An appalling magic (Attack on Anne Coulter)

The Guardian ^ | Saturday May 17, 2003 | Jonathan Freedland

[shhrubbery!]

Or a Bible-bashing, burn-in-hell televangelist like Jerry Falwell?

Jerry Falwell is a Bible-basher? LOL.

What is it with the Brits that they can't seem to remember the phrase, "bible-thumping" ?

That other Brit --what's his name, the one who took money from Saddam? (actually I think he's a Scot) -- delivered an infamous speech in Parliament, in which he described President Bush as "Bible-belting."

I find it interesting that this left-wing void finds it necessary to consume 6,000 words telling us how wrong Ann Coulter is. One more thing the Right has going for it is that its pundits tend to be more succinct. Of course, the Left makes a much larger target.

That's what I was thinking. War and Peace was a "post-it-note" compared to this sucker.

Damn!

Sounds suspiciously like the sandmaggots actually wrote his material.
This is a good example of the syntax errors and malapropisms that arabs make when attempting "serious" English.

Classic Coulter!

"Everyone suffers equally. Which presumably is the dream of the Guardian: modelled after their beloved Soviet Union."

Are we missing something, we find Alterman one of the most pathetic and illogical writers currently given space to bloviate.

[facedown]

Perhaps a big-mouth butterball like Rush Limbaugh?

The only butter involved is between the writer's ears.

Why would you think I disagree?

Was RFK assassin Sirhan Sirhan a Christian or Muslim? The writer uses this as an example of Coulter making a mistake.

If the following can be believed, he was apparently a Christian when he was younger.

We missed him. Our chance to change things came and passed and we did not know it was there. A dark-skinned little boy sat through Sunday School classes for three years at a great Baptist Church (First Church, San Antonio) but some one missed him. His name was Sirhan Sirhan, and at age 24 he shot and killed Senator Robert Kennedy. In a welter of words and the shudder of grief throughout our nation, the persistent thought keeps recurring...someone missed him.

Dr. Jimmy Allen, former pastor of First Baptist Chruch, San Antonio, Texas in Pulpit Helps, May, 1991.

And then there is Daniel Pipes, at:

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, born March 19, 1944, in Jerusalem, is a Christian, not a Muslim.

We have to admit that many of them actually learned to string coherent sentences together.

You mean like this?

[Brices Crossroads]

I agree. Although he purports to attack Ann Coulter, you an detect all sorts of admiration for her. I actually enjoyed reading it. It reminded me why I like Ann Coulter so much. She does not write like a man, though. She writes better than any man I know. To use a military metaphor, I think an appropriate "nom de guerre" for her would be: "The Stonewall Jackson of the American Right".

While liberals detest her, they cannot help admiring her skills as a polemicist.

[StoneColdTaxHater]

I am happily married but I LOVE ANN COULTER!

[Publius6961]

You mean like this?

S-a-a-a-a-y....!
How old are you, anyway?

Ain't gonna tell you how long it's been since I saw one of those!

[sweetliberty]

Sounds like another of Ann's jealous rejects. There is nothing quite as entertaining as a liberal with his undies in a twist trying to bash an opponent while at the same time having to admit to their truth. Very entertaining read.

Ping!

[Marauder]

This loser is as verbose as he is stupid. What a chump.

[fish hawk]

Hey! they pretty much got it right. That's the Ann Coulter that I love. Do they think that all this about Ann is BAD??

[RWG]

she flits from one rightwing prejudice to another...she flits from one empirical fact to another.
