It is a common practice of the left to stage an incident and then demand enormous legal changes to respond to their hoax.
Griswold v. Connecticut was a scam orchestrated by Yale law professors to challenge the state's anti-contraception law. The case was a fraud: The law had never been enforced and never would have been enforced, until the professors held a press conference announcing they were breaking the law.
But we still got the new constitutional "privacy right" which, less than 10 years later, transmogrified into a constitutional right to kill an unborn baby.
The premise of that case, Roe v. Wade, was also a hoax. Norma McCorvey lied about being raped to get an abortion in Texas, but was denied because there was no police report. There was also no rape: She had gotten pregnant for the third time by her mid-20s as a result of a casual sexual encounter.
After Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman -- the "white Hispanic," since upgraded to full "white" by The New York Times -- liberals howled about Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. The case had absolutely nothing to do with that law: Zimmerman wasn't standing his ground; he was lying on the ground having his head bashed in. The jury accepted Zimmerman's claim of self-defense and acquitted him.
The law of self-defense has been around since William of Orange ascended to the British throne in 1688. But liberals are still harping about the Trayvon Martin shooting to demand the repeal of Stand Your Ground laws.
Jamie Leigh Jones made fantastical claims about being fed Rohypnol, gang-raped and then held at gunpoint while working for KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton, in Iraq in 2005. Without considering the likelihood of a military contractor doing this to an American citizen, knowing she'd get back to the U.S. someday and be able to tell her story, our adversary media and well-paid Democratic senators believed every word out of Jones' mouth.
As always happens when members of a disfavored racial and gender group -- i.e., white males -- are accused of heinous acts, liberals heard Jones's claims and concluded: Well, the one thing we know is: There was a gang-rape. All that's left to do now is to investigate the military/fraternity/lacrosse rape culture.
Thus, for example, Sen. Patrick Leahy began a hearing on Jones' insane accusations with this statement of facts: "Jamie Leigh Jones [is] a young woman from Texas who took a job at Halliburton in Iraq in 2005 when she was 20 years old. In her first week on the job, she was drugged and then she was gang-raped by co-workers. When she reported this -- remember 20 years old -- she reported this assault, her employers moved her to a locked trailer, where she was kept by armed guards and freed only when the State Department intervened."
Sen. Al Franken raved about "the culture of impunity" among defense contractors, saying, "Jamie Leigh Jones was gang-raped by KBR employees." Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse helpfully added, "But as best I can tell, there is no legitimate intelligence function that involves rape."
And then, after all the grandstanding, it turned out Jones had made the whole thing up. DNA evidence proved she'd had sex with only one man, and he said it was consensual. The female doctor who examined Jones the day after the alleged attack found no traces of Rohypnol in her system. Both the female doctor, as well as Jones' own plastic surgeon back in Houston, contradicted Jones' claim that her breast implants had been ruptured. It also turned out that none of KBR's employees carry guns, much less machine guns. By the age of 20, even before Jones had left for Iraq, she was 0-for-2 on rape allegations, having already falsely accused two other men of raping her.
No grand jury would indict the poor, falsely accused KBR employee who foolishly had sex with Jones, so she filed a civil suit against that one man. The jury ruled for him, and the court ordered Jones to pay $145,000 in legal costs. Jamie Leigh Jones' place in the Crystal Magnum, Tawana Brawley Hall of Fame was thus secured.
But we still got Sen. Al Franken's pro-trial lawyer amendment to a Defense Department bill, touted as the "Anti-Rape Amendment," prohibiting military contractors from including mandatory arbitration clauses in their employment contracts. Any Republican brave enough to oppose this sop to trial lawyers was denounced as "pro-rape" in mass-phone calls to their offices and by liberal prophet Jon Stewart, who railed on his show "How is ANYONE against this?"
Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown is today being used as grounds to demand all sorts of new rules for cops. Most people had a pretty good sense of the case after seeing surveillance camera shots of Brown assaulting the manager of a liquor store he was robbing about 10 minutes before his encounter with Officer Wilson. By the time the grand jury documents were released, there was no serious doubt that the shooting was justified.
