Good suggestion. Base your voting preference on the moronic rants of one person. Ann Coulter is an idiot. The libs have them too.

Just to point out the boringly obvious, Coulter is not a spokesperson for the Republican party.

She gets booked on TV talkshows because she's guaranteed to say something controversial and controversy is good for TV ratings.

Hey, Les, why don't we just call each other assholes and get it over with. - Somebody on the old Southknoxbubba.net (if that was you, claim your quote and win net.fame!)

A little pedantic don't you think, Uncle?

We all put it in perspective. I don't think I would compare Franken or McKinney or kos to Coulter, but I'm not a Libertarian. What don't you like about Al? I haven't seen him on CNNMSNBCFOX in a while, but maybe I haven't been watching. He's easier on the eyes as well.

Yeah, that guy's an Omnipresent Media Juggernaut.

Watch this. It'll blow yer mind.

She posted the home addresses and contact info of the Students Against War kids online in an "enemies list" she used to encourage their harrassment, and then cried like a baby when some bloggers did the same thing to her. Apparently we were all supposed to be mindful of the fact that she has young children, despite the fact that she showed no such courtesy to the folks she harrassed.

Let's see. As Axel mentioned, "hypocrite" ought to be her middle name. In a cursory web search I found a few gems like this one: "Despite being born in the US to parents visiting on a work visa, Malkin is outspoken in opposition to the granting of automatic U.S. citizenship to babies born to tourists and temporary workers (so-called "anchor babies"), saying, "Citizenship is too precious to squander on accidental Americans in Name Only." Malkin articulated her position on "anchor babies" with regards to the case of Yaser Esam Hamdi, an American citizen born to Saudi parents who were working in the United States on temporary work visas."

Furthermore, I think many on the left would like to hold rank and file Republicans responsible in general for just who does speak for them. Coulter, Malkin and their ilk would cause nary a ripple if the current Republican Administration weren't trying hell bent for leather to absolutely annihilate any expectation Americans once had of truthfulness from their government, or accountability, or even consistency. Coulter, et al are merely the faces and voices for a lot of the shrillness and mean-spiritedness coming out of official Washington these days, so many on the left feel they're the utter personifications of what the Republicans are about these days.

Sure, I think Republicans should be made to answer for Coulter, because a lot of what she says is the logical extension of many of their official policies. Many believe she's actually sent out by Mehlman to float outrageous trial balloons, so then when the Republicans choose to move forward with some absurdly cruel or shortsighted piece of legislation, the journalist class goes right along with it.

Hey, somebody has to play stalking horse for their apocalyptic vision of America.

Gee, great comparisons Les. Kudos for doing Uncle's job for him.

Let's see, Moore says Americans are embarrassing. Coulter says McVeigh should have been in New York instead of Oklahoma (many Americans were killed). Moore said the motivation for war was financial. Coulter says we should kill the leaders of other countries. Moore says Iraqis are in a revolution. Coulter says liberals are traitors always against America.

If you were stuck on a desert island, who would you rather be with?

Michael Moore

Ann Coulter

I would swim for it

Thanks to that masterful rant, I pretty much got nothin'. Except that the percentage of women in the TN state House/Senate is 17%, not 14. (Other phun phacts: TN has not once elected a non-white or non-male as U.S. Senator or Governor, and has only sent five women to Congress ever...only three since the 50s. One of 'em is Marsha Blackburn, who is hardly a shining beacon heralding the progress of women, or of humanity, for that matter.)

OK, actually, on re-read I've got something:

Go drive down Judge Perez in St. Bernard Parish and then you come back and lecture me about empty politics.

I've often remarked that if Bill Clinton had been President on 9/11, he'd have been standing on that smoking ruin with a shovel, as opposed to hiding in a bunker for FIVE DAYS before showing up in NYC to survey the damage. And yet we're all supposed to hyperventilate over the swaggering manliness of George Bush, chickenhawk extraordinaire, whose ilk never saw a draft deferment it didn't love.

If Bill Clinton had been President in August of 2005, he'd've been in Louisiana with a bucket. Say of him what you will about his moral, personal, and yes, even managerial failings, but I'd hazard were he President today we wouldn't be pouring greenbacks down an endless gaping maw entitled "Vietnam, Part 2," while a major American city is left to ruin as another hurricane season bears down. Better hope it's not your neighborhood that gets hit by a disaster next time, since apparently American taxpayers can no longer depend on help from their government in the event of an emergency.

How DARE George Bush get up there and grandstand on national security when he has left this nation essentially completely unprotected, in his endless quest to bankrupt us all while he pursues the nation-building he swore to forego during the 2000 election? And now North Korea's firing off nuclear weapons willy-nilly, while the BushCo management team is standing around flat-footed despite years of warning that this eventuality would come to pass.

And you characterize Democrats as shortsighted, hypocritical and weak-kneed.

Man. That's rich.
