Seriously, who does this tranny* think (s)he's kidding? Self-hatred is such an awful thing...

*No offence to regular transsexuals. Just the self-hating kind who call others names.

Previously, Coulter has put “even money” on Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) “[c]oming out of the closet,” said Bill Clinton shows “some level of latent homosexuality,” and called Vice President Al Gore a “total fag.”

Nice. Worst possible insult she can think of, is it?


Oh, and didn't we just have a thread about Romney the other day? Didn't know anything about him then, still don't now. But this: Former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), prior to Coulter’s appearance: “I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!”is making a great first impression.

She hadn't received any attention in nearly half a year, so she had to do something radical.

So this is a person who, I assume, considers herself to be intelligent and above those she is insulting, yet the best she can come up with is something that sounds immature on a 12 year old?

What do you mean "self-hating"? A transexual technically isn't homosexual since they're now...*looks at link*...Ooooohh...*chuckles*...oh, you!

I guess she's feeling withered and neglected.
Media whores like her waste away if they're not in the spotlight. So she feels she has to say something outrageous to get the focus back on her.
"lookatmelookatmelookatme! pleaseee..."

And you fell for it, Fass. You should be ashamed of yourself.

When has Coulter ever demonstrated anything akin to maturity? This is the same woman who called the 9/11 Widows harpies (or something of the sort).

She just says controvercial things for attention. Ignore her and she will go away.

Yup, good ol' Dann Coulter.

Good lesson in how to make the headlines. I'm not a fan, but she entertains.. that's popular punditry, and she's made a mint at it.

And you should rid yourself of the silly notion that I give a shit. I love seeing conservatives make asses of themselves.

you give a shit enough to make a thread about it...

"Give a shit" was directed at you and your opinion...

When Republicans realized they lacked a female voice and couldn't get through to women, they had one of their more vile blowhards get his parts swapped in hopes seeing a woman who was pure evil would convince other women that the darks side might be right for them too.

She's even more immature than the idiotic middle-schoolers in my town.

"That's soo gay" "he's a total fag" "heheheheeheheheehehe"
:headbang:

So... Not only she's got the maturity of a 11-year old, she also just pointed out to these people that she can't do anything about it? I mean, even if she THINKS Edwards is a "faggot", she can't show enough self-control to refrain from calling him such? Wow.

Lolz.

Nice! I can think of better insults than Ann Coulter, and I'm 13. BTW, I call people inbred as an insult.

And lo, the cries of *First Amendment* did rise up from the ranks of the unfaithful. And God did smote them for being dickheads.

You're smearing the good name of transsexuals with this comparison. For shame.

And then conservatives like Michelle Malkin bemoan how liberals are full of hate and insanity.

Well, if you're allowed to throw the slurs around, so is she.

Difference is, Fass speaks only for himself. Coulter was speaking to conservatives who, by their silence, have given their assent to her characterization.

I think you mean...who, by their applause.

And lo, the cries of *First Amendment* did rise up from the ranks of the unfaithful. And God did smote them for being dickheads.

Sorry, but God (if he exists) is a dickhead. Either that or he's banging his head against a wall right now.

she should only throw slurs when they make sense. what about edwards screams "faggot"? nothing that i can see.

coutler however does look like man in drag. which is where i part company with fass. i wouldnt call her a transexual, she is a crossdresser.

My goal is to starve her for attention. I'm not planning to say anything more on the subject of that grasping, talentless desperate bitch.

Here's Coulter's "logic":
Edwards is a democrat, which makes him a sissy, and by extension, a fag.

That's really all there is to it.

Coultergeist is even less intelligent than the idiots at the local middle school.

She's achieved a whole new level of idiocy.

Didn't GWB already do that? :p

If people would just switch away from her station, not buy her books, not go to her speeches, and not buy her doll... (truth!)... she'd fade away.

She's sad.

Sad thing is, she makes a whole lot of money for just that level of discourse. I could do that, but I like being able to sleep at night without the help of narcotics.

In the end, it's all about $$$. Left, right, and center, it's all about making quick bucks, hail to capitalism and its wondrous side-effects.

unfortunately, she is the voice of conservatism in america. she ain't just some man off the street, or posting on some unread blog. she got wild cheers at cpac (http://www.cpac.org/), where she was gleefully introduced by a legitimate republican contender for the presidential nom. she shares stages with all of the big players in the authoritarian asshole party all the time - and she uses those shared stages to call for street-level violence against various enemies, like liberals. in fact, she has something of a vital role within the movement, moving the outright fascist agenda and talking points into the 'mainstream' of it.

basically, ignoring her won't work. not unless you can get the ~22% of the population that are fascists-in-waiting to disappear somehow.

