Being vulgar or appearing mean spirited does not advance the conservative cause. Ann Coulter (sigh) is intelligent enough to get her point across without resorting to school yard taunts.

"...Coulter's legitimate points of view are beginning to get lost in the noise of being outlandish"

Bingo. The phrase "Pyrrhic victory" comes to mind.

Nothing.

1. "Faggot" is just not that offensive, and

2. I do not recognize the validity of any laws or policies that grant special protection to homosexuals. Treating them and their practice of disgusting perverse sexual acts with the condemnation and derision it deserves is a non-violent and perectly valid act of civil disobedience, if nothing else.

For me, too.

I guess the saying is.
The more outrageous you are, the more news coverage.
Thats why Anna Nicole has been the main news story the last month.

I wouldn't have put it in exactly the same words, but then, nobody asks me to give a presentation at CPAC or appear on cable TV news :-).

i point these people to the u.s. constitution, but they've never read it, nor are they sure it's relevant.

They vote, though, right? People such as your neighbors are why I've given up on this country.

As The Mexican Comic said on his show:

I think you mean Carlos Mencia...he's not mexican and he makes sure to let you know.

He's descended from Guatemala and he always tells mexicans "if you love Mexico so much, go the *()&)& back!"

Tell me some crazy comments Rush has made over the years.
You cant compare Rush to Ann.
Rush tries to beat you on points.
Ann tries to be outrageous for attention.

Socialist hate free speech... We ought to have a law that protects free speech... maybe even an amendment to the Constitution... or make it one of the first Bill of Rights... maybe we should take communist and put them in jail for suppressing free speech and essentially breaking the law.

I have yet to see anyone explain how this advances conservatism or will gain new voted for conservative candidates. I am willing to listen, if anyone would care to explain it.

It sure get's the ol' adrenalin pumping though, doesn't it? Kind of like going to a Monster Truck Rally.

"voted" should be "votes"

Stupid lack of typing skills!

No. The rush towards authoritarianism and fascism has.

Biography:
Mencia was born “Ned Arnel Mencia”, the seventeenth of eighteen children in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. His father, Roberto Holness, is from Honduras, and his mother, Magdelena Mencia, is from Mexico. He was raised in East Los Angeles, California by his aunt Consuelo and uncle Pablo Mencia.

Yep.

This is such a pretentious way of saying it, but: the discussion makes me sad.

FReepers defend Ann because she's said 1001 wonderful things correctly, acerbically, cuttingly. She shows the guts and gusto and take-no-prisoners attitude that we wish to God even one or two of our "leaders" would show.

With all that, I agree. I've defended her, and expect I'll continue to do so.

But no one except God is perfect, and no human being except Jesus has NEVER misspoken, nor needed to reconsider or regroup. Statements like this lessen her effectiveness and derail the discussion.

So, many fellow-FReepers defend her because she's Ann, they think she's hot (I don't, and don't care), and because they hate her critics. I get all that.

But you know, no one's always right. Better friends and supporters say, "Hon -- that was dumb. Really. It isn't worth you becoming 'The Faggot Lady' in people's minds. Then they won't hear all the vastly more important stuff you have to say. Don't be the last to admit it was dumb."

Sadly, Ann has managed to turn her best and strongest weapon, her words, back on herself.

I don't get it, Roger Ailes cracks an Obama job that causes the cancelation of the Democrat Debates and no thread excoriating him.

Instead we're focused on Ann.

I suspect infiltrators.
