Their loss.

[Frank Chodorov]

A couple of offers from the local cable access channel's "Kill em all for Jesus" show no doubt.

[pabianice]

To be fair, it works both ways. Writers must have the freedom to say what they want. Employers must have the freedom to fire people they don't want.

[mgc1122]

time will tell whose ideas have more merit. i dont agree with ann's assertions about 'what' to do, but i don't think national review should have fired her. it is a gutless and telling decision on their part to controversy. and its telling the liberals who were whining about cencorship as attempts to get maher's advertisers pulled were made are totally silent on this.

Is this the same Jonah Goldberg who suggested just last year that we should go into Africa, "guns blazing," to impose democracy on the poor benighted Africans?

Coultier suggested we kill people who are trying to kill us. Goldberg wants to kill people who never did anything to us.

Maybe he should fire himself.

National Review Online Editor Jonah Goldberg told the Post, "We didn't feel we wanted to be associated with the comments expressed in those two columns." Why did you print them, then?

[FormerLurker]

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity,"

You've got to admit, that's a bit on the extreme side. The first two comments are OK, but I'm sure a lot of people would have a problem with the last remark. Many people believe in God, but not all of them are Christians.

[MizSterious]

Actually, I'm not sure I'd want to be associated with Jonah Goldbert. Ann's columns were on target, sorry pc'ers.

[malarski]

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity,"

Sounds to me like one of the neocons in their PC ways.

[JmyBryan]

I'd like to know the "exit-strategy" for declaring "converted".

[lavaroise]

Judging from this, I think most of America is to the left, even so called conservatives. The National Review is afraid of shedding Islamic terrorist blood. What a sorry nation we are if that is the kinds of fears we share.

Add Coulter to the list of assorted idiots who took this situation as an opportunity to set their hair on fire and run about in circles screaming "look at me, LOOK AT ME!!".

Coulter, Browne, Falwell, Robertson, Maher, and counting.

[jess35]

I didn't see a lot of vitriol directed towards the advertisers and stations that pulled politically incorrect when Bill Maher called the Clinton administration "cowards"...but I've seen a LOT of anger directed towards NR for pulling Coulter.

Personally, I thought Coulter's statements were a lot more offensive.

[editor-surveyor]

Never did think much of tightly controlled CFR pubs like National(Neo-Marxist)Review, or anything to do with a Buckley, or a Goldberg.

No Conservatism there!

[big bad easter bunny]

The name Jonah is so fitting in this case!

[KirkandBurke]

A long time ago, when NR was actually a conservative publication, being let go might have had some real negative consequences for an up and coming commentator. Nowadays, big whoop. It's just as well she's no longer associated with those toffey-nosed pretenders and the statist drivel that oozes from their pages.

[Drew68]

This was a knee-jerk reaction. My bet says the the National Review gets more negative mail than they can handle. People may act disgusted by what Ann said, but in their heart many agree.

[Spiff]

Name one good, positive thing that has come from Islam and its beliefs.

Compare the fruits of Islam to the fruits of Judeo-Christian inspired civilization.

Matthew - Chapter 7, The New Testament, The Holy Bible, King James Version
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know• them by their fruits•. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good• fruit•; but a corrupt• tree bringeth forth evil• fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit• is hewn• down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits• ye shall know them.

[RWG]

Once again, Jonah proves the acorn does not fall far from the oak.

[Hail Caesar]

the National Review Online subsequently refused to run another Coulter piece in which she referred to "swarthy males."

Wasn't she actually referring to those Clinton/Gore Administration appointees and shills who STILL control the bureaucracy here in Washington, D.C.? :-\
