I won't tout Ann's choice of epithets on Mr. Edwards tho... I think she actually meant to convey her contempt for his 'spineless' convictions... and in this respect I am bound to agree with her a'plenty...

Very good of you not to "tout" Coulter's epithet, ttr. Dismayed to learn you agree with her. The contempt I feel for people like Coulter is enough to keep me from believing *anything* she says. In the event she ever says something truthful, helpful or unhateful, I'll wait for someone else to say it and then laud the sentiment.

How anyone with a smidgen of brain and a modicum of decency could sit there and admire the woman is beyond me.

As to Edwards' new and huge home- I wonder if the people who decry someone else's "country getaway" as being too lavish, expensive and whatever else are only demonstrating their green faces - and I do NOT mean green as in environmentally caused. I suspect that, given the resources, those same people would be out there a-buildin'.

But Ann skirts some truths that the left has kept stowed away deep in it's subconscious for generations... She's got her finger on the pulse of the 'dark side' of the 'liberal mindset', and no matter how unpleasant it may be to accept it... Ann manages to 'nail it'.

Peace... As I scan the medial horizon, I find a great deal of press to the effect of "if the democrats can get it together"... from both sides of the isle.

Don Firth... Ann's 'nastiness' is matched in intensity but not in form all over this forum... and though it may take a different form as it comes from those who disagree (however vehemently) with her... I find it to be just as negative.

Greg... I don't agree. Ann is no 'psychopath'. Look it up, and you'll see it doesn't apply. If you were to say 'sociopath'... at least we could have a discussion about it...

Greg- you've just described 90% of Mudcatters!!! (Myself included of course!!!)

Seriously, whatever problems she has are something that she and her family need to deal with. The rest of us need to stop giving her attention that she craves.

While I never had a conversation with her other than a "hello", I have been in the same room with her on a number of occasions when she was a guest at a cable network where I used to work. She was quite pleasant and cooperative with the crew. In her younger days, she used to follow the Grateful Dead! The person I saw was normal. In my opinion, her growing fame enabled her to spout controversial statements because she knows what sells. She is an entertainer, not a pundit.

She does not have the power unless we give it to her by paying attention. She is her own worst enemy.   Watch her self destruct.

There has always been a segment of our nation composed of low-lifes, the kind who will turn to at a witch-burning and scream in hatred at a Commie-burning or a lynching, who join any mob that makes noise loud enough or on the right frequency, and will comply -- usually in the basest way -- with any button pusher who comes along.

Barnum knew his stuff when he said "There's a sucker born every minute". Carnie sideshows suck them in with mystery. Political manipulators suck them in with hatred and fear. Snake-oil salesmen play on the terrors of potential illness, and convincing people they are the same as their meat-tickets.

Ann Coulter learned that by being as hateful as she can she could make people flinch and throw money. Limbaugh, Hannity, and the deep-voiced flailing preachers of cable TV do the same thing. Everyone wants to fleece the sheep. Unfortunately this reduces them to the same level of idiocy as those they fleece.

Franken goes to a lot of trouble to get his facts straight and to follow them up a bit deeper than some. Also, he always leavens his assertions with a generous dollop of humor, even self-deprecating humor. This is not an attribute I have ever heard used in describing Coulter or Limbaugh, for example. Just an observation. Ihave also never heard Franken resort to vitriol of the kind that spew out of Coulter and Limbaugh routinely. Not that I have heard everything he's ever said.

Anybody who defends Ann Coulter--in anything--needs to have a pretty tight argument in doing so. Sorry to say yours does not make the cut.


It's a good thing most "rhymers" don't share your charming penchant for opening your mouth without putting your mind in gear. It would be just about enough to give poetry a bad name. Not that I would want to cast aspersions on your mental processes, of course.

"Franken goes to a lot of trouble to get his facts straight and to follow them up a bit deeper than some."

I'm not sure if that is accurate either.   Then again, does it really matter to what degree they utilize their skills? A prostitute is a prostitute regardless of whether they turn one trick or dozens. They both might have hearts of gold, but they are equally guilty.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying that Franken or the others are wrong. The left needs more people like them simply because they could never play the game the way the conservatives have done. Circus entertainers like Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter have years of experience at going for the laugh and captivating the audience.   The progressive movement has not had a key media mover since Abbie Hoffman decided to check out.   The left has played the role of the good little kid in the schoolyard and kept turning the other cheek while the big bully beats the crap out of him.   It is time to knock Coulter, Limbaugh & crew off the perch they have stuck firmly up their asses. The world is on to their lies and parlour tricks.

Just take it with a grain of salt. Both sides need to play the media circus and the final result depends on open minds who are willing to communicate, compromise and progress.   You won't do through the boob tube.

Ron Davis - what is your problem? Why on earth are you turning on me instead of trying disagree with my points? Why are you acting like such a bigoted hypocrite when supposedly you are a "progressive". You are far from it. If instead of debating my points you choose to attact me, it merely shows that you lack a point.   

If you really read what I was saying, you would notice that I did not say that Franken and Coulter are "similar", but they work the same jobs and use the same tactics. A fry cook at MacDonalds and a chef at the Four Seasons are both in the restaurant business and follow similar procedures when preparing food. The difference stops there. What I was saying about Franken and Coulter is that they are entertainers who use similar styles to get their points across. Sure there are differences, and I don't think Franken would ever use the derogatory terms that Coulter uses, but he can be brutal in his own style - with the same effect.

I'm sorry if you can't understand that distinction. In your black and white world, there may be no place for "moral relativism" - but understand that is not something to ashamed of. Also understand that peoples philosophies do not fit neatly in the boxes that YOU choose to put them in. If all you are seeing is surface traits and you find a need to label people, then you are far from the liberal that you profess to be.   Use your head.
