"Liberals don't like Ann Coulter because she plays by their rules."
Bingo!!! You nailed it!


Yes, indeed!

We haven't had such insights since Amy Carter, at 12, gave us her opinions on nuclear weapons.

Ah yes.... I remember it well... such an insightful 12 year old, so afeared of nuclear proliferation, even though Babwa Wawa couldn't pronounce it.... (and of course dutifully reported ad nauseum by the faithful press (including Babwa Wawa)... all the time... every day... all week.... )

I no longer consider myself a Republican, or even a conservative.

Another idiot who would fault you for shooting the dog mauling her. The world is full of these self-righteous twits. The thing most important to them is the opportunity to advertise their moral superiority.

I have no use for them. They stab their friends in the back every time they have an audience that will aprove of it.

I thought the same thing. Rand was much closer to Ann in content and demeanor than wishy washy lib.

My reaction was the same as that of Darkwolf. This chicklette never had a Bush-Cheney sticker on her door at Tufts - and probably no one else at Tufts did either.

She's either very naive or very dishonest. If she's a sophomore now, she was about 6 or 7 when Clinton was elected President and 12 or 13 during the period when the Lewinsky scandal dominated the news...and probably being taught by teachers who idolized Clinton. What part of Coulter's gibe did she object to--the "horny" part or the "hick" part? Perhaps she was raised to see nothing objectionable about Clinton's sexual ethics.

"I went home that night and tore my Bush-Cheney sticker off my door, and took my Bush "Taking America forward" pin off my bulletin board. I no longer consider myself a Republican, or even a conservative. From this day forward I choose the path of true progress. Consider me an objectivist."

Oh, she's going to start reading Ayn Rand?

:-)

Ann is too kind. I prefer to call Clinton a rapist bastard. He is both, you know. The rapist part is obvious, and his mom was impregnated by another man she apparently married before her divorce was final.

I think you all miss where this young woman is coming from. She wants a real dialog on issues, not the hardball crossfire shouting match of barbed tongues.

Admittedly, Coulter is better at the latter, and most Liberals don't have enough respect for conservatism PERIOD to have such a dialog.

But this naive Sophomore probably should be exposed to something better than various descriptions of Clinton, if she is to have a political education.

I frankly dont see why the rudeness of Tufts Liberals or Coulter's style should force her to take it out on Bush/Cheney.
it's as silly a OReilly saying he wont tell us who he's voting for because it would ruin his "objectivity". lol. nobody is objective.

But she's attempting to try to be 'objective' ie find her way - hopefully the Tufts environment wont warp her mind too much on the way out. I prescribe:

Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and

bastiat's the Law.

Ashley Samelson is a sophomore who has yet to declare a major.
==================================================

She is sophomoric, and her major will obviously not be logic. To leave the party and conservative movement after hearing a debate is foolish. Many people changed after 9/11. A debate, Ashley dear, is not equivalent and life changing.

Oh, puh-leeze. Wait a minute, I've got my tiny violin here somewhere....

Listen, I can't stand Ann Coulter. The woman is a loon, and the only thing she has going for her is a head of hair and a loud mouth. I gave up on her when I heard her say on Sean Hannity that we didn't need a two-party system at all; all we needed was one party and that was the Republicans. Sean tried to laugh it off but she was serious. There's a name for a one-party system, and I hope never to hear it applied to the USA.

That said, anyone who would change parties just because of one loudmouth idiot is probably an idiot herself.

I wonder why Beinart decided to get his butt kicked again by Ann? Last October they were on Book TV debating the election. She wiped the floor with him.

I went home that night and tore my Bush-Cheney sticker off my door..

The fact that a Bush-Cheney sticker lasted on any door in any kollege for more than 36 minutes (unless it was on the inside) is astonishing. The fact that it lasted until March before a republican took it off is a miracle.

Yeah, they're real "objective" about Nixon.

Ashley Samelson should intern with Maureen Dowd to hone her faking skills.

"Ann is old enough to be my mom, I think, but geez, she's so hot."

You have good taste.

Ann is old enough to be my Granddaughter and she is very hot.
