Al Gore Personifies Liberal Disloyalty To America
Al Gore's recent, outlandish remarks to a Saudi audience not only represent his own scorn for the United States, they are also reflective of this country's liberal establishment. In short, the overriding sentiment of the left towards America is one of complete contempt....

How Do You Solve a Problem Like...Ann Coulter?
The latest Ann Coulter brouhaha is over her crude characterization of Muslims as "ragheads" during an enthusiastically received speech at a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on February 10, 2006. "I think our motto should be post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences," Ms. Coulter opined....

Do not call the Islamists 'rag heads'. The article they wear is actually more of a sheet than a rag. SO please call them 'sheet heads'.

Thank you.

Screw this PC claptrap. I call the islamofacists alot worse than ragheads. They are fetid piles of sh*t who will rot in hell when we put a bullet thru their skulls and they find out that Mohammed was really a lying charaltan and 72 virgins all look like Helen Thomas.

He's right. "Ragehad" is offensive.

I suggest we start calling them "third-world-sh*thole-dwelling-camel-humping-wife-beating-child-molesting-flag-burning-shoe-waving-fly-swatting-smelly-a*s-rat-bastards".

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but it is slightly more accurate and descriptive than "raghead".

Just because Muslims killed thousands of innocent people during 9/11 and blow up children on a daily basis is no reason to hurt their feelings with name calling. I'm shocked.

Ann says what everybody is thinking anyway. Naturally that makes her a lightening rod for PC criticism, but I'm glad she takes the heat. I think it at least provides a little "push back" against the PC tide.

Steven M. Warshawsky's "In Defense of Ann Counter" is a well-meant, but misguided attempt to rally conservatives automatically behind Ann Coulter, even when she goes too far.

When did she do that?

Call 'em as you see 'em Ann!

These people get all wanked out of shape for Coulter calling arabs "ragheads", but they've got no problem with Democrats calling the Bush a murderer.

I could care less what they think, I like Coulter. She perhaps turns off a few moderates that we might get to vote for us otherwise, but who cares? Coulter is entertaining, end of story.

Sorry, but Ann, who is usually spot-on, and 'wickedly funny' as the article avers, blew it big-time with the 'raghead' comment.

The problem is 'raghead' is a general purpose perjorative for men from turban-wearing cultures. The pre-eminent turban-wearers are the Sikhs, who have suffered more dead at the hands of Islam than America has.

I'm favoring "Mohammedans" as the thing to call Muslims--it's accurate, and
angers them by pointing to the fact they follow a man, while they claim to submit to God. It also has a long tradition of use: Churchill's notable frenzy and fatalism description of Islam calls them Mohammedans.

Ms. Coulter usually makes the conservative case with principle and passion, in a memorable, often wickedly funny way. But sometimes she is thoughtless instead of thoughtful, in her zeal.

It's called "collateral damage."

DEAL WITH IT!

Boy, the Dems can dish it out but they sure can't take it. I agree that Ann is sometimes an over the top bomb thrower, but she learned it from the left side of the aisle. What makes Ann noticable is that she is really the only National conservative commentator who has this go for the jugular approach. Virtually EVERY democratic commentator uses this approach and much, much worse. I rarely read a liberal editorial that doesn't consist merely of the most vile insults imaginable at President Bush and all conservatives. That's all the Dems have at this point. Before he goes throwing stones at Ann, I think the author should work on cleaning up his own house.

Anne's great comment on the V-P:

"Cheney is my ideal man. Because he's solid. He's funny. He's very handsome. He was a football player. People don't think about him as the glamour type because he's a serious person, he wears glasses, he's lost his hair. But he's a very handsome man. And you cannot imagine him losing his temper, which I find extremely sexy. Men who get upset and lose their tempers and claim to be sensitive males: talk about girly boys. No, there's a reason hurricanes are named after women and homosexual men, it's one of our little methods of social control. We're supposed to fly off the handle. "

"Ann Coulter, even when she goes too far"

I never read her "going too far". When it comes to excess, the Demoncrat Senators have the market cornered.

Let's face it, the conservative movement's pundits are generally prudes. Ann stands out because she is not a prude. She fights fire with fire. The debate rhetoric of most conservative pundits can be likened to liberals attempts to treat foreign transnational terrorists legalistically, rather than as a military objective.

Besides, I prefer "camel jocks" to "ragheads."

Just my personal preference.

And insulting the very people who can be most helpful to us in the War on Terror (genuinely religious Moslems)

BS Meter is Off the Charts.......

The folks who can be the most useful are boys from the heartland with firepower and well defined targets.
