My concern is that she is falling into a Dem trait---symbolism over substance.

You mean like the Dem's '06 electioneering slogan, "Time for a change" without ever stating the nature of that change?

The dumbed-down electorate that comprises 2007 America is ripe for cute, quick sound bites that require no thought. This is what the educational establishment has foisted off on us the past few decades - sheep and automatons that are seemingly incapable of thought processes involving more than parsing a few words, let alone analyzing issues with anything resembling depth.

No, Ann's ahead of you on this curve.

Think I'm wrong?

Then where's the analyses of Duncan Hunter's words? We all know (or at least, think we know) what Ann said, but who knows what Duncan said?

People grasp this in an instant, and rightly or wrongly come to a conclusion about what was said. Impressions are formed, and then either reinforced or altered in some way when someone like Howard Dean focuses more light on it.

I'm not saying all of America is so developmentally challenged on things like this, but I am saying the electoral landscape has changed dramatically since your Ma and Pa's day.

If we'd just shut up about it, and let the left shoot themselves on the foot over this (and other things like this!) we'd be a lot better off.

I mean, how can anyone in one breath denigrate Political Correctness, and then in the next engage in behavior like this, excoriating words and personal views spoken that have a little more than elemental truth to them, and act like those on the other side if the aisle in a rush to distance ourselves from the person who spoke them?

SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WRONG!!! The problem here seems to be with so-called Conservatives altogether too eager to impress the Liberal world out there.

I don't play those games, and neither should anyone else here. Politics is, after all, a blood sport, and the cardinal rule of this sport, if you want to survive it, is, better his blood than mine.

CA....

Thanks for you good analysis. Ann Coulter is ahead of the curve in this political game. I see it as a matador getting the bull ready for the kill. A few stabs here, a little cape action to get the beast running for thin air (to get the blood pumping), and a few more stabs to get more blood flowing. By the time you go for the kill, the bull is walking right up to the sword.

It is troubling that we have a woman showing us how to do a man's work. We must not have fear. The DemonRAT is a dumb beast that needs to be put out of its misery--for the sake of this nation.
