Graeme Frost: What Would You Do If This Was Snooping Around Your House? (Updated)

The wingnuts have been in full force attack against the family of Graeme Frost, the twelve year old boy that gave the Democratic radio address a couple of weeks ago. In their typical ignorance of the facts, Malkin and the rest on the right side of the blogosphere are trying to paint this family as phonies. Think Progress has noted the important facts the attack monsters are forgetting.
So what would you do if you saw that face snooping around your house? That might be a good question for the Frost's:
Update 2:50pm Eastern: I (Malkin) just returned from a visit to Frost’s commercial property near Patterson Park in Baltimore. It’s a modest place. Talked to one of the tenants, Mike Reilly, who is a talented welder. He said he had known the Frosts for 10 years. Business is good, he told me, though he characterized Frost as “struggling.” Reilly was an outspoken advocate for socialized health care without any means-testing whatsoever and an insistent critic of the Iraq war. Despite all that, he did agree with me that going without health insurance is often a matter of choice and a matter of priorities. Or maybe we were speaking two different languages.
I also passed by the Frosts’ rowhouse. There was an “01 - 20 -09″ bumper sticker plastered on the door and a newer model GMC Suburban parked directly in front of the house. I’ve seen guesstimates of the house’s worth in the $400,000-plus range. Those are high. But Mark Tapscott’s point remains: “[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance. The Maryland-administered version of the federal SCHIP program, by the way, does not impose an asset test on applicants.”
Now isn't this the same Malkin who has complained about hate mail and threats? Ironically she did this on the same day that Free Republic decided to post the Frost's' home address. Of course this is also the same Malkin who tries to act like she is concerned about children. Well we see how much she really "cares" now.
John Amato:
This is just sick, but not surprising coming from her. On 04/17/06---I broke the story that she posted the phone numbers of some UC Santa Cruz students over the issue of military recruitment on campus and they received a ton of death threats as a result. A few right wing bloggers were so appalled that they de-linked her.
She endangered the life of Jamil Hussein, when she tried to discredit this AP report. The AP then responded: "AP executive editor rips into bloggers who have now endangered Jamil Hussein's life."
Not to mention that she posted Cindy Sheehan's divorce records to smear her...more reactions to that here.
Digby has more:
This is so loathsome I am literally sick to my stomach. These kids were hurt in a car accident. Their parents could not afford health insurance --- and sure as hell couldn't get it now with a severely handicapped daughter. And these shrieking wingnut jackasses are harassing their family for publicly supporting the program that allowed the kids to get health care. A program, by the way, which a large number of these Republicans support as well.
They went after Michael J. Fox. They went after a wounded Iraq war veteran. Now they are going after handicapped kids. There is obviously no limit to how low these people will go...read on
UPDATE (below the fold):
According to this report on ABC, apparently Malkin isn't the only one bothering the Frost family:
According to Senate Democratic aides, some bloggers have made repeated phone calls to the home of 12-year-old Graeme Frost, demanding information about his family's private life. On Monday, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accused GOP leadership aides of "pushing falsehood" in an effort to distract from the political battle over S-CHIP.
Even worse, it looks like GOP aides may have aided the wingnut attack machine in this:
Manley cited an e-mail sent to reporters by a Senate Republican leadership aide, summing up recent blog traffic about the boy's family. A spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., declined to comment on Manley's charge that GOP aides were complicit in spreading disparaging information about Frosts.
John Cole also reminds us of another time when Malkin was complaining that "lefties" were invading her privacy.

Get your "Fox Blocker" today and boycott this disgustingly warped channel.
This is the last straw. Malkin should have her press passes revoked and be out looking for a real job.
If I saw that face on my property I would call the police and have her ass removed. The family should sue her ass for harassment.
No, these people have no shame and no heart either. How the hell do they have time for this foolishness? This is the same mentality that got us into this war. They have no feelings for anyone but themselves. They seem to be obsessed with a gotcha complex.
Lady Karma can be a bitch and I'm guessing she has her eye on such people who feel it's their duty to bring harm and sadness to others.

