Ann Coulter is proving my point; liberals don’t know how to debate conservatives

However, there is at least one Republican who wants to appear on The Ed Show. You might have heard of her. Her name is Ann Coulter.

She wants to be on The Ed Show so badly that she actually called Schultz a “lying pussy” as an apparent means of motivation. She did this on Twitter last night in response to Schultz saying that Republicans don’t like to appear on his show.

The full tweet reads: “Invite me on your show, you lying pussy.”

Will Coulter’s call to action work? Time will tell.

It won’t.

There are some liberals who have the cojones to meet conservatives face to face and have that kind of discussion.  R.T. Rybak was one; he came on the NARN a few years back.  We had a great time.

But the sub-genre of liberals of whom Schultz is part?   Their entire oeuvre depends on never, ever leaving the echo chamber.  They do their bullying purely from within their little circle jerk.

Like a vast swathe of Twin Cities liberals – they splinter like Wal-Mart end tables when they have to try to sustain an actual debate.

Because most Minnesota liberals can not debate .

Schultz is a classic example.  The painfully polite and effortlessly erudite Michael Medved made him look like a badly-trained dog at a debate in the Twin Cities a few years back; Schultz was reduced to trying to mock Medved’s Harvard degrees, and calling yours truly (a co-moderator of the event) an “a-hole” on the air the next day.

I’ve spent six years now trying to invite Amy Klobuchar, Al Franken, Betty McCollum, Keith Ellison and even Representative Heather Martens on the NARN.   Bupkes.

Even a barking seal like Schultz knows his limitations.  If he let Coulter in the studio with him, within ten minutes of the mikes going live he’d be trussed up like a turkey (rhetorically speaking) and sputtering like a badly tuned lawn-mower (not rhetorically).

    Liberals are rather easy to debate against (hence why they don’t like to go on non-lap dog venues. They tend to get into goofy conspiracy theories (the Koch brothers are funding you), vague unsupported political statements (the corporations control this country), and/or personal insults (you’re a racist).

    As any politician knows, if you are ahead during a campaign, you don’t want to debate your underdog challenger. You have nothing to gain. That is how it is with liberal politicians in Minnesota. Imagine what Al Franken would say if anyone asked him if any of his cocaine dealers ever murdered a policeman.

    I am surprised that he hasn’t had a rage induced stroke on some of his shows. There was one toward the end of last year when this draft dodging jack weed decided to mock, ridicule and scoff at a veteran that called into his show. Of course, Rantin’ Eddie knows everything and cut the man off. In my opinion, that veteran deserves a Silver Star just for having the guts to call that loud mouthed punk! He certainly has 100 times the credibility of Schultz.

    As the brother of a liberal, I’d agree that they’d be easy to debate if they allowed the rules of logic. In general, that’s a bad assumption. I remember one time he refused to even consider the implications of a hypothetical assumption–you know, “if this is true, would this not follow?”. No dice, and the guy has degrees from Harvard and Berkeley. We are not talking about a dummy here.

    My take is that 150 years of government education–pushing logic and rhetoric out of the curriculum to the point that one can get a Ph.D. without ever darkening the door of a basic logic class–has dumbed down the electorate, possibly to the point of no return.

    …..calling yours truly (a co-moderator of the event) an “a-hole” on the air the next day.

    And if I recall correctly, he also kept calling you “Mitch Craig.”

    Jeez. I had forgotten that.

    You could see his guard go up when I told him I was from Jamestown. His first wife was from there – and I’m sure he suspected that I knew her family, and her story about being married to him. He was right, of course; her younger brother was a good friend, and she was a star student of my dad’s.

    No wonder he’s such an abrasive prick. It’s either defensive or pre-emptive.

    He may have taken umbrage, also, at my noting that I’d watched his sportscasts…in high school .

    Prior to the passage of Obamacare (euphemistically known as, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) I was driving through Fargo and picked up Ed’s show. He was going on and on about how his wife’s (I’m guessing his 2nd?)pre-existing conditions were costing him better than $1,000 a month in premium (left unsaid of course is that he is well compensated and owns a number of companies broadcasting and other related). A caller, who identified himself as a health insurance agent wanted to counter the disinformation Ed was putting out and tried to use as an example the story Ed told about his (Ed’s) wife. Old Fast Eddie wasn’t having any of that! He condemned the man for making it “personal” by using Ed’s wife’s story as an example. When they guy pointed out that Ed made it “personal” by complaining about his premium due to his wife’s pre-conditions, he was quickly cut off.
    Schultz is an a**. Laura Ingraham handled him pretty well and all would do well to follow her example.

    Coulter would take the wind out of the blowhard Schultz.
