You mean she insulted MUSLIMS. O-H .... M - Y .....G.
Are you KIDDING me? She insulted the religion that spawned the world trade center bombers? This is horrible!
If you are a conservative you are already under attack and have been for years. Your intelligence, your values, your integrity, your character all have been trashed in the public media on a national scale. If you ever intend to "get ruthless" there's no reason to delay any further.
You shouldn't care what dems & MSM think. But you certainly should care what voters out on Main Street USA think if you want people to be drawn to the conservative message & pull the lever for conservative candidates. That's why everybody (outside of FR) is so honkin' mad at Ann!
The reality is that most people who aren't freepers hear this kind of garbage and think: "Gee, the dems & media are right. Conservatives are just a hate-filled mob of petty, vacuous goons who don't have a legitimate issue to stand on so they have to resort to gratuitously shrill insults. I don't even want to hear what they have to say let alone ever risk embarassment by voting for their candidates & actually becoming one.
Well, so much for the "sunny optimism" of Ronald Reagan that made everyone proud to be conservative....
At least Ann didn't call him a Macaca. That would be grounds for reparations.
What is mean?
I think gcruse was being sarcastic.
If you remember, there were a number of dems who made deragatory remarks about Southern NASCAR, redneck, dumb, toothless hicks. I think gcruse was playing off those remarks.
But I could be wrong.
What is the difference between American wars prior to 1946 and wars afterwards? Back then, our parents demonized the enemy, and beat him. Now we have little love fests between Senators Hatch and Kennedy--and the country careens further and further into the pit.
Now obviously gays don't like that word. Clearly. But I don't like what they do. And everyone who still claims it is about what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom has been exposed as a liar. It is about forcing the rest of us to "respect" them and hand over to them tax dollars as a reward for their disgusting sexual practices.
You can't force me to respect them. The law should demand than no violence be committed against them. Beyond that, everyone should be entitled to their opinion. Regardless....IT WAS A JOKE! The joke was based equally on the charge that Edwards is a girly-man and the latest news scandal out of hollywood that Coulter has frequently commented on, that is the trouble that actor from Grey's Anatomy got in over using the word faggot. So she combined current events with a joke on Edwards. When did everyone get so sensitive? Ann was invited. Is no one familiar with her humor style?
Was she DRUNK? Lost her mind? Trying to sabotage the GOP? I don't get it.
Boy, remember when words used to mean things?
I wonder if Coulter would feel comfortable also joking about John (son of Phyllis) Schlafly the "faggot"?
Interestingly, Phyllis appears to have avoided mentioning gays at all in this year's speech, even though an antigay agenda is a big part of the conservative platform.
If the MSM fired all the libs that said despicable things about Republicans -- without even the context of humor Ann used -- there would be nothing but silent, dead air and blank pages from 90% of the so-called media sources out there.
Just today Bill Maher was lamenting the fact that the Taliban's assasination attempt of the American Vice President had failed. And he wasn't joking.
...you took my post out of context....I was refering to how people talk to each other on FR......
Lighten up. Outside of us junkies, no one else even knows CPAC from CSPAN. Nobody knows and nobody cares because it's the weekend and they're all watching NASCAR and speculating on the NFL draft.
Oh...and the "no violence against them" should fall into the same category as everyone else. No one gets to commit violence against anyone. It should not single them out for special protection.
That is quite a potty mouth you've got there, lol. Do your parents approve of it?
Exactly. I was disagreeing with farmer because he said Cheney should shun his daughter. I said no. We were going back and forth over that. You inserted yourself into the disagreement and told me to step away from the keyboard. I guess you just jumped into the fray, took a side without knowing the facts.
BINGO....the candidates fell into the Dem and MSM trap...
They aren't their brother's keeper...none of us are.
