Right-wing female wingnuts

My first real foray into the reading blogosphere, especially using RSS, was when Michelle Malkin published her book, In Defense of Internment, wherein she tries to make the case that the vicious attack on Japanese-Americans during World War II, putting them into concentration camps, was somehow justified on national security grounds. I have no idea how I came upon this tempest that blew through the blogosphere, but it seemed to me to be a far-fetched and lame-brained idea and luckily there were many, far better informed, people who took up the cause.

The best analysis of Malkin's shoddy piece of work was done by the internment experts Eric Muller and Greg Robinson. It can be found here, at Eric Muller's IsThatLegal.org. It pretty much shreds any thread of correctness from Malkin's polemic, and she's been retreating ever since. Of course, right-wing nut jobs still quote it, and I'm sure there are plenty more books out there that use it as a primary source. Ann Coulter would be proud. Say anything, no matter how wrong or badly researched it might be, and someone, somewhere, will quote it as an authoritative source.

I also began reading Orcinus, David Neiwert's blog. Neiwert is a free-lance reporter who's written extensively on the right-wing conspiracy and is one of the few blogs I've ever actually donated money too. He also does a pretty good job on Malkin in many spots. Malkin is probably second only to the despicable Coulter as far as "right-wing female pundits" go, and is equally shoddy in her journalism. I refuse to put a link to Malkin's site here, but I will link to Malkin(s)Watch, which keeps an eye on her more outrageous pronouncements. I wonder if there is something similar for that blowhard Coulter?

Another good spot for Malkin-watching is The Liberal Avenger. There you can find an expose of her and her spouse's subterfuge here?.
