Michelle Malkin Attacked at DNC (Video)
With people chanting, "Love, peace, justice" in the background Conservative writer and blogger Michelle Makin is ambushed. Interesting that these folks believe in free speech but it must mean Their free speech as several conservatives covering the protests and convention who may have a take on the events different then they want to portray are shouted doesn't and pushed around. Monday, a small in staure Fix reporter who dilegebntly asked folks for their views was pushed around by security for Ward Churchill and insisted that the reporter grabbed churchill. Every bit of video evidence shows it was Churchill nad his security team that grabbed and pushed away the reporter.
So what does it all mean. Consevatives are not allowed a voice outside the DNC. Interesting to note that no conservative group members have been arrested or have been perpetraiters in attacks.
Several dozen anti-war activists held hands and shouted “Love, Peace and Justice” during a stupid stunt to “levitate” the Denver Mint on Monday, shake out its money and redistribute the wealth.
The group “Recreate ‘68” wanted to circle the Mint on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention in homage to the 1967 protest of the Vietnam War when demonstrators sought to levitate the Pentagon.
I am not making this up people.
I’m happy to report that the Denver Mint is still on it’s foundation and the anti-capitalists failed in their effort to levitate it. The wizard hat and magic wands they brought simply weren’t working. In truth, protesters at the Mint only made it halfway down one block, the quarters that showered the ground were made of plastic, and the group’s leader wore a starry, purple wizard’s hat and red robe.
“Hey, it’s just an old Halloween costume,” Mark Cohen of Recreate ‘68 said afterward.
However, during the so-called “event” a tense moment occurred when conspiracy theorist Alex Jones spotted conservative columnist Michelle Malkin and reportedly started yelling at her. Nearby goons even shouted “Kill Michelle Malkin!

I did some wiki time on Malkin and found the following which in light of your story is ironic -
In April 2006, Students Against War (SAW), a campus group at University of California, Santa Cruz, staged a protest against the presence of military recruiters on campus, and sent out a press release containing contact details (names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses) of their three-person "ad-hoc press team" for use by reporters. Malkin included these contact details in a blog post criticizing SAW and UCSC.[30] Malkin claims the contact information was originally taken from SAW's own website, but that later SAW had removed the information and had "wiped the info from the cached version."[31] SAW "politely asked"[32][30] Malkin noted that none of the three students contacted her with that request, and posted a screenshot from one of several Indymedia websites where the complete press release was still available.[33] After Malkin's post, the three SAW contacts received abusive emails and phone calls, including death threats.[32] Malkin also received hostile e-mails and death threats.[34] Subsequently, people opposed to Malkin published her private home address, phone number, photos of her neighborhood and maps to her house on several websites. Malkin has stated that this forced her to remove one of her children from school and move her family.[35]

My comments do not attempt to justify any threats to her or anyone else. As I have stated before in at least one other comment we are all too quick to violence to resolve conflict and need to just chill out - those protesting the violence should be especially aware of what they are doing.
