3/15 No, really.
Just out of curiousity, does anyone think Ann Coulter is
anything but psychotic? "Liberals relentlessly oppose the
military, the Pledge of Allegiance, the flag, and national
defense..." Does anyone truly believe any single portion
of this sentence? -scotsman
\_ disclaimer 1: I am not a conservative.
disclaimer 2: I don't read Coulter, Franken, Moore or the rest of
the moron brigade publishing books of a certain kind.
It seems like your objection is to Coulter lumping _all_ liberals
with those liberals who do oppose "the military" etc. It does seem
a little unfair, but I remember a conversation we had recently where
you did the same thing with conservatives and the
ultra-religious-right. -- ilyas
\_ Actually, no. I don't think there are any liberals except the
anarchists and the naive that "oppose the military". I think
we all recognize the need for a strong military. And I'd like
to see a transcript where I lumped all conservatives with the
religious right. --scotsman
you did the same thing with conservatives and ultra-religious-right.
\_ <ilyas> although it's a little disingenious to lump pat with
conservatives in general
<ilyas> that's like me yelling "LIBERALS WANT TO INSTITUTE
MAXIMUM WAGE!"
<scotsman> the conservatives have lumped him in with
themselves
So naturally, the conservatives lump Mr. Buchanan with their
mainstream, but the liberals are far too smart to lump their
extremist shriekers with their mainstream, right ben?

\_ Do you have the rest of that discussion? I admit that was
really ... poorly played on my part. BTW, someone overwrote
specifics of this sentence or that partial out of context quote,
it is your whole ultra-left world view she's talking about. i find
an edit to my previous post. I didn't mean for it to be
so heavy handed. --scotsman
\_ yes, absolutely. you're so far left and so blinded by your
beliefs and closed minded that you seem to actually believe that
someone with a different view from yours must be psychotic. you
are *exactly* the sort of person she's always railing against so
of course you can't see yourself in it. it isn't about the
specifics of this sentence or that partial out of context quote,
it is your whole ultra-left world view she's talking about. i find
\_ Nice dodge! +10 points.
\_ post the full quote in context and we'll talk about it.
i would never ask you to discuss a partial "..." pseudo
quote. it's ridiculous to ask.
\_ I posted plenty for an easy google. It's out of her
introduction, and requires no other context. -scotsman
it funny that the left calls the right evil and psychotic and a
bunch of other things which are all pure ad hominen whereas the
right spends their time saying the left is wrong and exactly how
so. if you'd ever actually read coulter or listened to rush or
saw hannity's show or a long list of others you won't find the
sort of outrageous "everyone who doesn't think like me is insane"
and "i can't believe anyone else could possibly believe this stuff"
agenda that you're pushing. have a cookie, it's the only one i'll
feed you today.
\_ The first half of my query was obviously hyperbolic to set the
tone. I'm glad you bought it. --scotsman
\_ *laugh* wow you are *sooooo* clever! just because you signed
your post doesn't mean you're a) not a troll or b) have
anything to say worth responding to. you did manage to waste
about 2 minutes of my life responding but it was worth it to
get this final ridiculous reply. why bother posting at all?
now that i know you're a troll-who-signs i wont be feeding
you anymore.
\_ See, the thing is, if you buy Coulter's line, then
dialectic between the left and right is meaningless
(which I am not yet cynical enough to believe). --scotsman
\_ Perfect example of Coulterism in action! Attack the questioner
without answering any of the charges/questions. Bravo! That
Coulterite! God forbid you should back up your "yes,
absolutely" with any reasoning.
was unexpected and perfect. --blind motd liberal freak
\_ It was all answered. go read it again. what does "yes,
absolutely" mean to you, trollboy? sheesh. it's right there
for god's sake. are you really that stupid or really that
blind?
\_ More ad hominen attacks! Excellent! Keep piling it on,
Coulterite! God forbid you should back up your "yes,
absolutely" with any reasoning.
\_ OP didn't ask for any reasoning, only if anyone
ridiculous degree, which has caused this country to become
extremely polarized, and THAT is a real problem.
believed Coulter. The answer was given immediately
and with no waffling. It isn't ad hominen if I've
already answered your questions in full and *then*
insult your intelligence or integrity. i'm done. i've
fed you enough cookies. twice you've added nothing
and ignored my replies despite giving you full answers.
\_ the whole premise of the thread is idiotic anyway.
whether anyone here likes it or not, her books are
bestsellers, which means that lots of people like
her enough to buy her books, which presumably
means they don't all think she is psychotic.
\_ she sells books because she's hot.
\_ ok then why is rush popular? he sure as hell
isn't hot. he's a fat ugly froggy bastard.
\_ Her books consist of repeatedly setting up straw
men and knocking them down with unresearched
one-liners. She has poor writing skills. The real
laugh is to catch her in a live appearance, where
she's not ruling the forum. She's not capable of
reasoned discourse at all.
\_ fine. i agree. that's not the point, though.
the premise of this thread is that it's up
for debate whether *someone* doesn't think
she's a psycho idiot. While that someone
is not me or you, that there are many such
someones is not an open question.
\_ Actually, the question was "Does anyone
here believe any part of that sentence?"
At least the reasonable part... --scotsman
\_ re-read your own post.
\_ Think for a second. Is "Anne Coulter
is psychotic!" a reasonable statement,
or is it trollbait? The statement
that she made is thoroughly
indefensible and patently false. But
calling her psychotic is very clearly
hyperbole. --scotsman
\_ Both extreme left and right demonize their counterparts to a
ridiculous degree, which has caused this country to become
extremely polarized, and THAT is a real problem.
\_ She's not psychotic. She comes from a long tradition of gaining
popularity through giving voice to peoples more base impulses
and thoughts - she has counterparts on the left, though I think
she may win in the "over the top" department (Joe McCarthy a hero?!)
Just another symptom of how cartoonish and idiotic our politics
have become. That said, I think she also scores on novelty
factor because she looks like barbie and spits vitriol.
\_ This deserves the "Well Said" Award of the Day.
\_ AC's book is revealing. It will inspire a new generation of
patriots who will cleanse this country of any and all liberals once
and for ever! She is the mother and pin-up of all true
conservatives.
