I have onoccasion referred to Michelle Malkin as the "Asian Ann Coulter" - a phrase which may annoy her but at least is vaguely descriptive and lacking in pejorative terms (unless you consider Ann Coulter to be an insult). But then I'm a warmongering right-wing chickenhawk not a caring liberal. If you are a caring liberal then your prefered references to philipine ancestry Mrs Malkin start with renaming her Mangalangangbang or Mangalandingdong and go steadily downhill from there. She repeats some of them on her own blog as she explains why she doesn't generally accept comments.
I can't help wondering what the Politically Correct crowd would say if someone were to start saying that (for example) Philipine President Gloria Arroyo is as yellow inside as she is outside or refering to former Indonesian leader Megawati Sukarnoputri as Maggot Sucking Putrid. Yet apparently, just as we saw with Dr Rice, its OK to use racist and sexist language on people who have conservative views.
There are a group of left-wingers with whom I disagree in places and agree in others, such as Johann Hari or Peter Tatchell or some of thr feminists on my blogroll, there are others who sicken me. Mrs Malkin's critics belong firmly in the second camp along with Messrs Fisk, Pilger and Rall. I dislike strident right-wingers, especially those that I perceive to be hypocritical buffoons like Rush Limberg or Bill O'Reilly, but I can't help compare the way that these two were taken apart from all sides for perceived racist or sexist comments with the way that no one in the entire comment thread seems willing to deplore the comments on Michelle Malkin.
