I will apologize to the repug party just as soon as they distance themselves from Coulter. Two chance of that happening. Fat and slim. ---

I’ve long ago tuned out both REEDER and ANN COULTER, but this just re-upped my ire for Coulter and Mr. Carlson. Their amazing ignorance, xenophobia and arrogance just makes me sick that they were chosen as a ‘mouthpiece’ for how Americans feel. blech. I’ve spent many thousands of dollars in Canada. I love that friggin place. ---

What the hell is the matter with them? What is it that Canada has done to draw these miscreants’ ire, aside from existing? Why do these pustules get air time? There was absolutely zero of substantive value in their commentary, once you excise cheap jingoism and French jokes (which must be getting a tad stale now, even among Republicans).

> [@](#): > > COULTER: There is also something called, when you’re allowed to exist on the same continent of the United States of America, protecting you with a nuclear shield around you, you’re polite and you support us when we’ve been attacked on our own soil. They [Canada] violated that protocol. Particularly moronic since we _still_ have troops in Afghanistan. What the fuck is that about? We violated the Coulter Protocol how? I didn’t realize that “being polite” when your allies are attacked meant that in addition to sending troops to help deal with the attackers, you also have to tag along on a totally unrelated and astonishingly ill-advised invasions of third parties. If she comes 'round here I’m going to wash her face in the snow. ---

Coulter and Carlson? Not a big surprise. Like the Devil’s Dictionary put it, war is God’s way of teaching Americans geography. They’re both hacks. Coulter is vile and venomous and I would find it very amusing if her hair was to catch fire the next time she’s on Real Time. Just an amusing little thought. Why is it the thought of Coulter running around beating at her own head to put out a column of flames make me giggle, a lot? Now… **Reeder** : Holding an entire group responsible for the behavior of one member is tribalism at its worst. We’re past that point in our evolution, and it’s time we started acting like it. Don’t condemn Republicans (as differentiated from the Republican leadership) for not shunning her, it’s not their job. Hell, don’t even condemn the Republican leadership unless they’ve actually done anything wrong. Last time I checked neither party maintains an official list of \*\*Those Commentators Who Do Not Speak For Us \*\*. See, when you start thinking fungibly you say outlandishly silly things like > [@Reeder](#): > > As for repugs and Coulter? Brutus is proof positive. **Brutus** is **one man**. One. Singular. One. Tell me how one man becomes proof positive for the entire Republican party, plus those who vote Republican, plus those who are sympathetic to Republican idea, plus those… Come on man, that’s just unbridled ridiculousness, much as this is > [@Brutus](#): > > Why apologize? She does a beautiful job of pissing off you moore-ons and dumbocrats. You guys are like little yapping chihuahuas: The madder you get, the funnier you are. Besides, she is positively angelic compared to the miscreants that you guys drool over. First off, as an American, shouldn’t it infuriate you that Coulter called an entire half of your countrymen traitors for holding their beliefs? Ya know, if you care about truth, honor, dignity, and not just partisan sniping. And, like mah kindergarten teacher always said, two wrong, they aint makin a right. Who exactly is this ‘you’ that you’re talking about? A bunch of Demo, or, Dumbo, er, Dumb-o-crats get together around an old tombstone and fellate Michale Moore while the Dixie Chicks invoke Satan? Yeeeesh. Both of you two are on a time out, go sit in the corner. (By the way, if I join the Dumbocrat party, can I fly too? Because, man, any party led by a flying elephant has got my vote.) ---

The longer you do, the more it shows us how little originality you have in your blind hatred. I think instead of Dummycrats, I’ll just start using the phrase, **Reedercrats**. Seems more fitting. Oh, and **Reeder** , you’re not a Reedercrat, huh? If anyone can show me where at least 5% of your rants are directed against anyone other than the GOP, I’ll try to wrap my head around it.

Gotta wonder when Darwinism is going to take effect on the Malthusian overload of conservative pundits. They’re all over the fucking place! If you qualify as a “wonk”, get together with your friends, both, if they are amenable. Take a shot of tequila for every conservative who has had national exposure in the past month. Hannity, Limbaugh, “Anne of Green Goebbels” Coulter, Mike Savage… Take a huge bong hit for every liberal…Franken, Shields, Begala, the pencil-neck dweeb on _Hannity and His Bitch_… You ain’t gonna be sitting around saying profoundly silly things about metaphysics. You’re gonna be in an ambulance. ---

An idiot with whom I went to college but has become such a raving loon that I told him to quit bothering me with all his crap and then I blocked his email for good measure. He used to forward stuff like this to me and all his contacts in the summer and even write his own diatribes, to the point that I thought he was either insecure in his own position or that he really believed that everyone else in his address book was too stupid to make up their own minds without his constant barrage. He loved Coulter. ---

> [@Reeder](#): > > … > > It’s sad. She would be funny if she had any humor about her. > > Let’s hope her idiotic mindset is not par for the course in the repug party. I wish that was true about Coulter and that dweeby George Will-wannabe Tucker Carlson but open xenophobia deoes seem to be a part of the American right-wing mindset these days. Granted, Bush himself doesn’t publicly advocate such policies. He’ll take diplomatic “make nice” trips to Canada and Europe so he’ll look like a “good American cop” rather than a “bad American cop” like Donald “Old Europe” Rumsfeld. However, within the Bush admininstration, among neo-con policy wonks, and the right-wing ranters in the media, a “Fuck you! We’re America!” attitude and contempt toward anything “foreign” are disturbingly prevalent. Witness such recent books like [this one](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400053153/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/104-6224860-0139114), [this one](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1400053668/ref=pd_sbs_b_2/104-6224860-0139114?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance), [this one](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060580100/ref=pd_sim_b_6/104-6224860-0139114?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance), and [this one](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385512198/ref=pd_sim_b_4/104-6224860-0139114?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance). Or, for an even more relevent example, take a look at [this National Review cover](http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/1102/111802nationalreview.jpg) from 2003. Indeed, the problem with a clown like Coulter is she phrases these arguments so crudely and cartoonishly that nobody can really take her seriously. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t people in power (or people who influence people in power) who do hold such viewpoints. I wonder when Bush finally leaves office whether we’ll have any friends left in the world. ---
