"This is about the liberal media taking a joke by ONE person in a meeting and attempting to paint the entire conservative movement as racist homophobic bigots." No -- this is about ONE person deliberately throwing a bomb, to once again, make it all about her in such a way that the messages from CPAC were drowned out. She knew what she was doing. She wanted to be provocative and she didn't care.

"Ann is not a racist homophobic bigot. She is being painted as one with glee by the media." Yep it is all the MEDIA's fault! The media has little puppet tool that opens and closes Ann's mouth and then they have a ventriloquist that utters her words for her. I don't know if she's a bigot. I do know that she made a choice to use those words, knowing full well what the reaction would be --- and she doesn't even have the Gibson excuse of being drunk. "If we have to filter every single word out of our mouths and cower in fear of something we say might be misconstrued, apologize every time the media stirs up a hornet's nest of outrage, we might as well admit that we've lost." Again, this isn't about a slip of the tongue or something being misconstrued. She knew what she was going to say. She planned it. She knew the reaction. As has been her habit lately, it was all about calling attention to Ann without regard to how it would impact those she claims to support.

"Ann Coulter knows the media is just waiting for a good head shot to take her down permanently and shut her up. Ann is standing tall and telling them to take their best shot." On the contrary. She knows that every time she stirs up a hornet's nest and gets attention from the media, she sells more books to sycophants and gets more speaking engagements booked. Nothing will ever shut her up and she knows it.

"I stand with Ann Coulter. I am unapologetic, unashamed and quite proud of her." Apparently! So when Ann makes jokes about the deaths of Supreme Court justices or Clinton, don't turn around and whine when someone jokes about killing Cheney. I, on the other hand, will object when either side is uncivil.

"90% of our domestic media is intent on the descruction of everything I believe in. They are the true enemies of freedom and liberty." LOL! 90% huh? Was that in the 2006 census or 2005? And would I find those stats under "enemies of freedom" or "MSM" or what? Spare me the hyperbole!

"We won't back down." Thus proving my point! You sound just like the guy on Daily Kos. Heaven forbid you dare to condemn anything said by your side! Wouldn't want to be perceived as "backing down"

"When they outlaw words, only outlaws will have words." LOL! Are you for real???? You sound like a Daily Show version of conservatives. Get over yourself. This isn't an attempt to "outlaw" words -- though I grant you that is indeed the case in France and Canada. You sound just like the Dixie Chicks. There is a difference between the government coming in and punishing someone for words citizens establishing private standards of decency. Hey, why don't you go tell your little kid to call his teacher a "faggot"? And then, when he gets sent to the principal's office, have him proudly proclaims. "When they outlaw words, only outlaws will have words!" How profound!

"What use is civility, without freedom and liberty? Do you want a civil, but enslaved society? I'll pass." Again, spare me the Dixie Chicks drama. You don't have to surrender freedom in order to be civil. It is called having "manners". People have managed to do it for a long time, without being "enslaved".
