Anything posted by a liberal (and a liberal is anyone the extreme lunatic right labels as a liberal) is hate speech by definition. regardless of the actual content. Conversely, anything posted by the extreme lunatic right, however incendiary and hatemongering it may appear, is not hate speech - it's standing up for America and traditional mainstream values. You see, Maha, you are led astray by your reality-centric view of the world. Leave the reality-based community and all will become clear. (Hint to Randy: this is called sarcasm) Perhaps this will clear up the confusion.

As I blogged here, a number of rightie bloggers immediately jumped to the conclusion that the student was a “liberal” (in fact, the news story didn’t say what the student’s political views) and predicted that liberals would jump to the defense of the accused student’s free speech rights, because that’s what liberals “always” do.

He may not be a political guy at all. As Mahablog responds to a right-winger, “Hey, buddy, welcome to my world! Do you really think “your” side doesn’t send threats and obscenities to us?” The point is Buddhi episode is an excuse for the folks on the right to make merry and rejoice, by unnecessarily pulling the left into the discourse.

Malkin was counting on that when she published the names/phone numbers of the students. Never mind that someone who saw those numbers might not have stopped at mere harassment. Someone might have been unglued enough to track the students down and do them physical harm, which is why what Malkin did was unforgivably irresponsible. One of those people with bad judgment and poor impulse control created a graphic displaying a photo of her house, plus her home address and phone number. And someone -- I believe it was the same person -- tried twice to post the graphic in the comments here. I deleted it both times; I don't stoop to Malkin's level. I'm not aware of blogger on my blogroll who posted it, either. However, Malkin is the highest-ranking right-wing blogger on the Internets, not some nobody trying to slip something naughty into blog comments. Big difference. Malkin is now whining her head off about how SHE is a victim, even though she hasn't removed the phone numbers of the students. In other words, she feels entitled to do to others what she doesn't want done to herself. <a href="http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/2006/04/radio-rmalkin.html">Dave Neiwert has Malkin's number.</a> Emma, thou twit: The reason publishing addresses and phone numbers on the Internets is a no-no is that there are some people all along the political spectrum with bad judgment and poor impulse control who will use this information in an irresponsible manner.

Dave Neiwert has Malkin’s number.

Does this person offer any proof that the guy making the threats is a liberal?The last faux (s)nooze poll I saw, bush only had a 37% approval rating,,, and seven generals, all of whom are republican step out last week,,is it so far out to consider it could be a rightie? They do love to lynch Mob,(insert your own example here)they do love to make threats(see yesterdays circus),and bush has let them down the most.. THEY were the only ones not able to spot bush for what he is,, How shocking it must be to see the light...If I woke up after having being duped by bush, I would be a might mad. Another thing makes me wonder,which is it? I thought the reps said liberals were against war because we were chickens, I thought the reps said all liberals were peace loving hippy's ,, now all of the sudden the right changed it and now we are all the type to make death threats? Which is it? Are we yellow france lovers or are you painting us all as a threat to your dear leader? We can't be both, you HAVE to make up your mind I cannot imagine a single “liberal” that would ever harm to come to bush,, thus making dick-I -can’t -shoot- straight-cheney president…holy crap the thought will give me nightmares tonight.And I am not alone here,,he has like a 18% approval rating? ,, yikes!
