COULTER SPOTTED FOX IN THE HENHOUSE The Liberal “Doctrine Of Infallibility”: Redux October 25, 2006 You have to hand it to Ann Coulter...when she depanties disingenuous liberal hypocrisy; nothing is left to the imagination. In chapter five of her bestseller, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Coulter lays out the liberal “Doctrine of Infallibility”. As Coulter explains it, “Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we’re (Conservatives) not allowed to reply to”. Coulter continues that, “All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with ‘absolute moral authority’—Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child...a terminal illness....” And so, after the death of famed liberal stem cell research expert Christopher Reeve, Spin City’s Michael J. Fox became the infallible Hollywood twit-turned-academician propagandist to lead the liberals’ embryonic stem cell disinformation campaign. Like Reeve, Fox can lie but Conservatives can’t tell the truth because the liar is an infallible “victim”. And along came Limbaugh. Oh, that horrible Rush Limbaugh. In Rush’s own words, he will be accused of prosecuting “a slashing attack by...an incentive, cold-hearted, cruel boob who has no sympathy for people who suffer from ravages of Parkinson's”, because he dared to suggest that Michael J. Fox may have given a fortissimo performance in the political ad that Fox made for Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill. And Limbaugh is correct. In their rush to judgment, the mainstream media has abandoned fact-checking and truth (as if there is anything new about that). It doesn’t matter that Fox misrepresented and distorted the facts in his made-for-TV Democratic ads. It doesn’t matter that Fox is a blatant liar. All that matters to the liberals is that Limbaugh dared to suggest that Fox included performance distortion in his repertoire of lies on behalf of the Democrats use of disease as a campaign tool. When Fox makes the claim that Missouri Senator Jim Talent “...even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance for hope” Fox (and apparently the entire deaf, dumb and blind MSM) failed to note that what Senator Talent is opposed to is Missouri Amendment 2 which would legalize cloning. As Limbaugh’s research points out, “Amendment 2 is misleading in that it appears to put stem cell research in the Constitution and to ban human cloning, but the fine print creates a right to do somatic cell nuclear transfer, cloning, which is the scientific term for cloning, the same method used to clone Dolly the sheep”. But Fox is a victim, and even if his message is a lie, he can’t possible be called a liar. His message is video pathos and the truth be damned. He is “infallible” because he is a “victim” of Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s is a disease as is drug addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) makes no bones about it when they categorically state that “The fact is, drug addiction is a brain disease.” And as such, at least in the liberal world, an addict should have the same cloak of infallibility as a person with Parkinson’s. Yet, while the condemnation of Limbaugh’s review of Fox’s propaganda performance were decisive and swift, much the opposite was true when Limbaugh admitted his disease. Immediately following Limbaugh’s comments on the Michael J. Fox performance, John Rogers, Fox's political adviser, said "It's a shameless statement". And Don Imus followed with, “"Rush Limbaugh, a fat, draft-dodging, drug addict...jacking his maid up, having her buy dope for him...That fat son of bitch, I mean, enough bad stuff can't happen to him." The condemnation of Limbaugh from the MSM was swift, inaccurate and universal. Ironically, when Limbaugh admitted to his disease, the liberals offered him up no cloak of infallibility. Quite to the contrary, they lumped misery upon misery. Mike Hudson, editor of the Niagara Falls Reporter, showed his compassion towards the diseased by writing that “I hope Rush gets over his addiction. Then I hope he dies from cancer of the balls.” In this instance, the liberals granted that mercurial cloak of infallibility to Hudson and ginned up their gleeful mocking of Limbaugh’s disease. Here is a brief part of a timeline sampling the MSM’s compassion for Limbaugh’s disease: Thursday Oct. 2, 2003: Dan Rather, CBS "Evening News": "Rush Limbaugh . . . he's being investigated for possible connections to a powerful drug ring in south Florida." Thursday Oct. 2, 2003: Peter Jennings, "World News Tonight," ABC: "As for Rush Limbaugh . . . [he is] now being investigated for possible involvement in the sale of black market prescription drugs." Thursday, Oct. 2, 2003: Tom Brokaw, NBC "Nightly News": ". . . tabloid headlines that he's involved in an illegal prescription drug-selling probe in his home state of Florida." Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2003: Dan Rather, CBS "Evening News": Dan Rather: "stories abound about Rush Limbaugh and a drug gang . . . ." Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2003: Dan Rather, CBS "Evening News": ". . . talk radio's Rush Limbaugh and renewed focus on narcotics rings that traffic in the potent painkiller OxyContin." Friday, Oct. 10, 2003: Dan Rather, CBS "Evening News": "Rush Limbaugh, who refused to talk for days about allegations. . . is hooked on drugs . . . often sold by powerful drug traffickers. " All lies. As Ann Coulter points out in Godless, “Liberals prey on people at a time of extreme emotional vulnerability”. The sad part is if the vulnerable are liberals they are cloaked in the “Doctrine of Infallibility”. If the vulnerable happen to be Conservatives, the liberals “Cry ''havoc!'' and let loose the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial”.
