Does anyone have a link to Coulter's statements. I have not read what she said.

They are not unlike Cindy Sheehan who uses the casket of her son as a soapbox to stand on but turns into a greiving mother the minute she gets criticized. It is a disgrace what that woman has done to the memory of her heroic son.

I have nothing but respect for Casey Sheehan. That young man died because he volunteered for a rescue mission he did not have to go on. His bitch of a mother calls his killers "noble freedom fighters." The insurgents killed the wrong Sheehan in my book.

What I don't understand is why did these women get money from the goverment, when the families of Oklahoma Bombing didn't receive anything but some counseling?

Hodgepodge,
Here are some Ann Coulter quotes. These are just a few of the many Coulter quotes. I'm warning you though, you might puke after reading them. I almost did.

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

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

"The swing voters -- I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster."


"We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals."

"There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats."

"Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America.

While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security.

Geee..
The first post is just aplea for companionship
( and of course an attempt to smear, malign, and ATTEMPT to evade her underlying points.
Points like:
the smear campaigns against HUAC and anti-communists during the fifties..
and of course the hysterical defense of the Rosenbergs ( admitted sympathizers who SPIED and stole nuclear secrets. )to this day..
( not to mention their spawn is a propagandist apparatchik in these events)
..Funny, I didn't notice any of these opinions accurately define or represent ANY named 'pundits'.. and in no way, shape or form, was the CONTENT of their message even addressed.
Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage have extremely different styles of rhetoric, persona, and perspective. The content and tactics and the underlying values are not the same, the way they attempt to persuade their ( voluntary) listeners to their evaluations
( exactly what we all do.)
are very different also.
Rush Limbaugh is from Missouri. Although from well-to-do-roots..Limbaugh does basically speak as a representative voice for the traditional American people. I would place him as a conscious and active supporter of the
conservative republican party.
BUT, he is not an uneducated, vulgar and uncouth man.
( In a way.. his speech patterns and inflections remind me of Johnny Carson,
and HIS humor was not a high-brow and subtle style.)
Under all of a pompous schtick IS a foundation of knowledge and familiarity with American media that weaves in and out of his show.
Attacks on his premises are non-existent. They focus on mislabeling Rush an extremist.
he is the unofficial voice of a political party of a democratic republic. It MUST be fairly moderate. And it is. But Rush is also an American who is NOT a puppet of his party. He often criticizes republican politicians.
His critiques of pres Bush' remarks, policies, or consequences have been some of the most excoriating. It was Rush who questioned the choice of judges
and it was Rush who first reviewed and objected to the Supreme Court
USURPATION of rights in Eminent Domain.

Michael Savage is a New York nutritionist. educated in a field that allowed for an almost Hemigwaynian life. His career did not prepare him for public punditry, and his outraged, personal, and gratingly provacative style
is a populist and aggressive one. it is not for weak minds, and he is a blunt and provacative 'schtick' of his own.
Savage is also well read, and has a depth of knowledge that underpins his extreme opinions.
He is both a media personality( with all that ego play) AND an outraged American. he is definitely NOT a voice for the republican party, but he does voice the frustration and anger of many conservative working class Americans of that "take back the government" position.
Michael Savage is NOT an ignorant, or imbecilic man; but he does hold extremist and uncompromisingly patriotic values and opinions.
He seems like a man more likely to act more impetuously than elected officials should.
The one name not mentioned
is Bob Grant.
Erudite and old school, Bob Grant had no time for fools
A master of english and communication. He stayed true to himself and his intellect.
And he addressed the Nation as a man arrogant and confident in his purpose.
HE was railroaded and smeared for bombastic and blunt opinions
by a media/left cabal that ALWAYS evades WHAT these men say
and cries over outrage over their "feelings".
Deal with content and stop repeating shallow opinions found everywhere
( unless of course you really DO have an opinion that average and unknowledgeable, and then we will dismiss it as such)
Unlike what you all can do to the opinions of these men.
Ann Coulter, and Laura Ingraham, Wafa Sultan, Ayn Rand, Jeanne Kirkpatrick,
Margaret Thatcher these too are minds and speakeras who are direct and rational.
NO attacks, from the myriad media buzzards, or the squawking repeaters
EVER take apart the analyses, content, or conclusions.
I know the feeling.
All of us rational and mature humans do.

Now if you were an enemy of a country..
and you "felt" that a lot of those citizens could be provoked into just such righteous anger..
would you call them names and threaten them?

And it just might make peaceful but excitable people to
think twice about it.

That Iran and its president are crazy, but I thought that was common knowledge.

At least moderate and elected leaders might think twice about making serious and blunt military threats.
A moderate, mature political and social would restrain public spokesman ( like his nations clerics) from provoking lower class extremists into religious zealotry or political violence.

At least a moderate leader wouldn't just leap to outraged indignance.
( see history and current events)

Although an extremist and immature, and resentful and desperate leader might.
