True, when Jonathan Swift engaged in satire, as he often did, he did catch quite a lot of grief.

Anyway, … I remember Coulter being attacked because one of her books lacked footnotes. Turns out they were right. In that book, Coulter used ENDNOTES. * But the criticism is out there. No footnotes. Boo.

You can tell that the criticism is having an impact on Coulter. Look at how thin she is. Her supporters should buy her books so she can buy some food.

You can see how thin she is on BookTV … although the camera adds many pounds to her frame.

Good Grief… it was satire! About a guy who KILLED 60,000 babies.

pick a priority…

She used the words of pro abortion people to make a point.

No kidding. He is one of the most dipicable human beings on the planet - a mass murderer… And it’s Ann Coulter that is wicked??? Really???
 
Tiller died in the exact way that he lived. While I condemn Tiller’s homicide, I condemn Tiller’s behavior equally. I really believe he was one of the worst people that ever existed. I see no difference between him and pol pot. His life’s work was to rid the world of human beings.

I don’t know why but that made me laugh. I guess it’s the low key reaction to liberal screeching.

Thanks, Ann, for saying what I think, or at least saying it more pointedly than I.

Ann sticks a fork into the Liberals’ double standard. No wonder they squeal. MAYBE … maybe … the average voter will finally get the message that the Libs have and demand respect for their double standard … that “passion” by the liberals is no substitute for logic [mathematical tyranny … the tyranny of numbers … that you can’t spend more than you make] and morals [and family values].

This is the women who said about Muslims:

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.

Yea, Forced conversion, and Killing civilians without abandon, such a nice funny girl.🤷

You do realize that she was using the language of the brand of Muslims that would kill us, and turning the tables?

There are Muslims (not just an insignificant few) that want to invade our countries, kill our leaders and convert us to Islam. Islamic Haddith says that there are three options for infidels: Convert to Islam, or be subjugated, or be killed.

Perhaps you should direct the indignation to the original authors of such language, instead of a person who highlights the extremism of their language by inserting a different target into that language.

This is exactly what she has done with Tiller and the language of the pro-abortion/choice crowd.
 
The troubling aspect to this thread is that it seems that there are many Catholics (if we use this thread as a sample of Catholic’s opinions), who get outraged by people who speak rather forcefully against those who committ abortions, but are not troubled by the evil in the soft language of the pro-abortion/choice crowd.

What is more evil: A sarcastic statement saying “Tiller was terminated in the 203rd trimester of his life”, OR a straight forward statement saying “I suppport a woman’s right to choose”?

What is worse: A person sarcastically saying she opposes killing abortionists, but she doesn’t want to impose her morallity on someone else OR a president who wants to take your tax dollars and fund the killing of the unborn (and who will vote for the Freedom of Choice Act, and who voted against a bill that would require medical treatment for babies who survived an abortion)

Perhaps we, as Catholics, need to take a step back and evaluate where our indignation should really be directed…

Isn’t “a woman’s right to choose” a lovely soft expression?!!

A woman, in many places, does NOT have the right to choose … to home school her children. OR to carry a pistol for self-protection. Or to protect her children against non-Catholic child molesters. [Hey, if a child-molesting priest joined NAMBLA would that make it alright? Just wondering … double standards and all that.]

Right to choose. yeah, right.

How do you distinguish that from a judgment? I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with applying your judgment to the situation at hand, but let’s not apply a double standard.

That would be nice. Unfortunately the reality is that laws do guide people.

While Tiller was evil and worked to kill the inconvenient, he killed far fewer than Pol Pot. Yes, all murder is evil, but as the Church teaches, two mortal sins are worse than one. In the same way, one million murders are worse than half a million. (The numbers are an estimate. The murders were not.)
 
You can’t fight cancer with a cotton ball.
Ann C. doesn’t mince words. She intellectually grabs hold of a situation or happening
and injects biting humor in order to underscore the truth of an issue. She’s
hardwired to do that. And I find it amazing that she was brought up in a family that
could provide the kind of strength to allow a child to develop such a unique skill.
She’s fearless. She takes responsibility by putting her hand to the plow and
doesn’t look back. She’s free.

The others who hide behind clever wording are the ones to watch out for.
Like the so-called Catholic woman who got into a shouting match with Bill O’Reilly
and insisted that what Tiller did was OK because it was “lawful.”
O’Reilly told her she had blood on her hands.

We need to be listening carefully to the rhetoric or else be hoodwinked.
 
Tiller committed legal mass murder. 60,000 dead babies. [Some years ago, a New Jersey judge ruled that abortion is legal execution.]

And someone who shall remain nameless is worried about Coulter having used “hateful” language.

Does anyone see a disconnect?

I do.
 
Killing is wrong… point blank, our faith tells us this. I would never be happy or even apathetic over the killing of a person. I believe that if anyone believes the killing of an abortionist is justifiable , they need to look at their own beliefs.

I am writing this to say that killing is killing… babies or adults… able to defend themselves, or not. The point is that comments were made, in a round about way, to justify taking the lives of others. Killing a person is killing a person, regardless. I know I cannot say that one person is more important than another, it is not my place!

I know you have said that you are just coming back to Catholicsm. By “our faith” do you mean the Catholic faith? Because the Catholic Church does NOT teach that all killing is “wrong… point blank”. The are quite a few types of justifyable killing such as in war, self-defense, accidents, etc. Nothing round-about about it. Neither abortion nor gunning down an abortionist is justifyable. But it isn’t because one person is not more important than another or one life not more precious than another. It is because of circumstances and intent.

Well fortunately nobody in this thread said killing is good nor jusified the killing of an abortion Doctor.

Now that we have diposed of that lets take it a step further-is voting for those who support killing our children bad also OR do you beleive it was proper to punish those who ran the gas chambers but not not those who hired them to do so?

Ms. Coulter was using a kind of humor to draw our attention to a truth.Her humor doesn’t appeal to everyone.I like her, though.But then I like Flannery O’Connor, too & she’s a might bit hard to take for some folks.
 
this is a kind of dry humor…giving the wordslayers their own medicine back into their face of course murder is murder and this was a terrible event…just what the ruling class wants…to thus with a broad brush paint we pro-lifers as unstable! I dont like this coulter dame one wee bit…too skinny and not very funny at that. Lets see what she says about the child abuser MJackson…if she is silent then we know she is a phony…tick tick tick…

Let me break it down… If you say one thing and practice another, you are not being true to yourself or your faith. By faith I am writing about anyone or everyone why follows a faith of love. I am not singling anyone out.
