Download | Play Here’s an old Daily Show Clip with Malkinite…(small file WMP only)
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.

No shame, not a single one of them.

Michelle Malakin is nothing but a sleazy Fox Whore! She has absolutely no class and is a bigger whore for permitting herself to be a mouthpiece for hate and propaganda.
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.

Jesus General has a good email exchange going with a Malkin type airhead. The comic relief helps.
“[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.”
Private health insurance is an INVESTMENT???

michelle (gri)malkin should be forced to spend all eterinity with he who wouldn’t touch her with a 10 inch pole.
I’m sure our fine Dem congress will vote to condemn these wingnuts for going after kids…
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.
BRB_TheFireball @ 21:
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.

Jesus Christ, these people are lower than worms. Is there any way someone can report Malkin for stalking or something? I’m entirely serious about this.

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.
