Such a bigot

[anonemouse 1]

Anne Coulter is who I am talking about. Do you know what the bigoted bitch said now? She called Senator Edwards a faggot. How anyone can support this woman, I don't know. At least people from her own party are speaking out against her.

She has more balls than most Republican men do.

Maybe she is a transvestite.:croc:

I guess the reason people listen to what she says is because it's so shocking. She's a nut-ball, just like Russ Limbaugh. That anyone believes anything they say and cheers them on just shows that there are a lot of nut-balls out there.

If they didn't carry any influence, it wouldn't be so bothersome and we could just laugh at them. But they mix just enough truth in the stories they tell so that people actually believe they're telling the whole truth. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I thought it was hilarious, honestly. But I'm really really really not PC.

I have gay friends and have been called "breeder" more than once. If we were really honest, most of us say intolerant things at times. We have intolerant beliefs in our heads.

It's part of being human.

She's no different, except she says it out loud. But she also meant that in jest and WANTED to create outrage, which is how she makes her money- key issue.

Most people don't really care what Ann Coulter thinks, except that she says witty and outrageous things about political opponents and so they hire her to speak. They buy her books.

But she isn't all shock value, either. Have you have ever heard her speech about racial profiling and terrorism and airport security? I gave that speech a standing ovation in my living room after seeing it on TV. She's not stupid, that's for sure:

This latest "outrage" will probably deepen her pockets by another 2 or 3 million, too. And good for her. After all, we do still have free speech in this country.

Love her or hate her, she does give us something to Rant and Rave about!

But I say if free speech is okay for everyone else, so should it be for her.

Ouch. Free speech hurts when people are hurling insults. If she had used the n-word to describe Barak Obama, there would be moral outrage. But because she hurled an anti-gay sentiment, it's then ok?

She is a sentationalist. A media whore. And we all play into it. Even me.

She has more balls than most Republican men do.

Launching epithets equals having balls?

You said in the "Man Love does not rule in Alabama" thread: "Maybe, some people need to hate people who are different than themselves. Maybe some of those people also need to hurt people that they hate."

I find her words hurtful. She may not have thrown rocks, but she threw hate. It's rude. And it's wrong. I'd rather she tear him down for his politics...I could at least respect that.

[anonemouse 1]

Amen. She does grate on my nerves sometimes. But I say if free speech is okay for everyone else, so should it be for her.

Let me ask this: Did you think it was okay for radio stations to ban the Dixie Chicks or for people to burn their CDs?

If that was okay to do to them, we should all be advocating that it be done to Coulter.

Me, I would rather people stand up and call her what she is. I don't want them to ban her from anything, but I would love it if the Republican right that advocated all the crap against the Dixie Chicks refused to let her give speeches.

This just in: Companies to pull ads from Coulter's website

I was trying to be cute, but my distaste for her runs deep.

My remark meant that she says things that others only think, but do not dare to say. Hence she has the balls to say what others are afraid to say.

She plays with logic as when on the YouTube clip she says that 100% of the airline attacks in the last 20 year shave been committed by Muslims, so when there is a 100% chance, it is ceases to be profiling, it is a description of the suspect.

She is wrong in her logic. Just because 100% of the attacks are by Muslims, doesn't mean that 100% of Muslims are doing it, and profiling 100% of Muslims is punishing innocent people.

Just about every serial killer of prostitutes has been a white man. Should we ask our police to stop every white man walking the streets late at night? Or to stop every white man driving alone late at night?

Of course not, but it is worse than that. How do you tell a Muslim from a Jew. Many people can not tell a Muslim from person from India (who are very seldom Muslims). Many people can not tell a Muslim from an Hispanic. Chinese people are sometimes Muslims as are some whites and some Blacks.

If I was a Muslim and wanted to hijack a plane, I would carry a copy of the KJV of the Bible with me, or wear a Yamaka.

It is funny how the conservative FOX Noise channel made a big fuss the other day, because an airport worker escorted ex-vice president Gore around airport security. This is the same FOX that wants profiling of Muslims to allow the safe people faster access to airplanes. Seems like FOX is being “Fair and Balanced" as usual. They want Muslims profiled because of the high risk of terrorism, but want the ex-vice president treated like anyone else, though I haven't heard of any planes being hijacked by vice-presidents, past or present.

The US has a pilot program for speeding frequent fliers through security screening. FOX has been in favor of these type programs in the past. I wonder if FOX would think that Al Gore is as low a risk as the frequent flyers in the pilot program. I wonder if Muslims will be allowed to sign up for the program.

No ma'am. Not at all. I love the Dixie Chicks. I've danced to Natalie Maines since she was a child following her daddy's band to west Texas rodeo dances. I did not like what was done to them at all and I was very proud of their comeback despite those who shunned them. As I said, if they should be allowed free speech, so should Ann Coulter. Do I subscribe to either of their remarks? Probably not..

BTW, I sought out 'I'm Not Ready to Make Nice' and had it downloaded before it ever hit the charts. Gotta love those west Texas girls..

That's wonderful. But it's probably not the same story for a lot of people supporting her. Which probably drives me nuts more than anything.

BTW, I liked "Not Ready to Make Nice", also. And "Earl's Gotta Die". Now THAT was a funny video.

Ann Coulter has accused almost every liberal in politics of being gay, including both Bill and Hillary Clinton. And we all know what a good psychiatrist would make of THAT.

A little bit of "the lady doth protesteth too much"?

[BJean 16]

She is so darned shrill and unattractive. I wouldn't be surprised if she really did have a screwed up sexual orientation. I guess that would make anyone pissy if it went against your politics and you had to try to hide it.

[anonemouse 1]

I was just watching her on Fox. She says the connotation had nothing to do with sexual orientation, but more a joke referring to Isaiah whatever his name is (Grey's Anatomy) comments. According to her it was a bully-ish playground remark, meaning nothing much as she knows Edwards is not Gay.

If that's true, she needs a better writer.

[Tired_Old_Man 1]

Its called sending up a trial balloon. :usa2:

If the response is good, you stick with the remark. If the reponse is negative, you claim that you were only kidding.:violin:

[BJean 16]

It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to get heard and talked about. The more outrageous, the more people get stirred up and the more power they feel they have.

It's like the Rosie O'Donnel/Donald Trump thing. They might have started out really popping off at each other, but then I think it turned into get as much mileage out of it as you can so you can be in the news and a topic on all the talk shows. So then it got completely crazy. Man it would suck to be in show business.
