Ann is fired, long live Ann.
It's not that Ann is that extreme, it's that she's a Conservative. And that means that she must couch her every word lest the truth be uttered in public.
Nobody bats an eyelash when Bush, Rumsfeld or some other administration target of the day is referenced with the name Hitler. It isn't a problem at all if heterosexuals are lambasted for thinking a--l sex is NOT just another viable lifestyle to be pumped into our children's heads. It doesn't matter that while we've been promoting Moslim teachings in our schools against decades of sanctimoney by the left, saying that Moslems are just grand even though their religion damns you, I and all Christians as infidels, that they almost unanimously remain silent as church mice on the events of 09/l1. God, let's not mention this. And please forgive me for evening mentioning that name in this political climate. I may get fired too.
"But, we don't welcome haters, Ann, and that's what you are." Well you'll forgive me Bob if for a minute there your open letter to Ann sounded a wee bit like hate to me. Show me one thing that Ann said that is off the mark partner. I think it would do you a world of good to have to validate your hate.
As for you not publishing Ann's column anymore, there are other venues for Anns views. I am glad they won't be published on your site any longer. That's just one less reason to drop by, a good idea in anyone's book when a person with such few comprehension skills as yourself wields so much power there.
As for sexual histories, we've seen a lot of that being swept under the carpet. Bill Cliniton's rapes are under there. So are Teddy's, Jack's, Bobbie's and a myriad of other dip stick leftists with the moral clartiy to be icons of the left. Why not sweep the rest of the crud under there right? No need for any strong feelings about any of this...
"But, Ann, you're mean -- vicious, really -- which is why we do not believe that you in any way serve the public good." You wouldn't know good if it reared up and bit you where the ex-pres used to get serviced while on the phone conducting our nation's business. But then that's under the carpet isn't it.
"On a late summer morning almost a year ago, all of us -- Republicans, Democrats and everyone else -- witnessed what hate is capable of. Since that day, Americans have tried to remember that they are on the same side, regardless of differences in skin color, nation of origin, religion or political viewpoint. It has not always been easy because, more than ever, those who are different can seem more threatening. But we're trying because what we have in America is worth keeping." In all my years of reading sanctimonious editoral tripe, this is perhaps the worst, most self-debasing example I've ever seen. How you could lower yourself to debase Ann utilizing a Pearl Harbor type event, is beyond me. Evidently you didn't have the brain power to understand that this tactic would be seen for the shallow, childish, irresponsible, slander that it was. And having been seen for what it was, you turn out to be the larger hater of the two, Ann and yourself. There was no card too low to play was there fella? What a sick person you must be to think this was appropriate.
Yes we did have a late summer morning surprise last year. It occurred about seven years after an attack on our Oklahoma City homeland, partially inspired and co-sponsored by the same people you are seeking to defend. The fact is we have had other hijack attempts since 09/11. There are still sleeper cells in our nation. Our government admits it. Everyone else admits it. And you in you unmitigated gall seek to pass of Moslim complicity by damning Ann. Well, good luck sir, it's gonna be a rude awakening the next time one of those sleeper cells awakens, but I'm sure you'll be able to spin that one for us also, you dim wit.
"It won't be easy because you..." Oh it'll be easy enough. I won't be shedding any tears for you. People who couch their words and praise folks who hate our gutts are a dime a dozen. Why not get some of those folks from A.N.S.W.E.R. that support all democrat causes, and recieve much support in return. They hate Israel, love the Palestinians, think Moslems are great, slander Christians, hate republicans openly, think the war against terrorism is the devil's doing, want Bush skewered because he's the world's premier terrorist, and have never seen a conservative candidate they could mouth the names of, without foaming at the lips. Come to think of it, they sound sortof like you do. Ah yes, the leftist ability to love neverendingly. Too bad Al Qaeda and the Taliban are their pet projects at the moment. Oh and I forgot, Saddam has a special place in their hearts too.
You think Ann is a hater. You really do lead a sheltered life my friend. I protest for the right often enough to know that it is the leftists in this nation that assult protesters that don't agree with them, not the other way around. You should get out more.
