I don't mind edge - for some reason I find her edge phony/manufactured. Can't explain why think so but I do. She advocated converting the Middle East to Christianity - sure I would love that, but it is not going to happen until Jesus returns. Ann is not stupid - she knows this won't happen so my conclusion was she said that to get a shock value and controversy and get her name in papers.

She said that in her article that was a tribute to her friend who was killed in the plane that hit the Pentagon, she was just venting, you know that.

I find her very entertaining and provocative but I also believe she is considered a 'bomb thrower' by the middle (if there is a middle?). Laura, on the other hand, comes from a lawyer background and likes to engage the other side by drawing them in before she smacks them up side the head. I like that.


Beyond that, I'll try to say it again, there is a coming clash between Laura and the Wonkette in some arena at some time.

"She advocated converting the Middle East to Christianity "

Don't you get her humor? Don't you get scarcasm when you see it. You are not supposed to take everything word for word.

She advocated converting the Middle East to Christianity - sure I would love that, but it is not going to happen until Jesus returns.

She said we SHOULD, which you just agreed with, so I don't see your problem.

That's not necessarily true, regardless if any particular eschatological viewpoint. i'm sure people may have said the same thing any given region of the world throughout the centuries (that later became "christianized").
