Doug, you are mixing up the stories. Of course people are calling her insensitive for the comments that she made about the 9/11 widows taking advantage of their misery. What Coulter was saying that she could not critize their politics and opinions because they were widows. No one has called her insensitive for critizing their opinino - Coulter has been critized for her statements about their status as widows. She, and everyone else, is free to say that the 9/11 widows are wrong in their stance that the U.S. were not prepared and their views of the adminstrations (plural) is wrong. If she left it at that, there would have been no outcry - other than normal debate. Instead, she took it to the gutter.

Show me where there was complaints if I am wrong.

And no - I do not think anyone should be encouraged to take their life. Stop being silly.

As was pointed out above, I am waiting for her, and DougR, to express their outrage at those "broads" who spoke out in favor of the President's policies and re-election during the campaign, and at the GOP convention. I am waiting for either of them to indicate how much they are enjoying the deaths of their husbands because of the notoriety it brings them.

I will probably wait a long time....

OK, GUEST from 07:35 AM... (This is beginning to sound like "Oh, I once loved a lass who alas loved a lad had a lass loved a lad loved another lass...") I would PM you to continue this conversation in a more streamlined fashion, but oops...I can't do that, as you are A Nonny Mouse.

Anyway. My point. My "yellow-bellied" comment was a riff on your own (again, assuming you are the same GUEST) statement that only cowards resort to personal attacks. As in, Ann Coulter could have easily criticized the widows without kicking up nearly this amount of fuss. She chose, instead, to descend, as Ron O. put it so beautifully, to the gutter instead. By your own logic, this makes her a coward.

And DougR...what a lovely, juicy piece of bait you're dangling before us. Shame I had sushi for lunch today. Better luck next time?

Any sensible person with any humanity knows there's a huge difference between Coulter's vicious, uncalled-for ravings----at the expense of 9-11 widows, yet---and those widows' own statements.

We've seen who has decency, sense, and guts--and who defends Coulter's revolting smears. So we know all we need to know about the people behind each of those postings. So much for Doug R's carefully nurtured image (facade) as a "gentleman", for instance.

This would be a perfect time for the so-called conservatives we have on Mudcat to do a "Sister Souljah" as Clinton did.

DOug:

I think she is deeply troubled -- one would have to be in order to retreat into so false a representation of humanity as she has.

And if she were to commit suicide, because at some point she cracked the window just enough to get a peek at what she hadf been actually doing these last many years, I would be sorry but I would not be surprised.

However, I do not think it is likely to happen while the heat of battle is upon her, and therefore predict she will fade out into a very bitter and old person, unheard of by the general public, and (I expect) quite unhappy with herself.

A different sort of death, possibly.

Wow Ebbie... talk about obscure... And the point you are making is... what, exactly?

Mine is this...

If Ann Coulter was standing on a stage in front of the mudcat... strumming a Martin dreadnaught and singing soulfully about being wronged... she would be sought after and coveted by many here. But because she is on the 'other side' of some imaginary duality, the vociferous 'ad hominem' has become a useful weapon for many of you to use against her as a person. This is hypoctitical and substandard.

Hey, the lady isn't going to win any prizes for being cuddly and heart-warming... and that is our loss as well as her's... with her writing. But all you know of her is from her 'day job' as a political writer and provocateur... Stick to the issues, and agree or disagree with her... or lose by default, in a fit of reaction that is beneath all of us.

She proves to us again and again, that we'd rather react than think... and we feel compelled to toe the 'party line' withhout breaking ranks instead of questioning our motives for doing so.

Just like here at mudcat, the lesson is constantly renewed... Don't Feed the Flames.

Sought after and coveted? Not by me, Rhymer. And just what is this imaginary duality you are on about? Not so imaginary, in my opinion. Here's the duality I see:

The "Jersey Girls" called for an investigation of the events leading to the tragedy that took their husbands' lives. They then (in disillusionment over an administration that used the tragedy to further their military and political ends) had the temerity to question the administration's handling of its aftermath, and (horrors!) to support the opposing candidate. (In Jon Stewart's unfailingly hilarious words: "How DARE the Democrats field a candidate? And in an ELECTION YEAR?!?!?!?!?!?"...*LOL*)

VS:

Ann Coulter, in the midst of what could have been a valid point (whether or not I agree with it, I see what she was saying) chose to use vicious, libelous language and sink to gutter-trash-talking, all in hopes of boosting her book sales. And you are accusing *us* of ad hominem attacks?

