I’m not the biggest Ann Coulter fan out there. I think she says things that are way out of line just for the controversy, and attention for selling books. However, when we learned that Teddy Kennedy had brain cancer we didn’t make jokes about it. It would have been easy to do, but we asked our readers to pray for him. This is what makes conservatives different than most liberals! We don’t celebrate the tragedies of others just because we don’t like them, with perhaps the exception of Fred Phelps and his cult where we might make an exception. However, the left are jubilant that Ann Coulter’s mouth has finally been shut!

I don’t think he included Phelps as a conservative. He included Phelps as someone whose tragedies we are allowed to celebrate. I only read the excerpt, but I didn’t see him call Phelps a conservative, just someone we don’t like.
“We don’t celebrate the tragedies of others just because we don’t like them, with perhaps the exception of Fred Phelps”
Yes, thank you Doug. This is what I meant. I changed the wording on my blog to keep people from having the same confusion.
Oh, and I linked up your youtube post earlier.
Thanks! I am sending that YouTube and the redacted sworn declaration to members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and putting them on notice.
there are quite a number of libtards that i will be doing the happy dance once they pass.
actually... just about any of them.
Ann’s the best. She’ll be back and sharper than ever.
This guy has obviously never been to FR.
This is dumb.
I’m sorry but broken jaw does not friggin equal brain cancer.
Oh I’m glad it shut her up.
The woman gets on my nerves.
And back to you the CoulterBots.
You are entitled to your opinion, but who said it equals brain cancer?
Get real the post compares liberal reactions to someone with a broken jaw and someone with brain cancer.
To say that one is even remotely similar to another is a joke.
Did you read the blog post?
Now if Kennedy broke his jaw or Obama broke his jaw and that was compared to Annie then yes it’s funny.
But brain cancer.
pitiful.
how did she break her jaw? was she on one of those medications to prevent osteoporosis? I know that they carry the risk of jaw bone problems. Ann is so skinny that she may well have this problem though she is pretty young.
Yeah, I read the blog. Get real?
The point isn’t about brain cancer or a broken jaw, it is about taking delight in in the physical malady of someone you dislike for political reasons.
It was an example. Did YOU read the blog? Perhaps you aren’t astute enough to be able to understand a direct parallel wasn’t being made.
Bull a comparison was made.
It is a bad comparison.
If you worship little Annie I have no issues but don’t try to compare her booboo to brain cancer.
The post makes no sense.
period.
I think you are the one who is driven by emotion here, driven by your dislike of Ann Coulter.
The post makes no sense only to someone who doesn’t have any sense.
It is a perfectly acceptable topic of discussion, and the approach to it was reasonable.
I find that people who lack the intellectual capability to make a logical argument about an issue usually resort to calling others who disagree with them “bots” and end their posts by saying “period” or “case closed” as if that is all the logic they need to make their point.
It’s the intellectual equivalent of going home and taking your ball with you.
I think he was saying that conservatives might make an exception to "not celebrating when bad things happen to someone" rule if the bad things were to happen to Fred Phelps but I could be reading it wrong.
Excuse me then explain the post and comparison made?
How is Annies broken jaw equal to brain cancer.
You can’t and the rest of your tripe is sudo-intellectual garbage.
The blogger makes it clear that
The right never made fun of brain cancer how dare they (the left) make fun of a broken jaw.
The comparison is flawed
make sense?
Let’s face it. Nearly everyone can think of someone who would fail to elicit any sympathy were something terrible to happen to them.
Personally, I kind of relished the thought that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi spent his last moments of his life in extreme pain with the boot of a US Special Forces guy on his neck as his life ebbed away.
I don’t think that makes me a bad person, though.
To the left I say I will treat Obama and ALL of the rest of you with the exact same courtesy and respect you have treated the right for the last eight years. You are a bunch of lying low life scum bags not fit to be on the bottom of a snakes belly. You look like monkeys are are the stupidest bunch of voters ever and do not deserve the freedoms that have been provided to your lazy lowlife screw anything that moves degenerate selves. No we cannot get along. You started it and it is not going away. It is war and we will not lay down. Your guy won get over it!!! Oh and welcome to the third Clinton Term you F'in idiots.
Of course I could try to explain how the reference was made to illustrate a point, but I think it would be wasted on someone who doesn’t know the difference between “sudo” and “psuedo”.
If you are going to insult someone, at least take the time not to look like a total idiot.
Just saying.
You just have to be careful about how you define wicked.
True. There are people who would say it is God’s job to see they are punished, and we should never take pleasure in the suffering of others.
I don’t think I am one of those people, at least in certain cases.
