According to Ann Coulter
In a recent column about abortion, "Even when dealing with lawless tyrants, CONSERVATIVES HAVE A FETISH ABOUT FOLLOWING THE LAW." Thought you might like to know that. Her latest screed, which I foolishly read, displays her amazement that only seven people have been killed in attacks on abortion clinics. God Bless those law abiding conservatives.

Well, gosh I guess we'll have to rethink all this. If they've only killed 7 innocent people, well, golly that's hardly nothing.

You're right-- Conservatives have only ADVOCATED killing Liberals-- their minions haven't actually gone out & done it recently. Good point.

9. Versus how many anti-abortionists killed for excercising their rights?
By whacked-out pro-choice activists? I believe the answer to that is zero, although the antis would probably cite Paul Hill as an example. Speaking of whom, I hope he likes his eternal afterlife on the warm and toasty side.

10. Coulter's best quality...
...and come to think of it, her only quality, is her penchant for unintentional humor. When Rush got "busted," she got wound up in the question of whether to send him up the river, "It's like if my mother murdered somebody. I wouldn't want her to go to jail."

11. Anti-abortionists who commit such crimes against fellow Americans
should be treated as domestic terrorist. It's just that simple for me! There was a case several years ago in CA which didn't get national attention, where a mother of two placed a burning paper through the mail slot of an abortion clinic where thousands of dollars of medical and office equipment where incinerated. She got two years probation. Now if a nineteen year old troublemaker decided to do the same but with no political motives behind the act, it would have carried a much stiffer sentence.

14. Does it even matter
Ann Coulter, as does Moore and Franken, speak only to a niche audience. Therefore, they will never have much influence in serious political or social discussions.
I do have to admit, having seen all three in action, Ann could take Michael and Al simultaneously with half her brain tied behind her back. She’s whip-leather tough.

24. Like her or not, she does have a brain and a lot of courage.
I have yet to see Al or Michael debate anyone without a liberal panel/host covering their back. Ann will take on anyone, spank’em hard, and do it alone.

26. Coulter is a total coward and couldn't enter into a real debate.
She would be nailed by her lack of facts and outrageous assertion! She hides behind a pseudo-intellectualism because most her fans are too ignorant to realize how shallow and phony she is!

38. shock politics isn't a sign of courage
Edited on Fri Dec-05-03 07:46 PM by GloriaSmith
just like Howard Stern isn't courageous for being a shock jock and Eminem isn't courageous for his shocking rap lyrics.

Using shock to get attention is nothing more than pandering to rubberneckers. There's no intelligence needed.

As far as Al or Michael not debating "without a liberal panel/host", exactly how many Republican or moderate hosts have bothered to ask? One would think that in our "liberal media" we would be seeing more of Al and Michael and less of Ann on cable news networks.

47. Sure she will.


Maybe you should catch C-span's: -The Role of the Supreme Court "Is the Supreme Court Overstepping its Boundaries?" at Regent University.

She was a joke.

Does "anyone" include Conason? LOL


====


'Debate' vs. Coulter-geist

Tough-talking Ann Coulter wouldn't say a word last night.

At the last minute, the conservative pundit canceled her appearance opposite best-selling "Big Lies" author Joe Conason on CNBC's "Kudlow & Cramer" - this after having programmers change the debate to fit her schedule.

One might think the roundtable, which featured Wall Streeter James Cramer and Reaganite Lawrence Kudlow, would be a breeze for Coulter. Could she have been afraid of facing Conason, whose book presents evidence that her arguments are ill-researched and calls her lifestyle hypocritical?

Coulter didn't answer our E-mail.

49. Bwahahah!! Brain and courage?
I've seen that hitler whore crying on Matthews and a host of other shows when people challenge her on her idiocy. She usually reverts to saying "I thought that I was here to sell my book" over and over again, all the while tears are forming in her eyes.

I've seen that Klan tramp in virtual tears. She has no points, she has no argument. She tries to strong arm the conversation by outrageous rhetoric, and as soon as it breaks down(And it inevitably does), she starts whineing.

