Martyr Complex

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Boo hoo:
It has been 10 days since I first posted on Cindy Sheehan, and after sticking my neck out and taking massive amounts of ongoing abuse and ridicule for giving her the scrutiny she deserves, I am more than happy to let others pick up the slack.
As I have noted repeatedly, I am appalled by those on the "left" who engage in actual attacks on Michelle Malkin's gender or ethnicity. But that doesn't mean that all attacks on Malkin - even those which take on an ad hominem nature - are automatically racist or sexist. Malkin is guilty, guilty, guilty of that conflation.

Malkin(s) hates political correctness, or so (they) claim...but will go to any lengths to convince us that the existence of some examples of racism and sexism on the left means that all criticisms of a minority female are null and void.

The Malkins' attacks on Cindy Sheehan have been vicious, unrelenting, early and often. For a good counterpoint - with plenty of juicy ad hominem, none of it racist - you should read Mykeru thoroughly.
