RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Ann Coulter

Two points:

1) Ann Coulter did not expose the story that John Edwards had an affair, she just mentioned that the ENQUIRER reported it.

and

2) the liberal media seems to be bending over backwards not to report this story. As this blog points out, if it were a Republican accused of the same thing, it would lead the news every night for weeks. But the Washington Post, New York Times and other liberal sources are deflecting this story as much as possible.

it's the national enquirer and a blog. that's generally not equated with solid reporting.

It's a story about a major Democrat candidate's infidelity, that the New York Times, Washington Post, and other liberal sources seem reluctant to either confirm or disprove.

One of the other sources listed was the Huffington Post.

Really? Cool. this is the current banner on their home page right now:

Ex Iraq Commander: US Officials "Derelict In Their Duties"...Have "Lust For Power"..."Incompetent Strategic Leadership"

I'm glad you stand behind the Huffington Posts reporting.

but In all seriousness, I went to the Huffington Post to corroborate your claim. All I found was links to the fact that it has been alleged. It was basically links to where right wing sites are claiming it to be so and links to news sources such as ABC News where Edwards comments on the National Enquirer story after the fact. There is no 'Huffington Post exposes Edwards' story anywhere there that I found.

It was linked right there in the blog above.

On the other point, I can agree with military commanders in Iraq who come out and say there's been mismanagement of the war. Many have said this, and it's a fact that Rumsfeld was not giving commanders what they needed, and that the 2003 Iraq invasion from the beginning was with less than the Pentagon generals thought was necessary to do the job.

But that doesn't mean I think we should pull out immediately, or that the current Surge is not yielding significant results.

You must have missed Scindler's List then. In nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state.

he walked out halfway through when he saw that Schindler was helping illegal immigration.

And yet if Ray or I do it, even in jest, we're full of hate.

How many times also, do we have to hear that someone is being misinterpreted or misunderstood? Again, i hear that all the time from you guys. It's the defense that always comes AFTER the offensive and/or generalizing comment.

You wanted me to use WB's List format of quoting articles so I'll do so:



Hatred. This is what this is all about. And only her last defenders and people who swallowed her bitter pills think it's anything but hatred. It's certainly not elevating the discourse.



This is clearly a matter of opinion. One I'm sure you'll disagree with. Still, one can make sport on a lot of her claims. And people do.



THIS is what she does primarily. Stoke outrage and intolerance. There is no misunderstanding. Any more than if I would say "Conservatives are retards" or "southern right wingers sleep with their daughters" would be a misunderstanding. Although if I tried hard enough I'm sure I could produce data to bolster my inflammatory rhetoric. And as Rutten says, it's all just red meat for the base. A game. she throws red meat, the left responds, and her supporters are filled with glee over the outrage she caused them. I really don't see the humanity in all this though.




Good question. In my case it's because some of the stuff she says is so outrageous and hate filled that to let it stand would be a silent endorsement of that kind of discourse. It does indeed play into her cynical game though.






I don't know why that reminded me of the Dixie Chicks. Remember when they made their comments about Bush a lifetime ago? And everyone on the right was so outraged? And then we heard about how free speech comes with responsibility and how they were free to say what they wanted but they should also be prepared for the consequences of that speech? which in essence sounded to me like veiled threats and intimidation to STFU.

I think she's free to say what she damn well pleases. But why is there a need for the media to give her a forum to call John Edwards a faggot, to attack the 9/11 widows? To call for the deaths of political opponents? All with a fey giggle and a disclaimer that she's just kidding.

In that case can I go on TV and use th N word and then laugh and say i was kidding? No. I'd be run out of town on a rail! Free speech or otherwise. Because there are standards of decency and taste when it comes to things like that. Standards that don't seem to apply to this woman.



Too late. Already you see this language abound as far up as the hallowed halls of Congress. I'll quote myself just to spare my fingers another workout:







Glib is the correct word. And as I said, that is what this woman does best. Look at her videos and she'll insult Jews with a toss of her hair and a giggle as if it's all very innocent, clever, and funny. And except for this instance where if not for Deutsh, offended Jews, offended people with common decency, and the liberal camp have responded in unison, she would have happily walked away to spread bile another day.



All par for the course. Turn your defensive stance into offense. Like I said before, it's not going to work this time. No reasonable person can see that video and think Deutsh was attacking a Christian spokesperson. So what does that make Coulter, a person who insulted Jews, (thru her allies) trying to turn the 1st offended person in all this (Deutsh) into the actual perpetrator of the religious hatred rather than her?? Besides an obvious asshole that is? I'd go with monster. A liar is a softer term but would also apply.



Valid question. Good question. One that deserves a response from her supporters. Because as I said, she isn't a political commentator as much as she is a cancer. One that is spreading.

So I broke down and listed that entire essay and left no room about how I feel about most every point therein. So it's not just a cut & paste job.

I really doubt that Ann is anti-Semitic, especially given that her mentor at Cornell was Professor Jeremy Rabkin. Rabkin was a conservative, perhaps Orthodox, Jew.

