Ann Coulter is bad for conservatives

[tr1414]

Three very good books to read. "How to talk to a liberal" (If you must) by Ann Coulter
Slander & Treason by Ms. Coulter. I, unlike you sir, love my country. I served & fought for my country, did you? Somehow I don't think so. Why is there so much hate from liberals for people that don't agree with them? Unreal.

Whatever, dude. And I'm a chick so ma'am will appropriate.

And guess what! Lots of people have served and fought for their country and, are you ready for this, they don't all feel like you do. Big surprise, yeah I know, but it's true. Guess they hate America too, though. BTW, where exactly is it that I said I hate my country? Because I don't like Ann Coulter? You feel safe making that assumption? Well, I could just as easily say that you hate this country for liking her. She doesn't represent anything good and decent in this country, thus you hate America for liking her. Wow, that was easy. Maybe you conservatives are onto something here.

Sheesh....

You can take your poorly-worded accusations and shove them up Ann Coulter's ass where they came from, Sir.

Ann Coulter is impudent, outrageous, extreme (on purpose), funny, smart, and sufficiently entertaining that she laughs at her critics all the way to the bank. She says outrageous things tongue in cheek that nobody with a brain would believe she means because she knows the numbnuts will believe her and repeat it and that just gives her a lot more publicity. She's also a damn good journalist and it is extremely difficult to catch her in a factual error.
She's found a gimmick that works.

When the conservatives of the world become so fragile they can't weather an Ann Coulter, they should hang it up anyway. She isn't hurting anybody. I like her.

Ann Coulter does indeed at least deserve to have her opinions heard. But I would take everything you hear from her with a grain of salt, I mean c'mon, how inteligent can she be when she said that we should nuke North Korea to send a bold message. She also says we should convert every country with a dictator to Christianity. I think she needs her head examined.

If you read any books you'd know that Slander is one book & Treason is another. Along with How to talk to a liberal ... that's three by my count. Typical liberal. But you love everyone right? Keep saying that as the head-choppers keep blowing **** up.

Anne Coulter is the same as any other flag-waving red-state redneck Bush supporter except that she is famous. The only thing that annoyed me is that someone like her made the cover of Time Magazine.

She's pretty hot though.

 

[tr1414]

Try her book.... she is one smart lady

 

[FinnMacCool]

I don't like reading partisan literature. Besides I would never be able to get through all that hate mongering.

 

[tr1414]

As long as your not reading Chomsky or Ward Churchill..... I can't think of bigger anti-Americans then those asswipes

I hope you are not lumping all conservatives into this group, because I am the conservative who started this thread and that would hurt me deeply.

Like I said, I don't usually read partisan books (though I think Chompsky is very intelligent) but something you have to keep in mind is that people like anne Coulter and Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh etc. They try to offend people because thats what gives them ratings and makes their money. I listen to Rush Limbaugh all the time on the radio. He is funny and I actually enjoy picking out his lies all the time. I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 from Michael Moore and though I agreed with some of it I did think there were some inaccuracies. However as far as documentaries go, Michael Moore is probably the best out there. Bowling for Columbine was a masterpiece.

Anne Coulter is the same thing. But she says so many messed up stuff about people like liberals being traitors etc. that I wouldn't be able to stomach that crap. She's an entertainer basically. She is someone who, like Michael Moore (note I'm being fair to you conservatives by naming a liberal also), exists to entertain their side of politics and should not really be taken seriously.

I agree with you about everything you said except for the part about Michael Moore. I think he is sincere about everything he preaches. The problem is he uses deceptive techniques, and blatant lies to try and persuade Americans to his point of view. And I happen to know a large number of people who eat up every word he says. He is taken seriously by some, and that makes him dangerous.

I think Moore is one of the few people in the media that is trying to expose a very corrupt government.

At least Michael Moore is sincere. Ann Coulter is nothing but an opportunist. Think a blowhard like Ann Coulter could even come close to making a statement as eloquently as Moore has with Roger & Me & Bowling for Columbine? No because she has no heart for what she says. She's a phony.

Fact is Michael Moore has been around feeling the way he feels, saying what he thinks for the last twenty some odd years, regardless of who was president and what the national "mood" was. Ann Coulter is nothing but a media tramp trying to make a few bucks off the fact that she can string together words to make enough exploitative and outrageous statements that get the ignoramuses nodding their heads & clapping their hands like wind-up monkeys. Yeah, real fine accomplishment there.

Ann Coulter has not devoted her life to destroying people. The 'less than thinking types' point to Ann's extreme marks--extreme exaggeration for effect which is her style and never meant to be taken seriously by thinking people--and say how evil she is. But her journalism is outstanding. You have to look long and hard to catch her in a factual error.

