Reply #53: Not in her defense, but...

[brook]

I have friends who grew up in the Phillipines during Japanese occupation. Some are, understandably, not well-disposed toward Japanese people. I keep wondering if Malkin's parents' experience (who are immigrants) plays into - or gives some sort of 'permission' - to her obvious racist attitude?

As I said - this is not a defense of what I consider to be a right-wing, shrill shill. I deplore her and her writings. I was just musing on what contributed to her unpleasant state of mind and her willingness to prostitute herself as she does.
