I have a feeling that there's an outbreak of envy infecting the right and the left!

Ann rocks and is probably having a good laugh over this too since she is a lurker here on FR. It's a great shot of her on that parody. She loves beagles. It is one of the cutest looking dog breeds there are even though it is hound and a hunter and will tear small furry animals like rabbits to shreds. That's what they were bred for. They say dog owners resemble their dogs in some ways. Good looking but can bite. :)

You can't take a joke. This parody is hardly an ideological assault. Undoubtedly she laughed when she saw it while you just plain don't get it.

[MEG33]

How special...you went to all that trouble to sign up and show your concern that 50 years of the big LIE is being exposed.

[JusPasenThru]

Whoa, my friend! I have a feeling you better put on your asbestos underwear in a big hurry.

[kipj]

onwisconsin just signed up today. Nice remark for a newbie.

[xp38]

I feel Zottage in the air. Bring on the VKs.

[Scenic Sounds]

Do either of you think Ann's as tough and nasty as she wants us to think? ;-)

It's important to not go overboard in defending McCarthy

There were Communists--actual Soviet agents--in the State Department. Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

And the truth is that Truman, and certainly FDR, actually thought that. It wasn't that they were oblivious to evidence against Soviet agents in their government nearly as much as it was that they did not view that possibility with alarm.

The reality is that FDR liked the Soviet Union better than he liked Britain, and started seriously wanting to get into the war against Hitler when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. Read The New Dealers' War by self-described Truman Democrat Thomas Flemming; he's upfront about most of the above. Notably missing from his account, in which he states that FDR had the Navy harassing U-boats in the Atlantic "throughout the summer of 1941" is the date of Hitler's attack on Stalin--June 22,1941. Sounds amazingly close to the first day of summer, doesn't it?

The book opens with an account of a brouhaha now otherwise forgotten--the publication in a Chicago paper of the War Department's plan--such as it was--for fighting the Axis. This was somewhat controversial because lots of Americans didn't know anyone who wanted the US to enter WWII. Public sentiment ran 80% against it, so the idea of a government plan to have a million Americans under arms was a bit off-the-wall. There was a protest of that plan by the FDR Administration the following Sunday. December 7, 1941 . . .

What a stroke of luck for FDR! The isolationists--representing the preponderant sentiment in the country--were protesting the idea of fighting WWII just as bombs were falling on Pearl Harbor!

The chief suspect of the leak to the Chicago paper went on to have a fine career in the Army. And as we only learned decades later, FDR had had warning before the leak occurred of what the Japanese mission had been ordered to say at a specific hour on December 7 . . .

Print up the headline, hold it up in the Senate:

FDRKNEW!He called the ball, the shot, and the pocket. And then went to work shipping war supplies to--Joe Stalin and the Soviet Union.

"What a bunch of envious, jealous, bitter, cheap b@st@rds."

Come back when you find that sense of humor.

[=Intervention=]

Coulter, if nothing else, is intelligent, and her writing shows it. Have you ever read something she's written, or does that interfere with your DNC-approved daily dose of Daschle? What evidence do you have that she was sleeping with the publisher of Penthouse? What evidence do you have that she was sleeping around, in general? Surely you have superior knowledge, and here is your opportunity to enlighten us all...

[RaceBannon]

You're right!

[Bluntpoint]

Even if this "hit" piece was put together by a bunch of "audio-visual" pansys... it is still funny.

With friends like Coulter, conservatives don't need any enemies

With friends like you, conservatives don't need enemies. 'Tis liberals that smear public figures with vile accusations and no substantiation, not right-wingers.

[George W. Bush]

I suspect the humor in this parody piece will be lost on most of the Coulter Cult. In a sense, she has almost become a parody of herself. Personally, I enjoy her guts and her in-your-face style and her quick wit.

I suspect that if the libs had a similar writer in their ranks, the Coulter Cult would be able to see the humor of it more readily. But then, when was the last time Helen Thomas wore a tiny black cocktail dress in public? Probably back when she was ol' Joe Kennedy's sex toy.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I don't know if McCarthy was a saint, but he certainly was right about much of what he said.

[MarkL]

Ann Coulter is an idiot. I'm a conservative and she is a tramp. Spreading the craziness that McCarthy was a saint! With friends like Coulter, conservatives don't need any enemies. And by the way, if liberals are traitors, then why was she sleeping with Bob Guccione, Jr. for so long?

Been here since today, huh? Boy, are you in trouble! lol
