Thuggish Far-Right Intimidation Tactics Go Mainstream

Posted on Jul 6, 2006

The practice of posting the home address of someone targeted for supposed offenses (like being a member of the ACLU), until now practiced mainly by hate groups, has been embraced by “mainstream” pundits like Michelle Malkin and David Horowitz.

This isn’t only a tactic of the right. A bunch of editors at a newspaper in Santa Barbara quit after newsroom employees there were disciplined for printing actor Robb Lowe’s home address. He is friends with the publisher.
