Re: You just proved Ann's point

I get the idea, alright. You expouse the very attitude that (in general) Ann talks about.
Based on interviews I've seen with Ann, she is quite sharp and quick on counterpoints to liberals. Her verbal attacking style is obviously appealing to many folks. I haven't read her book, but she makes good points in her debates.
My big objection to her book is that I am godless, but a conservative. I am probably a very rare breed, based on the number of liberal writers at this forum.
Ann Coulter lies.

principals, not people
Funny, as I read this, it all sounds like a person bashing party.
I don't like some of the things rqb said she said, but do we have to bash the person, just because of what she stands for?
note: I am in no way sticking up for her.
Edited by riVeRraT, : rob to rqb

Re: principals, not people
eh, you know she enjoys it. i don't see ann coulter crying herself to sleep because something some anonymous putz on the internet said about her. if anything, the libel (slander is vocal, ann; written material is libel) from the left only confirms her conspiracist worldview.
which is as good a reason to stop as any.

I'm guessing you meant rgb rather than rob. I see 2 possible interpretations of your statement. (1) You haven't read the book and is only relying on my account to not like Ann Coulter's words. (2) You don't like what I said she said because you doubt that she actually said those things. Which is it?

Sure.
But most of us do not do so irresponsibly and maliciously in order to make truckloads of cash and obtain power and influence.
What, are you saying that I can't or shouldn't judge someone according to their actions?
I can and should.

Libel/slander must be knowingly false
As a public person, Ann would have difficulty suing for either libel or slander due to others' speculations about her personal habits. She has made herself a lightning rod for criticism through outrageous statements, and I'm sure she cries all the way to the bank.
In any case, the essence of both charges is falsity, and I don't think anyone has lied about Ann here.

She could sue and win in the UK - so UK posters beware!

Re: Coke Head
She can go the the rehab place that Rush Limbaugh went to.
The woman has problems to be sure. On another forum, someone claimed to have been in a college class with her, and thought she was a bitch then too.

Rat, my previous message was not meant as an attack or anything of the sort. I was truly confused.
But if it makes you feel better, I was leaning toward 1.
