Best selling author and conservative pundit Ann Coulter told Alan Colmes on the "Hannity and Colmes" show on Fox News last night that she meant it when she wrote in her book "How to Talk to a Liberal - If You Must," now out in paperback, that the rules for talking to a liberal forbid complimenting or showing graciousness to, or flattering a Democrat.
Colmes then told Coulter that Pat Tillman, the former pro football player turned Army Ranger who was killed in Afghanistan, was pro-John Kerry and against the war in Iraq. "You were quoted in the San Fransisco Chronicle yesterday" Colmes continued, saying that Tillman "was virtuous and pure, as only an American male can be. I wonder if you still would say those things" knowing he was a Democrat?
"No, but I don't believe it," she said. "I think you got that from one of those document that Mary Mapes (The producer of the bogus CBS News story on George W. Bush's Guard service) handed in to Dan Rather."
Sean Hannity then asked her about the story on her Web site, about the two Indiana firefighters volunteering to help the people of New Orleans who were sent by FEMA to an eight hour class on sexual harassment and equal opportunity, rather than straight to the Crescent City to aid residents. Ann notes on her site, "Anyone who works for FEMA for more than two weeks is required to take training programs in 'awareness and prevention of sexual harassment,' 'equal rights officer orientation,' and 'valuing diversity.'"
She told Hannity it was just another case of "Welcome to the federal government.
"That's what we ought to be having hearings on. That's what I think [former FEMA boss] Michael Brown should have been asked about. I assume this applies to all federal agencies, which is why in general, conservatives don't want to federalize everything. This is what you get when you get FEMA."
Hannity said, I think you could do a whole book just on this topic!" No, Coulter disagreed, the diversity training before you can go and rescue people says it all.
Today on Fox News' "Dayside" program, Coulter commented on Tom Delay's indictment by a Texas grand jury, saying it is pure politics by prosecutor Ronnie Earle and is a perfect example of the need for her book because Liberals want Republicans outlawed, and they "would like to put us all in Guantanamo."
I had an uncle that served in England(support unit)and another on the USS Idaho battleship in the Pacific.
The uncle in England had orders to go to the Pacific after a brief rest in America.
Thank God for the A Bomb.
What does it matter? The man did what he thought was right while the vast marjority of us sat on our asses while armchair quarterbacking the whole thing from our keyboards.
Then man is entitled to support who he wants. He could have support Sharpton for all I care.
"Then man is entitled to support who he wants. He could have support"
I agree and stated so in a subsequent post. My main concern about this story is that I suspect it is bogus, and hence, a defamation of this patriot.
Since learning about DU here ..... I must confess that I went there twice and probably never will again.
LOL! Now.. I've been told that if I wanted to marry someone as loyal as an old dog....I should find a firefighter! Ann obviously agrees!
When I worked on a ranch in Wyoming we would castrate cattle which is how I suppose Colmes feels after debating Coulter.
Being a Ranger does not mean you automatically vote for the smarter candidate (in this case, Bush). Look at Wesley Clark. The guy was a Ranger as well, and the guy is as dumb as they come (remember when he cried "Help, Mary!" to the reporters swarming him?).
Dems come in all shapes and colors (hell, even some with SEAL tridents..look at how smart Ventura is. NOT!)
Why would I?
IMHO, if nobody cares, the defamation is ineffective. I suspect that more than anything, they wanted to see Republicans chomping at the bit and going buts trying to "disprove" the story.
If it is indeed some king of bees-nest-whacking conspiracy, a collective *shrug* would piss them off more than anything else.
Declare "so what" and tip your hat to the man for doing what he did. Things like this are quite difficult to prove, so the wild goose chase to do so is just a distraction. Part o the game.
Amazing stories from the truly "Greatest Generation"
"Dems come in all shapes and colors (hell, even some with SEAL tridents..look at how smart Ventura is. NOT!)"
Ditto that....
Never Compliment a DemocratI dunno. I thought Harry Truman wasn't too bad. Andrew Jackson, too.
