By resisting the 'pretty...UGLY!' joke, Ethan avoids implicating himself as someone who would be included as a bad example on the political sarcasm thread. In this liminal example of self-awareness upon the part of the panopticon-styled writer we can envision that -- *sounds of a struggle and a beating* (Taken from The Last Lecture by Dr. Smith Smythe III of Rob Jones University.)

She has many "pretty" signifiers but they are put together in a manner I find completely repellant (much like, say, Paris Hilton).

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 October 2005 14:25 (twenty years ago)

she's like cartman's mom, w/ cartman's socio-political views.

"Aesthetic choice is a highly individual matter, and aesthetic experience is always a private one. Every new aesthetic reality makes one's experience even more private; and this kind of privacy, assuming at times the guise of literary (or some other) taste, can in itself turn out to be, if not as guarantee, then a form of defense against enslavement. For a man with taste, particularly literary taste, is less susceptible to the refrains and the rhythmical incantations peculiar to any version of political demagogy. The point is not so much that virtue does not constitute a guarantee for producing a masterpiece, as that evil, especially political evil, is always a bad stylist."
--Joseph Brodsky

― Jimmy Mod wants you to tighten the strings on your corset (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Friday, 7 October 2005 17:11 (twenty years ago)

She's normal-looking "pretty," sure. Only it's kinda spoiled by this kinda hard-bitten half-crazy quality, the kind of thing that results from, say, long-term drug abuse, Dust Bowl deprivation, or, I dunno, raging demons of eye-clawing post-rational political hatred. I mean, she looks like a regular-pretty person who's gone kinda cracked-out and busted.

― nabiscothingy, Friday, 7 October 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Why am I vaguely offended by the Niger / Please joke?

― nabiscothingy, Friday, 7 October 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

well, no, I mean I think the point is that the fact she's Ann Coulter is what is driving the criticism of her looks, not whether or not myself or minna or Ethan or your mom personally find Ann Coulter to be hubba hubba.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Friday, 7 October 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

Why am I vaguely offended by the Niger / Please joke?

Because it's only vaguely funny?

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 October 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Possibly it's because fat white children in middle-school geography lessons find nothing funnier than deliberately mispronouncing it "nigger" and then badly feigning ignorance when the teacher corrects them, ignorance belied by the fact that they go on to try pronouncing Nigeria "niggerrhea," oblivious to the fact that there's a half-clever extra joke in that one?

― nabiscothingy, Friday, 7 October 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Clark came to speak last week he didn't post shirtless pictures of himself everywhere. And this is publicity for a speaker who told someone I knew at college that she deserved to be sexually harrassed because she must have been asking for it and that strong women don't get harrassed, only weak ones. Then she went on to talk about how Bill Clinton is a rapist.

rofls in bold-

http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/printer_friendly.cgi?article=99

As my regular readers know, I've long been skeptical of the "Religion of Peace" moniker for Muslims — for at least 3,000 reasons right off the top of my head. I think the evidence is going my way this week.

The culture editor of a newspaper in Denmark suspected writers and cartoonists were engaging in self-censorship when it came to the Religion of Peace. It was subtle things, like a Danish comedian's statement, paraphrased by The New York Times, "that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Quran."

So, after verifying that his life insurance premiums were paid up, the editor expressly requested cartoons of Muhammad from every cartoonist with a Danish cartoon syndicate. Out of 40 cartoonists, only 10 accepted the invitation, most of them submitting utterly neutral drawings with no political content whatsoever.

But three cartoons made political points.

One showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying "Stop, stop — we ran out of virgins!" — which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular — oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence.

In order to express their displeasure with the idea that Muslims are violent, thousands of Muslims around the world engaged in rioting, arson, mob savagery, flag-burning, murder and mayhem, among other peaceful acts of nonviolence.

Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back.

The little darlings brandish placards with typical Religion of Peace slogans, such as: "Behead Those Who Insult Islam," "Europe, you will pay, extermination is on the way" and "Butcher those who mock Islam." They warn Europe of their own impending 9/11 with signs that say: "Europe: Your 9/11 will come" — which is ironic, because they almost had me convinced the Jews were behind the 9/11 attack.

