I don’t usually cite Andrew Sullivan but he’s got these people right when he said that they, unfortunately, were the new face of American Conservatism. I’m just not so sure of how “New” they are, though.

bullshit…I heard it and the response was laughter and applause.

Also, all your boys have disavowed her, as well they should.

rlc, I saw a clip of Coulter at CPAC, and the crowd didn’t “roar approvingly,” as I saw it. I think that the reactions were quite mixed, as many were startled, some gave polite response to an invited speaker, and some thought it was funny. You can view it on YouTube and reach your own conclusion.

Given your take on McCain and CPAC, it sounds somewhat like why Bush avoided speaking to the radicals left-wingers at the NAACP.

I looked at your post on O’bama and noted that you didn’t take a position on his racial pedigree. To me, it doesn’t matter, but to Democrats it does, and they don’t think that anyone is black unless he “thinks black.” If someone is black and a conservative, then Democrats simply reclassify him to Uncle Tom status.

Somehow, we can’t get back to discussing McCain.

I’ve been told that I have a bad “gay-dar,” so I just don’t get the referencing of faggot to Edwards. But, give me credit, I could see that with Al Gore.

Sure, both sides play that game, but I guarantee that the Democrats play it a lot more because they can get away with statements similar to ones over which the the press hounds the Republicans.

I’m not trying to drive people over to G.M.’s Corner, but today I did a quick post for the site on demands for apologies–of course, from my perspective. I get a little tired of apology demands and tired of speech codes.

Just what does it take Woody for one of these nutjobs to say something that goes too far?

I actually diepise bigoted humor…unless it involves blacks, Mexicans, or Arabs, and maybe women, and homosexuals, Yankees, French, or dolphins. Well, maybe not dolphins. In reality, I don’t like humor like that except for the Jewish jokes that my Jewish friends send me, which they are allowed to do. Redneck jokes are okay, too.

Ann Coulter is more of an entertainer than a political analyst. Consider this:

Stephen Colbert or Ann Coulter?

“In this pretty cool article about Stephen Colbert, New York Magazine offers up these quotes, each by either Colbert or Coulter, to prove… well, what does it prove? Coulter is doing comedy part of the time, right? …You might not think what she is saying is funny, but I think she’s motivated by comic energy, and the people who like her are picking up on the fun.”

Here’s one: “Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do. They don’t have the energy. If they had that much energy, they’d have indoor plumbing by now.”

I guess that you would have to know liberals to understand that one.

Are we still talking about McCain?
