Yes these three or four dozen Coulter bashing threads are all about "ideas."

Coulter is a public figure, who displayed her figure on the cover of her latest book.

Public figures get bashed. It comes with the territory. Ann has made it clear she doesn't mind. In fact, she welcomes it.

But I don't like Coulter bashing threads any more than I like any bashing threads. People are made in the image of G-d and deserve to be respected as such.

Their ideas don't necessarily need to be respected, though.

Najida (or however you spell it) is not a public figure. She has not posed as a cover girl anywhere I know of. She has not put herself in the public eye and done outrageous things to draw attention to the outrageousness of the left. Picking on her personally is as bad as it gets.

If you disagree with what she said, say why. Maybe you can defend yourself and maybe you did. But you picked on her for her looks, and I can't see any excuse for that.

Of course, you don't have to please me so do as you like. I just posted my opinion about what you said.

That's what we used to do on FR.

Shalom.

I didn't pick on her for her looks. I merely posted her photo.

In my more than a decade of posting on the internet I have never made fun of anyone's looks. Ever.

And I only posted Najida's photo after she smeared Coulter with the libel that she is anorexic.

Get over your tiresomely self-righteous self.

That's nice. He is still an effeminate and therefore a faggoty example of liberal trash and a political enemy. Ditto in answer to your #258. If you spent as much space attacking Edwards as in going after Annie, it would be more effective conservatism no matter how mannered or scholarly. Ann is right. Her critics are not.

I had to go back and find the post that set you off. This is Najida's post:

To: SerpentDove

You mean the nearly ANNorexic fighting machine.

Folks seem to be forgetting how bad the 2006 November elections were. We were stomped, remember?

We ain't gainin' ground, we're losin' it, and folks here just seem to keep wantin' to lose more!

She did NOT say that Ann IS an anorexic. Not in the clinical sense. As I read it, she said "nearly Annorexic" which in that usage can simply mean outrageously thin. And even you have to agree she is thin. Can we all just let it go? Conservatives eating their own is not a pretty thing and it helps no one. No wonder the Dems are in power - we beat ourselves.

Back to lurking.

It certainly looks like you did today.

And I only posted Najida's photo after she smeared Coulter with the libel that she is anorexic.

It's OK that I did it, teacher, because she did it first.

Get over your tiresomely self-righteous self.

I'll consider your suggestion. And may I politely suggest that you grow up a little.

Shalom.

A certain young lady named Brittney
Was upset she wern't gettin any
So she tried out rehab
But it wasn't too fab
Because HottieBoy knew better, didn't he?

And while you are at it, what was this BRAAD thing that JimRob asking you to stop posting on FR?

Did it have something to do with your current "SASU" thing, which you say stands for Straight Americans Speaking Up?

Isn't Brittney, aren't even homosexuals, in G_d's image?

Why are you pretending to such piety here?

"She did NOT say that Ann IS an anorexic. Not in the clinical sense. As I read it, she said "nearly Annorexic" which in that usage can simply mean outrageously thin."

Nice try, but in her subsequent posts Najida went on to confirm her "diagnosis."

Moreover, being "nearly anorexic" is a lot like being "slightly pregnant."

You either are or you aren't.

Again, the irony.

I think it's still described on my home page. You can read it. I'm proud of it. I was demonstrating the emptiness of GLAAD's arguments by applying the same ones to people they would hate. The arguments made exactly as much sense, which is to say, none.

Jim Robinson didn't like it. It's his forum so I dropped it.

Did it have something to do with your current "SASU" thing, which you say stands for Straight Americans Speaking Up?

Similar, but not the same. Straight Americans have a right and a reason to be as vocal about what we believe as homosexual Americans are. SASU was an attempt to encourage them to do so.

You'll notice that both BRAAD and SASU have to do with ideas.

Isn't Brittney, aren't even homosexuals, in G_d's image?

Yes. I don't make fun of homosexuals, although I do make fun of homosexual activists. And, for the record, I think Ann crossed the line calling Edwards a faggot.

I did not make a fool fo Brittney, she made a fool of herself. I made a limerick about it which also picked on a friend at FR who likes to claim he'd hit anything with legs. I did this on a silliness thread (in all this time you spent researching my history at FR you did check out the purpose of a silliness thread, did you not?). Brittney is a public figure who made a fool of herself in public. Remember what I said about public figures?

Why are you pretending to such piety here?

Because I didn't switch to a personal insult when I found out my argument wasn't getting anywhere.

Why are you pressing the issue so hard? Why are you doing full history research on posters on FR. I sense some deep seated issue here.

Methinks thou doest protest too much.

I thought the limerick was pretty good. So did hottieboy. Thanks for posting it again. Some of the folks on this thread might not have seen it.

Shalom.

I'm out for the night. Since you had time to research my history on FR this is apparently your life. It is not mine. If getting in the last word means you win, please post something and win. I'm done.

Shalom.

To sum up, you complain that FR used to be about "ideas" but spend most of your time posting on FR's "Sillliness" threads. (And other "serious" threads making fun of someone with the name "Redick.")

You say that you respect everyone because they are in G-d's image, but you mock whoever you feel like when it suits you.

And, in fact, you have even organized two "ping" lists to organize your mocking of homosexuals. The first one was so offensive to the owner of this site that you were forced to stop it.

And yet you are here to chide me for posting a picture about someone who was calling Coulter anorexic. (No insults. Just her photo, of which she is proud.)

And you are also here to chide Ann Coulter for making a joke that you find offensive.

No, no hypocrisy at all. None whatsoever.

(And, no, there is no explanation of what BRAAD was on your homepage. But it's easy to guess.)

You keep saying "Shalom" (although you claim to be a Christian), but you don't go.

Everyone else sees a semi-emaciated Ann Coulter but Sam Hill continues to see a big white whale.

I have a "chip on my shoulder" because I am not willing to stand back and watch a person be savaged in thread after thread for making a (very good and apt) joke?

A person who has done more for conservatism than anyone with the possible exception of Limbaugh. (Who was also savaged around here.)

A person who has gone out of her way to help promote this very site.

Hilarious.

"Everyone else sees a semi-emaciated Ann Coulter but Sam Hill continues to see a big white whale."

Your jokes might actually be funny (though it's unlikely) if you could even get the basics right.

I am not pursuing Ann Coulter determined to destroy her with a irrational wrath like Ahab's. Those people are on the other site -- with you.

But I suspect your education comes more from comic books than real books. So your confusion is to be expected.
