I know Michelle and Jesse Malkin’s home address. I didn’t seek it out. I didn’t lift one finger to find it. It was inadvertantly included in a mailing sent out to the Malkins’ e-mail list.

But I know it. And I’m not going to publish it. Not a chance. Why? Because we are better than them. They know their audience. They knew what the consequences of publishing addresses on their blog would be.

Now, I’m off to the post office - happy tax day, everyone. I will definitely be posting more later. But I just wanted to point out that for people as paranoid about “unhinged moonbats” as they are they don’t seem to feel the slightest compunction about unleashing the wingnut hordes on a group of college students.

They were busy over Easter weekend, weren’t they?

Update: Apparently the Malkins’ address has already been published. I’m actually worried about this development - I really don’t want anything untoward to happen. No one deserves physical harm or fear of same due to political speech.

Which is what makes me different from wingnuts. I don’t say things like:

If you are contacting them, I do not condone death threats or foul language. As for SAW, my message is this: You are responsible for your individual actions. Other individuals are responsible for theirs. Grow up and take responsibility.

Wow. The wingnut blame-the-victim mentality really pervades every issue under the sun, doesn’t it? “Death threats are never justified, but they were sure asking for them.”

Update 2: Thanks for your enthusiasm, but I would have thought that this post would also imply that I’d prefer you not post their address in comments, either.

Update 3: Emboldened by the success of the rabble-rousing, Malkin posts more e-mail addresses with the now-chilling postscript:

Forewarned is forearmed.

Update 4: I don’t know how much Malkin is or isn’t being harassed. A little bit is too much. But according to Technorati, exactly one blogger (and no one of significant readership) has posted the home address in the body of a post. Eh, this doesn’t really mean anything. Commisar in comments claims that TBogg has the address posted, although I certainly couldn’t find it.

It doesn’t matter, anyway. It’s not appropriate no matter how few have done it.

Update 5: Due to wingnut plants and other silliness, I’ve gone ahead and closed comments on this thread. Never done that before. I’ve also been fairly liberal, so to speak, with the delete button. Some deleted comments may not have deserved it. But considering the lengths and depths to which some commenters are going (some of whom are absolutely winger plants) I want to keep the whole thing as aboveboard as possible.

Malkin posts without comment about the death of Tom Fox, a member of Christian Peacemaker Teams taken hostage last year.

It’s a good thing she didn’t comment, because CPT stand for everything she’s against. But the “best commenters on the internet” had some things to say. Not as vile as what they had to say about Rachel Corrie, but… (No links to LGF!)

Stupidity kills but I still feel pity.

This reminds me of the guy up in Alaska who thought the bears were his friends and he could reason with them. He got eaten. I feel very sorry for his family and pray for his misguided soul.

I rather doubt that any of this group were actual Christians*….they were in reality from an organization that is very very far left and anti American and anti Israel and much of their doctrine was and is very very hateful…

im sure these sand monkies are putting the final touches on the video before releasing it to al-jahshitta.

There is nothing Christian about these people. They are aligned with evil.

Just wondering if it is Christianity or BSD/LLL that motivates these people. We need to consider that OUR gene pool needs protecting.

If Tom Fox was indeed so passionate about his faith, I’m sure he wouldn’t want anyone to avenge his murder.**

CNN is running a pic of the deceased wearing a bedouin headdress. I think it sums it up perfectly.
‘Go native’ and go lifeless, kumbaya-koolaid drinkers.

And the tour de force:

I’ve met quakers, especially the Virginia/West Virginia kind, and can’t fucking stand these people. They get all the benefits of being hippie, socialist, anti-war space cadets while still being stuck-up, self-righteous pricks. They’re not Christians in any literal sense, but ecumenical asshats who accept every religion except traditional Christianity. The kind of people who are tolerant of everything except intolerance (i.e. having a conservative, adult view of the world).

Fuck you too, buddy.

And rest in peace, Mr. Fox.

* This kind of statement should be some sort of Godwin’s law corollary. To call CPT “not actual Christians” is to display a complete ignorance of actual Christianity.

** This statement, while said sarcastically, is actually probably wholly accurate. I’ve met people like Tom Fox, and I guarantee he wouldn’t want anyone to “avenge his death.”

It took me until the third post of his to realize it, but this blogger speaks the truth.

Michelle Malkin, much like Ann Coulter, has come to understand that ‘Conservativism’ now means to many so-called Conservatives…

It means racial, cultural and religious animus.

It means welcoming and encouraging the ‘Clash of Civilizations’.

It means, ultimately, the offer of either subjugation or extermination to the ‘Other’.

My uncomfortableness with the Dubai ports deal has been very tentative and qualified - based simply on the UAE’s history as the center for finance in the Muslim world and therefore, by default, finance for terrorism - not to mention UAE citizens involved in 9/11.

But Dennis is right, and it’s kind of surprising that in this day and age Democrats, usually so quick to denounce xenophobia, are just blindly engaging in it without disclaimer or qualification.

He’s wrong about one thing, though.

Not that Malkin would be so crude as to lay these particular cards on the public table.

She couldn’t give away those particular cards more clearly if they were pasted to her head.

Via Chris Clarke, here’s how an American handles outspoken people he doesn’t like:

Edward Wycoff began planning in September how he would approach his sister and brother-in-law and kill them, he said in a jail interview Friday.

“What I wanted to do was get rid of them, leave no evidence, and get out,” said the 37-year-old Citrus Heights man. “And then raise the kids later on…”

Speaking coherently and politely, Wycoff said Friday that he was upset with the “liberal” political views of his sister and her husband, and also concerned about how his sister was managing their father’s estate and how she was treating an aunt…

The Sheriff’s Department is housing him in a module for inmates who need medical or mental attention. He insists that he does not hear voices and that he has never killed anyone before.

“I don’t think of myself as a murderer. Yes, I killed some people. I was supposed to make the world a better place,” he said. “If people out there think I’m a bad guy, I might just let them execute me.”

The central question: was he screaming “Allahu Akbar!” as he did it?
