wow ...you all are still going on this.
Incapable of carrying on a serious discussion? After being called a troll, DUer, homo, etc. simply for offering constructive criticism of Ann? I didn’t devolve this discussion. I don’t like the idea of implying that every Indian runs a 7/11 (I wonder how many of you ranted against Biden and Billary for that) or provides cell phone services, or grew up as a slumdog. It’s just a dumb stereotype. That’s what I expect from the left...balkanization of groups.
Trent: overreaction by the media (cover of Newsweek and all), but I wouldn’t praise Strom for running on a segregationist ticket.
Horton ad: right on point and not racist.
Jesse Helms: not a racist ad to point out the unfairness of AA.
Yup, and I'll bet yer just pleased as punch with this hornet's nest you stirred up. That was your intention after all, wasn't it?
Incapable of carrying on a serious discussion?
Yup again. To repeat what I said to you: To claim that Coulter's light-hearted one-liner about Jindal (in a long column that nowhere else mentions him) amounts to major damage to the GOP because she is not only "slurring" him, but is also "focusing" the energy of her attacks on Bobby instead of on B.O. does not smack of Trollism to me. It merely smacks of taking an awfully tiny thing, and stretching it so incredibly far that instead of making Coulter look bad, it just makes you look ridiculous and incapable of carrying on a serious discussion.
Still stand by that. And your response to that is: After being called a troll, DUer, homo, etc...... I didn't call you any of those things. But apparently there are Ann Coulter fans here who are just as quick to defend an attack on their hero - posted by you, as you were to defend your hero, Bobby Jindal, from what you (incredulously) believed to be a "slur" attack against him from AC. And this surprises you? And if your attack on her had any substance within it, the response wouldn't have been nearly so much.
I don’t like the idea of implying that every Indian runs a 7/11
Say what? I didn't see this in the Coulter column in question.
(I wonder how many of you ranted against Biden and Billary for that)
Huh again? B & B mentioned Jindal and 7/11's? Dunno what you're referring to.
I'll not call you such things. I will say that you come off as a hysteric. As I reread your initial post, I realize that you most likely have not read the “infamous” passage in Ann Coulter’s book “Godless” referring to the Jersey Girls as “harpies”. You say you “have” a couple of her books but it is clear that you have not read them. (I've got “A Brief History of Time” by Stephen Hawking but it only looks good on the coffee-table to impress my guests. I've never actually READ it). If you had read “Godless” in it's entirety or just the chapter regarding those “harpies”, instead of going off what you saw on tv (Daytime talk shows? Morning shows w/Katie Couric?), I doubt you could come away with the opinion that Ann was wrong. Calling Edwards a a “fag” clearly hurt YOUR feelings. But you dress it up as somehow hurting the Conservative cause. It didn't. It did however embarrass Coulter to no end. After-all, what kind of fag goes on to have a hetero-extra-marital affair that produces a bastard (oops! A love-child) while said fag's spouse (female no less) is dying from cancer? Yeah, she hurt the cause there...{sarc}
It's not hard to understand the vitriol coming at you after such a post as yours. Clearly a position unexamined, with no regard to fact. Just an emotional outburst against someone you don't like (anymore?). Constructive criticism? There's not an ounce in what you posted. In fact, after watching Ann Coulter on CNN’s Larry King, I'd be hard pressed to differentiate you and Joy Behar. Not exactly how you want to come off as credible in Free Republic.