No shit, Sherlock. Am I allowed to say that to a mod?

The sad thing is, this doesn't happen. Ann Coulter shoud be locked up in an insane asylum.

Just out of curiosity, which left and center writers make big bucks calling large groups of people traitors and godless, or by describing opposing politicians as fags?

Lolz.

Isn't she facing charges of voting in the wrong county or something?

Eventually some one will just sue her for slander.

Sad thing is, she'd probably win, as she generally goes after public figures, and it's damn near impossible to win a slander suit if you're a public individual.
So can I file a suit against her for emotional distress caused by her consistent immature pissing and moaning.

Drudge got money from deep-pocket conservative backers, and Blumenthal was on his own--Drudge just kept the case in court so long that Blumenthal had to drop it because he couldn't afford it anymore.

Yup, which is why I want to know about those charges of voting in the wrong county, they shouldn't be able to undermine criminal charges brought on by the state.

You guys need to get some British style slander/libel laws going.

Last I read--and I live just south of there, so I still hear about this occasionally--the guy in charge of voting was having trouble finding a Palm Beach DA willing to file charges, he claims, because they're gun shy about going after another high profile person after the whole "Limbaugh came back from the Dominican Republic with a suitcase full of Viagra" story. That's his side of the story and so should be discounted appropriately.

Just out of curiosity, which left and center writers make big bucks calling large groups of people traitors and godless, or by describing opposing politicians as fags?

I meant politicians; Coulter is a small fish in an ocean full of sharks. She knows that she's nothing without conservative support. Other political groups also hire nobodies to become their mouthpiece in the media; it’s just that the Republicans have gotten so good at this (trash talking). Democrats need to sharpen their fangs, and the centrist need to grow some :D

No we don't need more laws against free speech. Comments like what she makes exposes the person making them as an idiot. I would like to know what the person is really thinking. That way I can make a more informed decision on the information they put out for public consumption.

The slander/libel laws here make it necessary that somebody has to be able to back up their statements if they defame somebody. I don't see a problem with that at all.

We do have defamation of character laws. Which basically says if you are stating a fact that someone is gay and they are not. Of course it then has to be proven that your comment caused that person harm in some way. Then you can use that law against them. Now here is the catch. Most of the time someone says it is my opinion that he/she is a fag. But "opinion" is just that and cannot be considered fact. So if she said in my opinion John Edwards is a fag. Well that is just it. If she said John Edwards a fag and that is a fact. It then caused him harm in some way that can be proved. Well then that would fall into slander.

The hag wasnt getting airtime for her "I hate 9/11 widows" viewpoint, so now she's calling john edwards a faggot.

Know anybody who likes this idiot? Good time to end that acquaintance.

Ann Coulter is a fucking pus-filled slime-ridden maggot. I hope she dies.

Don't we all?

Oh, and time warp.

Well, if we go back to my original point which was in relation to Nazz saying that "it's damn near impossible to win a slander suit if you're a public individual" then it doesn't seem that your laws work so well, whereas in the UK a public individual is perfectly capable of winning libel/slander suits.

The burden of proof is on the defendant; they have to prove that what they said is either a) a fact, b) an opinion that could be held by a reasonable individual, based in fact, and without malice, or c) protected by privilege (Parliamentary or otherwise).

Seems fair enough to me.

Free speech needs limits, and what Coulter does isn't free speech, it is insulting people just to insult them - not to entertain or to prove something, just to insult them, and when you add in the fact she does it as a career, what she does isn't exercising her right to free speech, it's character assassination, and unintelligent, immature character assassination at that.

I gotta agree with Nadkor.

As should everyone :)

What is not good about being insulted by Ann Coulter? For a politician, it must mean that you have finally arrived on the scene. "Vote for me because Ann Coulter hates me." What more do you really need to know about a guy?

But all those nutjob rightwing pundits like Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly hate anyone who can even be considered opposed to their screw-loose philosophy

Right. I'm saying that an insult from them should be taken as a compliment and is probably a boost to their image when we all gather round and complain about what they said.

