To the editor:
As a lifelong Democrat and liberal I say, let Ann Coulter speak; she shows and tells the whole world what the conservative agenda is. They are selfish, greedy, uncultured and lusting for all the wealth and power for themselves.
As for the rest of us, I'm sure she might say, like Marie Antoinette did when she was told that the people had no bread, "Then let them eat cake."
Please, please let Ann Coulter speak and show the world what "conservatism" is really all about.
E.G. Hickam,
Lawrence

lefthanded (anonymous) says…
Its fallacy to presume Anne Coulter represents the views of all conservatives. Michael Moore referred to President Bush as Hitler, yet one does not presume this comment is representative of all liberals. Anne Coulter, Michael Moore, Al Franken and the rest are a lot less about politics than they are about selling their latest book or movie. These inflammatory comments are about self promotion and one's name in the spotlight a little longer. When people ignore them, they'll go away.
Anne Coulter is usually funny but her comment regarding John Edwards was disappointing. Wasn't it John Edwards' campaign that had the intolerant or hateful campaign workers bashing Christianity?
temperance (anonymous) says…
You're right -- that totally obscure ex-Edwards campaign blogger (whose name you can't even remember -- Amanda Marcotte) used profanity in some of her blogs. That's totally like the rock star of modern conservativism using a gay slur at the preeminent conservative event in the country. Completely equivalent.
Coulter IS the face of the conservatives. I don't see Democratic presidential hopefuls yucking it up with Michael Moore (your other example).
Coulter is the id of conservatism. You keep her around because she says things that you're afraid to say. This is why hher "joke" got so much applause.
classclown (Class Clown) says…
I suppose that Bill Maher saying that it was too bad Cheney wasn't killed is okay though. You can openly advocate for someone's murder, but don't you dare call someone a fag.
jonas (anonymous) says…
omgwtf!!?!?! People on TV or selling books say outrageous things to garner ratings?!?!?!
C'mon, it's not like any of them actually think half the stuff they say.
satchel (anonymous) says…
At least she didn't pull a Murtha and call him Hitler.
She was referring to someone else, by the way, who called someone that name and ended up in rehab. It was a joke. (Bill Maher was NOT joking when he wished Cheney were hit by the assasin).
Ann thinks that is ridiculous that one would end up in rehab for calling someone a name. Let's face it, everyone is so sensitive and gets their feelings hurt so easily these days.
What is amazing to me is how some of these libs are some of the most vitriolic, name calling, foul mouthed, death wishing people I have ever seen and they always get away with it. Just go over to The Daily Kos and read what the Kos kids say about conservatives. Hop on over to the Huffington Post and read what her liberal friends say.
I will leave you with this comparison:
The left:
burn American flags
compare the president to Hitler
defend misogynist, homophobic, antisemite regimes
leak national secrets to their media outlets
campaign against surveillance of terrorists
join the Nazis and Islamofascists in their campaign against the Jews - sorry - "zionists"
join the fruitcakes in their quest to blame Bush for 9/11
call for the murder of political opponents
campaign for constitutional rights for captured taliban
pray for defeat in iraq
Ann Coulter:
called Edwards a f*#@**
jonas (anonymous) says…
Wow, Satchel, what an amazing find! When you compare MANY people (the "left") to ONE person (Ann Coulter), you get more incidents to compare from! You're a genious!!! It's a good thing we have you here, or we wouldn't be able to distinguish one from many, and the effects that such groupings could have.
Thank you for your. . . . blinding. . . . insight.
temperance (anonymous) says…
"Then Edwards compounded the felony " -- what was the "felony" again? Unnecessary use of hyperbole?
satchel -- The "joke" wasn't about rehab. People weren't laughing at the rehab comment. The joke was: "John Edwards acts like a wimpy woman." It's the analogue to "Hillary is a lesbian." Taunts about sexuality are all that the conservative movement has left.
Yes, the terrible remarks from anonymous commenters in the comment section of the Huffpost are exactly like The Star of Conservativism using an anti gay slur at the biggest conservative event in the country. I can hear Mitt Romney now: "Next you'll hear from some anonymous commenters from the HuffPost! That's a good thing!"
There's no equivalent to Coulter. She IS modern conservativism. And she's embarrassing because modern conservativism is embarrassing -- she says things at the HEART of the movement that no one else dare say.
By the way, Bill Maher didn't say he wished Cheney were dead. You can keep saying he did, but it doesn't make it so. If he said it, you'd use the exact quote instead of innuendo.
BigAl (anonymous) says…
People like Ann Coulter and Michael Moore should be ignored and NOT be given all the air time that they get. Actually, Ann Coulter gets quite a bit of air time from FOX. You really don't see much of Michael Moore on the so-called liberal media. But, FOX props up Ann Coulter like a rock star.
Ann Coulter is a man-hating, far- far right, foul mouthed witch. There is nothing funny about the woman.
ksmoderate (anonymous) says…
Well said Big Al!
BigAl (anonymous) says…
Dick Morris was fired by the Clintons and has been an opponent of Hillary for years. His "documentary" should be taken for what it is. Again, he is also propped up by FOX. This man is on O'Reilly and Hannity a lot but they never mention that he was fired by the Clintons. Hannity likes to say that he is a former WhiteHouse employee for Pres Clinton. Just a little misleading.
My point about Michael Moore is that he doesn't appear on hardly ANY television. nbc, cbs, abc... none of them prop him up like FOX does Ann Coulter. This is a prime example of FOX being biased.
By the way, I am not stading up for Hillary at all. I could care less what network she appears on.
paladin (anonymous) says…
Its very ironic for Ann Coulter to be cracking wise about another person's gender identity. Andy? Look at the hands, the Adam's Apple, other physical features. The voice? For those of you who truly admire Ms? Coulter and want to be more like her, emulate her, here are some useful links.

