11/01   "Soldiers are just cowards with their backs against the wall. The
        lowest IQ men in our society, those incapable of normal careers
        enlist. Their choice in life; prison or the military. Some will
        have to die in the support of our cause."
        Ann Coulter - Intervention Magazine, 11/06/03
        \_ Ah, making quotes up again.
           \_ Actually, no, but thanks for playing.
              \_ Then you can support the claim that she wrote that?
                 Seriously, after doing some searching, I can find no source
                 for this except a random blog or two.  It smells like an urban
                 legend.
              \_ According to this page, it was Madonna who said this
  http://iammadonna.oracleswar.com/2006/08/never-underestimate-power-of-me.html
                 \_ No, that page says Ann Coulter said it.
                    \_ Actually, it says "Ann Cuntier".  Don't know if they're
                       the same.
                 \_ Yeah, I think people like Ann Coulter are exactly what
                    is wrong with this country, but I cannot find any
                    evidence she actually said this.
                    \_ She is not what is wrong with the country.  She is
                       merely a symptom.  When politics turns into smears
                       and extreme polarization, you get AC types on both
                       sides cashing in.  She didn't cause it.
                 \_ The fact that you cannot find any source for this is
                    all part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to cover up
                    the tru7h about the "hundreds" of war crimes committed
                    by the Bush BrownShirts against dissents. The Bush
                    BrownShirts have removed all negative statments made
                    by members of The Cabal in an effort to keep you from
                    discovering the tru7h. -fmulder
                    \_ I believe!  I believe!
        \_ I'll accept that AC is a fool who should never be elected to
           anything if you'll accept that John Kerry and those who supported
           him in 2004 should never be elected to anything.
           \_ Only if you'll accept that anyone who actually supports AC is
              dangerous and probably criminal and ought to be in jail.
              \_ Sure.  No one 'supports' AC.  She is a noise maker who
                 writes books for the freeper crowd for cash.  But no I can't
                 support sending her to jail.  Maybe in China that flies but
                 we still have free speech in this country and she has broken
                 no laws I'm aware of.  Remember that silly old thing about
                 not agreeing with you but willing to die for your right to
                 say it?  Oh, nevermind.
                        \_ get real.  What Republican ever said that?  Only
                           the liberals ever did... you're going to be screwed
                           once I get ahold of you.  Even the liberals won't be
                           able to save you.
                           \_ What Republican?  Do you *really* have no idea
                              who I was paraphrasing?  Damn... Is the state
                              of education really that poor today?  And I'm
                              going to be screwed?  Is this like a school yard
                              "I'm going to beat you up" thing?
                              \_ You *do* know that Voltaire was a liberal,
                                 right?
                                 \_ What about him?  I hope you're not saying
                                    you're going to send him around "once you
                                    get ahold of" me to beat me up.  ;-)
                 \_ Please. If you're going to condition your acceptance with
                    silly clauses about including anyone who supported Kerry,
                    you've already propelled the conversation out of the realm
                    of reason. Let's take this to its conclusion: gas Anne
                    Coulter and her ilk.
                    \_ "I don't like what she says so she must die".  When
                       that becomes an acceptable idea in this country held
                       by anyone not in some psychotic extremist group then
                       the whole democracy+freedom experiment thing is over
                       and failed as well.

3/5     Like it or not, Michelle Malkin is a lot wealthier and
        financially savvy than most of you ranting liburals out there:

10/9    Will Glen Beck's head explode?
        \_ Oh, I'm sure he'll rant and rave.  What else is new?
           Of course, giving Obama the peace prize is dumb, but it's a step
           up from Al Gore.  At least a dozen steps up from Arafat.

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.

Material profanity count: 796 Material "fuck" count: 308 Material PORNOGRAPHY count: 2 Material Photoshop count: 3 Material Biography Gonna Dress You Up In My Links... Sunday, August 20, 2006 Never underestimate the power of me! Since later today, that noted criminal Dita will perform in Germany (and, of course, be watched by prosecutors via the media), I figure now is a good time to take one last look at Crossgate - For now... Besides, I figured this was too good to not keep around, since Chris will probably rotate the clip off his profile in the near future. Here is the transcript of what Chris said on the matter: "If you spend any time or energy this week complaing about Madonna singing a song on a crucifix, then you are my Loser Of The Week. The reality is that there are so many monstrosities in this world, like preemptive wars without cause killing thousands of our best and brightest, domestic violence at an all-time high, and teenage pregnency continues to soar. But you don't care about any of that, because some forty seven year old attention-starved bimbo jumped on a crucifix to sing a song. Wake up and devote your energies to a cause that might save a life! Just because your boy Reverend Falwell and your string-pulling masters at Fox News tell you that it's an outrage doesn't mean you need to jump, you Kool-Aid drinking lemming! If you only got so outraged about the real problems facing this world, you might not be such a LOSER!" First off, let me comment on the "attention-starved bimbo" part. It's not like she was bumping and grinding, or screaming "FUCK THE VATICAN!" What IS tasteless is the manner in which she's being tarred, feathered, grilled and baked by the media over an ARTISTIC STATEMENT. Now that I got my two grievaneces with Chris' rant out of the way... Isn't it amazing how so many people act like Esther's performance is some huge deal and worth getting worked up about - all the while, they don't give a damn about the war in Iraq, domestic violence and other REAL LIFE problems that affect their everyday lives? What is more harmful: Madonna on the cross, or George W Bush's domestic and foreign policies? But, after all, it's far easier to gripe, bitch and attack an entertainer than devote time and energy toward real problems. And, as I've said before, she's been a very popular target since 9/11 - since, after all, terrorists don't hate our country the way liberals do... Speaking of The Cuntiergeist, would someone please explain to me how everyone can sure raise holy hell over that evil, offensive cross that is responsible for all the sin in the world, but nobody in the so-called "liberal" media seems to give a flying fuck about what Cuntiergeist says? I mean, let me share a couple quotes with you from the right wing streetwalker herself that I found about 10,000,000 times more offensive that a crown of thorns and a giant mirrored crucifix: "US soldiers who die in Iraq knew they would. Most of them couldn't get a decent job in the private sector anyway, so what does it matter? "Soldiers are just cowards with their backs against the wall. The lowest IQ men in our society, those incapable of normal careers enlist. Talk about a complete and utter lack of compassion and respect for human life! Yet, The Right wants to tell the masses that it's the liberals who don't "support our troops" and "hate America". Well, I have yet to hear any famous liberal spew this kind of hatred toward our troops. They're sickened over the loss of life in the Middle East - both ours AND the tens of thousands of dead civilians. They want the war to end so NOBODY else dies - rich, poor, white, black, whatever. But, when Ann Cuntier says something hateful and vicious like this, nobody in the press seems to bat an eye - because she's not only conservative, but their too busy gawking at her giraffe legs. The Righties can attack people like me for opposing the war on the grounds I "don't support" the troops, but they don't give a shit when someone basically says they deserved to die and they were "worthless" anyway? Really puts the Madonna bashing into perspective, doesn't it? Really makes them look like the band of self-righteous hypocrites they really are when they can go on and on about the fucking cross, but Ann Cuntiergeist gets free pass after free pass. I mean, how many offensive comments has Esther made about our soldiers? How much hatred has SHE spewed to the media since 9/11 (and, no, her performance of "Live To Tell" is NOT hatred)?
