Nice Love Letter, Howie

Posted at 15:23 by Brad Altrocket

Snip...

Good God, Howie.

This is a woman who (michellemalkin.com/archives/003250.htm) sneeringly posted Cindy Sheehan’s divorce papers on her website in (www .balloon-juice.com/?p=5296) a sickening moment of bwah-ha-ha gotcha “journalism.” She laughably accused the New York Times’ travel section of aiding and abetting would-be assassins of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. She wrote a (www. isthatlegal.org/Muller_and_Robinson_on_Malkin.html) shoddily researched and overtly propagandistic “history” book defending mass racial internment. And let’s not forget her (thepoorman.net/?p=132) loony conspiracy theories about Mexicans plotting to retake the Southwestern United States in a full-scale reconquista.

What I’m trying to say, Howie, is that Michelle Malkin is a first-class wacko. This is not even a debatable point. But instead of challenging her with peoples’ legitimate criticisms of her “work,” you let her blather on about the random assholes who have left racist comments about her in blogs. Bloody hell. By letting her whine incessantly about the evil, nasty, unhinged wiberal bwoggers, you let her off the hook for all the crazy-assed crap she’s done over the last few years. Stop being a chump, homey.

From Atrios:

Howie Kurtz says "The liberal blogger Atrios (Duncan Black) called Malkin a racist over her views on immigration and said anyone who promotes her site 'may as well be promoting the Klan."

I doubt I've ever called Malkin a racist over her views on immigration, unless she was appealing to or invoking racism when addressing the subject. People can have a tremendous range of views on the subject of immigration without racism having anything do with it.

I call Malkin a racist because of her support for the mass arrest and detention of people, including large numbers of American citizens, based solely on their race/ethnic background, and for her association with White Nationalist promoting site vdare.com

Here's the Klan post for all to see:

Judging from all the link cooties I've been sensing, the entire right wing of the blogosphere has leapt to the defense of the racist Michelle Malkin. Fascinating. There's rarely a bigot they won't defend. Here's a reminder for them all:
