And typically, such person doesn't have the nuts to say something like that to anyone's face, just like the typical right-winger here at ATPN.

Just goes to show how fscked up your (and I'm sure many other's) observation skills are... where are all these right-wingers around here that embody her... or even like her?

I think she's stupid (and ugly).

The scary thing is, i've heard of older conservatives recoil in horror at these conferences whenever she speaks and uses bigotted language while the younger ones eat it up. This is the future of the conservative movement?

I'm sure YOUR little "observation" is just as spectacular :thumbsdown:

Wow. Where did you get that fact? :roll:



She's a kook, conservatives who associate with her -seriously- are dumbasses, and the Left goes into delirious spasms to paint a bogus conservative mosaic from which to feed their circle-jerk. Moving on...

Not to put too fine a point on it, but SOMEONE buys her books and goes to her speeches and watches her on TV. And, by all accounts, it's a fairly large number of people who do so. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm betting very few of those people voted Democrat in the last election. You might not like her, but a fair number of conservative apparently do. Is it fair to tar all of you with that same brush? I suppose not, but it's hard to feel sorry for a group of people who do the same thing to "the other guys" all the time.

Then end is neigh for Ann...

Basically every major R candidate has dogged her for her comments. Her reaction?
Ms. Coulter, asked for a reaction to the Republican criticism, said in an e-mail message: ?C?mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.?

:roll:

Me thinks she will be asked to STFU for the next two years lest she fall into something equivilent to the Dems version of the Michael Moore level banishment.

What does that sound like? And how do you tell it apart from people clapping because they liked it?

Its the little nuances of listening. It can't be taught only learned.

ASs usual Craig your ass backwards....
You need to listen to the clip which I heard on Talk radio earlier this evening...
The audience was not laughing or cheeering at all!!
It was more like they we astonished that she would even stoop that low...there no way you can call that applause and laughing...

Listen to the clip them comment...thx :D

Then again you bought one of the Tin Foil hats I was selling the other day.....before NotoRious bought the rest...so go figure..lol

They clapped in the video, are you slow?

yeah they clapped because they werew glad this isiot was finished....there is noway you can infer from the few people clapping that they were clapping with approval....sad

You're gonna ride it right off the cliff, eh?
:roll:

:laugh:

This JEDIYoda character is taking the word 'apololgist' to a new level.

personally I am totally embarassed for her and what she has done to her cause which is shall we say to cause trouble for whoever...
She gives all new meaning to the term freedom of speech..lolol

You're probably right. The wacky extremists tend to be a lot more compelling when your ideology is on top, but when you're trying to regain the lead, distancing yourself from the wackjobs is PROBABLY a good idea. Which brings up an interesting point. Now that the Dems have regained a lot of political ground, are we going to see a resurgence on the Michael Moore front (God I hope not)?

I have a feeling that Michael Moore et al will be there... but not taken seriously. I'm sure that they will feel emboldened now that their side is in charge... But the fringe is the fringe no matter what side they try to associate themselves with.

Or so I hope....

considering what she has been getting away with till now, it seems more a matter of timing than anything else.

had she laid that egg late october/early november i'm sure it would have gone over much better with the repub higher ups.

she'll prove more uselful to the repubs then, where whatever trash that can't be said by the repub canidiates will surely come out of the sewer pipe sticking out of her face.

Good lord... she's the right's version of MM or BS... Or Bill Mahr, who recently suggested that it's OK to wish that Cheney had died in that attack. Look at her book sales... she sells a couple hundred thousand copies total... most likley all to the same people. She hasn't been getting away with anything. She's an attention whore who says outlandish crap to get people to notice that she has a new book to sell. That will never change.

The major R candidates who are telling her to STFU right now are more in line with the average conservative than Ann is. Ann is fringe just like Moore is fringe... And Moore uses the same tactics to sell books that Ann does. Of course, he doesn't garner as much negativity in the press as Ann does... But whatever. They're two sides of the same coin and the mainstream of both their political sides view them much the same.

I don't...matter of fact, I expect her boyfriend Matt Lauer should be inviting her to visit the Today Show any day now (and no doubt she'll spew out the same excuse "Hey, it was a joke--jeez the libs are so sensitive!")

Just go take a look at the freepers' discussion threads about it. Not even 1% of the people who post there have in any way criticized her for it. It is almost universally a love fest, as usual.

