It really doesn’t get any worse than this Michelle Malkin (filling in for Bill O’Reilly) interview of Malik Shabazz Thursday night on Fox “News”. There is so much wrong with the exchange that no analysis can do it justice. The clip picks up about halfway through a discussion on the Duke lacrosse case. Here is a taste:
Shabazz: Will you apologize for being a political prostitute for Bill O’Reilly, a white-male-chauvinist-racist, as a woman of color?
Malkin: You want to call me a whore on national TV?
Shabazz: Yes.
Malkin: There is only one whore on this split-screen and it’s you Mr. Shabazz.
Shabazz: As a woman of color, you should be ashamed of yourself…
Only on Fox “News” and immediately after back to back to back Don Imus segments!
Both Malkin and Shabazz sound like morons.
But too bad for FOX News, Malkin is a boring moron. What a terrible camera presence. Yawn. Maybe she should fill in for O’Reilly every night and that show would be off the air in a month… who could stay awake listening to that droning monotone?
Damn, Alan! That word rocks!
Abysmalism!
Still, I wouldn’t click on that “play” button if you paid me….
I hate to tell ya she clearly kicked his as & rightly so. . . . .File that under comedy. . .
How come Michelle Malkin, who is of Filipino descent, never says anything about McCain’s “gook” statement?
Here’s a good article about Michelle Malkin:
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/6060
Our nation is in limbo in the sense of “how low can you go” … thanks to the neoCon leadership of the low in the what house.
God, what a lightweight!
I’m sorry, Malkin IS nothing more than O’Reilly’s and Hannity’s whore. She doesn’t deserve sympathy from anyone. She and that whore Anne Coulter are cut of the same cloth. As a woman, I believe these women represent the scrouge of civilized society. They are both the biggest racist and sexist pigs I’ve ever seen and a pathetic excuse for women.
Malkin — what a piece of work. I used to think she wished she were white. Now I think she actually believes it. She spent the first five segments of her ugly, hateful Thursday night turn of hosting “the Factor” either attacking blacks, or trying to set up black strawmen like Fox News’s favorite idiot Malik Shabazz (trotted out to reassure Fox’s lily-white viewers that they’re perfectly right to resent black people who assert themselves in our society) and the next one going after the children of undocumented workers who have been ripped from their families by immigration enforcement. Malkin, to use her own ugly phrase, is a rich Filipina “anchor baby” who was born here while her physician father was here on a work visa. Poof! Instant citizenship! Now she makes it her life’s work to defecate on other brown-skinned people who didn’t have the opportunities she was born with. God, that woman is vile.
Michelle Malkin is a conservative. She is not a prostitute. This Malik Shabazz is a radical racist. There in lies the problem. Until we get past “race” this country is doomed.
Knowing O’Reilly I won’t be surprise if he is having sex with Malkin.
That’s why she is on air.
This is just so wrong. I don’t care who Michelle Markin is or what she does. No man, no gentleman should call a woman of any color a whore, especially on national TV. There’s definitely a double standard when nobody is saying anything about that. I am appalled. What kind of man does that? Then he goes on to add that he’s a defender of black women, so I guess the rest of us are just prostitutes. Nice to know. We are women, mothers, sisters, daughters, and we are NOT prostitutes nor anybody has the right to call us that just because we are not the same race as them.
Humm…I don’t think you really know either one of them that good. You just pulled an Imus. Shame on you.
Jennifer,
All hail O’Reilly if he really is banging that fine piece of Asian tail. Well done, Bill, and we all aspire to follow in your footsteps.
While I usually have nothing but contempt for Malkin I’m afraid to say that this time she actually came out of the argument making the most sense.
Of course this had everything to do with the fact that FOX chose an even sicker racist than Malkin.
Still, I’m pleased that FOX did so…I’m sick of the double standard when issues of race are concerned. White people are victims of “hate” crimes and speech as well as “minorities.” Hate has no color.
Just asking…should stores ban all of the rap and hip-hop discs on the market that call to “kill whitey crackers?”
Of course not…its called free speech…sure Imus’ comment was offensive to some — lots. But has the US become so fragile a nation that a radio personalities comments create a national furor?
Too bad people weren’t as upset when a Presidential election was stolen from right under their noses.
FOX very clearly and deliberately, puts up “…wants to play chicken with our troops.” under picture of Obama.
The entire phrase?
“I think that nobody wants to play chicken with our troops on the ground.”
AND THEY WONDER WHY DEMS WON’T GO TO FOX PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES??????????

Well, well, well see how far down the sewer America has fallen? Put two idiots together and you see the cultural bastardization of the American mindset.
I don’t condone Mr. Shabazzs comments, but you cannot say he wasn’t cajoled into this exchange. At least he is true to who and what he is. Malkin on the other hand is the little bitch of the NEOCON smear machine. I don’t think she has a clue to who she is. My guess is she has undergone some kind of brainwashing program that totally erases cognitive thought from the mind. No one can be that ignorant and pathetic in the real world.
