Andrew Sullivan: It’s all getting a little hysterical (Ann Coulter = Michael Moore)

The Sunday Times (U.K.) ^ | 07/06/03 | Andrew Sullivan

[Pokey78]

Pinging both thre Sullivan & Coulter lists.

[squidly]

I think Ms. Coulter's only big mistake is using "liberal" and "Democrat" as synonymous terms. Sometimes they are, and sometimes they aint.

[tet68]

Andrew, if you don't want her, I'll take her.

Liberals, Bahh!

[Cold Heat]

Sullivan cannot put Ann and Dumbo (Moore)in the same bag, as he has attempted to do.

The reason is that while they both draw the ire of the other side, Dumbo does it by lying and Ann does it with the cold hard facts.

Sullivan is off the wall on this and several other things lately.

[Zipporah]

"..scruple-free tactics of those like Moore and Coulter.."

Uh.. comparing the scruples of Coulter and Moore is like comparing apples to a**holes.

[Bommer]

Andrew won't go for her anyways. Likes to be a prison punk and play bend over and get the soap, if you know what I mean!

[Prodigal Son]

Can I post this?

[Tax-chick]

Gives himself away: If you condemn good and bad liberals alike,

He thinks there are good liberals. Idiot! Some are just better actors than others. Andrew Sullivan's act is the one that's getting old ...

[Mr. Mojo]

Few would dispute that she’s a babe.

Count me as one of the few.

[Prodigal Son]

Here are a few comments about “liberals” that Coulter has deployed over the years:

• “Liberals are fanatical liars.”
• Liberals are “devoted to class warfare, ethnic hatred and intolerance”.
• Liberals “hate democracy because democracy requires persuasion and compromise rather than brute political force”.

Hmmm. So, what's Sullivan's beef?

[cherry_bomb88]

How can you compare someone who's graduated law school to someone who dropped out of college after barely graduating high school?????

[TLBSHOW]

Everyone is going nuts. Can't wait for Ann's reply if she even bothers to read this trash.

[Kozak]

No punches are pulled. Ted Kennedy is an “adulterous drunk”.

What the hell is wrong with Ann, that SHOULD read:
BLOATED MURDERING ADULTEROUS DRUNK.

[somemoreequalthanothers]

To say that Coulter and Moore have the same amount of factual basis in the works they put forth is blatantly absurd. Sullivan trying to be centrist 'voice of reason'. Screw him.

[EGPWS]

Thanks for the ping!

in a world of blogs and talk radio and cable news — it is increasingly hard to stand out. Coulter’s answer to that dilemma is twofold: look amazing and ratchet up the rhetoric against the left until it has the subtlety and nuance of a car alarm.

The arrogance and selfishness shines in Ann! Alas, someone that plays the game and in so doing fights fire with fire!

More of the likes of Ann Coulter should be seen as a benifit to all!

[vbmoneyspender]

As Brendan Nyhan, the media critic, has documented, her flights of fancy go back a long way. No punches are pulled. Ted Kennedy is an "adulterous drunk" . . ..

Is Sullivan complaining because it is false to say this or because it is impolite to say this? I don't know about Andrew, but if I was married and drove off a bridge with a galpal inside my car who was not my wife and I then left her to drown while I got together with my family to figure out how to do damage control, I would be damn happy if all I was called was an 'adulterous drunk.'

The fanatics's role in history is a long and honorable one. <johnwayne> It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.</johnwayne>

Notice how the liberals aren't screaming about that reactionary extremist Rush Limbaugh anymore? He's practically a moderate now. Heh heh.

[Mr. Mojo]

As Brendan Nyhan, the media critic, has documented, her flights of fancy go back a long way. ..... Ted Kennedy is an “adulterous drunk”. President Clinton had “crack pipes on the White House Christmas tree”. You get the idea.

Iow, she's a straight shooter.

[SubMareener]

But America surely deserves better.

Yes, Andrew, it does. America deserves someone much better that you. Ann Coulter will do for starters. Then there is Starr Parker. And all the other Republican Babes!
