What a pleasure it is to have a little liberal nose-picker doing oour fact-checking (liberal style) for us.

Could you list the primary rules of FR, so that I may never violate them?

...She sneers, she smears, she indicts by falsehood and distortion...

Unbelievable! Ann Coulter's books are some of the most heavily footnoted books out there. I guess this knothead thinks all her quoted sources are liars as well. Also; funny how her new book "Treason" is tearing up the bestseller charts but my local library STILL has no copies on the "Bestsellers" rack. Thanks a lot Louisville Free Public Library!

Yawn... Another clueless liberal, offended by the truthfulness and bravery for which Ann Coulter is famous.

[liberallarry]

Well, let's see what you can do.

[don-o]

Coulter demonstrates that she is both an intentional liar and an incompetent writer.

Well. Larry, You snipped this. So get busy to back it up.

I read the screed. You bold up two paagraphs. You need to back up the one sentence above, or shut up.

[Humidston]

That was his infamous 1949 campaign on behalf of Nazi S.S. officers

I'd say he may be hinting McCarthy was a Nazi. And what could be more EVIL than a dirty filthy Nazi?

Connie, you're soooo very predictable, you little hater, you!

[Mr. Buzzcut]

In fact, she doesn't mention the Voice of America investigation at all

Wrong. Page 82.

[Bluntpoint]

Hey Joe I got good news and bad news for ya.

The good news is they found Eric Alterman's lost wallet.

The bad news is they found your picture in it.

[don-o]

Yawn... Another clueless liberal, offended by the truthfulness and bravery for which Ann Coulter is famous.

Agree. But, it is a good exercise to take the arguments down, one by one.

"Clueless liberal" = "rubes" per salon

We can do better than that.

Could you list the primary rules of FR, so that I may never violate them?

ONE of those rules is:

"Threads about Ann Coulter need to be accompanied by PICTURES..."

you know the rules....(sigh)

Did this Joe Conason read the same book I did? Ann did a marvelous job of noting her references, taken from transcripts of testimony, newspaper accounts of the time, and recently declassified documents from here and abroad. She composed a cogent tale, and buttressed her conclusions with examples that carried the argument from the general to the specific.

That Joe Conason found this explanation of the way things happened over the past half century too uncomfortable to peruse with an unbiased mind, tells us much more about Joe Conason than Ann Coulter.

Hate crimes statutes do not apply to this diatribe. Pity.

[don-o]

She knows what her audience will buy -- and that most of them aren't bright enough to notice the contradictions.

Not bright.

Well, once again, there we have it.

This screed is, unwittingly, making Ann's whole case.

[stands2reason]

Any posts which mention Anne Coulter or Anna Kournikova must have pictures.

Arthur Mcgowan should be pinged to any senseless bandwidth-waste of a vanity.

If you get pi$$ed off and decide never to post here again, please post an opus detailing your reasons for leaving--for the entertainment of the rest of us.

[RonDog]

I don't like the title of your thread...

From http://www.salon.com/books/review/2003/07/04/treason/index_np.html:

Has she no shame?
Of course not, and now we know why: In her new book "Treason," Ann Coulter reveals that her role model is Joe McCarthy. And her grasp of facts is even worse than her judgment..

There is an interesting skewering of Ann's book, about which I will reserve judgement until I read it myself.

[Gorzaloon]

The ones I could not handle very good were the red heads.

Nobody can, but they're worth it.

[Darksheare]

Well ,yes.
Of course we're all so dumb.
According to the left we're too stupid to be able to live our own lives, and we aren't enlightened.
So we're pathetic according to them.

[LasVegasMac]

obviously longing for the days when construction workers beat up antiwar demonstrators.

Big sigh...ah, the good ol' days. Life was much simpler then.