Ann's comment was clearly meant in the sense that many Christians hope that everyone will embrace Jesus as "the way" to salvation. It does not mean, in any sense, that Jews are inferior.

It seems that for a political commentator, Ann just can't seem to ever explain her self well.

Kind of like like being a doctor who can't stand the sight of blood I sppose....

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

So G-Man, since you're on Ann's side of the fence and from reading your last post, a defender of her latest slime, do you agree with the counter argument presented?



Was she ambushed? Is Donny Deutsh an anti-Christian bigot?

I have no idea who Donny Deutsh is. Furthermore, even if I did know who is is, unlike Coulter, I didn't attend college with him and, therefore, would have less insight into his thoughts or beliefs.

Can Ann Coulter REALLY be considered a Christian icon?

Sure she can.

If you're Ann Coulter and you made an offensive remark aimed at Jewery in general, what other strategy is available to you in the right wing playbook?

You 1st say you were misrepresented.

Then you claim you were ambushed.

Then you turn the tables and accuse whoever got the better of you of the exact same thing you are guilty of and hope it sticks.

Then you accuse whoever got the better of you of being full of "hate".

So therefore it ends up being not that Ann Coulter offended Jews but that a Jew attacked Coulter on account of her being a Christian icon.

Up is down. Night is day.

Shit, you see it here often enough! I'd think you'd understand the right wing game by now.

So... What you're saying is Ann Coulter is going to make an alt id of the Deutsch guy, and then not apologize though everyone agrees she went over the line?

Lie, deny but never apologize.

Must I point again that you are too comprehension challenged to see she made no insult "in general" whatsoever?

Why don't you go down to the Simon Weisenthal Center and the Anti-Defamation League and insult their comprehension skills too while you're on your roll.

I try to be civil towards you Pariah. But you just show this incredible arrogance in your posts.

Just because you don't see any insult in ANYTHING Ann Coulter says doesn't mean that you're the final word on the subject. It just means you're her target audience.

It gets worse... Far worse.

The defense of this that is.
The World Net Daily. An American conservative online news site, founded in 1997. It is currently in the top 80 News sites as listed at Alexa.



What Coulter said was offensive but this is frankly revolting. And this is apparently the game plan. Defend Coulter by aggresively going on the offense. First on Deutsh and now on Jews??! For attacking Christians??!!

The hate is unleased (or unhinged) in it's full disgusting spectacle.

Which is exactly what i was talking about when I said Coulter was a spreading cancer.

Its always amusing when someone takes pariah seriously.

All I know is menopause must've arrived early for her 'cause she looks bleh.

Make tonight a Man-Witch night!


... or not...

I think it's less likely menopause and just that she's one of those women who thinks too thin is attractive.

It hasn't been brought up anywhere that I know of but Coulter's interpretation of grace is fucked up as well. With her, it was like a mean spirited nya nya towards the Jews. "We don't have to follow the law" "We have the fast track to heaven". Like I commented before, she's a crap witness. It almost sounds as if she's one of those people that thinks grace means you have license to do whatever you want and it's forgiven.

I like to phrase grace this way. You're not saved because you follow the law, you follow the law BECAUSE you are saved. It's just something that comes naturally and (somewhat) easily (or easier) after you're saved.

the difference between the religious Right and the religious Left .
people forget that if Jesus was real, he was the first Hippy.

This is a decent article on Jesus as well. but really, do you need ANY articles? All you need to do is open the bible and it's there plain as day.

Jesus told many parables and left many examples that leaves no doubt what he believed. And it's usually NOT about the virtues of wealth and power. It's always about humility, love, and giving.

Welfare checks.

Can't really afford to give anything unless you're wealthy nowadays.

Being virtuous is encouraged to insure you maintain a healthy philosophical attitude, but it's hardly a requirement. That's like saying healthcare is voluntary charity that's mandatory.

A great quote by Ann Coulter on the Glenn Beck tv program today:

"You can identify what Democrats are up to by what they accuse you of"



So true. In the context of her remark, she was talking about how Democrats are accusing people's sounding off publicly in protest to Obama --scolding Democrats nationwide at town hall meetings over the last few days-- of being staged events, instead of being the honest outrage of individuals they truly are.

When in truth the staged events are by ACORN and their cloaked subsidiary organizations, Moveon, Code Pink and so forth.

And for that matter, staged comments at the very top by Pelosi, Reid, Barney Frank, Dick Durbin, and Barbara Boxer, among other tools of the DNC, slandering average Americans who are finally outraged enough to object to Obama and the DNC's unprecedented waste, and abuse of power.

Because the heshe has never, ever accused someone of being anything they weren't.

Also, her latest column:

"TAKE TWO ASPIRIN AND CALL ME WHEN YOUR CANCER IS STAGE 4"

Look who's talking. You do that ALL DAY LONG, Rex.

Dumbass.

That's because I'm better than everyone, heshe isn't.

The unemployed basement-dwelling sockfucker is better than everyone else.

Oh, the irony !

I'm glad you finally can see that. With help you might actually someday be a real person.