The MSM has suddenly stopped extolling the benefits of socialized healthcare in Canada, which Canadian M.J. Foz has chosen not to pursue.
I've been wondering why they haven't been hammering this point home lately.
Oh but these liberals have not forgotten that the State of Missouri elected a dead man out of sympathy. Worked once why not try again to play on sympathy.
I thought of this when it was going down with Rush. And another thing, Rush always talks about all the liberals in the MSM. Why don't we hear about these 2 issues more - at least it's more balanced on Fox, but even they are "out there" sometimes.
This enlightenment needs to get beyond the reaches of Ann, Rush, NRO and other conservative news sources.
Because: (1) It is true; (2) It is obvious and (3) most people are afraid to offend the "infallible".
This articles pretty well conveys the message that I tried to recently convey.
Tle libs attacked the messenger in order to destroy the message.
The liberals have told their lies so often that people have started to believe them as mainstream truth. It is the responsibility of Conservatives to tell the truth as often as it takes for people to see and believe the truth.
As it turns out, I'm reading Coulter's book right now.
Chapter 5 as a matter of fact. Fox's parading of his infirmity (blameless victim) is precisely what I thought of when I heard the ads.
Your analysis is dead on. Thanks for posting it. 'Pod.
I gotta think the libs went too far on this one, and it is going to come back and bite them on the butt.
I'm so tired of hearing that drug addiction and alcoholism is a "disease".
If drug addiction is a brain disease, then how can rehab programs or behavioral changes cure a brain disease? Go see a brain surgegon.
When are people going to start taking responsibility for their behvior?

When liberals do! This is not about drug addiction. It is about playing on a level field.
What an embarrassment for our state that was.
What these people can never answer is, if alcoholism is a "disease" what is smoking?
Yes it was especially considering what we ended up having as a US Senator. It is as though they have groomed Fox for just this moment. Party of deception, death and destruction at it again.
I forgot MJF is a Canadian. That would mean if he goes home and stumps this issue in Canada, he could be a boon to their economy, colleges, and professors. My mind is running wild with ideas.
Oh, never mind. I just remembered that there are problems with ESC. I guess he will want to stick to Missouri and be deceptive.
Oh, come on, it made her FEEL better to be elected.
That's all that really matters, you know.
Ann Coulter has done more good than we knew at the time when she insulted the Jersey Girls. She's made it cool to tell the truth.
This is what "compassionate conservatism" will get you. Dems get to characterize us as "mean-spirited" and heartless. We need to throw it back in their teeth. Being a victim gives you exactly zero moral standing. None. In a number of cases it shows your moral standing to be negative (e.g. not fighting to protect yourself or others). The plain truth about comassionate conservatism is that it buys votes with other people's money - just like liberalism.
beautiful girl, thoughtful man.
thanks for the post.
Gotta keep this one on top!!!
Bump! Good and accurate article.
