NJ Democrats try to ban Ann Coulter's book

[Carl N. Brown]

When you get past the inflammatory rhetoric,
Coulter does a better job of nailing her facts
than Al Franken who still has to invoke the
"Satire is protected free speech" defence.

And Coulter did not attack all 9/11 widows.

 

[Camp David]

Ann Coulter may be right on the issue, but wrong on the personal attack.

I am extremely sad that many conservatives have lost the cajones to speak out on needed issues; indeed Ms. Coulter, Mrs. Malkin, and Ms. Ingraham are some of the few conservatives speaking out today! We need more.

Personal attack? Have you even listened to some of the rhetoric the left uses on a routine basis? They all de rigeur refer to our president as a terrorist! Coulter did not refer to all the victims of the 09/11/01 terrorist attack, nor did she refer to all the survivors; instead she refered to four (4) NJ politicos (The Jersey Girls) who have become a mouthpiece for the liberal left, a la Cindy Sheehan routine...

And to Coulter's larger issue, re: The Church of Liberalism, she is spot on with her comments on the secular! Bravo Ann!

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Malkin is magnificent: makes her points without getting personal.

I bet Coulter fans order their steaks rare and Malkin fans order
their steaks well-done.

 

[boofus]

Rare? I eat the meat right off the cow.

I like Ann because she tells it exactly the way she sees it. She doesn't waste time mincing words or trying to not offend those who would be offended by everything. Political correctness is about the closest thing to 'thought crime' there is, and she tosses it right out the window.

In my case, yes, I like my steaks and my columns well-done. Malkin is smarter, more interesting and looks better. The press can't give Malkin much bad publicity; they don't want their minority followers to know they can leave the leftist reservation.

 

[Biker]

I too enjoy Malkin's work, and yup, she's prettier.

So what if her book is #1?

Michael Moore's movie was #1 in America.. That does that automatically make him some credible authority on anything. Likewise for Coulter.

50 Cent is laughing all the way to the bank by rapping about pimping and selling cocaine. Just cause he's making money doesnt make him right. Likewise for Coulter.

But you still haven't said that she is[/i] wrong. You've merely said circumstances don't make her right automatically, which is true, and a strawman, as most arguments from the left are.

No distraction, however, will work to veil from smart people the fact that you are avoiding the main question, out of a lack of knowledge to refute it.

Ann Coulter is saying what needs to be said, how it needs to be said. She is a blessing to America, and she's no Bushbot, either.

Leftists need to wake up and realize that they will never trick us into voting for their candidates, or losing sight of the fact that the RIGHT wing is right in every sense of the word. No amount of "see, there's plenty of leftist gun owners--we're just like you!" portrayals will succeed in blinding us to the fact that leftists in office confiscate gun rights, period. It's what they do.

I love Ann Coulter as she wacks her way through the "touchy Feely" liberals! Bring it on Ann!

 

[GoRon]

Coulter can say whatever the hell she wants to. But I for one have far better things to do than read the nazi rants and ravings of another religious nutbag Conservative.

Your first post is decidedly not High Road.

Welcome to to THR, hope you have more in your tool bag than using "Nazi" references and insulting Christians.

Ann is pro gun from what I can tell.

Judge my posts all you want to. Did I insult Christians in that post? No, I didn't, especailly seeing as how I am one.

Yeah, Ann is pro gun. There are such things as pro-gun people who are nuts.

Very Good. Goodbye.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

While I personally have no idea why anyone would want to read a bitter transsexual man's rantings and Tourette's-like foaming for attention, I agree with other posters.

Censorship = bad.
Boycott = fine.

Wow...Bravo...Truly High Road.

So if Ann were to be actually a transexual man or suffer from a disease, would her/his observations then matter or NOT matter? I'm confusedly bouncing around in an ad-himonem conundrum.

Why is it that any mention of boycott (not anything even remotely CLOSE to censorship) of...say,,, a George Clooney movie is immediately denounced as "knee-jerk" and "extreme"?

Seems to me that Thomas Paine had the same problems as Ann. I appreciate that she is willing to BBQ the new sacred cows.

More power to her.

And if you agree with EVERYTHING some other person says...you are merely wasting O2.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

I am also rather curious if everyone posting has ever even read Ms. Coulter.

Don't cost ya nothin'

"Sadly for the MSM, the Silent Majority is silent no more."

 

[longeyes]

Exposing and deriding fools should be the preoccupation of any gentle man or woman. That is how society advances and elevates its standards. If Ann is God's hammer, albeit swathed in velvet, so be it. With the amount of shamelessness and sheer lunacy on the Left today the only wonder is that Coulter lacks for more spiritual brothers and sisters. We need a phalanx of verbal warriors to deal with the arrant nonsense of our times.

 

[Krauser]

Censorship of the book isn't necessary, nor is censorship for anything. A boycott of it is an acceptable thing. I think it is funny almost every Conservative thinks she's got brains and smarts after such quotes as "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity", "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building", (To a disabled Vietnam vet): "People like you caused us to lose that war", and "If those kids had been carrying guns they would have gunned down this one [child] gunman." - Wait a minute... of course they think she's got brains, because that's Conservative thinking.

It's a sad world we live in.

 

[Desertdog]

Krauser,
I thought that you said

Coulter can say whatever the hell she wants to. But I for one have far better things to do than read the nazi rants and ravings of another religious nutbag Conservative.

So why are you back on THR??

 

[Krauser]

There's a difference in legal terms between "She can say whatever the hell she wants to" and "I think it is funny almost every Conservative thinks she's got brains and smarts after such quotes as-", if that's for some reason what you're saying.

In terms of hearing/seeing her rants, I guess I should have put that as "I wish to hear no more of her nutbag Conservative rants. I've seen what this person is like, and refuse her the opportunity to have me bought into any of her views". There. That better?

 

[The_Antibubba]

I doesn't matter how accurate the message is if you can't stand the messenger. I have tuned her and her acid-dripping invective out.

 

[Krauser]

Haha. Antibubba. Just out of curiosity, does that have anything to do with Bubba The Love Sponge?

[Hayward Juhbuzzoff]

Franken isn't really a good comparison to Coulter, because he doesn't really take the partisanship to the same level of sheer hate.

Ward Churchill, the professor who called the 9/11 victims nazis, is a better comparison to Coulter, as far as over-the-top spewing of divisive inflammatory nonsense. Coulter's errors, unfounded allegations, mistakes, an so on, have been well-documented. Google "ann coulter lies" and you'll have no shortage of reading material.

That said, she and others of her ilk like Churchill, should always have the right to spew... and anyone who wishes to organize a boycott of her books is likewise free to do so.

 

[Desertdog]

You overlook the fact that Churchill is a Government (Schoo/College) employee, thus being paid with tax money.

Ann Coulter is a Free Enterprise Employee, thus being paid what she earns from the sales of her book. No tax money involved except what she has to pay to the Taxman who turns around and gives a certain amount of it to Ward Churchill.

 

[Leanwolf]

CRAZED SS - "Michael Moore's movie was #1 in America.."


No it wasn't. Not even close.

Did it make millions for Moore?? Sure. But # 1 box office?? Huh uh.

L.W.

 

[Art Eatman]

Well, this went Low Road, for sure. Reinforces my notion that any thread over two or three pages generally goes to garbage.
