A great post brought to you by Michelle Malkin: “Marine has farewell dinner with family before shipping off to Iraq. Stranger picks up the tab.”
Get it from the source, Peenie Wallie.
And, lest I forget, what a babe is this Michelle! Her husband is one lucky man. You should see her on TV!
And she’s smart, fierce and Filipina. She produces articles, postings and books by the bushel, all of them interesting and well-written. How can you beat that?
UPDATE: Here’s a website featuring “Umberto the Unborn,” that cleverly conflates a pro-life message with a rousing note of support for our boys in Iraq.
UPDATE: The pornographic trackback attack staged on Michelle Malkin’s site this afternoon was an act of terrorism. There is no other word for it. I’ve been candid on this site about the fact that I’ve viewed pornography. I'm no prude. I seriously doubt that Ms. Malkin is a prude.
Similar pornographic attacks on Ms. Malkin’s comments feature, many of them viciously racist, gave her no choice but to cease accepting comments. We would all benefit from being able to comment on her site. It is one of the most interesting, comprehensive and well written sites on the internet. Obviously, the intent behind this terrorist attack on her site is to make it equally impossible for her to accept trackbacks.
Ms. Malkin very generously shares her huge audience with other webloggers by providing us with this trackback capability. The radical left harbors within it a deranged, terrorist faction. As demonstrated by the attacks on her comments section, the radical left is often brutally racist. These attacks on Ms. Malkin’s site should be condemned throughout the blogosphere.
Only a person in thrall to a cannibalistic death cult could conflate a "pro-life message" with "war" and not have their head explode.

Well, that's mighty great rhetoric.
Problem is, you didn't actually say anything.
Want to try again?

What passes for terrorism these days boggles the mind. By your definition anything that is intentionally offensive would constitute an act of terrorism.
I'm not trying to justify the childish actions of whoever posted the link, but we all should realize that warping the definition of words can be a double-plus bad thing.

furtive,
You are quite wrong.
By staging these types of attacks, the attackers are waging economic warfare on Ms. Malkin.
Her site stood undefended for most of the afternoon. I suspect that this is because she operates the site on a limited budget, and cannot afford to hire help to keep a 24 hour watch on activity on her site.
The attackers are forcing Ms. Malkin into a choice between spending more money that she may not have to secure her site, by hiring personnel to watch for such attacks.
This is an act of economic terrorism.

No.
A nuissance of porn links does not equate to an act of violence against the state or the public at large. Economic or not. If you don't like that, then run through the hoops of your government to get things changed. In the meantime, freedom of speech lets them link to whatever they feel like.

It was an act of violence against Ms. Malkin.
The left isn't very liberal any more, is it? The ferocious desire to cut off the free speech of others is never far beneath the surface.
These actions, I repeat, were act of economic sabotage against Ms. Malkin. They were attempts to prevent her from fully exploiting her weblog, and to prevent others from fully exploiting access to her weblog.
The tyrannical frame of mind represented by the very childish "furtive" is on display in great depth at www.metafilter.com. Visit it and you will see just how illiberal and fearful of discourse the left has become.

So that’s free speech? Someone makes a comment and you delete it? I guess it’s only free speech if you agree with it. If not then its terrorism.

I deleted the post because of the obscenities.
I'll leave up any posts that do not contain obscenities.

An attack like that on a site you don't like is tantamount to a surpression of free speech. Whether you agree or not with the tone of the site is beyond the point.

Peter,
How would you feel if I followed you around and said the F word really loud everywhere you went. In front of your kids, if you have any, in front of your wife, if you have one, and in front of any one to whom you talked. Would that be free speach, or does free speach only count when it doesn't happen to you????
