Michelle Malkin - what's her deal?

[islandgirl808]

is she like the asian ann coulter or something?

i don't know much about her and i just read her bio on wiki. i did NOT know she was filipino and frankly, i'm embarrassed that we share the same heritage. :puke:

apparently, she wrote a book defending WWII internment camps for japanese-americans and parlaying that to justify racial profiling of arabs after 9/11 :thumbsdown:.

what other things has she done or said? is she considered radically right-wing a la Fox News, slightly less crazy but still conservative, or just bat-shit crazy?

i'm curious to learn more (i don't know why, but i am lol) and i'd go to her website, but i don't want to give her site an extra visitor count :P.

3. After her internment book, a good many conservatives distanced themselves from her

But she does have a following, no doubt.

[vaberella]

4. She's seen as bat-shit crazy.

She's really nuts. She did defend internment camps. She claimed on Tweety's show, Hardball, that John Kerry was never injured in Vietnam and he faked it. That caused her to get her arse reamed.

She at times sits in for Bill O'Rielly on his show. She's said and done many outlandish things in the past. The only time I agreed with her was when Rosie O'Donnell made this, "ching-chong" joke about how Chinese people sound...a straight out racist remark and she being of East Asian descent basically mocked RO. I didn't blame her for that.

read her articles at hotair.com, I think, you'll read a lot more shit from her.

[Forkboy]

5. She's a dank tuft of rectal pubic hair.

That's all you need to know. :)

[zbdent]

6. it's too bad that she didn't personally experience the internment camps ...

I'm sure that when they were thrown in there, the people who put them in there weren't too discriminating as to whether or not you were of Japanese or Filipino descent ... and how she would have "liked" having her life's savings, work, and dignity just co-opted by someone else, and the "not talked about at that time" rapes and sexual abuse that probably occurred ...

and then see if she defended it ...

of course, whenever it's a "discussion" about FDR on Faux, then suddenly, it's considered the horrendous crime ... they have selective outrage ...

[Prometheus Bound]

7. For the record, she's not Filipino.

Born in Philly, raised in New Jersey.

[islandgirl808]

8. actually she is...

her ethnicity is Filipino and her nationality is American (Asian-American).

[Prometheus Bound]

17. Then she's an American.

When people want to make their heritage clear they would say Filipino American or of Filipino heritage or the like. Otherwise they call themselves Americans.

Don't try to blame that witch on the Philippines by calling her a Filipino. She's a unique creation of America.

[JonLP24]

13. That doesn't prove she isn't Filipino

I know a Filipino raised in Gary, Indiana.

[Prometheus Bound]

15. Was that "Filipino" born in the US?

I can find loads of links on the net that prove she is American. Can you find one that proves she's not?

[islandgirl808]

18. Yes, she is an American

but her ethnicity (i.e. race) is Filipino.

[JonLP24]

20. I and the OP was talking about 'ethnicity'

I don't know where my friend was born but since he served in the Army he probaly was born in the US. And he called himself a filipino. For examle of what I'm talking about, you can be full-blooded Mexican descent but be born here in the US. For another example of what I'm talking about, I'm white.

[Taverner]

9. She also likes to pose with Neo-Nazis

See below:

[burning rain]

23. Her immigration views (especially) make her an honorary Aryan...

so she makes white supremacist guys feel comfortable indulging a guilty pleasure. Her appeal on the right is overwhelmingly to guys; like Coulter's largely psychosexual (though age has brushed Mad Ann with its withering hand and her stock is bound to fall). Unhealthy sexuality and hardline conservatism go gland in hand.

[Taverner]

25. Gland in hand! I love it!!!

May I appropriate that later?

[burning rain]

28. Of course!

You're most welcome to do so.

[islandgirl808]

26. lolz

i wonder if she has looked in the mirror hmmmm

her parents were immigrants too (legal, but still...)

[burning rain]

29. Malkin understands her niche appeal very well.

She gives David Duke a thrill up his third leg!

[Orsino]

10. Empty-headed fascist pin-up.

It pays reasonably well. Need there be any other motivation to consider?

[grassfed]

11. she's married to sadistic svengali Jesse Malkin

Michelle is married to one Jesse Malkin – who some claim plays the puppeteer to her marionette and is a "stay-at-home dad" – likely to her chagrin. This may explain her plea for a "man" that can say "No."

Jesse Malkin is also known as a right-wing fanatic and has been such since his college days – also at Oberlin. One has to chuckle at Michelle's bio in Wikipedia – where it claims that she is married to Jesse Malkin, an "economist" at the Rand Corporation. Malkin, it appears, is not an economist at the Rand Corporation – but was once an associate where he specialized in delving into (hamstringing) health care for veterans and the aged. What he's doing at home with his children is your guess – but heck, it's better than sitting around in Santa Monica waiting in vain for the fog to clear.

There are others who posit that Jesse Malkin writes most if not all of Michelle's copy and that she only handles "on-air" appearances. No one will ever know for certain until the divorce papers are leaked to the public, but one thing is for sure: Malkin believes she is the Paris Hilton of Neocons, and loves the tube exposure.

16. oh wow, that explains a lot

thanks

does she also have ties to white supremacists too? i remember reading an article on HuffPo, but i can't remember if they were talking about her or someone else.

[Sheets of Easter]

12. She is mentally ill, with respect to all those who deal with mental illness.

Anyone who sees some secret pro-Palestinian propaganda in a Dunkin Donuts ad is a few pawns short of a chess game.

[davidpdx]

27. Mentally ill and dangerous

she should be locked up in a padded cell with handcuff and legirons and a nice big gag in her mouth. That and not fed for 30 days, then she can maybe change her claim about being for internment of anyone.

[lame54]

14. Here's her greatest hits...

[11 Bravo]

19. She's an anchor baby who has made a career out of railing against immigrants.

Like many Repukes, she is the poster child for "HYPOCRISY".

[WorseBeforeBetter]

21. What's the difference between 'radically right-wing a la Fox News' and 'bat-shit crazy'? (n/t)

[ismnotwasm]

22. Angry opportunist

She used to write for a major paper up here in the Northwest. I'm sorry she Sorry she went national-- she gets far too much attention, for very little talent-- but it's easier for me to ignore her.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

30. She is living proof

that somewhere, a pole is missing its stripper, much as Crawford was missing its idiot for most of the last eight years.
