Has she no shame? [Conason on Coulter--Some Men Just Can't Handle Blondes]

Coulter fails to mention that McCarthy defended Nazi SS Officers who were convicted of slaughtering 88 American POWs.

This is the one I'm most interested in.

[Spiff]

I'm reading Coulter's Treason right now. Conason is just associating himself with the traitorous soviet spies and their enablers by writing this screed against Coulter. That's OK, we'll just put him on the list of other traitors and he'll meet justice someday.

[CyberAnt]

Don't waste your time - it's just the usual - which proves of course that Ann is right on the money!!

two points

"at least five factual claims that are indisputably false" MY goodness in a book of this size five errors is like finding a spelling mistake on the front page of the Times. Jayson Blair and numerous other famous librals created five errors on asingle page. Jpe's favorite president had five errors in a single speech to the grand jury..."that depends on what the meaning of is is."

Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is "Jackie Kennedy's poodle." The late religious scholar Reinhold Niebuhr was "a big, sonorous bore." Labor leader Walter Reuther was a "sanctimonious fraud." McCarthy? "A poet," she tells us. Good golly miss molly juwt reading these jokers to find out what frauds they are hurts your head. I bet Conason can't find ten people on the streets of NY that have read these writers let alone understand their crap.

Conason makes the usual liberal arguments by attacking the person not their facts...unless they are distorting them.

[KCmark]

I laugh at the dichotomy of a lot of the arguments concerning Ann and Hillary's books. They are interchangeable with those at DU.

MEOW!

[Twinkie]

The book, "Slander", was brilliant and they are mad.

"When things are on the line, tough choices have to be made"

This statement is true - however, your "tough choices" speak to relevance - more like people who make one "tough choice" because it suits their motive (like the dems in congress did in giving Bush authority to execute the war on terror), and then the dems made another choice by saying they really didn't agree with it.

Sooooo ... which was it! Did they make the right choice for the right reason - or did they make the choice for the reason which would gain them the most at the moment.

To me ... there is no tough choice - there is only RIGHT OR WRONG. Liberals live in the grey inbetween those two. They only make "tough choices" based on what is best for them - and never for the truth or what's best for the rest of the country.

More likely, you'll be infantile and angry about it

You don't know a thing about me nor have you read any of my previous posts...of which there are many. You're just describing yourself.

[liberallarry]

They are aiding and abbetting our enemies

Are they? Were the isolationists of the '30s aiding Hitler? I don't find these issues to be as clearcut as you do.

[Darksheare]

Actually, I do.
And you're going to great lengths to prove it.
You said:
"As for my wit - or lack of - :)....if you can do better you'll have my sincere admiration regardless of what I think of your politics."

And I said that you won't show any admiration if anyone showed you up, and several have, you'd act just the way you are.

[Humidston]

Does McCarthy have his hand on an ashtray?? If so, this is reason enough to hate him and revile him throughout history!

"Coulterism"

I was reading through the article and thinking to myself, I'm guessing the liberals will now invent "Coulterism", when I get to the last word of the article and the author beat me to it. Perhaps they are a bit too predictable? I guess this is the opening of "Coulterism", will it replace "McCarthyism" in liberalspeak?

Funny how the liberals are demonstrating exactly what Ann claims the liberals did to McCarthy.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? How you could twist what I said to support Connason - PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT LIBERALS LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE TO TRY TO MISINFORM!! Thanks! You just proved Ann was right again!!!!!

[Darksheare]

They can't help themselves.
It's like obsessive/compulsive disorder.
They know that they are wrong, they know they are sick, and yet they just cannot stop themselves.
And they claim to be tolerant, enlightened, and smarter than the average seaslug.

Which proves that they aren't, considering their behavior.
As proven by the article as you mentioned.

[Puzzler]

Ann has drawn a new battle line. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see who stands on her side of the line. I noticed Andrew Sullivan didn't have the b*lls.

[jocon307]

"...the managing editor of Commentary remarked in his scathing review of "Slander"

Well, I suppose this nameless person could have written a review of "Slander", but I don't think it was published in 'Commentary' because I just searched for it, and no dice.

Any clues, anyone?

Obligatory Salon Stock Deathwatch:

At a nickel a share, it's still overvalued.

[Darksheare]

Looks like it was on it's deathbed in October or so, and they fudgefactored it back into semi-usefulness.

Right. I twisted your words. Care to show how? That's a more comfortable answer than admitting you didn't actually read the critic's complaint, isn't it?
