Wait--is she the lady who calls people retards? Mama Palin must be really ticked off about that.
I am sure she has called a few people retards. That is the nature of her columns and on air personality. She only reserves the word "retard" to those who richly deserve it. Somebody has to give back these A-wipes what they have been giving to conservatives without consequence. No, Sarah would not be upset. She knows exactly what Ann means by "retard" and whom it is directed toward. She also knows that Ann would never even dream of saying what some liberals have said about her down syndrome grandchild. Now, that is downright nasty, hateful mockery. "retard" is a common word in english slang and Sarah is not hung up on poltically correct usage of words. It is all the motivation. If you cannot see the difference in motivation toward Sarah between Ann and the liberal cretins who mock her grandson, you have no hope.

I would guess they would act in the same way about someone they see as a rabble rouser from the political left.
One can only be a rabble rouser if there is someone there who is rousable. You cannot stir up an angry mob from a group of people who agree essentially with what you espouse. No one from the politically left could ever raise the blood pressure even slightly of most of the students on college campuses. And the ones like me who do get their blood pressures raised significantly by them do not speak up because they don't want to stand out like a sore thumb or end up getting arrested or expelled.

copy and paste random editorial columns from any non conservative paper in this country. It will be an easy job for me to show you the hateful rhetoric.

Ann Coulter referred to biology as a fake science because it has the highest participation by women of a scientific field.
Could you explain exactly how that's a reflection of the "ugly rhetoric of the left"? Please be specific.
Context please. What article in what publication or what speech was that statement derived from?

The gold they give to Ann.
She's smart enough to understand her shtik would never make any money in any other audience and at most she might create a shtuss.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

I hate to pile on, but really, I simply can't let this pass.
And the ones like me who do get their blood pressures raised significantly by them do not speak up because they don't want to stand out like a sore thumb or end up getting arrested or expelled.
Please, give me examples of anyone in this country who has been arrested or expelled from any public university for something they said. Either that or acknowledge that any fear of expulsion or arrest that you have is baseless paranoia.

I think it was in Godless, maybe? Let me check. Yeah, Godless:

Again - how is that a "reflection of the ugly rhetoric of the left" and not simply a reflection of Ann Coulter's own self-hating sexism?

Either you are lying or you are parroting bad information. Again. This is not true.
Late yesterday, Fordham received word that the College Republicans, a student club at the University, has rescinded its lecture invitation to Ann Coulter.
Fordham is not known as a bastion of liberalism, that could be because it is a Jesuit Catholic school.
Jesuits are very liberal people. I guess we have different ideas of what it means to be liberal or conservative politically. Anything that is right of pure marxism is conservative in your eyes it appears. I don't know what you mean by parroting. You keep accusing me of that. I guess you don't know what that word means either. All I did was read an article from Slate Magazine. All I did was summarize my understanding of it. It seems you got your story from somewhere else and have the story slightly twisted.

Maybe I can save us all a lot of time.
Anything negative conservatives say about liberals is okay because, no matter how hateful it might initially appear, it is merely true.
Anything negative liberals say about conservatives is merely hateful, because it isn't true.
Given the above, you see no need to present any evidence at all to support your views on the matter.
Does that pretty much cover it?
If so, the grownups can stop feeding the troll and resume adult conversations.
