There is a lot of truth in what Michelle states! You put the woman down because you cannot debate her honestly. Our prisons are currently filled with illegals, mostly Mexican and Central American. You can easily do some checking!

I've lived in Los Angeles all my life and due to the recent influx of illegals, I'm sad to say, our city *is* going down the toilet. There is no disputing it. Parts of Los Angeles look like a Tijuana barrio. Basically, a third world cesspool! The neighborhoods are riddled with gangs, drugs, crime, graffiti, pregnant teenage girls, broken families, and so on and so forth.

This past Monday, there was a shootout in East LA, just a couple blocks from where I work. Some stupid idiota high on meth got shot full of lead by the LA Sheriffs and guess what, I applaud them for taking him out. He had been holding his girlfriend hostage for four days while on a drug binge. When she escaped, she called for help. Unfortunately for this pathetic ass, he made the mistake of firing at the Sheriffs. Pendejo got what he deserved, as there was an elementary school not a block away. He could have easily struck and killed child.

From reading what little I have on this site, you strike me as the type who would seek to defend an individual such as this for the sole reason that he was Mexican. Newsflash: Mexicans, most of them Illegals *DO* contribute in large part to the current social problems plaguing our communities. Gangs are a very real problem. Brown on brown crime is a very real problem. Racism is a very real problem, just look at the race riots (black v brown) in our schools.

Instead of bemoaning injustices suffered by Mexicans and Illegals in this country, why not have them stay put and fight for their country. Mexicans need to rid themselves of all those corrupt government cockroaches who keep them hungry, illiterate and poor. As of today, there is very little to be proud of in Mejico. So please do us a favor and don't give me the Brown Power, Viva La Raza, our land was stolen garbage! That line of thinking is childish and extremely unproductive.

You and I speak a different language.

Please don't come here and be hostile. You don't know me, and it is not true that you can anticipate what I will say in response. I did not try to engage her arguments, so how could you know I can not?

Ultimately, I have nothing to say to you because I do not agree with the basic parameters of your reality; the presuppositions in your line of reasoning.

Adios, proud American.

How would Malkin have felt if the perpetrator had not been illegal? (She seems to excuse a lot of other crimes.)

And what is the deal with her anyway - why does she seem to be so famous? (This question may reveal my semi-illiteracy in media and pop culture.)

11.10.06 - 6:29 pm

Hmmm. Her deal is that she is a tool and a token for the Right. That's the Why. The How is made of two things. One, she is a pretty, energetic, and angry woman—or "charismatic." The other part of the How is that she is Brown, so the Right-wing racist agendas that inform her "Reasoning" have more creedence with the populace. Her self-loathing both legitimizes the loathing which the white racists feel for those with her coloring, and as a token Right Wing Brownie, she is well loved because her affiliation allows her teammates to say "hey! we're not racist! Michelle Malkin is a big voice of our'n, for cryin' out loud!"

It all adds up to make her some type of B-grade villain bigmouth pundit type celebrity. Lock up the Japs, Smack down the Mex...if you look over her arc, you can draw the conclusions. I understand what the White Lens can do to your brain when you get it stuck in your eye. Racism and internal colonization are tricky animals. So in a way, I forgive her. It's still sad to watch. And the harm that she does by spewing so much vitriol is not sad, but wretched.

Fed up, what did the killer's nationality (or immigation status) have to do with the crime? Nada.

---------
The problem with Malkin is that she's fishing for evidence to support her premise that "immigration is bad," therefore "immigrants are bad." Had the killer not been an illegal, she wouldn't even have written on the death of someone she barely knew.

---------
Of course more "illegals" end up in jail than other segments of the population. Poor folks generally do, and it wasn't so long ago that the Mexican-Americans were disproportionatly jailed (and still are, for that matter). As are African-Americans. And, there's just the demographic fact that violent crimes tend to be comitted by men between the ages of 16 and 30... and the native-born population is dropping, so the workers and younger men in a lot of U.S. cities are immigrants.

--------------
I know it's almost a cliche now, but poverty really does cause crime. Start working on getting people decent wages and two things might happen... first, native born workers might fill SOME of the crappy jobs now done by "illegal" immigrants and ... secondly, you're gonna get a better class of illegals.

