Ann Coulter Was Wrong

"Can you not see that those of us thinking Ann was over the top with some of those statements are being attacked?"

I see you are too busy playing the victim card. Never mind.

[Kenny Bunkport]

LOL. You've probably put your finger on it. I notice a lot of self-identified conversatives have gone ballistic over this particular Coulter book. I suspect it's the subject matter. Talk about leftist treason and present an apologetic for Joe McCarthy, that's acceptable. Suggest that certain elements of our society are "godless," which quite frankly includes some elements of the conservative community, and it's unacceptable. Fact is, there are a good number of people on the right who are, essentially, godless, and many of whom worship at the same altar of politics as the left (although from a different viewpoint). I see these people every day on FR. I think she's hit a raw nerve with our more radically secular brethren.

Victim? Me? ROFL

Hardly, sweetie. But it's nice of you to be concerned.

[Pukin Dog]

Just a few adjustments?

and then spoils brings attention to it with some over-the-top comment that givesdrives liberals an opening to make HER insane and ignore her salient points - as her book rockets to #1 on every list due to all of the attention her books get.

[sinkspur]

What we seem to have here is a lack of understanding of the meaning of the word "enjoy".

When you have to explain the meaning of a commonly-used and defined word, you've lost the argument.

[Echo Talon]

Ann Coulter does the same job as Al Franken but for the opposing team. They're both mean and obnoxious insult-mongers and perpetrators of lowbrow propaganda.

BS Franken outright lies.

If Michael Moore had said the same thing abot Lisa Beamer that Ann Coulter said about the Jersey Girls, what would Free Republic have to say about it?

Apples and oranges. Lisa Beamer has used the death of her husband to encourage in people the sorts of character traits her husband displayed on 9/11. As an act of love and grief, she honored her husband's memory. And no one is has suggested that the method that she uses to honor that memory--or any political move she makes henceforth--is beyond criticism.

[Sam Hill]

Could be. Or perhaps he hates her so because she is effective.

Did you read any of Sinkspur's (many, many) post about Haditha?

He convicted the Marines faster than John Murtha.

He always takes the other side. Unfailingly.

It can't be an accident after all these years.

[Plutarch]

Geez, Ann gets dumped on by the Right for being just a little tart, but Leftist pundits foam at the mouth everday in every way. Just for yucks, I read Molly Ivin's latest bilge:

I realize it's silly to let really stupid people upset you, but I have had it with the wingnuts who go about claiming that liberals are delighted about Haditha or want to use it for nefarious public relations purposes. Listen, twits, if you can't stop your petty little partisan political games long to enough to recognize Sad when you see it, then shut up.

Molly isn't being very nice is she? She is telling us to STFU, calling conservatives "wingnuts", "stupid", and "twits". But, Molly is liberal, so its okay.

[Kenny Bunkport]

much smarter people than I have demolished her populist arguments against evolution

Care to name one?

[Steve_Seattle]

" . . . no, we really wouldn't because if they WERE supporting the war effort and/or President Bush we would never have heard of them."

How true. A recent case in point: Who did CNN give a platform to the day after Zarqawi was killed? Bush/Iraq War critic Michael Berg. For 24 hours, CNN became The Michael Berg Channel, e.g., Bush is a bigger terrorist than Zarqawi, etc. Of course, no one in the media said that BERG was over the top.

[JustaCowgirl]

a valid point about the common practice of the left to hide behind sympathetic human shields and using these tragic figures as spokesperson for their agenda

And about the practice of certain 'tragic' figures to cooperate and participate fully in that process, presumably because they're getting something out of it.

The Jersey Girls and Sheehan give every indication of reveling in the process of being 'used,' and every appearance of forgetting or downplaying the tragic circumstances that got them there. Not only that, there is no doubt that their behavior and the fawning of the media and the Democrats over them and their personal opinions is highly offensive to many others who suffered like tragedies and don't share their political views.

They don't seem to care a fig about whether their behavior is offensive to other people in a similar position, their self-absorption and delusions of grandeur are far too complete for that.

We expect dogs to urinate on fire hydrants. We don't expect human beings to emulate them.

[Pukin Dog]

Didnt know you had such a low opinion of Freepers. If Michael Moore or anyone else said something THAT WAS TRUE about Lisa Beamer, we would say so. If you are looking for knee-jerk reactionaries,..... uh,.........never mind.

Coulter: "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

Kincaid: "[S]he is claiming to have inside knowledge of the personal psychology of this group of women who lost their husbands on 9/11."

--- The 4 (and only those 4) Jersey Girls have become rich, famous, sought-after celebrities, due to the simple fact that their husbands died. I believe this to be the point of that particular sentence of Ms Coulter's. Why only these 4? Why are former nobodies suddenly nearing Paris Hilton luminance?

[Navy Patriot]

Rules?

ALLAH SNACKBAR!

[MSSC6644]

Coulter was saying "I have never seen," she did not say "there have never been," and her "evidence" would be her own perception,

THANK YOU! As a former teacher of English, I was beginning to believe that no one knows how to read anymore.

[Logical me]

Quite a few of us, if you take the time to read the thread.

Well, that just impresses me. But if does tell me where some of you stand.

I will used this rebuttal the next time you try and explain the word "theory" :)
