Hit Coulter with some Change?

[benny05]

I just got this e-mail from David Bonior, Edwards' campaign:

Did you hear about Ann Coulter's speech this afternoon attacking John? A friend just forwarded me the video and it's one of the worst moments in American politics I've seen.

I can't bring myself to even repeat her comments. Her shameless display of bigotry is so outrageous you actually have to see for yourself to believe it.

This is just a taste of the filth that the right-wing machine is gearing up to throw at us. And now that it's begun, we have a choice: Do we sit back, or do we fight back?

Coulter's attack was no accident. It happened on national television at one of the year's biggest conservative conferences. Dick Cheney and most of the Republican candidates were in the audience. She was even introduced by Mitt Romney.

John was singled out for a personal attack because the Republican establishment knows he poses the greatest threat to their power. Since they have nothing real to use against him, Coulter's resorting to the classic right-wing strategy of riling up hate to smear a progressive champion. And the Republican attack dogs will keep playing this despicable trick as long as they think it works.

But this time, you and I can change the game.

We can show that bigotry will only backfire on those who use it. John is not the first progressive leader to face this kind of slime, but together, we can make sure he is one of the last.

Admittedly, this is asking for some change for Edwards' campaign. If you have a "Friday Fiver" to spare, that's great, and you can donate it here:

If you don't, just keep blogging to stop the Queen of Mean and the Rovian Noise from hitting our candidates with bigoted commentary that she and others shouldn't get away with.

You guys were great today. Thanks for reading!

1. Gee, I'd like to see that video, myself. And see if there were any GOP candidates nearby

Because if there were, that's the kind of hateful shit you WANT to shop around, just in case the undecided but decent haven't gotten a clue as to what type of people hang out over on the far right end of things.

2. Here's the video. We are going to donate to Edwards.

She endorsed Romney.

I think I will send Edwards some money tonight.

3. That's WONDERFUL....one more skinny nail in Mitt the Shitt's coffin! NT

5. If Shitt Romney gets the Publican nomination, we should make this

Coulter endorsement for him a frighteningly emaciated albatross around his neck.

6. I hope Romney is the candidate

He would be easily beaten.

From the piece:

It happened on national television at one of the year's biggest conservative conferences. Dick Cheney and most of the Republican candidates were in the audience. She was even introduced by Mitt Romney.

I sent a little note telling him what a bunch of losers the GOP is (are?). Whatever...

11. Lindsay Beyerstein speaks to ReThug crap ala

Ann Coulter in an article she (Beyerstein) published in Salon entitled "Why I refused to blog for Edwards." The relevant quote is reproduced below and can be found here:

"...the right wing has a large network of surrogates, like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Bill Donohue, who can propel virtually any story into the mainstream media. These professional blowhards are supported by a lavish infrastructure of publishers, partisan media outlets, think tanks, grants, lecture circuits and more.

Republican benefactors lavish funds on the conservative message machine because they recognize the value of a good surrogate. Candidates don't pay their surrogates or give them orders. Instead, they rely on them to say all the outrageous things they can't say themselves." (my emphasis)

12. Hit her with some change? Like a sack of quarters maybe?

Sorry, punch line to a very old joke. But that creature and her enablers are so disgusting I couldn't help myself.

15. That's a new one for this blogger

:evilgrin:

Well, one cannot donate at the moment. The site is down.. who knows :shrug: why?:

13. When Democrats join together

maybe this shit will stop. An email that pointed out ALL the bullshit attacks that were made, along with the partisan games they're playing on Iraq, might get me to consider this something more than just another fundraiser.

14. The Smegma Queen jus killed Mitt Romneys odds...he ain't gonna win shit with her on board

[benny05]

16. Nonetheless

We were and still are in more solidarity about this bigoted comment.
