Media critic Jon Friedman calls Ann Coulter "the Paris Hilton of political coverage" because "Hilton will do anything to … burnish her hard-earned rep as America's most outrageous party girl. Likewise, Coulter will do anything to enhance her dubious image as America's most outrageous pundit."
Fair enough. But consider the feeding frenzy following Coulter’s joke with the silence following this use of "faggot" on the BlackNewsWeekly Web site by a "satirist" named Sinclere Lee:
I would like to give some penitentiary advice to former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby … like I gave faggot Karl Rove (emphasis, The Stiletto’s).
This is followed by a paragraph that not only uses the "N" word, but includes several sophomoric references to homosexual rape (emphasis, The Stiletto’s):
First, don’t take candy, cigarettes, or candy from a big Black nigger named Killer. Don’t fool with that Killer! Secondly, don’t get the cell with a known booty bandit. Thirdly, if you are in the shower with a bunch of lifers, and someone yells out "hay dog bend over and pick-up my soap… don’t do that! Finally, drop the nick name ‘Scooter’ when you get to the joint. Them boys behind bars might get the wrong idea about that and think you want them to scoot up in your backside,,, so, drop the name Scooter and you can serve you time in peace.
By their silence, The Stiletto can only conclude that GLAAD, Howard Dean and others who swiftly and loudly condemned Coulter approve of using the word "faggot" when the target is a Republican – or when the person using it isn’t a white woman with blue eyes and long blonde hair.
Taking a page from Dean’s playbook, The Stiletto calls upon all declared and potential Dem candidates to denounce BlackNewsWeekly and Lee for using an anti-gay epithet to smear Rove, as well as for all the Libby bufu references.
What? A liberal double-standard? Noooo. Can't be.
I don't see what the big deal is. It's just a word. And it has other meanings, besides. And in other countries it means something totally different. If this is what we've come to call enlightened disputations, heaven help us...........
And your User ID happens to be "theothercheek"
LOL!
And it's only an insult if it's aimed at a Democrat.
The Sarah Silverman character also used the term "fag" during the same episode where she has sex with "god". Of course she immediately told her two gay friends who were sitting at the table with her that she didn't mean "that" kind of fag...
And of course homosexual comics can use any of a variety of nicknames for their kind with total impunity.
As in "kiss my other cheek"
Sorry Ann, the First Amendment only applies to those kind, sensitive, TOLERANT, Leftists.
If you want that kind of Republican party, you can have it pal. I guess you sling your own poop back at the monkeys at the zoo, too.
If you want to wallow in the mud with the liberals, you go right ahead, you true conservative.
If you want to incorporate liberals childish style of discourse, you go right ahead, you true conservative.
If you want a Jerry Springer style of politics, you can have it you true conservative.
If you like to point out the shortcomings of liberals then adopt these tactics as your own, you go ahead, you true conservative.
If common decency and respect for yourself and the party is viewed as bad by the party, you can have it pal.
"I say screw a bunch of effiminate, milque toast snobs!"
If refraining from making an ass out of myself just to get in a non-sequitor slur at a Democrat makes me a milquetoast snob, that is a badge I will wear with honor.
Now, where is the Republican and conservative leadership on this. I'm sure they are 100% behind Ann on this. Oh, wait....they aren't. Guess that makes you the fringe.
"Sorry Ann, the First Amendment only applies to those kind,"
God help you, you don't have a clue.
Christine Stansell, in The New Republic, wrote this about Tripp's book...
"[G]ay? Abraham Lincoln? How would you ever know? And why would you ever care? Surely there is no president whose sexuality we less want to think about....Yet the virtue of this little book is to get you wondering....In his very naïveté...Tripp compiles a dossier of ambiguities — not truths, but ambiguities — worth considering."
If a New Republic writer tells us it's a virtue for CA Tripp to make folks wonder about Lincoln's sexuality, I'd guess we can assume it's a virtue for Coulter to makes folks wonder about Edward's sexuality.
"Sorry Ann, the First Amendment only applies to those kind,"
"God help you, you don't have a clue."
I believe that was sarcasm, you took for 'Quicks' belief system.
Under the First Amendment, Ann Coulter should be free to say and write whatever she wants. However, when appearing at official conservative or Republican functions she should know that she is not representing herself but is acting as a spokesperson for that organization. She tends to get her roles mixed up - or is unable to self-censor when the occasion calls for it.
And it's all Ann Coulter's fault.
She called Joseph McCarthy an American "HERO"..
Called the liberal traitors a "CHURCH"...
The 9/11 witchs.... "GOLDDIGGERS"...
She uses words like "silver bullets"..to Vampires..
The girl is a genius.. The leanest meanest RINO exposer of all time..
She exposes so-called conservatives/republicans as the cowardly lions.. or strawmen.., or automatons.. they really are. AND THEY DESPISE HER FOR IT..
Actually, I thought the term 'faggot' was too mild. "Fudgepacker" is better.
You keep bringing marshmallows to a knife-fight, Skippy.
Let us know how that works out.
