"I disagree with Michelle Malkin plenty, and sometimes think she goes over the top, but I respect her. I once laughed out loud when someone tried to tell me most of Michelle Malkin's fans are racist. Yeah whatever. I see things like this a lot more often these days."

I got that comment from Dean Esmay's blog today.

I think it is downright stupid the people who throw racist insults at Malkin or anyone else, but I have to tell you, I am sick of the MEME that Lefty's are more hateful than Right Wingers. Anyone who wants to throw a "pitty party," for Michelle is welcome to do so, but I have seen worse racism directly from Michelle herself at times, not to mention her readers.

Just the fact that Michelle justified Japanese American internment during WWII, makes her suspect with me. But I could site you a dozen examples... Look at the story on Ray Nagin today. Michelle quotes one of the resident idiots from Powerline:

"Having witnessed Marion Barry repeatedly elected mayor of Washington, D.C., I can't say I'm surprised at Nagin's success. Re-electing an unsuccessful or disgraced mayor apparently can become a source of civic pride, particularly when the racial politics are right."

Now, other than being BLACK, what the HELL does Ray Nagin have to do with the convicted criminal from D.C.?

So yeah, I agree with Dean that the racial insults against Michelle are deplorable. But painting her as a picture of innocence in all this, is equally ridiculous, just as it is to say that Lefties have some sort of monopolly on hate...
