IIRC, Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect was cancelled over an offensive remark, so I guess it depends on whatever you think "get away with" means.
Miss Coulter was on the Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night, and she seemed to be worn out by the continuing dishonest portrayals of her words.
My mother used to say "don't dish it out if you can't take it".
It is apparent that when you stand up for conservative values, and especially when you stand up for Christian values, you will be ridiculed.
Ann gets ridiculed because she ridicules. Do unto others...
Ann was a talk show guest- Bill Maher was a talk show host.
Ann was set up. Bill Maher was host in charge of his own program and comments, which were presented as serious political comment, not humor. Ann is being ridiculed because she is being misquoted. Ann has not misquoted anyone in order to ridicule them. There are plenty of real fools out there without having to create a faux fool by willfully or stupidly misquoting them.
I think Ann is up for any battle of wits (assuming she can find an armed opponent on the left, which is looking unlikely).
I can’t blame her for being frustrated by being sandbagged by fools, like this talk show host who set her up for the political expediency of John Edwards .... and who then supported the big media lie about her comments the following day!
Ann refuses to sit back and let pass what many know but are too intimidated to say out loud- that real or claimed “victimhood” should not be used - unchallenged - as a political tool with which any self-serving fool or pious hypocrite can say, or do, any outrageous thing.
I have been, generally, unsympathetic to Ann Coulter when she gets into controversy. But not this time. This time she was clearly and deliberately taken out of context. Anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty knows the point she was making.
