Michelle Malkin's hate sites
One of the lowest and most dishonest tactics is to attempt to smear and demonize a blog by exploiting statements left on the blog by commenters which have no connection to the arguments made by the blogger. It is no surprise that right-wing pundits have made that tactic one of their most frequently invoked outbursts. The most recent example is, of course, Bill O'Reilly's campaign to pressure Jet Blue to withdraw its sponsorship of Yearly Kos due to statements made by Daily Kos commenters who have no connection to the site other than using it to comment.
Last night on his show, O'Reilly had on Clinton advisor Howard Wolfson -- who, rather meekly, was justifying Clinton's decision to attend Yearly Kos. O'Reilly read a few cherry-picked, inflammatory comments, labelled Daily Kos a "hate site," and then said: "Every respectable blog in the country does not permit this hatred."
Today, John Aravosis discovered several violence-inciting comments from Bill O'Reilly.com regulars, including ones threatening violence against Hillary Clinton. And O'Reilly was joined in his Decency crusade, as he always his, by his comrade and most frequent guest host, Michelle Malkin (who, just by the way, wrote a book defending internment camps).
Malkin repeatedly helped to fuel the pressure on Jet Blue to sever their sponsorship of Yearly Kos.
Here is but a sampling of the views promoted by the Aribter of Upstanding Political Discourse, O'Reilly partner Michelle Malkin, on her two hate sites, HotAir.com. These following comments she promoted are all from this month, and because they are so representative of the filth promoted by Malkin, they were easily found by a research assistant, Matthew Berman, in roughly an hour:
