Recently, after "student activists" at UCSC had forced military recruiters to leave the bi-annual job fair at UCSC, fellow blogger Michelle Malkin did a few posts about this, and as a result of posting some public contact information about the "student activists" in one of her posts - information that they had made public, by the way - some cowardly leftist thugs then posted to the web personal information about Michelle, including her home address (with satellite photos!) and telephone number, in an apparent attempt to incite someone to harass her, at the very least, or even to possibly cause her harm.
This is outrageously reprehensible! The Constitution guarantees the right of anyone to voice their opinion, as well as guaranteeing you the right to disagree with that opinion. However, just because you happen to disagree with someone's opinion does not give you the right to try to shut them up through intimidation, or outright threats to their personal safety.
Several other fellow bloggers have come to Michelle's side in this, and Michelle also has something to say, too, with links to her posts that caused such a cowardly reaction. You can see what others have been saying by going here, here (pretty funny), here, and here (caution - very strong language!).
A personal note to Michelle - I salute your bravery in the face of these cowardly attempts to try to intimidate you into silence. Know that there is a whole army of folks out here that are ready, able, and willing to come to your defense.
And last but not least, a personal note to the "anonymous" cowards out there who posted all that private personal information about Michelle to the web - nothing on the web is ever truly, completely "anonymous". Someone else with the expertise and time will ferret you out, and make YOUR private personal information public, and I know without a doubt that you won't like that.
