It seems to me that in the interests of full disclosure, if you have the links of Ann Coulter stepping out of a limo without having put underpants on first, you should be sharing them with us all. :eek:

Wonder what her penis looks like. I’ll have to agree with Khadaji, I only hear about her here.

Have you prayed on a dunghill for thirty days in sackcloth and ashes? How can you call yourself a conservative, sir!
[QUOTE=Mr. Moto]
I also made clear that I was outraged by it, and that I wasn’t pleased that she was present at the convention in the first place. You either missed that or didn’t really want to see it.

I did miss the “as I am” clause in your fourth post. Sorry about that. In scanning your comments, it really didn’t stand out all that well.
[QUOTE=Mr. Moto]
I don’t buy that association for one second, Miller. There are lots of conservatives around, and for some of them Ann Coulter isn’t on their radar screen at all. Others, like I said, are disgusted by her.
[/quote]
And even more enjoy her enough to make her a best-selling author and highly sought public speaker. You’re asking me to ignore her enormous, objectively verifiable popular success, and take the word of about a half dozen conservatives I’ve met on the internet that she really isn’t very popular at all.
Why on Earth should I do that?
Sure, but not because of what she said. They cut her loose because she threw a fit over being asked to rewrite a column and trashed the magazine’s editorial staff on Politically Incorrect. From this column by Jonah Goldberg:
The flagship journal of conservative opinion didn’t stop carrying her column because they disapproved of politics. They stopped carrying her column because she insulted them in public.
During his speech at the Democratic National Convention, did Al Sharpton say anything anti-Semetic? Did the Democrats applaud him for saying it?

I mean, this wasn’t just some under-medicated harpy ranting in a bus shelter

Well, 10-4 on the bus shelter part anyway.
What more do you expect from Coulter? Her schtick makes her boatloads of money, those groups that invite her know full well what to expect and she delivers. If she thought she could make more money doing it, she’d be insulting the righties. The best thing to do with Coulter is ignore her.
What is it about right-wing commentators and their senses of humor?
Glenn Beck thinks it is funny to sexually harass his guest on national TV. Her response is classic.

I don’t think transgender people want to be used as an insult for Ms. Coulter, or are particularly flattered by the comparison, thank you.
[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan]
Note that I said “most”, not “real”. The SDMB tends to attract a different type of conservative to it than those typically found in the populace at large.

The only conservative Doper I remember defending Coulter was Brutus back in that Want to see Ann Coulter get fucking OWNED on Canadian TV? thread from a couple years ago. Liberal defended her in that one too, but he is completely non-partisan so I’m not sure if he can be called a conservative.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but that is an accurate point. It’s not funny, and it doesn’t matter. Only the hate coming from her shriveled heart matters. I, for one, will no longer make those comparisons. Thank you for you post.

Way outside my editing window, I have a question to add. Where did this “faggot” label come from? I won’t debate the audience’s approval of the remark, but from the sounds of things a large number accepted it. Why?
Thanks in advance for any light you shed on this.

That was less than helpful, but since my mother tried: Thank you.

I can see where you’d be a little embarrassed publicly that people like Coulter and Limbaugh are pundit’s for your party, but that’s what they are.
[/QUOTE]
If conservatives want to continue to take the ride to irrelevancy that they are
currently on and continue to hitch their agendas to the likes of Coulter, Limbaugh,
Hannity et al., then they may go right on ahead doing so. I’ll sit back and watch the
ensuing implosion. [Hmm no popcorn-munching smiley] Guess few conservatives
sit back and consider if the true enemies of their party lie within their own ranks…
This is rich. In a thread about bad things a conservative said, the nice liberals have to police their language of things just as bad or worse.
Now I’ll be the first to admit that the scale of the crimes don’t measure up, given the public impact of the comments involved. Still, I find this hilarious.

Hilarious, avoiding hypocracy. Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to. To each his own.
Yikes. I finally saw the clip. Yikes. She was so very, very pleased with herself. And that was not the sound of an audience repelled by the comment; to the contrary, they were savoring it.
Various Democrats have called for an apology by her and for the Republicans to repudiate what she said. I look forward with great anticipation to how they’ll react.
Well all three of the leading Republican presidential candidates have denounced the comments. Good on them.
I’m interested whether as big a deal will be made about other remarks by a bomb-thrower on the other side, as Bill Maher just made a comment that basically said the world would be a safer place if the assassination attempt against Dick Cheney had succeeded.
Now, I’m not playing any gotcha games here. I’m just saying that if you wait long enough, someone somewhere will say something stupid. And the level to which they reflect a political movement will generally be inflated or deflated according to the bias of the commentator, I’d wager.
