Re: Ann's hyperbole

And they talk that way in tones of high dudgeon. Liberals seem to ALWAYS be talking in tones of high dudgeon, huffy moral indignation, shrill tones of denunciation as if they were the arbiters of all that is good and right and anyone who disagrees is, well, merely a "hater" or a "reactionary." Yes, they sound like a bunch of Victorian matrons passing judgment on some offense to their moral sense. Things of little real importance, in fact things that are CONTRARY in many cases to what's important and right. No sense of proportion, no sense of looking for compromise or respecting the views of the opposition, just total condemnation.

Wow! So you are the arbiter of what is good and right and anyone who disagrees with you.......

No sense of proportion, no sense of looking for compromise or respecting the views of the opposition, just total condemnation.

I guess you don't see the irony of your statements.

I'm going out of my way to defend her because I hate the way she's taken by liberals and I see what she's trying to do. She's trying to face down Political Correctness which is the basis for all that misguided moral indignation the liberals keep condemning us by, which is nothing but their own political agenda.

You seem to be expressing a lot of "misguided moral indignation" yourself, condemning anyone who disagrees with you for your own political agenda.

And just to be clear, Ann Coulter clearly said she wished Timothy McVeigh had killed the people she hates instead of the people he did kill. She approves of what he did, just not his target.

Why is it important to physically intimidate liberals?

That's an easy one. Because the conservatives know in their hearts that their arguments and philosophy cannot stand up to scrutiny and will never win our hearts and minds, so they think intimidation will shut us up.

Comparing liberals to traitors is an example their warped view of what America stands for..... a disgusting example.

Re: Ann's hyperbole / what is treachery

faith writes:

But be that as it may, there ARE ideas on the liberal side that could fairly be classed as traitorous from a traditional understanding of American history, and she's nailed it. Some things can't just be politely treated as a mere difference of opinion.

How about giving us some examples instead of running away every time someone asks for actual examples of your accusations.

Gee whillikers, foreveryoung, we've got a whole gaggle of the Thought Police on our trail now. I can't take the time to figure out what they're howling about right now

So now we're thought police?

You are the one throwing around accusations of traitorous ideas, faith.

As for hyperbole I'd certainly class how she used the phrase "physical intimidation" as that, to stand for using the execution of a traitor as an example and a deterrent.

Why stop there, faith? The obvious next step is to execute a few liberals (traitors) as an example and deterrent for impure thoughts. After all, some things can't just be politely treated as a mere difference of opinion.

The America you want is my scariest nightmare! It brings to mind images of Iran in the 1980s when people were executed for impure thoughts, images of all the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, when FEAR was part of everyday life.

What you want goes against everything good America has ever stood for!

the scandalous history of intentionally spreading sickness among native tribes to kill them off, for another. Good and bad not just the rosy glow of what you would like to believe occurred.

[sarcasm]Good grief, RAZD! You liberals are always trying to tear down America. At least we gave them blankets. [/sarcasm]

Given the emphasis on Catholic and Jesuit teaching, I would be rather surprised if they supported abortion ...

I'll bet their insurance carrier doesn't pay for birth control for their employees, either. I'm not sure about Viagra, though.
