7/20 Ann Coulter really doesn't like Roberts
http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3acj.htm
Roberts' "footnote to a 1994 law review article that said: '... In the
interest of even fuller disclosure, he would also like to point out
that his views as a commentator on those cases do not necessarily
reflect his views as an advocate for his former client, the United
States.' This would have been the legal equivalent, after O.J.'s
acquittal, of Johnnie Cochran saying, 'hey, I never said the guy was
innocent. I was just doing my job.' ... Finally, lets ponder the fact
that Roberts has gone through 50 years on this planet without ever
saying anything controversial. That's just unnatural."
\_ Ann of Green Goebbels doesn't like him? Shocker!
\_ She's probably just trying to get him elected. ("Ann Coulter doesn't
like him? Quick, vote him in!")
\_ Exactly, my first thought was "maybe he's not a rightwing nut" --
if Coulter doesn't like him. He seems to be a reasonable choice
from everything I've read/heard.
\_ I also heard that floating Edith Clement for two straight days
was a Roveian plot to take the Dems by surprise with the real
nomination.
\_ My guess is that Coulter is gearing up for the "I told you so" in
case he pisses off the base later on (Souter). If he's more to the
right than Thomas, then everyone will forget Coulter's original
article and will be latching onto her new article, "See!! He's a
fucking genious and he agrees 100% with us so that makes us all
geniuses! America needs more real men like John C. Roberts!1!"
If you have the "loyalty" of Coulter's fan-base, it's always
win-win. -op
\_ More to the point, this is precisely why Bush nominated him: he'll
stir up enough controversy that we'll forget about Rove's
involvement in treason.
\_ Yeah, that's precisely it. -- ilyas
\_ I say it's a great side effect that protects his old buddy and
general, not the main reason. He could have nominated Janice
Rodgers Brown if he really wanted to see and break the
filibuster. Then again you could say Dubya created enough
goodwill nominating Roberts that people would stop being so
pissed off and forget about Rove. Side effect.
The main point is that Roberts could be the next Rehnquist,
and this could last for decades. (I'm not saying there's
something necessarily wrong with that, don't read too deeply.)
\_ Ah, unless he's saving up Rodgers Brown to replace Rehnquist.
\_ We know that he rushed the nomination to get the press talking
about something else, but I can't imagine a less controversial
nominee. We will start talking about the Plame thing again
once Fitzgerald starts issuing indictments.
\_ Speaking of Ms. Tax Free Dick, she's been accused of plaigarism:

\- look, ann COULTER's "objective function" is to distinguish
herself from the pack of her ideological brethren by saying
extreme and freakish things. these weird women who have
watermelon sized breast implants arent under any illusions
they are attractive ... ann COULTER like those other freaks
is in fact putting on a freak show. i suppose in both cases
they find "true fans" on sloda. |

Stealth nominees have never turned out to be a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Coulter continues: It means nothing that Roberts wrote briefs arguing for the repeal of Roe v Wade when he worked for Republican administrations . He was arguing on behalf of his client, the United States of America. Roberts has specifically disassociated himself from those cases, droppin g a footnote to a 1994 law review article that said: In the interest of full disclosure, the author would like to point out th at as Deputy Solicitor General for a portion of the 1992-93 Term, he was involved in many of the cases discussed below. In the interest of even fuller disclosure, he would also like to point out that his views as a c ommentator on those cases do not necessarily reflect his views as an adv ocate for his former client, the United States. This would have been the legal equivalent, after OJ's acquittal, of Joh nnie Cochran saying, "hey, I never said the guy was innocent. And it makes no difference that conservatives in the White House are assu ring us Roberts can be trusted. We got the exact same assurances from of ficials working for the last president Bush about David Hackett Souter. From the theater of the absurd category, the Republican National Committe es talking points on Roberts provide this little tidbit: In the 1995 case of Barry v Little, Judge Roberts arguedfree of chargebe fore the DC Court of Appeals on behalf of a class of the neediest welf are recipients, challenging a termination of benefits under the District s Public Assistance Act of 1982. I'm glad to hear the man has a steady work record, but how did this make it to the top of his resume? Finally, lets ponder the fact that Roberts has gone through 50 years on t his planet without ever saying anything controversial. If a smart and accomplished person goes this long without expressing an o pinion, they'd better be pursuing the Miss America title. |

