Ann Coulter strikes again.

[OrangeEmpire]

There are so many double-standards here it's sickening.

k:

All for the sake or argument, why take it so personal?

We like to talk about hard subjects.

 

[emainvol]

Her number one goal is to be the most polarizing person on tv or in print.

and we reward her for it with more airtime, while we fire Don Imus for a slip-up.

 

[GAVol]

There are so many double-standards here it's sickening.

What's the double standard? I think everybody readily admits that she's a windbag that says outrageous stuff in order to garner publicity. She's no different than any number of self promoting pundits from all sides.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Oh, that's a cop-out. If I don't think the media should devote so much time to pundits, all the sudden I don't believe in freedom.

Who said you do not believe in freedom?

hmy:

that was not a reference to anything you have said. I am saying in general.

To clarify further, there are double standards amongst those who use people like Coulter for ratings.

We didn't fire IMUS, IMUS was fired because he was not able to generate money for MSNBC.

I guess the same way they reward the leader of the New Black Panther Party with airtime. It is what it is.

 

[utvolpj]

it all depends on who you insult. Jackson and Sharpton get away with worse but no one would dare fire them. On second thought, do they even have real jobs?

hmy:

I'm serious, OE is a complete stud.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

I guess the same way the reward the leader of the New Black Panther Party with airtime. It is what it is.

Sadly, it is all about money.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

that one I won't go back on. that's the way I read your statement, forgive me if I am wrong, but it seemed to be very black and white.

I have no idea where you are coming from.

:blink:

 

[emainvol]

We didn't fire IMUS, IMUS was fired because he was not able to generate money for MSNBC.

Imus was fired by CBS radio as well.

 

[allvol123]

Yep.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

Imus was fired by CBS radio as well.

All about the money.

 

[emainvol]

:blink:

it's cool, nothing personal. just the way I interpreted your statement, you know, wrongly.

You sexy beast.

 

[OrangeEmpire]

it's cool, nothing personal. just the way I interpreted your statement.

How did you read it?

:dunno:

 

[emainvol]

How did you read it?

:dunno:

don't worry about it, I got on my soapbox and took it as a shot. I will now go back and edit prior statements regarding this to read "OrangeEmpire=Sexy"

:lolabove:

LOL!

:hi:

:lolabove:

LOL!

:hi:

did you go back and read them?

 

[MG1968]

I just want to make sure I am clear on something though, MG you are not possibly defending this witch are you?

sure. She just said, albeit in a very undiplomatic way, what a lot of Christians believe, since Jews don't view Christ as the Son of God and the Messiah their theology isn't as "advanced" (I can't think of a better term offhand). Coulter wasn't saying that Jews are bad people and she's hardly anti-Semitic she is very pro-Israel.

If you want anti-Semitic ramblings, look no further than Jimmy Carter.

 

[VOLatile]

I saw this Waste of Air's book on the stands the other day, she's useless and so are most of the left wing nuts that are like her but with different views. The world doesn't need these people. They're just there to fund stupidity among people that don't know.

A very Voltaire-esque defense on the statements then I take? That I can live with.

And you will never find me to be much of a Jimmy Carter apologist.

you noticed that too? We have some characters here at the Nation.
