Ah, but we have the butter tarts and Nanaimo bars. We shall overcome with caloric overload! The 'Merricans will be too full to move. Then we shall insurge. And just when you’ve become distracted by Celine Dion and Mike Myers, we unleash Avril Levigne upon an unsuspecting world! But I think she, Ann Coulter, is hateful. Even if she’s pandering to an audience predisposed to lap up her vitriol, it’s ugly, and worse, when taken seriously. I welcome intelligent discourse from the right—I’d hate to see opposing points of view from mine silenced. But she does not provide a coherent argument. She’s simply… hateful. ---

> [@John Mace](#): > > Both. If she stripped (no pun intented) away all the vitriol, I’d probably agree with 80% of what she said. There is simply no need for the bombs she throws out there, except to garner herself more attention (read: $$). I figure, you strip away the vitriol, you’d scim off 95% of what she says. So, 80% of the remaining 5% means you would “probably” agree with 4% of what she says, by my math. Nah, I don’t believe it. You’re too smart for that. 😉 ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > That’s bullshit of the purest ray serene. Oh, come on. I know you hate Michael Moore, and I know that most conservatives in general seem to hate Michael Moore. But Coulter has advocated forced conversions of Muslims to Christianity. She has claimed that all those who don’t share her political views are traitors - and she implied they ought to be killed. She promotes the removal of women’s right to vote. And she’s stated that the Emancipation Proclamation oughta be repealed. Is this someone you really want to defend? > [@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. > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors. > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote. > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don’t need any more." Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, "Well, before the New Deal…[The Emancipation Proclamation] would be a good start. And one bonus quote! > [@Ann Coulter](#): > > I have to say I’m all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly. I don’t want to argue on the merits of Michael Moore, but point to one thing he’s said as inflammatory as this. You can enjoy your juvenile “he hates America and he’s evil!” tirades all you like, but he’s never said anything as insane or hate-filled as the average Ann Coulter column. ---

So if the inhabitants of a sovereign country choose to defend themselves against an invading force, they’re evil to do so? Look, I’m glad Saddam’s gone (though I would be gladder if our troops weren’t still getting killed and if the country seemed to be recovering any) but if another country invaded to overthrow our government, you’d do the exact same thing.

You can enjoy your juvenile “he hates America and he’s evil!” tirades all you like, but he’s never said anything as insane or hate-filled as the average Ann Coulter column. This is just the old, familiar “equivalence” game that conservatives like to play. Michael Moore is their chosen “extreme spokesman on the left” that they want to establish as “equivalent” to Ann Coulter, even though he’s not nearly the vitriol-spewing harpie that Coulter is. They used the exact same technique against Kerry – the whole point of the Swifties was to establish Bush and Kerry as “two guys whose Vietnam era service is disputed” rather than a combat veteran who earned medals for bravery and injury vs. an AWOL Texas Air National Guard draft dodger. Works very well with the broadcast-only gucks, not so well online. ---