The rioting Muslims claim they are upset because Islam prohibits any depictions of Muhammad — though the text is ambiguous on beheadings, suicide bombings and flying planes into skyscrapers.

The belief that Islam forbids portrayals of Muhammad is recently acquired. Back when Muslims created things, rather than blowing them up, they made paintings, frescoes, miniatures and prints of Muhammad.

But apparently the Quran is like the Constitution: It's a "living document," capable of sprouting all-new provisions at will. Muslims ought to start claiming the Quran also prohibits indoor plumbing, to explain their lack of it.

Other interpretations of the Quran forbid images of humans or animals, which makes even a child's coloring book blasphemous. That's why the Taliban blew up those priceless Buddhist statues, bless their innocent, peace-loving little hearts.

Largely unnoticed in this spectacle is the blinding fact that one nation is missing from the long list of Muslim countries (by which I mean France and England) with hundreds of crazy Muslims experiencing bipolar rage over some cartoons: Iraq. Hey — maybe this democracy thing does work! The barbaric behavior of Europe's Muslims suggests that the European welfare state may not be attracting your top-notch Muslims.

Making the rash assumption for purposes of discussion that Islam is a religion and not a car-burning cult, even a real religion can't go bossing around other people like this.

Catholics aren't short on rules, but they couldn't care less if non-Catholics use birth control. Conservative Jews have no interest in forbidding other people from mixing meat and dairy. Protestants don't make a peep about other people eating food off one another's plates. (Just stay away from our plates — that's disgusting.)

But Muslims think they can issue decrees about what images can appear in newspaper cartoons. Who do they think they are, liberals?

― ,,, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 19:08 (twenty years ago)

Besides the fact that this is soooooo 8th century thinking, it rather reminds me of Star Trek, the Next Generation and the ongoing war with the Borg.

The Borg had a hive-mind (see Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hive_mind ) and had no individuality. Freedom of thought, expression, or any other individuality once a being became “assimilated” by the Borg. Borg were programmed to eat, sleep, attack or kill on command from the collective mind.

The only reason for the existence of Borg was to make more Borg by assimilating whole civilizations. From that force of mind control derived the famous phrase “resistance is futile”.

The Federation, representing many races, worlds, and cultures gave up trying to reason with a Borg hive mind, since the hive mind had no ability to comphrehend the thoughts, pleas, or protestations of individual leaders, cultures, or worlds. The only deviation from that was when some Borg got separated from the collective, and their hive mind control. Individuallity gradually returned, as did the beginning of reasoning. Once freed from the collective, many Borg didn’t want go back. And who could blame them?

In the end the only way for the Federation to deal with this threat was to kick their collective ass back into the other side of the galaxy. Thats all the Borg understood.

I fear that’s all Islam understands too.

Its funny that Hollywood made fiction that fits what we see now, maybe Star Trek TNG was the original social commentary on Islam.

Is this going to turn into a First Amendment thread?

The reason Coulter makes so much money is b/c she doesn't fill in any holes for people. She has this very ingratiating aspect to her speech and writing that makes it seem as if she is simply agreeing with something you've already said. If you're having feelings somewhat like hers and you're stupid, you might agree with what she has to say.

She's not in violation of the First Amendment yet. She's got a law degree, so she knows what words and phrases to avoid.

― Big Loud Mountain Ape (Big Loud Mountain Ape), Thursday, 16 February 2006 14:55 (twenty years ago)

My problem with Coulter (and I have seen her speak) is not the fact that she gives lecutres that I personally don't agree with, or that she is so popular, or that she's a blond with long legs, but that she lectures on politics for the first 45 minutes of a public address and then launches into diatribes and racial attacks and just plain David Icke nonsense which she justifies by being a lawyer and a political speaker. She uses her law degree and standing among the Republican party as a tool to spout very insidious and harmful ideas.

Amazon.com: What book has had the most significant impact on your life?

Ann Coulter: Matthew--no, wait: Mark. Luke was great, too. And I just loved John.

Amazon.com: You are stranded on a desert island with only one book, one CD, and one DVD--what are they?

Coulter: Book: Getting off a Desert Island for Dummies. CD: Anything rap. I could while away the days correcting the grammatical errors. DVD: Red Dawn or Die Hard. No-- Doctor Strangelove. Actually, I don't care as long as it's not a rental. Those late fees will kill you.

