When Fascists Attack 12 Year Olds: why aren’t the Steyn and Malkin families in prison?
They won’t admit they got their facts wrong, and they’ll continue to attack a struggling family simply because their 12 year old supports something the fascists oppose.
When did it become acceptable to treat working families this way? I know of no church in this country that teaches these pundits and commentators to bully children and to persist in bearing false witness against them.
In civil society, such bullies are shunned, shoved out to the margins. But in the past two decades, some political leaders encourage this, and depend on this sort of cruelty. I’m still regularly shocked by examples of modern adulthood that see nothing wrong with this sadistic behavior.
It’s sad enough that the public demand for addordable health care has remained ignored for nearly two decades with two out of three Americans wanting it. But to attack a family whose children survived because of such help is something else entirely.
And since it’s not the churches teaching them to act this way, I can only wonder if Michelle Malkin’s parents and Mark Steyn’s parents were terrible, unfit jackals who physically and sexually abused them, subjecting them to torture and rape and preying on the neighborhood children with their sick and twisted perversions.
What other conclusion can be drawn? Somebody needs to get Malkin and Steyn psychiatric help and throw their asshole, fascist monster parents into prison for their reprehensible crimes. Where they can understand what it’s like to be raped and abused and tortured.
According to Steyn and Malkin, after all, their families are ‘fair game’ for this slashing verbal attack. As well, they should be phoned and criticized directly, all day long.
In reality, I have no idea why these opinion makers engage in this brutality. They could be demon possessed or psychotic or paid off by others to perform these hitman duties. But one thing is clear: supposedly responsible media outlets are paying them to act so viciously. And advertiser dollars pay for those media sponsors.
If we are ever going to restore an ethical foundation in our media, it’s time for therapy for the vicious and consumer boycotts to make it clear to the advertisers what kind of fascism they’re actually supporting.

Well, when you put it that way, I suppose one can’t help but feel sorry for Malkin and Steyn, rather than disgusted by their behavior.

Kevin,
I happen to know Michelle’s parents, and they’re very good people. They’re just as horrified at Michelle’s behavior as everyone else. In fact, Michelle hasn’t spoken to them in over two years because they did, in fact, stand up to her. However, as long as Jesse is calling the shots (and he absolutely is), Michelle will continue her destructive behavior. So please stop denigrating Michelle’s parents. They’re just as much Michelle’s victims as is Graeme Frost.

Jo, while I concede it’s possible that you’re on the level, I have no idea who you really are. Further, I always hear on the news that neighbors say “he always seemed to be very nice” after they capture baby rapists and serial killers.
So all I can do is go by the published evidence of what Michelle actually writes. Since I’ve heard no professional call her legally insane, the only reasonable explanation is she was tortured and abused till her soul grew warped.
I suppose it could be Jesse that’s responsible because a Freeper blogger said he’s a hermaphrodite who gets his/her jollies with underage sheep, which he learned from his mother, who was a crack whore. Freepers, after all, are reliable sources.
For all I know, you’re one of the immigrants the Malkins have kept locked in their basement dungeon seeking an extra bowl of grits by saying nice things about Michelle’s God-hating parents.

I think it might be a good idea to contact Maglalangadingdong’s parents, and see if they would like to go on the record condemning their daughter’s rabid frothings.
Jo: if you happen to know those people, would you be able to ask them if they would consent to either an email interview (send them questions via email; get answers back via return email) or a phone interview? I would be happy to try and get some questions together (it would be nice to get some input from my fellow Street denizens [hint, hint] on what to ask) to ask them.
I also think that Kevin’s remark about her parents being unfit was made to point out the type of unfounded supposition and personally insulting comments that these neo-clowns routinely engage in.

How can you wonder why Malkin does what she does? It has made her a STAR. She guest hosts The Factor for god’s sake! She is an internet Coulter.
The ones you should REALLY worry about are her ‘followers’. After Congress and the POTUS become Democratic it is her followers who will be bringing guns to the affair. People like The Frosts’ will be in REAL danger then. At that time the media/Malkin/O’Reilly will be SO shocked it would go that far. But they will say it with a wink.
BTW, emailing Malkin’s parents starts to get to close to what the freebers do. Over the last few months I have seen this ‘drive’ to use the same tactics as them to frequently. You don’t want to become them.