Yet again, reich-wingers prove to be completely deluded, deranged, and lacking of facts.
So where does she work & live? What about her marital / driving records? What does she drive? Bra size? Time to fight back, and fight hard..
and yet ...people still listen to them........theres something terribly wrong when people can't tell the difference between honesty and distorted BS lies....she truly has a black heart.
Somebody call Animal Control -- there's a rabid bitch loose in 'hood!
Imagine how my stomach turned when opened up Crooks and Liars and there was the mug of that bitch staring at me.
Yes Indeed. This is very sick. But the corporations will do ANYTHING to protect their interests. And the Republicans only work for one master, and that's Big Bizz!
Make no mistake, before we get Universal Health Care, you will see many more repeats like this one.
America is sick in many ways, a lack of universal health care insurance is just one of them.
After I read the article I am about ready to puke. Well it will just make the election that much easier to win.
Here are the facts that the right-wing distorted in order to attack young Graeme:
1) Graeme has a scholarship to a private school. The school costs $15K a year, but the family only pays $500 a year.
2) His sister Gemma attends another private school to help her with the brain injuries that occurred due to her accident. The school costs $23,000 a year, but the state pays the entire cost.
3) They bought their “lavish house” sixteen years ago for $55,000 at a time when the neighborhood was less than safe.
4) Last year, the Frost’s made $45,000 combined. Over the past few years they have made no more than $50,000 combined.
5) The state of Maryland has found them eligible to participate in the CHIP program.
You guys have him listed as Graeme Foster rather than Graeme Frost. That is confusing.
When, oh when, will the inevitable take place? When will Stalkin' Malkin (what else would you call what she did, snooping around the Foster home? "Tourism"?) get face-to-face with someone who is less than civil about her skulking about and her hypocrisy? It can't happen soon enough...
So the rite-wing idiots think the family should sell their house to cover their expenses? Yeah. That's brilliant. Just how many years go by before the family spends out that $400,000 on health care expenses and winds up without any resources, and then the family finds itself applying for even more public assistance? Are rite-wing idiots capable of thinking, say, one or two years down the road? Are rite-wing idiots capable of thinking at all?
This episode really ought to be a turning point in US politics. Going after a 12 year old? This ought to be a "Have you no decency, sir?" moment.
The only viable solution in healthcare is to get the insurance companies out who take 50% of the costs and treat no one.
Would it be wrong to refer to Michelle as "Pacific Rimjob"?
I had the same gut reaction, Capt Kangaroo. We just can't understand this type of dirty and mean action. It's just not in us to be that way so it turns our stomach when we see people who are.
Ok, i am from Baltimore. I can tell you that ten years ago the houses around Patterson Park were not worth all that much. The price of housing in Baltimore has skyrocketed due to land speculation and an illegal practice called "flipping" in which properties are bought renovated and sold to other corporations to inflate the price.
In any event a mere look at a property near Patterson Park won't disclose its true value. The neighborhood can still be quite dangerous and borders one of the largest drug markets in the city.

Exactly!!
Fire with fire.
Yikes! This woman is making heavy deposits into the Universal Bank of Bad Karma.
Glad I'm not her.
Malkin says "I’ve seen guesstimates of the house’s worth in the $400,000-plus range. "
In the Think progress article the truth is this: "They bought their “lavish house” sixteen years ago for $55,000 at a time when the neighborhood was less than safe."
More facts as I read them.
Oh, and by the way. Parking is at a premium in that neighborhood. The chances of finding a parking place in the same block you live in is slim. In front of your own row house; nearly impossible.
Aren't there laws against stalking in Maryland?
Malkin should thank her god that she has never been where this family is and then shut the fu*k up.
What is wrong with this woman? The kid is 12! I hope they sue the crap out of her. What an idiot.

oh, I'm sorry, they only protect elite political appointees from being criticized by the citizens, not kids from being stalked, defamed and threatened by the GOP goon squad.

