A crazy truther mob attacked Michelle Malkin at the Denver Mint. Watch the whole video:

In the midst of the chants of “Love, Peace, Justice” were chants of “KILL MICHELLE MALKIN!”.

But these are peace activists, right?

Best quote (from Michelle, of course):

It’s not going to make me leave, so shut up.

I didn’t think it was possible to think Michelle was much awesomer than I already did, but there you go. She didn’t even flinch. Didn’t get rattled. Just kept on going.

What’s really sad is that the police did nothing… didn’t intervene when a mob was screaming for an innocent person to be killed, when they surrounded her and wouldn’t let her leave. The police did nothing.

Yet strangely, this is unsurprising. It’s exactly what we’ve all expected would happen in Denver this week.

Michelle presents the Obama gaffe machine today by giving us a very small sampling of the many, many gaffes Obama has made throughout his campaign. Somehow, he’s still the Democratic nominee (let’s not kid ourselves otherwise).

Here’s a bit of what Michelle pointed out (read the article to see them all):

All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of “potatoe.” The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush’s questions about new scanner technology at a grocers’ convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.

But what about Barack Obama? The guy’s a perpetual gaffe machine. Let us count the ways, large and small, that his tongue has betrayed him throughout the campaign:

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

Make sure to read the whole thing.

Hat Tip: Hot Air Headlines

Michelle Malkin and Hot Air have issued a call to arms: a movement created to pressure the government to deport convicted criminal aliens.

We’ve seen it over and over again the past few months: illegal aliens killing someone while driving drunk; rapists; murderers — most of them with past convictions who not only were not deported, but allowed to walk the streets, free again.

Michelle’s column explains why we need to act:

My fellow Americans, we have a problem. We spend billions of dollars on homeland security, but our government can’t even track and deport convicted criminal aliens. These are not the well-meaning “newcomers” who just want to “pursue economic opportunities” by “doing the jobs no one else will do.” These are foreign-born thugs, sex offenders, murderers, and repeat drunk drivers who are destroying the American Dream.

…

The terrible kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Zina Linnik in Tacoma, Wash., on July 4th is a typical example of the criminal alien revolving door. Terapon Adhahn, Linnik’s suspected kidnapper and killer who allegedly snatched her from the backyard of her home, is a permanent legal resident from Thailand. He was convicted of incest in 1990. Adhahn had sexually attacked his 16-year-old relative and pleaded down from a second-degree rape. Two years later, he was convicted of intimidation with a dangerous weapon. Section 1227(a)(2)(C), Title 8, of the U.S. code dealing with immigration states: “Any alien who at any time after admission is convicted under any law of…using, owning, possessing, or carrying…any weapon, part, or accessory which is a firearm or destructive device…in violation of any law is deportable.”

But Adhahn was not deported. In fact, as Lorie Dankers, spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Seattle, admitted: “He escaped our attention.”

Just like illegal alien gangster Mwenda Murithi , who was arrested 27 times without deportation before being arrested in the shooting death of 13-year-old innocent bystander Schanna Gayden last month in Illinois.

Just like illegal alien thug Ezeiquiel Lopez, who built up a six-year rap sheet without deportation before being arrested in the murder of Deputy Frank Fabiano two months ago in Wisconsin.

Just like illegal alien Juan Leonardo Quintero, who had been previously deported after committing crimes from indecency with a child to driving while intoxicated, but who traipsed back into the U.S. last fall and was arrested after allegedly shooting Houston police officer Rodney Johnson four times in the head during a routine traffic stop.

…

It is not “anti-immigrant radicals” who are fed up with the failure to kick out and keep out criminal aliens. Zina Linnik’s uncle, Anatoly Kalchik, points out that his family was a family of legal immigrants who all obeyed the laws. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported: “Zina’s uncle was angry that the suspect had not been deported after being convicted in a sex crime. “We are all immigrants, but we come legally,” Anatoly Kalchik said of his family. He added that the adults all cleared a criminal background check. ‘If someone is a sex offender, or any kind of offender, he has no business being in America,’ he said.”

…

Rep. David Price, a North Carolina Democrat, is sponsoring legislation to require monthly prison and jail checks by DHS to track incarcerated illegal aliens, increase spending on criminal alien deportations, and expand a program known as 287(g) to encourage more local and state officials to cooperate with the feds to help identify and deport criminal aliens in their hometowns.

