Still furious about the election, liberals are lashing out at blacks. First it was Condoleezza Rice. But calling a Ph.D. who advised a sitting president during war "Aunt Jemima" apparently hasn't satiated the Democrats' rage. Even the racist cartoons didn't help.
So this week, they've turned with a vengeance to Clarence Thomas. Only the Democrats would try to distract from their racist attacks on one black Republican by leveling racist attacks against a different black Republican. If Democrats don't nip this in the bud, soon former Klanner and Democratic Sen. Bob Byrd will be their spokesman.
In the past few weeks, there have been nasty insinuations all around about Condoleezza Rice's competence for the job.
Democratic consultant Bob Beckel – who demonstrated his own competence running Walter Mondale's campaign – said of Rice, "I don't think she's up to the job."
Joseph Cirincione, with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (so you know they don't have an agenda or anything), said Rice "doesn't bring much experience or knowledge of the world to this position." This was reassuring, inasmuch as that was also liberals' assessment of the current president before he took office and he, to put it mildly, has been doing rather well.
The Kansas City Star editorialized that Rice "has not demonstrated great competence in the last four years," which is to say, Dr. Rice failed to be sufficiently clairvoyant to predict the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Columnist Bob Herbert sneered of Rice's nomination in the New York Times: "Competence has never been highly regarded by the fantasists of the George W. Bush administration." For example, these are the bumbling nitwits who conquered Afghanistan, the "graveyard of empires," and toppled Baghdad in less time than your average Jennifer Lopez marriage lasts. (Wait, I can't remember: Was it the Bush administration that hired Jayson Blair?)
So far, Dr. Rice has demonstrated her abundant competence only in academia, geopolitics, history, government, college administration, classical music and athletics. I eagerly await the Bob Herbert column in which he lists the subjects and pursuits he's mastered. If only Rice talked about her accessorizing like Clinton's Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, she might impress the sort of fellow who writes for the New York Times.
Liberals at least give white Republicans credit for being evil. Rumsfeld is a dangerous warmonger, Paul Wolfowitz is part of an international Jewish conspiracy, Dick Cheney is "Dr. No." But Dr. Rice? She's a dummy.
In fact, after spending the last four years telling us that President Bush was an empty suit, a vessel for neoconservative fantasies of perpetual war, liberals have now found someone who is Bush's puppet: the black chick.
It's all so eerily familiar.
The late Mary McGrory, a white liberal, called Scalia "a brilliant and compelling extremist" – as opposed to McGrory herself, a garden-variety extremist of average intelligence. But Thomas she dismissed as "Scalia's puppet," quoting another white liberal, Alvin J. Bronstein of the American Civil Liberties Union, to make the point. This is the kind of rhetoric liberals are reduced to when they just can't bring themselves to use the n-word.
Most recently – at least as we go to press – last Sunday Harry Reid, the Democratic leader in the Senate, had this to say about Justice Clarence Thomas: "I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written." You'd think Thomas' opinions were written in ebonics.
In the same interview, Reid called Justice Antonin Scalia "one smart guy." He said that although he disagreed with Scalia, his reasoning is "very hard to dispute." Scalia is "one smart guy"; Thomas is the janitor. If Democrats are all going to read from the same talking points, they might want to get someone other than David Duke to write them.
On the Sean Hannity radio show, Democratic pundit Pat Halpin defended Sen. Reid's laughable attack on Thomas by citing Bob Woodward's book "The Brethren," which – according to Halpin – vividly portrays Thomas as a nincompoop.
I return to my standing point that liberals don't read. Harry Reid clearly hasn't read any of the decisions Justice Thomas has written, and Pat Halpin clearly hasn't read "The Brethren."
"The Brethren" came out a decade before Thomas was even nominated to the Supreme Court. The only black Supreme Court justice discussed in "The Brethren" is Thurgood Marshall. That's one we haven't heard in a while: I just can't tell you guys apart.
How many black justices have there been on the Supreme Court again? Oh yes: two. It's one thing to confuse Potter Stewart with Lewis Powell. After all, there have been a lot of white guys on the court. But there have been only two black justices – and Democrats can't keep them straight. Two! That's like getting your mother and father confused. I can name every black guy on a current National Hockey League roster: Is it asking Democrats too much to remember the names of the only two black Supreme Court justices?
