I think Ann Coulter has become counterproductive for the conservative cause. She repeatedly allows her own inflammatory statements to become the issue, which enables liberals to avoid talking about the real issues. I think her ego has gotten too big; she seems almost self-destructive in the cavalier way she tosses out these extreme comments which garner her plenty of media attention but simultaneously allow conservatives to be branded as uncivil and inaccurate. (Yeah, yeah, I know people on the Left get away with extreme statements all the time, but we conservatives don't have that luxury. We have to play by a higher standard.)

CAIR is calling someone else Bigoted?!?!?!
This group has defended terrorism all over the world and has spewed out some pretty anti-semitic stuff in their rantings.
As for Anne Coulter... the media already DOES reject her, just like they reject all conservatives. Foxnews better not give into this terrorist intimidation.

If you are in a crowded area that might be a target and see a guy with a towel on his head who smells good --- RUN LIKE HELL!

LOL.

Of course, I'd rather they wear diesel fuel on a daily basis. A big improvement.

Well since CAIR says so I will comply to the fullest. How can anyone Q CAIRs requests? Mr. Ahmed is a noble man who we should show the utmost respect for. I am sure he happens to be the epitome of decent muslim American.

/ dripping sarcasm from a PROUD INFIDEL!

They think the things she says are "shocking" and "controversial"...

No, they think many of the things she says are boorish and ill considered, because she throws herself into a sentence and relies on bombastic rhetoric to bail her out.

"Rush just said that Ann didn't say that Muslims smell bad, and that they have twisted her words."

She did not literally say, "Muslims smell bad," but that was the clear implication of her comment. And as a matter of fact, Muslims probably smell better than the average Christian; personal hygiene is highly valued in Islam, and perfumes and incense are important parts of Muslim culture.

I agree the media whores like her and David Horrowitz do nothing for the conservative cause, but help themselves make money. But I don't think she deserves quite the lashing you directed at her.

Taboo: As in other Islamic societies, the left hand is considered unclean. Always use your right hand only when eating or when passing something to an Arab Muslim. If you happen to be left-handed, train yourself to offer your business card with your right hand.

Have you ever asked why?

Hint: Toilet paper is not available in the desert.

Gulliver, I hope my granddaughters' grow up to be just like her.........she knows no barriers when it comes to liberals and I think she says these things just to get them riled. She loves a good political (and personal) dog fight. I love that "gigolo" thing. *~*

The 120 degree heat and clothed head to toe. That is a recipe for stink and boils, which I'm sure they have many of. They don't care if they have boils, though, because nobody will see them.

how about this: the media will reject Ann when Muslims reject terrorism...

CAIR, AMC, and the like have already stated their intent to vote as a bloc for any Democrat in order to defeat GW Bush. Now why is that? Because they are not partners in the war on terror.

Also, Rep. Peter King of NY is under fire for basically saying the same thing, Muslims are not serious about fighting the war on terror.

We must stand up to these people...

The muslims get bent out of shape because Ann implied that they smell bad. But why be so concerned about such a trivial little comment when she states things that are far more serious:

By contrast, in the weeks after 9-11, the Times was rushing to assure its readers that "prominent Islamic scholars and theologians in the West say unequivocally that nothing in Islam countenances the Sept. 11 actions." (That's if you set aside Muhammad's many specific instructions to kill non-believers whenever possible.) Times columnists repeatedly extolled "the great majority of peaceful Muslims." Only a religion with millions of practitioners trying to kill Americans and Jews is axiomatically described as "peaceful" by liberals.

Well, since they didn't complain about that comment, I guess they agree with the truthfulness of her claim...

CAIR: "Sure, we as muslims like to go around killing infidels (Jews, Christians, pagans, Democrats, etc...) but you're going way TOO FAR when you say we smell bad. Even we have our limits!!!

It wasn't a President or leader. It was Samuel Johnson, the malodorous literary giant who "wrote" the first dictionary.

A woman said to him "Sir..you smell" to which he replied "No madam. You smell. I stink."

I thought it was "You, sir, are drunk," and then Winston Churchhill said "But tomorrow I shall be sober and you, Madam, will still be ugly."
