Coulter calls Tiller homicide "termination"

[Lujack]

I think Ann Coulter’s sense of humor is wonderful, especially when it catches liberals (no, not all liberals are Godless, but the ones who support abortion should definitely examine their conscience) in their own PC/newspeak language.

Actually, there was one small item I think Falwell got wrong regarding his statement after 9/11 that “the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians — who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle — the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’”

First of all, I disagreed with that statement because Falwell neglected to specifically include Teddy Kennedy and “the Reverend” Barry Lynn.

Hahaha, how funny. If you’re gay, you are directly responsible for 9/11. What a wonderful sense of humor. Oh, and somehow Ted Kennedy is the devil incarnate…hahaha.

I don’t know if Clinton is gay. But [former U.S. Vice President] Al Gore - total f__.

How hilarious. Those slurs crack me up every time.

These people can’t even wrap up genocide. We’ve been hearing about this slaughter in Darfur forever — and they still haven’t finished. The aggressors are moving like termites across that country. It’s like genocide by committee. Who’s running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA? This is truly a war in which we have absolutely no interest.

Total lack of empathy leaves me dying laughing…how funny that the brown people are dying.

You remember what a fabulous success court-ordered “desegregation” plans have been. Few failures have been more spectacular. Illiterate students knifing one another between acts of sodomy in the stairwell is just one of the many eggs that had to be broken to make the left’s omelet of transferring power from states to the federal government.

This is actually funny to me, because it really brings home the point that Ann Coulter would have been one of those nuts waving Confederate flags and screaming at James Meredith.

I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word “f____”, so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.

God, those slurs are so darn funny! How did I ever survive high school without these wonderful, wonderful jokes!

In 1960, whites were 90 percent of the country. The Census Bureau recently estimated that whites already account for less than two-thirds of the population and will be a minority by 2050. Other estimates put that day much sooner. One may assume the new majority will not be such compassionate overlords as the white majority has been. If this sort of drastic change were legally imposed on any group other than white Americans, it would be called genocide. Yet whites are called racists merely for mentioning the fact that current immigration law is intentionally designed to reduce their percentage in the population.

This is serious, but I find it hilarious. Why? Because I can envision Ann Coulter voting nativist in 1850, ranting about those darn Irish Papists, or maybe chanting “Who killa da chief?” fifty years later in New Orleans.

When we were fighting communism, OK, they had mass murderers and gulags, but they were white men and they were sane. Now we’re up against absolutely insane savages.

You’re right. Coulter is funny. But it isn’t her jokes. Its her incredible racism.

When 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 can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors.

Is this a joke? Because if it is, it would be disturbing. On the other hand, if its serious, its hilarious that people can be this insane.

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.

Hahahaha. Kill the liberals. Hahaha. So funny.

We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’s creme brulee. That’s just a joke, for you in the media.

Haha…wait, where’s the punch line? What sort of joke is that? “We need to kill him. Just joking. Haha.” She’s a regular Jackie Gleason!

I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote.

Combined with that court-ordered desegregation bit, we have a George Wallace voter right here. That strikes me as funny, but in a sick, twisted kind of way.

So if someone says something that is not funny, and then years later says something that is, the second cannot be a joke because years ago they weren’t joking??



I’m confused here.
Of what bearing are all of these quotes relative to the present discussion concerning her use of the term “termination?”

I don’t understand what you mean with this.

Because someone commented that her sense of humor is great. That was the first quote. Those quotes are about how “great” that sense of humor is.

 

[vz71]

Those quotes are about how “great” that sense of humor is.

Then you posit that the whole of her sense of humor, and the whole of what others find humorous in her comments, is illustrated in the handful of quotes you have dug up?

It is foolish to believe we can encompass the breadth of some else’s sense of humor based upon a handful of quotes.
Particularly of an author that has been published many times.

Those quotes exemplify her. What are her other jokes? Calling a college student “gay boy”, or calling the DNC the Spawn of Satan convention?

What makes her sense of humor so funny, because everything I could find is exactly along those lines?

I think “Spawn of Satan” is kind of funny myself…

 

[vz71]

Indeed humor is in the eye of the beholder.

I found that “Spawn of Satan” thing hilarious. But I must concede that there will be others that perceive the joke but do not find it funny, and others that will simply miss the joke entirely.

What makes a joke is the element of truth found in it.
Of those conservatives, there is humor found. Perhaps in the shared perception of the truth in various quotes from her.
Of those that deny the elements of truth in her statements, the joke is perceived but the humor is lost.
And of those that do not see any truth at all, there is not even a joke perceived, but an insult hurled.

 

[estesbob]

Kinda interesting how the political party’s react to those who make caustic but funny political remarks. In the case of the Republcian Party they get to go on all sorts of talk shows-in the Democrat party they try and put them in the Senate.

 

[Darryl1958]

She also said something like, “I am personally opposed to killing abortionists. But I don’t think I have a right to impose my morality on others.” Again, she was being sarcastic.

Liberals have got her coming around. She is obviously pro-choice on this side of the issue.

What is the joke? That Democrats are evil, hurhurhur? Or is there some deeper meaning?

Am I missing some sort of humor in the “Al Gore and John Edwards are gay, hahaha” remarks? I’m not sure I get it.

And of those that do not see any truth at all, there is not even a joke perceived, but an insult hurled.

What truth lies in the “Communists white, Arabs savage” line? I can see the satire that’s meant in the one about abortionists (although I’m just not a big fan of that sort of humor), but the others make no sense to me other than meanspiritedness.

Maybe I’m missing something; can anyone help me?

