For those interested in the charge, Freda Utley published an article in the American Mercury nearly fifty years ago dealing with this attempt to link the Senator with Nazis which may be found at http://www.fredautley.com/malmedy.htm.
Read it and then decide if Rabinowitz' snide little aside was warranted.
Huh? Have you read this entire thread? Horowitz and Rabinowitz both attacked Coulter with faulty information, with rhetoric which could have come from Joe Conason. In fact, Dorothy and David are now being cited by liberals as "expert" in their criticism of Ann.
I don't find fault with her book. That is why I don't reproach her for it. You find something wrong?
Nice to hear! Doesn't take much research however. All one needs is a copy of Treason and the articles by Horowitz and Rabinowitz.
Flag me when you do the interview, OK?
Because she's a leggy, attractive blonde. As someone else said one on of these threads, if Ann Coulter looked like Dorothy Rabinowitz, many of the same people defending Ann would be on the attack against her.
What do you want to reproach her for? I don't think even Ann would contend she's "above reproach." It's just that she and her supporters have the McCarthyite temerity to demand some substance to the "reproaches." See, when you "reproach" someone without facts, or---God forbid---with a lie, that's called a "smear." And smears are not nice.
Dickstein was engaging in the "McCarthyism" Rabinowitz abhors over a decade before Joe McCarthy held his hearings. On February 11, 1941, Dickstein took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and declared:
"One hundred and ten fascist organizations in the United States have had, and have now the key to the back door of the Un-American Activities Committee!"The ironic part is that Dickstein, on orders from Stalin, introduced the bill creating HCUA. It originally went after conservatives. Dickstein was infuriated when the committee turned on communists.
Why no press coverage about the Mccormick/Dickstein "witchhunt"? The two of them accused conservatives of plotting a "putsch" to take over the Federal government. Dickstein served 11 terms in Congress, then became a judge on the New York State Supreme Court. There is a plaza named after him in NYC. When he wasn't relying on his usual $1,250 a month salary from the Soviets (over $15,000 in current dollars), he was earning extra money by selling Stalin visas for his NKVD agents (Dickstein chaired an immigration committee).
If someone wants to attack Congressmen for playing outseide the rules, there are far better people than McCarthy to attack.
Because she's a leggy, attractive blonde. As someone else said one on of these threads, if Ann Coulter looked like Dorothy Rabinowitz, many of the same people defending Ann would be on the attack against her.
Oh yeah? What about Natalie Maines, Jessica Lange, all the leggy Hollywood blondes that have such nice civil things to say on politics? Why aren't all us horny conservative men defending them too?
But thanks for recognizing that Ann is attractive. However, I'm sure she's hurt that you can't appreciate her for her mind, too...
Has anyone ever mentioned that you debate like a liberal?
There is tons on research on this thread rebutting Rabinowitz and Horowitz point by point. Logical analysis of what they said.
You go to motive. Typical liberal tactic. Ignore the research and facts, go to emotional appeals to what you want others to think our real motives are.
Next you will say we are critizing Horowitz because we want to write a book.
Btw...I happen to think Rabinowitz has a very sexy voice.
Gee, thanks. Y'know, I DID check it out. The person who maintains the site can't distinguish between a "fact" and an opinion. Example:
SLANDER. Journalists are, on the whole, biased to the left. FACT. To help prove this, she says that Rush Limbaugh and his right-wing ilk don't count because they are commentators, not journalists, but does quote liberal commentators such as Maureen Dowd to demonstrate journalists' bias.
Oh, man, Ann, yer busted...
NOT!!!
Calling Natalie Maines or Jessica Lange "leggy" is like saying that Danny DeVito is "leggy." It's just not accurate. And saying that they are "attractive" wouldn't be accurate either. Maines is overweight, and Lange hasn't aged well. But thanks for playing.
But thanks for recognizing that Ann is attractive. However, I'm sure she's hurt that you can't appreciate her for her mind, too...
Um, I'm a heterosexual woman, so I'm not motivated by hormones, unlike many of the guys defending Coulter's every word. And sorry, I can't take anyone seriously who says that Timothy McVeigh's only mistake was not bombing the New York Times building. If Michael Moore had said that McVeigh's only mistake was not bombing the New York Post building, the same freepers who salivate over Ann would be calling for his head on a silver platter.
BS. I argued FACTS with you on another thread -- to wit, that Coulter distorted what Whittaker Chambers said about Joe McCarthy. Instead of conceding those facts, you told me that I should write a book on Chambers. It seems you are the one arguing like a liberal, my friend. And for somebody who's been posting for a grand total of two months, you strut around like you're Ann's bodyguard or something.
Oh, gosh, looks like I'm going to have a hard time finding a hot, leggy liberal blonde out there that a heterosexual woman like you can certify.
Your point's a dumb catty one anyway: none of us defends Ann because he wants to go to bed with her. But I DO get the feeling certain people attack her because she's a "leggy attractive blonde," y'know?
