   there’s some other conspiratorial reason behind my decision, falsely asserting that it was somehow related to my coverage of the S-CHIP debate, etc., etc., etc. having a brain and knowing when Gerald-who and Bill were wizzing down my neck and telling me it was rain

    The scary thing is, the vote of each one of those disgusting, reprehensible…(through clenched keyboard) “citizens” counts just as much as does yours or mine.

    docflash is absolutely correct.

    And for those of you who have not yet read “Unhinged,” you can click on the digg link. For the rest of us who have, don’t bother with digg on this. Imagine a collection of goons saying the worst you can imagine, and then make that three times more disgusting and vile, and there you have it.

    Seriously, digg (at least as it stands now) is a waste of time, populated by a majority of leftist vermin. Don’t bother, unless you would actually enjoy reading comments from these degenerates.

    While I understand and respect you for your decision not to appear on the Factor anymore, it saddens me. Geraldo’s non-apology showed him for the man of no class that he is. I look forward to seeing you on other FOX segments.

    I have been reading your blog since you started your tenacity and straight shooting honesty is what got me hooked.

    The nutroots look for any and I mean any piece to twist fit their (as they say) “narrative”. That’s what the left is about, they are a bunch of children trying to write a play and searching for pieces to fit their narrative. They don’t deal in reality, they need to build a pretend world (the netroots) because they can’t handle reality.

    I would wager anything that 9 out of 10 of the nutroot loons unraveling over you are not even aware of your successful print career.

    There just worried that you might get your own show and crush their feckless hero Olbermann every night instead of just Fridays!

    I love watching the left unravel.

    I had not noticed that you were not on Oreilly any longer because I stopped watching before “the apology”. His show was slowly starting to piss me off ever since the Anna Nicole Smith story where Oreilly began to think the name of his show was “A Current Affair”

    That’s when he officially jumped the shark.

    Since I don’t get to see you much on TV anymore I will have to email you for a signed picture of yourself.

    Dear Michelle,

    I will miss your Factor segments very much. I understand your displeasure with the handling of the incident, although I thought Bill was sincerely evoking an apology from GR. I think Bill respects you greatly, but given that GR has his own Fox show it is plausible that Bill and/or Fox news did not handle the matter as aggressively as they could have.

    I think you could have done much from that venue to get your much-needed message to the Factor audience, some/many of which may not yet use the new internet news media.

    I will plug your web sites to all I know, of course, as always.

    Frankly Michelle, you were the only reason I continued to watch

    I thought the handling of your SPAT with the Racist Geraldo was terrible. I have fallen off the FOX wagon of late mostly because I think their abandoning of the Illegal fight recently has been a betrayal …as much as Bushs’ has been.Did you notice how they spent very little time on the lead up to the comprehensive bill? And O’Reilly seems to think the ONLY problem is ILLEGAL Criminaliens….I guess he doesn’t have to worry about someone taking his job or destroying his neighborhood…..Frankly he is too much of a fence sitter for me. His boasts of being objective when he is an analyst proves only one thing…he has no passion for the very culture he claims to defend.

It seems that some people view those items as merely something for sale to the highest bidder. And those are people who lack character.

    Good on you sticking to your guns though, pride,dignity and self respect are being devalued in our society and it sets a great example, especially for young women, to see a strong woman take a stand that may in the short term hurt her (by limiting your exposure) but in the long term sends a message to misogynists like Geraldo that women won’t grin and bear their abuse. Bill didn’t stand up for you strongly enough, and I’m sure he’ll regret it.

    His loss – anyway, it was time to end your guest appearances on HIS show and have BOR as a GUEST on YOUR show!!

    I hear scrambling at CNN and MSNBC right now to see how they can position you in the same time slot to see if they can challenge the ratings.

    You could make a great daily show using just two topics on which you are the media expert: illegal immigration and galloping sharia. 30 minutes a day on each would be just about right to educate the masses.

    MM,
    You are the strongest and most resilient woman of my acquaintance. I have read samplings of the bile regularly directed your way, and the memory of it alone still makes me queasy.

    You are a phenom, and a great blessing to us. Thanks for your ceaseless work.

    God Bless you.

    So I did miss something. Sorry to hear you won’t be doing the show, as you really seemed to be almost taking it over, which was great. Added even more to the show.

    Now, I went over to the Digg site, as many of you did, and was just taken aback. I have seen so much of the hatred and racist, sexual comments before, but they really went above and beyond on this. What the Left has become is nothing short of criminal. To actively wish those things on a fellow human being, let alone someone who is an AMerican is beyond the pale and goes far beyond “Free Speech”. These are hate crimes pure and simple, and some are incitements towards violence.

    This comment I think summed it all up:

    She should not be allowed to express her opinions. Jan 2009 can’t come soon enough. Once we get Democrats in control of the Presidency and both houses of congress we’ll finally be able to quiet these right-wing loons up. Hopefully the wingnuts will be thrown in prison for their offensive speech. The thought of Limbaugh, Malkin, Coulter, et al in a prison cell makes me giddy. VOTE HILLARY 08!!!!!

    Not only is this person denying Michelle’s right to speak, but is actually thinking and hoping that Conservatives will get thrown in prison, all the while decrying what Conservatives say, yet not once looking at what she was saying. Yes, I believe the comment was from a female.

    This is what the Internet age has brought us. It has brought these hatefilled, horrid people a way to congregate and help each other. They have learned how to hate and then slap each other on the back and congratualate each other for what they feel is a job well done in the quest for…well I really don;t know what. My brain does not function in the same way. it is like trying to think like a criminal. Unless you are one, you have no idea how to do it.