If Ann Coulter was standing in front of the Mudcat with a Martin dreadnought (though I see her more as an Ovation gal myself...cheap and plastic...how's that for ad hominem?) and sang a song with the lyrics, "Those Jersey Girls, yeah, don't you know they'd better spread it in Playboy, yeah, because their shelf life is going down, down, down the tubes..." I'd boo her off the stage. For bad writing just as much as the sentiments. ;)

Suicide? That would be a bit harsh. Perhaps a frustrated embittered spinsterhood. And impoverished--perhaps after a successful suit by one of the 9-11 widows. Now that would be poetic justice for dear Ann. Unlikely--but we can dream.

And something similar for anybody who defends her remarks about the widows.

Anybody who wanted to avoid such a fate could easily do so--by the simple expedient of CLEARLY condemning her remarks--with no hedging about how she was partially justified.

She was not justified in the least.

I don't think Ann Coulter actually writes her own books. IMHO, she may be one of many figureheads behind which Cheney and Rumsfeld (and the people they work for) operate. She is a lawyer arguing a case. Fixating on the council is just plain foolishness.

Step back for a momment. The severity of Ann's personal 'ad hominem' attacks is bordering on desperate... and she's no housewife. The 'Jersey Gals' are posing a tangible threat to the administration by persisting in their persuit for clarity and verification... and consequentially, they are kicking up the dust in some pretty dark 'Neo-Con' corners the way no one else can.

"...they should just take thier settlement money and shut up about it... " (or something similar)... Has an unmistakeable tone don'tchathink?

So .... in your considered opinion then, cunt is a perjorative for what? A sexist perjorative for a female? I despise this woman's comments, but I am disgusted by your use of this term. It is akin to the "N" word.

Subject: RE: BS: Ann Coulter scrapes bottom
From: GUEST
Date: 13 Jun 06 - 01:21 PM

Cunt is an English word that refers to the human female genitalia, continuing Proto-Germanic *kunton. It is considered by some to be the most offensive word in the English language[1]. Some reject this exclusively negative connotation as inherently sexist towards women, and claim that insult is an inappropriate use for word which once meant respect for women. In general English usage, the Latin term vulva (or, less accurately, vagina) is considered to be much more polite. The earliest citation of the word in the Oxford English Dictionary is a reference to the London street name "Gropecunt Lane" dated to about 1230. The Germanic word was possibly influenced by Latin cunnus.

Like many vulgar words, cunt owes some of its potency to its phonetic characteristics. Its monosyllabic nature, combined with the hard k sound at the beginning and the sharp t at the end make it well-suited for use as an epithet or interjection.

In non-amorous situations, "cunt" is primarily used as a term of personal abuse, generally considered the most offensive description of either a man or (especially) a woman. In English, it implies that the named person is extremely nasty and unpleasant in a way that far exceeds the vehemence of the word "bitch," for example. In the film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, for instance, the central character McMurphy, when pressed to explain exactly why he doesn't like the tyrannical Nurse Ratched, says: "She's something of a cunt, ain't she?"

In England, "cunt" is also considered a foul and insulting word by many, but it is used by and about men more often than women. In Australia, and to a lesser extent England, while still being considered highly offensive in most contexts, the word is also often used and received more gently, to the extent that in some situations it has a comedic quality and can even be used as a term of affection. During foreplay and/or sex, men and women alike may be excited by using the word "cunt" to refer to female genitalia. This is probably due, in part, to its phonetic potency (see above) and its perceived "dirtiness."

Ann Coulter has sold well over 1 million books.   This will be her best selling book ever and put her closer to 2 millions books sold.   How many political authors have sold 2 million books?

