Let's see... Limbaugh's a drug addict, Coulter's a bigot... Who shall we destroy next to improve the conservative movement?

How about we get rid of those nasty bigoted Christians? Then we can be free to move on to our oh so gay low tax borderless bilingual utopia. Where no baby born is unwanted. /sarc

Don't forget that Malkin stands to gain professional by the exile of Ann.

I'll be watching you.

"I imagine you would be hard pressed to find a liberal who Coulter has not called a faggot at some time or another."

I don't know about that. But I do know that she is said to be very popular with homosexuals. And that she has gotten much of her more fair even positive press coverage from homosexual reporters.

She's not a gay-basher, and she never has been.

Did you note that? Damn you're good. Congratulations!

Sam that is an interesting thought. What law and who wrote it that the others have to respond. I have always felt the best comment was, Speak to Ann, she said it.

BTW, are you any relation to Sam Hill from Marshall Michigan, or just admire the man. He had a reputation to swear in a way that was an art back in the late 19th century.

Male or female?

"Don't forget that Malkin stands to gain professional by the exile of Ann."

That had crossed my mind.

And, even apart from motives, Michelle has been wrong before. (Quite often, in fact.)

And even apart from that, there is no reason on her why her take on this should carry any more weight than anybody else's.

I have to wonder if it was such a shock to the CPAC audience, than why did nobody ask Coulter about it in the Q&A that immediately followed?

And as FR's Kristinn and others have reported, it wasn't even talked about by anyone he heard for the rest of the time at CPAC. So this outrage seems to have been discernible only to a few.

Lastly, Malkin keeps stressing the irreparable harm this will do to the children in the audience. Well, I didn't see any in the clips I've seen. And I have seen very few children in the photos I've seen from CPAC.

But moreover, how many children are going to be traumatized by hearing that word? I can't imagine them having a clue about it. And they surely hear far worse than that on the radio and TV every day of their lives.

It's not like Coulter set up a screen and started showing her vast internet porn collection for the audience.

Just an admirer. But I have heard about his exploits. Thanks.

Doonesbury, Oct 30, 1984

That would not have been the first time someone has joked about a candidate or politician not being manly enough. While the '84 Doonesbury strip triggered some liberal snickering about George Bush's "manhood" being placed in a blind trust, there were not politically correct complaints of the type following Coulter's F-bomb.

Actually, youngster, my original use of the phrase 'defense fo the indefensible'came from another thread & post at:

POST #122 AT 10:52 AM. [Now we're gonna see all these guys who lust for Coulter come out of the woodwork to defend the indefensible.]

And sure enough, there you are. I don't need any help to pin the tail on an ass. That's my final word on the subject of Ms. Coulter and her ad hominem bigotry. Thank you for your thoughts on the matter.

Thanks for posting that and reminding some that proven conservative commentators, as well as ALL of the Republican candidates, do not condone the politics of personal destruction - even under the guise of humor - and that we can indeed take a higher road than the liberals.