But again, as a result of a hoax racial incident, Democrats are demanding race quotas for arrests. To hell with due process. If we can stop just one thing that never happened from ever happening again, it will have been worth it.
The only new rule we really need is one to stop these infernal liberal hoaxes.

I’ve noticed that bitter streak as well in the liberals I know. Interesting!
Her Adams apple? Seriously? Of all things, THAT is what you find to criticize????
Maybe you should focus on more important things, like the way she plucks her eyebrows or the color of her nail polish.
Sheesh!
Ann is a FRiend, which is why we should voluntarily send her the traffic.
Like Rush (although not nearly as effective IMHO), Ann has a talent for keeping liberals on blood pressure medication. I tend to like anyone with that skill set. We all know why they are in the business and we need to recognize it for what it is. In Ann’s case, I prefer to just focus on what she writes, I don’t need to point out the occasional hypocrisy, She’s never asked me to vote for her so I just don’t care, I simply like the read when a good one comes around.
If that’s your preference, by all means excerpt and link.
My preference is to post articles in there entirety, including a link to the source. Using the link is entirely voluntary.
That way a reader can read the entire article without being forced to click on a link to continue. If the reader enjoyed the article, the source link is there if the reader has further interest.
Either preference is a compliment to the writer and can drive traffic.
We’re of a similar mindset on this. I enjoy her writing. That’s where she shines.
The WarRoom with Quinn and Rose!
I sure miss them in the morning!
B^)
YOU SURE AS HECK DON’T LOOK LIKE MY MOM. Stop trying to sound like a woman.
Why are you shouting at him? He’s agreeing with you and paying you a compliment.
And you are right, it’s a good read, who cares who Coulter dates.
Cheers Navy! B^)
I used to get frustrated trying to listen as half the time all the internet would do is buffer—until the commercials, when it would magically run great! When Quinn made the day’s show downloadable, it was sweet, as the webmaster [Dave] cut out the commercials to save space. Still took 45 min to download a 16mb file with a 33.6 dialup, now it takes just a few seconds. Dave told me he about fell out of his chair when he saw someone click in and download 3 shows in about three seconds via a T1 line, big stuff—back then! Har!
“IF THE SHOE DOESN’T FIT, MAKE EVERYONE WEAR IT”....
How true, how true!
I was fortunate to never have to go through all that. You were a dedicated hard core fan!
I live about 30 miles SW of Pittsburgh so had no problem picking up a strong live broadcast signal from the Flagship station WPGB FM 104.7
It was morning drivetime at it’s finest! B^)
sorry you don’t recognize fatherly logical non emtional advice when you see it - weak father figure? Did it make you light in the loafers?
Anne Coulter has become nothing more that a psychopomp to the nation exactly like those from whom she gains her notoriety like Obama. She has proven to be a parasite
Of popular conservative literature who when push comes to shove, cannot differentiate between the solid core of our nation represented by Cruz and Palin. In fact Coulter does the most to shore up the elitist progressive RINO Republican cadre that in fact is leading itself to vile destruction, taking the Republic with it.
No Coulter is simply a wannabe conservative who is overly impressed by money and influence, it does not matter who wields it, even Muslims can get her into the sack using that bait.
No , Anne Coulter has become Anne Bolter. The only thing that would changed my mind is if she publicly endorsed Cruz for president and donated a million of here literary bucks to SARAH PAC. Until then, don’t call me about Alhu-Anne Whackbar Coulter. Its really just all about her and her literary siphon game without rallying anyone except her self.
and she apparently lives in your head rent free.
I don’t disagree necessarily with anything in your assessment, but I”m not sour puss enough to let that cloud my judgment on this particular very fine piece.
enjoy your misery and unrequited obsession......
Hey Candor7, if you’re gonna tear her down, at least spell her name right. It’s Ann, there’s no e.
What’s got you so cranked up? What did she do to you? Stand you up for a date? Ignore you at a party? Eat your pet goldfish?
What ever it was, get over it. This is not healthy. She’s just a writer.
good one...but I can answer your question of what Ann ever did to Candor7 - IGNORED HIM and has no idea who he is......as he remains obsessed with her. :)
Too bad she lost you, because she is 100% on target here.
