T. SowellI submit that this guy is unknown to the masses... his conservative ideas are not known.
Ann, on the other hand, knows what she is doing. Leave her alone, she can take care of things with out your help.
The masses have and will continue to come to learn her ideas.
I wondered about that. And it IS her style.
More importantly, our standards are higher than that, or at least should be.
I am enjoying seeing someone with the credentials and the ***** to bring the fight to the losers. They have had exclusive ownership of hyperbole and demagoguery for generations.
Lampooning may be "in bad taste", but tres satisfying for us knuckle-dragging insensitive homophobic, mean-spirited, racist members of the VRWC...
Not that comment, what she said was over the line. Her act is getting a tad old.
Malveaux said that about Clarence Thomas, in the hope that he would die from a heart attack.
Right you are. That's the big difference: We are the grownups. The Democrats are the whining, complaining children.
Thanks very much for your note.
Not really. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and simply chalk it up as slavishness to PC, and a touch of "holier than thou"...
Completely over the line. Even more so than a "Cheney should eat more butter so he had a heart attack", this is a advocacy of murder.
Was it a joke? Does it matter? She was in a public setting addressing a large group. She is a popular political commentator and she knows that what she says reflects upon Conservatives. Joking about murdering a Supreme Court Justice is inexcusable, both in content and in effect upon the Conservative movement.
I think she needs to realize that no one is above the rules, not even Ann Coulter. We wouldn't stand for it from Bill Clinton, we shouldn't stand for it from one of our own.
How about a joke about a bottle of booze, a duck, and a cliff?
" Because there are unstable people out there, because it was a crude comment."
And so obviously in jest that taking it seriously is absurd.
But are you telling me now some will be thinking, "hmmm, rat poison...cappucino"??
And what was the matter with that sentiment? And she said we should kill their leaders and convert them to Christians.
I agree.
90 Plus posts and no pics of Ann you all should be ashamed....
I'm not sure she's ever gotten over the whole NR/Jonah Golberg fallout. Her ego was bruised and I think it still shows sometimes in the things she says.
Of questionable taste I grant you. But..... Ann is no party rep and has no official GOP position, and is free to engage in such hyperbole. If demand for her on the lecture circuit drops off or her books stop selling, she will see the error of her ways. In the meantime I think she should let 'er rip!
That's Ann. She's unpredictable and off the cuff when she plays. She's got a unique sesne of humor. But she's no politician, is she?
She will cut with precision OR she'll "club with a mallet." Her tone was in total jest.
The joke may be in "poor taste" to some, but some of us "get it."
I know but some assault and some defend... the ones defending are too busy.
give us time.
I disagree. That's four-and-a-half years ago, and if anything Ann is more in demand today than then. She's had three best-sellers in that time. Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry would kill to have the widespread conservative appeal that Ann Coulter does.
