Audacity of Truth
Flyswatter in Chief:
"He had this fly that was persistently buzzing around him during the interview...he swatted his hand and he said ‘I got the sucker’...it was a, you know, Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ moment."- The NYT's John Harwood, describing Obama's killing of a fly - 6/16/09
What he said
Jeff Goldstein has some strong words for the jerks who splashed Michelle Malkin’s home address, home photos, and maps of how to get to her house on their blogs in apparent retaliation for her posting the email addresses and phone numbers of SAW (Students Against War) – the group who were behind the recent nasty anti-military recruiting protest where military recruiters, as a result, were forced into leaving a job fair being held at UC Santa Cruz. Mind you, the email addresses and phone numbers of the SAW members in question were made public by SAW themselves in a press release, which Michelle noted in an earlier post here (see also here). Goldstein writes:
Whether or not you care for Michelle Malkin’s political positions, you should be honest enough to admit that this crusade to try to intimidate her and her family—a crusade being waged by mostly anonymous cowards who no person in the blogosphere, left OR right, should encourage or countenance—is both disgraceful and, in the long run, dangerous. Not only that, but the pretext upon which it is based—the reprinting of a press release (which last I checked was INTENDED to be disseminated, and was in fact, as of yesterday, still available in its entirety on a number of leftwing sites)—is so laughable as to be insulting to anyone with even a spark of electricity traveling across his or her grey matter.
So. I am now calling for the very public condemnation and ostracizing of those who would post satellite photos and personal addresses of a their political opponents on the web. I am also calling for the public condemnation and ostracizing of those hyperpartisan bloggers / media figures who condone or applaud such actions.
Count me in.
Check out Michelle’s response to what those on the unhinged left are trying to do. You go girl.
The unhinged hardcore lefties who engage sick stuff like this have a chillingly unhealthy obsession with trying to silence popular righty bloggers they don’t like, don’t they?
Basic human decency and a mutual respect for the right of the voices on the other side of the aisle to speak is just a little bit too much to ask from some people, I guess.
The original DU thread which contained the information is no longer up but Ankle Biting Pundits has posted a note from someone who alerted them to the thread earlier Wednesday:
All of Michelle Malkin’s personal info–name, address, phone–and an remarkable array of aerial photos of her house were deliberately published on Democratic Underground early this morning. Incredibly, they included detailed pics of her house, her street etc.–all helpfully circled in graduated photos that showed her entire subdivision right up to her front door. I have the original post if you would like to see it.
It’s no longer up on DU, but it was for about a half-hour this morning. If you need it, let me know. This was done in ‘retaliation’ for her publishing the names and addys of the military recruiter protestors at Santa Clara/Cruz? University several days ago (even though she put up several notices IN ADVANCE about how to handle the issue if you didn’t want your info published. Their info was also available at several other websites (and still is); they are singling out MM simply because they hate her. I cannot print the names on her blog that they continue to call her…
The Politburo Diktat has a link to another DU thread on this topic that will make your blood boil.

“Posting their press release that they posted themselves?”
That they then asked removed from malkin’s site. It depends on whats done with the info, not just that its ‘out there’ and ‘in public.’
So andrew, are they more concerned about the info they posted being reposted on her site because she has a far better following than the place they chose, or is it just another day of, let’s play the asshat card again and see how much grief and destruction we can cause.
Jerks like these, deserve no defense and you do yourself injustice by attempting to justify their inabilities to create anything worthwhile. I have read a lot of your posts and you are smarter than that. What good can come of it?
Forest, andrew can’t help himself. He’s in knee-jerk protect the liberals mode. He can’t see his own lack of ethics because he, like most liberals, don’t have any ethics. Wolfe is the same. He can’t admit to himself that the left is wrong and Malkin did nothing wrong.
steve(FN) is just showing how deluded, delusional, and ill informed he is. steve(FN) is as sad case.
Well, PCD, that’s what years of government education and moral relativism will do for you.
Moral relativism means never having to say you’re sorry…
sev, or admit that you are wrong.
Andrew, I agree, IF they have written to Malkin, email or however they needed to reach her, to ask for the information to be removed from her site and she does not do it, THEN I will have a problem with hypocrisy of Malkin putting up the disclaimer about removing information if requested.
But that is IF they actually have written to Malkin to do so.
As of yet, last update I have seen from Malkin was that they have not.
Yes, I know, it then becomes a match of he said, she said, of whom to believe.
I have followed a few links to what people said they informaed malkin, but it doesn;t say or show anything of any email or word to malkin, just that they have been receiving hate mail. Which is uncalled for.
But saying and showing you are receiving hate mail is not a request to another site owner to remove your information from their site.
If you have proof, I would gladly look at it.
Sev and PCD: It’s almost like they either check someones watch or look at a calendar, to determine which way the next shift in the perpetual spin cycle is to be.
Forest, they post diaries to each other on DU. That is how they do it.
“Forest, andrew can’t help himself. He’s in knee-jerk protect the liberals mode.”
I know know what knee is jerking, but putting up addresses in a manner that leads to harassment is wrong no matter who does it.
- Hey guys. Its tough when you’re powerless, and your basic approach to everything is “Blame America first”. A few of my Liberal friends are really torn because they vehemently disagree with a lot of the rabid craziness of the hard left. But its the really demented types that are willing to go way over the line that usually scream the loudest, and the LMSM just loves it.
- They’re definately in a no-win situation. If they just accept things it could be years before they regain political clout. Screaming and trampling on everything in sight, “Anygate” scams, and smear campaigns may get them headlines and confuse the public about Bush and the administration, but it doesn’t equal any more votes at the ballot box. Nobodies going to vote for a bunch of ethicless maniacs. But with no party plan I guess they think its the only option left.
- Just so damn glad I don’t have to defend that camp of morons.
- Bang
andrew, you just demonstrated your basic blindness if not stupidity about this. That was a press release those dopes at SAW put out. It is a PUBLIC document. It was posted openly. Only idiots can’t understand that when you openly disseminate a document for public consumption that everything on there is then made known to the public. Now, are going to prove you are an idiot by disputing this and continuing on with your tantrum about Malkin?
Still waiting on your proof steve….
From your assertions made on 4/20/2006 – 7:47 pm.
I gave you PROOF in my posting of 4/20/2006 – 8:41 pm, of Malkin’s husband, who he is, and where they live, and even gave you where Noonan Lives as an added bonus.
Now, I would like to see your proof on where you got you ideas and thoughts that Malkin and Noonan (Blogs for Bush) were married.
You come in here and make wild and outlandish statements, you need to back up your statements. Otherwise you add nothing to the discussions.