Amazon.com: What is the worst lie you've ever told?

Coulter: Hiring that hot Israeli guy for $100,000 and telling everyone he was my Homeland Security consultant. No, I'm sorry, that wasn't me. It was the time I said, "I'm sure some liberals love their country."

Amazon.com: Describe the perfect writing environment.

Coulter: A clean, well-lit, heavily endowed university with a dozen unpaid college ghostwriters at my disposal. In other words, Al Franken's office.

Amazon.com: If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say?

Coulter: "Can I please finish my thought, Alan?"

Amazon.com: Who is the one person living or dead you would like to have dinner with?

Coulter: Sir Francis Bacon. Either him or this really cute guy who just moved into my building. Whichever.

Amazon.com: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Coulter: The United States of America. Oh--that isn't what you mean? Then x-ray vision. That way I could become the first blond white female ever hired as an airport security checkpoint guard.

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

GODLESS is the most explosive book yet from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Coulter. In this completely original and thoroughly controversial work, Coulter writes, “Liberals love to boast that they are not ‘religious,’ which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as ‘religion.’ ”

GODLESS throws open the doors of the “Church of Liberalism.”

how many interns do you think she now has putting effort into the "thoroughly controversial" bit?

Ann Coulter: Because evolution is the official state religion. Although it is possible to believe in God and evolution, it is not possible to not believe in God without believing in evolution -- otherwise, atheists have no explanation for why we are here. Thus, it's very important for the liberal clergy to force small school children to believe in a discredited mystery religion from the 19th century -- evolution -- in order to prepare them to believe in the nonexistence of God, one of the main goals of the American public education system.

from the column that Donut posted over on the 6/6/6 thread:

In my rich fantasy life I envision her being kidnapped and taken on tour with Deicide, where they make her work the T-shirt and sticker table.

This image makes my day, with her set up at the table next between the pizza hut stand and elevators that go to the luxury suites, scowling and wearing a black tshirt. She spends the next 3 hours alternating between arguing with some 14 year over which $25 shirt to buy, and sitting there bored, idly doodling on the legal pad they gave her to track sold merch and playing with her laminate.

"C'mon, cmon', kid, which shirt do ya want?"

she takes a 15 min break to go buy a $4 Edy's Ice Cream before returning to rearrange what stickers are left. Her 32 oz diet coke is running perilously low, but the guys at the pizza hut stand refuse to take her order.

The thing is, if anything of hers I've read--articles and book excerpts so maybe they aren't representative--is something to go on, she's a hideous piss poor writer. She really is only hit and miss with being at all clever, and she never makes any kind of interesting or thoughtful point. And I've never 100% bought that she was completely faking her beliefs; I just figured she was amping them up for the cameras, but I'm not really that sure now with how bitten-crazy she seemed on the Today show (especially compared with the tiny clip they showed from just a year ago of her and Lauer!).

But really, the fact that she is a terrible writer is really the cardinal sin here. I'd rather read an anthology of the absolute worst, belligerent, being-a-dick-for-the-sake-of-it stuff that Momus and ethan have posted on this board than read her book, because at least they're witty. She makes racist frat boy jokes and it's somehow clever because she's a girl. I've defended her before because, only watching her on tv, it seemed she was having a joke, being funny, and she came off that way from time to time, but having read more of her stuff--what in the holy hell? Who decided to publish her in the first place?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

This is the second time today I've felt that I'm kind of wasting my time posting such a thing HERE, like there's no one to convince on this board of my point because it's almost a universal truth around these parts, but seriously just how much longer is Ann Coulter going to get by on being a "hot chick" retelling Rush Limbaugh's ancient jokes in an XTREME VICE MAGAZINE Y2K style?

I mean, judging by the Today show clip, not much longer cos she's totally losing her mind (it's almost as if she wrote the book back when Bush's numbers were much higher and is now worried the tide has also turned against HER ilk, imagine...), but--how does it go?--you never go broke underestimating Americans and what they are willing to spend money on?

Ding ding! That she says these mock-horrors with such insouciance makes her an Aryan wet dream for we're-so-offended talk show hosts who invite her.

