It's called carrying water for the left.

Oh brother. So both liberals and conservatives pick on conservatives????? But liberals never get picked on? Do you have any clue how nonsensical that sounds?

Well, I encourage you to contact YAF and tell them so. I sure had nothing to do with any of this.

He isn't getting blacklisted or tarred as far as I can see...
IF his employer chooses to fire him they are free to do so. But considering that he is the creator of the show I don't think that he will be firing himself.

Yes, but not saying liberals never pick on each other. An actual liberal would be for free speech and freedom of conscious, they would be picked on too.

You could use my words against me, or those of the liberals that seem to inhabit your head. I see you chose the latter.

I chose "controversial and abrasive" because the TOS doesn't allow me to fully express my assessment of Holocaust deniers.

I don't have anything to do with any of it either. You're agreeing with firing Malkin for apparently not agreeing to compelled speech and I'm disagree.

People are perfectly free to express the idea that the Holocaust is a hoax and that Jews are a daily negative influence over their lives. Other people are free to disassociate with that speaker.

Exactly, this is about the woman who described a pretty disgusting jerk and his pretty disgusting racist organization as "patriotic" and called out her own employer for not making room for them. And I'm not talking about "racist" as in "anyone the left disagrees with." I mean a quick perusal of their statements and positions makes it clear they are the genuine article. And instead of admitting she made a mistake in characterizing these loathsome slime as "patriotic," she has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on her attacks on mainstream conservative organizations that have called her out.

Malkin is a Holocaust denier now?