RAW STORY examination found Coulter's work to be at worst plagiarism and at best a cut-and-paste repetition of points authored by conservati ve religious groups in the early 1990s. These groups sought to de-fund t he National Endowment for the Arts, detailing projects paid for by the N EA they dubbed obscene. Click Here The campaign traces back to an assault on the NEA mounted by the American Family Association in 1989. Jesse Helms (R-NC) slipped an amen dment into a Senate bill that would have axed federal funding for obscen e art. She lists various identical obscene projects she says taxpayers have f unded. All of the excerpts below compare this column with earlier texts. Coulter : "A photo of a newborn infant with its mouth open titled to sug gest the infant was available for oral sex." The Flummery Digest: "The title of a photo of a newborn infant with its mouth open suggested that the infant was available for oral sex." included 'Alchemy Cabinet' by Shawn Eichman, featuring the remains of the artist's own ab orted baby." Coulter: "Performance of giant bloody tampons, satanic bunnies, three-fo ot feces and vibrators." written by Boston Globe col umnist Jeff Jacoby in 1995 for the same column. inserting a speculum into her vagina and inviting audience members on stage to view her cervix with a flashlight." Coulter: "A photo of a newborn infant with its mouth open titled to sugg est the infant was available for oral sex." Counterpoint: 3 (1984) "The title of a photo of a newborn infant sugges ted the infant was available for oral sex." Coulter: "A show titled 'DEGENERATE WITH A CAPITAL D' featuring a displa y of the remains of the artist's own aborted baby." Coulter: "A novel depicting the sexual molestation of a group of 10 chil dren in a pedophile's garage, including acts of bestiality, with the ch ildren commenting on how much they enjoyed the pedophilia." a novel titled Saturday Night at San Marcos relates the sexual molestation of 10 children in a pedophile's garage, including acts of bestiality, and how much they enjoyed the pedophile's games." Coulter: "A female performer inserting a speculum into her vagina and in viting audience members on stage to view her cervix with a flashlight." inserting a speculum into her vagina, invites members on stage to view her cervix with a flashli ght." Out of seven examples listed in Counterpoint, Coulter snapped up four. Art Lessons: Learning from the Rise and Fall of Public Arts Funding as the source fo r the list. As expected, items from Coulter's list appeared in Marquis' book as well (Marquis, Art Lessons, pp. Marquis: The show exhibited explicit photographs of group sex, of priest s in sadomasochistic poses, and of an infant at the breast titled Jesus Sucks. Marquis: Various performances in Carnival Knowledge included a lesbian i nserting her foot into another lesbian's vagina, an eighty-six-year-old woman boasting of sexual adventures with teenagers, and two women disc ussing fellatio and swallowing human semen. Marquis: In 1985, Thunder's Mouth Press received $25,000 to publish expe rimental novels, including Saturday Night at San Marcos, which describe d a pedophile molesting ten children in his garage and the victims' ple asure in sex games. Marquis: Johanna Went was funded in 1983, 1985, and 1987 for a series of performances with props such as dildos, giant bloody tampons, and thre e-foot turds. Coulter caught the public eye after allegations that she had carried the Linda Tripp tapes between Tripp and Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr dur ing the Clinton impeachment. Coulter, who admitted to having heard the t apes before Starr was even aware of them, was also implicated in several other controversies involving the Clintons ', including the Paula Jones case. The right-wing pundit was fired in 1997 from MSNBC for verbally attacking a Vietnam vet on air. She was dropped from The National Review in 2002 for slandering the publication on the national talk show circuit. Coulter has drawn fire lately from both conservatives and liberals for he r verbal attacks on victims of 9/11, women's groups and Muslims. On Wedn esday, she savaged President Bush's Supreme Court pick John Roberts. |
