Michelle Malkin Under Attack For Exposing Frost Family

October 10, 2007 @ 6:13 pm

Left-wing blog Crooks & Liars is accusing Michelle Malkin of attacking, among other things, Graeme Frost, the 12-year-old boy who gave the Democratic weekly radio address. He talked about the importance of the SCHIP program. Malkin went to Frost’s house to investigate just how poor he and his family is. In fact she found that not only is his family not poor, they are actually pretty well off.

Malkin was brutally attacked by the blog for just observing the area where the Frost family lives. She did not seek to confront the family. Here is what Malkin wrote about her findings:

I just returned from a visit to Frost’s commercial property near Patterson Park in Baltimore. It’s a modest place. Talked to one of the tenants, Mike Reilly, who is a talented welder. He said he had known the Frosts for 10 years. Business is good, he told me, though he characterized Frost as “struggling.” Reilly was an outspoken advocate for socialized health care without any means-testing whatsoever and an insistent critic of the Iraq war. Despite all that, he did agree with me that going without health insurance is often a matter of choice and a matter of priorities. Or maybe we were speaking two different languages.

I also passed by the Frosts’ rowhouse. There was an “01 - 20 -09? bumper sticker plastered on the door and a newer model GMC Suburban parked directly in front of the house. I’ve seen guesstimates of the house’s worth in the $400,000-plus range. Those are high. But Mark Tapscott’s point remains: “[P]eople make choices and it’s clear the Frosts have made choice to invest in property and a business, but not in private health insurance. The Maryland-administered version of the federal SCHIP program, by the way, does not impose an asset test on applicants.”

However, only months ago Crooks & Liars celebrated a real stalker’s harassment of Bill O’Reilly. Blogger Mike Stark went to Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s home, waited outside for him and then confronted the Fox News host when he came outside to fetch his newspaper.

    Ian,

    One of the people criticizing Michelle happens to Dr. Taylor at Poliblog also. Steven is hardly a leftwinger.

    Another right-winger speaks out against MM… she is just plain sliding down that slippery slope towards irrelevance.

    How much income a family has, what they drive or how much their home appraises for is irrelevant if the health insurance plans they have access to turn them down for coverage due to “preexisting conditions,” or if they don’t have access to employer-subsidized health insurance to begin with.

    In any event, it is so typical of folks like Malkin to attack the messenger in lieu of countering the message. It’s almost as if her goal (and that of Hannity, Coulter, Levin, Savage and every blogger who worked to “blow the lid off” the Frost family) is to dissuade other private citizens from speaking out on behalf of Democrats or against this Administration’s policies.

    Is chilling free speech really the way to prove your side is right?

Got something to say?
