You ought to know we love Ann Coulter.
Jill Gibson:
"During my six years of living and studying in Florence, Italy, I fell in love with the traditional Mediterranean garden as an environment for displaying works of fine art. When I returned to the states, I wanted to bring back some of that sensibility to my own garden and then share it with my friends. The resulting artworks were so well received and in such demand that a business sprang up overnight.
My Gibson Artworks Collection is an original, contemporary line of cast stone sculpture I've developed for the home and garden. This line includes wall plaques, planters, bowls, tiles, sculptures and fountains. My signature goes on these works only after I feel I have created a tranquil image to compliment the natural grace of your home and garden. All works are individually cast, sealed, and hand finished with a patina, which renders each a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of lasting value.
Drawing from a diverse background in photography, music, painting, and sculpture, I continue to work in various mediums at my studio in Oakland, California. My developing style is influenced by my affection for Classical Indian sculpture and pre-Indo European imagery. I believe, through creative design and fine workmanship, cast stone can be raised to a level equal to that of the other decorative arts.
I have studied at UCLA, The Art Student's League in New York, and The Simi Studio in Florence, Italy. My work has been shown in fine galleries in Italy, Holland, Germany, and throughout the United States during the past 25 years. I am in numerous private collections, including those of Jack Nicholson, Max Factor, Eric and Lisa Lidow, Michael Savage, The Seattle Museum, and the Los Angeles Free Clinic, among others."
If you've listened to Savage enough, it's enlightening and informative to know he's got her art in his collection, but really not surprising.
Everyone's a critic! Sometimes I like one, better than the other, sometimes I like none of them.
Rush is the best, his style can't be beat.
Boortz is next on my list...I would never want to disagree with him because he makes callers look like complete idiots.
Hannity is tolerable, but much better on T.V. I hate how he spends the whole first radio hour giving a run down of everything he's going to do for the last 2 hours.
Savage sounds like he's doing the show out of his garage.
I think to a certain extent it's healthy to see some criticism of well-known conservative personalities, especially when it's over actual issues.
What is sick is when people post things that make it obvious they literally hate the person the person they're bashing. Look at any Keyes thread and you'll know what I mean.
So? Just because we do not always agree or criticize some one doesn't mean that we do not like them.
We are individuals you know. And there are people who like Savage. He isn't my cup of tea but so what? Neither is Hannity but just because I do not care for their style does not mean I dislike them or that I want anyone else to dislike them.
You seem to have confused conservatives with "slavishly adoring sycophants."
That you will not find. I doubt there is a single person in the conservative movement that I have not disagreed with on some point. Again so what? Some times I have come around to their way of thinking, in other cases I have not.
When you think in a cutting edge manner and voice those opinions you can expect people to disagree with you. You can also expect to be spectacularly wrong on occasion. Suck it up buttercup. No one is right all the time. No one is liked all the time.
That is exactly what it is usually. From the whining you would think we had a "Bash Hannity" Forum. Prior to his bashing Free Republic most of the comments were mild and had to do with his constant product pushing.
but don't you think it sometimes goes over the top,
Sure it does. Everybody goes over the top sometimes. And some times they are justified. Hannity for sure went over the top.
such as when supposedly conservative posters call Savage a psycho or Drudge a sellout or Hannity an idiot?
Are the criticisms justified? I have heard Savage sound like a psycho that is why I turn him off. Is commenting on it bashing or merely a truthful comment? Hannity certainly has acted like an idiot this week. I pay little attention to Drudge.
We must restrict ourselves to a few little criticisms (never anything major of course, maybe a comment on how their tie doesn't match) so as not to hurt a public personalities feelings?
That is a big part of Hannity's problem. He wants to be liked. So he has his "good friend" liberals on trying to get them to like him and then he lashes out at conservatives because they feel like he is letting them down by not making good convincing arguments.
If Hannity is unable to understand why that is a problem then maybe he is in the wrong business.
Being conservative does not mean that you are immune to attack angry or otherwise. Being conservative means thinking evaluating and yes, critiquing.
Some of the criticism is justified, as I said "You can also expect to be spectacularly wrong on occasion."
Hannity, Drudge and Savage can expect to be criticized because they have a thinking audience. If they are in it for mindless adoration then they should have chosen a different line of work.
You are probably right. But you have to admit, sometimes you see fellow conservatives viciously, personally attack one another and you just shake your head.