When liberals learn to master Gore Vidal's poise and diction, Ann Coulter will have some competition.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 8 June 2006 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

I think the point is, though, that she seems to be slowly losing that strength. This isn't the first tv appearance I've seen her on recently where she appears to be, quite frankly, losing her mind. Whether it's just stress (physical or mental), or something deeper (like what I said, realizing that if Bush's fanbase keeps shrinking, so does hers), I'm not really sure.

This isn't the first tv appearance I've seen her on recently where she appears to be, quite frankly, losing her mind.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen her any other way. She's been batshit from the word go, the only difference is that now her cause is less popular, which gives Matt Lauer the freedom to stand up to her. It's really sad all the way around.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

I seriously don't really know. It seems like so much of her draw is the physical, or at least she gets a lot of mileage out of it(e.g. the book covers), I'm wondering at what point that gives out, or at least is overtaken by crazy-ass chicks like Malkin offering up an even more excreable viewpoint.

If you assume she was serious all along, then I don't think there's a significant difference.

Lesley Ann Warren is better because she's Miss Scarlet.

― sinful caesar sipped his snifter (kenan), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

No, there pretty well is a difference. Going from being well-spoken to a hysterical version of our president is pretty obvious, whether or not you believe her to be serious or joking. If you really don't get what people are saying here then I'm not sure how else to explain it to you.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

Are you at any point going to address "she was once well spoken, now she is stuttering, stressed, and unable to complete sentences without starting to shriek and shake"? Or did you just wanna get yr 10c in about how Ann Coulter is a cunt?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 8 June 2006 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah I don't think the reaction to her Today appearance is because her viewpoint is becoming unpopular all of a sudden. It's always been unpopular. She's got that Howard Stern thing, half her "fanbase" has been her sworn enemies - now she's boring and crazy and grasping, like when Stern got his legions of imitators and started having to bring strippers and midgets on the show every single day.

Alice Cooper was at least smart enough to know that when the kids in the front row at his shows had bigger pet pythons and more makeup on than he did, it was time to give it a rest.

kenan, no one here needs to be calmed down.

Why bother making a point of replying to anyone's post if you don't actually care about the discussion at hand? Just post, "I think Ann Coulter is a crazy cunt" and go from there.

Tom, I think it's a given that she's on shit like that!

exactly. I think that's been the schtick, to always dump so much effort into being "outrageous," that it becomes to require more and more thrashing about, like a rabid doberman staked in a front yard just straining to get at those delicious toddlers frollicking next door.

Andrew Sullivan:

But the problem with Coulter is that she is a form of camp, is she not? The minute you take her seriously, you lose grip on her reality. She's not a social or political commentator. She's a drag queen impersonating a fascist. I don't even begin to believe she actually believes this stuff. It's post-modern performance-art. I think of Coulter in that sense as more at home on the pomo-left than the Christianist right (which is why the joke, ultimately, is on the Republicans who like her). Devoid of sincerity, detached from any value but performance, juggling rhetoric for its own sake, she is Stanley Fish's model student. Half the time, I tend to think that a Hannity or O'Reilly or Malkin actually believes their own rhetoric. With Coulter, I don't believe it for a second. And so her vileness cannot be taken seriously. She is worse than vile. She is just empty.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 8 June 2006 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

My friend who took the time to read a lot of Leo Strauss proto-neoconservative work told me a while back how it's hinted that religion is a necessity for the majority of the population but the governing/ruling body doesn't necessarily have to believe. Panacea for the masses, etc. When I heard about this Coulter book, that was the first thing I thought of.

the comments on the few blogs i skimmed (i had to stop pretty quickly because i honestly thought i was going to have a stroke) were totally supportive. people were saying things like "people die every day - why should those women get more sympathy than anyone else?" and "it's sickening that they're using the death of loved ones to further the liberal agenda" and "if they really cared about america, they wouldn't be trying to weaken it."

