Coulter: 'I Don't Think of It As a Murder'

Even Bill O’Reilly (who has been pretty cold-blooded about the murder of Dr. George Tiller) seems a little taken aback when Ann Coulter says, “I don’t think of it as a murder ... I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t believe in imposing my morality on others.”

And: “If you don’t believe in shooting abortionists, don’t shoot an abortionist.” And: “That’s why liberals are so hysterical about this, because generally they’re on the pro-death side ... in this one case, they’re finally against someone dying, a man responsible for killing 60,000 babies.”

Let me be more clear, Coulter is an idiot.

Congressman Kennedy! What are you doing lurking about in Freerepublic? I though you were back in rehab Patrick.

[TChad]

Ann is just giving it back to the liberals in their own language.

That is way too deep for Charles Johnson.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Anyone who cannot see Ann's use of turning the argument around on the pro-abortion crowd with this line is not thinking very carefully. Her line is, in a lawyerly sense, brilliant. If abortionists are able to use that argument or a facisimile thereof about human life, then she adopts the same about it, too.

[arthurus]

Safe and legal, perhaps.

[Balding_Eagle]

Let me be more clear, Coulter is an idiot.

Her target audience are the more intellectual among us.

“Joy told Ann that if she likes Waterboarding so much, she should be waterboarded.

Ann said, if Joy likes abortion so much, she should be aborted.”

I don’t watch The View but have seen clips so I know who JB is. All I can say is way to go Ann!

BTW, what was JB’s response to Ann’s brilliant comment - if you recall?

[dfwgator]

Reminds me of Limbaugh’s “caller abortions.”

[giotto]

Or, as he puts it, “illustrating absurdity by being absurd.”

[Bahbah]

Exactly.

[Kozak]

Law comes from morality.

Not necessarily. They had lots of Law in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Iran has plenty of laws. We have a law that allows abortion. Care to rethink that?

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Actually the people at FR are pretty sharp when it comes to figuring out sarcasm. We have PatrickL, one clueless fool. Read the comments at LGF, they make Patrick look like a genius.

[Brytani]

Shotting of abortion doctors should be safe and rare I guess.

[LucyJo]

Being clear would be to explain why you think that.

[muawiyah]

It’s possible to make murder lawful ~ just reinstitute the Code Duello. Behavior will improve OVERNIGHT!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

“I don’t think of it as a murder ... I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t believe in imposing my morality on others.”

Funny how playing Madlibs gives you a whole new perspective.

Well, if you have two working brain cells it does.

[zipper]

LGF is not worth linking to or from.

“Chuck” spends half his blog space on anti-Christian, secular-humanist rants that would make Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright blush.

And his foul-mouthed minions are no better.

[TChad]

Seriously. LGF is totally missing her well made point.

And if a poster points that out clearly enough, he will be banned by Charles. LGF ain't what it used to be. I removed it from my bookmarks.

[RobbyS]

Indeed. In a movie Tiller would be the heavy who thinks he has got away with murder, only to get it in the end from someone he does not even know.

[shibumi]

Gee ..... must be one of those hit and run posters. no guts, brains or glory.

But seriously folks, if leggy, slim, blond, rich and brilliant is your definition of an idiot, well.....

Then color me .....

Nail just met a hammer big time. I can see possibilities for this thinking. Heck, nail and hammer got married.
