Dem Campaign Cmte Wants To Silence Ann Coulter

From the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:

Demand House Republicans Denounce Ann Coulter's Hate-Speech Petition

We, the Undersigned, endorse the following petition:

Target: Republican Members in the United States Congress
Sponsor: Democratic Congressonal Campaign Committee

As Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said on the House floor recently, we are blessed with many freedoms, and among those is the right to freely speak our minds. While Freedom of Speech is one of the principles that makes our country great, it also means we have to endure hate filled rhetoric, like what was recently used by Ann Coulter.

In her new book, the princess of the Right slanders the 9/11 widows, writing: "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief parrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's death so much."

Ann Coulter has the right to speak of hate, but we also have a right to know whether our politicians stand by these hate filled comments. And right now there's a deafening silence from the Republican side, and their silence is allowing her to be their spokesperson.

Join the DCCC in telling Republicans to denounce Ann Coulter's hate speech - Ask the House Republicans is Ann Coulter speaking for you?

Sieg heil!

(Is this what the country voted for last Tuesday?)

Question: why do the eminently hateable not like to be publicly described? Ann has the right to hate, even if I don't agree.

[EagleUSA]

They don't want to silence Ann Coulter -- they want to silence THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM.

[socal_parrot]

The Dems are only for free speech if it's something they agree with.

[Sam Hill]

A "Democrats have the same tolerance as their Muslim allies" ping.

[B4Ranch]

Ann,
Come to Reno, Nevada and I'll buy you dinner, if you promise to keep talking this way.

[TommyDale]

They want to silence Ann Coulter because she has more class and more brains than all of them put together. Case closed.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Will the Liberals be condemning and silencing moveon.org, George Soros, and the rest of their un-American hate mongers.

[YellowRoseofTx]

More from the party of tolerance and inclusion.

[pnh102]

Someone needs to remind Commissar Emanuel that not even Congress has the authority to infringe on freedom of speech.

Meanwhile, I hope Ann Coulter sends them a hand-written thank you card for giving her so much free publicity.

[digger48]

some of the comments on the petition are hilarious

[windcliff]

Why don't they go after Bill Maher, Chris Matthews and Keith...oh that's right they are democrats and they have the only right to hate speech.

[PGalt]

Thanks. ANOTHER example of the anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life Democrat Crime Syndicate.

[Sam Hill]

"Will the Liberals be condemning and silencing moveon.org, George Soros, and the rest of their un-American hate mongers."

Soros is undoubtedly behind this.

Silencing Coulter has been one of his missions. He's already put his stooges at "Media Matters" on the job:

[Xenalyte]

"Her new book"? Thing's several months old. Can't they find something else to exercise their teensy little minds?

[savedbygrace]

What the heck are parrazies?

[Long Island Pete]

I wasnt too keen on how she worded her argument, but then again, that Ann.

[SoldierDad]

I challenge all here on FR to contact their House and Senate representatives and let them know you are against this type of Nazi like extremism of silencing an American simply because they don't like the message. This must be stopped in it's tracks quickly. If not, then we will see a real erosion of our rights rather than the accusations of erosions we've all heard from the dems over the last several years. The dems obviously wish to silence all opposition from the get-go in order to ensure their continuity of power from this past election cycle.

[Grampa Dave]

The gifts from the following this past election continues to grow in number and size.

Key words to describe what we are going through and will be going through thanks to the Bush haters on the left and the right since the recent lesson er election.

Dem FAQ:

Is it OK to out gays?
Only if they are republicans, and only when timed for maximum political impact.

Is it OK for Ann Coulter to out the liberal grief industry?
No, that would be hate speech.

[Bigh4u2]

"Someone needs to remind Commissar Emanuel that not even Congress has the authority to infringe on freedom of speech."

And then there was 'Campaign Finance Reform'.

Don't bet on anything.

[desherwood7]

I hope the Republicans won't give in just to get the MSM to like them.

[Redcitizen]

Surely someone can post a picture of Ann?

[Manic_Episode]

Screw that crap. I denounce democrats.

[subterfuge]

When, pray tell, will Democrats stop referring to every conservative and Republican as rasist, homophobic, hate-monger, religious fundamentalists?

When will Democrats stop referring to EVERY SINGLE person of leadship within the Republican party as tokens?!!

WHEN, Rep. Rahm Emanuel ?!!!!!!!!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

There will soon be a return of the "fairness doctrine" which is not fair and is not a doctrine. They will destroy Rush, Ann, Michael and others.
Will "conservatives" rise up and demand their rights?
I doubt it.

[fish hawk]

What a disappointment, I only came here for the pictures.