It's probably not even worth the effort of arguing but yeah, what I've read of that chapter is just absurd, setting up a broad strawman and attacking with no reasoning. Who exactly is she talking about? Andrea Dworkin and Hollywood sex symbols are on the same side? Worshipping Hollywood body image ideals is part of liberalism (even though liberal faith crazily proclaims that breast implants might be bad for you)? Shinto is one of the most popular religions amongst liberals?! There are no Christian environmentalists? And do conservatives really believe that we should (paraphrasing) "populate the earth until it's standing room only and then colonize Mars"? The metric system has been attempted many times but never really caught on? Is the Swedish standard of livingIt's impossible for birds to become extinct? . . . At least P. J. O'Rourke is sometimes funny and makes some kind of logical sense. (And how would AC deal with his love of promiscuity and soft drugs?)

I suspect I know the answer to this but in a country ruled by Republicans, that's the world's bastion of capitalism, with such a strong Christian influence, why are conservative writers so obsessed with what 'liberals' think?

Her endorsement of Romney today - "probably the best candidate" - is a big deal, it seems to me. McCain is a non-starter. He is as loathed as Clinton in these parts. Giuliani is, in her words, "very, very liberal." One of his sins? He opposed the impeachment of Bill Clinton. That's the new standard. She is the new Republicanism. The sooner people recognize this, the better.

As conservatives, we can all look forward to what outrageous thing Coulter will say at the next CPAC because it will give us a chance to show that we are not nearly as bad as she is and to accuse liberals of being insufferable hypocrites...

He and Greenwald have written the two best exegeses.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:05 (nineteen years ago)

I've never read Greenwald before - that's a great essay.

The Coulter/Hannity/Limabugh-led right wing is basically the Abu Grahib rituals finding full expression in an authoritarian political movement. The reason people like Rush Limbaugh not only were unbothered, but actually delighted and even tickled by, Abu Grahib is because that is the full-blooded manifestation of the impulses underlying this movement -- feelings of power and strength from the most depraved spectacles of force. The only real complaint from Bush followers about the Commander-in-Chief is that he has not given them enough Guantanamos and wars and aggression and barbaric slaughter and liberty infringement. Their hunger for those things is literally insatiable because they need fresh pretexts for feeling strong.

And that is where Ann Coulter comes in and plays such a vital -- really indispensible -- role. As a woman who purposely exudes the most exaggerated American feminine stereotypes (the long blond hair, the make-up, the emaciated body), her obsession with emasculating Democratic males -- which, at bottom, is really what she does more than anything else -- energizes and stimulates the right-wing "base" like nothing else can. Just witness the fervor with which they greet her, buy her books, mob her on college campuses. Can anyone deny that she is unleashing what lurks at the very depths of the right-wing psyche? What else explains not just her popularity, but the intense embrace of her by the "base"?

That Greenwald thing is marginally convincing until you start thinking about it. Was Limbaugh, as unreconstructed as he is, really "tickled" by Abu Ghraib? Does Ann Coulter really exude "the most exaggerated American feminine stereotypes"? That analysis is long on hyperbole and short on insight.

I think Ann Coulter's popularity is more easily explained by the simple fact that she fills an under-exploited niche in the punditry: the young(ish), attractive, sort-of-hip female conservative (the male version of Tucker Carlson, if you will - not that I find him attractive, but some do).

― o. nate, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

That should have read "the female version of Tucker Carlson", obviously.

her appeal is that she's a conventionally attractive woman who speaks in snarky soundbites, its not really any more complicated than that.

"I'm talking about people having a good time, these people [CIA agents and MPs at Abu Ghraib], you ever heard of emotional release? You heard of need to blow some steam off?" Limbaugh asked a caller. "This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time."

Last night Joe Scarborough (is that who it was?) followed up a long discussion of the Coulter affair with a "Hollyweird" segment on how Justin Timberlake tried to visit Britney but wasn't allowed to, and how John Travolta said that JT stole his dance moves from Saturday Night Fever. The segment was basically five minutes of Scarborough ridiculing JT's lack of masculinity.

SCARBOROUGH: She does need some panties. I mean, and speaking of somebody that—well, actually sometimes wears panties, Justin Timberlake wanting to go in to meet back up with Britney. What is that all about?

LANDRY: Well, I think he wants to get back in touch with her and be there for her to support her. But I don‘t think Lynne wants anything like that to happen. You know, Britney is trying to get back together with Kevin. And I guess Lynne is trying to make that happen.

