Typical Republican. "As long as I get something out of it, then it's okay."

Salon evicted Paris, but then moved Ann back in. This is not progress. This is regress.

Hey, don't paint yourself into a corner or anything. That would be dumb.

"But I think especially because Ann Coulter said nice things about me, I think she's closely approaching that level of being a great American."

I will full grant that Duncan Hunter was making a sad pathetic attempt at humor in this line, but it was so ineptly executed that I'll still rip him a new one over this.

Is it just me or was Liz Edwards trashing Coulter for bringing down the level of discourse in America by siting Coulter's oh-so-clever/edgy "faggot" joke and other junior high cafeteria tactics?

He calls Coulter an articulate speaker, when she is the most ridiculously juvenile hate monger/liberal baiter out there. People do not accuse conservatives of speaking in a mean way, just the deranged harpy Coulter. And it's almost always the Conservatives that are waving their right to free speech around.

Liberal Democrats rarely say anything interesting, inflamatory or forward enough to warrant such justification.

So the bumbling defense of Coulter does nothing but insult actual conservative speakers. He misappropriates the whole use of "free speech" justification, then makes a ridiculously lame joke where in he calls a woman who admits to idolizing Joseph McCarthy a great American because she said nice things about him?!?!?!!

I repeat my initial reaction to this lunatic:

Wobbity-Wobbity

I can see why Duncan Hunter or anybody would want to stay away from a fight with Ann Coulter. Better to say something nice-ish about her, and hope she trains her sights on somebody else.

"Ann Coulter said nice things about me, I think she's closely approaching that level of being a great American"

Translated:

"Notice me America. Any publicity is good publicity for a marginal nutbag like me, right? Hey. Look over here. Stop talking about Mitt's dog. Look at me America...."

Today's Republican's are insane. They all can break out the Mazola and plastic wrap, strip naked and Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Dennis Prager, Michael Savage, Melanie Malkin, Pat Robertson, Trent Lott, Dick Cheney, et. al. can have their 'philosophical love fest'.

so please allow me to share with you the revelation that you are a scum-swilling assclown.

Thanks and hope your poltitical career ends in prison , where you so truly belong.

No one still knows who you are.

once again, the coulter bashers form a polite scrum and display a frightening gnashing of teeth at one another.

Really, what's the point? She's only funny to her audience. They think she's funny becuase she is so very good at baiting the bashers. If the coulter bashers just STFU then her audience would drift away.

Quit empowering her. React with the boredom most people feel.

It is now my personal rule(established last Friday)that anyone who mentions that woman's name owes me $5. It is my hope that through this minor inconvenience you and the other letter writers experience that they will quickly learn not to mention her name, thus eliminating her from the national conciousness. In the meantime, I could also use the pocket money.

That is all.

My friend John Coulter earlier this year got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Ann. She won't be taking his last name. He's mentioned, only half-flippantly, that maybe he should take hers instead.

Or should that be: "Grate"?

Maybe if we all close our eyes, and click our heels together, she'll just disappear!! And while we are at it, we can just wish away things like world hunger, poverty and strife, global climat change, etc. Hey, how about "unhappiness" in general?

If you think that Ann Coulter is going away through some sort of collective "let's ignore her" plan, you are way more naive than you sound. The outrage from the left has never had any effect on her career whatsoever. It is maintained by those who agree with her. She would sell millions of books in a perfect vaccuum as long as there are millions of people who agree with her.

"Osama bin Laden said nice things about me, so he absolved of all wrongdoing in the September 11, 2001 attacks."

"Kim Jong-il said nice things about me, so the United States will now give our full support to the North Korean nuclear weapons program."

"President Putin said nice things about me, so we're handing over our entire nuclear arsenal to Russia."

Everything Hunter said about free speech and liberals trying to silence it was twaddle. The remark about Ann Coulter being a great american was a joke. Not a policy statement or a hint about his world view. It was a common everyday joke. Like when someone tells you you look young and you respond by saying, "Hey! I like this person" as a joke. A Joke. If you try to oversell the importance of this JOKE Coulter has already won.

I'd have to have more context, but I'm pretty sure it was a joke that doesn't translate out of context. Sort of like, "If you touch one more of my cookies, I'm going to kill you."

Another joke that doesn't seem to translate is the one pulled on her by some clever graphic designer on her book cover. It's essentially just a picture of her with the word "Godless" in big bold letters across it. There's no other way to interpret that except to say that the graphic designer is saying that she is the one that is Godless, yet she never even seems to have looked beyond her own image, which she is no doubt narcissistically obsessed with, to see the whole message.

Sad, really, to have to go through life as her.

You empower her by feeding her audience. They are laughing at you more than they laugh at her words. coulter holds a lens to help them focus their attention on you. She needs your outrage because it is your outrage that is so funny. Yes, she will always have an audience because some people agree with her. Most people just like watching her bait liberals. Your reaction is part of the show.

Silly me, why did i even read the letters in this train let alone respond. I'll take my own advise and ignore the coulter war.