Michael Moore may be 100% sincere but that makes him all the more reprehensible because he uses half truths and incomplete truths and mistruths and made up 'truths' and flat out lies with the express intention of bringing somebody down. He is reprehensible and an embarrassment to any who value solid journalism or truth in reporting.

He is Better Than Many Other Reporters, so I guess we must not have many good reporters or journalists in this country. And Also, What Flat Out "Lies"? I'm Sorry but I dont know what you are referring to there.

There were so many errors and flat out misrepresentations in 911 Fahrenheit that even some of my most liberal, anti-American correspondents who have a measure of integrity were very embarrassed by it. He didn't do a whole lot better with Bowling for Columbine. His reporting is mostly innuendo, invective, insult, and speculation with a few incomplete facts thrown in to give the appearance of authority.

Liberals love him. Responsible journalists, even leftish leaning ones, give him no credibility at all.

(Am I saying he gets every single thing wrong? No I am not. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then.)

I might if it were correctly marketed as a work of fiction. The women is either insane, or a moron. She is like the Micheal Moore of the Right, but much more extreme and even less informed. She preaches to the choir, but to the other 80% of Americans or so that are not on the extreme right, she just makes you look stupid. If there is a liberal media, then she is the liberal medias best friend.

Moreover, at least Micheal Moore is a sleazy hatemongering populist. Coulter is just a sleazy hatemongering biggot.

Give me some examples of responsible journalists giving Michael Moore no credibility at all. Roger & Me and Bowling for Columbine were both highly praised pieces of journalism. (And just for the record, Moore has always been frank about the personal slant of the politics in his films - that doesn't mean that he lies to make his points - although it makes it extremely easy for opponents to discredit him by claiming he does.)

Why is that conservatives have so much trouble dealing with the warts of America? We have them, get over it. America is very violent place. General Motors destroyed the city of Flint by moving their plants to Mexico. What is so wrong with caring about these things? I don't get it! It doesn't mean you don't love your country to see them. What good does it do America to blindfold yourself? Is that what you do with your children? If your child does something wrong do you blame it on the liberals? The only reason America exists is because some people wanted a freer, less restrictive society for their children. They were the people who questioned the status quo. I hardly think this country's founders would be the ones trying to suppress curiosity and free thought in this age. They wouldn't call people traitors just because they questioned the powers that be. I get so tired of this backwards rhetoric - rhetoric spewed because questioning blows a hole as big as Texas in your repressive philosophies as they apply to the principles of freedom and democracy. I'd like to see all you right-wingers come out of the closet and admit that what you're really after is a less free and fair form of democracy and stop trying to hitch a ride on the backs of those who spoke so eloquently and frankly for the creation of this country. I'd have a lot more respect for you if you did.

Sorry I guess I went off on a tangent there.

Also, while your at it, give me a list of the lives that Michael Moore has so wantonly destroyed? This should be good.

The only good reviews Michael Moore has gotten are from the far leftwing media sources and Hollywood who is unabashedly anti-anything-conservative. And based on your self-admitted 'tangent' on the sins and failings of conservatives, I won't bother spending time coming up with the reviews panning Moore that you can most certainly look up for yourself.

I don't find anything that I wrote that suggests that he has 'ruined lives'. Frankly he has insufficient credibility to do anyone much harm. Your phrasing it that way would suggest that you read into text what you wish to be there.

I accept your self-admitted 'tangent' as what you believe, and because of the unsubstantiated opinions regarding who and what conservatives are, it does seem to explain why you are so enamored with Michael Moore who uses the same sorts of unsubstantiated opinion in his (cough) journalistic efforts that parallel your point of view.

Both of you are quite clear in what you think and what you believe. You are both quite entitled to your opinions. Neither of you can claim authority by virtue of having supported those opinions.

You weren't referring to Michael Moore here? If not, I apologize.

I had him in mind, yes. "Devoting ones life' to doing something is not the same thing as accomplishing it though.

However outrageous it sometimes seems, Ann Coulter aims her commentary as a conservative enthusiast and discredits people who attack conservatives or conservative ideals/initiatives unfairly and says specifically, with verifiable facts, what the real scoop is. She makes no pretense at political correctness and that drives liberals berserk. Of course she does it on purpose. She may be harsh and outrageous and impudent and sometimes comes across as downright mean, but she does not falsify information in order to makie her point.

Michael Moore attacks people personally and does his best to demonize them in the minds of the public and he uses innuendo, half truths and outright fabrications to do it. In my world, that is contemptable.