SCARBOROUGH: I mean, I don‘t think it should. Tom O‘Neil, speaking of this guy who supposedly is bringing sexy back, John Travolta is telling MTV that Justin Timberlake stole his dance moves from “Saturday Night Fever,” what can you tell us about that?

O‘NEIL: Yes, isn‘t that something. This was an interview in which Travolta admits that he is stealing his dance moves from Tina Turner. And frankly, Tina wants them back. They are talking about the new movie “Hairspray” in which John Travolta plays drag. And in the course of all of this he said, well, by the way, Justin stole all of my moves.

SCARBOROUGH: Yes. Well, you want to get in the middle of Travolta and Timberlake, Lisa?

LANDRY: Boys, you are both pretty. Everybody just settle down.

SCARBOROUGH: They are pretty boys. What does that mean? I mean, I don‘t understand. Can you explain to me why anybody would think that Justin Timberlake brought sexy back, but that he is sexy at all? He is just a skinny, scrawny kid from like Orlando, right?

LANDRY: Well, I think it is easy to say that John Travolta danced with Olivia Newton-John, and he danced with Uma Thurman. And Justin was in ‘N Sync and he was dancing with Lance Bass. So it is kind of no contest there as to who is sexier.

SCARBOROUGH: Yes. I would take Travolta any time...not that I think guys are sexy, mind you.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

Well, I can't quote chapter and verse of Limbaugh's remarks on Abu Ghraib, so I can't really tell you if the statements that he made downplaying the incident were ever balanced by statements acknowledging that perhaps there was a boundary crossed there. Since I've never listened to his show, all I have to go by are the excerpts printed by his critics. In any case, even if Limbaugh does really support stripping Iraqi prisoners naked and putting dog collars on them, I have to admit that I don't really see the relevance to the popularity of Ann Coulter with her audience. Because if Coulter metaphorically strips her opponents and puts dog collars on them, then so does just about every pundit out there who is strongly opionated and combative.

nothing wrong with it, its just an interesting contrast between two very different ways to project female power (one ostensibly masculine, military, and capitalist - the other maternal, familial, and amorous)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 23:22 (nineteen years ago)

I don't really want to get into this discussion, but masculine v. maternal doesn't really seem the proper way to frame the difference between Rosie the Riveter and Code Pink. more like for-oneself v. for-others

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 23:30 (nineteen years ago)

no, I mean, code pink seems to rely on a model of feminine identity that's defined by how women influence and help others, rather than acting as their own agents. which does seem retrograde.

rather than acting as their own agents

Let's not go too far , here. What's remarkable about Veronika Lake cutting her hair and millions of women working in the war effort isn't that they were doing it all on their own or even for a greater cause, it was that society realized that it needed the 'man'power, that women were just as capable of competently working shit industrial jobs to make ends meet and that once transgressed, the status quo ante was going to be hard to get back in the bag once the war was over, hence the plethora of post-war films about docile wives and viragos getting their come-uppance.

I never fully understand why influencing and helping others isn't a form of agency, though.

― kingfish, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

Jumping in late in this, I guess, but it's weird: I used to think of Code Pink type rhetoric in terms of the stuff that became a big argument on the Freidan RIP thread -- like a fear that certain feminist models might accidentally denigrate feminine roles that are perfectly good and commendable, and this desire to latch onto and bolster those things as a valid, non-trivial female contribution to the world. (Horseshoe's right to worry about the essentialist bent of that -- it's not like they're suggesting that these are good roles in general for both men and women -- but I think they sell specifically because they're adversarial that way, claiming feminine roles but then casting them as preferable to bad male ones.)

Okay right but the thing is that after the publicity roll-out for that Fonda / Steinem radio thing, it's come to look more and more to me like just a marketing tool, and a kind of concession to the bad PR feminism gets among lots of women as overly tough or unfeminine or whatever. Which is probably just bad in a different way, but who knows -- I'll just admit that I was really worried and unsure when I heard them pitching that radio thing more or less by saying "oh, men are just yelling at each other about politics, it's all adversarial; our political discussions will be all pleasant and polite because we're women." And it bugged me not even because I was sure it was a bad idea, but because it didn't seem to even be an idea -- there was no sense that they'd decided on this as like an important ideological direction, and every sense that they just thought they could get more listeners by kinda Martha Stewartifying their tone that way. (Something that would come off totally insulting if male programmers were like "oh, women like stuff that way!")

