ANN COULTER: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

by Mia T, 6.11.06


New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton lashed out at Ann Coulter for a "vicious, mean-spirited attack" on a group of outspoken 9/11 widows.... Perhaps her book should have been called 'Heartless.'" the senator said....

The New York Democrat and former first lady said she found it "unimaginable that anyone in the public eye could launch a vicious, mean-spirited attack....

The senator spoke after delivering a speech on protecting children from exposure to sex- and violence-saturated media.

Hillary lashes out at Ann Coulter
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jun 7, 2:09 PM ET





'Before criticizing others for being 'mean' to women, perhaps hillary should talk to her husband who was accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick and was groping Kathleen Willey at the very moment Willey's husband was committing suicide.'

Ann Coulter

 





atire
is most palatable served with a slice of sang-froid. Ann Coulter's is almost always dished out with a slab of red meat ...which consumes it whole.

Coulter's satire--especially when presented in real time--invariably devolves into rant--it becomes personal--and that diminishes her argument.

Mien and technique are problems, too.

The net result is that Ann Coulter is preaching to the choir. Worse, she is recruiting for the enemy; she is turning off, at a minimum, the more milquetoasty subset of the undecideds.

Nonetheless, the only outcomes that that will matter in the end are these:

  1. Ann Coulter exposed--and this dustup confirmed-- The New McCarthyism of the Left

  2. Ann Coulter exposed to the world a harsh truth about hillary clinton:

    • hillary clinton was complicit in the rape of Juanita Broaddrick.

    • hillary clinton abused inconvenient women chronically, reflexively, for 30 years.

    • hillary clinton is no less misogynist, power*-hungry and psychopathic than the husband.

 



* Some say it's not power, but adoration in the case of the husband.

 

 

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.

G. K. Chesterton

 

... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.

These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.

Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary--(an image, incidentally, that is only enhanced today by her clumsy, termagant parody of Thatcher), forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."

It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."

HILLARY'S COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF PROBLEM
(see descriptor morphs)


December 7, 1941+64

AN OPEN LETTER TO TIM ROBBINS, DAVID GEFFEN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, MAUREEN DOWD + JEANINE PIRRO

RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton



Dear Concerned Americans,

Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive.

We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will?

In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst?

Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival.

What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times.

That post has to go on record as one of the longest in FR history!! Geeze...

But that being said - my ultimate political fantasy is for Hitlery and Coulter to square off in a well-run debate. I suspect that Hitlery would come across as fake and angry, while Coulter would beat Hitlery so bad with the FACTS that Hitlery would start a fist fight!

OF course, such a debate will never happen - Coulter has everything to gain (book sales, publicity), while Hitlery has nothing to gain and everything to loose - adn she knows it.

What I noticed from my little corner in Georgia was that the Left, and their accompices in the DBM, were starting to go nuclear over Ann and her new book- then, they got real quiet.

I think they fear too much attention will be drawn to this:


In "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," HUMAN EVENTS legal affairs correspondent Ann Coulter lays out one of the most original and perceptive philosophies on the cult of liberalism.

As Coulter writes:

Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we're not allowed to reply to. That’s why all Democratic spokesmen these days are sobbing, hysterical women. You can't respond to them because that would be questioning the authenticity of their suffering. Liberals haven't changed the message, just the messenger. All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with "absolute moral authority" -- Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child, a wife who works at the CIA, a war record, terminal illness, or as a last resort, being on a first-name basis with Nelson Mandela.
 
"Whenever someone like the Jersey Girls or Sheehan appears, I try to picture wives of the men on the Arizona (Dec 7, 1941) etc behaving that way...  You immediately see them for what they are, opportunists."


...while I've been aware of this dishonest and sleazy tactic for years, Ann has called attention to it on a national level.

Let's clear this up once and for all. The so-called "Jersey Girls" do not occupy some unassailable moral fortress because they were widowed by the events of 9/11. Nor does Cindy Sheehan enjoy critical immunity because she lost a son in Iraq.

The victims of 9/11 were the husbands of the Jersey Girls, not the women themselves. Those men died not because Osama bin Laden singled them out for execution, but on pure random chance. The offense committed on 9/11 wasn't MORE against the widows than anyone else; it was against America ... every ONE of us! That their husbands happened to be working in offices in the Trade Center that day does not endow them with any insulation from criticism.

They gave up the right to respectful silence when they voluntarily used their grief as a platform from which to criticize the administration. They are no longer private, mourning widows, but willing pawns in a partisan battle. As such, they open themselves up to the same level of criticism they bring on their opponents.

It is disingenuous and childish to hurl brickbats, then scamper off whining when one comes back at you.

Everything above is doubly true for Cindy Sheehan, whose son was a voluntary member of the Armed Services, and gave his life in a cause he believed in, even if his mother didn't.

What's "unseemly" here is the exploitation of these dupes by a conscienceless Left, and the implication that the mean-spirited Right is somehow at fault for responding in kind.

The Clinton's are endowed by their enablers with certain alienable rights...among them lies, perjury and the pursuit of power.

The fact is they will never reply to you Mia T, for that is part of their MO...deny, deflect, dismiss.

The fact that Ann dragged the beast into the marketplace of ideas and then beast-slapped her was a tremendous accomplishment.

Hooray to you Mia T.

Hooray to Ann Coulter!

Go Ann Go!
