Coulter Round-up

by Sean Hackbarth

Let me round a few links and stories about Ann Coulter and her vicious mouth.

On Tuesday Howard Kurtz ran a story on the outcry over Coulter’s use of a gay slur writing:

But after some Democrats and liberal bloggers slammed the professional provocateur — and were joined by a number of Republicans and conservatives — it became a news story, albeit a modest one. Journalists could simply quote critics of the conservative author’s latest rhetorical stink bomb, in which she referred to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards with a six-letter word offensive to gays.

Kurtz is wrong. The outcry from conservative webloggers was almost immediate. Ed Morrissey and I posted the quote after it happened. I updated my post with the audio clip. If anything Republicans and conservative leaders has to react to fellow conservatives.

Salem Communications, parent of Townhall.com, released an audio commentary by Michael Medved asking Coulter to apologize. Will Medved and Salem take heat from the Coulter hordes for wimping out and wanting to be loved by the Left? Conservatives police their own.

Jeff Jacoby highlights the contrasts between the Coulter coverage and the lack of coverage for Bill Maher wishing VP Dick Cheney had been killed last week in Afghanistan. I haven’t harped on the “double standard” because Maher doesn’t claim he’s a political pundit speaking for the liberal movement. He’s just a lame, washed-up comedian. Maher doesn’t get invited to Lefty political conventions or college campuses to espouse and promote liberal ideas. Maher should be criticized for words more vicious than Coulter’s (wishing someone dead is worse than calling them a name), but he’s not a political spokesman.

Laura Ingarahm didn’t approve of Ann’s foul mouth.

Finally, we need to laugh, and Iowahawk helps.

Sean,

Continuing the subject of “trying to explain Coulter’s fans,” you might want to check out this article by Glenn Greenwald:

Salem continues to keep Michael Savage on the air despite a long history of bigoted vitriol ten times worse than anything Coulter has ever managed. Don’t hold your breath!

But I Get Equally Tired Of Sanctimonious Right Wing Windbags as Well!!!
I Mean,Look at William Bennett:Mr.”Virtues and Values”Is A Compulsive Gambler and Even Though He Said He Found It”Repulsive and Represenhible”,That The Only Way We Could Sereiously Stop Is To”Abort Every Black Baby In America!!”.Later On He Apologized Stating That “My Words Were Taken Out Of Context!!”.

Ya Know,The funny Thing About A Lot Of Conservatives:They Don’t want The Government In Our Lives(Gee I Never Knew It Was!!)Except When It suits Their Needs!!

You do realize that with all your Coulter coverage that your Google ads are lit up with Coulter merchandise. Why, you can even get an Ann Coulter ringtone!

I love this one by Jacoby: “… Maher doesn’t claim he’s a political pundit speaking for the liberal movement.”

I heard Bernard Goldberg make the same point on O’Reilly last night, and I could only think, gee, so friggn what? Just because he himself doesn’t CLAIM it can in no way suggest that he isn’t just that.

Hiding behind the label “comedian” (which is a very long stretch in Maher’s case – he’s about as funny as foot odor) cannot hide the fact that he uses his comedy (sic) and his current “show” as a mouthpiece for the far left agenda. Always has.

In a nutshell, Coulter used a “bad” word and Maher openly advocated for the unatural death of a US VP.

There is no comparison, no matter the surroundings.

Yeah, but Coulter’s called for the assassination of public figures, too. So it seems to me that she still comes out the worst.

“We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee. That’s just a joke, for you in the media.” — Ann Coulter

See, but Chet, she was joking. Bill Maher, even though he’s a comedian, clearly wasn’t, because he’s not funny. See? Makes sense to me.

Seriously, MjM, the mental acrobatics are impressive. Were you raised by telepathic circus performers?

Finally, as for all this “Bill Maher is a mothpiece for the far left” nonsense, go back and watch episodes of Politically Incorrect from during the Clinton administration and then come back to the conversation. Bill Maher is a pure libertarian, which makes him socially liberal but economically conservative, for those of you who flunked civics. Shit, he supported Bob Dole in 1996!

>>>Seriously, MjM, the mental acrobatics are impressive

Thank-you. Yes. It’s good to work the mind once in a while. You should try it.

Ineed, “Politically Incorrect”. (Was this a comedy, too?_ Basically, a “show” consisting of four far-left nuts ganging up on an occasional RINO. Very balanced.

I beleive I watched twice, and then had to get de-loused.

MjM, i’m disappointed. We’ve had intelligent conversations before, and it’s obvious you’re not interested in that anymore. Bill Maher is far left? Why, just because he hates Bush and Cheney?

“I watched twice.” Ah, yes, capital sampling.

Sigh.

This post of yours was as bad as the “Money for Nothing” reference.

>>> We’ve had intelligent conversations before, and it’s obvious you’re not interested in that anymore.

Quite. Hard to have such doings when the fella on the other side of the coffee table continually and childishly threatens to take his ball and go home.

>> Ah, yes, capital sampling.
All that was needed. Lemme ask: How many times do you stick your nose into a jug of milk before you conclude its sour?

>>This post of yours was as bad as the “Money for Nothing” reference.

Sorry you didn’t comprehend the meaning of that cite.
