Nah, I’m unemployed at the moment, so I’ve got a whole lotta spare time on my hands.
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.
Tuckerfan, you are my new SDMB hero.
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.
Wheres a good welder when you need one. The wires are temporary.
HEY!
Dont bad moth the Booger!, he’s a Symbol Of Great Power among my People! :D.
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.
One bursts a bubble with a point, not with a rhetorical Nerf ball.
This doesn’t sound like genocide to you?
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.
Don’t ever change.
