Ann Coulter's vitriolic views may give conservatism a bad name. Thoughts?

[Servant of the 9]

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.

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

Troll alert. Probably posted by Conason's gay lover/fetch-it boy.

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.

[Rummyfan]

"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 Cleland’s 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!

[Cold Heat]

Come on!

He blew himself up!

[BushisTheMan]

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.

[Rummyfan]

Me, I'm just waiting for Ann's latest column, which will be posted on World Net Daily in about ninety minutes!

[Moby Grape]

Let's see, democrats lie about republicans starving children, throwing grandmothers out of nursing homes, poisoning the air, label them as Nazis, and Joe "Clinton-butt-boy" Conason is worried about little ole Ann....Since when would Joe REALLY care if someone was HURTING our side?

He KNOWS she is effective and thus his "advise" to the GOP....If only 90% of the GOP membership had the backbone of Ann Coulter.

[Williams]

Two points: Ann Coulter had the Cahones to take on a sacred cow in Max Cleland because Cleland was out there viciously attacking George Bush. Bravo for having the guts to do it. Second: Conason takes the "right" approach by striking back with (feigned) outrage.

The REPUBLICANS should learn from both. Politics ain't bean bag. It's worth fighting over. My take on Max Cleland is "if you don't want none, don't bring none." He was tough enough in Vietnam, he's tough enough to savage the Commander in Chief in time of war, so he should be tough enough to take Ann Coulter's response. The democrats love to ravage you to pieces and then cry about how "mean" you are to them.

[Jim_Curtis]

It looks like the left has given up on the "Coulter lies" fight and has settled for the "Coulter is mean because she exposes the truth" angle.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Maybe I'm going senile, but hasn't this screen name been in use before?

[SaveTheChief]

Looks like you picked the wrong day of the week to start sniffing glue.

[TheGeezer]

Cleland was a worthless dip who voted against defendiung the nation. He is of Kerry's ilk, who were heroes, yes, but whose patriotism is, nevertheless, of very low quality.

I do not trust Cleland, and I trust Conason even less. I'll take Coulter's interpretation of events, which I've read elsewhere as well, as the truth.

[backhoe]

Ann Coulter's vitriolic views may give conservatism a bad name.

Whoops! You're gone- but I'll answer you anyway.

We on the Right have been routinely, reflexively slandered, slurred, and villified for so long that the statement is meaningless to me. I'm tired of your childish nonsense.

I like Ann well enough, though she doesn't necessarily speak for me- her standing up to the Loony Left is always welcome, however.

Far as Joe goes? He's among this August Company:

-Liars-- and Sleaze, Incorporated... ( my files on the clintons and friends )--

[eureka!]

An article by Joey "Sink" Conason. LOL. Such an angry man. I almost feel sorry for him as his peers laugh at him behind his back....

[js1138]

If Joe Conason
opens his mouth without saying a word, is it still a lie?

[NYCVirago]

Funny how Joe Conason had no problem smearing a war hero (George H.W. Bush) in 1992.
