Displaying the way that repulsive people are repulsive is an entirely different matter than the shock at hearing something totally unexpected coming forth from a icon of classiness.
Malkin herself didn't use the word. There was plenty more objectionable about what Malkin put in that post than the use of the f-word.
You must be trying to miss the point on purpose. For your benefit, I will presume that.

Displaying the f-word spelled out three times as an example of how people are repulsive(there's a lot more she displayed) and telling a dirty joke -- sure there are some differences. But you miss the point.
You don't think that the president and Laura Bush receive hate mail with the f-word? What about Rush Limbaugh? What about FOX news? I don't see them publicly and graphically displaying their obscene mail with all of the vulgarities spelled out. How cheap is that? How vulgar is that? You don't think their's another way to make that point without coming down to the level of the person who sent the e-mail? If they wanted to communicate that they received such obscene hate mail do you think that they would simply say that they received hate mail with obscene words in it or do you think that they would graphically display the hate mail on their website for all the world to see?
Last week I received an X rated pop-up on my computer screen. Using your logic, it would be perfectly okay to post that picture here when bringing the subject up. What Malkin did was equivalent to what Laura Bush did and maybe even worse in that aspect.
You don't get that do you? Or are you a Malkin-bot who feels that she can do no wrong? For your benefit I'll assume you are the Malkin-bot and not a -- dunce!