She is an idiot, and her books don't deserve the respect that toiltet paper gets.

Thanks for playing.

20. Oh, but she DID go on a few REAL shows.
When they wanted to question her on some of the wackier things she said, she would whine, "I thought we were here to talk about my book." I think she did it to gather 'evidence' that liberals were mean bastards, or something like that.

That "niche audience" put Moore & Franken at the top of the bestseller lists-- they're still there at last report. Coulter couldn't fight her way out of a wet paper bag in a REAL argument.

I say you are absolutely wrong. So wrong, in fact, that I don't think you even believe it. Ann Coulter does have enough sense not to debate a knowledgeable person. She will not allow her ignorance to be bared by a level playing feild.

Good Sir, I will support any effort to have Ann Coulter debate either man.

Ann is a caracture of the lowest common denominator on the Right. Her intellect is little used if her constant reliance on rightwing dogma is any indication.

Bring her on......

27. Not really, she loses it too easy. She goes ballistic, while both Moore
and Franken stay on message, and endeavor to be truthful. Ann gets too wild-eyed, makes too many broad statements about her opponents, and is not a very good researcher. Her 15 minutes are coming to a close, whereas both Franken and Moore have careers beyond political writing.

Franken's use of language is well beyond Ann's. He'd bleed her dry with a thousand cuts.

Anyway, it seems that Ann is not as restrained by reality as she was in years past.

28. Actually, Coulter hasn't got a chance against anyone...
with morew than three firing synapses. She is a cold hearted liar, that hasn't had a real job in her life. Her entire being is little more than a festering boil on the tailbone of humanity.

Any time she is requested to, "prove that", she blusters and blows, without ANY evidence. That is why she never made it as a lawyer....she lost all her cases!

In either case...welcome to DU; but if you think Coulter has a brain, or is based in factual info....your time here will be limited, unless you can produce evidence to prove either.

37. See Original Post

The thesis of my first post was Does It Even Matter, because it really doesn’t matter.
The fore mentioned venom spitters love to toss cr&p against the wall and see what sticks. If it sticks they want credit, if it doesn’t they ask for comedic latitude. There entertainers, nobody should take them seriously.
But they all do have one thing in common: They love to stir-the-sh!t and take our $$$$$$$$$$.

btw, I had no idea tossing Ann a little bone would whip-up so many people.

Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 05:31 AM by coda
Faux didn't get it and sued. Do you get it?

Al has publicly thanked them for their lack of a sense of humor (and common sense), as well as their free publicity which propelled him to #1.


"They love to stir-the-sh!t and take our $$$$$$$$$$. "


Well, in Ann's case that would be those "mysterious" bulk buyers. She's the one with the *, afterall.

She's functioning on a 1/3 of the brainpower of the average human being, but she's got the gift of malice. Her lack of intellect may explain why she prefers lying and hyperbole over factual analysis.

32. Franken Ate Coulter Alive On KMOX Recently
Maybe someone knows of a link...I didn't see it on a quick 20/20 on the station's site...and I do have it archived on my hard-drive.

Franken not just took her to task on this occasion, he wrote and entire book about it...DUH! He went chapter and verse into her countless lies and slander to prove how she conveluted her "research" and distorted the work of others.

Coulter's shtick is to be outrageous as often as possible as that keeps her on the Cable Shows that in turn churn book sales that keep her relevent. There's a whole underworld out there like that...Lowrey, Christol, Goldberg and so on that are only relevent as the sales of their publications are...and that means constanly getting on TV and to do that you need to make waves.

I put Coulter in the same catagory as a Pat Robertson...media creatures that preach to a very small, but vocal audience. Generally their rants are more amusing than serious, but the undertone of hate is always there.

50. ONLY seven?
ONLY three thousand died on 9/11. Lots more people die every day of natural causes. What is her cut off point here?

I really hate it when anyone starts with the argument that any particular atrocity on their part is not so bad as the atrocity on the other side. Both are atrocities.
