When did I or anyone else on this thread call for censorship?

Okay, I'll give you that, except the part about Ann hitting "nothing but air." She obviously struck the nerves of some.

When you consider all that's bad about Edwards, Coulter was shooting at a barn door and missed by several feet. But there are freepers treating her like Annie Oakley.

I'll get bent over one of our own calling Edwards names when the other side gets bent over their former candidate claiming a sitting president "betrayed" us.

Till then, so far as I'm concerned, pissing and whining about Ann calling names is the equivalent of worrying about the "civil rights" of gitmo detainees.

I have not seen a single argument by the Coulter supporters on this thread that would not rule out her calling Obama the N-word or saying he can't be president because of his big ears. Would it be OK with you if she said either of those things?

Ever hear of DU or Daily KOSS or Moveon.org?

Yes. Do you think they vote for the candidates they do because they consider them to be mean and nasty? Anyway, citing DU as a source is not exactly a good way to argue about what normal people are like. I meant normal people.

Re-phrasing again?

Yes, the meaner and nastier the more they like them.
What normal people are like?
When the abnormal people from these groups pull the voting lever or push the voting button it counts the same as any person who defines themselves as normal.

I suggest you follow my advice from the previous post.

It's really condescending to gays to assume what Ann said would cause them to not vote for Republicans.

You think Gays are more offended by Ann or the Left outing conservative gays? You think they are more offended by Ann or what the Left did to Mark Foley? Please, don't assume gay people are that simple minded. It would be a big mistake.

How do you prove a negative. Why shouldn't we consider you disingenuous for attempting to get you opposition to do so?

Did somebody on this thread earlier accuse me of stereotyping?

No just patiently trying to explain what should be painfully obvious.

You have good luck courting the abnormal and hate-filled voters. I'll concentrate on the normal ones. Thanks.

Grow up. How far will you go to defend insulting gays? You are now taking up for the sanity of DUmmies?

"The problem is that there are a group of people - albeit a minority - who are very willing to call in the Inquisition against any perceived heresy."

I'm confused.

I thought you were all for burning Ann Coulter at the stake.

"Mean and nasty people don't win elections."

You are so right.

And we all just dreamed what happened on November 7, 2006.

Yes, gay people love being slurred. I suppose we should have a "C'mon all you wetbacks" campaign to bring in the Hispanic vote.

Did anyone ever tell you that you attract more flies with honey than with vinegar?

It's just simple. If you go into a bar and go up to some faggot and say, "Move your ass, faggot", you're going to start a fight.

Homosexuals aren't as "tolerated" as most liberals seem to think they are. Being referred to as a homosexual is bad for anyone. That's why the left is trying to censor any word that offends them. It protects their life style from discussion.

I remember a poll, I probably heard it on FOX, that said the voters saw the Breck girl as too feminine after the 2004 election. Kerry was too lifeless. This poll was probably the base behind Anns joke. Unfortunately, many people probably missed that poll. I only heard it once myself.

(Political correctness was designed to silence any opposition to the liberal agenda. Remember that.)

Would you rather have, say a few hundred homosexual voters in Florida pull the Bush lever or have Gore as President?

This is off topic, but, I wish Bush lost. Then they would not have been able to blame 911 on Republicans and concoct all these crazy Bush conspiracy theories. We would have then easily thrown Gore in 04 out and put a true-blue conservative in the White House who had a mandate to clean house and take the war to the enemy....

Dave, you seem full of hate?
Name calling, stereotyping, stretching logic?
What's up with that?

"Great...so will you be the first person on this thread to admit that it would be OK for Ann Coulter to refer to Barack Obama as an "N-word"?"

I love this game. Okay, I'll play too.

Do you think anybody who makes a Polish joke should be drummed out of civilized society?

How about a blond joke?

How about "silky pony" joke?

You will cleverly retort that if I can't see the difference between "blond" and "faggot," then I am hopeless.

Well, if you can't see the difference between "faggot" and the "N-word," you are hopeless.
