Malkin defames homeless man

Michelle Malkin is an Ann Coulter-style right-wing malcontent and bully. Malkin got a Conservative Fool Of The Day entry because she falsely claimed that the brutal beating of a professor who criticized intelligent design was a hoax, and because she posted the phone numbers of students at yet another school who opposed war recruitment.

Now Malkin is continuing her lifelong pattern of lies that appeal to the bumbling fascists who enjoy her website.

In her latest tantrum, Malkin is criticizing efforts to get the homeless to register to vote. According to Malkin, the homeless don't have a right to vote. Well, you're wrong again, Michelle. Federal law supports this right.

Malkin transcribed an interview with a homeless man in an attempt to make him sound uneducated, and she called him a "thug."

Name one law the man was breaking, Michelle. From the video I saw, I can't find evidence of any. Vagrancy laws were long ago voided under the Constitution's due process provisions (not like they aren't still enforced in some jurisdictions). Even if vagrancy laws had not been ruled illegal, the man would only be considered a vagrant if he was jobless. (One who is homeless despite being employed is not legally a vagrant.) But that's beside the point, since the law was annulled.

Michelle Malkin's grievance is only the latest in the Republicans' ongoing war on voting.