Free speech does have limits already. We do not need to put more on them. I think it's a slippery slope if you start with good intentions on limiting certain speech. It doesn't lead to anything good in the end. From those protesters at funerals,people calling the president a Nazi, from others calling national wars illegal to people calling others fags. However much you may disagree with some statements and find the crude and vile. You have to understand that in order to state your opinions you have to allow others to state theirs. The best way to silence someone you dislike is to not listen to them and encourage others through your free speech to not listen.

Except for the fact liberal America doesn't listen to them, and those that are listening to them will agree with whatever they say.

Yes, we do. I'd say the majority of posters in this thread are liberals who are enjoying their bashing of Coulter very much. I know that I am.

You make a basic mistake, "liberal America" isn't the same hive mind that rightwing nutjob America is.

Yeah, we're far more likely to slash each other's throats over matters of ideological purity, although you're starting to see rumblings of that in the Republican party now that they've lost Congress. The anti-abortioners and the gay-haters and the immigrant-bashers and the no-taxers all want their guy and aren't willing to compromise--at least not right now.

It depends on what you say. Hey, I thought you hated me or something. Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Go read the Daily Kos.

By all means, go read it--you'll see the anti-definition of hive-minded. You'll see screaming fights, some of which would likely get you banned around here.

The site gets hundreds of thousands of hits a day, and no one has to be a member in order to read both the content and the comments. My comment was directed at anyone who wants to see proof of what you consider a hive mind.

And by the way, it takes massive work to get banned at Daily Kos. You have to be a consistent troll--there are Republicans who have been posting there since the early days and are still around.

Well, the Republicans have blown a golden opportunity to refute that sort of allegation by not disassociating themselves from Coulter.

Hey, if not condemning terrorism with an American Idol-scale pageant 24/7 makes every Muslim in the world a terrorist, it's good for the gander too.

Actually, this wasn't a Republican convention, but a Conservative one. Republicans were there, candidates hoping to curry favor. It seems it's the Conservatives who are embracing Coulter's point of view, and where there's overlap, those Republicans who consider themselves part of the Conservative movement.

Do you have a concussion or something?

I just said that if they wanted to be seen to not have a "hive-mind", that they just missed that opportunity by not speaking out. Their actions, or rather their inactions in this matter can be said to be indicative of just such a predisposition.

Earth to DK, over.

This is Kimchi Logic. Not condemning Ann Coulter makes Busheviks individuals, but not condemning Osama Bin Ladin and his ilk makes Muslims a terrorist hivemind.

I consider myself conservative and do not support Ann Coulter at all. I do support her right to make an ass of herself though. I don't think she is an asset to conservative thinkers out there. I also do not consider myself a Republican either.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its not like faggot is a bad word, and she was obviously kidding.

And if she ever said "kike" that would be just Mann Coulter kidding as well?

As opposed to spuriously calling someone a faggot, which is just being prejudiced in a homey, good ol'-fashioned, garden-variety sort of a way?

Good lesson in how to make the headlines. I'm not a fan, but she entertains.. that's popular punditry, and she's made a mint at it.

So did minstrels in blackface. She isn't an actress, and the people who pay her bills don't buy her books and attend her events because they think she's this generation's Archie Bunker, they (like she) think that she's this generations Mark Twain.

As opposed to spuriously calling someone a faggot, which is just being prejudiced in a homey, good ol'-fashioned, garden-variety sort of a way?

Ah Dobbs... Don't you know that it's okay to use a perjorative word for an underrepresented minority, as long as you aren't adressing the term to a member of said minority? Sure, some members of that minority might feel that it's a sign that bigotry is being institutionalized, but they're just being sensitive.

After all, it's not like they've been the topic of millenia of targeted bigotry and outright opression or anything. Silly librul.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Its not like faggot is a bad word, and she was obviously kidding.

Faggot also means a bundle of firewood. They started calling gays faggots because they wanted to burn them like firewood.
So when you call someone a faggot you are saying they are gay and should be burned alive.

What do you mean "self-hating"? A transexual technically isn't homosexual since they're now...*looks at link*...Ooooohh...*chuckles*...oh, you!

A heterophobe from the geographical area that gave the world Christine Jorgenson trying to insult someone by making a false imputation of transsexuality? Now that's a good one :rolleyes:

Props to Ann Coulter for not bending over backwards--let alone forwards--to propitiate the gay lobby and their PC gunsels. You go, girl.

