????latest RW spin 'democratic spokespeople can't be attacked b/c
democrats only use crying women who've lost their husbands or sons.......or they're military like Kerry and Murtha and we can't attack a military person'!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

This is incredible. It was everywhere on RW talk radio Thursday. I particularly remember Boortz saying this.

I suppose it was a defense of Coulter's attack on the 9-11 women. Coulter was on almost every RW talk show Thursday.

1. So the fact that all Repug spokespeople...
...are amoral, cowardly, heartless, greedy perverts means that the GOP is playing fair, because nobody can have any qualms about attacking such odious pond scum? When you look at it like that, the GOP are really a bunch of great guys. Except for being scum, that is.

3. I guess that was all a figment of our imaginations.........
just like the purple heart band aids, that Jean Schmidt bitch calling Murtha a coward, and that time O'Lielly told the son of a 9/11 victim to shut up and basically threatened to spank him.

11. i remember hearing that & here it is:
""It has been a painful process to accept that President Bush failed us," said Patty Casazza, another of the Jersey Girls, and like Ms Breitweiser, a former Republican voter. "

6. Coulter is not 100% of the right wing - beside all RWers attack anyone
they have no limits.

Sounds like someone is selling the equivalent of "there is a left wing bias in our media" - selling something that is an obvious lie.

7. "Doctrine of infallability"
Ann Coulter kept coming back to this point during her interview with Matt Lauer the other day.

She kept calling it "the left's doctrine of infallability."

But as I keep pointing out, this argument just doesn't hold water.

She was using the Jersey Girls as an example of "the left's doctrine of infallability." But she failed to point out, and Matt Lauer failed to point out, that the most vocal of the Jersey Girls, Kristen Breitweiser, is actually a Republican who voted for George W. Bush in 2000. And she told Mary Jacoby from Salon that her support of John Kerry in 2004 did not mean she changed party affiliation. She told her "I'm not a Democrat."

Also, they conveniently forget people like Deena Burnett, who lost her husband on United Flight 93 on 9/11. And she spoke at the 2004 Republican Convention, as well as attended a "You Don't Speak For Me Cindy Sheehan" rally in Crawford, Texas, as a sign of support for Bush and the Iraq war.

So is Deena Burnett an example of THE RIGHT's "doctrine of infallability."

I talked about this on my blog here:

9. Yes, they're whining because character assasination is no longer working
Since they attack the messenger instead of the message, whenever someone of unassailable character has spoken up, the RW character-assasination team has actually had the gall to call "not fair."

What a bunch of whining assholes.

10. And what gets me
Is that not only is Ann Coulter's message morally reprehensible, but it's factually incorrect.

On the Today show, she said that the Jersey Girls "used teir political grief to make a political point, while preventing anyone from responding."

That's just not factually correct.

I don't recall any of the Jersey Girls trying to prevent anyone from responding to their message. They never said 'hands off me.'
