Hey, mine was classy. Classical allusion and that stuff.

And when you can point to somebody here making hundreds of thousands of dollars off their comments about Coulter, you’ll have a point. Until then, any implication that posters here are somehow _worse_ than a woman who’s made a living off of doing things like accusing the 9/11 widows of being whiners (or whatever it was) is utter bullshit.

I take a photo of her face and tape it to one of those inflatable sex dolls and then I stab it and stab it! And stab it!

OK, maybe TMI.

Your idea is much better than mine; let’s have the 18 wheeler be a flat bed with a huge operating generator.

Good thing I didn’t say or imply any such thing.

ETA: What Coulter does or doesn’t do is irrelevant to the spectacle of my fellow Dopers fantasizing about ways to kill a woman\*.

\*The set designated “Woman” expanded for this discussion to include Ann Coulter.

You implied that many of the posters here were worse than Coulter because they were making jokes about her jaw being broken. Or did you forget what you said?

What other implications can be drawn from that? That Coulter likes fluffy little puppies?

Yeah. After all what is good in life? Crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you and hearing the lamentations of the Freepers…

Coulter is one of the last human beings on the planet to get sympathy from me.

Pehaps not. I suppose we could call her a cloacasucker. . . .

The usual interpretation of the criticism that selected remarks “say more about [the posters making them] than about [the subject of the posts]” is that the remarks reveal more information about the thinking/attitudes/characters of those who’ve made them than they do regarding the persons/objects/ideas about which they’re posting.

There is no direct comparison being made between the two different sets. The criticism is limited strictly to the first set.

I think she got sucker punched. How can a reasonably normal healthy young person fall and break their jaw. that requires at least an auto accident.

[/QUOTE]

Yes, she does. With ketchup.  
To those claiming this is cruel, that she’s a fellow human being [in spite of the suppression of the DNA evidence] and deserving of respect and sympathy— no, no, no. 99.999% of celebrities with broken jaws, I’d agree, but…  
Coulter is a modern day sideshow geek, a direct descendant of the “entertainers” at sideshows who, lacking any talents or marketable deformities, would bite the heads off of live chickens or eat baby mice in exchange for a livelihood. The difference is that most sideshow geeks got pennies for their work (they were considered the lowest rung on the show biz ladder) and Coulter manages to make millions.

So, she earns millions by making people say “Oh my god, how disgusting!” and gawk at her. We’re gawking, keeping her name in print and giving her free publicity. If anything, we’re doing her a favor by mocking her.

You know the difference between you and a lying sack of shit? A lying sack of shit has more class. You’re going to tell me that after all the threads on this board where people savaged the idiocy spewed out by Coulter (and sometimes on a _weekly_ basis, if she’s on a roll), you honestly thought that no one here would say anything harsh about her? Clearly, if _not_ an attention seeking troll, you are as dumb as the proverbial stump, nor would I be so inclined as to rule out the possibility that you are, in fact, _both._

Coulter and her ilk need to be mocked as often and as ruthlessly as possible.
