Michelle Malkin linked to a thuggish effort on the campus of UC Santa Cruz to push military recruiters off campus through physical intimidation last week. Their attempt worked, but now the organizers of this effort have cried foul over Michelle's decision to post their contact information from their own press release on her blog. As usual, the idiots who cannot read a press release blame Michelle for revealing their private numbers and have started the usual racist and sexist insults and threats against her. (None of them are terribly original, and some of them hurl epithets referencing Chinese ethnicity, apparently believing all Asians must be alike.)

Even better, leading MS-NBC nutcase Keith Olbermann picked the day when a suicide bomber killed nine people at a falafel stand to choose Michelle as his World's Worst Person of the Day -- for reprinting the information organizers proudly publicized themselves. Even the Daily Kos crowd figured that much out.

The Washington Post appears to have merely scratched the surface ...

UPDATE: For those who want to excoriate Michelle for taking advantage of those poor inexperienced college students, I hope they save some of their vitriol for the "wingnuts" at Indymedia, Indymedia again, Infoshop News, and the Oread Daily. All of these posted the same information to the same Internet as did Michelle Malkin, and they did it for the same reason those poor benighted students did -- to encourage more protofascists to physically intimidate those military recruiters with enough chutzpah to offer a career choice to college students.

UPDATE: Michelle posts that none of the three whose names and contact numbers were in the press release has e-mailed any request to her to remove the information from her website (in an update to her post, linked above). So much for "asking her politely". And the info is still up on the websites linked above.
