How about never posting it again? You're pushing your luck.

Listen, you and your buds can keep posting smut, or you can shape up and post political conservative posts. Think about that. FR is not an internet porn group, there are plenty of sexy groups you can join outside of this site, and we won't hesitate to remove you.

The Dems, says the author, have "become the 'Lifetime' TV network of political parties."

Oh, that's a good line. That's a good, good, good line. That's a good line!

'Godless' Causes Liberals to Pray ... For a Book Burning [COULTER]

I dedicate this column to John Murtha, the reason soldiers invented fragging.

In response to the arguments of my opponents, I say:

Waaaaaaaaaah! Boo hoo hoo!
If you're upset about what I said about the Witches of East Brunswick, try turning the page. Surely, I must have offended more than those four harpies. Wait 'til you get a load of what I say about liberals in the rest of the book! You haven't seen the half of it.

For snarling victims, my book is Christmas in July. Hey -- where's Max the grenade-dropper? Let's keep this diaper-fest going all summer...

Great article, Ron. Thanks.

Ann Coulter's new book Godless: The Church of Liberalism is a rollicking read very tightly reasoned and hard to argue with. After all, the progressive mind regards it as backward and primitive to let religion determine every aspect of your life, but takes it as advanced and enlightened to have the state determine every aspect of your life.

Very well put. It's suspicious when someone endlessly argues about a couple of paragraphs regarding the Jersey widows in a 200+ page book. The question is... have they read the book? I'm confident they haven't, but they just parrot the liberal line that Ann is terribly mean to these individuals.

What's insane, however, and lends a certain degree of laughter, is seeing angry mobs of “readers” disparaging and insulting Ann over these couple of paragraphs, and accusing Ann of disparaging and insulting the Liberal women. I mean, talk about projection. This sad scenario speaks more of those making such hideous comments than it speaks of Ann herself.

When these same people keep trashing Ann over and over again over the same couple of paragraphs and not about any other paragraph in her entire book, they are doing it under the pretense of defending the 4 Liberal women, in order to release their personal shortcomings and negativity.

Why should the Jersey widows be exempt from criticism when they have made a habit of denouncing President Bush and undermining the war on terror in a very public way, while each of them gets richer in the process?

I have expressed my opposition and unhappiness when Ann criticized Harriet Miers, but I also give credit where credit is due. And Ann is 100% RIGHT here.

Keep up the good work, Ann.

LOL!
Hiya, Vic!
Check out THIS "classic Coulter" quote, from her appearance today on Fox News "Dayside, as posted on www.newshounds.us:

...Part way through the discussion, Coulter was asked by a fan in the audience what she thought the death of al Zarqawi would mean in terms of the end of the war in Iraq.

Coulter called his death "a huge blow against the insurgency" because now Al Qaeda must replace him...

-- snip --

"...Each person moves up in Al Qaeda.

The number 3 guy’s number 2 now. The number 11 guy’s number 10, and the number 48 guy is now Howard Dean," she said, looking very pleased with herself as the audience laughed and applauded.

"And by the way, I meant to say that. If you want to know if I really meant to say that, yes."

I am not surprised that Mark Steyn, in his wisdom, agrees with me.

Pukin, when you get up on your soap box, you're as good as the best of them...

"But nobody paid the slightest heed to this line. For all the impact my column had, I might as well have done house calls.

Steyn's selling himself short on this one -- he's a wellspring of conservative ideas -- and that's of great value.

Good observations, Victoria. I liked this article a lot - if more people were like Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter, the world would be a much better place!

The Jersey Girls were loud critics of the admin up until mid 2004, when they began shilling for Kerry and became political figures themselves. They can't hide behind the 'mourning widow' gimmick forever. Indeed, as has been pointed out, the political left likes to deploy these types of 'victims' because they are difficult to argue against on account of the sympathy factor.

Ann torpedoed them and now, their game is over. That's why they are angry, and their apologists are flipping out.

It's remarkable that liberals/leftists like to say how sensitive and tolerant they are, but if someone dares defy them, they are the most bitter, negative, and combative little people around.

So much for being so sensitive, huh?

The reason the MSM and a lot of the Amercian people don't like Ann Coulter is because they don't like to hear the truth. The majority of mindless, Godless democrats would rather worship at the altar of Oprah Winfrey.

THIS beautiful graphic of Ann (created by FReeper TexasBeth) reminds me of some the artwork on YOUR profile page:

I don't like Ann Coulter's style very much (almost witty, but not quite - she's a little heavy-handed), but I agree with most of what she says. The media folks are obviously completely freaked out by her, which is a good thing in my mind.

I thought so, too!

The QUOTE in that image, of course, comes from Ann's interview with Jay Leno last week:

LENO: Now, do you travel, like, with a bodyguard now?

COULTER: Well, I travel with conservative men.
They're -- they're pretty fearsome.

Unlike the liberals you showed the last time I was on when I spoke on a college campus. We got the nuanced liberals throwing food, and they missed.

Yeah, unlike them, I think my male friends can take 'em.



Ann, having fun at the post-taping party with some FEARSOME conservative men.

The trouble with this line is that hardly anyone was objecting to the professional widow routine pre-Coulter

Excellent,excellent point. That's why her hyperbole bothers me not.

I had to remind him, the attacks of 9/11 happened to America, not to one particular person or group of people.

That is because leftists are at their heart primitive tribalists. They love to draw lines and divide people based on skin color, language, beliefs, etc. It is never just "us" it is always "us" vs "them" no matter what the issue.
