I believe I read this story on FR yesterday. Could be wrong.

He’s just pissed that Michelle would dare give attention to the crimes of pro-illegal thugs. This post of his is really quite shameless about it. Reporting a white-on-white beating? Fine. white-on-latino? Fine. latino-on-white? You’re a racist for mentioning it... Nevermind that plenty of other conservative political commentators have already covered this. I guess he doesn’t realize a columnist’s job is to selectively report what they feel is important.

Are these crimes punishable under the Federal Violence Against Women Act? Even though it is female violence against a female?

“Michelle is looking for one thing and that is green, and, IMO, she gets her green from people like you, while she writes her selective and politically tinged articles, with ethnic overtones, while ignoring the real problem that strides all ethnicities and that is teen violence. “

Nonsense. Michelle points out the double standard of MSM applies to hate crimes. When a white commits a hate crime against a black, e. g. Imus, all hell breaks loose in the media. When a minority commits a hate crime against a white, the MSM is muted if the incident is reported at all.

Not to mention the frequency of black on white crime is far greater than white on black. Unless you studied crime statistics, you wouldn’t know that.

Dane likes the abuse he sends his own way. He has been one of the biggest libs on FR for many years.

That’s a good question, I don’t know. The Sheriff brought up on TV that since the victim tried to leave and they restrained her, they are being charged with imprisonment which is something like kidnapping. That makes it more serious than if they just beat her up and let her leave. Regardless, these 8 little sluts won’t get half what they deserve. Unless they already have a violent record...

Finally ran across an article by Michelle about what got his ire up. From an article within the thread:

Texas student attacked for her anti-illegal immigration homework (mega barf alert) (4/8/08)

An Athens Middle School student is alleging she was attacked and beaten last week by 21 fellow students in response to a project for her history class regarding illegal immigration.

Students were asked to create “protest signs” dealing with a past issue and a current one by history teacher Janet Skelton.

According to Bowers’ father, J.R. Bowers, Melanie was attacked in a hallway by a group of students on Friday because of the political message contained on the poster. Mr. Bowers said the attackers slammed her head into a brick wall and scraped her face down the side of the wall. The girl’s grandmother, Layne Wilhoite, told the Athens Review in a statement sent Monday that the group attempted to drag Melanie into a restroom and threatened to “rape and kill” her.

So apparently engaging in a class assignment to engage in civil protest is equal to talking trash on myspace.

Michelle, IMO, is ignoring this story and the problem of teen violence in general, while highlighting the similar story in Texas, for her politically crass and greedy purposes.

"When you see your daughter, who's not striking back to defend herself, and someone keeps coming at you like that -- it's just, it's a horrible thing," added Talisa Lindsay, the victim's mother."

Didn't the mother or father of this child ever teach her how to defend herself? My daughter is 10 years old this year. As she grows into her teens, I plan to teach her that she has the right to defend herself in such situations.

And I'll teach her to fight dirty.

Envy is not an attractive trait, Dane...some wonder if you've taken an unhealthy interest in Michelle Malkin.

At least I can go to bed at night knowing that I am being intellectually honest when reporting on the problems of teen violence, unlike michelle who selectively picks her outrage for greed and crass political reasons.

“So, OK, the Attorney General says there is too much violence on T.V. and that should stop. But even if you took out all the violent shows, you could still see the news. So, until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there’s no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value. Thank you”

No flames from me. If I saw my daughter being treated like that the law would be the least of the kid’s worries.