They seem to like her more than the top 3 Republican Candidates who they call "Rinos"

Almost more disturbing than Coulter's bigoted sentiment, is the fact that the conservative group she was speaking to only hesitated a mere moment before clapping and cheering her on. I guess the conservative audience had to make sure it was okay for them to be bigoted too.

Guilt by association/The Company that You Keep Fallacy. Too many in this thread are clinging to it like velcro. :thumbsdown:

Ann is douche, leave it at that, and stop trying to use the above fallacy against the republican candidates in attendance.

You guys are implying too much.

She was about to say, "I respect John Edwards and the word 'lovely human' is awful and bigoted."

I remember this quote from the thread about John Edwards and the bloggers that were accused of being anti-Christian that worked for him. I asked anyone to show what in the bloggers comments was like the hate speech of the KKK and someone posted this:

one only needs to lay claim to a small amount of common sense to draw a parallel between the hate-filled bigotry present in those blogs and the hate filled language of the KKK.


So, daveymark, you'd agree that Ann is a bigot and by association, so are the members of the Conservative Political Action Conference....


let's extend that strawman by saying that Ann is a member of the human race, and therefore by association, you share her beliefs...

we can cruise down this slippery slope all day long...

*cue unfunny lib response questioning Ann's status as a human (more irony)

I see you ducked the question as you ducked answering about the bloggers comments...

again, a strawman. Next?




I think you need to look up "Irony" "Strawman and "Silly".

It's interesting that Davey apologizes for Ann Coulter by claiming that since the "Ultra Left" (strawmen) calls her "a man" (after the fact, no less!), she's somehow innocent of calling John Edwards a "lovely human".

Then he avoids obvious pwnage by squealing "strawman".


Why anyone would want to defend Coulter in this matter is beyond reason, much less with the utter desparation he shows.

Typical blind partisanship.

:roll:




point out where I stated coulter is innocent of anything, junior. also, point out the "desparation".

>>>Apologizing for her behavior, you infer her innocence. Thanks for the "junior" attempt at insult; however at 45 I find that more of a compliment, but keep searching for the right insult, the Mods love that.

>>>The desperation is in how you over-reach to find a way to excuse Coulter's behavior, much less the fact that no sane person would even choose to.

*crickets*

>>>"crickets" means there is a long period of silence (hence only the sound of crickets). You have to allow that period of time before you use the phrase, or it has no meaning. You don't get it, similar to how you don't get the concept of "irony", or "strawman".


:laugh:

>>>What's so funny? Oh, right you threw out the mis-used "crickets" line, and thought you were being amusing to yourself...good for you, a party of one rolls on the floor.

what's even funnier/more pathetic is that you don't see the irony. Perhaps you might try taking off those lib blinders every once in a while and consider thinking for yourself? The world ain't all about left wing party lines.


>>>As I already stated twice, you can't seem to grasp the concept of irony, or bother looking it up...you really need to learn what the term "irony" means. "Lib blinders"? what does thinking Coulter was way out of line with her comments have to do with "lib-blinders"? Most conservatives would agree with me...Not you.


That said, you still don't seem to be able to fully comprehend the irony of liberals similar to yourself moaning about coulter's verbal offense, while verbally offending themselves. You know, the whole idea of pointing out the speck of sawdust in someone else's eye before observing the plank in yours?

>>> How does this excuse Coulter's calling Edwards a "lovely human"? Even if it were irony (though it's practically the opposite) how does this make it O.K?




Let me try to reduce it down to three simple words, all with less than 2 syllables, so a simple mind might be able to grasp it:

Pot, meet kettle.

>>>Again you are implying that since some liberals in this forum chose to use insulting words to describe Ann Coulter, then it is O.K. that Ann Coulter had previously called John Edwards a lovely human.

ohhhh I get it. John edwards is a bigot for some employees personal blogs but Repubs are exempt from said fallacious argument.

Its politics, logic and reasoning are optional.

The funny thing is She is over the top as a righty but she is just 1 single chic. She is a Nut Job Yes!

On the left you have SO MANY NUTJOBS it is hard to count. Headed by a Nutjob in Governor crazy yeller.

If Libs don't want to recognize they have more of their own Coulter's or that she even uses tatics that are in themselves democratic or that maybe she is a response to everyday liberalism then those are the unreasonable libs. To those who can poke fun at themselves you have a chance to be reasonable and actually be heard by a conservative.

It is hard to be humble.