She's a hubcap from a '57 chevvy?
I'm guessing it's pretty hard to get private insurance to cover two children who are already suffering with injuries.
Malkin says: “[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance. The Maryland-administered version of the federal SCHIP program, by the way, does not impose an asset test on applicants.”
According to the Think Progress report: Last year, the Frost’s made $45,000 combined. Over the past few years they have made no more than $50,000 combined.
Is it the Republican attitude that they should have to sell their house and business to pay these horrible inflated medical bills so the we can send BILLIONS of $$$$ to Iraq so they can loot the treasury?
As Think Progress says: “Right wing bloggers have been harassing the Frosts, calling their home numerous times to get information about their private lives. Compassionate conservatism indeed.”
I would like to remind everyone that every member of Congress enjoys free health care.
Damned Commies!
Stunning. Just stunning. These people are evil, pure and simple. That skank....wow....I've got nothing...I mean how low can they go? Must. Not. Advocate. Violence.

I don't think it would be a good idea for malkin to work in any type of fishing-related industry. Her coworkers would keep throwing the net over her and try to gut her.
Hmmm, on second thought.....
This is EXACTLY what the SCHIP program is for. These trogladite Republicans have no heart. What the fuck is Malkin complaining about? What is her point? I sure hope O'Reilly jumps on this bandwagon. Then we will really have some fun.
Time to go home Imelda. We don't want you here.

anchor baby malkin is a despicable lowlife scumbag. If a liberal stalked a 12 year old like this, the reich-wing faux noise machine would blow a cumulative hissy fit.
Dirtypants @ 17:

I am confused. Malkin was snooping around the "Frost" home and business. Maybe she was snooping at the wrong place. Is this the same as stalking?
Bercebu48 @ 46:
She's definitely appealing to the drunken Subic Bay sailor that resides within every white conservative male.
Is there anything she could do that would make her ashamed of herself? What the hell business of hers is it if the family receives help for their kids? Was she this irate when that money went missing in Iraq? Is she this irate when a repub is caught taking bribes?
This really is an example of someone who needs to get a life and stay our of the lives of others.
Dr. Matt @ 16:
Republicans know the above. Checking isn't that hard.
It is shameful. Malkin and her cohorts know their "talking points" are lies or gross exaggerations, to be spread for repetition by the gullible. The end justifies the means.
They do this over and over. Illegal immigration "facts", Niger uranium "facts" and so on.
I've become very skeptical when a right winger or neocon tries to "enlighten" us with their "facts".
These people are just doing what the administration can't in public; they are going after anyone who is going to try to help put a human face on this crisis in Swift Boat and Valerie Blame fashion.
This allows the Administration to keep their hands clean while these pathetic water carriers do the dirty work for them. Talk about cowardly. Everything this administration does is behind the back cowardly muggings... now they go after kids to send a message to other families who are thinking about speaking out.
this is the worst kind of bullying!
Get used to it.
This is the new Murica'

“Business is good, he told me, though he characterized Frost as “struggling.”…. a newer model GMC Suburban parked directly in front of the house… it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance”.
The people are struggling. Health insurance for these fine folks would be about $25,000 a year what with the pre existing problems and all. They invested in a house 15 years ago (does she expect them to be homeless before they get on this program?), and he owns a shitty little business that barely pays the bills. He can probably barely pay the payment on the “newer model GMC Suburban”. And what does “a newer model GMC suburban” mean? Year 2000?
Again what does she want from these fine American people? What does this bitch expect?