[lesko]

Will they denounce Alec Baldwin? How about the little punk Bill Maher?

[advertising guy]

no..they want Ann silenced because she IS EFFECTIVE....

[popdonnelly]

Coulter has the same right of free speech that anyone else does. The Democrats are awfully selective in their criticism. They wouldn't accuse any of their more deranged supporters of hate speech.

And what the heck is hate speech, anyway? Something I or someone else finds offensive? I thought that was what the First Amendment was supposed to protect.

[oldironsides]

Someone once said that Emmanuel has duel citzenship. The USA and Israel. Anyone know if that is true?

[Sam Hill]

"Surely someone can post a picture of Ann?"

Why? So that this thread can devolve into the usual arguments about whether she needs a sandwich and which conservative woman is better looking?

Can't we be spared that just once after nine years?

[popdonnelly]

To put it simply, this "hate speech" drivel is just a sneaky way of silencing someone you disagree with. It's a "shut up or else" ploy.

[paratrooper82]

What about the DNC hate for Ann Coulter?

[Sam Hill]

Wikipedia claims that's a false charge:

Rahm Emanuel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"citiz"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

[shekkian]

What are they going to do about it?

[NeoCaveman]

This just proves Ann's effectiveness.

And to think of all the new material she is going to get out of the next two years.

[dforest]

I don't think Ann will take this too much to heart. Considering the sources.

[jellybean]

Ask the House Republicans is Ann Coulter speaking for you?

Fine, lets ask the democrats if Michael Moore, Keith Olberman and Al Franken speak for them.

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

[youngjim]

Good to see you Sam.

I used to live in downtown Chicago and ran into RE a few times before he took over some dim fossil's district covering 'boys town'.

He looked like a poof to me, and when he talks he has a distinct sibilant lisp.

I'd love to have AC call out this pansy on this one--silly poof fights beautiful woman--film @ 11.

[ExTexasRedhead]

If we want any freedoms left, the GOP better grow a spine and stop Liberal attacks on our freedom. In the Liberal mindset (that's if you believe they have a mind), the only ones allowed freedom of speech in this country are un-American Liberals. Liberals call the President every name in their book and that's "Their Right to Free Speech" while they want to take away Conservatives freedoms. This is only the beginning, Rush, Hannity, Savage, and FreeRepublic will be next on their hit list.

[Tx Angel]

Ann never claimed to represent the elected Republican officials -- or even Republicans, for that matter.

Maybe now she can play the victim card, too. Or is that reserved for libs only?

[Ouderkirk]

Ann Coulter has a very strong sarcastic wit. When she goes after democRATS, she goes all out. She may use her sarcasm inappropriately or not. You don't like her stuff, don't read it.

I for the life of me do not understand why the practitioners of the politics of personal destruction (democRATS) are always looking to silence Ann Coulter. Why don't you just try to trash and discredit her, or is it that you can't discredit her and what she writes/says and you need to silence her another way

[CDHart]

I think they misspelled "paparazzi" but I might have, too.

[PeterFinn]

"Free Speech!" (for those people we agree with) - Democrats

[george76]

The essence of being a liberal:

“The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”

~ Ann Coulter

[2001convSVT]

And in a related note the Congressional Dems are calling for the banning and burning of books! Yes, all of Ann Coulter plus the Bible!

[top 2 toe red]

Hell, will they condemn and silent their own buddies?!? Pelosi? Harry? Ted? Shumer? Durbin? Murtha? Rangel? Maxine Waters? Boxer? Clinton? Dennis? Jon Carrey? Etc., etc. x 250 more or less dimocrat senator/representives?

When these hate-sprewing shrills have been silenced and condemned...then they can start with Howard, Gore, Carter, M Moore, J Jackson, Colmes, all of Air America, NYT, WaPO, and on and on and on...

[TChris]

Question: why do the eminently hateable not like to be publicly described? Ann has the right to hate, even if I don't agree.

I think the bigger point is that Ann doesn't hate them at all. Her writing was not hateful. It was pointed and critical and accurate, but not hateful.

Also, Ann targets only those who have put themselves into the public arena, whether by writing books, running for office or jabbering on a talk show. If these folks want to be public with their ideas, then they should expect to be subjected to public scrutiny and criticism.

Some wisdom for these sensitive liberal souls: If you don't want your liberal philosophies skewered by Ms. Coulter, then keep them to yourself.

[TommyDale]

"Why don't you just try to trash and discredit her, or is it that you can't discredit her and what she writes/says and you need to silence her another way"

I hope that was intended for the Democrats, and not me. I am a friend of Ann Coulter.
