Ann Coulter Speaks, Crowd Erupts
Human Events ^ | 02/10/06 | Ivy J. Sellers

Posted on 02/11/2006 1:56:55 PM PST by george76

Ann Coulter...was definitely Friday’s biggest draw at CPAC 2006.

From the get-go the conservative columnist had the crowd cheering and was frequently interrupted by applause.

Many of Coulter’s talking points came from recent news events -- such as “the great Danish cartoon caper” and President Bush’s Supreme Court nominees.

“Muslims are the only group who kill because people call them violent,” she said of Islam’s rage over the printing of Muhammad cartoons.

Speaking about the nation's highest court, Coulter not only expressed elation at Justice Samuel Alito’s confirmation, she also shared her feelings on Chief Justice John Roberts ...

She had fun impersonating Sen. Hillary Clinton, mocking Clinton’s MLK Day remarks on “the slave plantation” in the House of Representatives, adding: “And you know what I’m talkin’ about, girlfriend.”

“I can say that by the way,” Coulter said. “My party freed the slaves.”

Democrats have three major planks, she explained: “Abortion on demand, gay marriage and banning the Boy Scouts.

Someday they’ll find a way to combine them all and figure out how to abort all future Boy Scouts.”

"Those are all true statements with no hypocrisy."

lol.... er, I was talking about the way you said them and about your claims that you only respect people who are "kind" and "decent". Is this really too complicated for you to grasp?

"So apparently I need to find someone serious to discuss issues with and leave you alone, eh, monday?"

No. Just someone very slow and nice. Forrest Gump comes to mind. I am sure he would agree with you that being polite is more important than being right.

..but yes, leave me alone.

Since dislike Coulter so much, (because of the way she expresses herself) don't read her and don't post on her threads. Confine yourself to the conservative commentators you like. You'd probably like Gergen and Carlson.

Gergen?? LOL! You want me to take you seriously after you make this kind of comment?

So, only people who adore Ann are now permitted to comment on threads about her? Give me a break. Join a fan club if you want to curtail others' free speech about dear Ann.

Please get this straight. My 'dislike' of Ann occurred when SHE behaved like an elitist boor. I used to respect her. Maybe if she reads enough comments from the thousands of people like me who thought she was WAY out of line about Miers, she'll think twice about attacking a person's character when she hasn't got a clue as to what that character is.

I don't want to 'drum' her out of the Conservative movement. I want her to behave responsibly as a conservative ought to. Say whatever she wants........as long as it is ACCURATE, and without uncontrolled emotions.

She didn't do that with Miers. GET IT??

You folks DO realize that you are guilty of the very thing that you are accusing 'bushbots' of being, don't you? This is quite remarkable.

There is no conflict between being a decent and honest person, and calling a person on lying. You lied. I called you on it. I am decent and honest, and you are whining.

It's clear that you enjoy your tunnel vision however, so I'll leave you to it.

When you want to engage in serious thought and discussion about the real world, let me know.

This thread seems a little different from the ones calling Ann a "racist" for calling muslims "ragheads". Is Islam now considered a race??

Ann is in dire need of a big plate of potatoes and sausage gravy admistered twice a day until further notice.

You've been around here almost 6 years and you just figured that out? Thanks for contributing.

"There is no conflict between being a decent and honest person, and calling a person on lying. You lied. I called you on it. I am decent and honest,"

jeeze. You really are slow.. I thought you were putting me on. One more try.... You not only called me a lier, but you did so in a nasty, smarmy, way that makes you a hypocrite since the whole basis for your argument is that people should only discuss things in a nice polite way.

If you still don't get it I give up. BTW. You cannot simply call yourself "decent and honest" and expect it to be true. It's sort of like giving yourself a good citizenship badge and expecting others to respect you for it. What you are is for others to decide, and frankly, "decent and honest" aren't the qualities that leap to mind.

You said you respected Ann until she was mean to Mier. That means you think shes right, shes just not polite enough for you. In other words, politeness is more important than being right to you. Why do I have to explain everything to you?

I'm actually quite intelligent, monday, and I obviously hurt your feelings by calling you on your lie (in a 'smarmy' way, was it?). Actually you have told multiple lies about me, and it's wearisome (is that smarmy too?).

I can only presume that you will continue lying about me, since you apparently have no qualms about doing so, if this conversation goes on, so it really is pointless now, isn't it?

