Just in case anyone was inclined to buy into the lame rationale that Limbaugh, Coulter, O’Reilly or Malkin use to justify their words and behavior by claiming they can’t control what people do in response to their hateful, murderous rhetoric then I suggest you read this.

“In Rwanda,” Gowing writes, “hate radio … systematically laid the groundwork for mass slaughter from the moment it was licensed in July 1993.” It also helped facilitate the genocide, as RTLM broadcast names, addresses and license plate numbers of Tutsi targets. “Killers often carried a machete in one hand and a transistor radio in the other,” according to Power.

Now consider what Michelle Malkin did with her blog recently.

From DailyKos, read this entry in its entirety.

After receiving death threats from these 101st Fighting Keyboarders, the SAW students politely asked Malkin to remove the contact information from her site. Malkin refused. Indeed, she republished the contact info. And this is where her actions turn from mean-spirited to downright sick.

By reposting the contact information knowing full well she was to elicit death threats and attack, Malkin is condoning the actions of her readers. Of course, scared Michelle posts a “disclaimer,”, skirting any responsibility for the actions of her attack dogs. But if she knows the threats are coming from her readers, such a disclaimer has a wink, wink, don’t do it effect. If she truly does not condone death threats and foul language, she should oblige the SAW students and remove the information from her blog.

OK, if this were an episode of Law and Order and one of these mouth-breathers actually managed to assault or kill one of these students ADA Jack McCoy would have the Detectives out arresting Malkin for murder, but alas, this is the flesh and blood world where Brooks Brothers rioters who shut down vote counting to stop an election wind up rewarded with senior staff positions at the Bush White House and out of control hate-filled screed mongers like Malkin get all the prime time talking-head jobs they can handle.
