Neo-conservatives, no real conservative in the mold of the old right such as those who opposed the fascism of Franklin Roosevelt, would give her the time of day.

See The American Conservative for examples.

You're funny too, Island. If you spin it fast enough, then you can reach this conclusion. But in reality, I'd ask you whether her remarks, at this particular convention, using the term she used........

........is not outrageous? Let's just answer that question. I've heard plenty of folks say "Yeah but he once said something that was even worse! Okay. Now back to the question:

AC's remark. It was appropriate? You wish you had stood on that podium and made that remark?

Her whole POINT was to be inappropriate.

sheesh. you guys soooo fell for her tactics.

So what's the counter argument to her "******" remark? ..is it:

"that is so off-base, that its laughable"
or
"Edwards is married so he can't be gay"
or
....?

. . . "Edwards is too smarter than a bundle of sticks"

Pretty much. I think she's a waste of space, personally but the feigned "outrage" over her comment would be best dealt with by simply ignoring her, rather than feeding her tactics.

Big hoopla over nothing.

There is no question in my mind that AC's remarks were deliberately made to shock. We disagree about the part where she's a strategic genius who is caricaturizing other peoples' crass remarks as a way of instilling some objectivism and maturity into the dialogue. Give me a break. AC is a performer. Along the lines of Al Franken, but with substantially less thoughtiness and skill.

A media whore, if you will. It's just as simple as that. She's selling books and appearances. She's not a politician or a political analyst. She's a business that sells entertainment. That's why she fits so nicely on Faux News.

You know Sup, if you never actually ask her out you'll certainly never get a date.:)

James Carville . . I think she's trying to impress him with what she's learned from him.

Am I that transparent?

Actually, this isn't too strange an assessment. Carville is smart. Carville sells books. Carville is in bed (literally) with The Right - via marriage. Carville may have more tact, contingent on the intellectual level toward which Carville panders, but that's about it as far as a true difference between he and Coulter. Aside, of course, from Coulter having more hair.

Just make sure you are when you wear your dress, Tiger. Ann might like things "commando." Grrrr! :D

Actually, there are some people who say she is actually a goat sucking vampire called a chupacabra. A few years ago there was a website dedicated to showing the eerie similarities between the two.

Most people posting to the site, however, felt the chupacabra was being maligned.

The site appears to be gone - but there is a drawing of one here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra

Come to your own conclusions...

It's not easy always making strange assessments; just ask Supe. ;)

Seriously, my point was more about how this crap plays. Carville always comes out (er...hope I didn't ofend anyone there) anyway.. Carville always appears when the Clintons get in hot water. He gets everyone tlking about the poor taste of (paraphrasing)"just drag a twenty thru a trailerpark" or whatever. The effect is, the 'overstated' isn't argued for it's degree of (in)accuracy, but rather that it was a crass overstatement. ...leaving on the table the thought that the statement DOES have some accuracy.

"'****** isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night. "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."

So, fint says that "******" refers to gays but is inoffensive, and now Coulter denies that "******" even refers to gays. Getting the wires a little crossed?

It's not over yet: http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/03/05/coulter.ads/index.html

The KOS rocks!:)

So what, she pissed off some ******, BFD.

LOL
So then, your argument is "******" is NOT a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss' ? ..because fint says it also means 'gay' ?

What are you saying? :cool:

I'm saying for Coulter to now pretend the term "******" "has nothing to do with gays" is like Clinton saying BJs have nothing to do with sex.
