Good question ...


==== In response, some audience members said that because they do not support the war doesn't mean they support Hussein.

This is probably sufficient for Ann to refer to the students as Saddam lovers.

Very similar to the way I was banned from this Forum as a "Saddam Apologist" for making what I still believe are cogent criticisms of those who play fast and loose with the Geneva Convention. As I've argued since the Battle of Afghanistan, such actions can only end up imperiling our own men. As an Army brat (whose eyes welled with tears yesterday listening to a Marine give an address on battles of the Frozen Chosin), that is absolutely unacceptable to me.


Anyway ... I chalk it up to Ann's being a chick and therefore jumping to some conclusions on an emotional basis that are not warranted objectively.

Probably explains her psychotic addiction to the abusive as well ... the boneheaded heckling "perking her up" in that it confirms those she seeks out as audiences are too stupid and mentally deficient to have any substantive criticisms of the info-tainment pot shots and hyperbole in which Ann herself excels.

Whipping kids up such that they walk out probably not the most effective tactic for sparking consciences, informing minds or winning hearts on principle .. but, hey, that's not what Ann's about.

If she feels like winning folks over (and over and over) she can always show up at CPAC in some animal print number and flash her boyish gams instead.

Sad but probably true.

LOL, no, Ann is certainly no mealy-mouthed "moderate".

Shock and awe is most inviting, but at least I concur that "I go to these college campuses and I'm witnessing a breakdown in cognitive thought." The problem is not exactly a nice bell curve phenomenon.