--- Better yet, the U.S. could buy their imported consumer goods from Mexico (their democratic NAFTA partner with labor unions) instead of their good friend, the Chinese, with no labor or human rights record worth speaking about. ----- Or, a very radical suggestion, work to cut agricultural subsidies (including the corporate subsidies U.S. [actually off-shore] agri-business corporations enjoy that keep Mexican farmers from competing, and force them to abandon their farms and try their luck on this side of the border.

--------------
BTW, does anyone else find it weird that Michelle Malkin is a so=called "anchor baby"? Her parents were here on a student visa, and only got to stay because little Michelle was born in the U.S.A.

11.10.06 - 9:10 pm

Richard. That's why I like you showin up at the house parties. Because you like doin' that Fred Astaire shit, and you do it well.

Isn't that some funny junk about Michelle, man? Anchor baby wanna cutta rope! Wah!

Reminds me of certain undercover gay zealous anti-gay republicans....or the boy-lusting anti-sex-predator fella recently tossed to the curb after certain IMs came to light. it's more than just unresolvable hypocrisy. It's fucking neurotic. Maher nailed it nicely recently on Larry King's now-scrubbed interview, where he brought up Mehlman's gayness and juxtaposed it with the GOP's anti-gay crusades, and finally, funnily ended with the alleged GOP belief that "Self-Hate is the Greatest Love of All."

It's a very slinky and dangerous thing, this misdirected emotion and lack of awareness blended and unresolved into some festering, distorted, sublimated and insatiable hate. A simple truth is that we are always projecting our inner world upon the outer one. So it's really not tough to see what's going on inside people if you remember that.

One day Michelle is going to understand the truth of this. And I imagine that if she is lucky enough to reach such revelation, it will be a most embarrassing day, indeed. Especially in the new, brave, widely-cached world that we live in today.

Very interesting. And anchor baby, that is hilarious!

11.11.06 - 7:59 am

Poor michelle malkin, she has a bad case of stockholm syndrome, identify with the enemy so he can protect you, the sad reality is that she will never be like "them" and she will never understand that.

I wonder what it feels like to be a "tool".

Fed up in East los is drinking the kool-aid, I'm just saying.

11.12.06 - 3:12 pm

I hope she does understand it one day, tho....for her sake.

heh. i guess it depends what kind of tool.

no doubt about the kool aid. You can almost hear the slurpy slurpy.

Malkin will realize it the hard way when her white, Neo-con husband dumps her for the white American woman. Everyday, Malkin has to wake up and go through the day knowing that her marriage to her husband is doing HER a favor and not the other way around just like her "anchor baby" status was a favor for her and not the other way around. She has two kids who the "good" half is fostered and tailored for the best while "her" half is suppressed.

She projects this lack of self-worth on others in a pathetic attempt to draw attention away from her own short comings. A brown woman spends most of her blogs bandwidth pointing out the "evils" of brown people. Hate the Muslims, hate the Mexicans and of course, hate the Liberals (especially the black and brown ones). She fancies herself as a white person with a white agenda but in actuality, she's a token and a joke to both sides and both sides laugh at her equally as much.

She married some rich, smart guy and became his anchor baby. He "turned her out" by giving her a blog and a pricetag and let her prostitute his agenda. In return, she can commit to her projecting of self-hatred against people with the same skin color all she wants as long as she maintains her pimp's agenda. That's Malkin! That's her life and her destiny...born and anchor baby and will die an anchor baby. Quite sad if you think about it.

Hi Syntax, thanks for commenting.

Yes...if Michelle Malkin feels that her marriage to a White Neocon is doing HER a favor, you are right: the joke's on her.

You bring up a good point. I hadn't known about her children. But being a child who had the Brown part of him "suppressed," I feel for these kids who will undoubtedbly be quite confused even in a way I couldn't know about.

Thanks for dropping info that I hadn't had...about her family and life. And you're right, I already saw her as a token and a (sad) joke. Knowing all this makes it even clearer. And sadder.

I can only hope for her own sake (and the world's, as her voice carries so far) that she is dumped, as you say—if it will wake her up to the truth of things. It's very exciting for me to think about a Malkin who has seen the light....and what she would sound like then.