Anyway, point being I think there's a conflict of direction here -- which I am not pretending to have a real sure opinion on -- between feminism as something that challenges or tries to change women (to put it in good + bad terms) versus new strains of something feminism-like that play, market-style, to what large numbers of women are going to find accessible and fun (hahaha Pussycat Dolls!), and the Code Pink rhetoric has clearly made a decision to mobilize lots of women by appealing a bit in the latter sense. (Which, since it's a political action thing, it's not entirely damning to say "well this rhetoric is market-based to mobilize people easily" -- that's part and parcel of the deal, obviously.)

Sorry to ramble but I always wind up thinking about this, and there's a really tough question up in there -- it sounds bad to say "oh this kind of pseudo-feminism is just pandering to XYZ," but on the other hand if lots of women respond to XYZ, shouldn't "feminism" be about what on-the-ground women need at the moment, and hasn't the movement suffered a lot of blows from the perception that its leaders are hectoring women to be or want things they don't, necessarily, yet? Should its main role be to challenge women (more so than men, even!), or just to represent them?

― nabisco, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 06:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ach, that was very poorly put, and I am not exactly comparing Code Pink to Pussycat Dolls, obviously, but hopefully the point comes through. A lot of the thinking of political action things like Code Pink (or the Million Mom March, or whatever), is to use conventional, commonly held ideas about femininity and motherhood to attract a base that includes people who aren't usually political, or to cut across people's political leanings -- you see this rhetoric all the time, like "it's not about politics or party, it's about our FAMILIES and so we all come together because this is bigger than your workaday political squabbling." So in that sense Code Pink is totally unsurprising.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 06:41 (nineteen years ago)

there is a really tough question embedded in this stuff (hi nabisco, thanks for understanding what I was saying and not comparing me to ayn rand!), and my maybe silly response to it is to say that I'm okay with the pink part* (what's so insidious about girliness, anyway?) but the "women are mothers and therefore different kind of beings than men and this is a kind of identity that we can mobilize politically" rhetoric has just gotten women in too much fucking trouble historically and all over the world, not just in the west, in precisely this kind of way--it does mobilize people and often has some immediate positive effect (though never for women, and never in the long run). it seriously makes me break out in hives whenever I hear women using it in support of any political platform no matter how progressive because it's like, remember how this is how we got fucked last time? and all the times before that? like, how can political movements happening in 2007 use the same gender rhetoric that Virginia Woolf used (with a considerable degree of irony and despair) in Three Guineas in the 1930s? doesn't anything ever change? I realize I sound slightly paranoid talking about this, and that's because I am but that doesn't mean that this kind of rhetoric isn't dangerous as hell.

*I get why dar1a is bothered by the pink thing, though.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 07:15 (nineteen years ago)

that probably wasn't clear at all but the "I'm okay with the pink" was meant to be a nod to the mobilizing women strand of feminism, and me flipping out about the other stuff was my feeling that a line has been crossed where mobilizing people is not worth the price, i.e. NO THIS PART IS A TRAP STOP GOING OUT LIKE THAT, WOMEN OF THE WORLD!

but I'm still not officially talking about any of this.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 07:23 (nineteen years ago)

ANYWAY. ann coulter has to be an a really committed performance artist; that's the only way I can make sense of her. I do think she's fairly pretty.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 07:26 (nineteen years ago)

(I guess the best way I can think of to pinpoint the problem is that a lot of this modern rhetoric comes down to a "girls rule, boys drool" tactic -- which is unnerving not because it's poppy or simplistic, but because it encourages women to value or assert themselves within the same existing sex roles and ideas of gendered behavior. And so sure, there's something to be said for valuing and feeling good about those roles, but part of the whole point here was that men and women both should think about whether those roles are kinda fucked up and limiting to begin with!)

― nabisco, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

See, I'm at "don't worry about it - SAY NO." I say no to political movements in which women dress up in pink costumes. It's not that deep or complicated. It's a pink costume! It screams "Don't take me seriously!" And, I mean, if they need the pink costumes to mobilize people because otherwise the same people wouldn't be sufficiently interested in their issues, well, why should anyone take them seriously?