Malkin is a certifiable socio-psychopath. Dangerous to herself and others. Mostly others. She should be forced into an intense psychiatric facility and treated at length for her dangerous anti-social behaviors. The ones who should be sued are Fox and Ailes for not having the brains, conscience or civility to stop giving her a endless platform to spew her hatred and disease on television.
Free Republic has gone completely overboard this time. They have the right to agree or disagree all they want, but to post a photo of the Frost family -- including their CHILDREN, their home address, the address of their kids' school, and pictures of the kids' school... They're practically BEGGING for something horrible to happen to this family. This isn't shameless, as far as I'm concerned. This is CRIMINAL.
Why do you people waste your time watching and commenting on Fox?
I need a shower...and an enema. Icky.
This administration and it's apologists and PR managers want nothing more than a pure Friedman Ecconomy of Privatized government.
The compramise bill of this SCHIP Plan will include a State-by-State option to put ALL the money into private health insurance companies!

Some liberals don't like the word "bitch", but it's the only word I can think of to describe Malkin. The freaking degenerate stalked a 12-year-old child, for pity's sake! Just when you think she can't go any lower, that damned snake manages to limbo under the f#cking sewer she slithered out of.
From now on, everyone should refer to her as Michele Stalkin, since she has decided to stalk defenseless children who disagree with that chimp she worships.
If I knew that witch was twenty block away from my house snooping around I would of paid the local thugs to give her a "nice" welcome.

That doesn't work anymore. If she was parading around my house I'd call animal control and say there was a loose dog on my property without a collar or leash.
So was congress planning to condemn this when hell freezes over, or was that the 4th of Never?
Please allow me to go OT for a sec. The Repub debate will be on CNBC today at 4pm (eastern time) and then shown again tonight at nine. Since I find it difficult to stay up that late and get up at three with my little dog, this is good news for me and I thought I would share that information with anyone like myself who wasn't aware of the early time.

I just really enjoy listening to all of these rich talking heads who have no idea what it is like to support a family on an average American income. It is really so amusing.
I would like to point out, too, that the insurance this family would be paying $1,200 a month for would be really terrible, basic insurance. I pay $1,200 a month for my families insurance and that is with my employer footing part of the bill. If you are not part of a group insurance plan, $1,200 a month won't go very far, or cover very much. My sister has private insurance (they are both self employed) and it didn't even cover all of her well baby care for the first year of her daughter's life. They had reached the 'limit' of the plan and she had to take her baby to an immunization clinic to make sure she got all of her shots.
Ridiculous.
GMC hasn't made the Suburban since 2000! The GMC Suburban is now called the Yukon and now Chevy makes the Suburban.
Again, reich-wingers are factless losers.
Guess what Michele. $45,000 a year with two kids is not middle class anymore. It is the upper end of poor. I bet Malkin spends more than that on shoes a year.
With friends like her you don't need any enemas.
Thanks Capt Kangaroo, I could not for the life of me think of Cunningham's name.
Thanks for the offer LA, but I want to watch this debate just for the comical entertainment factor. I want to see old Fred do his thing, whatever that is.

This is a must see! I promise you will be able to watch Freed Thompson self destruct before your eyes!! He is an empty suit. Has nothing to add to the conversation. Yet the right wing are betting big on him. It will all come to a screeching halt tonight when the “Old Man” shows what he does not have and the Republicans will be back to the cast of characters that are as worthless as a 2000 GMC Suburban.
I found this on the web last week. It reminded me so much of the right wing's proudest pundits, I thought it would be appropriate to pass it along here.
Here are some tell-tale signs that you may be dealing with a sociopath:
1. Manipulative and Cunning: they never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
2. Grandiose Sense of Self: extreme narcissism feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
3. Pathological Lying: has no problem lying. It is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
4. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt: does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
5. Shallow Emotions/Incapacity for Love: when they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person.
6. Need for Stimulation: promiscuity, addictions and gambling are common.
7. Callousness/Lack of Empathy: unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress.
8. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature: rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish; no sense of personal boundaries no concern for their impact on others.
9. Irresponsibility/Unreliability: not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
10. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle: tend to move around a lot, poor work ethic often between jobs or “waiting for large sum of money to come in.” May state readily that their goal is to rule the world.
Rule of thumb: never give away anything in a relationship you can’t afford to lose. My girlfriends and I are mature, educated, insightful, loving women but we fell fast and hard. If I had known the signs, I believe I’d have made different choices.
Ultimately, you have to be willing to be honest with yourself and see the signs for what they are. Denial only makes the fall that much harder.
Words can't describe how much I hate those motherfuckers.
Part of me wishes we could just have another civil war and get it over with.