 

[SamH]

I seriously doubt it.

 

[Soutane]

She’s simply holding a mirror up to the hypocracy of the the pro-abortionists.Her line,"I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t want to impose my moral values on others,"says it all.How many times have you heard apologists for abortion utter a variation of this moronic statement?

I noted that one already, and said that I see the satire, although I’m not a big fan of that sort of humor. What about the others? If they’re serious, they’re abominable statements. If they’re jokes, I’m missing something.

 

[Darryl1958]

She’s simply holding a mirror up to the hypocrisy she is getting soft of the the pro-abortionists.Her line,"I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don’t want to impose my moral values on others,"says it all.How many times have you heard apologists for abortion utter a variation of this moronic statement?

that line of reasoning is finally getting through to her. She is going all soft and liberal on us.

What else could it be? It is not like she has ever used sarcasm in the past to get a point across.

Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazoned with the “F-word” are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling.

Catholics should actually get the historical allusions Coulter is using with this statement. Hard core Protestant that she is, I am a little surprised she even uses it, but then again she later compares herself to gay men, so there you go. The reference here is to the line St Peter used to describe himself being in Babylon, while he was actually in Rome. Jews would have inherently understood Babylon to be the belly of the beast so to speak, an place of great danger for them just as Rome was for St Peter and the Church.

So here Ms Coulter is deep in enemy territory surrounded by people that really loathe her and everything she stands for, communicating with people just like herself there, covertly, just like gays would in a biker bar, or Christians do passing around fish cards in modern Turkey or ancient to let each other know that they are Christians to anyone familiar with the symbolism.

It is a little too intellectually astute for my low-brow kind of humor, but I can see where a few of the Republican blue-bloods might snicker at the picture that Ms Coulter is painting here.

RE: Al gore is a fa_., on HardBall, as Ann pointed out it was a joke, and the fact that everybody laughed in the audience except for one questioner (who was actually laughing too as she got in her political punches), it was in reference to a feminist critique of men like Bill Clinton whose “raging heterosexual” promiscuity is an indicator of something quite the opposite. It follows the same logic as homophobia, where heterosexual overcompensation comes out in a compulsive need to prove one’s manhood over time and again.

It may or may not be a good analysis of Bill Clinton, who knows, but it is a feminist critique of people who exhibit his type of compulsive sexual behavior.

Again it is a little too high-brow for my blood, but it is good that Ann would stoop down to my level with the comment about Al Gore, so that we in the hoi-polloi might have something to laugh at too.

I think why many people like Ann coulter is because they are find themselves time and again stymied in their attempts to just speak the plain truth without having to jump through all the hoops of political correctness.

The desired response to someone like Ahmadinejad threatening to wipe Jewish Israel is unadulterated anger, that can only be adequately expressed in unapolgetic tones. Most anybody that would overreach like she does would become socially ostracized, or be relegated to extremist groups that they feel no kinship with otherwise.

But Ann Coulter has the looks and the charm and the correct gender to get away with her totally overreaching. Of course liberals are furiousat her, because they really can’t touch her. All the slurs and character assassination they typically use against their poltical enemies make them look just as mean spirited as she is when she really is only mimicking their own tactics. She is absolutely wicked and loving it. Tarring her with the typical label of self-righteous Christian just aint gonna work with her. anyone who tires will come off looking like an imbecile.

What is really, really funny is how mad she makes liberals, and there isn’t a darn thing that they can do about it, because-just look at her- she is the pretty one!

Men attack her and they come off looking gay,-especially when she is through with them- women attack her and they come off looking jealous and catty.

That is funny. Not good clean fun, but funny all the same.

That’s about the shallowest, most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Its a war of words, a war of ideas. If the humor of Ann Coulter is that she’s untouchable because she’s pretty (?) than she represents a depressing, terrible decline in our stands.

In 1964, when LBJ ran against Barry Goldwater, it was legitimately a war of ideas. Johnson won big, but the two did their best to honestly line up their ideas against each other (minus “Daisy”, which is badly overrated as the deal-breaker anyway). Ann Coulter is the opposite: win not by proving your idea better, but by making it look better. Win by putting on the bow and the wrapping paper, not by putting something worthwhile in the box.

Now, I’m a person who liked and still likes Barack Obama. However, I was badly disappointed on all sides of the 2008 campaign, because it wasn’t really about ideas as much as it should have been. Yeah, they went head-to-head and the debates were of good quality, but it was still ultimately soundbite politics, and I don’t think either Obama or McCain could have broken free if they tried. And people like Ann Coulter are a big part of that problem.

Men attack her and they come off looking gay,-especially when she is through with them- women attack her and they come off looking jealous and catty.

That is funny. Not good clean fun, but funny all the same.

Here’s another problem: Coulter seems to think like high school football players in a locker room. In other words: “hahaha, gaaay”. That is intolerable. Homophobia gets slung around a lot, but that’s the appropriate word for the attitude that calling someone gay is a greaaat insult. That was old by my sophomore year in high school.

Coulter Quote… “It took the Catholic Church hundreds of years to come up with the corrupt practice of papal indulgences.” Here is a link to the forum that shows she is Anti-Catholic… Rock on… I don’t think so!

Ann Coulter’s father was Catholic.

Why are people so much more outraged by Ann Coulter’s manner than by George Tiller’s life work? Too often squeamishness is taken for civility.

 

[Lujack]

Too often squeamishness is taken for civility.

There may be no virtue in squeamishness, but there is less virtue in demonizing and insulting your opponents because its easier than trying to convince them. Being nasty for the sake of being nasty is utterly idiotic.