I heard Terry Gross interview Stephen Colbert on Fresh Air this morning. He talked about Bill O’Reilly coming on his show and not “being Bill O’Reilly.” He also said O’Reilly insisted it’s just an act, it’s a just a persona.
When you lie, misinform, and basically do whatever it takes to destroy someone’s reputation or life, it’s not an act, it’s not persona. It’s despicable and I think reveals the true inner core.
Malkin is just another thug.

Warren, I agree that the parents should not be contacted. Bush’s parents should be, instead. Ask them why their son’s such a loser with his Four Million Children Left Behind act.

I see you guys engaging in a lot of hyperbole about someone who did some actual reporting about the family in question but yet, you are doing nothing to engage the substance of their arguments.
Which are: We have a family that was willing to put their 12 year in the middle of a political battle. Now, people have questions about the family, their income and the lifestyle they lead.
Those are legitimate questions and yet you people are hiding behind a 12 year old. rather than taking a good look at the family itself and wondering why they can’t seem to find the money to pay for health care.
Ann Coulter has you guys pegged. She sees right through your game. You socialists try to run out someone you think no one dares attack. You’re reduced to using a 12 year old to shield yourselves against legitimate political arguments.
Completely shameless and hypocritical is all you people are.
If you guys have such compassion for children, then is it right for these parents to put their child in the middle of a political battle?

Well - if AnnThraxx the Coulterbeast says it, it must be true! It would never lie… hahahahahahahaha! I almost said it with a straight face.
Funny, how Democrats are shameless and hypocritical - yet, when Putsch used the snowflake babies to shield himself against legitimate political arguments, you said nothing.
Funny, how Democrats are shameless and hypocritical - yet, when Boehner used the children to shield himself against legitimate political arguments, you said nothing.
Funny, you say we should be looking at the family finances and the facts of the case - yet, you said nothing true about the family financial situation, and instead based attacks on lies.
Project much?

Substance, Blake? Okay, try the posts above this, including one today (Wednesday) that quotes you directly.

Interesting, no one bothered to come up with any information about the family. Nor did anyone care to wonder about the wisdom of putting a 12 year old in the middle of a political battle.
As for the snowflake babies, no idea what you’re referring to. I’ve no idea who or what they are. If you have a link, I’d like to look at it.
Oh, and if you’re really interested in discussion or at least tossing a few insults, how about using real names.
It was fun tossing out Ann Coulter, throwing her in the face of liberals is like tossing holy water in the face of a vampire. Lots of hissing and gnashing of teeth, and little else. (Hey, it’s closing in on Halloween, gotta toss in the old vampire allusion)
Anyway, the couple in question has a house with a lot of equity in it, refuses to back up their assertion about how much they make. Check the Baltimore Sun, they asked. (hey, if they’re hiding income from the IRS, well, I think we’ll all agree that the IRS is a common enemy)
For a lot of years I made less than $45K and most certainly didn’t have any equity in the house we had. But, I was fortunate enough to have health insurance through my job. I also never expect the government to pay for my kids. In fact, my first child was not covered by health insurance. So, we made payment arrangements with the hospital.
When I’ve been between insurance companies, I’ve had to pay for prescriptions out of my pocket. So it goes. Again, if someone is dirt poor, then yes, they need a hand at times.
These people are far from being poor. Again, you people are hiding behind a twelve year old rather than engage in the substance of the debate, which is: Since when is a family making $45,000 per year poor enough to require government assistance?
Also, are we, as taxpayers, by subsidizing insurance for these people, also subsidizing the children going to an expensive private school?
If you all think this is okay, then, where do you stand on school vouchers?
Finally, thanks for letting me post. Other liberal sites tend to delete and ban us rightwingers in rather short order.
