Amen, amen! The only folks to benefit from this are the anti-American leftists. The liberal media will lap this up. To paraphrase the commies, we should have no enemies to our right. NEITHER of them should be speaking to the liberal media over this, both of them should now SHUT UP and do nothing but say how wonderful the other is. Reagan understood we all needed to focus on the real enemy and not squabble among ourselves.
I don't care to much for that blonde-hair flip she does.
She could have handled this much better and probably wishes she had, but,then again maybe she thinks she handled it just fine. ...didn't miss a days work, it seems.
Isn't that what your mommy did with Free Republic, Jonah? Maybe it runs in the family.
I agree with you on this and the column struck me also as "catty".
Aside from that: I don't see much on either side to recommend itself. This is a public cat-fight and not very pretty, or all that interesting, to watch. I consider it an aberration on both sides and will continue to read both Ann Coulter and Jonah Goldberg. They each bring something to the table --- very different somethings, but that's a good thing.
I do, however, think they have said things in this editorial that are petty and childish. Much as they seem to have a legitimate complaint against comments made by Ann, I would say that I am dissapointed by the snide little remarks made in this column.
Frankly, when I heard these two bicker like children on the radio I was disgusted. Now it appears they both insist on continuing to take pot shots in print.
Goldberg wasn't making the accusation. He was saying that her column provoked such accusations from readers.
Goldy Girl-boy did more harm to the right than he knows. He has no clue.
We'll soon find out how right she was -- the hard way.
That being said, National Review has every right to hire and fire anyone they like.
Please don't misunderstand my support for Miss Coulter; it has nothing to do with her physical appearance. To be honest, Miss Coulter is far too thin for my tastes. My support for her proposed Holy War is entirely derived from my philosophic and political beliefs. I am a Western Civilization supremacist; Islam (in the form we know it today) is Western Civilization's greatest enemy. I therefore support any call for the furtherance of Christendom and the destruction of the base, inhuman, and antichristian culture of modern Islam.
But of course that isn't going to happen. Even six thousand smouldering corpses aren't enough to rouse the West. We will pay the price for not destroying our enemies -- or, rather, our children will.
Say no more except to apologize. Your little story stinks of foolishness on your part. You did more harm to the right with this BS than you will ever admit. In fact you don't even know what you did do you?
LOLROF
Nope Ann did nothing wrong here it was NR who should apologize to Ann and their readers for handing the leftist/democrats a small victory and hope. Thats what this drival of a man did to the right.
Typical Ann Coulter. Last year she had the bright idea to run as a candidate against the lefty demo and RINO. So she approached the Libertarian Party and demanded to be the LP candidate. They asked, "Well, Ann, do you believe in any of the LP positions?" "Hell no!", said Ann, "I just want the LP to do the footwork for my little campaign." "Well Ann", said the LP, "We're disinclined to run candidates who don't support the LP, it doesn't really make much sense, now does it?"Is this the same Libertarian Party that ran Howard Stern as a Gubernatorial candidate in New York?At which point Ann launched into her trademark rants against the LP, etc etc, you know her style. Same old same old.
It made me appreciate Ann Coulter more (if that were possible), respect David Horowitz for hiring Ann for FrontPageMagazine FrontPageMag.com, and lose respect for Jonah Goldberg and National Review.
Looks like a triple to me.
Lovely, intelligent Ann Coulter's NRO-censored column can now be found here Ann's Censored Column Now Here.
Congratulations, beautiful.
Sloppy business practice? Naw, it's How It Is. I'm a writer/columnist/reviewer, and nearly everything between me and my editors is done "via email," and there've been some very heavy duty "issues" addressed along the way. Granted, most of the "issues" pertained to third parties (you would not believe some of the crap pulled by companies -- some of them very major -- when they're getting their products reviewed) -- but be that as it may, the fact remains that in the publishing world circa 2001, email is How It Is.
The vast majority of the time that telephone comms entered the picture, they did so for one reason: email was down.
The rift between those two parties may be due to any number of factors, but email ain't one of 'em IMO.
