Should I read the new Harry Potter book or Ann Coulter's book TREASON: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.?
posted on June 19, 2003 02:46:17 PM newmlecher, as a bookseller you will appreciate this....There is a very cool book & video store about an hours' drive from me run by a family (mom and two grown daughters, I think). One of the daughters was ringing me up when someone came in and asked if they had Coulter's book. The mom, who was over behind the coffee counter, growled "Not only no, but he!l no." It was one of those moments where everything was quiet, and the mom has a really booming voice anyway, so everyone in the store heard her - most of them clapped and the coulterhead slunk out.
One of the daughters gently remonstrated with her mom for yelling at the customer, but mom wasn't buying it. She knew her audience - anyone smart enough to buy a lot of books could not be stupid enough to want to read that one unless they were suffering from bulemia and wanted to get worse!

Quote
At least we can be thankful that in the war on terrorism, we were spared the spectacle of liberals calling Osama bin Laden an “agrarian reformer.”
Make up an enemy and then attack.
(I didn't hear any liberals defend Osama)
For a bunch of 'conservatives' you're quick to shift on the reason for your stance.
Truth hurts e.a.g.???
I thought the war was on Iraq.
McCarthy still rules!!(With the aid of cross-dress'n J.E.Hoover)
I can see the headlines now-
***Dixie Chicks Found Guilty: Accessories After The Fact.***
Today Sunday 22nd June 2003 at 09:00 EST;
Our illustrious leader, during an address to devout patriots during segregated mass, put out a Fatwa calling for an American Jihad, demanding that for all true believers and those of righteous spirit, their duty was to go forth with bible and Amex card in hand and ‘Smite the Dixie Chicks’.
A number of U.S. radio outlets responded by dropping the group from playlists
One interviewee said-
"The pressure coming from the government and big business to enforce conformity of thought concerning the war and politics goes against everything that this country is about -- namely freedom," he continued. "Right now, we are supposedly fighting to create freedom in Iraq, at the same time that some are trying to intimidate and punish people for using that same freedom here at home. I don't know what happens next, but I do want to add my voice to those who think that the Dixie Chicks are getting a raw deal, and an un-American one to boot. I send them my support."
Tell this to the McCarthyites-
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin, 1759

Good points, austbounty. Seems the war is no longer (or was no longer) on Iraq but Right vs Left. Sure, I'm a registered Democrat, but I have voted for some candidates who are Republican. Not all those on the right are bad. Some have common sense. Not many of them, but there are some if you are willing to drag out the old magnifying glass and look.
My boyfriend is decidedly right. However, even he is becoming disillusioned with the current administration. The only thing he says he likes is that fact that we "kicked Iraq's butt and showed them who's boss". Idiot! He is in the minority of those on the right, however, because he doesn't think just that one thing should keep Bush in office. Why is it that the current administration could rob us blind, throw us all in a pit and set fire to it and the right would consider that okay because the "war on Iraq was a good thing"? That comment just makes the right look like a bunch of "he-man" war mongers.
The War on Iraq, whether or not you think it was a good thing, is just a drop in the bucket of the underhanded, underminded, shady, deceitful, schemeing, devious things this administration has done or is doing.
Read Ann Coulter's book? I'd rather read Uncle Tom's Cabin over and over and over. . .you get the idea.

These revelations about yourself are killing me Cheryl!
posted on June 22, 2003 09:04:14 AM newAnn Coulter sure does strike a nerve with the left. I guess the truth hurts!
She has been proved to be a big liar the Bill Clinton and GW Bush combined. She employs no fact checkers else she couldn't get a book out. She has been described as a b!tch who lives on chardonnay and cigarettes, and that is by those who like her.
And now she is defending McCarthyism? Soon she will be telling us what a great guy Hitler was. Oh, and she does like Hitler.
These revelations about yourself are killing me Cheryl!
Actually, I think I did kill my mother. Yesterday I attended the Summer Solstice celebration. I meditated with a monk, sat with a Shaman (named Yellow Feather) and got in touch with my animal spirit guide, listened to Cherokee story telling and drumming AND watched a Wiccan Spiral Dance. I have to go and call her now to make sure she's okay.

"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."

Ballad of Ann Coulter ~ to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies
Well, first thing you know Anne's a television star,
Ranting incoherently as a drunk in a bar,
The right wingers said Coulter was a lot of fun,
All she had to do was lie about Bill Clin ton.
Keep sayin' it... The Big Lie... Nazi style.
Got fired from her column, but she still rakes in the dough.
Those demons in her head are spoutin' and startin' to show,
She started out plain ugly without a lot to see,
The only thing worse could be her personality.

Maybe, but could you get past the strong smell of stale smoker breath..... And when the exercise got her to hacking and coughing halfway through.....

If a Democrat said anything remotely approaching this, he or she would be crucified on the Mall in Washington:
"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." -- Ann Coulter to George Gurley, New York Observer, August 21, 2002
Her only regret. She doesn't regret that 168 people died - including two young mothers there to get copies of their children's Social Security Cards, nearly 20 children under the age of five, a nurse who went into the building after the explosion to find victims and workers from many federal agencies.
She only regrets that it didn't go off in Times Square, where it would have killed - not just journalists, as I assume she intended - but possibly thousands of tourists and workers in nearby buildings. If you've ever been to New York, think about what that would mean. If you haven't been, then you can just remember what it would be like.
There are no words for how evil this woman is.
