Remember, you can't spell the word DUMB without DU in it.
Ping.
And your point is..??????

Michelle Malkin linked to a thuggish effort on the campus of UC Santa Cruz to push military recruiters off campus through physical intimidation last week. Their attempt worked, but now the organizers of this effort have cried foul over Michelle's decision to post their contact information from their own press release on her blog. As usual, the idiots who cannot read a press release blame Michelle for revealing their private numbers and have started the usual racist and sexist insults and threats against her. (None of them are terribly original, and some of them hurl epithets referencing Chinese ethnicity, apparently believing all Asians must be alike.)
Even better, leading MS-NBC nutcase Keith Olbermann picked the day when a suicide bomber killed nine people at a falafel stand to choose Michelle as his World's Worst Person of the Day -- for reprinting the information organizers proudly publicized themselves. Even the Daily Kos crowd figured that much out.
The Washington Post appears to have merely scratched the surface ...
UPDATE: For those who want to excoriate Michelle for taking advantage of those poor inexperienced college students, I hope they save some of their vitriol for the "wingnuts" at Indymedia, Indymedia again, Infoshop News, and the Oread Daily. All of these posted the same information to the same Internet as did Michelle Malkin, and they did it for the same reason those poor benighted students did -- to encourage more protofascists to physically intimidate those military recruiters with enough chutzpah to offer a career choice to college students.
UPDATE: Michelle posts that none of the three whose names and contact numbers were in the press release has e-mailed any request to her to remove the information from her website (in an update to her post, linked above). So much for "asking her politely". And the info is still up on the websites linked above.

There's no small degree of irony in this story - the same "violent mob" of Students Against War who chased military recruiters from the UC Santa Cruz campas last week are now crying foul because Michelle Malkin has published their press release, complete with contact information of the organizers. UPDATE: SAW has removed the contact information from its press release and is now lying about the fact that it made the info publicly available on the Internet. I am leaving it up. If you are contacting them, I do not condone death threats or foul language. As for SAW, my message is this: You are responsible for your individual actions. Other individuals are responsible for theirs. Grow up and take responsibility. Comments (16)

In his discussion of the Michelle Malkin-SAW contact information kerfuffle, Dan Riehl makes a point that I wanted to address separately
Ezra Klein takes a similar tack, albeit from the left, in his post on the issue:
Ping.
well-wishers of Michelle can always send their best regards ... and flowers (like Helen Thomas received from demos after grilling Bush)
UGH- this vision is enough to make one limp for a month.
She is one brave woman. They've a got a picture of her house and maps to show its exact location. This is truly frightening. I hope she's armed to the teeth.
He's a troll. He's been picking fights all day.
They could have just asked me for her number.......
lol
DU'ers are hateful lots. Just like a Kentucky University over here had some crosses against abortion put up and a Professor went with her students and ripped them out of the ground. She claimed free speech. She has about 3 months to retire she has been suspended.
To a lefty it is only Free Speech when you agree with them.
P-O-W-E-R-L-E-S-S Marxists doing infantile things to try to assuage their impotence...
Pathetic.
You can hear it in pubic as well, regardless of the setting and you just know you just seen a real live DUmmy!

HAHAHAH! I would simply LOVE For some of these "brave" individuals to go over there and try a little physical intimidation with Ms. Malkin. Dime to a dollar, she'd have a .357 snub nose magnum parked up their royal American before you can say "conservative blog".
You have to click on her link to see the actual emails that she published.

Thanks. I just cut and pasted the whole page and emailed it to her so now there is a record of it even if they try to scrub it from their site.
I think they just want to know where Michelle is so they can ask her for a date. The problem is she has things they will never have: a spouse, brains, looks, soap, etc.
PING!
They're Nazis. Totalitarians. Of course they want to intimidate other people. They can't win an argument any other way. To put it simply, they suck. They shouldn't be in this country, with what little respect they have for freedom.
