I hate it when conservatives call names and make jokes about the physical appearance of those with whom we disagree, because it distracts from otherwise valid arguments.

I expect that sort of thing from leftists who have no real arguments to make in lieu of insults.

I certainly disagree with Ann Coulter about Thad Cochran, and also about her support of Mitt Romney and her fawning over Chris Christie way back when.

But surely, our side can do better than resorting to junior high school shenanigans when we are supposed to be standing for important principles.

Well said and needed to be said.

The term "Skeletor" also describes the meat of her arguments -- or more specifically, the absence of meat for her arguments.

I rather prefer ridicule as a weapon and your comments won’t change that.

I agree absolutely. It’s so degrading to those who so indulge. And I have to admit that I found the skeletor characterization funny. Mea culpa.

I admit to laughing at ridicule from time to time. But I also remember times when every male here wanted to make it with her.
