What exactly did she say about the Kennedy clan that wasn't based in fact Brian? You need to start writing a little more frankly, like she does, not the other way around

America is tired of condoning the filth we have for leaders as role models. She is speaking the truth, and in your heart you know it, you just don't have the guts to say it in print.

[cactusSharp]

you go Ann.......when they write like this,
you are doing your God given responsibility

[RAY]

Probably on about 10% of the public understands and put in the right perspective Ann Coulter's statements. The politically correct crowd will never like her statements.

[VRW Conspirator]

...Those who appreciate Coulter (I am one) cannot help but...

heh-heh

bares mentioning

Hey, Mr. Intellectual: Check your spelling.

[Dan De Quille]

generally speaking, much too plaintive and soft spoken for its own good, that refuses to recognize the rest of the world has modernized while it hasn’t, that will not face its opposition (liberalism) in the same manner in which it is continuously treated.

Boy, have you got that right. We need a few more Ann Coulters.

[sport]

Some people just can't handle the truth.

[narby]

I saw the interview on O'Reilly with the editor of this paper. I don't believe a word he says.

He claims that his paper has gotten thousands of message about their cancelling Coulters column, and the vast majority were in favor of it.

People don't take the trouble to send a newspaper a message unless they're mad. There's no way that many people took up the trouble to send a congratulatory message to the paper. Unless it was orchestrated by DU, in which case, the editor's point is invalid.

What I'd like to know is how many e-mails, and what do they say now? After this has been brought out by O'Reilly.

I personally think there's an effort to rid the world of Coulter, as they attempted to do to Rush, after she trashed the NYTimes so well in her book.

[John Lenin]

I get it, Janet Reno as atrocius as she is, can say or do anything and the media lapdogs ignore it. Ann comes out and speaks the absolute truth about the Kennedys and she is labeled extremeist ?

[gcruse]

...will not face its opposition (liberalism) in the
same manner in which it is continuously treated.

Take a bow, Trent Lott.  How I miss Newt.

It also bares mentioning, though it should seem obvious,

Heh.  A wagon bears a load.  Something bears mentioning.

Anyone who openly defies or opposes Ann Coulter is her enemy

Tell me about it.  Ask her about the misbegotten War on Drugs sometime.

[alpowolf]

The Centre Daily Times, a State College, Pennsylvania newspaper, took that as the last straw and dropped Coulter’s column from its pages, having previously informed its readers that the column was on probation (as it were) due to the frankness of her views and the manner in which they were conveyed

Interesting that "speaking frankly" has become such a crime in this country.

[M. Peach]

Nice article Brian - I hear what you're saying. She's the Howard Stern of conservatism, however she will appeal to a certain audience. I quite frankly enjoy reading her intellectual and shocking criticism, and I think there certainly is a place for her in the media.

I think she is necessary because sometimes liberals need to be shocked with the unvarnished truth to realize how irrational some of their logic can be.

[TLBSHOW]

We need more Anns not watered down rats!

[LasVegasMac]

Coulter’s thought pattern doesn’t always translate well to those not as vehement in their objections..

They translate just fine.

Why is it that the DemoRats have been ranting / raving / telling bald ass lies - really cranked up about 1992 - and the Republicans do nothing to counter the crap. It's a brilliant and effective tactic by the DemoRats - tell a lie often enough and ....you know the rest.

I, for one, am glad someone from the conservative side has the ba..umm..intestinal fortitude to call a spade a spade and give it to ‘em like they give it to Republicans every chance they get.

Ann is not at the gutter level – not even close. She just has a penchant for pointing out the fact that most DemoRats are.

Thank you, Ann.

I understand the complaint that she is guilty of what she complains about... but I also reject it.

The difference is that she makes no bones about being an opinion columnist.

The people she, and I, complain about are people in the straight medoa purporting to be objective.

I don't like Begala, or Carville, for example, but they make no pretense of being objective. They are openly in the opinion game. They are soulless liars, and Ann is pretty factual, but nevertheless you get my point.

Our complaint is with the news organizations who are not supposed to be partisan, but are. And Katy Couric and the other announcers who are pretend to be non-partisan, but launch vicious attacks on conservatives.

[habs4ever]

A little of her goes a long way.

[Rockitz]

Unfortunately, conservatism has relied a bit too much on the back-handed complimentary, tongue-in-cheek, jesting style of character assasination for treating those on the Left and only intellectual conervatives understand what was really being said. Ann is more direct and mainstream America understands exactly what she's saying. While it may cause conservatives to bite their tongues and offend their sense of dignity, I'm afraid I'll have to agree that it's necessary to call a spade a spade because, let's face it, mainstream America does not have the IQ points that conservatives do. Maybe it's because Ann's all woman that it's hard to watch sometimes. To that I say, YOU GO GIRL!

[marron]

And anyway, I am so tired of the Kennedy's ripping into Repubs, who are afraid to answer back to America's royalty.

And I am tired of Repubs complimenting the Kennedys, and trying to gain legitimacy by quoting JFK.

I am tired of people going on about all the good the Kennedys have done for the country, and everyone just knods their heads approvingly. Gee.

What Ann said about them is true, needs to be said, and is only the half of it. JFK's war time record, his private life, his betrayal of the Tibetans, and the Cubans, and the VietNamese, and his family's dalliances with NAZIs and Mafiosos, and so on down the line could fill a movie that will never be made.

"In defense of Ann Coulter: she is an asset to a movement (conservatism) that is, generally speaking, much too plaintive and soft spoken for its own good, that refuses to recognize the rest of the world has modernized while it hasn’t, that will not face its opposition (liberalism) in the same manner in which it is continuously treated. Coulter’s tendency is to respond to liberalism as it has responded to conservatism over the years, with open contempt."

Although she occasionally could soften her rhetoric with equal effect, I agree that it's past time we learned how to communicate on a street level.

I applaud her for that...she makes a great role model for kids faced with the malevolent drivel constantly spewed from the mouths of trusted mentors like teachers and professors.

This move is also mirrored in todays Christian Youth Movement. They don't lie down and take it anymore. They stand up for their rights and are winning battles because of it. No more sheep led to the slaughter.

[A CA Guy]

Ann has no worries. She says what many think, so she will always have an audiance. But unlike Democrats, Ann's audiance has MONEY to pay for her books and other intellectual property.