No. It's a bit more perverse than that.

It comes from the British school system and that story about the dying old man who asked his boys to break a bundle of sticks (a fagot). The proverbial fagot represented strength through unity.

In British schools anyone of means sent their little boys to boarding school. Yes, it is unpleasant for a small boy to be kicked out of his school, but the British thought it was kinder than letting them grow up soft due to being spoiled by having a family.

The schools used the existing hierarchy of boys in successive years as an administrative system. To teach boys leadership, older boys were given authority over younger ones. It was intended to promote strength through unity. They called it "The Fagot System." Back then the name didn't cause giggles.

Whenever men (or boys) of limited maturity and psychological development are left to their own devices to sort out their own hierarchy you are going to get sexual abuse. You get it in the military. You get it in prisons. You get it in summer camp.

You also got it at Eton. So the "Fagot System" created "Fagots." Originally it meant young men trained to enter an administrative system that governed a world wide empire. Eventually that less savory facet of their upbringing became more famous than the more publicized ones.

There is plenty of hate on the left. I don't think either side has a corner on that market.

Yes. Virtually equal amounts.

A heterophobe from the geographical area that gave the world Christine Jorgenson trying to insult someone by making a false imputation of transsexuality? Now that's a good one :rolleyes:

Props to Ann Coulter for not bending over backwards--let alone forwards--to propitiate the gay lobby and their PC gunsels. You go, girl.

ROFLCOPTER!!!!!

I'm sorry, were you being serious?

Thank you.

This is a bit off topic, but I'm honestly curious: How are you this fricking literate for a 13 year old?

Shouldn't you be out being a vagabond at your age?

Like I said--he's a perfect example of a Freeper.

Not really. I'm not insulting you, merely pointing out that your use of an outdated style of "debate" is getting this situation nowhere. I'm also fairly drunk, at the moment, and DID just throw up.

"Give a shit" was directed at you and your opinion...
Oh yes. I forgot: Anyone who doesn't immediately agree with everything you say and toady up to you, thus feeding your (very much undeserved) bloated sense of self-importance has, by definition, an opinion not worthy of consideration.
You're that perfect.

Silly me for forgetting that.
But then I've always found it surprisingly easy to ignore and forget pompous egoistic popinjays .

Considering how often you post, you must have a head like a sieve.

She does not even look like a transexual. Her alleged opinions (usually nonsense she conjures up to draw attention and enrich herself) may be revolting, but that does not change the fact that she looks nothing like a man. She isn't even ugly!

What is peculiar though is the fact that Victoria Silvstedt, with her square jaw, has gotten into Playboy (admittedly with much editing though, to make her look more round-faced and slutty):

Still not man-like, but she could cut diamonds with that jaw of hers...

We're talking about Ann Coulter, not whoever you're going on about. Please try again.
If you had even half a brain, you'd realise the first half of my post was related to her. Now shut up.

I demand proof! :p

Dude, I may live forty miles from her, but that's about as close as I want to get. No way am I getting within range of finding out if she's taping it back or not.

I demand proof! :p

Eh, one thing - I am not a fan of Ms Coulter's actual opinions (even though she can be funny). She does not look like a man though, nor is she ugly.

Translate "she" into "you" if that's your fetish.

Well I have expressed my opinion in my first post, but it seems with this new "feature" Jolt has, you wont see it until it is approved.

Conservatives hate seeing minorities . Liberals hate racism.

Conservatives, misrepresenting the facts. Liberals hate ignorance.
Conservatives love government programs that create more sufferers. Liberals hate conservatives making people "end their suffering."
Conservatives hate being lied about when they're right (and are fortunate that those two events almost never occur together). Liberals hate people who expose them when they're doing wrong (which is why they laugh just as hard when the Daily Show mocks liberals).
Conservatives accept being shown that they're wrong.(I can't fix this bit. My processor shuts down when I highlight it. Something about machines not being able to process the absurd) Liberals are usually present when logic and reason are being flushed down the toilet (because they're arguing with the conservatives who are doing it).
Conservatives hate arguing with power-obsessed, self-righteous, arrogant, know-it-alls. They prefer BEING power-obsessed, self-righteous, arrogant, know-it-alls Liberals hate not getting to reason with people.
