The show’s starting now; comment below if you’re watching. I’m reliably informed that one guest lobs a sexist insult at Michelle — but a “good,” progressive kind of sexist insult, not a retrograde conservative one. So look out for that.
Video coming as it happens.
Update: All right, here’s the first of two clips, with talk-show host Opio Sokoni. He admits that hip-hop has a problem, then blames it on George Washington. Or something.
Update: And here’s the main event with bottom-feeding Black Panther Malik Shabazz. Don Surber says it better than I:
The guy could not take being pushed around by a woman.
He called her a prostitute.
You could almost feel the delight in her as she knew she had him. She stuck to her guns while he sputtered and locked into the name-calling mode. He is so stuck in the ’60s (although he is far too young to have lived much then) that he could not understand that women really are the equal of men and that they can think for themselves — and mature into the same conservatism that educated men become.
“Delight” is too strong a word, but insofar as Shabazz proved her point for her, there clearly was a glimmer of satisfaction. Just as there’ll be when some of the filthier denizens of the nutroots write posts congratulating him for speaking hate to power. Which they will.
MM told me she has a post in the works about tonight’s taping, so stay tuned. Painfully easy exit question: Surber says it’s time for MM to have her own show. Is he right?
Update: The boss’s post is up. Not much by way of behind-the-scenes gossip, but she does provide some context on Shabazz.

I hope she fires both barrels.
roninacreage on April 12, 2007 at 8:05 PM
She’s the total package!
roninacreage on April 12, 2007 at 8:06 PM
Watching now. It’s all pre-recorded today?
frankj on April 12, 2007 at 8:07 PM
They just had an ad for Red Eye! They’re actually promoting it!
frankj on April 12, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Maybe they are just jealous because She can say “Balls” and not mean a sport
William Amos on April 12, 2007 at 8:15 PM
My Lord! She’s kicking a**!
gatewaypundit on April 12, 2007 at 8:15 PM
Just turned it on. Great stuff
F15Mech on April 12, 2007 at 8:16 PM
She is doing AWESOME!!!!
Does Bill have to come back? (In my most whiney voice)
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:18 PM
So the foul-mouther rap stats are victims of whitey — they’ll lose some street cred over that!
Way to go Michelle!
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:18 PM
Poster 1 — you got your wish. She’s firing with both barrels:)
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:18 PM
…foul-mouthed rap stars…
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Rap music is George Washington’s fault!
That was fun.
frankj on April 12, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Fireworks!
Here is a (warning huge) WMV video of some great European fireworks.
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Some clown just said: “I still say that this is a strong case”
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:21 PM
Shabazz: “I still believe something went criminally wrong in that house. …”
Then something about over X-million black women sexually assaulted by white men ….
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:22 PM
LoL, the Black Panther guy says “1,600,000 black women have been raped by black men and none of them were prosecuted!”
I wish I could make up numbers and be taken seriously.
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 8:23 PM
Shabazz: “No, I do not apologize …”
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:23 PM
Michelle threw it out there and this guy jumped on it.
Blame Whitey
If y’all only knew how hard it was to be a heterosexual, married, Caucasian male, with children, who is a Southern with German ancestry and a military veteran who has seen the inside of a church.
or as the Dems call me
Dumb redneck, Nazi, homophobic, baby killing, Christian fundi.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:24 PM
2nd LoL
Malik Shabazz “It was Neefong who bothced this case…”
Michelle “Nifong”
Malik Shabazz “And Neefong didn’t do his job…”
Michelle “Nifong”
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 8:24 PM
Wow! Just wow! Political prostitute for Bill O’Reilly!!!
WOW
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:24 PM
FIREWORKS! Shabazz calls Malkin “a political prostitute”!
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:24 PM
And there it was!
MM is a whore…how nice.
Chad on April 12, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Zing — there’s only one whore on that split screen! Sick em girl!
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Oh man! There goes the “w” word!
WisCon on April 12, 2007 at 8:25 PM
Wooooow!!!! You are calling me a political prostitute on national TV?
Who is this nut job?
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:25 PM
I think my jaw just hit the floor.
F15Mech on April 12, 2007 at 8:25 PM
GO MICHELLE!!!!!!
Screw O’Reilly, Michelle needs her own show NOW!!
SillyRyno on April 12, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Shabazz: “white male chauvinist racist like Bill O’Reilly”
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Dang Michelle, I am feeling the love!
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Glad he clarified that — defender of women, er, make that black women, er, but only if they’re raped by white men …
What an racist thug.
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:26 PM
Nice… call Michelle a whore right to her face on television… nice.
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Oh no he didn’t!
BlueStateBlues on April 12, 2007 at 8:27 PM
I just couldn’t take that guy seriously. He was like a living straw man.
Still, Michelle schooled that whore.
frankj on April 12, 2007 at 8:27 PM
I’ll be waiting for Sharpton and Jackson to unleash a media firestorm on Malik Shabaz for his bigoted comments towards Michelle…oh wait…nevermind.