― daria-g, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

So now he's declared fatwa against Media Matters, for the crime of transcribing his on-air talk, and said the following:

You ought to be happy, you liberal SOBs, that I am only a talk-show host. You ought to thank God that I have no avariciousness in my soul. You ought to thank God that I'm not power mad like you liberals, because if I ever ran for office, I can guarantee you, you wouldn't be in business too long.

Info on the two folks who pal around with Ann, her security guard and her publicist. Her guard runs New York Close Protection Services:

" NYCPS is the only firm specializing in the safety and accessibility of the conservative philosophy. In a time when conservatives are physically and verbally attacked by those who disagree with them, the NYCPS Team is dedicated to ensuring that their clients are protected while getting their message out on college campuses, in local communities, and through media appearances. "

The guard's partner in that business is Ann's publicist. Ann's publicist is also director of CPAC, which might be why Ann's been there for the last 7 years and why she'll be there next year, flop-sweat-soaked attempt at outrageousness or no. She always has room to make more statements like

"In contemplating college liberals, you really regret, once again, that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals by making them realize that they could be killed, too. Otherwise they will turn out into outright traitors."

In a great bit of writing, Peter Oloffson from the Skeptical Inquirer has a review of her last book, calling it a marvelous pisstake on creationism and other ID movements:

...Coulter has written a biting satire over the trend of anti-intellectualism that clouds part of the conservative ideology, which is otherwise based on principle and reason. If I have any objection to Coulter’s piece, it would be that it is a bit lengthy, but perhaps this too is part of the satire, as some antievolution pieces tend to be pretty verbose. There are also some things I don’t fully understand, for example several references to bestiality and some seemingly nonsequitur remarks about Cher and Elton John. Considering how wonderfully multilayered Coulter’s writing is, I am sure there is a perfectly logical explanation.

By the way, you did not ask me what my favorite bumper sticker or button is . . . and I know the answers to those questions! Bumper sticker: “Dead For Life”; button: “Jews For Jerry.”

― gabbneb, Friday, 12 October 2007 02:39 (eighteen years ago)

AC: I can't possibly pick one favorite. Nor a favorite concert tape. I have about fifty Dead tapes, including the original rap song - Mickey Hart rapping “Fire on the Mountain” - I think at my alma mater, Cornell, before I was even born. It's fantastic. How about that? Just when you thought the Dead could be no cooler – they even invented rap!

― gabbneb, Friday, 12 October 2007 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

The weight of "I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" is clear to me now. This is just too weird.

DEUTSCH: I don’t agree with that. I don’t agree with that at all. Maybe you have the chip looking at them. I see a lot of interracial couples, and I don’t see any more or less chips there either way. That’s erroneous.

COULTER: No. In fact, there was an entire “Seinfeld” episode about Elaine and her boyfriend dating because they wanted to be a mixed-race couple, so you’re lying.

― deej, Friday, 12 October 2007 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

<I>Mr. Deutsch: You said — your exact words were, “Jews need to be perfected.” Those are the words out of your mouth.

Ms. Coulter: No, I’m saying that’s what a Christian is.

Mr. Deutsch: But that’s what you said — don’t you see how hateful, how anti-Semitic –</i>

And Ann, what you said sounds so much more controversial when we put it in the context of the Holocaust. Please, let us confuse basic religious doctrine with the race rhetoric of Hitler. Back to your comments, read you much Dr. Goebbels?

Product Description
In her most controversial and fiercely argued book yet, Ann Coulter calls out liberals for always playing the victim – when in fact, as she sees it, they are the victimizers. In GUILTY, Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. GUILTY is a mordantly witty and shockingly specific catalog of offenses which Coulter presents from A to Z. And as with each of her past books, all of which were NYT bestsellers, Coulter is fearless in her penchant for saying what needs saying about politics and culture today.

I like the idea that someone would try and rep for a book with this thesis:

Ann Coulter calls out liberals for always playing the victim – when in fact, as she sees it, they are the victimizers. In GUILTY, Coulter explodes this myth to reveal that when it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left.