In "America (The Book)," by Jon Stewart and the writers of Comedy Central's "Daily Show," the section on the judiciary describes how to make a sock puppet of Clarence Thomas and then says, "Ta-da! You're Antonin Scalia!" On grounds of originality alone, Mr. Stewart, I want my money back.
But reviewing the book in the New York Times, Caryn James called the sock puppet joke one of the book's "gems of pointed political humor." Funny how the liberal punditocracy all parrot this same "sock puppet" line about Thomas year after year, almost as if they were sock pu-- oh, never mind.
Curiously, of all the liberals launching racist attacks on black conservatives I've quoted above, only two are themselves black: the two who write for the New York Times. So I guess there are still a couple of blacks taking orders from the Democrats. Isn't there an expression for that? I think it begins with "Uncle" and ends with "Tom."
Ann Coulter is a bestselling author and syndicated columnist. Her most recent book is How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must).
The RATS have learned how to deal with Ann on the Hannity show. They basically scream over her and don't shut up the whole time they're on the air.
Hannity hasn't learned how to turn off their mikes.
Proof once again that Conservative, bright, powerful, forthright, self-assured, outspoken, witty, pity, well-read and versed women with attitude are attractive to Conservative men!
Oh... and she is physically attractive as well!!!
But my wife looked better at 43 yrs.
All right already .........
Overkill indeed already with the pix.
I lost the whole point of the post. From a woman's opinion one pix is MORE than enough thank you.
Well, I've always been fascinated by older women... 43, huh? Yup, that's about right...
Hey, Ann! I'll be 43 in about 3 months! Will you wait for me?

I run a homeless ministry in the inner city. Even with a devout Christian running for President, most black pastors could not see their interests coincided with Bush.
They voted Kerry, in the main. The consequences of this decision hurt the people they claim to want to help. Like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, it is clear there is not much conviction to Christian principles underlying the politics.
"They[Dems] might learn something if they read the whole thing."
"Learn? we don't need no stinkin learnin..."
Hillary Clinton
Yep, that is the tactic they employ, not only with Ann, but any conservative woman. They know conservatives tend to be polite.
But if you and I notice this, a lot of other people do, too. The Dems are killing themselves publically.
You are right that the shows need to stop this stuff. I click the clicker immediately when people start shouting. The Dems are trying to lower the ratings at Fox.
"The role of the fictional "Uncle Tom" is so often misunderstood, particularly by Americans of African descent. Uncle Tom was a dignified and reticent personality, who even through all the insults and affronts visited upon him, still down at the center was a good and insofar as it was within his capacity, a generous soul, without vengeance for those who berated and beat upon him at every turn. For he knew, that to exact revenge was not his province, and that in Heaven, he would receive his reward. Likewise, those who called down this persecution upon him would pay the price in the next life."
So true.
Isnt it ironic how conotations often have the opposite meaning from reality?
This is definately one of them, but you cant change that now, it would seem.
Man, all those pictures of Ann give me a sugar high.
But doesnt she look better with a few more pounds on her?
I think the pics with more fullness to her face look so much better.
Why do women think they have to look so skinny?
Dang... I'm a male, an I still would... er, try to have her baby!!!
You are a good person!!!
"The RATS have learned how to deal with Ann on the Hannity show. They basically scream over her and don't shut up the whole time they're on the air.
Hannity hasn't learned how to turn off their mikes."
He really needs to learn to do so.
Ann is a powerful weapon as she has the courage to connect the dots that most wont and then she will stick to her convictions like most wont.
The left is definately just trying to shout her down now.
Wow! Thanks for the Ann photo-palooza!!!
Looks like Bobbie Byrd can dust off his sheets and wear them in public again. You know if you make someone angry enough eventually they will start showing their true colors.
Hey, you gotta know that if you click on an Ann Coulter thread, you have to hit STOP on the browser if you're on a dial-up after about 30 seconds or so. Enough to load a couple, but not enough for the whole suite.
Of course, if you have broadband, or you can't do without, just let it run...
Ann needs a sammich.
Well, that oughta do it.....for the remainder of this calendar year!
I think even Ann would argree that you have perhaps an unhealthy number of her pictures in your collection!
Nice. That's a good one.
