She's also got a post up, "Left: The NYC Muslim cabbie stabbing was right-wing ISLAMOPHOBIA!…oh, wait a minute…"
And apparently Michelle's struck a nerve. Think Progress is all up in arms, to say nothing of the vile commenters there. The second and third set of comments begin at #37 and #49:

So some right wing wacko finds out a cab driver is Muslim, so he slashes the cab drivers throat and in Malkin’s twisted little mind the real story is the commentary at a progressive web site?
What if a left wing wacko who happened to be a Muslim found out a cab driver was a Christian and slashed his throat, would Malkin than say that the real story is the commentary at a conservative web site?
Folks, if Malkin’s comment doesn’t show you where this country is heading, if the republicans get back in charge, nothing will.
I am actually shocked by her moronic commentary.

Sure several of us (myself included jumped to conclusions) but considering the rhetoric from Malkin’s side it was a very easy thing to do.Though I find it pathetic that she chooses to nitpick our comments and ignores stuff like this on her own blog. This is from the article that TP linked to:

I do believe Limbaugh, Beck and Gingrich we’re only mentioned by maybe three of the regulars, so thanks for pointing that out and it’s sad that you chose to ignore both the serious posters who were condemning the irrational bigotry coming from your side as well as the bigotry coming from pseudo-conservative trolls who were using terms like “muzz” to paint all Muslims as extremists. - dasm says:
Malkin somehow misses the real point: Fox, Limbaugh, Beck, Palin, etc. actually ARE inciting hatred towards Muslims (& others)with inflamed rhetoric, lies, exaggerations, & personal attacks. They deserve to be called on it. This is their/her way of absolving themselves of ALL responsibility for the hatred & racism & violence they promote. All their vicious lies & smears are recorded, but still they deny, deny, deny. And, of course, attack others who mention it.

August 26th, 2010 at 11:23 am Leaving aside her lack of decency and hypocrisy on the issue of comments on her blog, how can she look into the camera and say that the aggressive rhetoric the Right has been putting on the news over the NYC Mosque story had nothing to do with this? I mean, when you continually use incendiary rhetoric and someone finally starts a fire, how can you feel shocked when people connect the dots?

Pass the bilge, TP, and keep it coming. It’s one of the best ways we have for human decency to prevail in this poor, whipsawed country. We can do it… when push comes to shove, THERE ARE STILL A LOT MORE OF US THAN OF THEM!
We just have to stop bickering, or feeling sorry for ourselves because our pet idea has been bypassed or not fully implemented, or becoming so sickened by the whole mess that we disassociate. We have to stay alert, and to prevail, unless we want to wake up some morning in THEIR world…

I would add to my comments that we should be more judicious in our posts so that Malkin cannot point to shrill comments and name calling on the blog. Otherwise it is easy to characterize TP by the worst posts.

Malkin is another copy of Ann Coulter.
They both make their living attacking others, and write worthless books.
Malkin is a hate writing specialist, just like Coulter.
I remember when Malkin accused Rachael Ray two years ago of being a Palestinians sympathizer ,and went further to suggest that Rachael is a terrorist sympathizer for wearing a Kaufya scar.
Something toursits buy when they go to the Middle East as a souvenir,and can be bought in many Middle Eastern shops in America.
Instead of blaming the existing Muslims hate euphoria which started by exreme Right wing elements,she instead blaming TP commenters.
The attack on Cab driver in city of NY was a result of relentless attacks on Muslims for over two months supported by networks like Fox and others,and by racist politicians like Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin who were fueling hate.
If Malkin and her Fox network buddies cannot see the link between their hate, racism selling, and the attack on cab driver, then something indeed is wrong with their thinking.
I don’t care if the attacker is Tea Party member or not..but I know that he was motivated by the climate created by the people Malkin is defending like Gingrich,Limbuagh and yes Fox.
Fox might not have told this guy to go and attack the driver, but Fox has been telling people nationwide for months that by allowing Muslims to build their center you are allowing them to take over your country,not to forget all the scare about Sharia law and rewarding Bin Ladin…etc..etc.
Gingrich said using Cordoba’s name symbolizes conquesring of this country.Malkin is trying to look innocent,but we got here by the words and work of these hate-mongers,who are trying to deflect accusations of having their hands full of all of this hate-mongering campaign against Mulsims.

At the very end of the video, it's said the lefty drunk slashed the throat of the cabbie who didn't think the mosque should be built there.

It's definitely "rough out here!" as I hear you say sometimes, Doc. This string of vile comments amounts to nothing more than white noise after a while, each attempting to outdo the next ...juvenile hatemail...and does nothing to advance an intelligent argument and doesn't offer a single truth.