Miss Coulter's is a fierce intellect. I love reading her stuff (sure would love to sit down and drink some adult beverages with her and listen to her go!).
And, God bless Rush for hammering this home.
Enjoyed the post. Thanks.
MP
That's how the Dims operate. Only in the case of Kurt Weldon, investigating Abel Danger and the Clinton stone walls, it wouldn't seem to be DemocRATS doing it when the FBI raided Weldon's home.
The Jersey Girls were depantied in 2004 by this article:

Although it is not as eloquent a job as Coulter's.
too good bump
Depanty the Left!
A great bumper sticker, rallying cry, T-shirt logo, etc....
love the term depanty the left...not that it would take much of the nambla loving pelosi crowd...
Ann is right on and so the msm has to try to disprove disparage and discredit....all in the name of fair & balance journalism.....
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Fox News is not much better than the rest of the msm. Just because Fox likes to legitimize their leftist propagandists by claiming they're needed to create "fairness and balance" doesn't make these miscreants any less subversive to truth and reality. Leftists spewing their propaganda still hurts us all, 'balance' be damned.
No "news" program today is reliable, because the 'news' has become a shameless, grandiose performance by the talking heads and an austentatious production of special effects transitions and sound effects. Real news reporting is a man or woman sitting before a tv camera and reading from a verifiable fact sheet, reporting only on the known facts of a particular event, without the editorializng, strategically raised eyebrows, cynical looks and angry tones.
What passes off as "news" today is nothing more or less than personal opinion, with a few strategically festooned 'facts' to create the illusion of news and lend legitimacy; but those "facts" always seem to accomodate their agenda, and people they "interview" always seem to agree with their agenda. When they can't find anyone who agrees, they simply create a straw man and call him "an unnamed, reliable source". In the old days they simply called this lying, but we live in such corrupt times that few anymore can discern they are being deceived. Anyone who gets their "news" from any mainstream media source is so filled with leftist progaganda and lies that they are really nothing more than programmed robots of the Left. The worst thing is that they don't know it.
Does "austentatious" = ostentatious?
All I can think of is the African AIDS sufferer using his moral authority as a victim to justify raping virgins.
They're both selfishly preying on the defenseless for their own (possible?) benefit.
I want to ask him two questions:
(1) What's your position on harvesting organs from Chinese prisoners?
(2)How many innocent lives is too many to cure you?
Bad, except for the tax revenues.
We have a winner
Coulter is ahead of the curve.
Why is it that conservative women are always attractive?
Exactly !!!!
When are people going to start taking blame for their own actions?
When the lying liberal party of Democrats are so defeated no-one will listen to them any longer.
But Fox is a victim, and even if his message is a lie, he can’t possible be called a liar.
That's it in a nutshell.
Michael is lying about stem cell research. Adult stem cells have proven effective in helping many diseases while fetal stem cells have not helped a single disease. Yet Fox is still promoting fetal stem cell research. His lies are misleading and harmful. They lead people to a place where there is little or NO hope, and away from a place where there is proven success, and lot's of hope. What a shameful DISGRACE he is!
Let's use the stem cells of aborted babies, which so far have proven useless, and keep abortion legal. Yeah, that's the ticket. /sarcasm
It's fine to point out the democrat use of victims, but to say we can't reply to them simply is not accurate. Conservatives call them liars and leftist kooks every day. Whether republican politicians have the cahoneys to do it is another story.
BUMP
Here's an easy way.
Copy the story to Word - Notepad - or some word processing software and then print it out and pass it around to those who are too lazy to find out the truth.
One of my bosses went to see algore's movie - when he mentioned it, I began collecting stories of the opposite opinion - including many legitimate stories from legitimate scientists who totally disagree with the hype.
One such story says that our increased warmth is due to our closeness to the sun - because we're in a 30-year orbit brining us closer and closer to the sun. Within a few years that same orbit will take us farther and farther away from the sun and the earth will begin to cool - bringing on the "ice age" - just like they predicted in the 70's.
My boss has not mentioned "global warming" ever since then.
