Anti Ann Coulter column by David Horowitz


http://www.newsmax.com/cgi-bin/printer_friendly.pl?page=http://newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/7/8/155013.shtml

But now, to my dismay, I find myself unable to find such satisfaction in Conason’s reaction to Ann’s new book, “Treason,” or in the responses of other liberals like The Washington Post’s Richard Cohen (who has also attacked me in the past).

In a review in the Post, Cohen dismisses Ann’s book as “Crackpot Conservatism,” reflecting the fact that their responses are not so much yelps of outrage as cackles over what they view as an argument so over the top that only true believers will take it seriously. It is distressing when someone you admire gives credibility to liberal attacks. But that, unfortunately, is what this book has done.

Here is the opening of “Treason”: “Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason. You could be talking about Scrabble and they would instantly leap to the anti-American position. Everyone says liberals love America, too. No they don’t. Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. This is their essence.”

1. He's just feeling emasculated.
Ann Coulter is a better man than Horowitz any day of the week and he knows it!

He was almost convincing.

4. He accuses Coulter of painting with too broad a brush . . .
Edited on Wed Jul-09-03 02:40 PM by hatrack
. . . and promptly opens up a can of Sherwin-Williams interior latex (light pink) and goes and does exactly the same thing, since as liberals, we all "worship" Hillary Clinton.

Uh, excuse me David, but what did SHE have to do with your argument (such as it was)? What a moron.

And since I just finished reading an article from NewsMax, I think I'll go wash up now.

6. I used to read Horowitz
sometimes on Salon, and I eventually told them I would never join when he was on their payroll. He left and I paid my bucks shortly thereafter.

There is no difference between Horowitz and Ann the Man. Both are character assassins and if Horowitz had written Treason or Slander, I would have been unsurprised. The only real difference is that Horowitz is a far better writer. Not being as pretty, he has lost the TV appearance business to her.

8. Well, let's not start polishing our statues of Horowitz just yet . . .
All her really vitriolic spew-at-the mouth stuff he explains away as "satire." He even cites Jonathan Swift; oh brother . . . I just finished a graduate class in 18th-Century Brit Lit and believe me, Swift would eat that bitch for breakfast if he were alive.

He basically agrees with her message, he just quibbles with the way she presents it and is embarassed that it is so poorly done, the critics need only quote her instead of refute her.

I love it: the right wing has so radicalized itself, it can't get any more radical without parodying itself. Ann Coulter is the best thing that has happened to liberalism lately. Let her represent the right wing the way McCarthy did. Let her be the spokesperson for Bush, hehehe.

11. "Slut"??
She *wishes* she was desirable enough to be a slut.

Who would touch that with a ten foot pole?

12. Fund Raising With My Bush!
Fund Raising With My Bush!

I love fund raising for Republican candidates. I love it, and I can’t help it! I get off on getting all dolled up in my black short mini dress, and in my black silk stockings. I love the feel of the garter belt, with the little GOP Elephant embossed on the front of it. I love the feel of the silk stockings as they cling to my legs. I love the feel of my silk, lacy, white panties that protect my womanhood. I love the feel of my black, silk 36c bra, with lace, as each cup cradles my breast. Yes, I love to feel, and I love to be felt!

I see House Majority Leader Tom Delay of Texas. Tom is dressed in his usual khaki pants and shirt with the leather belt attached across his shoulder. Tom always knows how to dress. He has his black jackboots polished to a shine. He has a black tie neatly pinned to his khaki shirt. House Majority Leader Delay loves to stand for all to see. He also loves to be called, " Fuhrer Delay."

13. Liberals who don't want another war are truly un-American!Attack Iran Now!
Attack Iran Now!

http://www.republicanpress.com/Kuntly.htm

How long are the Democrats going to wait? President Bush has led this country through the war in Afghanistan, and the war in Iraq, and the War on Terror, and the Democrats are still nonbelievers! President Bush has declared victory on all three fronts! Sure, we haven't found WMD or Saddam or Bin Laden, but we have declared victory and that’s what matters most!

Oh Senator Daschle, I hate you..take me now.I cry out, as the tide of my love ocean crests, and the waves come crashing in upon my beaches.

I believe in all these good wholesome American values. I just can't understand liberals who question these principles or question our President. I get angry when I hear all these liberals and their questions. These liberals who don't want another war are truly un-American!
