John Cole's right, this Michelle Malkin post, digging into the court records of Cindy Sheehan's divorce (which happened after Casey's death), is pretty damn vile. But in some ways, it's comforting. Michelle Malkin is doing her absolute best to clarify who is good and who is evil here, and she's doing it by being a vicious, repulsive, and base as she possibly can. I'm a little uncomfortable with Code Pink's involvement and the general explosion of Sheehan's encampment, but Malkin's actions seem custom designed to keep my support from flagging. Wherever that evil hack stands, I know I want to be on the other side.
Michelle Malkin is 34 years old. Next year will be her last year to enlist in the US Army (assuming the age limit is not raised to 42, as the military wants). I certainly don't think everyone who supports the war needs to sign up, but those who want to discredit grieving family members of fallen soldiers by telling them what their son would've thought really do have an obligation to enlist. Once they see what Casey saw and go through the firefights and daily struggles he did, they can lay claim to a certain form of insight on how he would've felt. But Malkin didn't do that. Once Cindy made her look foolish for trying to read Casey's mind, Malkin started trying to read Cindy's court documents. If she can't trump a mother's connection to her son, maybe she can destroy the mother so no one cares what connections she might have.