When you have real questions of the 911 event being asked, when all evidence points to an internal military operation, you get these incredible schmucks like O’Reilly, Hannity and Malkin doing an obvious coverup dance. Why? Who do you suppose is really paying their salary? They have zero loyalty to real American. These people should be tried for treason and dealt with appropriately.
So now we all feel sorry for Malkin?? Did she take the higher road? she called Shabazz a whore aswell. So let these scummy Fox people drown in their own pollution.
big yellow idiot and Nordstrum, and most others are blind to the facts. Did they not see the Shabazz guy was the one to blame? Michelle was only defending her position and making counter points to the fact of that white hater. ** Why is it OK for them [blacks] to call each other Ni#$%r, Fu%^&r, and call a white and non-black all the words and use it constantly in daily conversation and music; however when a white guy uses it suddendly its bad? ** That Shabazz guy is a blind, racist hatemonger.’Ol shabazzie is a blithering idiot among MANY other things the auto-censor would have a meltdown if I said ’em…shabazzie and his big unknown “orginization”, of 14 others…what was the the name of his “orginization” again?…the Village Idiots?
Granted I do NOT like everything that O’Reilly and Malkin say, but they on FNC are the few people that have arguments from both sides of the yard. NBC, CBS, CNN, Etc… are one sided, ultra left wing idiots. The so-called people they[NBC, Etc…] interview, are people that already agree with them, or ones thay can easily gang up on to put down.
Those guys [Shabazz, CNN, NBC, Etc…] are so left-wing in their statements that they are flying in circles. C’omon; what is going on with these people?
Liberals and others like him claim they are ‘open minded’; however they are quick to judge, dont look at both sides of the arguement and substitute their opinion as truth, and attack others that they know are right just to make themselves to look better. Liberals [and others like them] are so ‘opem minded’ that their brains have fallen out of their head.
It appears that the gulf between the liberals and the conservatives in this nation has gotten so bad, that people do not even know how to act civilized. Shame on them!! Shame on us!!
Whoa!…I saw that on TV last night…blew me away…Not a frequent viewer of the show, but from what i’ve seen, it does seem she sucks up…or rather tries too hard to say words that are pleasing to O’Reilly’s ears…how did she get THAT WAY!!!….Kingsley Jr.
John Swinton on American media prostitutes
One night, probably in 1880, John Swinton, then the preeminent New York journalist, was the guest of honour at a banquet given him by the leaders of his craft. Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.
There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with.
Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”
(Source: Labor’s Untold Story, by Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, published by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America, NY, 1955/1979.)
That is interesting story, Derrick. That certainly appears to be the goal of CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, New York Times and Washington post.
It’s wierd, but I keep thinking it should have been:
[Shabazz:]Will you apologize for being a political prostitute for Bill O’Reilly, a white-male-chauvinist-racist, as a woman of color?
[Malkin:]You want to call me a whore on national TV?
[Shabazz:]I just did. I want you to call yourself a whore on national TV.
Who is this Shabazz guy anyway, and what has he done to deserve national airtime?
Did Fox do a casting call for Angry Black Male and Shabazz was the first to show up?
Is Shabazz supposed to be the guy who fulfills certain white people’s fantasy of an Angry Black Male? Was it so hard to find a real Black racist who is known anywhere besides Fox?
And where’s this song with the “Kill Cracker Whitey” lyrics to it? I’ve been searching for this song, but I can’t find it. What’s the song’s title, and who is the “artist” who sings it?
malkin she puts me to sleep and orielly lost my vote after that thing he went through…
I’m glad I sold my TV. What a waste of time. I think it’s sad the Bradblog covers this shit. Just ignore it.
{Ed note: Racial epithets deleted. –99}
I think maybe the FAKE O’Reilly show had some scripted crap planned with this guy, Malking filled in, and “screwed up” the “script”…FAKE everything! Infomercials their idiot followers, fall for…
Let’s see, they got fake NVR’s they pass out to local news channels, fake war statistics, fake voters rights groups (ACVR), a fake news channel (FOX), fake “conservatives” that only idiots think are conservatives: Malkin, Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, most of the GOP, FAKE everything!
FAKE qualified people ruining this country, given important positions within the government, who are Bush loyalists but unqualified…and that’s why this country’s going down the tubes. It’s party before country anymore.
And who’s fault is it? We can probably begin by looking in the mirror, too. For allowing all of this.
Hmmmmm . . .
And where’s this song with the “Kill Cracker Whitey” lyrics to it? I’ve been searching for this song, but I can’t find it. What’s the song’s title, and who is the “artist” who sings it? Jim, it’s “Kill Whitey Cracker” by Menace Clan quote:
“Niggas in the church say: kill whitey all night long. . . . the white man is the devil, a beast, berserk . . . Satan, serpent, evil, wicked . . . demonic, hell-born, vicious, savage, ruthless, wild, fierce, untamed, the arch-enemy . . . prince of darkness; nigga, let me start this by saying: the CRIPS and Bloods are soldiers I’m recruiting with no dispute; drive-by shooting on this white genetic mutant. . . . let’s go and kill some rednecks. . . . Menace Clan ain’t afraid of a peckerwood. . . . I got the .380; the homies think I’m crazy because I shot a white baby; I said; I said; I said: kill whitey all night long. . . . a nigga dumping on your white ass; fuck this rap shit, nigga, I’m gonna blast. . . . I beat a white boy to the motherfucking ground. . . . slash in the name of Assassin”;
“Kill Whitey”; Menace Clan, Da Hood, 1995, Rap-A-Lot Records, Noo Trybe Records, subsidiaries of what was called Thorn EMI and now is called The EMI Group, United Kingdom.
