She's just a father Flanigan in a new wrapper.

The liberal demagogue is back... and he's treating us to his religious roots. Love and godspeed to your faith and religious life, Ron Davies.

Your steadfast determination to insult me and put me down are pheneomenal to witness, and your motives are transparent. You fight dirty, and use passive agressive techniques to appear the winner in what are obvious to most people as ad-hominem B.S.

I think you are *quite* a creep... like the inside joke is on anyone who isn't you... Funny... but when Ann does this, you go pat yourself on the back, never realizing how similar you and she are.

Ann Coulter... reaches a lot of people. It behooves us to figure out why... ESPECIALLY when and if we don't understand (the nice way to say 'hate' in this context) her rants or her propinquity to neo-con sensibilities...

Lot's of the time, I don't agree with her... mostly because she isn't much of a peace maker. She's more of a rable rouser... speaking in an esoteric tounge to an adoring crowd of 'like minded thinkers'.That's O.K. with me, because she's 'sharp as a tack', and she's got convictions that amount to more than 'sexual preference' and 'the normalization of sleaze'. Don't you get it? She's making the jokes...

... and Ron... ...you're the punchline.

I was once like you... and if you smoke next to a ex-smoker... you're probably gonna get an earfull...;^)

More like Father Coughlin.

That's right, Thomas. I quote your own words to you. That's not fair, I admit. It's not reasonable that somebody should have to actually defend what he writes.

She looks like the the end result of a sex change operation.

No, Thomas, it's not Italian. Try again. I'm surprised you haven't heard it before. Poor boy.

Sorry about my typos. I should proofread better--especially if I expect others to do so. Mea culpa (No, Thomas, this does not mean you can assume I'm Catholic, just literate.)

The difference between Al Gore and Ann Coulter is that Al Gore is constrained by a sense of decency and decorum in his comportment; while Ms Coulter does not believes such things make any difference.

The question is whether Al Franken has said anything comparable to Ann Coulter--as far as vicious attacks on the vulnerable--as in the case of her attacks on the widows. I'm still waiting patiently for Coulter apologists--or anybody who alleges "they're both guilty" to provide even one remark which can be seen as evidence that he has done so.

So far, the silence is deafening.

I am pretty sure that is not gonna happen, Ron. They are different classes of human.

I would tend to agree with you, Amos. Then the question becomes why her apologists on Mudcat never seem to think before they hit "send". I suppose we'll never learn that either.

Ouch! Please don't ask me to think, Ron...

Good point, though... Ann's comment about the 9/11 widows was well over the line, and showed us what 'bad humor' is all about. I guess it was part of the 'with us or against us' mentality that prevailed in the administration at the time. Seems the 'hawks' didn't appreciate all the clamoring about that a full investigation into 9/11 promised... in that it would be very distracting to a nation at war. From what I've read, The Jesrsey Gals were essentially the force behind the creation of the 9/11 commission...

My beef is with 'infotainment' in general. It just doesn't make good sense to get one's 'point of view' from entertainers... they are still just sound bytes.

I'd say it's nigh on impossible to get an objective view on the TV. Ann Coulter is just at the really bad end of the spectrum. I'd be interested to hear opinions on English language Al Jazeera. I only saw it a few times before I moved and I can't get it over here. Seemed good to me though. On a par with the BBC quality wise and less obsessed with English Domestic news which isn't all that interesting if you're not living there. Just an opinion mind.

Haven't had a chance to get to this for a while. Interested to note, that, as Amos and I predicted, for some reason nobody--including our more rabid Bushites-- has managed to come up with a remark by Al Franken which compares--in viciousness and in the target--with the attack by dear Ann Coulter on the widows.

So much for "they're both guilty".
