As for Chomsky, whom Ann Coulter would undoubtedly label "treasonous,"

unfair

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:04 (twenty years ago)

why, unfair?

― giboyeux (skowly), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

why, unfair?

Because trife has read Ann Coulter's "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism" and knows that Chomsky isn't mentioned once. Also, no one on the right would lump Chomsky in with "liberals."

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Mary Tillman says a private meeting was planned between him and Pat after Pat's return--a meeting that never took place, of course. Chomsky confirms this scenario.

this woulda been neat, and no doubt Pat was looking forward to it.

― kingfish superman ice cream (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

yeah but she DOES say "Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn't slowed them down." And, considering Chomsky is MORE to the left of "liberals," the charge is a fair one. Q.E. fuckin' D.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

(I mean the charge of the original writer that Coulter would consider Chomsky a traitor, by the way)

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

as for ned raggett, whom matt cibula would undoubtedly label "sexy as hell"

Also, no one on the right would lump Chomsky in with "liberals."

that's because there are so many other colorful adjectives to use when describing Chomsky.

― don weiner (don weiner), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

but, obligatory, everyone knows chomsky isn't a "liberal." and an author as concerned with accuracy as Coulter surely acknowledges that important difference, and thus the inference is totally unreasonable and just your typical closed-minded liberal bullshit.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

i guess im smoking whatever it is that makes people realize the best tools for debate maybe arent false, invented quotes which your opponents MIGHT say to be used against them in news articles

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

gabbneb i thought you were for real at first but i guess youre being sarcastic- if you are then will you please use your humongous, well-oiled brain to explain why its a good idea for the left to make up quotes and attribute them to right-wingers in order to bolster "our" side of the argument??

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

yeah, why bustas be fronting on Ann? (xpost)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

as for ned raggett, whom matt cibula would undoubtedly label "sexy as hell"

*preens*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

an author as concerned with accuracy as Coulter

Okay, okay I get the joke!

Hey, Ethan Padgett, I think that your headlong quest to provide us all with our "much-needed" devil's advocacy is leading you down some very dark roads. The writer of that article is not making up false invented quotes and you know it, because you understand the meaning of the word "probably." Damn.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

i mean how is this different than when ann coulter says that michael moore secretly wants osama bin laden to kill more americans or whatever

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

lower standards for everyone!

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

it's a small point of contention in an otherwise illuminating article

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

because it's fun, dude. or did you think we were tryna get our fact-checked and footnoted (just like Ann!) critique onto the Hamilton County, OH 6 O'Clock news? (xpost)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:31 (twenty years ago)

Again, Ethan, the difference is because Ann Coulter has written that "liberals are either traitors or idiots," and because the writer used the word "probably."

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

BTW how on earth did Coulter become editor of law review? I want to make a snide comment about her ~~fucking her way into the job~~ having brains but can't seem to find the words.

― don weiner (don weiner), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

There are so many people like her who are the editors of law reviews in American law schools that it's not even funny.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

and yes probably people like her who are on the left too, okay?

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

you mean people who fucked their way into the job?

― don weiner (don weiner), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:35 (twenty years ago)

No, he means people who actually have a striking facial resemblence to the horse they rode in on.

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:36 (twenty years ago)

This thread makes me think of this picture, in a happy way:

so were yall big fans of the 90s-era 'small breasts and two fat thighs' jokes about hillary? was it funny when limbaugh called chelsea 'the white house dog'??

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

coulter can hit below the belt too but at least its funny (i did laugh at 'all the pretty horses')

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

do you get the difference between using a child and an adult? not liking comments about hillary doesn't make them out of bounds. and guess who started it in all of these cases?

BTW how on earth did Coulter become editor of law review?

at Michigan, no less. it's clear that she isn't stupid. perhaps she was less troubled then. or maybe she was just as much of a bully.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

was it funny when limbaugh called chelsea 'the white house dog'??

Hahahahaha! Yes.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I didn't realize we were here to seriously and soberly debate Ann Coulter's positions.

― it was a different shark (wetmink2), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

I don't think any of the personal jokes sit well. I can never take John McCain seriously, because he told the very first Chelsea joke at some GOP conference, like a fuckin' dickweed. And, although I don't think Ann Coulter is attractive in any way shape or form, making an argument against her physical appearance (even when she and others have exploited her "attractiveness") is just, y'know, stupid.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

There are certain people in this world that I do not want to waste time being "smart" about. Ann Coulter is one of them.

