The speech was Anne's usual "Red Meat" speech and does not disappoint. The "raghead" comments were over the top, but that is vintage Coulter. The main thing I notice is that the reporting on this is mainly Blog spin, and mostly by leftists and their fellow travelers.
The "guest Blogger" reporting on this is one, Daniel Borchers, founder and president of Citizens for Principled Conservatism a self described, "lifelong conservative" who had this to offer about Gov. Dean.
"..Conservative backs Dean's position on war
In The Washington Dispatch - Opinion, Daniel Borchers, founder and president of Citizens for Principled Conservatism (CPC) muses: "Is America now safer from terrorist attacks than it was before the invasion of Iraq? Are we, as a people, better protected against terrorist threats because this tyrant was overthrown? How does the invasion of Iraq prevent a future 9/11? How, exactly, is Howard Dean’s position on Iraq illogical or ill-conceived? How, exactly, is Howard Dean being unpatriotic or treasonous? Far from being a Joker, Howard Dean’s reasonable position on Iraq resonates with millions of Americans"..."
Sites run by Daniel Borchers:
He's a fairy that couldn't cut it as a FReeper. We made meat pie out of him when he used to serve his home made whine around here.
Hmmmm..! Do you remember the screen name?
A hate speach? Ahhh...look at the fellas burning buildings. Look closely at their heads. See the things wrapped around them? Look like wrags? Rest my case...
Eat food Ann. The stuff keeps mind, body and soul together.
"...Conservatism can only endure...if it maintains a commitment to...honor and integrity, honesty and virtue."
"....these character traits are not exclusively conservative in nature and cannot be co-opted by a single political party. Consequently, this coalition reaches across party lines to all those who believe that those core character traits are necessary ingredients for the public square and all those who inhabit it."
One readily gets the impression that there is very little in the way of "conservatism" related to this group. This sounds more like some disguised crap intended to undermine conservatism. I didn't need to go any further into the site to see that this used car had a load of Bondo on it. The paint job is okay, but there's a lot of rot underneath.
Not off the top of my head...he wasn't very remarkable, and most likely would have been zot-bait if he stayed longer.
I swapped an e-mail or two with him...total waste of reasoning IIRC.
A Thin Blonde Liar And The Conservative Determined To Expose Her
"A Thin Blonde Liar And The Conservative Determined To Expose Her
When Brad Friedman was about to debate Ann Coulter on a radio show, he got the usual bile-filled emails:
Then, into this spectacle of spittle and disputum came an email from the gentlemanly Daniel Borchers, expressing that he was (and notice the archaic restraint) “highly critical of Ann Coulter.” Borchers is, if you will, the anti-Coulter, a position he arrives at from a decidedly unexpected corner. He loathes the queen of contumely not because he’s a liberal who’s taken the bait, but because he’s a conservative who thinks she and her kin are a disgrace to the conservative movement.
Borchers works for a labor-management organization dealing with health and safety issues, headquartered in Washington, D.C. He fashions himself an old-school conservative, and has been on a singularly lonely fight for true conservative values and policymaking in America for quite a few years. In 1996, he began publishing a newsletter called BrotherWatch, to combat what he describes as the “growing extremism within the Conservative Movement.” It runs stories about and interviews with personalities from across the broad political spectrum, “from Alan Keyes to Alan Colmes,” says Borchers.
His title as editor earned him media credentials at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), along with permission to distribute his newsletter to attendees. That is, until he actually did so. In 2002, he showed up carrying a special anti-Ann edition of BrotherWatch, which called Coulter on the carpet for, among other things, the “mass of contradictions which abound in her life” and for the “extremist” positions that, following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, seemed to push the “acid-tongued blonde” toward a descent “into madness.”
“BrotherWatch cannot abide her rhetorical excesses and ideological extremes, and the underlying emotional cauldron of hatred which animates so much of what Ann Coulter says and does,” Borchers wrote. “Nor can we tolerate the consequential dysfunctional behavior which is manifested as hypocrisy and mendacity, hate-mongering and abuse of power. These are traits which Coulter exposes in others, traits which no one who calls themselves ‘conservative’ should emulate.”
The issue depicts Coulter on the occasion of the death of her friend Barbara Olson in the plane that crashed into the Pentagon, and decries her disinterest in taking the moment to reflect on Olson’s life of “Christianity, spirituality and graciousness,” preferring instead to “scrounge through the wreckage, find a piece of her…and beat Hillary Clinton over the head with it.”
...Now Borchers is at work on a documentary film titled The Truth About Ann, due out in June to coincide with the anticipated release of Coulter’s next book. Early press materials promise the film “exposes the extremist nature of Conservatism’s preeminent diva and reigning political icon.” Employing liberal doses of Coulter’s many media appearances and miles-long paper trail, it promises to reveal how her brand of “‘New McCarthyism’ is poisoning millions of minds.”
Borchers is starting to produce some smaller PowerPoint presentations highlighting various examples of Coulter’s opportunism. His first presentation, “The Gospel of Ann,” displays Coulter’s “jaw-dropping expression of faith in God…a faith which otherwise seems so empty in everything Coulter does.” Borchers says Coulter’s “track record of practicing what she preaches is pretty dismal.” He hopes the presentation will “call to the attention of fellow Christians (left and right)” the anti-Christian tendencies and hate-speech practices of those, like Coulter, who declare their fealty to the conservative movement while eroding its tenets."
Borchers IS the group.
Too bad you don't recall, I would be very interested in what he posted.
You might be able to track it down on his own web site. He is an enthusiastic self-promoter IIRC and might not be able to resist telling how he outed the pseudo-conservatives of FreeRepublic.
He very much reminded me of a King James Conspiracy Theorist, if you follow my drift.
A patent homo? I figured he was a latent homo who was taking out his hatred of women on Ann. Probably had an overbearing mother who was a blonde.
I dunno...I was being facetious.

"..Ann Coulter Defames Jesus Christ
Following her recent double-defamation of Vietnam war hero Max Cleland, "conservative icon" Ann Coulter now doubly-defames Jesus Christ.
Again using the name of Jesus in partisan polemics, Coulter
. blames Jews for the Holocaust
. blames liberals for terrorism
. denies love in action is the prime directive for Christians
. declares Arabs and Muslims smelly homicidal fanatics
Even as Coulter turns Christianity upside down, her power and prestige grows within the Conservative Movement.
Conservatives should fiercely repudiate Ann Coulter's extremism, character assassination and hate-mongering. After all, evil thrives when good men do nothing.

I don't think the Democrats are running this one. They wouldn't pick one this bad, but they do use his material.
I had to stop in this screed right there. Ann is pretty much spot-on in my estimation. I really don't think this guy would know an "extreme" conservative if one slapped him.
He sounds like just one more liberal branding anything to the right of himself extremist, and trying to ride Ann's hemlines into relevancy.
With all those asinine assertions, you can see why he didn't last long.
Keep 'em Flying Ann!!! Priceless! Poor baby has his shorts in a knot!
I would MUCH rather have Ann on my side!
