MALKIN and DU

[janx]

What intern does Malkin's DU perusal? I mention this because I was chasing down some links, and the FAUX NEWS story about the "massive Google bomb" (all of thirty posts on the subject) seems to have originated there.

Check this out:

http://www.michellemalkin.com/

From there it went to Little Green Footballs, whatever the heck that means...

Freeperland picked up on it...

And then the FAUX NEWS story--all over 30 posts at DU?

:rofl:

1. Sheesh, does DU have that much influence that they have to

make up crap now?

[janx]

3. I don't know, but

seems to think so...

[LynneSin]

4. Seriously, post a damn warning before you show pictures like that

:puke:

[janx]

11. It's not a very flattering photo and is posted around here

regularly.

[LynneSin]

18. Yeah, I know but still

It's just damn frightening each time I see it

[Donnachaidh]

6. She looks like Sun Myung Moon

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Cool - they fear our power

Good deal.

[Fridays Child]

5. Hey, Michelle Malkin: BOO!

:rofl:

[janx]

9. There were some DU posters who used to make fun

of Malkin here, but I can't remember who they are. I think they knew that someone from that site read DU regularly.

[Generic Other]

20. Who would do that?

[janx]

22. ...

:rofl:

OK, can you give us some history? How much, exactly, does Malkin (or some kid acting in her behalf) access DU? How far does this go?

[mike_c]

7. next up-- the "christmas" google bomb....

It's time to take the war on christmas to a new level. You listening, Michelle?

Bwahahahaha....

[wyldwolf]

8. I haven't caused this much trouble since that unfortunate incident...

... in the 10th grade with my minister's daughter....

[janx]

15. Yeah!

:rofl:

That your post was the first (of all 30!) was not lost on me, Wyldwolf.

[Chiyo-chichi]

10. What intern?

I think it's her husband. Wasn't there a story a while back that said that her husband writes much or all of her blog?

[janx]

12. Don't know!

:shrug:

There have been posts about the Malkin web site here, but I can't find them. I'd love to see a history.

[Chiyo-chichi]

16. Apparently it does take the labor of 2 ppl to generate that kind of crap.

Here's a story about her hubby:

http://malkin-watch.blogspot.com/2005/11/ghost-blogging-redux.html

"Jesse Malkin is the driving force behind Michelle. He is a control freak. Michelle is no innocent victim either. She chose to be with the guy, and apparently they have been successful as this wingnut juggernaut. She needs him as much as he needs her."

23. I remember that

They are both PATHETIC and deserve each other.

[Chiyo-chichi]

26. Here's a good one on Jesse from the Liberal Avenger:

[janx]

28. So...it appears that Jesse wasn't terribly popular at Oberlin...

Mr. Jesse Malkin, founder and former publisher of the Oberlin Forum, physically assaulted and verbally threatened to kill me on the afternoon of the 1991 Commencement exercises, just after I had taken one picture of him for the Oberlin Hi-O-Hi 1991 yearbook supplement. I am writing because I feel that such an act of intolerance should be unacceptable in an academic community which of course values tolerance, freedom of speech, and - above all - civilized behavior toward all people, including photographers…

Why am I not surprised?

[wicket]

34. Holy shit!

I'd never heard about that! And Michelle Malkin has the GALL to call US unhinged?! :crazy:

[janx]

24. More questions--

Of course, Malkin does this for a living. But the weird thing is, she keeps it up no matter what. For example, on September 8th, the day she was on her way to speak at Berkeley, she posted four times, including one in-depth post about Eric Muller. She then posted a wrap-up of the talk and a review of her schedule at two am pacific time, before posting again at 9:30 the next morning.

More recently, on Friday night, Malkin posted this at 7:28 pm, updating it afterwards when it turned out her first source was probably mistaken. The same night, she gave a talk in Washington, D.C.Of course, Malkin does this for a living. But the weird thing is, she keeps it up no matter what.

If she does this for a living, who pays her? How many people can actually blog for a living?

[janx]

27. So it's either Michelle or her husband who reads DU?

How do they support themselves? I read about this Ph.D. from Rand, etc., and his "think tank" employment, etc....But are they just rich enough to sit at home and read DU and blog?

[Chiyo-chichi]

29. Good questions.

Maybe income from her speaking engagements and books supports them? I dunno.

[janx]

31. But why should she have any speaking engagements at all?

Where do these "pundits" come from? It's baffling.

[Mountainman]

13. How many pieces of the right wing machine does it take to keep the lies

going? I know some right wingers that I work with and if you leave out the political discussion we get along pretty good. I don't fault them for having the views that they do. I fault the liars out there who put out the shit that they believe in. The right wingers I know are just fertile ground for this shit. They repeat the lies and I know deep down they believe them. It is obvious to me how the right is going to fight the next election season. They are using swift boat tactics from now until Nov to get as many of their people as they can to not defect to the left. That and election manipulation is what they will use. I hope to hell we can get enough voters that it overwhelms their plans. I tend to doubt that we will. I am not getting my hopes up for Nov.

A lying 4 hour docudrama and Bush all in he same night with out any sponsors paying for it, you know this is a political act by the right.

[janx]

19. The pieces of the RW machine are much better organized

and connected than those on the left. That's why and how the lies get perpetuated so easily and thoroughly. (The links above are a tiny example.)

[jimshoes]

14. Well at least they don't know about

Plan "X".

[Buzz Clik]

17. Malkin is a true idiot.

However, she has the attention of other idiots, such as O'Reilly.

[janx]

21. See my post #19 n/t

[johnaries]

25. Wait a minute, it says Richard Clarke posted on DU?

Where's the thread? I missed it!

[janx]

30. So did I...

:shrug:

[cboy4]

32. This seems appropriate I think . . .

[dancingme]

33. Malkin and Coulter - two nutjobs

who have no credibility.

[Javaman]

35. And she matters, why? nt
