Ann Coulter: If Democrats Had Brains, blah, blah, blah

[NickCole]

I'm not sure which moveOn.org add you are referring to.... I think it may be the NY Times ad about General Petraeus. If so, then they are correct in dismissing it.

Republicans didn't "dismiss" it. They hypocritically and deceitfully attacked it. One, the ad made no mention of and certainly didn't denigrate the General's military service but Republicans pretended it did; the ad referred specifically to his Congressional testimony of one occasion. Two, Republicans didn't object at all to the swiftboaters attack ads denigrataing John Kerry's honorable military service, nor did they object to the attacks on Max Cleland by a man who ducked Vietnam while Cleland was serving his country there and losing three limbs in the process. Hypocrites.

Further, Bush & Co used a planted "reporter" to feed Bush a question about the MoveOn ad at the end of a press conference so Bush could deliver a prepared propaganda hissy fit and then scurry away without having to respond to any legitimate reporter's follow-up question about it. It's on YouTube. Watch it. It's silly theater reminiscent of Mission Accomplished. Frauds.

It was funded by a totally radical group and given a break in the cost of the ad by the Times.

So what?

I thought you wanted people to stop pussyfooting around with PC speech.

And why weren't Republicans outraged that Rudy Giuliani got the same cost break for the ad he placed in the NYT in response to the MoveOn ad? Oh yeah. Hypocrites.

I don't know about Coulter trying to salvage the name of Senator McCarthy.... you may know more about that than I do. I don't think that McCarthy savaged lot's of people by name though.... contrary to popular belief.

"Lots" is a vague term. Coulter said McCarthy didn't falsely accuse anyone, by name, of being a communist. That's not true.

He was a grandstander to be sure. He made statements to the presss that didn't have much fact behind them. Not in particulars anyway.... but at that time there were many in our government that backed the Soviet government. Hell man, we all know that FDR's VP, Henry Wallace was a backer of the Soviet government.

Again you're wrong.

Henry Wallace was not "a backer of the Soviet government."

He encouraged the United States to "peacefully" negotiate with them. Big difference.

And Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy while working in the State Department.

For someone who claims that facts are important, you sure ignore them a lot.

Alger Hiss was never charged, much less convicted, of espionage -- or spying. He was charged and ultimately convicted of perjury. There was never conclusive evidence he was a Soviet spy.

Yes, McCarthy was an idiot but what he said was not exactly incorrect.

"Not exactly incorrect." Priceless. Thank you, Karl Rove.

Why didn't the Republicans enact real tort reform? Well man that is a specious question.... you know the reason as well as I do.
The Senate is the real power behind legislation.... and in recent years everyone know that you have to have at least 60 votes. Neither party has had that in recent years.

It's your response that's specious.

Republicans passed "tort reform" protecting gun manufacturers from liability. They had 60 votes. You're wrong that they couldn't get 60 votes when they wanted to.

And education vouchers..... sorry to disagree once again... they are a fine idea.
Why is it wrong that a parent should have an option to get out of the public schools if they don't find them satisfactory?

A parent has the option to get their kid out of public schools anytime they want. All they have to do is earn the money and pay for it.

Taxpayers pay for public schooling. Private schooling is a private concern.

Come, come, now folks. Stay on topic, and keep to dissing Ann Coulter.

 

[PER4MER]

Look for my new book, "If Ann Coulter Had Any Looks, She'd Be Married."

 

[PER4MER]

I love Ann Coulter.....
Yes, she is often provactive.... but she says things that are so un PC..... we need more of that in this world....

She eschews reason and rationality in favor of hyperbole and hurtful invective.

She uses words like "faggot" to demean those with whom she disagrees.

She has made a fortune off of spreading her poisonous rhetoric on the airwaves and in bookstores.

And yet you love her?

You think we need more of her style of hatred?

For the love of all that is good and holy, I don't understand how a gay man could admire and respect someone who is so undeserving of either admiration or respect.

Why do you support someone who has made it so painfully clear that she has nothing but contempt for our community? I know what the easy diagnosis to make would be, but I pray that I'm wrong.

I'm still stymied by the number of straight men who find her attractive.

I don't get it either. Not only that, but straight guys are clueless into the fact that she's a fucking closet lesbian.

I don't get it either. Not only that, but straight guys are clueless into the fact that she's a fucking closet lesbian.

That's kinda insulting.... to my lesbian friends.

 

[PER4MER]

That's kinda insulting.... to my lesbian friends.

Great point.

Besides...Ann's too ugly inwardly to be part of the the Community of Fabulousness.

If Republicans had any brains they wouldn't pay any attention to people like Coulter. Limbaugh, Coulter, et al. are con artists and modern snake oil salesmen. They may have some basic belief in laissez-faire capitalism, but the stuff they spew is just red meat for the true believers.

Coulter and Limbaugh know what buttons to push, know what fears lurk in the hearts of the right wing and like their evangelist and medicine show predecessors they set up their media tent, invite in the rubes and rake in the money.

 

[bike10]

Ms. Ann Counter the female version of Rush Limbaugh but as a "pussy." The far Right of the GOP love Ann and rest of far right mouth pieces. The tell them what they need to know and don't ever think for yourself.

 

[zingerz]

I don't really know why, but i think her next book should be entitled " I survived Abortion " i just have a feeling about this.... , but yeah, her comments are just foolish, she calls herself honest, but really she just enjoys the sound of her own voice.

Eeeek! Everybody run for their lives!

 

[bokan800]

I thought this fucking bitch died of bulimia and anorexia already. Will someone get me a gun and I'll just shoot this republican dog whore in the head and end her miserable pathetic life.

 

[beekman001]

NPR has a weekly piece done by a linguist. About a year ago he took a look at the whole realm of attack-dog infotainment and came to the conclusion that the only proper term for what Anne Coulter, Bill O'Reilly etc are peddling is smut. It's not humor, though they sometimes try to pretend it's satire. The whole group pushes the boundry of civility daily and when someone calls them on the inappropriate remarks tries to pass it off as a joke.

If you put a worm in a pond the same stupid fish take the bait everytime.

 

[star-warrior]

I like her most recent gem:

If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

And look, if anybody knows anything about being a single woman too stupid to grasp how to vote it's Ann "Voter Fraud" Coulter

She's a single woman, ipso facto...

I bet she would claim irony, but the sad fact is, she really is stupid.

 

[Just_Believe18]

Why are you even reporting this, Qixote? Who cares what that ugly person thinks?

 

[Soilwork]

I love Ann Coulter.....
Yes, she is often provactive.... but she says things that are so un PC..... we need more of that in this world.....

Yes yes, I agree.

We need MORE petty name-calling and 3rd-grade bullshit when talking about serious problems. How can we get people involved if we can't break every dicussion down to "NYA NYA YOU SMELL."

we need MORE people to make boorish comments and say things like "You have no brains."

THAT's gonna solve some problems.

 

[star-warrior]

Feed them cock I say. Those right wing closet case shoe tappers and their cheering cohorts need it so badly. I suggest elephant dick. There's more of it, they can identify with it, and maybe, it will stop up their mouths long enough to hear some blessed silence.
