Three Reasons Michelle Shouldn't Sue

Go here to catch up, and here for the update. Ace thinks she should sue. I don't, because:

I. Her case might fail on one element. While the malice behind these postings is manifest, I don't think Michelle has sustained any actionable injury. They ran a photoshopped pic of Michelle's head on a (disproportionately huge) bikini-clad body and said it made her a hypocrite for criticizing the out-of-control skankiness of Charlotte Church.

Let's assume that I was dumb enough, as they were, to believe that Reuters-reject photoshop was real, and I believed that Michelle Malkin did, in fact, wear a bikini in March, 1992. So what? It doesn't prove their point. You can wear a bikini in your home (as in the picture) or on the beach and still not approach the same galaxy of skankazoidal creepitude that was ascribed to Church.

Malkin: Charlotte Church has transformed from a really neat kid with a beautiful voice for sacred music into a sacrilegious foul-mouthed guttersnipe.

Wonkette, et. al: Well, you once wore a bikini. So HA!

So: even if the picture were real, the only thing it would prove is that Ken Layne, Eric Muller, and the Gawker's Nick Denton are logic-impaired morons. Since it was so obviously fake, it also proves they are extremely dense logic-impaired morons.

II. Michelle produces informative reporting and informed analysis in several different media at a scary-productive rate. I'd hate to see her lose momentum while she pursued a lawsuit against these morons. There are some affronts I can imagine would require her to step away and sue. But I think her time and mental faculties can be put to better use.

III. Finally, while Professor Muller has acted like a complete buffoon, he has at least had the decency to say so. He apologized and admitted he fell for the hoax. I think he's been humbled, and I don't think there is much to be gained by humiliating him further or going after his job. As for his use of state resources to post this blog entry, well, I'm not necessarily against professors being allowed to blog, even on the State's wires.

After all, had that prohibition been in effect, blogger and University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole might be a professor at Yale now.

If anything, what the photoshopping and statements of Ken Layne, Eric Muller, and Nick Denton says is that they are total prudes for thinking that any girl who wearw a bikini is a skank, whore, or slut.

And I thought Conservatives were suppose to be the prudes???

Damn! An honest blogger. I have to agree with you. We need Michelle to keep up her work on our behalf.

Actually, she got the reverse of damage, namely encouragement and sympathy. Ooorahhh for the law of unintended consequences.

Chance: As a conservative I will say this Michelle Malkin needs to stop playing the game if she can’t take the heat. Many times she has called people names and thrown insults at people (bloggers, media columnists, called people moon bats, and many other things) white people have established a way of politics that they practice and live by Michelle Malkin. Many times white liberals and white conservative bloggers, columnist, politicians, etc trade insults and lie on each other and make false allegations against each other. But seldom do they sue each other. Why? Because whites have thick skin and they understand freedom of expression as long as no threats have been made. But when minorities meaning non-whites get involved with conservative politics they often don’t have the ability to take insults, lies, rudeness, etc like whites. Then these Michelle Malkin type conservative non-whites want to use their status as protected non-whites (minorities) and pull in the law meaning Judges, Police, lawsuits, emailing the criticizers employer in hopes of getting them fired, etc but a white conservative in general is not allowed to do these things because he or she is simply white. And not a protected minority, Michelle Malkin lives a good life financially off of playing the race game in liberal and conservative politics. And, so does Lashawn Barber, Denesh D’sousa, Rev. Jesse Lee The false prophet Peterson, Larry Lynette elder, etc these people if it was not for them being reverse race debaters and reverse race baiters we would have never heard of them. Because in reality the average white conservative man and woman is intellectual superior to these people when it comes to articulating conservative doctrine. So I say this to you Michelle Malkin you play by the white conservative man’s rules or go get on the Liberal team. Because whites seldom sue each other over insults and verbal rudeness when it comes to politics and blogging.

During an interview with Gore Vidal (Liberal) and William F. Buckley Jr. (Conservative and Buckley is the Father of modern day conservatism) – Vidal and Buckley began trading insults. Then William F. Buckley jr threaten to punch Gore Vidal in face. Now what if Gore Vidal wanted to press a 10 million dollar lawsuit against Buckley for threatening to do bodily harm? Vidal would have won because it was well documented that Buckley threatened him but Vidal being a white gay man understood that this is a part of the political antagonism between conservatives and liberals and that’s why he did not sue. But you non-whites always want to get over constantly. So I Michelle let it go or someday you will find your self on the end of a justifiable slander lawsuit because you do slander and call names. This is a conservative agenda Michelle Malkin and if you can’t compete and take insults on the level of white liberals and white conservatives then a colored not born white woman like you need to get out of the white man’s political arena. And go start your own. Also you imitate the political techniques of blacks – blacks started doing these things and then all of a sudden here comes the other non-whites getting in on the monopoly that black conservatives and black liberals made popular. Also you are not really in the truest sense of the word a writer, essayist, etc you just link to what the majority of the Liberal news media organizations have already written about. And your columns often are intellectually inferior because they offer no intellectual analysis 90% of the time. Your columns 90% of the time are just name calling and insults, name calling and insults when it comes to writing is the sign of intellectual inferiority. It is a cover up for a lack of intellectual comprehension and intellectual development. Often white conservative writers, columnists, essayists, etc give good intellectual analysis for their opinions whether one agrees or disagrees with it. But being a minority the standard is lower minority conservatives often the majority of us don’t give good intellectual analysis for our opinions on conservative ideas. Because we are minorities we are just there so the conservative right don’t look racist by having all whites. Sop Michelle play by the political rules that whites have established okay and remember Ann Coulter takes insults and gives them too. But Ann is playing so far by the rules of her people so take note Michelle Malkin and imitate that thick skin a little bit.

Remember when Liberal Dan Rather unintentionally gave than false information about President George W, bush’s military records. Now President Bush could have sued for slander but he as a white man he understood the rules of white politics. And that is don’t sue for a few insults because one has a right to the freedom of political speech. Also one has thrown insults ones self and someday some one might want to sue you for slander.

I did not edit this so forgive me people for the bad grammar and punctuations.

Chance, that was a stunning comment.

It made so little sense, that I’m just stunned. What the heck are you saying?

To Robert Roberts

It is better to pretend that one does not understand it is much safer that way to pretend not to understand. Understanding can cause suffering to a person, but this basically only applies to white conservatives when one is a non-white we can almost say what ever we want just like Michelle Malkin can. So if you are not a non-white and you are a white person it is better to pretend you don’t understand you are safer from allegations that way.

take care, robert

Chance
