BROOKINGS, S.D.–The South Dakota College Republicans announce that blogger, columnist, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin will be headlining the 2015 College Republican Convention at South Dakota State University.
Malkin will deliver a speech at the SDSU Performing Arts Center 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 2 that is free and open to the public. The event is being hosted by the College Republicans and is co-sponsored with Young America’s Foundation.
“We are thrilled to bring someone of Michelle’s talent, experience, and political insight to South Dakota,” said State College Republicans Chairman Joe Schartz. “Her story should bring people of all political beliefs to SDSU, and we especially hope that students will be interested in hearing about her journey as a conservative writer.”
Malkin is similarly excited to bring her message to the convention. “I can’t wait to visit South Dakota State University and share my story of how and why I believe conservative principles are best for protecting and enhancing individual freedom and prosperity. I’m thrilled by the invitation of the South Dakota College Republicans and impressed with their activism and engagement,” she said.

Congratulations on a quality get !
When Malkin and like minded conservatives hail individual freedom, liberty and patriotism it’s really a thin disguise for plain old selfishness. USA is a great country because we as a group move forward as a group. Not as the selfish and overpriviliged who won’t admit what the country’s opportunities have done to help them. Do your part for USA Ms. Malkin and reject your selfish nature.
What are you talking about?
Who are you, anon? I don’t talk to strangers.
When you posted in this forum, you “talked” to strangers. So much for a leftwing standard of conduct. LOL
good one. i remember the early days of malkin standing up as a national author and spokesperson, calling out cultural hypocrisy in the feminist movement and civil rights movement. she was called something horrible, ” a lipstick wearing bag of meat” or somesuch by then-leading lefty commentator keith olbermann on national television. she sticks to her guns, she faces down those who try and bully her, she keeps speaking truth to oppression. again, she is a great speaker and the hosting group should be pleased with themselves for this.
ooh i remember now, olbermann said ‘mashed-up bag of meat,’ i guess implying some personal misogynistic thing i don’t even want to know about
are you commenting with yourself again?
clarifying. are you trolling again?
