The Baltimore Sun presents a very fair look at the lovely and multi-talented Michelle Malkin.

A couple of quotes stand out in the article.

. I've lived among many different kinds of people in this country, and it has always been the case -- in life or on the Internet -- that the most vicious attacks I've faced have not come from the archetypal red-necked bigots on the right. It's always been the people who profess to have the best intentions for me and my race and my gender. The loudest cheerleaders for tolerance are the most intolerant of all."

And she is even more explicit in her observation later on.

It also amuses her that so few of her critics realize "I actually believe what I believe." Why, she says, should being born "with brown skin and a uterus" confine her to any particular set of beliefs?

In other words, it isn't her fellow conservatives who hold to stereotyped views of what a woman or an ethnic minority ought to believe. Rather, it is those who rant and rave about diversity who object most strongly to her words -- because she threatens their stereotypical notion of what "diverse" (read that liberal) views she is supposed to bring to the debate because of the color of her skin and her genitalia. And it is why she is regularly berated and attacked in the most vile racist and sexist terms by writers who claim to be opposed to racism and sexism.

Michelle Malkin remains one of the most articulate voices on the right side of the blogosphere -- and this conservative would like to express his appreciation and love for her.
