I guess there are only a few good-looking Republican guys like Todd Palin. It seems like most handsome guys are Democrats and liberal. :(

Punditry 101 With Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter is being treated like a real intellectual. Several universities, including Kansas University and Vanderbilt University, invited her to speak, as if Republican Barbie on Crack were a deep thinker. You can call Ann Coulter a lot of things,…

ms. coulter is just a symptom of dramatic systemic flaws. particularly in the education system, but i shouldn’t get started about the ‘dumbing down of america,’ cultural indoctrination, and the methodology of social acculturation as a means to achieving conformity, as i could talk all night about those things…
jefferson had his ‘marketplace of ideas,’ and i believe it to be correct [still]. good ideas rise to prominence and the foolish or ill-favored ideas sink, to be recycled into something better or raised, only to be dismissed, yet again.
fact: she has a right to be wrong and bleat her hatred and vitriol as much as she’d like. it’s appalling, but we must be mindful; censorship has yet to be a positive thing in any liberated civil culture. i would fight to the death, even with my pacifist leanings, for everyone to have their say, whether they be total idiots, reprobates, or actual post-enlightenment thinkers like many here seem to be.

i guess that makes me a better patriot than her, but…

she is her own worst enemy. time is not on her side; ms. coulter may be in a state of ascension now, but she is not in the right, and as the pendulum shifts, she is sure to be a casualty.

so, i restate:
she is a threat to liberal thought, why?

[have a great night everyone.]

I was there, and it wasn’t the little College Republicans who came to bounce us– but they weren’t so large that I couldn’t stand up and explain that they WOULD have to come through me to get to the hecklers down my row. I’m only 5’9″ tall and 165 pounds, and there were six guys facing me down on my end, and at least another ten on the other end of the row where most of the hecklers were.

I cover it here:

She’s been going around accusing us of treason and worse for years. As far as I’m concerned, those are fighting words. The closer this fight gets to the streets, the happier I get.

Doesn’t really matter it “Lieds” is pronounced “Leeds,” because this is a visual medium, and anyone not familiar with the name will get the joke.

But Coulter is the real joke.

I attended KU for a year. I can honestly say that, hearing the story of the heckling of Ann Coulter, I’m proud of my brief tenure as Jayhawk.

I must confess, though, that those photos of the big, bad campus Republicans make me feel all shivery, cold and afraid. I think I might have send my four-year-old neice in to kick their butts.

“this is a threat to liberal thought, why?”

When someone with Ann Coulter’s history of vile and bigoted comments gets treated as a legitimate columnist and speaker rather than as a fanatic and nutcase, it helps to push the envelope of what is acceptable in public discourse. How would we respond to a Muslim who called on Muslims to attack the US, assassinate our leaders, and convert us to Islam? Was her comment wishing that Timothy McVeigh would have attacked the New York Times building any less horrific than what Ward Churchill said? Her comparison of the Janet Jackson Super Bowl incident to National Geographic was racist and highly offensive. And almost every week she demonizes liberals as pro-terror and America-hating, and trivializes prison abuse and civilian casualties. Yet she is welcomed as a speaker on Fox News and at major conservative gatherings, and no major Republican official has ever condemned anything she said.

Credit where it's due, Brad; Unapologetic Atheist and I posted this story first. Incidentally, I understand the College GOP muscle, while not scrawny and weak like your typical Young GOPers, were just as cowardly.

Your wish is my command.
Video.

I’m pretty sure I can hear some applause right as it (almost) happens. Terrifying!

I wish I could find that clip of Ann and the attempted entartage I always get a kick watching her clomp away like a Clydesdale.

it is a pleasure to see that ms. coulter is symbolizing all the refined dignity republicans can muster.
the verbal harangues against people of opposing opinions [which as a leftist i do find impolitic--there is a venue--she should be verbally 'corrected during q & a], the plea for a mob of ‘right-thinking’ [sorry for the pun] bullies to correct dissent…
she sounds great.
it is obvious she embodies the best republicanism has to offer.

this is a threat to liberal thought, why?

Question someone should ask Coulter at her next forum:

Are you not in fact the real-life role model for Christina Ricci?s character in The Ice Storm?

Well, the joke wasn’t entirely lost…
I’m just sorry that my alumnifolk weren’t capable of doing something more amusing or shaming to Ms. Coulter.

TheaLogie,
Yes, there’s nothing more to digest after seeing ‘womenfolk’ in that quote.

“I’ve come to find I like liberals a lot more,” Coulter said early in her speech. “They’re kind of cute when they’re cold, shivering and afraid.”

I had no idea that information on the political affiliation of Abu Ghraib prisoners even existed. mAnn sure has ‘her’ connections.

That’s right- we Lefties hate strong-willed, independant women.
Those damn feminazis and their attempts to get all women back in bonnets and floor length dresses and back in the house, cooking and cleaning as God intended…
:sigh:

John Altevogt, a conservative GOP activist from Wyandotte County, also welcomed Coulter.

“Ann Coulter is logical, rational and an independent thinker,” he said. “In essence, everything the left hates in their womenfolk.”

That was by far the best line in the article. If I weren’t so lazy, I’d criticize the content of that quote… but instead, I’ll just point and laugh about someone using the word “womenfolk” (and laugh twice as hard that it is a reference to Ann Coulter).
