You don't attack widows, I don't care what kind of crazy stuff they do

That attitude is EXACTLY what Coulter is working against.

Widowhood does not confer authority on the manner in which one became a widow.

Further, a widow shouldn't get a pass if she's acting like a freak. Widowhood doesn't immunize one from criticism (or shouldn't, in a sane society).

Finally, I don't think even you, Earthdweller, would argue that Coulter has no right to say what she thinks. That would be intolerant and would reek of censorship.

[LexBaird]

Now that Ann has crossed that line, they will parade her around as the spokesperson for the female right.

Only if you let them. The "race" card, "hate" card or any other "victim" card only have power over those who buy into the concept of group guilt or group victimhood.

Coulter speaks for Coulter. Who cares if some Leftist demagogue wants to try to make you feel guilty for Coulter's words? You didn't say them. You either agree with them, in which case you should proudly throw it into the demagogue's face, or you don't, in which case you bear no association with them and no guilt.

"Finally, I don't think even you, Earthdweller, would argue that Coulter has no right to say what she thinks. That would be intolerant and would reek of censorship."

Sure she can say what she wants and I have the right to call her on it when she jumps the shark. We were counting on her and she is letting us down.

[Earthdweller]

"Who cares if some Leftist demagogue wants to try to make you feel guilty for Coulter's words? "

I do care what she says..I was cheering her own a few months ago.

[Earthdweller]

own = on

[DCPatriot]

Smart move, IMO.

[Xenalyte]

I don't feel let down. I consider her to have spoken correctly, and - let's not lose sight of this - she was voicing her opinion. One need not substantiate an opinion. If substantiation were called for, it wouldn't be an opinion; it'd be a fact.

[LexBaird]

I do care what she says..I was cheering her own a few months ago.

Sorry, but that's not the vibe I'm getting from you. It seems you don't care so much what Coulter says as much as how you think her saying it may reflect on you.

Jesse Jackson isn't "the Voice of Blacks", Cindy Sheehan isn't "the Voice of Military Families", and Ann Coulter isn't "the Voice of Conservative Women." Cheer her when you agree, post your own opinion when you don't, but don't make the error of feeling guilty for what some broadbrushing leftist tries to put on you. Groupthink is for sheep.

The Poles were just plain unlucky.
After fighting valiantly with just 10 men for so long, they get hit with this.
But then that's soccer for ya.

[Jameison]

"We were counting on her and she is letting us down."

You and who exactly?

"Widowhood does not confer authority on the manner in which one became a widow.

Bingo!
That's a message we need to keep hammering the RATS and the loony left "tragedy human shield" practitioners.

[Jameison]

"You are the most insulting person I have come across in my two years on FR."

You don't say?
Mind you, I did warn ya in my post # 24. I'll just cut and paste for you again :

"You know what?
Why don't you quit while you still have some dignity left?
A few more posts and you'll be mincemeat."

You shoulda taken my advise.
Ah well.
