Iraqi's want US to stay awhile

Ann Coulter is an illustration of exactly what is right in America today.  It is called free speech, which includes the freedom to be held up to ridicule for what you say.  Note Michael Moore, another example of free speech run amok, and Lord bless him for it say I! :D

I find Coulter a bit mean spirited, afflicted by tunnel vision, and a bit shrill, just as I find Naom Chomsky and James Carville a bit much to take for all of their wit.  Al Franken, while funny now and again, is a windbag on the order of Rush Limbaugh.  Two sides to a coin, those two.  They could both use a nice fresh cup of ShutThe#$%&Up, but free speech is their right. 

Is your objection that as an intelligent, attractive woman, she should only be a Liberal? 

What's the problem here?  Does she not fit your preconceived notion of what a conservative is?

I appear to be misunderstood.

Free speech has nothing to do with it... my ONLY concern in both of my posts was to point out that the washington times piece that was originally quoted was bollucks, and extremely misleading.

My inclussion of coulter has absolutely nothing to do with anything other than the fact that she too, is quite liberal in her use of the truth. She can take any position she wants and defend it till she is blue in the face, and i'd have no problem with it. The problem is when she (and you accurately point to michael moore as her liberal counterpart in this) distorts the truth to prove her point. I'm all for stats, but they don't always say what people say they do, and misquoting, whether completely or by omission, is lying.

(by omission is like doing this:
Said: 'Its not like i'm saying bush is a genius' --- very different from
Quote: 'i'm saying bush is a genius')

As for a preconceived notion of what a conservative is, being liberal or conservative has nothing to do with lying (or, if lying is black and white to you, 'shaping the truth so that it is only a spectre of its former self' will suffice).

They're as far down the slippery spiral of rheteric i'll go in this post, i'd need much more energy to discuss chomsky and limbaugh!
