Instead of inventing ways to make Conservatives "look" wrong...why don't liberals just "prove" them wrong?

They can't and that is the fundamental flaw with liberalism.

Although this article is (peripherally) about Coulter, and not by Coulter, I think the photo rule still applies.

“So what do these two PhD’s propose...anarchy through the growth of factions.”

Exactly, they need a thug like Stalin ruthless enough to “silence” Coulterism.

The right to bear arms is no idle right with these jokers around.

“the challenge is to prevent Coulter from re-occupying the universal, and this means to do to her what she has sought to do to liberalism. Coulter wants a dirty fight; perhaps we should respect her wishes.”

Time and place, please. I’ll bring the popcorn.

It is a great honor to be attacked by such obvious euro-trash dishonest socialist vermin. Ann Coulter is doing something right.

Without rules, anarchy prevails. Just don’t let it happen again.

Ha! If they’re talking about Ann Coulter, then this just shows how inept the left is when it comes to debate: they cannot defeat the reasoning, so they attack the person or the method.

typical libs.

Sufferers of ‘academentia’ typically live far up in the head waters of denial.

The last time I encountered such clauses in what was put forth as an erudite sentence was when I was at WoodStock I, listening to the stoned.

What combination of recreational pharmaceutical and what variety of collectivist “philosophy” could produce this jewel:
“..high-energy’ democracy capable of sustaining ongoing transformative experimentalism in production, political organisation, learning and living.””?

The real question should be, “Why does America allow Euro-socialist TrashThought a place on campus?”

Oh, OK, this isn't from The Onion?

She has achieved her objective. Like Rush Limbaugh, she pushes liberals over the edge. Apparently, they have fallen for it.

It would be better for them to focus on the Constitution, conservative political theory, and the conservative movement as a whole. But maybe 10 or 12 Guinnesses would do the trick. Extra Stout. Come to think of it, they better add a few shots of Jägermeister at P.J.'s, the James Joyce, or CVP. Particularly when the students start asking how to interpret Coulter through Derrida and Lacanian categories.

We can only hope Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis figures in here somewhere. Just to be "fair and balanced."

Don't they know Coulter is a mind control device borrowed from KAOS to drive liberals insane?

I remember that paper - it was basically an argument as to why it’s okay to censor conservatives.

Can we call it,”Wails from the Whales from Wales”?
Or maybe ,”Swill from the Swells of Swansea”?

"It’s been rumored that professors Samuel A. Chambers and Alan Finlayson are planning ..."

In case anyone is wondering about the specialties of these two academics:

"Alan’s research interests encompass ... poststructuralist philosophy and radical politics ... Marxism, theories of class politics and multiculturalism ... Gender and Politics ... Marxist theories of aesthetics literature and culture..."

"Sam has very broad interests in ... the theory and practice of gender and sexuality ... the relationship between political theory and queer theory ... philosophy and gender studies "

No surprises there, and none of my kids are going to a school that considers their work to be a form of education.

Marcusean and poststructuralist approaches to Ann Coulter? That should be a riot. How many sinsemilla bong hits does it take to dream this up? This requires one of those "today's word" segments on The Colbert Report.

These “academics” are obviously closet heterosexuals who probably wrote their paper one-handed while researching on Ann’s web site.

Thank you for dredging that up. I did sort of get the hint that our boys might be dabbling in a little pomo logorrhea - well, actually you can't produce a "little" of that stuff - but it appears that the credentials are all in place: postructuralism, Marxism, theories of class politics, multiculturalism, and a host of other intellectual sandboxes that have to be sifted occasionally to filter out the occupants' turds. But check this out:

...political theory should be part of the process of identifying and encouraging all sorts of political and social ‘experiments in living’, taking part in a kind of ‘high-energy’ democracy capable of sustaining ongoing transformative experimentalism in production, political organisation, learning and living.

A feller could starve trying to survive on the semantic content in that torrent of intellectual styrofoam. A textbook full of that stuff printed on the shiny paper will cost some poor undergrad's parents a hunnert buckadingdongs and end up on the floor holding up a wobbly table. That would be its finest moment.

After reading the “Coulterism” paper three times, I am still at as loss as to why it takes some academics 18 pages to say what a normal person could sum-up in a paragraph or two.

Pot meet the kettle.
