Malkin: "underhanded Lefty tactics" and a "journalistic dumpster diver"
Five days leter and she's still crying. I personally think she likes the attention...it gives her something to write about, and as the old saying goes, "there's no such thing as bad publicity."

She also seems to really enjoy fanning the Swift Boat flames.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

http://michellemalkin.com/



A perfect example of this is what happened last Thursday night on Hardball, where I was scheduled to talk about my book and, at the last minute, the Swift Boat Vets and their book. In a hysterical effort to "block the data"--i.e., the questions about Kerry's self-inflicted wounds raised in Unfit for Command--Chris Matthews transformed my words into "shooting himself on purpose." Gossip columnist Lloyd Grove, journalistic dumpster diver, picks up on this mainstream media-manufactured meme today and selectively quotes from the show transcript in support of Matthews. Some viewers say I should have clarified the military vs. civilian interpretation of "self-inflicted wounds." Most fair-minded viewers saw that this is exactly what I was trying to do--against gale force winds.

Despite all of Matthews' huffing and puffing and belittling of me (he referred to me last night on his show as "Michelle Malkin or something" after admitting watching our exchange "12 times"...how ridiculously insecure is that?), and despite all of the rest of the MSM's stonewalling, the SwiftBoat story continues to unfold. Here's the latest on Kerry's apparent backtracking on his first Purple Heart Wound and here's a new piece at FrontPageMag taking a critical look at Kerry's Silver Star citations.

Jeff Jacoby has related thoughts on Kerry's biggest fawning fans in the press. And on his new blog (welcome aboard!), David Limbaugh reports on more underhanded Lefty tactics against the Swiftees during ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulous (scroll down) on Sunday. See also Jack Kelly at Jewish World Review on the role of the blogosphere.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

The Grove column she references:

"'Hardball' or 'slimeball'?"

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/225072p-193340c.html

Count right-wing pundit Michelle Malkin as a dissatisfied "Hardball" customer. Since her raucous appearance the other night on the MSNBC show - where she didn't get to hawk her provocative book, "In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror" - Malkin has been on a rampage against "Hardball's" host, Chris Matthews.

On her personal Web site, C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" and Rush Limbaugh's radio show, Malkin has been attacking Matthews as a "sexist" who employs "slimeball tactics" and worse.

Yesterday, Matthews and "Hardball" producers Tammy Haddad and Ann Klenk heatedly rejected Malkin's claim that the 58-year-old host was trying to belittle her when he jokingly asked off camera if she was old enough to appear on "Hardball."

7. Stolen!
Once the webserver's up again (probably another B/C04 dirty trick I'm telling you!) that pic will grace my blog!

Behold the priceless expression of spoiled rotten entitlement.

8. Then you will undoubtedly want the complete set...
"Michelle Malkin, a rising young harpy with the face of a stewardess and the analytical skills of a tack hammer, although possessed of considerably less charm"

2. Also check Malkin's "Track Backs"
Many are RW bloggers are of course "atta girls" but some of "ours" them really beat her up.

3. Your posting about a woman who has no problem walking herself
and her own people in to a concentration camp i.e. Japanese WWII internment camps. This is what her self flogging book is about.


She, like the rest of the brain washed freaks might as well vote themselves in to the gas chambers. Brain washing is a powerful thing.

12. Malkin isn't Japanese
" her own people in to a concentration camp i.e. Japanese WWII internment camps. "

Just to keep the context clear, Malkin is ethnically Filipino, not Japanese.

18. Maybe it's BECAUSE she is Filipina that she can

approve of the American internment of Japanese-Americans. The Japanese occupied the Philippines and they weren't a kindly occupation force at all. Some Filipinos who remember those days truly hate the Japanese so she may have learned this within her family.

Not that I have any doubts she's a nasty piece of work.

21. Please don't try to justify her insanity
by the horrible things the Japanese did during WWII.

Lest we forget, the vast majority of Japanese who were interned by the US were American citizens.

4. She plays the poor little victim
as she slams a man brave enough to go to Nam and then try to change the policy. The bimbo got what she deserved from Matthews.

These far right-wing extremists have had an easy go because Bushco was (s)elected president, but moderate Americans have had enough of their intolerant spiel.

11. what a lying bitch
"Chris Matthews transformed my words into "shooting himself on purpose.""

no, he did not. she mumbled "self-inflicted wounds", to which mattews responded, "are you saying he shot himself on purpose?", to which she never said "no".
then she kept blabbering and saying "some people say" and "in that book", etc, but mattews kept asking directly whether or not SHE was claiming that kerry shot himself on purpose...to which she never said "no".
implying that her answer is yes.
and now, after being revealed as a piece of shit, she is playing the victim card, and using the spotlight to spew more vicious attacks. she has become wise in the ways of the republican side of the force. she serves her masters well.



stupid bitch, you're the shame of asian-americans everywhere.

17. Edward R. Murrow would have asked her to get out of his sight pronto
Malkin should just give up the journalist act and get into porn instead. She and Newt could do a video of them together with the Bush doll and some Crisco.

20. Hypocrisy.
I love how she's complaining about being misquoted, and having words placed in her mouth, when she's accused Keith Olbermann of calling her an "idiot", which he did not, plus plenty of other contextless distortions and misquotes about Matthews.

She then complains about the improprieties of asking about her age, then calling these journalists slimeballs and dumpster divers.

She's not a journalist. She's an opinionist. Go read the MSNBC Hardblog, and check out some of Joe Scarborough's latest rants. They're completely devoid of facts (or links to facts), and overflowing with rhetoric. They're in the same boat.

People will believe you if they're not informed otherwise.
