To claim that Coulter's light-hearted one-liner about Jindal (in a long column that nowhere else mentions him) amounts to major damage to the GOP because she is not only "slurring" him, but is also "focusing" the energy of her attacks on Bobby instead of on B.O. does not smack of Trollism to me. It merely smacks of taking an awfully tiny thing, and stretching it so incredibly far that instead of making Coulter look bad, it just makes you look ridiculous and incapable of carrying on a serious discussion.
And I'm still trying to get a feel for why you think Coulter has "slurred". It would help if you answered these questions:
-When Trent Lott praised Strom Thurmond at his 100th birthday bash and said he should have won his bid for president, was that racist?
-Did you think that GHWB's "Willie Horton" ad was racist in 1988, by showing the photo of a black man who had raped and killed after being set free in an early release program?
-When Al Gore had earlier used Willie against Dukakis during the '88 Dem primary (thus alerting the GOP to this useful campaign issue), was that racist?
-Did Jesse Helms' TV ad showing the hands of a purported voter who lost a job due to affirmative action smacking a stamp on a letter to a politician, qualify as "racist" because the hands appeared to belong to a white person?
-Do you keep smelling salts on your person because your friends are constantly having to revive you each time your delicate constitution is thrown into a tailspin after hearing "slurs"?
OK, ok, ok, so that last question was facetious, but the others weren't.
BTW, was this the question for me that you later claimed I ignored? --- "who is a bigger threat to us...Jindal or BO? I want Ann to focus on the real threat, rather than making silly slurs against one of our own"
It looked like an obvious rhetorical question to me, so I only responded to the second part of that line. I thought it was obvious that rhetorical questions aren't meant to be answered. (BTW, perhaps you thought my question re "where's the slur?" was rhetorical, but it's not. I still do not see the !@#$% slur!)
But when it comes to you ........ well, things that I would consider "obvious" with other Freepers apparently don't apply to you.
wow ...you all are still going on this.
Incapable of carrying on a serious discussion? After being called a troll, DUer, homo, etc. simply for offering constructive criticism of Ann? I didn’t devolve this discussion. I don’t like the idea of implying that every Indian runs a 7/11 (I wonder how many of you ranted against Biden and Billary for that) or provides cell phone services, or grew up as a slumdog. It’s just a dumb stereotype. That’s what I expect from the left...balkanization of groups.
Trent: overreaction by the media (cover of Newsweek and all), but I wouldn’t praise Strom for running on a segregationist ticket.
Horton ad: right on point and not racist.
Jesse Helms: not a racist ad to point out the unfairness of AA.
