Pen pals
Michelle Malkin has published a stunning anthology of hate mail she's received in recent weeks.
Having spent several decades in politics and public relations, I'm pretty much inured to nasty and out-of-left-field letters and emails. But this stuff truly shocked me.
I reproduce her sampling here in full, uncensored Reader discretion is advised.
Hi Self hating flat nosed Filipino Bitch! As we used to refer to your kind - little brown Fucking Machines. Looks like this little LBFM learned to whore in a different way to make some pesos. How sweet.

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 just hope that I am still around when the karma catches up to those of you that have spread the lies and attacked the innocent. I hope your fate is somewhat similar to the women of the Phillipines when the Japanese invaded. Then Michelle you can drop the "media" from "media whore" when someone asks your occupation.
***
You're just a Manilla whore shaking your ass and waiting for the Republican fleet to come in, aren't you? You've even got the lip gloss a bout right. Maybe if you love sailor long time, he bring you home to big American house? I don't think so. Just like in Manilla, Honey, they'll pass you around 'til they've all shot their load in you, and then they'll try to scrub off the stench so they can sail off in their crisp, white uniforms to the land of W.A.S.P.
***
Here's a tip. We know you are lyin' pond scum and a whore to your profession......and, not a very expensive whore at that. So............when we get rid of you neocons; how will you ever pay your rent? You're not good enough to make it as a real writer. fuck you; I hope you get cancer & die a horrible painful death all alone, with your collegues shunning you and the rest of us reading how wrong you are AND WHAT A CRUMMY WRITER YOU ARE.
***
Malkin, you're a dumb fucking whore. You're a philipino piece of shit who should be wiping my ass. Go back to the massage parlor. Sucky sucky long time. How dare you thing you have any right to express any opinions in this country. You're a joke. Go back to nursing school. Whore.
***
Young lady you should be ashamed of yourself. My husband is Filipino and is all I have met have had integrity. However, you have disgraced the Filipino Americans by spreading these awful lies and being a Bush whore. I was going to vote for Bush, but never after these dirty tricks and lies. Just like the old Marcos days' eh. Disgraceful, you family and your community are desparately ashamed of you. How much are they paying you to sell your soul. You have disgraced us all.
***
oh, mz. malkin, there are more profitable ways to whore yourself than to do it on television for the likes of the neocons. (they are even quicker to dump their whores when they are finished with them...) you would make a discreet fortune on aurora avenue here in seattle, and no one would be the wiser...
***
Say, how does it feel to be a paid prostitute for the republicans? Go get some more collagen injected in your lips, it makes you look more the part.
***
How much does the GOP pay you to be their propaganda whore?
I detect too much of a common theme here to think that these letters haven't been spawned in chat rooms and discussion groups elsewhere—manipulated by those who are campaigning to discredit her. In her column today, Michelle writes:
As a result of the Williams/Department of Education payoff, the rhetoric against the rest of us will get even nastier. In the name of "minority outreach," the Republican education bureaucrats who cooked up their pathetic scheme with Williams have done more damage to our credibility than all the unhinged liberal cartoonists and race-baiters and grievance-mongers could ever hope to do.
That may be, but this sewage was pumped out of the psychic septic tanks long before most folks had ever heard of Armstrong Williams.
As conservatism moves into the mainstream and the moral bankruptcy of liberalism becomes steadily more evident, anger toward minority conservatives (and conservatives in general) will get worse. And I suspect that our culture of political correctness only compounds the problem by repressing honest expression—and most of all humor—in matters of race, ethnicity and gender.
Michelle has performed an important public service by sharing these emails in an uncensored form. I almost wonder if someone shouldn't publish a book (or create a web site) of hate mail to leading conservative figures as a means of exposing the ugliness and hypocrisy that the angry moonbat left represents.
I know Michelle's decision to publish this swill had to be a painful one.
I for one applaud her for it.

Nothing to add, except to say I have a Waterman pen just like the one shown in your graphic.

You got some balls suggesting that hate mail represents 48% of America. Lots of people get hate mail. Few show it in public. Fewer still suggest that it represents an entire class of people.
You owe my liberal friends and neighbors an apology for ever associating the category "liberal" with this vile putrescence. Hate mail neither supports nor discredits any philosophy. If you want the marketplace of ideas to decide conservative or liberal, then represent the ideas honestly. There is nothing "liberal" about the letters Ms Malkin has published.
FROM THE BLOGDESK: You've made quite a leap here, Mr. Wilson—and one that's hardly warranted by my post.
What I've called the "angry moonbat left" doesn't represent anything close to the 48 percent of the American electorate who voted for John Kerry, and I would never suggest for a moment that it did.
I did say that—as liberalism has moved away from championing moral values in American life (as it very much did in the 1960s and 1970s, when I identified strongly with it)—those on the far left have elected to direct their anger toward conservatives in general and minority conservatives (Michelle Malkin, Thomas Sowell, Linda Chavez, Ann Coulter et al.) in particular.
Nothing would please me more than to see the Democratic Party emerge once again as the party of ideas and moral values, and I suspect that one day it will. Until it finds its soul again (perhaps through the candidacy of someone like Barack Obama), however, I fear that Ms. Malkin's inbox will only get uglier.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that there's nothing "liberal" about the letters Ms Malkin has published. But the angry references to Republicans and to President Bush make it clear that they're coming from the left side of the political spectrum, not the right. And those people strike me as just as scary as the right-wing militias and abortion-clinic bombers—perhaps more so, since they can hide their destructive agenda under a progressive banner.
Liberals would be well advised to give these extremists a wide berth, as you plainly do.
