While we’re at it, would someone ask one of these wingnuts exactly what “fair game” means? And wait until they get an actual answer? One that has actual concrete nouns in it?

Fair game for having people cruise your house? Look in your windows? Check out your kitchen counters?

If a 12 year old is a fair game for coming out to support SCHIP, why is Petraeus beyond criticism when he was used by administration to basically do its political bidding?

I’d really like to see someone call the cops on her: “Hey, there’s a strange foreign woman creeping around outside next door. Looks like she’s lookin’ in the kids’ bedrooms, I think she must be a crazy. Please come and get her before there’s a tragedy!”

Don’t you just love the idea of (Insert city name here)’s finest pushing her face into the grass and cuffing her hands behind her back? Don’t you feel a warm glow at the thought of her facing the result of creeping around stalking innocent kiddies? Can’t you just imagine her attempt to defend herself against a charge of Being A Dangerous Wingnut Loony?

Was that actually her address, or was that her previous address that had already been published, causing her to move and screech about all the bad people doing what she does?

Malkin is fair game now, for what she did to that kid and his family. She isn’t going to stop because she’s being mocked or because of the outrage: the only thing she understands is brute force.

We can only hope someday she will try her shtick on somebody with a gun.

Know what though, h8tr? In my view, hate actually isn’t our best weapon here. The authoritarian right hates naturally, and much better than we do, or probably ever will. Maybe you feel differently- and that’s fine, maybe you’re right. To me, the kind of tactics that Malkin uses are not usually in our interest. Instead, we are much better at unrelenting mockery.

It’s not hate…it’s righteousness… Protecting the poor and the defenseless against the monsters.

Malkin’s got all her wingnut welfare, which subsidizes her vulgar attacks on poor children, and mockery will stop her? No effin’ way. The bitch needs to know that her adversaries can be menacing too.

“What are we trying to accomplish here?”

I was simply trying to point out the inadequacy of relentless mockery in the face of such reckless hate. You’re right on all counts, but that doesn’t make me feel better. Sometimes, Karma is not revenge enough.

That picture is fucking classic. Stalkin’ Malkin is on the case!

That said, I do not support posting Stalkin’s address. Obviously, there is a need for one group to be grown-ups, and it’s quite clear that Stalkin and her fellow whiny titty-babies are not at all up to such a task.

Yeah, sure, but the real crime is that the blink tag is disabled in comments. Makes me feel powerless…

OK, update: apparently the STRIKE tag works, while S and DEL do not. So you can indeed ~~censor~~ redact your ~~vitriolic screeds~~ detailed arguments like a ~~wingnut~~ principled American Conservative.

Sadly, Cambridgeport: Sadly, No, like a lot of blogs these days, doesn’t have a real preview function. The autopreview just copies the contents of the text area into the page as you type, and it doesn’t apply the filters that the actual site does. I’m pretty sure if you wanted, you could put all sorts of stuff into the preview — images, Javascript, Flash — only to have it stripped out when you finally post.

It might be useful if the Sadlynauts would provide us with a list of permitted tags. And also if they’d enable strikethrough. I’m wondering about this: s-tag ~~strike-tag~~ del-tag

It is wrong to publicize Malkin’s address, but if she has a penchant for going to peoples houses to check them out in person, maybe someone can bait her!

Hey, you can’t throw a bunch of eggs on the floor and p*** and sh*t on them and call the resulting horrible mess an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

Best summary of wingnut “citizen journalism” yet.

Isn’t that the Mark Foley defence?

I wonder if her stance has now changed.

Depends on how wide it is. (rump-bump-bump)

Seriously, it was the same thing with those Santa Cruz kids she sicced her drooling dogs on. Stalking is only bad to her when it’s a conservative like her at the receiving end.

It’s that conservative situational ethics that they live by. Well, her and Fake Gary, at least.

Michelle Malkin runs through the town
Upstairs and downstairs in her nightgown
Rapping at the windows, crying at the locks,
“Are the moonbats in bed? Wait — they have beds? They don’t need SCHIP!”

If I remember correctly a few years ago Malkin DID have a problem with a stalker. I seem to remember that her blog had less than pleasant things to say abou thtat fellow.

I wonder if her stance has now changed.

Hate is deeply wearing. It honestly cannot be sustained. The RW echo chamber indulges in faux outrage, not hate. But from outside the box, it LOOKS like hate, and more and more people are seeing them for what they are.

Rovian politics was always a short-term, salted earth solution. It created immediate wins, but not a sustainable majority. And when it was couple with the neocon taste for cynicism, authoritarianism, corporatist favoritism and geopolitical intervention, it created a deeply loathed minority that has not yet awakened to the fact that they are reviled.

But of course, they will be back. A large segment of the population finds authoritarian leadership attractive, especially in uncertain times. And the next Rove just might have a better long-term plan…