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

not if it helps explain Ann Coulter. only people make arguments. (xpost)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

Coulter was an editor at Michigan Law Review, not the editor.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

For some reason I don't feel all that bad about piling on someone who actually defended McCarthyism.

xpost

― rasheed wallace (rasheed wallace), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

there's a difference between 'piling on' and 'sinking to the other side's level in an ineffective internet sort of way'. but I do it too sometimes.

― The Obligatory Sourpuss (Begs2Differ), Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

mccain did not tell the very first chelsea joke!! wasnt that in like 98?? it was more of a janet reno joke than a chelsea joke anyway

― _, Wednesday, 12 October 2005 18:59 (twenty years ago)

Ethan you are right! You totally schooled me! But it was also an anti-Chelsea joke because he called her "ugly," so we are both right.

what I don't understand is why A&E insist on producing all this dog the bh/criss angel bullshit original programming when they could easily just play Magnum P.I. and CSI reruns alternating back and forth and get much higher ratings.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)

I wouldn't be calling her a coward if I didn't know who she was. Obviously. And I don't think John is a coward for not entering the debate. I don't see the point of anyone entering a debate with Ann Coulter.

― Dandy Don Weiner, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 18:46 (eighteen years ago)

Ann Coulter is an embarrassment to the country, and women everywhere.

I don't see the point of anyone entering a debate with Ann Coulter.

Amen to that.

― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

Elizabeth Edwards wasn't debating Ann Coulter, she was asking her to shut up.

i remember when a&e showed a woody allen movie every week

― gff, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:04 (eighteen years ago)

Entering a conversation with Ann Coulter means it turns into a debate, unfortunately. That woman doesn't deserve any airtime, in my opinion. In fact, I feel dirty acknowledging her existence.

― molly mummenschanz, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, Matthews is the real asshole/villain here (as usual). Coulter's a known quantity. (xp)

― Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

Matthews lets me down in this, actually: there's like half a moment where he knows it's really not impolite or non-neutral to say "Ann, that's a REALLY lame retort, you're not being asked not to speak, you're being asked not to make idiotic ad hominem slurs," and he kinda starts to do it, but ... he gives up looking a little tired. (Which is too bad, cause it'd probably do more for his show to really and truly back her into a corner of non-responses and see what happens: I don't suspect it'd be that hard to get her to lash out at you.)

― nabisco, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

I'm sure Matthews will run to his network and demand that Coulter never gets booked again.

― Dandy Don Weiner, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

guys, the people at fault here are either a) Elizabeth Edwards, or b) Chris Matthews, certainly not c) Ann Coulter

Coulter is going to be Glenn Beck's guest tonight on CNN in Paula Zahn's time slot, to "give her side" of yesterday's Edwards phone call. Hopefully they'll whip each other up into a slur-frenzy and both get Imus'ed forever.

So nice to see Elizabeth Edwards trolling the Today show this morning, keeping the pulse of Ann Coulter alive.

― Dandy Don Weiner, Thursday, 28 June 2007 11:50 (eighteen years ago)

Robin Williams, at the beginning of his "Today" interview, said, "Big day on the Today show today: steroids; Ann Coulter... Kind of redundant, really."

Sometimes I heart Robin Williams.

I believe Matthews said something along the lines of: "I think Edwards was a little over-the-top hopeful that she could shame Ann Coulter, which is just ... undoable."

― nabisco, Thursday, 28 June 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

Hadn't thought of this bit:

Coulter's tell, when you know she's been cornered, which is just about any time she's interviewed by someone who's not Sean Hannity (who must fingerfuck her under the desk), is that she pushes her long bottle-blonde hair to one side then the other, which she did almost constantly while Edwards was on the phone.

The tell bit, not the fingerfucking bit.

Presumably.

new docu is out. From the AV Club review:

For example, words can’t properly describe the rousing footage of Tillman’s younger brother speaking at Pat’s memorial service. After John McCain and other political and military leaders spoke about Pat being in “a better place,” the younger Tillman took the stage with a pint of ale, thanked everyone for coming, then said, “By the way, Pat isn’t with God, he’s fuckin’ dead. He wasn’t religious.”
