Oops, that's why I asked. Not for any other reason.
BTW, I love the photo of Coulter with Little Ron.
Ann made her opinion clear on Myers and I think she was right, she was not nice about it but then again being nice about it put Justice Souter on the Court. I don't much care for elitism especially when it comes from those who aren't but I think we probably have more to fear from mediocrity than the strong opinions like those expressed by Ann.
boo-hoo. Yes, HM was a great candidate for Mayor of Austin.
That being the case, they are irresponsible and I agree with you.
Ha! Okay, you got me. Actually, I apologised and asked how to avoid irritating them in the future.
::: crickets ::::
An army of leftists can make comments like Kayne West's, but if just one conservative uses hyperbole, it is taken out of context and used to villify.
We need many more like her. We need to shift the middle of the road back to the middle and get it out of the left ditch.
As for the Meiers nomination, that ended up setting up what was to follow.
Maybe we should ask! ;^)
Nope. :)
I just did a Google news on "whether to impeach or assassinate" and "coulter". No article by Ann came up.
Just to make sure that the Google news search was including her articles I searched for "abortion party" and "coulter" and got all kinds of hits on her articles.
CNN was FOUNDED on false and offensive bile.
She brings facts, perspective, and a different point of view.
Thanks. Considering Brock is emailing his moonbat fans, It wouldn't surprise me if he tossed in some "made up" quotes.
As usual, context is important. Here's the context of that latter quote:
We headed down Fifth Avenue and talked about The New York Times.
I told her I usually read The Times before bed, because it depresses me.
"Oh, it totally gins me up, it works like coffee," she said. "I read it like a wolf."
How about all those very unflattering pictures they like running of conservatives, I asked. "Oh yeah, oh yeah," Ms. Coulter said. "They ran not one but two photos of George Herbert Walker Bush throwing up in Japan. Not one, one was not enough! Two photos of that. Is your tape recorder running? Turn it on! I got something to say."
Then she said: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
I told her to be careful.
"You're right, after 9/11 I shouldn't say that," she said, spotting a cab and grabbing it.
So Ann DID say those things (you can read her books online on some sites, and she admitted she'd made a mistake with the NYT comment, saying "I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.'"). But isn't it interesting how those comments turned awful here right about the time that so many RINOs started pushing Roberts and Miers, and Ann was the lone voice crying in the wilderness that the nominees should be the as-promised proven conservatives, not unknown maybe-Souters. Those who smear Ann for behaving 'atrociously' during the Miers nomination forget that we were ALL here, and we remember who called ALL their GOP brethren who remotely doubted Miers elistist, sexist, and every other dirty name in the book to force Miers through, even though Miers was far less than the nominee conservatives expected when they voted for Bush.
By the way, the oral arguments in Ayotte start today. Roberts gets to finally prove himself in writing in a few months when they decide that case. It sure would be nice to see in black and white that he is a conservative.
If CNN is paying her, maybe Brock should simply ask that they put an "X" over her face. Maybe then he wouldn't look like some kind of PC fascist.
It wasn't in an article. It was in her book High Crimes and Misdemeanors. I ran the same search you did on Yahoo, and got tons of hits. Here's the full quote, apparently:
In this recurring nightmare of a presidency, we have a national debate about whether he 'did it,' even though all sentient people know he did. Otherwise there would be debates only about whether to impeach or assassinate." - Coulter, "High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case against Bill Clinton").
Now you can say its hyperbole, or that she's just being extreme to make a point. But again, if Michael Moore said the same thing about Bush, we'd justifiably go nuts. Or do you disagree?
They have said stuff like that.
CNN is still on the air? I thought they shut down after Wolf Blitzer declared that Bush was leading Kerry in Ohio by 136,000 votes and it was still too close to call.
She's got their number; that's why they're gunning for her.
