Are we all giggly today? Aww, ain't that pwecious!
[Impy says]: The words didnt spout out of her mouth in the heat of the moment she wrote them in her column she had time to think about it...
NOT in the heat of the moment?????
OK, Impy, let's get back to basic math here. Her column was published on September 13, 2001. That implies she submitted it to her publisher late on September 12 (possibly early 9/13).
Here is your task: Subtract 11 (as in 9/11/2001) from 12 (as in 9/12/2001).
I'll give you extra time here, in case your calculating machine is an older non-motorized model with a hand crank.
(And don't forget that for subtraction you must crank the handle around backwards.)
Now, did you get the same result I did? --- One (1) day. (Actually, I computed it in my head, not that I'm saying this to try to show you up or anything).
This means that the first news of just who it was (Bin Laden's bunch, ie Islamofascist Terrorists) that killed her closest friend had JUST come out in the preceding hours.
Furthermore, while still in a state of shock for the murder of her closest friend, she was treated, like the rest of us, to scenes of jubilant Palestinians in multiple locations whooping it up, firing guns in the air in jubilant celebration of her friend's death.
And this is when she wrote these words: We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.
And you say she did not write this "in the heat of the moment"?
Good grief!! You Ann-attackers are UNREAL. Her friend's ashes were still smoldering in the embers of the Pentagon at that time, and this is NOT "heat of the moment"?
You know, for a long time there, Bobby Jindal was my number one pick for the future of the GOP, up until Sarah came along. And he's still my number two.
But if Sarah doesn't run and BJ does, I'll have to think long and hard about volunteering my time again, if it means working alongside the kind of Jindal supporters I've seen on this thread.
Publius started off this whole thing with an attack on Ann for merely throwing a single Jindal/Slumdog remark into her long column about other topics, a remark that as many others have pointed out here, was perfectly innocuous. And now you, Impy, have gone and made the most ridiculous leaps of logic in an attempt to slander Ann for her perfectly understandable 8-year-old grief-stricken outburst.
Hmmm... I'm starting to see a pattern here --- connections between Jindal-support and Coulter-bashing. Here's what I'm seeing:
Most RINOs I've met live by the philosophy:
In looking at Jindal's recent performance, it appears as if these kinds of RINOs somehow got to him before his speech. It looks like that wing of the party convinced Bobby, if not coerced him, to show voters that we Republicans are really very very very nice people, very obedient suck-ups to the leftists, and we'd never dare say anything critical about the Obamessiah. Oh no, not us!
If they think that Jindal's speech has won over voters, then they probably also think Ann Coulter is a liability to the GOP.
Hmmm, 'smatter of fact, they do both, don't they?
If and when Jindal runs, in order to get my full support, I'd first have to see evidence that he has not drunk the koolaid of the "Suck Up To Liberal Democrats" wing of the GOP.
(And when I say "full" support, I mean that I put in TONS of volunteer hours every 2 years, plus city elections in between, as well as $$ and letters to the editor - none of which you'd probably like, because they're too "Coulterish").
Miss Publius (regardless of gender) is wrong about Ann Coulter. Grow a pair (regardless of gender) & acknowledge that Ann has got point duty in this epic battle, doing the hard work, taking the shots & making herself a target for the true hatred of the left. We all benefit from her bravery so the least we can do is stand up for her when we can.
Miss Publius et al: stand & fight, or shut up & get out of the way.

Save the cutsey “Adding machine” crap okay CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC.
“You Ann-attackers are UNREAL”
I’m not an “Ann-attacker” CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC I was pinged to this thread and gave my damn option which a lot of people seem to agree with. I’m not on a mission to slander your girlfriend.
You replied with such foolishness and made it personal “you two guys” I feel the need to respond.
YOU CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC seem to an Ann Sycophant however feeling the need to defend her to the death.
The remarks weren’t verbal she WROTE them in her column. Serious writers should think before they write ridiculous things YES EVEN RIGHT AFTER THEIR FRIEND DIED. And again unless I’m wrong she never later said that she doesn’t in fact believe we should go on the final crusade. That particular remark was not helpful to advancing conservative thought.
I’m not against your girlfriend CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC she’s basically an entertainer (who I often enjoy) and not a serious political thinker like say Limbaugh.
And BTW I don’t care about Jindal. 2012 is too soon for him. I’d like to see him clean up his state before jumping on the national scene. I also don’t give a flying crap that his skin is brown, he is over-hyped for that reason.
And the I’m last person who wants to “suck up to democrats” CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC, and I didn’t say one damn word to that effect. I’m in favor of savaging the pieces of crap at every turn. You may have read I liked that Coulter called John Edwards a fag, because he is a fag and those Jersey slags are harpies!
Next time you reply to me stick to what I’ve said and don’t lump me in with groups such as “Ann Haters” or other people who made different arguments. I think for my damn self.
