At least according to Ann Coulter.
Has Ms. Coulter hit a new low? I wonder how Ms. Coulter would feel if she or a family memeber or a friend was date raped? Would she still feel it was not “real” rape? I hope she never has to find out, but what a fucking psycho-asshole. I don’t understand how she could say something like this. And the sad thing is a lot of people in this country will read this and think “Right on Ann.” Is her new book a best seller yet?

Well, you know, if she let him start and then said “no,” or if she had a beer, or if she invited him up to her room, then that’s her own fault for being a cock-blocking bitch.
:smack: :rolleyes: :wally
Every time I see Ann Coulter’s face, I want to slap the bitch like Ike Turner. Is that wrong of me?
We are, of course, talking about Ann Coulter – the person who singlehandedly moved trolling from the Internet to print media.
Therefore, nothing she says is (a) surprising, that it’s coming from her pen, or (b) believable.
Fuckin’ A.
My Psycho-Meter just broke.

Her comment is hardly the main thesis of her paragraph.
I think there is a valid distinction to be made between date rape and stranger rape. However, I certainly agree that both are “real” rape.
Number six on the NYT best seller list, I think.
The fact that Coulter can still find an audience speaks volumes about how low American conservatives have sank.
How’d you think to ask such an off the wall question? Isn’t the answer obvious?
And to think in 1990 I honestly believed Rush appealed to the very lowest common denominator.
I’m fucking tired of agreeing with Bricker all day. Upon reading the article, I think the argument that people who use rape as a tool of government should be beaten about the head is asomewhat laudable position. The rest of the article is mildly entertaining, as usual. (Oily Jew, anyone?)
The distinction between date rape and stranger rape is the same as between familial kidnappings and stranger kidnappings. One is statistically insignificant and gets all the attention. The other is a pervasive societal ill. I don’t think Ann Coulter using a metaphor will tip the scales.
Am I allowed to giggle at “Coalition of the Fabulous?” Or will they take away my toaster?
Violence is not the answer. I’d rather see her named by her beloved President to a post befitting her abilities – Ambassador to Oman, for example.
I don’t know much about dear Ann (most of it is from this site) but she sounds nasty. Interesting how a collection of relatively bright people all seem to agree she is nuts…
Ann Coulter was on the O’Reilly Factor last week sometime. I watched it. I don’t know why. I never watch the O’Reilly Factor. Honest.
Anyway, Ann expressed annoyance when her views or herself weren’t being talked about. (I really wish I could find a transcript because…) her comments were pretty much saying that she loves to troll and doesn’t like it when her trolling goes unnoticed.
Coulter shoved her foot in her mouth on this one, eh?
Speculation: Maybe she was referring to instances of two drunken people hooking up and then later when they sober up the woman realizes this was a mistake and feels she was raped rather than the actual use-of-force type of date rape, or the drugging someone without their knowledge type.
Now, if she was referring to the former kind, she’s a goddamn idiot to have said ‘date rape’. If she was referring to the latter and calling it a fraud, she needs to be mule-kicked.
Read most of her stuff, and now whenever I see ‘Ann Coulter’ preceding anything, I just stop reading right then and there…
This doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary for her.
So?
She still implies that date rape is not real rape. Is a wrong statement somehow less wrong if it’s parenthetical? Does that make an offensive statement less offensive?
But mules are out this year!
(Heh.)
I’m sure a ‘real’ rape victim would tell her there’s no difference.
This ‘real’ rape victim doesn’t see much of a difference between being forced by someone you know or forced by someone you don’t know. Either way, you’re still being forced.

Yes, actually, it does.
Funny you should mention that, at my local Books-A-Million they’ve slapped the normal “30% off!” sticker on her book, except it’s right on her face. And it’s not just a fluke. Most other books have the sticker in a standard place, but on the book it’s out of place, and every single book has it.