jonas (anonymous) says…
Big-Al: For the sake of total accuracy, I would say that calling Ann a man-hater is inaccurate. To take her at her word, she pretty much hates everybody. I'm sure she likes, or at least says she does, some mythical pure-conservative person, but since those people don't actually exist, I'll just say everyone.
Not that I see her as having any integrity in her words, anyway.
Porter (anonymous) says…
Besides all the ridiculous hyperbole and talk-radio blowhard transcript fodder, satchel includes "leaks national secrets to the media" as a leftist activity.
I'm sure you're aware, satchel, but I'll remind you. Scooter Libby and Dick Armitage work for the Bush administration. They're not liberals just because they lied.
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
Michael Moore. Ann Coulter. Same thing. It amazes me anyone takes them seriously. Moore was partially responsible for Bush getting reelected. Coulter is going to do her best to get a Democrat elected. A lot more money and fame being on the outside of the establishment with these clowns. Both are very smart and know how to play the media.
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
I forgot to preface... I agree with Big Al.
Also, Michael Moore is just laying low till the this election cycle gets going a bit more and some candidates thin out (remember... he backed Gen. Clark in the last election). I'm sure he'll come out with another movie. Then it'll be 24/7 Moore time on TV.
OldEnuf2BYurDad (anonymous) says…
As a moral conservative, I have to admit that I agree with a lot of the liberal on this topic. I think homosexuality is unnatural and sinful, but I don't think that gives anyone license to use slurs. Gays are people, too, and the Bible says "show respect to all men".
"People like Ann Coulter and Michael Moore should be ignored and NOT be given all the air time that they get."
Smartest post of the day. NOT good representatives of anyone but themselves, which is exactly who they care the most about. "Look at me, look at me."
Sigmund (anonymous) says…
So Edwards is gay, so what?
BigDog (anonymous) says…
That would be yes. Then Edwards compounded the felony by refusing to fire the two immediately. Instead, it took a couple more weeks to pressure them into resigning so Edwards wouldn't have to publicly admit to having made a huge mistake. But guys like EG just skip right past stuff like that."
Wow, once again Pilgrim shows how much he hates America and free speech. Thanks for showing us just how big an anti-American fool you really are.
******************************
Wasn't Ann Coulter also exercising her freedom of speech rights?
It goes both ways. I don't agree with anything the Phelps family says but I'll defend their right to say it. That is what freedom of speech is about ..... its not about being politically correct all of the time and only saying things that people agree with.

I think it's *just about* time that the wheel of karma (figuratively here) run over Coulter, crack her spine like a Nabisco Saltine, and neutralize her. The historical precedent is there:
* The self-righteous preaching against Clinton's dalliances were closely followed by Newt's third marriage (and to an intern, no less), Limbaugh's fourth (or is it fifth now?), the "youthful indiscretion" of Henry Hyde, Bob Livington, Bob Barr, yadda yadda yadda
* Rush Limbaugh's oxycontin feeding frenzy, and Dominican Republic/Viagra "sex trip"
* O'Reilly's proclivity for all things vibrating, battery-operated, and insertable
The louder and nastier they preach, the bigger and more bombastic their fall.
I give Coulter until the end of the next election cycle. The scandal will be sexual in nature.

