Just like you can't call someone a "bum", "tramp", "wino" or "hobo" anymore. Now, it's an ill-clothed, underhoused, non-employment-seeking, fermented beverage consumer...

Yeah, but prisoner transport vehicles are still called "Paddy Wagons."

I still can't figure out which ethnic/racial/religious/socio-economic descriptors are A-OK and which ones aren't.

I would infer that you think that this wolf-crying is widespread. Do you?

Given the fact we're basing the State Department's new office of Anti-Semitism commissars on events that occured in Petersburg and France and an inscrutable Easterner's ejaculation ... yeah, I guess you could say I think the wolf-crying is not only "widespread" but strangely institutionalized, thanks to Bush's initiative.

Curiouser and curiouser ... these "strict Constitutionalist" conservatives.


New Law Requires Report on Global Anti-Semitism


President Bush on October 16 signed into law the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act of 2004 which establishes a State Department Office to monitor anti-Semitism around the world. The Act passed with strong backing from Congress, but opposition from the State Department itself, which objected to reports on different religions or ethnicities separate form the global human rights report and religious freedom reports that the Department prepares annually.

President Bush affirmed that, in the context of spreading democracy abroad, “extending freedom also means confronting the evil of anti-Semitism.” He pledged that the U.S. would “keep watch” and “make sure that the ancient impulse of anti-Semitism never finds a home in the modern world.”

The bill requires the State Department to document acts of physical violence against Jews, their property, cemeteries and places of worship abroad, as well as government responses to such acts.

Among the attacks that prompted passage of the bill, the sponsors mentioned the burning of a Jewish synagogue in Toulon, France, last March, the desecration of about 50 Jewish gravestones in St. Petersburg, Russia, in February, and the recent claim by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad that Jews "rule the world by proxy."

NCSJ President Joel Schindler praised the bill’s passage, saying that Congress "has now provided new avenues" for combating anti--Semitism around the world.

In September, more than 100 prominent Americans sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsing the measure. "The fight against anti-Semitism deserves specific, focused attention," said the letter signed by Jeane Kirkpatrick, President Reagan’s ambassador to the United Nations, former Republican Rep. Jack Kemp and others.

(Whaaa ? Jack Kemp is a "former Republican"? Didn't he run as Vice President last time they sent Bob "Down Boy" Dole up the flagpole to "send a message.")

Nothing like a Coulter article to check the vitals on the deconstruction of the so-called "conservative" mind. She and Horowitz are my faves for this sort of thing.

You can almost hear Gramsci screech: "Piece of cake ... I told you so!!"

(Which reminds me that there is far better reading among the links of this article than ever shall appear in the comments (or the text) of an Ann Coulter thread. Oh for the days of True signal:noise)

'Another few threads like this and I may bail on this place.'

I'll start searching. Don't forget your opus.

Her and Mike Savage are our version of Michael Moore, and should be shunned.

Knock yourself out, dude.

Oh man, she should wear one... permanently.

Are these two related?

Schwew ...

A glut of "former Democrats" is one thing ... I guess Kemp's turning coat like some Log Cabin sort would be more obvious, even, than nominating Dole for President.

=)

I suspect the State Department's new Office of Anti-Semitism stands ready to assist confused taxpayers such as yourself on precisely which Hate or Thought Crimes are, and are not, actionable.

Your tax dollars at word, Comrade! We are living right!

“Press passes can’t be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president.”

LOL! That's great!

She is not old, she is youth deprived.

Helen's got more wrinkles than an elephants scrotum.

"I don't hear quite the indignation when Arabs/Muslims cut heads off innocents on TV, blow up women and children on the streets and murder judges they don't like."

And claim religious basis to kill people of other faiths or to rape 10 year old girls and boys..

I disagree with Ayn on that one.. we should invade their countries, and KILL THEM ALL.

Coulter was, perhaps, taking a cue from the White House

Dubya probably WISHES she would shut up, but she isn't taking cues from anyone.
