Ann Coulter has always been a valiant fighter in the intellectual battle for conservatism. I even have a couple of her books, but she has gone too far this time. She's irritated me for a while now (didn't buy the last 2 books) and it has finally reached a tipping point:
1. It is one thing to criticize the partisanship and naive policy positions of the Jersey Girls, but it is another thing to start saying disparaging things about their husbands possibly leaving those "harpies".
2. It is one thing to criticize John Edwards for hypocrisy and being an intellectual lightweight, but it is another thing to use a sexual slur against him.
The latest slur against Bobbie Jindal is the final straw, and unfortunately it took her slandering a conservative for me to lose my patience with her. If this was an attempt at making fun of absurdity by being abdsurd (i.e. the liberal slurs against Jindal made by Helen Thomas, Malloy, etc.) then she needs to go on record and explain as such. As I read her column, this was just a slur against him for saying a few nice words about the POTUS. It was not a great speech in terms of delivery or clarity, but was her comment about being in "Slumdog Millionaire" really called for? I've had enough of this from her...she is constantly belligerent with people for no reason (O'Reilly who is not a great conservative, but why she'd want to alienate a center-right person of such power and influence is beyond me). And I'm not sure what she was referring to in her CPAC speech about Afghanistan being a quagmire. She is on the verge of becoming a liability to us now, and undermining her own intellectual brilliance (e.g. the illegitimacy portion of her recent book) with needless bombast. Maybe I'm just over-reacting because I am a Jindal fan...what does everyone else think? I'm frustrated...
First of all, it's "Reagan's 11th Commandment."
Second - was this the SAME Ronald Reagan who ran a primary challenge against an incumbent Republican president? Hmm, yes, I think it was.
This.
Ann says what a lot of us think, and I have a feeling whe never says what a lot of us are thinking lately. I think she thinks what we are thinking however.
Go ann.
Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
whe=she.
Jindal was weak because discussing policies via reason doesn't get you anywhere in a dumbed down society.
Coulter understands this and brings a style of commentary and debate that liberals have no defense against, and thus she scares the hell out of them.
Read this article on "Coulterism".
A snippet
They do, however, hit the bulls-eye in their belief that, Ann Coulter is a living rebuke to almost all of contemporary liberal philosophy.
I smell ozone!
This wasn't a racial slur.
She is criticizing Jindall's lack of gravitas and overly-youthful looks - saying he appears like a young teenager in the film.
It's not an 'All Indians look alike' joke. Ann would never be so droll.
It was wrong of them.
Loves Ann.
If you don’t like her. Tough. Go hug an Obamicon.
Perhaps the Slumdog cultural reference was too current for you. Catch up.
Ann is attempting to "stiffen the spine" of Jindal, and other conservative politicians. She doesn't want him playing nice nice with the enemy.
She's essentially bucking up the troops for war
What interview are you referring to. Ann doesn't lie. That's one of her trade marks.
Give me the date of the interview and I'll check it out.
Being nice with this bunch of thugs and their cheerleaders in the media is a sign of weakness. And will only serve to provoke them into further attacks.
never apologize.....it's a sign of weakness.
Again, your reading comprehension is or lack of it is coming into play. She didn't "attack" Jindal. And the reality is he is a 37 year old man and is way too green to be a serious POTUS candidate. And he has that nancy-boy demeanor, kinda like Brack. I'm sick of people like you who can't fight. You liberals are always so afraid of offending someone.
You’re an idiot.
It was wrong of them.
Because they're evil and their policies will destroy the country. If we're not evil and our policies are awesome why would it be wrong?
Ann aims humorous invective, sarcasm and ridicule at liberals and Rinos....but she doesn't lie.
She transcends the bounds of political correct discourse. Those bounds prevent Republicans from speaking the truth.
She is the gold standard when it comes to truth telling.
Ann Coulter
I agree, Ann Coulter is the rightwing version of Michael Moore.
John Edwards *is* a fag though. ;)
“There are many who would wish their wives looked that good at 48.”
I don’t like no bony women. Their elbows and knees hurt me. I like Ann, she just needs a little cushion. Looks kinda poorly to me, makes me want to feed her.
That's nonsense....I saw that interview. Ann took the Huckster apart.
Huckabee is a fraud.
.....Sincerity is everything. If you can fake that, youve got it made.
