Time For Your Regular Dose Of Twaddle From Ann Coulter
Folks I wouldn’t keep showing this stuff if so many people didn’t buy into her craziness. This is what you need to be vigilant against.
Democrats should run Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for president. He’s more coherent than Dennis Kucinich, he dresses like their base, he’s more macho than John Edwards, and he’s willing to show up at a forum where he might get one hostile question — unlike the current Democratic candidates for president who won’t debate on Fox News Channel. He’s not married to an impeached president, and the name “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad” is surely no more frightening than “B. Hussein Obama.”
And liberals agree with Ahmadinejad on the issues! We know that because he was invited by an American university to speak on campus.
Insert your own punchline.

Mother Theresa grabs Ann by the ear and tells her how young ladies are to stay away from creeps like Imadinerjacket. Then she gets ten wacks with a ruler for her casual skirt being four hand lengths above the knee.
I say we should throw a Burkha on Ann Coulter and deport her to Afghanistan pre war days!
She can dream all she wants over there.

Well, I think she makes several good points, particularly about universities inviting every and any crackpot to speak, as long as they can be counted upon to dis America but behaving abominably to any conservative who manages to make it on to campus to speak and then those who behave so abominably are gently told never to do that again //wink, wink!// For all their talk of free speech and free exchange of a wide range of points of view, there are few places where diversity of ideas includes conservative points of view least often than in universities’ sociology departments, womens’ studies, African American studies, Middle Eastern Studies, GLBT studies departments. Her bringing up Harvard’s former president’s case is emblematic of all that is hypocritical of most universities’ devotion to free speech. His suggestion that physiological differences might (not did) be one contributing factor (not the entire explanation and not ruling out other factors) to the dearth of women in the highest levels of the sciences and math got him summarily drummed out not only of Harvard but, if his recent disinvitation to speak at a university dinner occasion is any indication, out of polite liberal society as well.
As always, she herself behaves abominably in print and in public, wildly exaggerating her targets’ faults in the most scurrilous manner while ignoring all nuance. She perfectly displays her combination of point making with scurrility that keep her popular with the red-meat crowd on the Right.
Anyway, I hereby offer my own disapprobation of Ann Coulter.

Oh boohoo Ann Coulter is practicing free speech and Tom feels threatened.
Here’s a pie in your face!
XXXXXOOOOO

I don’t think Tom feels threatened, Lisa. He’s just reminding us of how stupid, bitter, and hateful people like Ann Coulter, and you, can be.

Amazing that even stupid people can have a law degree and write 6 books. Okay maybe threatened isn’t the word. Maybe the word is envious.
And I’ll save bitter for you Jersye because that’s all you’ve been for the last 7 years and still going strong.

I don’t think Ann is stupid. I just think she does more damage to conservatism than all the damage that ten Michael Moore might do to liberalism. No liberal is convinced by her acerbity and all conservatives are given a black eye by her overwrought rhetoric. She drives people like me nuts. The list of inaccuracies in her various books is almost as long as her books. Ann Coulter is no friend to conservatives.

Lisa,
Seven years? Has it been that long? And how’d you know that? Do you remember me from Hannity forums? Or are you just assuming that I’m bitter about the Bush presidency? (I’m not bitter, not surprised, not angry - just really, really disappointed in the American people.)

Well am just assuming since Bush has been in office for 7 years. A little exaggeration there but it feels like forever.:)