Why the hell aren’t we doing all this already? How many more innocent lives will be taken or ruined before we do?

After the defeat of the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill last month, I received tons of e-mail from readers asking: “What can I do?” Answer: Don’t wait for Washington. Sign up to help pressure our government to rid this country of convicted criminal aliens at www.deportthemnow.com.

For Zina. For Schanna. For Deputy Fabiano. For Officer Johnson. For our safety, sovereignty, and the protection of the American Dream for those who deserve it.

Make sure the read the column in its entirety.

Michelle is right — this has gone on far too long. Since the government won’t act, its time that we do. Visit Deport Them Now and together, we can send a powerful message to the government that they cannot ignore.

UPDATE: From Michelle Malkin, of course, who has been liveblogging all day:

Somber Harry Reid: “Mr. President, this has been a very difficult time…I was hoping that my friends on the other side of the aisle that a small group shouldn’t dictate what happens around here.”

Um, yeah.

“We’re going to keep the bill off the Senate floor.” Proposes having more GOP amendments. “Hopefully, we can do that in the next several weeks…One of my colleagues who has worked very hard on this came into my office and shed some tears.”

Bets, anyone? Mine: Lindsay “Hissy Fit” Graham.

Reid extols the DREAM Act provision in the bill that promises illegal alien college tuition discounts not available to Americans and law-abiding immigrants–in violation of a federal ban on such special treatment.

Whines some more about lack of support for his cloture vote.

Reid vows that he will “put aside hurt feelings” and “move on with the anticipation that this bill is something that the country needs” and “hope we can figure out a way to do it.”

Thank God. Reid has said that if this final cloture failed, he will drop the bill. While it can of course resurface again, this was their best chance to force it through. The closer we get to election season, the more scared Republican senators will be of alienating their base, although they have already done that anyway. Right now, I — and a lot of other conservatives — are breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Michelle Malkin has been liveblogging from the Senate floor:

I liveblogged the vote on the Coburn amendment earlier this morning. The roll call deserves its own separate post. Everything you need to know about your US Senators’ commitment to the rule of law is right here. Note that GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain didn’t bother to cast a vote:

The Coburn Amendment states:

EXISTING LAW.–The following provisions of existing law shall be fully implemented, as previously directed by the Congress, prior to the certification set forth in paragraph (1):
(A) The Department has achieved and maintained operational control over the entire international land and maritime borders of the United States as required under the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-367)

(B) The total miles of fence required under such Act have been constructed.

(C) All databases maintained by the Department which contain information on aliens shall be fully integrated as required by section 202 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1722).

(D) The Department shall have implemented a system to record the departure of every alien departing the United States and of matching records of departure with the records of arrivals in the United States through the US-VISIT program as required by section 110 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1221 note).

(E) The provision of law that prevents States and localities from adopting “sanctuary” policies or that prevents State and local employees from communicating with the Department are fully enforced as required by section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1373).

(F) The Department employs fully operational equipment at each port of entry and uses such equipment in a manner that allows unique biometric identifiers to be compared and visas, travel documents, passports, and other documents authenticated in accordance with section 303 of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (8 U.S.C. 1732).

(G) An alien with a border crossing card is prevented from entering the United States until the biometric identifier on the border crossing card is matched against the alien as required by section 101(a)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(6)).

(H) Any alien who is likely to become a public charge is denied entry into the United States pursuant to section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(4)).

Here are the GOP senators who opposed it (I won’t list the Dems, because we all know they hate America already):

So I guess now the big question is, who will replace Rosie on The View? My guess is it will be another conspiracy-theorist liberal. The first guest host they had to fill in for Rosie’s now-vacant spot was Whoopi Goldberg, who is definitely drinking the Kool-Aid.

You know who I would love to see join the panel? Michelle Malkin or Mary Katherine Ham. Seriously. They’re both smart, talented, beautiful women who could eat Joy Behar and Baba Wawa for breakfast — and then, the panel would actually be (gasp!) balanced, as far as the conservative-liberal ratio goes. Ratings go up whenever there are heated debates, right? I’m sure there’d be a lot more than that when you put a strong conservative voice on the panel along with the moonbat liberals.

Unfortunately, it is never going to happen. They’ll find someone else who has the same opinions as Rosie and poor Elisabeth will be there all by herself.

Mary Katherine Ham and Michelle Malkin: next hosts of The View
