Local (Long Island) Dems have words of their own for Coulter
Newsday ^ | June 10, 2006 | Carl MacGowan

House Democrats from Long Island and New York City on Friday joined the chorus of critics slamming Ann Coulter.

The lawmakers signed a letter drafted by Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) demanding that the conservative commentator apologize for saying in her new book that widows of some 9/11 victims are "enjoying" their husbands' deaths. The book refers to the four New Jersey women as "the witches of East Brunswick."

"Their personal loss should never be minimized, especially in such a cold and callous way as you attack these victims in your book," Israel wrote.

Notice how the bashers pick a minor thread from her book and refuse categorically to deal with its major theme. Liberalism is, after all, a theology of godless humanist utopian ideologues. Thanks, Ann. I did not know theology was one of your strong suits.

Hey, what would anybody expect from a person who considers the Bush administration a "train wreck":

"I hope Tony realizes associating with the Titanic of presidental administrations has a myriad of post Bush job jeopardies. He's a smart as well as intelligent guy and has good instincts. Perhaps trying to defend the indefensible, trying to make sense of the nonsensical and trying to put a patina of wisdom on the abject ignorance that flows from the Bush-Cheney duet may be seen by colleagues as a journalistically brave undertaking. He may be the only person to emerge from that train wreck with his reputation and credentials intact."

You're on the wrong forum.

DU is to the left. The far left.

When the MSM starts describing Michael Moore with adjectives such as "nasty", "mean spirited" and "offensive", instead of "controversial", "outspoken", and "thought provoking", then I might be willing to concede that Ann Coulter isn't the nicest person in the world.

But as long as this disgusting double standard exists, I think it's great for conservatives to have someone like Coulter on our side to stir the pot. You can bet that thanks to Ann, the next time the Jersey girls show up on "The View", conservatives in the audience will be emboldened to greet them with the boos and catcalls they've deserved for the past 3 years.

I once temped for a retired USMC Colonel. He would have said the exact same thing. Being upper echelon management, he had many underlings to do the heavy lifting, which left him free for mind games with me. HH's regular "gal" left on a sick leave and never returned. I never met her, but I know what she was sick of, and I didn't blame her one bit. When the alloted time had passed, I was offered this very exclusive position on a permanent basis.
I never laughed so hard or ran so fast in my life.

Being one of the uneducated peons that sees the real and timely need for Ann Coulter's book, I can only say that your critique is neither insightful nor is it relevant, since you are, apparently(I read your bio) always the "smartest guy in the room" and there is very little room to be open to new ideas when you hold that position. WE are going to do it your way, or there will be a massive official snit fit in triplicate. Oh yeah, I remember that tune!

Check out Middie's comments on the Bush administration at post #44, to give you some kind of idea of who you are dealing with.

There are a lot of "seminar posters" here at FR. As is the custom many of them claim to be "life long Republicans."

Their words say otherwise. (Over and over.)

For being a lawyer, your writing is quite poor. Did your wife give you any of Ann's other books? I'm quite surprized that she wouldn't already know your opinion of Ann. Thank you for your thirty years of service to Our Country in the Air Force and God Bless.

Do you think anyone watching The View will even know who the Jersey Broads are? The View is for Sucker Moms who don't have the brainpower for Oprah.

You don't like conservatives who take off the gloves. I admit that Coulter also uses brass nucks. Just like your tribal leaders do and ours don't. But, hey, go get a towel for your bloody nose.

Yes, I did a "one click" purchase.
Now I have to finish Pride & Prejudice, but I don't want to rush that experience, I'm savoring every sentence.
Maybe I should just put it aside and return to it when I finish Ann's book.

I don't give a rat's ass what a group of house democrats say about Anne, about anything.

You got `middie's number, right on! He's a condescending arrogant jerk who lacks the honesty to post as a liberal.

`middie' is the smartest guy in the room; if you don't believe it, just ask him.

Hey `middie': you're nothing about another `seminar caller'. Bet your head's so far up Murtha's a$$ you're suffocating!

Are the Democrats really stupid enough to try to engage Coulter?


YES!