I am decent and honest, and I can bring several hundred character witnesses on FR to back that fact up........not that it would make any difference to you.

You are emotionally upset that I called you on your lie. There's not much I can do until you calm down, go back and read what I've said objectively keeping in mind that it was in response to what YOU said first. I don't think that's gonna happen.

Good day, monday. It IS your day, after all. Enjoy it.

Wow. Never had a course in logic, did you?

That's quite a creative conclusion you drew there with insufficient data, monday. But I'm sure it made sense to you, so I WILL leave you alone. LOL!

No one's asking you to join a fan club. Don't like Coulter - just ignore her. Ever hear of Reagan's 11th commandment? I won't even address the straw man hyperbole.

Please get this straight. My 'dislike' of Ann occurred when SHE behaved like an elitist boor. I used to respect her. Maybe if she reads enough comments from the thousands of people like me who thought she was WAY out of line about Miers, she'll think twice about attacking a person's character when she hasn't got a clue as to what that character is.

She didn't do that with Miers. GET IT Why are still bringing this up? Miers is over and done with. Coulter and Co. were right, Bush was wrong. And Coulter doesn't give a damn what you or I think. ??

If you like Tucker Carlson, and think conservatives should walk on egg shells to avoid offending liberals, thats your right. Coulter think differently, thank God. I'll take her over a Girly-boy like Goldberg or Lowry any day of the week.

You folks DO realize that you are guilty of the very thing that you are accusing 'bushbots' of being, don't you? This is quite remarkable.

Please point out the link between my comment and this comment. I don't see the connection. "Bushbots"? Never used the term. "You Folks" - who is that?

I saw it. "Little Sheet Heads" is quite good, but I do prefer "ragtops". Or a$$holes...

Yes. That's why I abhor Ann's indecent attacks on fellow Republicans.

You told me I shouldn't speak here because I no longer respect Ann Coulter...........(and I did, trust me..........I DID). You want only those who like Ann to post on threads about her..........how is that a 'strawman hyperbole?' IS this a fan club? Or is it a discussion forum?

And why shouldn't I address the reason that Ann lost me as a reader and supporter? She has lost a lot of people like me because of her injudicious and emotionally charged attacks on Harriet Miers.

I expect Conservatives to be thoughtful and accurate, and ANN WAS NOT.

And who said I like Tucker Carlson? Why are you making things up? Can't you stick with the facts? Do you require fantasy to support your very weak arguments against me?

(And why are you putting your own words in bold type as though I said them? I don't swear. Don't do that).

I bring all of this about Ann up because character matters to me. What I saw in Ann, and have seen since, is a lack of character. I have seen 'look at me' attention grabbing hyperbole directed at fellow conservatives. I prefer thinking conservatives.....rational conservatives.......decent conservatives. Ann no longer qualifies, IMO, and that, sir, is relevant to THIS thread...... and no attempt to silence me by an ann-fan will succeed.

"If you think Ann Coulter is either a BABE or an intellectual, then you might be a redneck! ;-)"


LMAO!

She's about 30 pounds of weight in the right places from being a 'BABE'..

Your attempt to silence me because I don't adore ann is exactly what the bashers routinely accuse 'bots' of doing.

I've never tried to silence an opponent of George W. Bush (other than obvious DU trolls), yet you have tried to silence me........ THAT is the connection.

(And your comments about Gergen and Carlson, relative to my criticism of Coulter, are bordering on the bizarre.....)

"He can't get the things done he wants to because of the obstructionist democrats. "


Then he's not much of a politician. History won't often present a (R) President with a rubber-stamp GOP House and a GOP-majority Senate the way it has Bush.

Don't absolve the weak-spined R's in Congress for the impasse, Blzbba.

A President isn't a dictator. Three branches of government, remember? Actually, considering the obstructionists and the wimps, he's gotten an amazing amount done.

Even more than Reagan.

Re your #23 - Now that you mention it, are we the only ones who think that she's been looking a little anorexic lately?

Whatever it is, she just hasn't been looking all that healthy.

Kinda worried about the lady, frankly.

I agree with everything you say OWF. I was outraged too over the Harriet statements and she was way over the line against President Bush. I have forgiven her since she is back on target and hopefully she never goes here again.

Fact is with Miers, I was wrong thinking that Alito couldn't be elected. The tactics were wrong but the outcome turned out just fine. Completely respect everything you say it's just that she is a very effective weapon.
