Sorry Toonces, but Ann's statements about Cleland were not "truth", hard or soft. He was injured four days after the actions for which he was awarded the Silver Star in Khe Sanh. You remember Khe Sanh? If that wasn't the "battlefield" in VietNam, then there was no battlefield. It is true that he was wounded by a grenade dropped by another while disembarking from a chopper. But he was in a combat zone and he was disembarking at an LZ that had recently been taken in hostile action. Ann's comments to the contrary demostrate either a lack of research or an outright lie, and she does owe the man an apology.

and tried to give Pat Robertson the flu by licking the doorknob at Robertson's campaign headquarters back in 2000. Wrong guy, both times. The culprit was 'Savage', noted gay advice columnist from Salon of course. The victim was Gary Bauer.

RAT TROLLS are also illiterateSo true....and there have been so many lately. Honestly, it's almost fun to try to decipher some of their rants (if one can read it before it gets ZOTTED). There was one a few weeks ago that was ONE LONG RUN-ON SENTENCE....forever....with so many words spelled incorrectly. I needed a drink after that one.

Um...what do you think of Joe Conason then?
Personally, if I could have only one conservative arguing my case on all the issues important to me, it would be Ann Coulter.

Joe Connason has no room to talk about the 'smear tactics' of anyone.
He is one of the most dishonest reporters to have ever lived.

Ah, Conason.
Having been outed, but good as little more than a hypocritical party hack by none other than Mickey Kaus of kausfiles, Jumpin' Joe decides to deflect Kaus' expose of his Bush-hating hypocrisy by picking on Ann.
Coulter hates everybody. Everyone knows she's a Republican hack. But she'd be the first to admit it. Conason, otoh, blames his editors at SPY magazine for his enthusiasm for going after Bush Sr. in 1990 on an infidelity smear. Now, after having been caught going postal on Matt Drudge over the Kerry affair, he's outed.
So he beats up on Ann Coulter.
What a cheap, light in the loafers putz.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

I read Coulter's column. I read conason's column. I don't see anything in Coulter's column that conason disproves. conason just calls Coulter names but doesn't say where she erred. I see this over and over. clymers of all sorts say that Coulter is over the top, or some such for what she writes, but hardly ever prove her wrong. Name calling doesn't cut it. Yes, Coulter writes with hyperbole, but stays for the most part, within the boundries of the truth. Just as I wish conason would do when the subject is, say, praising a certain ex felon president.
If you ask me, until conason starts to write about Molly Ivins, or others of that ilk with the same passion, then his screed deserves to be used to it's best advantage...in the bottom of the birdcage.

Yeah -- this guy really has his head on straight... < /sarcasm >
""Yes, the firm once headed by Vice President Dick Cheney -- fabled beneficiary of no-bid multibillion-dollar military contracts and high-priced provider of Kuwaiti oil -- is determined to drill on Mars and the moon. Surely this scheme has nothing to do with the Bush space initiative. But somehow, no matter what worthy motivations lie behind the president's policies, he and Cheney always appear to be shilling for their corporate clientele. . . .
Dreams about drilling on Mars date back several years at least. In 1998, a handful of top firms, including Halliburton, Shell and Schlumberger, showed up for a NASA "workshop" at Los Alamos, N.M., to discuss the prospects. Research seems to have intensified since 2001, with Halliburton and other firms engaged in proprietary research on such advanced technologies as laser-powered drills. Joe Conason

That is all correct. What I was referring to with the "cashed in" comment is that he sold out on homeland security to please his union cronies. In my opinion, that was the thrust of her article.
Was it incorrect? I don't think so.
Was it in poor taste? Unfortunately, I might have to agree with that.

Max Cleland lost his Senate seat in Georgia because he voted in favor of big labor and against the national security of the United States. Get lost, coward.
To: paulsamuel1
"Max Cleland should stop allowing Democrats to portray him as a war hero who lost his limbs taking enemy fire on the battlefields of Vietnam," she writes, claiming that he "lost three limbs in an accident during a routine non-combat mission where he was about to drink beer with friends. He saw a grenade on the ground and picked it up. He could have done that at Fort Dix. In fact, Cleland could have dropped a grenade on his foot as a National Guardsman. ... Luckily for Clelands political career and current pomposity about Bush, he happened to do it while in Vietnam."
Did Mr Conason refute anything in this excerpt? I think not.

Lemme see:
Ann Coulter is "vitriolic" and could give Conservatism a bad name?
Bet you think Joe Conason is the voice of reason?
Bye Bye!

Max Cleland gets what he gives. He questioned the President's service so should he be questioned.
Unlike others on this Web site, I think Ann is too vitriolic. She sounds too much like the DemoRats. I think she has been hanging around Bill Mauer (spelling) too long.
