I really haven't gotten any because of this blog. Some folks don't agree with me and tell me so, but they haven't been ugly about it. I've also been lucky in that I've been able to keep comments open without getting any Trolls or off-topic posts.
Not so for Michelle Malkin. Check out her post MINORITY CONSERVATIVES AND THE SELLOUT SMEAR from yesterday. I'll post a couple of the more tame examples of hate e-mails she gets (check out the post for a more complete list):
Surely you are a big put-on. Did some minor Republican operative purchase a mail-order bride and train her to do this?
***
Proverbs 69:69 counsels: "Like a whore who infects those she sleeps with, so doth the ultra-republican faux columnist infect her readers with lies." While you are looking in the mirror, cursing the Left because you weren't born blond, think about the above. Amen.

Is is such a shame that you look like a Filipino- because your thinking, writing (if you can call that) is a disgrace to any member of the Asian community. Someday, when you are no longer motivated by greed, and when you are closer to your next life stage, you will realized what a horrible sellout you are.
***
You're a filthy whore.
I sent her an email of encouragement. Maybe if everyone who reads her blog/column/books sent her an encouraging email it would conteract the avalanche of hate she gets on a regular basis. Michelle's email: malkin"at"comcast.net (sorry for not making it a link, but we must keep the Trolls at bay...)
In my email to Michelle I told her that I thought the hate e-mailers were showing more of their own self hatred and self loathing than anything she or anyone else says or does. I really believe that.
That's some "big tent" they have over on the left...If you are a conservative female - you are a whore... If you are a conservative Asian - you are a sell out... If you are publicly and overtly religious - you are an idiot to be mocked and scorned... Freedom of ideas, Freedom from persecution, Freedom of Speech? Sadly lacking on the left, if you differ from their idealogy.
I stumbled on Michelle's blog the day she posted that. I also sent her an email about my shock and encouraging her.
And complimenting her for first-class work year after year. I can't appologize for the low lives (sp?) that do such.
I am new to your blog from Matt Rosenbergs' link. Gook work.

"If you are a conservative female - you are a whore..."
