Hatred and intolerance are the root causes of what happened last September

No, it was a murderous death cult.

Others simply labeled me a "liberal" -- and made it sound like a dirty word or racial slur.

Right. "racial slur" He's convinced if you don't agree with him you must be a racist somehow.

Here's the dead giveaway: his token Republican says "...as a life long Republican...".

and then proceeds to write as if he is a seminar caller on Rush's show.

God, are liberals stupid or what?

Dumb as dirt. I say now what I said before: he decided to kick Ann off his cheap little paper precisely because he disagrees with her. The rest of his justifications are so much self-righteous window dressing.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Unger has - officially, I think - redefined the epithet
mental midget.

Who ever heard of the jerk? It's not like people are dependent on him to read Ann Coulter. She'll survive without the nobody.

I think he's using her for publicity.

Me thinks Mr Unger from Hunger hit the DUMP BUTTON after getting the grist of the incoming eMail. I'll bet he slept under his bed last nite at his mommies house.

No question.
People throughout the free world know who Ann is.
Meanwhile, the "Fans of Unger" would be hard-pressed to fill a booth at Denny's.

The little cockroach of a journalist got a lot of publicity, didn't he, thanks to that hateful conservative and he now parades as if he were an elephant! Oh, and he didn't fire Coulter, he simply ceased to subscribe to her column. No big loss for anyone, I'm sure.

Re your graph of Salon stock

love to know if any (or all) insiders were selling March '00

Smart money gave it about six months, realized it was a dud, did something in connection with Y2K to jack the stock up 80%, then bailed.

A few called me names, some of them not fit for print, or even the Howard Stern show. Others simply labeled me a "liberal" -- and made it sound like a dirty word or racial slur.

"Liberal" HAS become a dirty word. Thanks to the efforts of the current crop of democrats and the DNC, it is now an epithet. Bill and Hillary dragged the party down to their level...the gutter. That's Bubba's true legacy.

With each new posting came a torrent of e-mails, some only two or three words long, but most running several paragraphs. They came from Centre County and from across all of Pennsylvania, as well as every state in the union, plus Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Denmark and others.

What about Liechtenstein? Did anybody write from Liechtenstein?

My people are a tolerant people, and many of them are just as sick of the vilification they hear from the left as from the right. Most of their anger is directed at television and radio "talk" shows and what passes for debate there. They are as fed up with Paul Begala and James Carville as they are with Ann Coulter, G. Gordon Liddy and Rush Limbaugh -- in short, fed up with all who make their livings by destroying their enemies, carelessly undermining faith in the nation's institutions, and inciting what often feels like tribal warfare.

I'm sending this paragraph to Rush. I'll be curious to hear his reaction to Unger's descripton of him. I wondered if Unger ever listened, or if his opinions on these talk shows he cited were based on what he was told or read about them.

After reading this in Friday's CDT, any doubts or guilt I might have had about cancelling our home subscription to the Centre Daily Times several years ago were immediately dispelled.

One more related item: Back around 1994 or so, an Op Ed appeared in the CDT by Lawrence W. Young titled "Toxic Radio". Young is the Director of the Penn State University Paul Robeson (The late Communist Party USA member) Cultural Center.

In his CDT piece, Young lamented the 5 hours daily of hate radio in the Centre region by G.Gordon Liddy from 10 AM to Noon, and then Rush from 12 to 3 PM. In his Op Ed, Young called G. Gordon Liddy a convicted perjurer, which was a blatant lie.

That night I clipped the Op Ed from the CDT and faxed it to Liddy and suggested that on his show the next morning he call Lawrence Young and demand an apology.

That's exactly what G. Gordon Liddy did, and in the process he made a fool out of the ignorant Lawrence Young. On nationwide radio Liddy asked the Penn State director why he made up the story that he was a convicted perjurer. Young replied that a friend told him that's what is was. Those of us who were around during the Watergate years remember that Liddy was sentenced to a 20 year term in federal prison for refusing to testify to anything in the Watergate investigations.

It turned out that the intellectually challenged Young couldn't even define the meaning of perjury. He didn't know what it meant.

Liddy served nearly 5 years in 9 separate federal prisons before having his sentence commuted to time served by none other than President Jimmy Carter.

Any bets on what "right-wing" site he was referring to?

My very brief and to the point note to Unger:

"It must be painful to hate Ann so much and find yourself her unwitting publicist, thus proving her point."

Good Idea, sending it to Rush! I have second thoughts every year when I renew my subscription to the CDT...
