Such is the level of indignation on the right at the left’s nastiness towards her and those who might abet it that I got yelled at by a friend last night for posting this. Now Radar gives us something new, which isn’t the only claim out there that she’s made more than one “biggest mistake of my life.” I understand the defensiveness on her behalf — search the archives and you’ll see that I’ve written plenty in her favor — but I also get Ace’s exasperation:
My problem, instead, is that she has enlisted supporters, such as myself, to support her in her legal/PR campaign, on the theory that the California pageant had nothing legitimate to boot her out on, and that only anti-Christian animus could explain their behavior, when in fact… well, first the photos, which were racy, but I excused and defended. And then, well, the masturbation tape, which I kept quiet about.
And now… the other seven masturbation tapes…
She knew all this stuff was out there, she knew it was coming out, etc., and yet I and many of her supporters have been impressed into duty as her defenders through deception.
Because it wasn’t ever true that there was no reason, save anti-Christian animus, to kick her out of the pageant organization. A masturbation tape is, well. I’m not really offended by it but other pageant-hopefuls have gotten the boot for the same thing, and even a lot less.
So what do I feel about her? I feel she chumped me in order to advance her own legal interests…
Whether she has anything more interesting to say is up to her. But the Perez Hilton/pageant stuff? I really don’t care to hear how unfair it all was anymore. It was unfair, and a book deal was gotten out of that; that’s enough. A book deal can bandage up a lot of wounds.
I’m wondering if he’s in the minority on that or if sentiment is spreading that her defenders, in some way, have been had. I agree with him (and said so yesterday) that the left’s “hypocrisy” charge is overblown, for the simple reason that Christians don’t claim to be perfect. On the contrary, it’s the fact that they’re imperfect and prone to “stray from the path,” as we all are, that draws them towards redemption in the faith. There does, however, come a point where you stray so far from the path or so frequently that your commitment to it comes into question. For example, an atheist in a foxhole might be forgiven for saying a prayer in a moment of panic, while he’s being shot at. An atheist who prays any time he’s in a tough spot … simply ain’t much of an atheist. Has CP reached that point (yet) in Christian/conservative opinion or is her line of credit essentially limitless”?
As for MOST conservative men, there are two things in the way:
1) Ann Coulter (more intelligent, more conservative) is still unattached
2) The conservative man's WIFE.
Cheers!
I do not like Allahpundit he has turned me off of Hotair. They work for a conservative women yet they hate all other conservative women.
What would Ann Coulter have to do with me minding embracing Carrie?
I'm not married, but looking at that picture, I don't think I'd mind terribly "embracing" Carrie.
Of course my wife might, and thats a different story :)
Whether a guys married or Ann Coulters around, embracing (hugging) Carrie LOOKS like it might be enjoyable for a THE brief second or 2. (Did I say brief ;)
Now comparing Carrie to Ann, they're both attractive. Ann just needs to eat a samich or 2 or 20. But as far as brains, and who you'd want to sit down and talk to, and probably stay with, I think Ann, hands down.
Most people think of me as a pretty outgoing, extremely witty and somewhat fearless and bold guy. I think I would be intimidated speechless by Ann. Not because her looks, but her wits and brains.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't want the chance to meet her.

I totally agree. She didn’t deserve to be treated the way she was for honestly answering a question. BUT everything since then has been nonsense.
It’s these types of chicks that give trailer parks a bad name .
And she's given them the fuel, the tinder, the match, and the rope to tie her with.
The most intelligent commentary on the matter... (applause).
You went to college and actually READ the material!
Evolution (whether you believe it or not) is only possible with HETEROSEXUAL relationships.
This is an axiomatic truth of mammalian reproductive biology, something many people are quite uncomfortable with.
If these powerful liberal smear machines dug into your past, what would they find? Her mistake is that she trusted a boyfriend and he burned her. Wonder if they investigated every Miss America like this they would find this and worse.
She stood up for marriage was her real mistake, it won’t ever be repeated. So I will stand up for her, even if she isn’t a saint like all other Conservatives.
Pray for America and Prejean
And Ann has Carrie hands-down on brains.
Ergo, Ann being available pre-empts embracing Carrie.
Cheers!
Things that make me cringe to think about. Which is one reason why I'm not out there trying to portray myself as a victim of liberalism and I'm not hitting the talk shows peddling a book.
Well she is a victim of the liberal smear machine/establishmedia for running for Miss America and not being PC. Who’s next that your willing to throw under the bus for speaking out? Palin? For that, I give her a ton of leeway.
Pray for America’s Freedom
She did it to herself by thrusting herself into the public light when she knew her past actions would be open to scrutiny.
Like all good conservatives, run away.

That’s it in a nutshell. Of course the libs will trash her and try to prevent her livelihood - one shouldn’t be surprised that alligators act like alligators. But are the conservatives going to go along with it and help it along? Who’s gonna hire her after this?
