Don’t ask me, ask **Ryan**. He seems to have multiple stances on the subject, depending on whose culture is being “uprooted and marginalized.”

This is FUNNY 🙂 All the liberals defending the status quo and a conservative is too edgy, vitriolic, antagonistic, dangerous, bitchy, etc. I understand your pitting her because you don’t like what she sez, but man it really shows peoples true colors. Conservatives and liberals.

You want a slice of Michael Moore’s [incendiary comments](http://www.jperspective.com/2004/07/michael-moore-exposed.html)? If he’s not doing it for the money, he’s an even bigger bastard than AC.

I know that what Michael Moore says makes some people angry. I was aware of that. You still don’t see how _questioning the value of the Emancipation Proclamation_ is pretty big? Because Coulter did that. Hey, right-wingers, step in and shut this guy up because he’s making you guys look worse than even Brutus ever has.

Who’s defending the status quo? What are you talking about - which status quo? I don’t think Ann Coulter is edgy, dangerous, or bitchy, though vitriolic and antagonistic fit her pretty well. Don’t flatter yourselves, RevCo. If Annie there is the closest you guys got to “edgy”, well . . . I indeed don’t like what she says, though. I believe the Emancipation Proclamation was a good idea. I think that women ought to have the right to vote, and no one should feel that they might be killed for their political beliefs. I wish you felt the same way on those issues, because it’s sad to me that some people don’t share that.

Oh nothings wrong with it 🙂 At least I have the balls to actually ask those types of questions though.

Then why did you cite Michael Moore saying pretty much exactly the same thing as an example of something that’s just as objectionable as Anne Coulter’s “convert 'em or kill 'em” stance?

Yeah, that’s something to be _real_ proud of.

What in the hell is with this “(S)he did it toooooooooo!” defense that conservatives are so ungodly fond of? So, suddenly, because Michael Moore (who is a Libertarian, btw) did a hack job on editing, it’s okay for Ann Coulter to lie through her teeth and call it entertainment when it’s questioned? Is that the way it works?

He is many things, all of them fat as hell, but he is no Libertarian. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Heh, your location ain’t much better. But get yourself a copy of _The Divine Comedy_. (Free at Gutenberg Project, I believe.)

So, would you like to answer my question now? Why does it always come to finger pointing and refusing to be accountable for actions? If someone lies about something, does that give you the right to lie?  
You can’t criticize someone for doing something, then laud someone else for doing the exact same thing. I don’t care which side of the fence you come down on; wrong is wrong. If you are going to hold people to a certain set of criteria, you should be able to meet those criteria yourself. Or be prepared to be called a hypocrit.

He’s not a Libertarian, as you claim. Ann makes some good points. Moore does not. You are drawing some sort of stupid comparison where there is none to be made.

Really? So, when Ann Coulter says in her book that conservative women are negatively portrayed, and how you don’t see conservatives talking about liberal women that way (even though she herself is guilty of it), that isn’t a flat out lie?

Okay. Obviously we’re operating in parallel universes.

And, I didn’t ask you if he was a Libertarian. I asked:

Meaning, why is it alright for people who share your political views to do something if someone with opposing political views have done the same thing first?

I have no idea what specific AC quote you are referring to, but disprove it. What liberal women draws the fangs of the conservatives as AC draws the fangs of the liberals? Heck, even Hilary doesn’t get that level of vitriol, and that is about as much as we can muster.
