Michelle deserves what she gets for that hate-mongering. She says disrespectful things about whole groups of people as well as individuals. I say if she can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen, but the way the repubs made death threats against MLK Jr.

Jim R.: Too right. That she or any other high profile person would get hate mail, and that some of it would be sexist or racist doesn’t shock me. But the sheer amount of hate and labor some of these people put into it… that shocked me.
Russell: I agree with you as well. I certainly hope Mrs. Malkin passed on some or all of these to the FBI or other law enforcement groups. I can see ignoring a short “you should die” email, but these ‘people’ go far beyond a thoughtless FU post.

I think there ought to be a site that bloggers and others can report this kind of verbal assault trash mail to for public listing, along with all the info the blogger has about them; names, ip addresses, etc. etc., so others can automatically block them from their blog and email in advance. Is there such a concentration site somewhere already, anybody?

Yeah, http://www.fbi.gov

Jab:”Regarding M.M.’s hate mail…This is such a silly non-issue.”

It is an issue Jab to the degree many, in including me, did not realize just how vulgar, disgusting, and threatening hate mail can get.

Even though it was difficult to read, I’m glad Michelle choose to post some of it and La Shawn brought it to our attention on her popular site.
Now we have real insight into what bloggers mean when they talk about ‘hate mail’. Unfortunately I wouldn’t call some of it ‘hate’, I would call it ‘assalt mail’.

Vulgar, thy name is…
The recent blogcry surrounding Michelle Malkin’s posting of some of her most profane hate mail has been commented on by many in the blogsphere. Most notably, many conservative bloggers…

If there is a crown image somewhere on your page, my computer does not display it. I’m sure it’s lovely.

The comments were not comments. They were not attacks. They were assaults. If addressed in public, or on air, they could have been considered criminal.

Such verbal assaults should not be dignified by publication, even on a website!

Regarding M.M.’s hate mail…

This is such a silly non-issue. I no doubt believe that most high-profile conservative bloggers get reams of vicious, cowardly hate mail from cretins on the extreme left… but certainly the same happens to high-profile liberal bloggers who get vicious, cowardly hate-mail from trolls on the extreme right… Each side has its share of uncouth, uncivilized nut-jobs…
If you’re a blogger, stop whining about it and deal with it… otherwise, stop blogging.

What is appaling, however, is when Ms. Malkin uses said examples of hate-mail as somehow representative of mainstream liberals… I’ve noticed that the vast majority of comments on this blog make the same utterly foolish leap in logic… extrapolating the actions of the extreme onto the mainstream…

If high-profile liberal bloggers starting posting all the hate mail they receive and then opined that this is representative of all conservatives, you would be extremely agitated and would rightly call foul…

Ms. Malkin is obviously intelligent and witty… she MUST know this… so I can only assume she does this to drum up sympathy from the partisans on the right…

I love the favicon but guess what I don’t like it. Queens in today’s world are figureheads with no power.

I think you should be President. Or a governor. Or the Secretary of State. Welll… Condaleeza Rice will do for that one.

Evon wrote, “Baklava: Can’t remember where but in an interview, Mr. Williams said that he is the owner and/or CEO of the firm that received the money from the Ed. Dept.”

My point exactly Evon. I am the owner of my Coporation also. My revenue differs from month to month. But I haven’t given myself a raise since the inception of my company. Nobody knows if Mr. Williams actually himself actually got more money out of the deal that his company struck. His company has other expenses that has already been expended on. To call for Mr. Williams to give the money back and/or other double-standards that aren’t applied to others who have received money from the government for messaging (remember the issue was disclosure not receiving) would be almost impossible without making his company cough up money that’s already been spent or making Mr. Williams pay something that he may have not received ten cents more in salary for than the previous months or years.

(this does not concern, btw, whether I agree or not with any of Malkin´s political views – it´s a reflection on her hate mail).

Very visible how the main type of slur is to call her a prostitute or whore. When liberals/lefties want to attack conservative minority men, however, they usually don´t call them whores. (albeit now, after the C-BS scandas, it seems the term media whore is becoming quite in vogue, but related to MSM gripes).

Quick reflections:
1) Lefties/liberals show their ingrained sexism for attacking women and not men like this.
2) Liberals are mostly too unethical and too violent to criticize prostitution systems, so why should they use the concept of “prostitute” as a slur? If they think a woman prostituting herself is such a bad thing (look how they chose to call Malkin), why do they hire so many prostitutes themselves and keep this system going worldwide?
3) I would love to do a statistical study of the political bent of pimps in the US and around the world. (liberal/conservative, left/right wing)
4) Do I need to mention that most pimps who exploit and torture women are also pro-homosexual? Ah, the attitudes of these progressive people…

To be fair, several of these criticisms can be applied to a portion of conservatives (have no idea in what proportion).

I read some of the emails, and it doesn;t surprise me in the least. These people haven’t got a brain, they don’t know how to discuss issues in a straightforward manner, so they reduce themselves to the level of depravity that they are. And remember, these are the people that referred to what Trent Lott said, as “hate speech”. Interesting, when the shoe is on the other foot

I assume the Southern Poverty Law Center will now investigate the people who sent hate mail to Michelle Malkin, and have them charged with a hate crime, right? At least that is what they do to normal Americans who speak their mind.

I am also sure Karen Narasaki, president of the National Coalition of Asians and Pacific Americans, will publicly condem this hate mail, right?