Attack the messenger, same ole wingnut crap.
Most of the prominent right-wing bobbleheads' motivation I get. Limpbaugh is a huckster, only in it for the money, falafel boy is another delusional loser who stumbled into a cash cow. Morgan is grateful everyday that she gets to scream on TV instead of servicing drunk sailors.
But Malkin is a little different. There is a savage core of hate and venom that the others dont really have. I think she is psychotic.
If this were a little girl instead of a little boy and an adult male was snooping around her family and home looking for personal info, what would Malkin say?
Time and time again the Republicans have touted the need of a healthy and strong middle class. These attacks on the Frost family goes to show they don't give two sh*ts about the middle class, let alone the poor and working poor. Their beautiful answer to the health insurance crisis: Tax credits for self purchased health insurance, forcing the sale of homes to cover medical expenses not covered by health insurance and limited bankruptcy options.
It is time that Ms. Malkin and her ilk to stop this incessant war on the middle class, the poor and the working poor. It is time that Republicans stand up for true principles that protect all Americans, not just the wealthy. I am waiting...................................................
I just don't get her point. Should this family have been living in a homeless shelter? Would that have made it ok for them to speak out on the need for SCHIP? Of course, then she would have mocked them for being too lazy to have a house and living in a homeless shelter on 'the dole'.
The point of SCHIP is to allow families to survive not only well -child care costs, but catastrophic costs in case of a crisis. Isn't this to support families, and society at large?
Family values, indeed. Just make sure you don't actually have a family unless you are wealthy
For godsakes, this is a child that Malkin and her ilk are going after. Malkin is no better than a gossip mill. She has yet to post the facts. Ugh. She does have a black heart.
The absolute worst nightmare that I ever had was that MM had come on to me.
Can't we just call Malkin what she is...a lazy-eyed anchor baby? This fact explains her need to be more American than Americans and her pathological hatred of immigrants, Democrats and the working poor and middle-class.

You have to see it from her point of view.
In her mind if you are disadvantaged, either because you are sick or poor or divorced or whatever it is, then you have done something that deserves Gods' wrath. You are a bane to society, therefore you deserved as much as scorn and ridicule in this life.
Her point of view is not that much different from most conservative evangelicals that I know.
If Malkin hadn't been born here as a "Jackpot Baby," her only other choice would be, working on her back, and definitely with her mouth, when the 6th Naval Fleet pulled into Subic Bay!
Phoenix Justice @ 100:
There is no middle class.....
The thing that pisses me off the most about the wing nuts "ownership society" and the foulked up HSA idea is that these ass hats "assume" the insurance companies would "insure" you...What insurer would even touch this case with two sick kids ? They would slap so many pre existing condition clauses on this family they may as well flush their money down the toilet. Foulke Malkin that bug eyed carp.
Chimp talks about getting insurance like you are getting a cup of coffee at 7-11 without considering the massive numbers of people "who would not qualify!"
I know..we applied for private insurance or one of these sheetbag HSA's...my wife's younger sister who was 31 had died of breast cancer 4 weeks before my son was born...my wife wanted to stay home for a year or two so we saw if we could swing it not thinking it would be an issue....
due to the fact her sister died...they turned her down...now we can not get private insurance...ever...due to the fact the denial is a black mark on her medical record. We asked if in a couple of years we could re apply....No was the answer.
We called another carrier and they wouldn't even look at the case....
HSA's are nothing but a scam for Wall Street and corporate America.