    So, all you Liberal trolls that comment here, congrats. you associate with some real winners of huiman beings. These are the ones who are “making a difference” in this country and the people they elect and vote for do NOTHING to stop this. They are your voice. You can deny being like them all you want, but the “guilt by association” hangs on you like a cheap suit, and your credibility is nil.

    Michelle, so happy to hear you are in charge of your Fox appearances. Much of O’Reilly show has degraded to him patting himself on the back but his recent alliance with Geraldo, Jackson, and Shapton is testimony to his pandering for ratings not to mention him and ReGreta Van Cistern working on the resurrection of Anna Nicole Smith for ratings. Who watches such trash is beyond me but it works for O’Reilly (he thinks). Laura Ingraham hung a horse on O’ the other night regarding the authenticity of Gore winning the Peace Prize (as O’ so ably demonstrated how little he actually knows). The guy needs people like you and Laura to tell him what the hell is going on besides him in a hand basket. With his little skits he is down to nothing…e-mail Laurie Dhue about O’ then watch a segment when the both kiss his ass or lets rerun the talkies and see how they move, or lets have a nice dose of left wing in·tel·li·gent·si·a from Bill Maher (me no like Bill Maher long time). Michelle, you are far too talented not to not be held in the highest regard for those you so ably assist.

    The NYC readers should protest at the FNC building. Dozens of “Free Michelle Malkin” signs and scores of protesters wearing groucho glasses with pink mustaches will make management rethink their handling of the situation very quickly. Bill O’ will be relegated to weekly appearances on “Mondays with Kirsten and some goofy Irish guy” segments if he’s lucky.

    Seriously, it is quite a principled stand to walk away from occasional hosting duties for the network’s flagship program, and it should be commended. I suspect that values are a rare commodity in that industry and probably confused management. In an ideal world, your spot would be unfilled because a willing suitable replacement would not be found.

    Thanks Michelle for the explanation and all, and I mean ALL you do! If not for you I would be so misinformed. I would be an ignorant liberal. Instead, I am an informed independent and because of your efforts having my traditional values enforced daily reading your blog.
    It is sad to see Bill O’Reilly beoming more and more liberal like in his non-judgemental manners on people. He calls it fair I call it not holding to his principles and trying to be accepted by everyone popluar. Geraldo is a worm and belongs on MSNBC.
    Hope to see you on Hannity or Fox and Friends more and more now.
    Never fear we are with you all the way!

    While I support your decision to leave the Factor, I have to admit that I wish you hadn’t as I and many others will miss you very, very much. You’re beautiful, articulate, intelligent, and a wonderful spokeswoman for all of us who believe that this country is being hijacked by the secular progressive movement. This country desperately needs your voice.

    God bless and protect you and your family, Michelle.

    The Factor segments with you and Kristin were the best part. Bill O is an idiot for not calling out Geraldo for his fake apology and I don’t blame you for standing on your priniples. I think BO realized the shows you hosted were much better than the shows he hosts and I bet he didn’t put up much of a fight to convince you to stay. Their loss, you are truly missed on that show, and I too turn off anything that has Geraldo on it, eventually they’ll wise up and he’ll get tossed.

    The only times I watched the Factor was when Bill was gone. Much appreciated when Michelle did the show as she let people present their side but then made them defend it with rational thought and reason. As far as I could tell, she did this equally to all sides of an argument. Thank you Michelle.

    I for one am sorry you have decided to boycott the factor. O’Reilly’s handling of the Geraldo affair with you was disgusting, but remember that Geraldo, as despicable as he is, is one of Bill’s “GUYZ” — like Al Sharpton or Ellis Hennican. And as a fellow FOXie, Geraldo will get the O’Reilly kid gloves vs. you an independent pundit.

    However, if you do decide to stay away from the Factor, then

    YOU MUST, MUST, MUST

    DO MORE VIDEO “RANTS” ON YOUR HOT AIR BLOG TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

    Deal?

    I agree with your decision and fully support your line of thought in not apearing on O’Reilly’s show any more.

    I always turn off the TV when Geraldo’s face shows up. I will not give him a moment of my time. I will, however read your work every day.

    Keep on marching. I’ll keep on reading.

    Please let us know what other Fox shows you will be on (one day, hopefully, your own). Perhaps we can pull an O’Reilly on O’Reilly and boost the ratings of the other shows and watch the Factor become less of one!

    P.S. It is pin head – two words for two reasons:

    1. I did not want to insult pinheads
    2. Bill is in a class of his own on this one.

    That being said, Michelle is in a class of her own as well. No, she is nothing like Coulter (although I love Ann too).

    Ya’ know I was wondering where you were! But it never occurred to me you were fired. Your integrity goes before you Michelle. I knew you walked away from it. And with that in mind, I was so completely disappointed that O’Reilly stood by that emotional windbag rather than you.

    Of course I was diasappointed when FNC stooped so low as to hire him in the first place. When I’d see him on O’Reilly, I figured Bill HAD to put him on to plug Geraldo’s show for FNC. But once I saw the lame Larry King style apology, O’Reilly lost all his credibility with me. I haven’t watched him since.

    Geraldo is like a 7 year old who runs at the mouth, says anything that pops into his emotionally charged brain, and then when he gets in trouble for it, he lies and schmoozes to get out of a spanking.

    FNC just hired him for war time sensational entertainment. Steve Harrigan was the REAL wartime journalist out there. And he wasn’t giving away our troops location. Funny, once the sensationalism of bombs flying died down, FNC didn’t quite know what to do with Mr. G. So they stuck him on late Saturday nights. Isn’t that for started journalists ~ not longtime, bigtime names???

    They know the score. They have too. But I imagine they have a contract with him and they know if they break any part of it, he’ll go whining to some judge and make a media circus out of it.

    Michelle, you so school him in everyway: in class, brains, self-control, analysis. FNC loses on this deal.
