Why do morons think that can change people's minds by insulting them? This has to rank as one of the stupidest 'arguements' of all time.
Good point. Although you may not have meant it in this sense, Ann Coulter is definitely not going to change Bush's mind on Meirs by insulting Meir's law school, since SMU is the alma mater of Bush's wife. I look to John Kerry for an attitude that sneers at hinterland schools - - that's not supposed to be the outlook of conservatives. It's clearly not Bush's outlook. I was disappointed to learn that it's the outlook of a lot of our D.C. conservative pundits.
The pattern is unmistakable - no one is interested in answering our concerns, only in telling us how terrible we are for having them. This has been the prelude to the bait-and-switch in the past, what has now become the stock technique for the corporatists in the GOP to silence the conservatives.