“[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance." {mm}
seems a wee bit strange to hear the notion advanced that private health insurance is an "investment"...
it seems to me that it is more a gamble, betting against oneself or one's good luck as it only yields a return if one encounters tragic circumstances. moreover, it becomes worthless when the premium period is passed...
i would be more inclined to say that property and a business are the investments, and that insurance was an expense that, when passed up, created a different take on the gamble...
a gamble is an "investment" made when one cannot really afford to lose, and an investment is a gamble that has more to do with hard work and good sense than bad luck...
and that, folks, comes right out of the capitalist, "free enterprise" play book...
yeah, they could have invested in health insurance at the expense of their other investments -- as many people probably do -- but for what...?
bottom line, though, is that children don't have that choice...
Good thing she's not snooping around Cheney's famous Undisclosed Location. The Veep would have shot her in the face and made her apologize for it.

ysbaddaden @ 111:
No I disagree. She's got a track record of stalking and harrassing people - and encouraging her readers to do the same. She's not well liked, she's a known liar, she's a vicious shrew. She is digging herself deeper into a hole with this latest stunt and no one will be surprised when it eventually backfires and someone strikes back.
No one will buy her "innocent victim" act. She's got a history.
If you look up c*nt in the dictionary there is a picture of buck toothed Michelle Malkin right next to the word... I kid you not. What a piece of worthless flesh this bitch is.

Andy @ 108:
I don't disagree with you at all. I am the co-owner of a gay adult entertainment company and when we went to get health insurance coverage, we were turned down, even for the most basic of basic plans. It is a sad day when someone wants to do the right thing and cover themselves and their employees with health insurance and they are denied because of the type of business they are in. I guess that would be one of those "choices" that Ms. Malkin says everyone has to make.
Everyone needs to wake up to the fact that there isn't a health crisis in the U.S., there is a health insurance crisis. Its not caused by those "greedy" trial attorneys. Its not caused by patients wanting the best care possible. Its caused by health insurance companies trying to squeeze blood from turnips to maximize their profits.
Crooks_and_Liars_LOVES_Me @ 8:
that is a really stupid thing to say....try inserting "jews" or "blacks" into your sentence..
we don't agree with them, but don't be a jackass
You know, I have nothing against fact checking by both sides. However, that's NOT what Malkin and her ilk are doing. They ask relevant questions ("Did this family really deserve SCHIP las they claim?"), but frame them in innuendos, then when the answers aren't what they want, they just let the innuendo's hang and the "question" remains unanswered.
It's easy and fun kids. Just follow me. Start asking...
"Does Michelle Malkin enjoy killing puppies for some sick, sadistic pleasure?"
"Does Karl Rove enjoy fondling prepubescent boys?"
Now. ask these questions as often and to as many people as you can, but don't really care to get an answer. In fact, ignore it when it appears right in front of your face. Then, soon... voila! A smear is born!
People like Malkin care nothing about anyone else. Their entire lives are dedicated to defending the Bush Administration. To them, Bush is their God. Make no mistake, they will step on everyone and do what ever it takes to protect Bush.
I think Malkin and her crew are the true anti-americans. I don't want to live in her America.
I can't conceive of publishing anyone's private information. It makes me more then a little sick to my stomach.
She wants neighbors to report neighbors just like they did in Russia ... Is she a closet commie?
Since when have any of those traits been considered negative by the repug "let's bring back the dark ages" party? From what I've seen and read the more coniving, evil and backstabbing you are, the more the reich will love you. She's probably being considered for sainthood by some fundie reich wing group as we speak.
Right wing blogger and insurance companies have something in common: they are both pond scum. I worked for two different insurance companies (mea culpa, but I had kids to feed and jobs were scarce on the ground - I left as soon as I could and work for a non-profit now.) At both they gave their employees crummy insurance coverage, paid as little as they could and rewarded their officers and agents with huge bonuses. The one benefit I got was from an agent who was afraid to fly and insisted that a bunch of us go to the airport and stay with him until the plane took off. He bought champange for everyone.
Um, "crooks and liars loves me" is obviously a troll.
Yes, republicans do = dirty, underhanded tricks, and men in bathrooms tapping others' feet
No, progressives do not = "exterminating those who disagree with us"
For that, look at the hypocritical reaction between the Dixie Chicks comment and ted nugent's.
Whatevers.
It really makes you wonder about where Malkin and others like her exist? I mean if I acted like she and her ilk, I wouldn't want to show my face in public.
The little Malkinese bitch just won't stop yappin will she? She shudders, whines, and pisses all over the place. She's lucky that her crowd haven't euthanized her yet because you know she walks a fine with her confederate of inbreds.
Powkat @ 123:
You shouldn't apologize for working for insurance companies. We all take jobs we don't like to make the money we need to survive.
I almost worked as a phone operator for an insurance company but I only lasted through two weeks of the 'training'.
When they started showing us the dirty tricks they use to get people to hang up and give up, I quit. I just couldn't do it.
The goal is not phone support. The goal is to create a buffer between the company and the people they rip off.
Kiva @ 118:
more double standards, when its Karl Roves proposal its "permanent majority"
although I agree, its a dumb thing to say, whether its karl rove or kiva.
intolerance is not productive.

