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.
Tucker Carlson/NewsBusters Ann-Coulter ping to Today show list.
Have at it!
Who'd have thought that Tucker Carlson would play the role of Sir Walter Raleigh?
I've never bombed an Abortion Clinic.
The Left is fascinated by her adam's apple.
But she has had at least 3 best sellers!
me either. (?)
He would know. Cause when it comes to "Fruits" and "Flies" liberals are freaking geniuses.
OMG,he's the missling link between neanderthals and homosapiens!
Tucker has always been one of the good guys....
Uh oh....Anne is going to nuke'em.
And how does this rat faced little pervert know anything about Coulter's personal life? Coulter happens to have a large group of loyal, long time friends. So where this loser gets off claiming she had "no relationships" that have lasted long, I have no idea. I assume if he's referring to romantic relationships, then being "promiscuous" (as he wants to claim is indicated by someone not being in romantic relationships which is stupid in itself) should endear Coulter to him. Wasn't being promiscuous one of Bill Clinton's many charming points to liberal dunces like this?
Slanderous? The article doesn't mention any counterexamples, and a true statement is by definition not slanderous.
Because she so easily turns the Left into applesauce.
She's saving herself for me.
Ping.
He was just bragging that he gets more d$ck than Coulter.