Abdiel foolishly said:
No, it’s called advocating murder. And it should certainly be banned by any self-respecting music outlet.
Should it be “outlawed” by the government? That’s a different case entirely. I’m fairly sure that advocating murder is not allowable free speech, but I’m not expert on that.
Either way, get your facts straight.
D Wood,
I just got back to this message board and was ready to respond to the question but I’m happy to see that you did — and very well, I might say.
Like I said, “hate has no color.” A fact that race baiters hate to recognize — it’s always the white man and never the “oppressed.”
That’s what is wrong with race relations in America — when will they get it? There is an agenda for racial animosity — keep the masses against each other and they won’t pay attention to the common wrongs perpetuated against them by the rulers who manipulate them.
How else could they get away with their crimes?
“By way of deception, thou shalt do war.”
Brad Freidman — I’ve got my “facts straight” and I’m not foolish.
I pointed out that there is a double standard…Imus is fired for “offensive” remarks. Menace Clan is protected by “free speech.”
I know what you are and you certainly are no “expert” about my point. As a matter of fact, you make no point whatsoever. Except the usual diversion of double speak and then a disclaimer — “I’m not an expert on that.”
Perhaps you aren’t intelligent enough to understand my original post — I forgive you. But please don’t try to school me on a point that you apparently do not understand.
BTW, Menace Clan is made public by subsidiaries of the EMI Group — will you at least agree with me that EMI is not a “self-respecting” corporation for supporting a group that is “advocating murder?”
If you do, I invite you to contact the justice department and make a complaint against them — once you try, I think you’ll finally understand the point that I am making.
But then again, you’re “no expert.”
I watched this as it was happening and that Malkin was right on. She is much more entertaining than O’Reilly.
She was able to demonstate the hypocracy of many “outraged” Black commentators over the Imus remarks.
Believe me I’m no fan of Fox news, especially O’Reilly
they are the most unbalanced news out there but I do appreciate combative journalism where hard questions elicit unintentional but true responses.
Malkin demonstrated this.
How is it that one commenter thinks NBC and CNN are so liberal? CNN employs Glen Beck… NBC employs Tucker Carlson, Joe Scarborough, and Pat Buchanan.
Yes, champions of the left all.
You can’t see me, but I’m rolling my eyes really hard.
Ann Coulter is a He-She.
Has anyone, ever, seen a pic of Coulter where s/he doesn’t have an Adam’s Apple?
If it has an apple then it has a banana…

Abdiel said –
Your double standard is not mine. I did not call for Imus to be fired. As to the protection of a 1995 song under the “free speech” clause of the amendment, I’m not sure what a call to the DoJ would tell us (as you suggested). If you have a constitutional scholar/attorney who has a viewpoint on the topic, I’d be more than happy to see it.
As mentioned, I have no idea whether openly advocating murder is allowable free speech or not. You’re saying it is, apparently. As is Imus’ speech. Whether a private company chooses to promote it or not, has nothing to do with free speech.
I see no prob condemning NBC for carrying Imus or EMI for carrying Menace Clan if you are inclined to do either. Makes no difference whether I agree with either such condemnation. Nor does it tell us anything about what is protected free speech and what is not.
Sorry you find it more useful to try and take personal shots at me rather then back up your original position with facts and evidence to support it.
Well, I keep saying, I’ve never seen Ann Coulter and Todd Rundgren together…
I don’t understand why Imus has been saying these things for years, and why now does this happen? Right with the scandal that’s going to take down the Bush administration: THE EMAIL SCANDAL!!!
Complete with the 9/11 time period! Wow!
“OK, we recovered the emails…HEY! What’s this one about 9/11???”
Malkin is Coulter’s BITCH. They lesbos share a Harley HOG.
Michelle Malkin needs to be taken aside and told that there’s only room for one Ann Coulter in the world.
Nobody really needs two mentally ill female rightwingers commenting on world events.
Hey Friedman —
You still don’t get my point.
You were the one who brought up the “advocating murder” argument.
I am a strong believer in “freedom of speech.” No matter what is said, whether I agree with it or not.
That is my point!
Imus offended — he loses his job. Offensive “kill whitey” music is given no concern. It’s the double standard that offends me. In other words, it’s okay for blacks to offend, but not so for whites.
I am commenting on the double standard — not about the right of all to say what they want to say.
Can your mind comprehend that?
You took your own argument and tried to imply that it was mine in your last post. Don’t do that — it makes you look quite disingenuous indeed.