Over the top insensitive remarks- How about Howard Deam "I hate republicans" "republicans have never worked an honest day in their lives" or Louis Farakan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Micaal Moore, Al Franken, Randy Rhodes, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, or Jerry Springer (to name a few)   I have yet to see any mudcat criticism.

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, and most republican leaders have been referred to as Hitler by Democrats.   Name a republican who has called a democratic leader Hitler.   A collumnist suggested Clarence Thomas eat bacon and die of a heart attack.   A cartoon showed Bush pushing an old lady out of a wheelchair.   An NAACP ad accused repuplicans of lyning black people.

All of this is standard practice for liberals.    When you can't debate Coulter in the arena of ideas throw a pie in her face, or at Howowitz, or moon rumsfield.    Show your true intellectual property of a 5 year old.

The biggest difference between Coulter and Moore (aside from 400 pounds) is that Coulter tells the truth and documents it while Moore lies and makes things up and has been caught over and over.

Earth to Ron:   Before you proclaim conservatism dead and Coulters "days are numbered" you may want to look at Amazon or the NY Times best seller lists.   Her book was number one pushing Russert off the top.   Maybe that is what is really pissing the media off. I predict this book will sell over 400,000 copies.   Maybe 500,000 with all the free publicity you liberals are giving it.

She's an absolutist, sees things only in terms of black and white, and in general, has the soul, but not the guts of a concentration camp director. So she runs her mouth.

Thomas--

I am a Republican--but one who thinks--as a result, perhaps a rare breed.

Please try doing some research--for once-- before you favor us with yet another of your wonderfully imaginative conspiracy theories. Would you mind coming up with some actual evidence that Cheney and Rumsfeld etc. operate through Ann? I'll be waiting for it--though, based on your track record, not with much hope.

Ann has made a lot of money--for herself--by being outrageous--similar to Michael Moore on the Left--as has already been pointed out.

I'm aware that we can't require much from you--after all, your only claim is to be a "Rhymer". However, if you choose to participate in a political discussion, a little sense and logic might be in order. Conspiracy theories are often the last refuge--or even first resort--of somebody who can't be bothered to think.

If you "like her", that makes you even more of a fuzzy thinker than some of the other giant intellects we are honored to have here--on both the Right and the Left. Not that anybody would want to criticize your taste, you understand.

And, if you would be so good, please spare us your meaningless warmed-over 60's tripe about "hating the world only makes it worse." Are you really not capable of discerning the difference between hating the world and criticizing one harpy?

There is absolutely no excuse for her latest spewings about the 9-11 widows. If you think there is, you need to do a little soul-searching.

It's only too bad that a libel or slander suit against Ann might well be costly and unsuccessful.

"Same shoes, different feet". Sure sounds like moral relativism to me--and you have a record of that.

We might possibly not really need your instruction in how agitprop works. We might already know.

You were doing fine when you clearly opposed Ann--earlier in the thread. But please don't tell Mudcatters to ignore her--we're not about to buy her pathetic screeds--and we're just calling attention to her despicable conduct regarding the widows.   Somehow what we say on Mudcat is not likely to resonate elsewhere--life's just so terribly unfair. But we've managed to come to terms with our, to say the least, limited, clout. However, telling Mudcatters not to vent is not good tactics--you may get a response you consider an overreaction--in fact you recently did.

"However, telling Mudcatters not to vent is not good tactics--you may get a response you consider an overreaction--in fact you recently did."

Ron Davies - I am not sure what you are reading into my posts. Actually I did not tell anyone not to vent. When I say to "ignore her", I am speaking in terms of the public not reading her columns, buying her books, or watching her guest appearances on TV. As long as she is "selling", she will have a forum. When she becomes as relevant as Morton Downey, she will disappear.   

I don't advocate censorship or blacklisting, but I do feel that boycotting is another story. People speak with their vote and their pocketbook (in certain parts of the country that is the same thing.)

As to moral relativism, I never was big on philosphy or labels. I could not stand Ayn Rand because I do not believe in absolutes. I reserve the right to look for reason.

I enjoy healthy debate, and as long as we stay on subject and not get personal I don't consider ourselves to be having a "dispute".

Just another successful mental case who spews the kind of low life rubbish that non thinkers like.
