Coulter at it again

[Bro. Curtis]

Hey M.P....you know that gin-swilling hound you have as an avatar ? Check out this conversation he had with Stewie....

Stewie: (Stewie and Brian kissing) I am so gay!
Brian: Yeah I'm a homo.
Army Guy: Any room for one more?
Stewie: Hell yeah!

I enjoy most of Ann Coulter's political commentaries and I plan to continue reading them. I don't agree with her - nor anyone else - all the time but find that she usually gets it correct to the great disdain of those of opposite political views. She remains a voice for conservative political viewpoints.

Since there's no evidence to the contrary I must believe that the descriptor used by Ann Coulter does not literally fit John Edwards and shouldn't have been used. She's free to say what she wants but, in this case, I don't believe it was a good choice of word. John Edwards has, however, stated that he didn't believe homosexual conduct was sinful and, perhaps, that support for such conduct was a factor in Ann Coulter's choice of words. Perhaps she views his indirect support of homosexual behavior as worthy of the descriptor.[SIZE=+1]

The word used by Coulter has been deemed offensive by homosexuals and, in turn, offends those who've ruled it is improper for the rest of us to use the word or to express any unkind feelings at all about that behavior. The new term "gay" was invented to be more palatable. The goal is to validate the behavior by outlawing any condemnation of it. The only acceptable words are words that normalize, complement or, at the very least, empathize. [/SIZE]

A much bigger fuss will be made over this than of calling someone a liar, cheater, idiot, bigot, racist, warmonger, etc. all of which attack a person's character justly or unjustly depending upon the truth.

There's no real desire for an apology from Ann Coulter because, if fact, the opposition is probably grateful for the "attack" and is hopeful it can maximize condemnation by the public through wide coverage in the media. There's a desire to elevate her comment to the status of a "hate crime" against all humanity.

Aside from Ann Coulter's comment and as for the word itself, it is an expression of disgust with the behavior and, to that end, it's a good word - a strong word like many others - that shouldn't be banned from usage by the political speech police or the supporters of the behavior. It's a derogatory word for a homosexual or effeminate man. The fact that a non-derogatory word is desired for such conduct is an indication that we're no longer able to describe something for what it is. Homosexual conduct merits a derogatory descriptor.

She has no reason to apologize. She has a right to say what she wants to under the Constitution. The last thing I would want is some kind of government interference in her right to speak.

I find her very abrasive and obnoxious at times, but she speaks truth. She could make the same points without the names, but that is just my opinion.

No, the way to get her or Limbaugh or Michael Moore out of the limelight is for people to stop paying attention to them. When the ratings stop, they will go away. Until then, the fact they are still around says someone wants to hear them.

She's selling tons of books.

Sometimes she cracks me up.:laugh: I can feel the impotent rage of liberals rumbling thru the earth like an earthquake.

Michael Moore can't compete. She's much smarter.:thumbs:

I not so convinced of that in this particular instance!

Agreed. No suggestion otherwise from me that's for sure!

I like what she has to say most of the time. She doesn't seem so abrasive to me.

 

[777]

Liberals don't like it when an avowed conservative uses invective similar to theirs against them.

Kinda funny, really.:laugh:

She did apologize, wonder if Bill Maher has yet for saying everybody'd be better off if Cheney were dead?

"C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean."

Uhhh, Bill didn't say that. If you watched the show in question you would have known that.

Oops: somebody just got smoked.....again.

So what exactly did he say ?

" "I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact."

And he has a right to say that, however numb it makes him appear. Cheney sure didn't invent killing people. I like it when Maher says stuff like that. I want him to continue. Seems like the left should want Ann to continue, with all the damage she supposedly does to the right.

 

[Terry_Herrington]

Uhhh, Bill didn't say that. If you watched the show in question you would have known that.

I watched the show and you are correct, Bill Maher did not advocated nor did he wish evil on Cheney; however, when he had this conversation, I said to my self that there would probably be some Swiftboating by many on the right-wing fringes.

Gotta love the humor of "The Family Guy". It is one of the funniest shows on TV. And if you watch it, you know that neither Brian nor Stewie are gay. Besides, Stewie's a baby and Brian's an anthropomorphic dog!

 

[777]

I didn't even think it was possible to "swiftboat" Bill Maher. He was just joking, of course.

My opinion of John Edwards has just shot up - being opportunistic is synonomous with being a trial lawyer:

Friday afternoon, Republican mouthpiece Ann Coulter brought hate-speech politics to a new low.
This video shows Coulter addressing the American Conservative Union's Political Action Conference, March, 2, 2007 in Washington, D.C.

We must show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire.

Can you help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry?

The video there won't work for me - it skips and stutters. But, yeah, she's reenergized his campaign.

Somebody tell this dumb ole conservative exactly what the difference between what Maher said, and what 777 says he said ?

Sorry, I can't watch it. It's entirely too vulgar for me, and I'm a pretty hard guy to offend. I knew though, after the two or three minuites I did watch, that I could find them making fun of gays. I knew they weren't gay. They are making fun of gays, and being gay.

You can watch it, though. I wasn't all that impressed. I'm just pointing out that they make fun of gay people, and yet you only get offended when certain people do it.

It's just political leveraging by exagerating statements from right wing or left wing and twisting it to suit their needs.
Good news is Bro Curtis is that you and I and everbody else will be O.K. if we just stick with the truth and let the pollitical hacks devour themselves.

Actually they are not so much making fun of gay people than they are parodying certain segments of American culture. I have a gay coworker who actually likes the show as well. It certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it gives me more laughs than anything on TV. Still, I would not watch it in the presence of someone who would stumble because of it. As a matter of fact, if my avatar offends you Brother Curtis, I will change it.

Keep it, if you want. Just have a little consistency in your outrage.

So, is it your position that calling Limbaugh a pig is justified, while Coulter is a witch from hell ? I don't wanna assume anything.

Why don't people answer questions ?
