Michelle Malkin gets the same treatment as other Fox News reporters got on Sunday. The people who are taking to the streets of Denver are NOT about to allow people with views they don’t agree with to walk around in peace.
-
- Mark Cohen of Recreate 68 leads the Shake Your Mint event. "It’s time to redistribute the wealth. (We'll) use our collective power to raise the mint building in the air and shake the money out of it for the people. Bring noise makers, energy, spells, magic, costumes, anything that gives you power."
-
- Yippie era superhero "Pieman" flaps his moonbat wings, in a demonstration of where too much LSD/drug use can lead. In the 1960's he brought attention to himself by throwing pies in the faces of people whose opinions he did not agree with. Obviously lacking in intellectual skills, he used pies to win arguments, and inspired an entire generation.
-
- Michelle Malkin is friendly when approached by 9/11 truther Alex Jones.
-
- Jones starts yelling at her, YOU'RE A LIAR, YOU'RE A MONSTER!"
-
- What happened next was bizarre. A public tantrum by a large, hysterical child/man towards a petite, dignified journalist. Malkin, trying to do her job as a reporter, displayed extraordinary calm and courage.
-
- The very large gentleman on the right exerts a calm, but forceful, presence without getting in Jones' face. One wonders what Jones' private behavior towards women is like. Civility is an unknown concept to many on the left. This is a modern day example of the bullying tactics described by Harold Bloom in his great book "The Closing of the American Mind." Crazed leftists forced their pseudo-academic agendas into the universities by treating their professors and deans to this type of abuse.
-
- Jones was bellowing so loudly that Malkin had to protect her ear drum.
-
- Being a former hippy myself, I was charmed to see a real hippy step forward and do the hippy thing. This guy was the only man to come to Malkin's defense, other than your photographer, who hurled numerous insults at Jones. As our hippy hero chanted "PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!" at the top of his lungs, El Marco joined in, thinking that the swarm of journalists and moonbats might pick up the theme and diffuse the situation. A few chimed in but it faded quickly and Jones stalked off after Malkin, louder and angrier than ever.
-
- Malkin repeatedly tried to carry on doing her job. Here she is holding her arms up to take photos of Pieman and the grandiose wizard. Jones would not let her have any peace and repeatedly came after her, like a junkyard dog. I heard him screech "You're a monster! You want all these people put in torture camps!" and something about "Dick Cheney is getting ready to sink our own war ships!" "Shame on Michelle Malkin! She's a fascist piece of trash!" When he was not abusing her, he was inciting the mob of journalists and journalist wannabe moonbatas with exhortations like "Look! It's Michelle Malkin! Hey, everybody, come here, it's Michelle Malkin! She supports torture and wants to put everyone in internment camps!" These quotes are from memory and not verbatim. His statements had some significance to me because of an interview he gave on radio. A couple of weeks ago, four a.m. couldn't sleep, hit the radio button, and I heard Alex Jones interviewed on Coast to Coast with George Noury. He was saying the most bizarre things about the U.S. government having established internment camps for millions of Americans here on the U.S. mainland. We are searching for the audio and will try to transcribe.
-
- As Michelle waits for a walk signal, the journalist/moonbat mob reforms around her like an amoeba engulfing a protein particle.
-
- Like a true conservative, Michelle calmly waited for the walk signal at the intersection.
-
- Waaaaah. Michelle is displaying excellent motherhood skills here. Deny the screaming brat the attention he craves, with the aim of teaching him that tantrums will not get Mommy's attention. This will prepare him for a life in the larger world where tantrums are not acceptable.
-
- Of course it didn't work, as Mother Jones lost that battle a long time ago.
-
- Portrait of dignity. Michelle crosses with the walk light towards her parked car, head held high.
-
- Having left the mob behind, a few real journalists are honored with a brief interview. Michelle retrieves her car keys from her purse, no fumbling, no shaky hands, nerves made of very fine American-made high tech material.
Cameras were everywhere; here’s Slapstick Politics’ video of the incident. For more on Alex Jones’ Troofer movement, see my coverage of 9/11 Five Years After, where Jones incited a mob to harass and torment victim’s families as they went to pay their respects at Ground Zero.

The conduct of the rabid Alex Jones, king of the conspiracy nuts, is indeed appalling, but it seems inappropriate to cite him as a typical member of the left.
Jones first came to fame as a supporter of the Branch Davidians and an opponent of Clinton. He stood in a Republican primary, to contest an Austin seat. In the primaries and the presidential campaign, it has been Obama that he has attacked.
However, any conspiracy will do for Jones. Waco, the Illuminati, the Bohemian Grove, the Bilderberg Group, implanted microchips and mind control, the “global warming lies”, evil Mexican immigrants, the New World Order and the black helicopters of the UN.
He has proudly reported the above incident, claiming that the left-behind hippies seen protecting Malkin were actually sent by the DNC as agents provocateurs.

It is hard to work out from the YouTube clips available exactly what happened, as opposed to what is said to have happened. Nevertheless, Jones is not a typical anything, let alone a typical leftist. He’s a freewheeling collection of conspiracies.

It is clear from the youtube video that Jones assaulted the hippie who stepped in to promote ‘peace’ - it is also clear the police officer refused to take action against Jones.
Jones’ shouting at MM is typical of the liberal/leftist - they only want to hear themselves, they will not allow an opposing point of view to be heard, they want no debate, they are ‘brownshirts’ of the Nazi tradition.

The very large etc gentleman thanks you sincerely for the kind words.

Charlie… you are a true man!
5Jess Lamieson on Aug 28, 2008 at :
That is one of the funniest stories I have ever seen.And I’m a fan of Jones!!
6ken on Aug 28, 2008 at :
Thanks for posting this…excellent stuff.
A minor correction–Harold Bloom is the literary critic (probably best known for The Western Canon). Allan Bloom wrote The Closing of the American Mind. (I make the same mistake way too easily even though I know better)

Michelle Malkin is traitor to her race and the constitution. She lied about marines being cruel to animals and humans. She supports forcing Japaneses in internment camps, destroying their rights given by the constitution. Guilty until proven innocent. When confronted by alex her eyes almost pop out of her head with rage for being exposed. She looks very ashamed as she should be. What a pathetic waste of human life she is.

@SoulREBEL
The reason her eyes were so big is because Alex Jones was crying louder than the loudest baby I have ever heard. Shocking. I was shocked, I use to like Alex Jones, as I am interested in everyones opinions, but after seeing him verbally and vehematley assault Michele Malkin (Who i also respect) its just gross and discusting. The same freedom you’d think a left weinger like Jones would protect he clearly spits on. He doesnt respect her freedom of speach, he only wants to hear his own voice.
What is clear is his motivations. Because nothing else he said made any sense unless it was in a fruit of the loom sense. He saw a celebrity he hated, singled her out to boost his own pocket book. More hits for his website. I heard him yell his website over and over at the end, he was trying to get that last plug in. Pathetic.
And indeed, I admire MM for her courage and calm.
