"If true, the statement by Colter is racist and dispicable."

The use of the word "Arab" does NOT refer to race. There is no such thing as an Arab race. Arab ethnicity, yes, but not race. The constant use of "race-hate" as a bashing term is far MORE despicable than Coulter's reference to Thomas's ethnicity.

So what? There is no such thing as a Jewish race either, but I don't like Jews being slurred. Ethnicity and race are often entertwined, as in the cases of the Arabs and the Jews. It was obviously brining up her race for percieved negative implications, again, if true.


But regardless of if it is true or not, one thing is absolutely certain as far as I am concerned: Ann is a demagog. It's time smart conservatives realize this. She does us about as much good as Moore does the Liberals. We are just lucky she's not as successful, or else we might have lost the election.

What about "Jew" ... is it a race thing or a religious thing?

Hear hear.

Coulter should have said: "That old Semite, Helen Thomas"