Yeah, those Conservative Republican extremists are wonderful, aren't they?
self-righteous_thinker, I think you inferred wrong: Most of the "looney far-left, secular-progressives," as well as moderates like myself, have seen Christian extremists as "a totally violent, extremist, tyrannical and deadly force" long before the day GWB took the oath of office. For me, my "awareness" began sometime in the late '80s. July 1992 was quite pivotal in all this, as well:
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_ki...
I can't answer for "far-left SP" windmills you tilt at like a drunken Don Quixote, r_t... but I don't think GWB has "turned any worms" in Christianity. Mainly because GWB has acquired most of what he's attained in this life by using other people, delegating responsibility, and getting handouts from parents, business partners, friends, associates, underlings etc. GWB isn't evil--he's just a misguided slacker who's finally gotten in way over his head. Sadly, he has an entire nation futilely treading water with him, this time.
As to what Ann Coulter can or can't eat... I wouldn't know. Judging by the pictures, though, I'd say the correct answer is, "not much." Maybe she has a disease of her own that needs "snuffing out."

Or RT: "Ann Coulter can eat any far-left, Bush-hating, secular-progressives' lunch in about one second ...... you all know it's true." What does that mean? She has better ideas? She's a better name-caller? Not afraid to call people "ragheads" or make fun of 9/11 widows? What's the "lunch," exactly.

Your sentence would be more persuasive if:

2) If you had any evidence (polling data, interviews, statistics, anything) that supported your statement.

Then, they add, "And if you're 'homophobic', that means you're, um, uh, a repressed homosexual! Yeah, that's the ticket!"

BEsides, Ann Coulter, even were she to be the most physically attractive woman on the planet, would still be darn ugly. She is a hateful, spiteful bigot....that in and of itself makes one ugly.

Poor liberals get called a name and they just fall to pieces.
I think people are upset because of the derogatory use of the word in general, not because it was directed at Edwards. I people found it to be appalling that the word was used and that people feel that is a joke....Jokes generally are considered funny by the majority of people who hear it. I am guessing that even people in Coulter's own party did not, in general, find her to be funny.

"This makes it official: It's illegal to be Republican.
Since Teddy Kennedy walked away from a dead girl with only a wrist slap (which was knocked down to a mild talking-to, plus time served: zero), Democrats have apparently become a protected class in America, immune from criminal prosecution no matter what they do.
As a result, Democrats have run wild, accepting bribes, destroying classified information, lying under oath, molesting interns, driving under the influence, obstructing justice and engaging in sex with underage girls, among other things."

No, the real press Kerry got was a calculated attack on his military service--the same attack that will be launched (and by the same people, I predict) against John McCain in the next 12 months.
Before the Swifties, however, the Conservaturd propaganda machine tried to peddle a different fairy tale against Kerry:
http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/politic...
*****************************************
My [Alexandra Polier] final call, inevitably, had to be to Matt Drudge, who said he couldn't talk for long as his father had just arrived for the weekend. In fact, we spoke for nearly 40 minutes. "In retrospect, I should have had a sentence saying, 'There is no evidence to tie Alex to John Kerry.' I should have put that," he told me. Then he added, "If Clark had not gone out there and said, 'Kerry is going to bomb,' I never, ever, would have gone anywhere near this." Once he'd posted his initial story, he was then encouraged and gratified by the prompt coverage in the UK press. "When the London Times made it a banner headline, like we're going to war, I realized this must be true. Murdoch is going all the way with this! For me to do media coverage was one thing, for them to jump from media coverage to say this is actually an affair between her and him and all the rest was something else!"
*****************************************
Neocons are the scum of the Earth, and they are slowly eroding the United States of America into a pseudo-religious fascist state. The "liberal media bias" fairy tale is a con, a fabricated tale, meant to distract voters from the huge whoppers dreamt up by the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Drudge, Hammity, O'Reilly and Coulter.
If Edwards makes any headway in the polls, they will try to invent some sort of sexual scandal around him. Heck, Marion's already trying to do it himself.

Ann Coulter, as an individual, is inconsequential and irrelevant. Her function as an archetype of mythical status and function is, however. She/He acts and fills the role of a mother figure to the alienated and disenfranchised and the politically and morally traditionalist individuals who perceive themselves to be "conservative" American citizens. Their anger, frustration, anxiety and fears are projected onto her/his persona which becomes a characterization of their own inner turmoil. As "Mom", she will take care of them and make everything right and seek and get revenge in the process. She is only an extension of and external manifestation of their negative selves. And she/he capitalizes on this, bigtime, by manipulating and using them for her own benefit. Don't give her that control over you. You give to her her power and potential for influence and evil behavior. Take back you own destiny, because she, and other archetypes like her, are surely taking it, and have been for some time, from you. If you do not, your beloved America will surely be lost.

