Oh, she must be huge with the five year olds, but to call her a half-wit is an insult with those to with any wit at all.

She rehashes the oldest and crudest possible stereotype and thinks being shrill enough will make it all of a sudden new and exciting.

You and Coulter have something in common -- retorting to stereotype-based slander because you can't formulate effective counter-arguments against the issues at hand.

Well, they're attending the "spawn of satan convention", so presumebly they are satan worshipers. (I guess Kerry is Satan.)

And yeah, I guess it's good you only think negatively about women.


She does mention the men, though. They're the 'effiminate' 'timid' and environmentally concerned wimps that never ask out the 'pretty girls' *cry* I guess that's why coulter hates them so much.

Hey, don't badger Ben, he agreed with me that her thoughts are excreable, her imagination putrid, her commen sense non-existent, and her wit deficient in the most absolute manner possible.

In short, she is a pathetic pimple on the ass of a worm of the Repug party.

She's not gracious, nor is that her purpose. Like I said, she's ice cream compared with more filling fare. You can't live all the time on a diet of ice cream, but it's nice to have once in a while.

You call this wit? She is so full of bitterness that she can't even get her crap published. Which of course prompts her to post it on her website and froth even more at the newspapers for 'censorship'.

Yeah, shooting yourself in the foot and making an ass of yourself sure is witty!


She's not the clever satirist that I think you're making her out to be. She's a desperate frothing lunatic that actually believes every word she says, and expects herself to be taken serious. It's not exageration.

Satirists are never popular with the elite in the time in which they write. Time will tell how she will be regarded. Satirists are much needed, and balance is needed to poke the balloon of the liberals.

By using hyperbole to make her point? Only the liberals take her seriously, or assume that she means precisely what she says. Her job is to point out the flaws by blowing them out of proportion, rather than airbrushing them out of the picture.

It doesn't. BUt then, you aren't anywhere closer to an answer.

Which means nothing at all, since you haven't mentioned anything that would be unpopular in your attempt to defend her excreable writings.

But I can point to enought highly popular gutter crap (like Fear Factor, most Reality Television, large sections of teen pop) to show being popular has little to do with being witty.

Which I hinted at in my earlier post. Only time will tell how she will be regarded. We are all too partisan to examine her artistic merits.

If she hates the 'liberal media' so much, why's she submiting collumns to them?

quote:
Which it is, and she's upheld in the court of public opinion.


I tend to agree with the newspaper when they said that this piece was "unussable" and "not funny" I think they're looking for political commentary that might actually have some insight into the democratic convention, rather than this article full of childish name-calling and vitriolic frothing that barely even mentions the convention at all.







quote:

The only people who take her serious are herself, and fellow lunatics. If you are saying that only liberals are angered by her, and it's all some clever plot to poke fun at them, you are even more wrong. Republicans and conservatives are usually the first to say what a nutjob she is, because they're the ones actually threatened by her (through association). "Liberals" just laugh at her desperation and bittnerness.

Have you seen her interviewed or read transcripts? She takes herself completely seriously, and she expects people people to do the same. She's a genuine grade A lunatic. It's cute that you're so naive to think it's all some clever satire to making subtle jabs liberals, but there is nothing clever or subtle about her writings - it's all vicious, desperate, hateful frothing.
