Nah, I’m unemployed at the moment, so I’ve got a whole lotta spare time on my hands. > [@](#): > > And guess what, Tucker - she’s right far more often than you are. Deal with it. Sorry, but advocating genocidal practices is **never** right, and Ms. Coulter has most _certainly_ advocated that. Were she to be “right”, you’d expect her to be supported by more people in the Republican party. Instead, you find most of them furiously trying to distance themselves from her when she opens her trap. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Let’s see - I point out that you and others have no class because of the absolute gutter viciousness of the attacks that have been posted against Ann Coulter. How can a reasonable and reasonably informed person object to “absolute gutter viciousness” against Coulter? That’s just … wrong. That’s wrong. Reap what ye sow, walk a mile in her shoes, whatever; there is no reasonable way to claim sympathy for Coulter when she is accorded disrespect. That’s just silly. ---

> [@Tuckerfan](#): > > Sorry, but advocating genocidal practices is **never** right, and Ms. Coulter has most _certainly_ advocated that. Were she to be “right”, you’d expect her to be supported by more people in the Republican party. Instead, you find most of them furiously trying to distance themselves from her when she opens her trap. Really? What’s wrong about this? It’s right on the money. THE LAST WORD “If Obama wants his detention of Islamic terrorists to be dramatically different from Bush’s Guantanamo, my suggestion is that he cut off – so to speak – the expensive prosthetic limb procedures now being granted the detained terrorists. Far from being sodomized and tortured by U.S. forces – as Obama’s base has wailed for the past seven years – the innocent scholars and philanthropists being held at Guantanamo have been given expensive, high-tech medical procedures at taxpayer expense. If we’re not careful, multitudes of Muslims will be going to fight Americans in Afghanistan just so they can go to Guantanamo and get proper treatment for attention deficit disorder and erectile dysfunction. After being captured fighting with Taliban forces against Americans in 2001, Abdullah Massoud was sent to Guantanamo, where the one-legged terrorist was fitted with a special prosthetic leg, at a cost of $50,000-$75,000 to the U.S. taxpayer. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, Massoud would now be able to park his car bomb in a handicapped parking space! No, you didn’t read that wrong, because the VA won’t pay for your new glasses. I said $75,000. I would have gone with hanging at sunrise, but what do I know? Upon his release in March 2004, Massoud hippity-hopped back to Afghanistan and quickly resumed his war against the U.S. Aided by his new artificial leg, just months later, in October 2004, Massoud masterminded the kidnapping of two Chinese engineers in Pakistan working on the Gomal Zam Dam project. This proved, to me at least, that people with disabilities can do anything they put their minds to. Way to go, you plucky extremist! Massoud said he had nothing against the Chinese but wanted to embarrass Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for cooperating with the Americans. You know, the Americans who had just footed – you should pardon the expression – a $75,000 bill for his prosthetic leg.” --columnist Ann Coulter And just for grins, I did a search for Ann Coulter and genocide. Didn’t find a single place where she advocates genocide. Sorry to bust your bubble, amigo. ---

[This doesn’t sound like genocide to you?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter) > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war. Anyone with an understanding of history knows that forced conversions **don’t** work. The _only_ way you can even _approach_ something like the mass conversion of the Islamic world to Christianity is by killing large numbers of people. As for fitting people at Gitmo with prosthetic limbs, the _only_ crime is that some of them might be getting them faster than our vets. You _do_ realize that under the various conventions of war, we’re _required_ to provide such things. (We won’t even get into the fact that the number of people successfully tried and convicted at Gitmo has been laughably small.) Coulter’s histronics are ravenings about a **non** -issue. Are you do think there’s something _wrong_ with treating prisoners in a civilized manner. ---