scenebooster: You're being deliberately obtuse, and I believe that you know it. I'll spell it out for you, just to attempt to put an end to it. It is a two part, conditional sentence "if Cheney died" "more people would live." The "if" in the first question strips him of any straight literal interpolation towards him saying Cheney should be dead, but with the conditionality of the second clause of the sentence Maher either A) Wishes Cheney was dead, or B) Wishes there were more "other people" that were dead, as those are the two possible results of the conditional clause. His desire in this is inherent in the utterance of the sentence in the first place.
It was a stupid thing to say, and there is no way that he, you, or anyone else knows if it is factually true. He was just trying to shock and get people to talk about him, just like Ann Coulter.
Can we drop this now? It's really a very silly argument that you're trying to engage in.

Allright. I'm going to spell this out very clearly, and please try to read and think about this before you launch off in reaction. By other places, I was referring to other places our military might be right now. I don't know if you remember this far back, but on 9/11 it wasn't really Bush who started the war, but an Islamic terrorist group. I am going to say, though you are free to question this if you really want, that Bush being in office was irrellevent to the reasons the terrorists attacked us. By that logic, should Gore have been in office, the terrorists would still have attacked us on 9/11. Gore would have reacted in some fashion, and we probably would have gone to Afganistan. We might actually still be there in force, stabilizing the region. We might have moved into Pakistan, hunting for Bin Laden. Hell, Gore might have thrown up a smokescreen like Bush did with Iraq, and we could be Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc etc. Who the hell knows. Not me.

Right_thinker,
Have you noticed how the left is always actively seeking to portray themselves as victims. They spew hate, intollerance and generally negative ideas then squeal that conservatives have made them victims. WTF?
Interesting that the forum police officer is the biggest offender.
RT, is scenebooster for real? I mean, do ideologue hippies like that still exist? Probably only in Lawrence, aye.
I believe you have drawn the anger of many of the liberals here because you are correct...the girls of the GOP are generally hot while the DNC girls are not. Would you want to be reminded that your women were horrific freaks of nature? So perhaps we should cut them a little slack, if a freak show is all they can muster then we'll overtake them easily in a couple more years. Who would want to procreate with a liberal chick?"
Obamillary, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Your first paragraph runs fully contradictory to your last....
"Have you noticed how the left is always actively seeking to portray themselves as victims. They spew hate, intollerance and generally negative ideas then squeal that conservatives have made them victims"
but then you go on to spew vitriole yourself:
"the girls of the GOP are generally hot while the DNC girls are not. Would you want to be reminded that your women were horrific freaks of nature? So perhaps we should cut them a little slack, if a freak show is all they can muster then we'll overtake them easily in a couple more years. Who would want to procreate with a liberal chick?"
Not that it really needs to be said, but again, it is truly irrelevant to ANY political discussion what people look like. I could certainly also state that GOP men are generally not hot, while the DNC men are, but A) that is irrelevant and B) probably not true that either is "hotter" than the other.
Let me just add these to my lists of hateful things said about liberals on this site:
Their "girls" are "horrific freaks of nature"
"the girls of the GOP are generally hot while the DNC girls are not"
"if a freak show is all they can muster then we'll overtake them easily in a couple more years"
"Who would want to procreate with a liberal chick?"
In answer to your last statement, the majority (though not all) of my friends are liberal. So apparently the husbands of my liberal friends wanted to procreate with them....
Also, I doubt even conservative women like being referred to as "girls".
So if you are the "conservative" forum PD, shoudl you not follow your own complaints and stop issuing unsolicited derisive manifestos about liberals.
Tell me something new.

video compilation: Fox News Devoted 12 Times More Coverage To Anna Nicole Than Walter Reed
Our national media embarrassment was again on full display on Friday. Both MSNBC and Fox News devoted more coverage to Anna Nicole Smith - three weeks after her death on Feb. 8 - than they did to the multiple developments involving the neglect and deplorable conditions at Walter Reed military hospital.
The most lop-sided coverage by far was aired by Fox News, which featured only 10 references to Walter Reed compared to 121 of Anna Nicole - roughly 12 times the coverage. MSNBC featured 84 references to Walter Reed and 96 to Anna Nicole.
References to Anna Nicole and Walter Reed on cable networks on March 2:
network ____anna nicole ___walter reed
fox news ________121 ___________10
msnbc ____________96 ___________84

NBC's "Nightly News" won the evening-news ratings race, averaging 9.9 million viewers (6.9, 13).

