I think conservatives should never, ever give legitimacy to faux conservative groups who have a liberal agenda. That is what Coulter is doing.
Why would we? Farah is confronting homosexual activists while Coulter is giving them credibility. Anyone that can't see the difference is pretty dumb.
GOProud has one objective -- promoting a homosexual agenda within the Republican party. I'll wager good money that fact and issue never comes up in Coulter's speech to the group.
So if gays comprise 1-3% of the general population then conservative gays must be much less than 1% of the population. Why do liberals, gays, ecofreaks,and others expect greater power than their population numbers would indicate?
You do remember that we had a presidential election decided by 537 votes in Florida back in 2000, right? EVERY vote is important.
He’s legitimizing the gay agenda I’m tellin ya!! He should un-invite himself from the WND event I’m thinking!! I mean, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander an all that ain’t it??
Really? Who has said that Coulter shouldn't give interviews to liberals? For your statement to be true, that would have to be the case.
So his appearance on these shows as the voice of opposition equals Coulter being on MSM shows pushing conservatism to lib talking heads..and her pushing the conservative agenda and promoting traditional marriage at the speaking engagement.
There!!! Fixed it for ya!!! Hey DJ !!!! :-) Smile!!!!
I haven’t really kept up on this....No.Has Coulter come out in favor of gay marriage?
From an email that Ann sent to The Daily Caller:
...also, FYI; my fellow evangelicals — and I know lots and lots of ‘em — – all think it’s great that I’m doing this.(of course, they know I’m not changing my mind on gay marriage even though I like gays.)
And you didn't address what I said. Who has said that Coulter shouldn't give interviews to liberals? For your statement to be true, that would have to be the case.
Nooo ! I’m saying that for either one of them to go on those shows is ok, as I thought you were, but for him to diss her and then do it is hypocritical.
I agree with you, I didn’t read the article before I pinged you because I was in a rush, was just going by the headline.
e-mail from Ann: (of course, they know I’m not changing my mind on gay marriage even though I like gays.)As I posted on a previous thread:
I think that this is at the heart of the problem, that Ann truly LIKES many gay people, and THEY really like her.Many social conservatives seem to fear that Ann's close association with them on such a PERSONAL level will eventually effect her on a POLITICAL level.
And, they **could** be right -- if it wasn't ANN we were talking about.But TED OLSON, the widower of her very good friend BARBARA OLSON, who died on 9/11 in the hijacked plane that hit the Pentagon, may be an example of what they fear might happen with Ann.
The previously conservative Ted Olson recently led the legal battle to get California's Proposition 8 (which defined marraige as only being between "one man and one woman") overturned in the courts -- and he seems to have been influenced to support gay marriage by his new (much younger) lefty wife.Not to worry; ANN is NOT "going wobbly" on us. :o)
but for him to diss her and then do it is hypocritical.
How? She called him a fake Christian in an interview. Both of them need to stop "getting a divorce" in public.
Yeah. It’s another emotional reaction by fans.
Has Coulter come out in favor of gay marriage?Bingo!If so, I see a problem with her speaking there.
If not, I see no problem if she goes there and makes a conservative case for marriage.
And, I expect that Ann will also "make a conservative case" for gays to support many OTHER conservative/Republican issues, like:
cutting taxes, shrinking government, fighting Islamic jihadists, etc.Thr problem is, since Ann LIKES these guys, many here are concerned that they will convince her to support THEIR agenda.
Those who have this concern obviously haven't heard Ann argue very often before. :o)
It’s another emotional reaction by [pro-Ann] fans.LOLOL!
As opposed to the calm, well-reasoned and un-emotional reactions of the "anti-Ann" forces here...
...who want to virtually burn as a witch someone who has consistently been one of the most effective voices on our side.......because she's having so much fun tweaking the "PC police" on BOTH sides of this issue.
Ann is the MASTER at "provoking an emotional response" -- to force people to examine the core beliefs...... which in THIS case is, wouldn't you have more success at winning the "hearts and minds" of your political opponents, you LIKED them as people?
Try sticking to what I post. You are an emotional Coulter fan. You are all over these threads defending her actions while telling me you aren’t a fan. Bunk. I disagree with a choice she made. So do others. And we are allowed to do so.
I am a HUGE fan of Ann, and have been for a LONG time.What I was LOLing about in my post to you was the implication in your previous post that many of the folks blasting Ann on these threads were UN-emotional...And, yes -- at times I am quite passionate when posting here.
...which I find to be a WILDLY inaccurate observation, if that is what you actually intended to convey.If you're NOT passionate about your core beliefs, you're not doing it right. ;)
Coulter is your core belief?
Alrighty then!
Who's the publicity whore here?
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
...then YES, we do -- which is why I often defend her so aggressively here.I'm actually not crazy about her being the "poster girl" for Homocon, but I understand that Ann knows how to cut through the media clutter like NO ONE can...
...so the message that she DOES deliver there next month will get almost universal coverage.As Mark Steyn said so much more eloquently than I ever could, you may not always agree with Ann's emotion-inducing TACTICS...
...but it's hard to argue with the RESULTS that she gets for our side.