Chad on April 12, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Oh, that was GOOD! Attagirl, MM!
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Actually, she said, “You are calling me a whore on national TV?”
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:28 PM
“There’s only one whore on the split screen and it isn’t me!”
Way to go Michelle!
TheBigOldDog on April 12, 2007 at 8:28 PM
I can’t believe the guts MM has.
How does she put up with this stuff?
I hate to say it but, if she were a male she would have dropped a ton of bricks on the guy. Instead, since she is female, she has to beat the guy with her wits…
In some respects, it isn’t fair. In another respect he was doomed… Stupid ass.
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Wait — I didn’t mean “girl” …
Ali-Bubba on April 12, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Thank you Michelle! Now I wish that Fox News would stop giving air time to the likes of Shabazz.
Boomer Sooner on April 12, 2007 at 8:28 PM
I think
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:29 PM
Babs taht “nutjob” is one of the most dangerous men in America. He is Malik Shabazz, head of the New Black Panthers, and trust me if you are white you do not want to run into him or his followers.
I have crossed paths with some of his followers in ATL. They were here after the elderly woman was killed by the police in a drug raid gone bad and they were openly adovcating attacks not only on the police but whitey also.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:29 PM
Can we fast forward Dick Morris?
wytammic on April 12, 2007 at 8:30 PM
So now
OsamaObama got Imus fired? Dick Morris is a twit.db on April 12, 2007 at 8:30 PM
Watching on the West Coast (west side for you rappers and Imus) Best ass kicking I’ve seen Sabazzzzzzz receive — ever. MM is killing tonight.
Sorry Don.
CanaryinaCoalMine on April 12, 2007 at 8:32 PM
The reformation of manners? I don’t know about that one Dick.
WisCon on April 12, 2007 at 8:33 PM
I think Morris is right though… Obama is the defacto Black President and before that Imus was on life support. Obama pulled the plug.
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 8:33 PM
I just found a picture of Malik Shabazz in my dictionary next to the word “racist”.
fogw on April 12, 2007 at 8:34 PM
Michelle- way to stand up to that racist!
NTWR on April 12, 2007 at 8:35 PM
Check under “sexist”… I think you’ll find him there, too!
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:36 PM
If you want real fireworks put Malik Shabazz and Leo Terell together. I think they have been on H&C together before. Trust me intellecutal debate was two words that were not used to describe the spectacle.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:36 PM
So what happens if a black person accuses a Filipino woman of being an O’Riley “puta”
Is that racist, or will he get a pass?
F15Mech on April 12, 2007 at 8:36 PM
Dang. Missing it. My son is watching cartoons. Glad it’s on again in a couple hours. I’ve been waiting for someone to blast Shabazz, and Michelle is the perfect person to do it.
mikeyboss on April 12, 2007 at 8:37 PM
You’ve just got to post the video of Malik Shabazz still being the nut he’s always been.
IndependentConserv on April 12, 2007 at 8:37 PM
You HAVE to put the clip of Shabazz up on the site. Yeah, I saw it. I want to see it again. It was Michelle at her finest! If I were only half as smart as she is well, I don’t know what, just well…
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:37 PM
Just saw it. Good shot Michelle.
Anyone surprised he descended to name-calling? Not me.
CrazyFool on April 12, 2007 at 8:38 PM
Kids protesting immigration policy
Come back when you are old enough to vote. Pfffttt
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:39 PM
Just watched Shabaaz (however you spell it) call MM a whore.
IF this gets me banned, so be it.
I hope that POS racist, hate-monger dies a horrible death.
Talon on April 12, 2007 at 8:40 PM
Mr Hernandez sure does have that puppy dog look down pat.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:40 PM
Oh good grief! Daddy got deported because WE failed to pass imigration reform!!!
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:41 PM
Good job Michelle standing up to the Black Panther who insulted you.
Yakko77 on April 12, 2007 at 8:41 PM
Where do they get these people? Susan Church is a freaking moron.
WisCon on April 12, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Well, this segment she is yelling down a pipe…
No one seems to care what the impact is to American citizens. We should all be ashamed of ourselves because we eat lettuce.
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Did I just see Mr. Hernandez gulp?
Checkmate Michelle.
fogw on April 12, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Violent, over zealous, Draconian prosecution of immigration laws.
AWWWWWWWWWW cry me a river.
(womem talking right now)
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Not buying Hernandez’s argument. Welfare is given to the parents, too.
Not liking the smirk, either.
NTWR on April 12, 2007 at 8:45 PM
FIRECRACKER!
CanaryinaCoalMine on April 12, 2007 at 8:45 PM
Driving while Mexican? If you are not here legally and, if you don’t have a license, isn’t that a crime?
Oh, that’s right, if “driving while Mexican” you should get a pass…
Just ask me… Someone “driving while Mexican” almost killed me and my two young boys.
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:47 PM
They break the law by entering the country illegally, yet they’re…. wait for it….. VICTIMS!
Gee everybody is a victim tonight.
