Let's play one of our favorite games: WIACHSI, which of course stands for "What If a Conservative Had Said It?"
Ready? OK, let's play. What would happen if a conservative attacked a female liberal icon by calling her promiscuous? How many outraged Dem elected officials, NOW leaders, Naomi Wolfs . . . and Air America hosts would be popping up all over the MSM to proclaim their outrage?
And yet, on today's edition of Tucker Carlson, Air America host and class-action trial lawyer [nice two-fer!] Mike Papantonio leveled the loose woman charge at none other than Ann Coulter.
The subject was a new book, "I Hate Ann Coulter", written by four authors who have chosen to remain anonymous out of their supposed fear of "gun-toting abortion-clinic bombing, self-proclaimed wing nuts who follow Coulter."
Asked to comment on the authors preference for anonymity, Papantonio, instead uttered this slanderous non sequitur:
"To really understand Ann Coulter you have to focus on the fact that this is a woman who has never had a relationship with another person that has lasted longer than the gestation period of a fruit fly."
Carlson cut him off: "I will not have that. Going into people's personal lives is out of bounds. We're not going to talk about people's personal lives unless they're doing it in public."
Papantonio then claimed that Coulter "has invited this discussion," but Carlson made it clear he would brook no further discussion of Ann's private life, and that put an end to matters. Let's remember this one the next time an MSMer accuses conservatives of being hate-filled, sex-obsessed, puritanical or misogynistic.
Poor baby.
"gun-toting abortion-clinic bombing, self-proclaimed wing nuts who follow Coulter."
OK, I'll give you gun toting, but the rest is crap!
Still, I'd love a chance to defend Ann's honor.
Don't forget the diet coke!

I figure Papantonio is one of those guys who are so stupid they believe the marxist propanganda of the law school professors.
When was the last time ANYONE has? How many times has this EVER happened? Twice?
Why would we bomb abortion clinics. Then we wouldn't have any place to protest and REALLY piss-off the leftists! I love it when they demand that the courts take away OUR rights of freedom of speech and expression (we all know that "freedom of speech" only applies to strippers and homsexual artists)

Maybe what I heard was she is "trying to quit."
Regardless, I would think the left would make a bigger deal out of that then she dates men.
She could take me out, but my wife would kill me ;)
Ann no doubt will defend herself tonight as she will be on with Sean this evening. Perhaps the book by the cowards will be mentioned! :)
LOL - Ding Ding Ding - We have a winner!!!!!!!
I've noticed lots of "conservatives" on FR talking about the same subject. One person likened her neck to that of ET.
excellent
She ought to drown that sucker! That's an UGLY baby!
Thanks...I think.
" Now THERE is a role model to emulate. " Ann may be smart and witty but, if I were blessed with daughters, she wouldn't be high on my list as a role model for my girls. Now, Laura Bush and Condi Rice know how to be dignified and graceful, in addition to smart.
And CIA leakers!
.......... must admit it's a catchy work with words.
I don't think she ever got past this stage:
I'm going to pen a heavy metal concept album based on the life and crimes of Mohammed ... anonymously, of course!
He looks like the old thin-lipped granny of my neighbor........... or he just looks like a beady eyed anteater. Take your pick.