Maldoror @ 96:
This just made my day.
I live in Maryland. I feel like standing guard outside the Frost's house with a spear.
What would I do if I found that lurking around my house? I'd call animal control.
kulshan @ 128:
No thanks. They would probably invite you back to a public restroom.
so , in all seriousness, anyone have Michelle Malkin's cell??
Home addy??
See how she likes DEM apples.
And also, who decides what the "poverty line" is?
When was the last time that standard was reviewed for inflation etc.???
1932??
kulshan @ 133:
Yes.

Tigerwong @ 130:
hilarious.
fuckin hilarious.
What would I do if I found "that" snooping around my house? Well, this is a family oriented site, so let's just say it would be something very twisted involving some barbed wire, a blow torch, a hammer, 2 medium sized bricks, a large cinder block, sand paper, duct tape, a deck of Uno cards, 10 feet of rubber hose, a wood rasp, roofing nails, and a wood chipper.

Malkin is one of those who take their natural beauty and change it by dint of sheer personality into something repellent. Now when she walks into a room it isn't her beauty that gives one pause, it is her hubris which precedes her always. I almost feel sorry for her.....not.

22,000 US Soldiers Denied Healthcare
by R o o k

The Pentagon has informed thousands of American soldiers in Iraq that their Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder was a pre-existing condition from before they ever joined the military. In other words, NO TREATMENT, NO INSURANCE, NO NOTHING!
And if that isn’t holy-fucking-shit awful enough for you, American soldiers suffering brain injuries while in Iraq are being told that also was a pre-existing condition.
More than 22,000 soldiers serving in Iraq have been kicked out of the US military entirely – booted from a war zone straight to the streets – for seeking treatment for the psychological effects of combat and brain injuries. Now, they’re jobless, without medical coverage, and in immediate need of medical treatment that Bush’s Pentagon/VA absolutely refuses to provide.
I really fear that one of Malkin's sycophants will go out an kill someone for her one day.
APEC not OPEC @ 140:
How the hell can anyone call a brain injury incurred during combat a "preexisting" condition?
WTF?
How stupid do you have to be? How can anyone think that's acceptable or even a maintainable lie?

MargeAggedon @ 142:
OOPS! I meant "phoney soldiers"
kulshan @ 133:
And is it viral?
I wonder if Malkins ancestors were bootlicks to their imperial masters like she is?
If Malkin has a penchant for snooping around peoples houses, maybe someone in her neck of the Maryland woods can bait her?
Tommykey @ 149:
Would you need a master baiter?