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:47 PM
How come I can’t see new posts until about a half hour after they first appear? I was hitting the refresh buttton constantly since 8:00!
Anyway, Michelle is AWESOME–a natural–and dare I say it: much more effective than Mr. O. It’s time for FOX to give her her own show. There’s a weak link after H&C that MM could fix. (Sorry, Greta, there are only so many autopsies a person can handle.)
IrishEi on April 12, 2007 at 8:47 PM
Neither one of the guests addressed the matter of legality, they jsut did the same old liberal taactic of trying to tug on the heart strings. Sorry I ain’t buying it no more. You will find sympathy right between syphillus and shotput in the dictionary.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:47 PM
Driving while Mexican? Oh nooooz!
Why do people twist into pretzels pointing out 200 symptoms but refuse to name the root problem?
“Well, not enforcing the old laws led us to having all these problems… I know how to fix it! Let’s not enforce the current law and see if the problem goes away!”
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Wa!Wa!Wa!
Round’em up, move’em out! They are called “illegal aliens” for a reason. When we start to pick and choose which laws we are going to follow or enforce then our country is lost.
Oh, wait a minute. . .
bubbadog89 on April 12, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Anyone monitoring Kos and the DU to see how many Agree with Shabazz or shibird or whatever is name is ?
William Amos on April 12, 2007 at 8:50 PM
Greta Van Sustern, your show has been canceled.
Tune in to Fox News next week at 10 for “Michelle has Malkins”
fogw on April 12, 2007 at 8:51 PM
I went last time.
IrishEi on April 12, 2007 at 8:53 PM
The sad thing about this discussion is that people were told by their community leaders to run away or resist the police about 25 years ago. Living in LA I saw many news reports of young men being shot while fleeing.
Who’s fault is that?
I have always told my children that if a police officer tells you to stop, you stop immediately…
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:53 PM
I just posted the Malik-Michelle video!!
gatewaypundit on April 12, 2007 at 8:53 PM
Shabazz… wasn’t that what Robin Williams always said on Mork & Mindy? Wait… no, it was what Gomer Pyle said all the time :^)
db on April 12, 2007 at 8:53 PM
LOL
You should not redeploy for at least 12 months. Thanks for your service IrishEi.
fogw on April 12, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Why didn’t Michelle give the amount of money earned by any conservatives?
John McCain doesn’t count.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Ahrnold made zero????
What is up with that?
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 8:57 PM
Michelle 1, Shabazz 0
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 12, 2007 at 8:57 PM
I checked DU a bit ago, but they’re all having Olbergasms right now.
rw on April 12, 2007 at 8:58 PM
Rachael Ray made $6 million? Her food isn’t even any good.
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 8:58 PM
Bravo Michelle!! Great job tonight!!
db on April 12, 2007 at 9:00 PM
I DEMAND MSNBC AND CBS FIRE SHABAZZ!!!
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 12, 2007 at 9:00 PM
Really good job Michelle. I sure wish you and your crew would go TV.
Babs on April 12, 2007 at 9:00 PM
H&C has Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 9:00 PM
I wonder when Olberman will have Zuniga on as a guest host.
WisCon on April 12, 2007 at 9:01 PM
You know, it’s funny… where are all these people who are getting “poorer and poorer”? I have never heard anyone besides people who were comfortably rich claim that the “middle class” (to which whomever is saying this obviously doesn’t belong) is feeling the squeeze. I’m middle class and I’m doing fine… None of my friends or family are anything that you could call rich, but it’s not like they’re worse off than a year ago, much less feeling a squeeze or projecting their “poverty” problems onto Halliburton.
The whole class warfare thing seems like another chapter in the leftist Metanarrative playing in their heads. “The economy is doing great, but since there are still poor people they must resent the rich for their success.”
Lehosh on April 12, 2007 at 9:02 PM
Holy $hiiit! Michelle, you knocked my socks off! You deserve an Atta Girl! You need your own show, now.
Shabbaz needs a chair on The View between Rosie and Joy.
SilverStar830 on April 12, 2007 at 9:03 PM
There was a heaping help of stupidity on that show.
benrand on April 12, 2007 at 9:03 PM
Tonight on H&C, two guys with radio shows defend Imus.
rw on April 12, 2007 at 9:05 PM
EH- “Apologizing does not give you absolution from consequences”
She’s pretty smart for a blonde
/
LakeRuins on April 12, 2007 at 9:06 PM
That was a Spectacular performance. Totally prepared. Confident. Smooth. Witty. Perfect.
Zorro on April 12, 2007 at 9:08 PM
It’s all whitey’s fAUUULt!
SilverStar830 on April 12, 2007 at 9:09 PM
Fantastic !
Michelle had Malik Shabazz against the ropes, beautiful!
Help me understand this, please. The Black community is “outraged” by Imus’s comments, rightfully so to a degree, but then Shabazz comes on the show and calls Michelle a “Prostitute” ! WTF !!
Shabazz’s “Prostitute” remark once again proves the point that when race baiter’s and liberal progressives loose on the facts they result to race baiting and insults.
