"Not having women vote is a joke," she said, reversing comments she has previously made.

What's this about? Some journalist not understanding Coulter's tone or something? I can easily imagine Coulter's satire passing over the heads of journalists. I can't imagine Ann really calling for the end of sufferage.

That's exactly what it is...journalists take everything conservatives say literally and in the worst possible connotation (remember Trent Lott?).

If a liberal says something that anyone with the slightest brainwave activity would find offensive, journalists find that to be 'nuanced' and not worthy of discussing further. This is how that babbling idiot Howard Dean has skated by this long.

In a word: bias.

I think Ann has questioned the wisdom of women's suffrage but even Martin Luther would have got the joke. But you make a great point. This is a news story, a report on Ann's attempt at lecturing at UCONN. Why then does the the great scrivener, Ms. Wong, go back to prior events and writings to bolster her assertion? Why just stop there, at women voting?
Ms. Wong couldn't help editorializing rather than just do the straight reporting gig. She sucks arse.

I can. A few years ago, "The Man Show" set up an on the street bit where they had a petition to end woman's suffrage. They told people things like "hey, these women are sufferaging". People signed it. She's probably referring to that.

Ann didn't reverse anything. Liberals miss nuances like sarcasm when a conservative says something. They take what we say... too literally!

I'd be interested to see the original comments again. It was a long time ago, but as I recall, the remark drew quite a few comments on FR agreeing with the idea, not all of whom were men. It was one of the few times I regretted pointing friends and family to FR.
