| Description | Michelle Malkin has crossed the line. What line? That line that separates humans with a moral core and, well, those apathetic creatures incapable of emotions like empathy or shame. For those who haven't followed the controversy, it goes something like this:
Right now, the dark-haired, lashy, Ann Coulter understudy is happily wrapped in one of her typical controversies: a crew of students at UC Santa Cruz, my alma mater, protested some military recruiters, and Malkin got hold of a press release with their personal contact information -- a poorly conceived inclusion on the students' part, but then, these are undergraduates, not trained media flacks. Rather than calling and speaking to them herself, which is what members of the press are supposed to use such releases for, Malkin published their personal information on her website, prompting her hordes of orcish mouth-breathers to brandish their pitchforks and inundate the unsuspecting students with death threats (some of which you can read here). When the students frantically called on Malkin to remove their numbers, she posted their contact information again.
That Malkin took advantage of the naivete of what she called "anti-war thugs" and "moonbats" is not out of character for her. Malkin's sustenance is hate--without it, she wouldn't have anything to write about. She thrives on the misery and pain of others as she peddles in racism and inflammatory rhetoric. And her readers eat it up. |