Fox News ratings
take a steep tumble
Its audience is down 24 percent from a year ago
By Kevin Downey
Nov 2, 2006
October was the 10th anniversary of Fox News, and in that 10 years it has risen to the No. 1 cable news network, riding on the tagline "Fair and Balanced."
Yet Fox News is showing serious signs of aging, led by steep audience declines.
Fox News's total audience fell 24 percent in the past year, to 1.3 million viewers from 1.7 million, and its key primetime audience, viewers ages 25-54, was down 7 percent in October on a year-to-year basis, to an average 363,000 viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research data.
In third quarter, Fox News suffered a 38 percent decline in 25-54s, to 409,000. In second quarter, that audience was down 22 percent and in first quarter it slid 28 percent. It is still No. 1 by a long shot.
Fox attributes the 2006 declines to a soft news year compared to 2005, which saw audiences shoot up during events like Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tsunami and the death of Pope John Paul II.
Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming at Fox News, tells Media Life: "The numbers that everybody goes by are year-to-year numbers, and 2005 was an incredible year for news compared to 2006."
But Fox's problems go deeper than that. If it was just the dearth of big stories this year, all the other cable networks would be down as well. Two were actually up in October.
CNN has also been down steeply this year in total viewers and 25-54s but not as much as Fox, and in October its 25-54 primetime audience was essentially flat at down 1 percent.
And both Headline News and MSNBC were actually up in that demo last month, by 18 percent and 19 percent.

This is unbelievable, three days of discussion on Ann Coulter. She would love all of this attention.

Nah, they're just self-deluded. Or maybe they own stock in defense contractors:

Hey there, r-t. How goes it? I was just thinking that since you have pretty much exhausted all of the ridiculous rhetoric here, maybe you should jump over to the Gingrich story and make yourself look a fool there, too. Here's a test: can you defend him without mentioning Clinton? Not that anyone bought it, but he sure squirms to try to take it out of context.
Crispian (Crispian Paul) says…
Marion,
I notice you seem continually obsessed by who is gay or not gay....I have seen you make these comments before. You also appear obsessed with whether women are fat or not.
Who knows if Edwards is gay...maybe he is, maybe he isn't. If he was, would that make it any better that Coulter used the word in a vry derogatory fashion at a VERY public gathering? She basically used sarcasm to say that this word should be allowed to be freely used. Well, freedom of speech says yes, but for most thinking adults, I would propose that social mores dictate no.
Are you gay Marion? You have been asked this before and dance around as well. Quite frankly, I really couldn't care. Most gay men love me.

Coulter is overbearing...................but better to hear her dumb remarks than the inane remarks of Senators Kennedy, Reid, Durbin, Shumer,Clinton or the other creeps.
Wish she'd shut up though!

No, Crispian, I am decidedly heterosexual, having a preference for long, thin, blue-eyed blondes, preferably, two at a time.
Darn, Marion. I guess I don't stand a chance with you *sobbing*.
I am a tall, well endowed brunette with green eyes. Suppose that according to some of the theories posited here, I am probably ugly and fat, seeing as how I am a liberal.

More of Marion's incredible logic and reasoning.

Not much point talking to a wall...
Agnostick (anonymous) says…
No, Marion. Unlike you Neocon extremists, I only have one face to choose from.
And it's the same face for both "public" and "private" functions.
"Thanks"

I just had to check in on this thread to see how in the world over three hundred comments could be posted about Coulter. Only to find the only answer possible, Marion ranting about his "love life", sad old man is way off topic again blabbing about his alledged personal life. Yet Marion you are always the first one to charge the LJW with running stories about personal interests and "free advertising".

Elvis H. Presley!! Give this BS a rest why don't ya.
Marion, though I can't imagine why you are so relentless in your persuit of an answer, to answer your burning question about Edwards' orientation: I have extraordinarily accurate gay-dar and Edwards is no-where on the screen, not one blip.
He's a hottie. If he weren't married he definitely be do-able.

"He's a hottie. If he weren't married he definitely be do-able."
You sound like a man who knows what he wants.

I'm all woman, SFB

Don't feel bad, boldaq, someone may mistake you for a man someday, too.

Well yes, staff, I can.
Newt didn't lie to a federal judge about his extraterrestrial affair.
You guys are just simply the best---what else can I say?!?!
------------------------------------------
So you're okay with extramarital affairs?
Wow, I'm a "raging secular progressive liberal libtard loony lefty," and I don't think it is ok. And you guys like to harp about your values...
Mkh (anonymous) says…
324 comments on the thread, and guess what, your still off topic talking about yourself, Marion/RT. I understand you guys are lonely, but do you have to pollute Every thread with this junk?
