Blemonds said:Your point appeared to be that racial slurs by LIBERAL males are acceptable. I can't see any other way to interpret your statement. Maybe you would like to retract it or clarify it.
SpaceProg said:That quote is commonly used against Coulter, but from what I've read, it was taken out of context.
I believe she was speaking as a 'what if' scenario toward the actions of extremist Muslims.
A "What if we acted like they do?" kinda thing.
And even if that wasn't the case... look at the date she made the comment. Hell, I was ****ed off enough to say the same thing too.
Do you think that converting people to Christianity is hateful?BLESSEDBETHEMEEK said:it seems like a very cit and dry statement to me.. tell me how you can take a statement that full of hate and call's for violence out of context?
Around Sept. 11th I was not yet upset, I still was full of deep sadness and sympathy for those who lost their lives, I also suprised on how Americas actions on the world stage could indoctrinate someone with enough hate to die in such a horrific act of suicide and vengence.

#1. I don't follow Ann Coulter, read her columns, or read her books. However, I simply made the point that she's NOT worse than any other bigmouth on the liberal side. Puh-lease do not try and convince me otherwise - it just looks plain silly.We can keep going with the "she said-he's said" stuff & post examples on BOTH sides until the COWS come home.
#2. Just because I answered the OP by pointing out that she has a book on the NY Times bestseller list doesn't mean I bought it myself (or that no liberal has ever had a book on the list, either). Man, let's try and stay MATURE, folks.
#3. I loved how Ann Coulter is an idiot, but yet it's ok for a white, liberal male radio host to get away with calling Condi Rice "an Aunt Jemima" and have that NOT be racist or offensive???? Wow. That one blows me away. Yes, that was indeed in Dane Country. Um, where I live - so shall I find the column for you that an African-American, LIBERAL, woman wrote to the paper following that incident? It regarded that very label he gave to her - there was pure OUTRAGE that he used it at ALL, whether it's "justified" or not. I'm not African-American - so those who are & found it ok (mhatten), or those who are & were outraged (um, another CF person that doesn't post very much. Do you remember who it was, mhatten?) are really the ONLY ones who can give us credible opinions on that one, sir.
Oy, ve.

SpaceProg said:I'm pretty sure that the fundamental extremist Muslim views haven't changed that much against the US, so maybe Coulter's opinion hasn't changed that much against them.
That's all I want to say about that though so as not to drag this thread off topic and into some kind of debate.

Wishing the muslim world a very "merry christmas," by wishing all our countries invaded and that we were all forcibly converted to christianity.
rahma said:Great, so you are placing her on the same level as bin Laden et al? And yet americans still adore her and lap at her feet with praise?
Isn't that what this thread is about?Debating Ann Coulter and the drivel she spews?
No I don't because the Islamic leaders are the ones keeping those people oppressedBLESSEDBETHEMEEK said:do you think that invading a country and killing their leaders is hateful?
Indeed, because we offer a better wayand then turn around and offer them the teachings of the prince of PEACE, and saying "look we are christians.. be like us!"
yeah ok.......
One can be non-PC and controversial without being offensive. Coulter is just mean. I'm simply not going to accept marginalization of her behavior. She hates a lot of people and she lets everyone know precisely how much. I'm not sure how that is to be praised.SpaceProg said:I've read some of Ann's stuff and I agree that she can be a bit scathing to those of different ideologies, but that's part of the charm of her in my opinion. She's not afraid to offend someone by saying what she thinks and not pulling her punches. A trait that is, unfortunately (In my opinion), all but gone in today's PC-oriented media. Reading her stuff is entertaining and at times quite funny.
Do I agree with everything she says? No. But do I think it's good that she ruffles feathers and stirs up thought and controversy with her books and articles? Yes. We need more writers like that on all the hues of the political spectrum. It certainly would get more folks into what goes on politically in this country.
Sometimes all it takes is ****ing people off.

She hates what they stand for, that's for sure. Funny how she is called hateful yet the very people here who have demeaned her are not called hateful also. Is hatefulness OK when directed towards conservatives?Randall McNally said:One can be non-PC and controversial without being offensive. Coulter is just mean.

BLESSEDBETHEMEEK said:hmmmm dont ever remember saying it was ok..Jusat saying it was the only part of the BROADCAST that was used.
To say that only a person of color can speak out or for(?) any racial slur, is doing nothing more than enabling the diffrences between races to be evident and magnified.
that like saying that me being a male I cant tell someone that hitting a woman is wrong because i am not a female and cant make that logical assement?...
We all should no matter our skin tone be passionately against any form of racism or bigotry for that matter.
