Malkin's Portsmouth "Plant"

wait a minute (0.00 / 0)

there was a Republican present who drove in from Maine - he asked a question.

I'm guessing Malkin  didn't say a word about the kids outside holding signs on behalf of their angry white relatives.

Michelle Malkin is beneath contempt.

she's so obnoxious (4.00 / 3)

Malkin is so obnoxious, she got fired from her gig as a substitute host on FoxNews because Bill O'Reilley thought she was too strident.

Denouncing a 5th grader for being the daughter of an Obama delegate is pretty low.

Republicans are groupists. Their behavior is not self-directed-- (0.00 / 0)

i.e. every action is carried out on someone else's direction.  Especially every action that's in any way positive.  "Personal responsibility" is the phrase reserved for negative consequences--i.e. when a youth commits a crime, that's the personal responsibility of his/her parents who failed to provide appropriate direction.

There really is only one commandment in their universe--obedience.  Those who obey are good; those who are self-directed (selfish) are bad.  Moral behavior is whatever the group demands.  

These are people who have traded free will for being right.

Michelle Malkin (4.00 / 1)

is herself a plant. A hybrid combining the worst of poison ivy and Amorphophallus titanum.  (see http://laist.com/2009/06/10/ma... )

Typically lowbrow conservative behavior (4.00 / 4)

to pick on a kid who was demonstrating her understanding of citizenship by asking a polite question of the President of the United States.

I am imagining if the same little girl was to have asked a similar question of a white Republican president, say a year ago, it would have not even made the news.

Shame on these jerks for discouraging a child to participate as a citizen of the United States.

It's nothing short of bullying.

But it's OK with these thugs if a kid is standing outside alongside signs containing racial slurs, lies, and obscenities.

That is also child abuse.

The target is the parents (4.00 / 1)

And by extension, other parents.

Parents may be the target, (4.00 / 2)

but the kids also read and hear these things first- or secondhand and become victims of this kind of bullying behavior even if they are not the "intended target", thus becoming collateral damage. This kind of thing will stick with a child for a lifetime (although in this case it's likely a young Democrat will be created in the process, if there can be a silver lining here).

And, other children pick up this crap from their parents and given the opportunity will use it on the victim when the adults are not around; in school, on the playground, or on Facebook or MySpace (number one source of school-age bullying complaints). If you think the adults are capable of meanness, you ought to see what middle-school age kids are capable of...

A part of me... (4.00 / 1)

... would like to see this little girl debate Malkin on health care.

They're both the same developmental age, after all.
