DENVER MINT -- Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin made an appearance at a planned protest of the Denver Mint building Monday, causing a shoving match between her bodyguard and protesters.
The Fox News commentator and syndicated columnist arrived at around 5:15 p.m. to the Re-create 68 Alliance-organized event, in which a group of 70 people attempted to levitate the building.
Reporters and protesters asked her what she was doing there and she replied.
"I'm working," she said. "I'm not the news here."
The protesters yelled, asking why she supports torture and Guantanamo Bay.
She didn't respond.

Malkin is disgusting. The points she puts forward are grounded in nothing but hate and ignorance. When confronted with facts, she quickly dismisses them and then feels slighted by being "attacked", as if pointing out truth to her is a personal attack. She is a classic example of the rot that has taken root in the United States and will result in the death of the republic if not addressed.

Michelle, you are a right-wing celebrity.
When you say you are working, you are either doing that or you have a new gig stamping out pennies.
Nah, that's unlikely. That would mean for once you were actually making cents.

Once again, the real facists are on the left. You lefties, try this, just walk on by someone you don't agree with. They are not evil, they are not trying to put you in a Gulag. You lefties, on the other hand, might try to do that to her. Free speech means she can go, do and say what SHE wants. It doesn't mean you can abuse her in any way.
Some of you are sick. Get some help. This means you anderson.

You self-deluded sap. Rump Limbaugh and Annie Coulter spent the 90s advocating violence against the left.

Brown shirts always attack those they disagree with. Beat them down and drive them away. Worked for the National Socialist German Workers Party, worked for the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it worked for the Khmer Roughe, it works for ZANU-PF, and it works for the street socialists and anarchists. For each and every socialist iteration.
Look at what they did to the Fox News reporter who just wanted to ask the disgraced, fired, former college instructor, Ward Churchill:

Bonus question: George Soros bought Barack Obama, but is he still paying for the street anarchists too? Or is that why there are so few street anarchists? Because there really isn’t any ideological space between the Democrat candidate and them.
Soros bought Barack Obama because he is the most liberal senator with a National Journal rating of 95.5%. And even Uncle Joe Biden came in third with a 94.2%. Thus making both of them more liberal than even the avowed socialist, Bernie Sanders (93.7%).

The report omits the fact that crazy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones verbally berated her for almost 10 minutes, as other protesters hurled epithets, with one even chanting "Kill Michelle Malkin!"
Here is the "rest of the story"--which you won't find in the MSM--video of the whole attack:

I knew Malkin in Seattle. She was against public money for private profit then, in the case of replacing the Kingdome for a billionaire....certainly has changed her stripes! Thankfully faux news isn't spewing it's hatred all day everyday here in a civilized country!

When it comes to stating facts of government corruption and left wing/liberal agendas, or better yet, the movement of the liberal Fifth Column and its contribution to the destruction of American Sovereignty, Michel Malkin states the facts.
To bully her, and as was demonstrated with the bullying of the Fox News reporter, this is a perfect example of fascism perfected.
The left wing/liberal movement are nothing more than a bunch of Communist lackeys of elementary grade intelligence.
"Forcible suppression of opposition is fascism" which is what was demonstrated at Malkans appearance at the Mint.

In case anyone was unaware or has forgotten, Malkin is the genius who declared that wearing a paisley scarf means you're a terrorist sympathizer:

The only people hurt by the truth are those who depend on lies to forward their fear-based agenda.
Don't fall for it, people. Obama's not a Muslim, his wife doesn't hate "whitey," and Dunkin Donuts doesn't support terrorism. The only purpose for this crap is to incite fear, which tends to make people stop thinking and start reacting defensively.
