Then her rip-job on the widows has served its objective. (making lots of $$$)
Misson Accomplished!

"Again, I've come to EXPECT this type of thing from liberals "

Expect but not accept.
I give as much as I get, especially when they are 4 nasty harpies from Joisey..
They deserve everything they are getting.

it's great , you're going to love it .
Play it around any lib friends ;^)

Ann is carrying the guide-on these days because our elected officials clearly do not have the sac to stand for anything at all.

They are a disgrace.

They are all in for a rude awakening when she finally decides to focus in on those scoundrels.

Meanwhile, back at the rant, you can buy into the left wing crazy criticism of Ann Coulter if you want.

She is drawing a line in the sand, and people are going to be choosing sides.

This is serious business, and besides the money making aspect of it all....our kids and their futures are at stake in all of this.

Ann is not lying. She is nailing this stuff, our societal issues... Dead on.

"Expect but not accept.

Sometimes the worst punishment a person can receive is to simply be ignored.
Now these women are going to get another 15 minutes...and don't think they won't use it to their full advantage with the MSM drooling at their every word.

Again, I've come to EXPECT this type of thing from liberals because their ideas have been defeated. The only weapon they have is cheap shots and smear tactics.

We have come to expect it from liberals because so many of them practice it. Ann's strong suite is that she does it better than they, funnier than they, and she is demonstrably smarter than they. Plus, she is virtually the only one of any stature on our side that does it. I love to see them beaten so handily and so easily, at their own game, by someone who appears to be so fragile. Ann Coulter is an American Icon.

"Now these women are going to get another 15 minutes...and don't think they won't use it to their full advantage with the MSM drooling at their every word"

Doesn't bother me.
They can't get more attention from the MSM than Psycho Sheehan did and does, and the more she opened her mouth, the more she turned off the American public.
"Mother" Sheehan is great FOR the Republican Party.

You mean, a Twofer?

What a great video! I love it... Thanks!

"Ann is carrying the guide-on these days because our elected officials clearly do not have the sac to stand for anything at all."

I agree our elected officials are whimps, but I think this description of Ann being our savior is exaggerated.

"They are all in for a rude awakening when she finally decides to focus in on those scoundrels."

Or...people could get sick of her by the time she does this.

"Meanwhile, back at the rant, you can buy into the left wing crazy criticism of Ann Coulter if you want."

I'm not buying into left wing criticism. I think she is probably right in her opinion - I just don't care for the way she expressed it. There is a difference.

"She is drawing a line in the sand, and people are going to be choosing sides"

My guess is people have already chosen sides and calling people harpies isn't going to win any converts.

"This is serious business, and besides the money making aspect of it all....our kids and their futures are at stake in all of this."

Despite my admiration for her intelligence and her whit, I never did consider her a major factor in my childrens' future.

"Ann is not lying. She is nailing this stuff, our societal issues... Dead on."

I'm sure you are right about that.

I agree she is funnier and smarter.
Maybe it's just a matter of personal preference.
I don't find the harpy thing very funny at all.
I didn't find her rebuttal to Hillary very funny.
It was certainly true - but at the same time I thought it was over the top and - not funny.

Oh well...I guess I've pretty much said all I can say on the matter.
Good night folks.

What I appreciate most is that she nails the substance of the left to the wall without mincing words. The left has nothing coherent with which to refute her substance, but can only indulge apoplectic blubbering about her "meanness." If there is any meanness it is embraced and practiced by the ideologies and policies of the left. They deserve all the scorn and ridicule she heaps upon them, and Moore.

That said, there is a time and place for everything, including a less acerbic choice of words. In Ann's case, however, she is simply excellent at what she does. She is a breath of fresh air in a world full of folks too afraid to speak their mind, bluffed into silence by the mealymouthed, wishy washy ways of political correctness.

In the book, the object of Ann's remarks about the "widows" is to point out how the left has used a parade of tragedy-challenged groups, or individuals, to make their arguments. They think because these people have suffered a tragedy, the right cannot, legitimately, rebut their statements. I am sorry, but I agree with Ann.

When individuals, for whatever reason, attempt to use their status as bereaved to make insulting, untrue, even traitorous statements, they lose that protected status. They cannot throw verbal bombs and then run and hide behind their bereavement.....

[DocRock]

Her closing comment sums it up nicely.

[ronnieb]

Ann, has tapped into and given voice to the growing irritation at victims being spokespersons, it is, as Ann said, the left's way of stifling debate. The support Ann gets on this issue is a reflection of how rarely conservatives see one of their own go head to head toe to toe. It is way too rare.

[Fester Chugabrew]

The fact the four harpies are getting more attention is not so much Ann's fault as that of the MSM who are essentially making Ann's point for her: "You cannot question our ideas because we are widows." "We are experts in foreign policy because we are widows." "Your book has nothing of substance to say because you attack widows."

The liberal Doctrine of Infallibility once again on display.

[singfreedom]

Your tagline is absolutely precious---and so true!
:^)

[Wycowboy]

I didn't find her rebuttal to Hillary very funny.

I thought it was hilarious, and I thought it was a lot more reserved than it could have been.

I really take issue with the Hillary types who have such an exaggerated opinion of themselves. A total crook and shyster, yet she feels qualified, even driven, to lecture conservatives about moral issues. She deserves worse than Ann gave her.

I understand why you feel the way you do and I don't think you are wrong to think that way. I just want you to understand that some of us see these Ann episodes as the good guy giving a much deserved butt kicking to the bullies, and doing it with style.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

[singfreedom]

Wasn't that a great explanation?!! Great post, rlmorel.
