Closed-Circuit to Ann Coulter: Keep your foot out of your mouth. Calling people “faggot” is bad form, and gives the bad guys cheap points; it’s like losing at touchdown because of a holding call.
Which is especially imporant, since when you don’t have all of your friends backing away for you because of dumb misbegotten “jokes” like calling Silkypony a “faggot” (and getting excoriated by the same people who insist John Kerry’s “be dumb and go to Iraq” jape was a “joke”, ironically enough), you really do hit the nail on the head.
Like with your latest Wpiece on Algore and Leo D, on your website:
[The global warming scolds] think they can live in a world of only Malibu and East Hampton — with no Trentons or Detroits. It does not occur to them that someone has to manufacture the tiles and steel and glass and solar panels that go into those “eco-friendly” mansions, and someone has to truck it all to their beachfront properties, and someone else has to transport all the workers there to build it. And then someone has to drive the fleets of trucks delivering the pachysandra and bottled water every day.
Liberals are already comfortably ensconced in their beachfront estates, which they expect to be unaffected by their negative growth prescriptions for the rest of us.
Arguing with a liberal about the environment:
CONSERVATIVE: Um, the Kyoto accords would spark a worldwide depression.
LIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords! Halliburton! Halliburton!
CONSERVATIVE: Er, actually Clinton – with Gore as his veep – kinda did that.
LIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords! Halliburton! Halliburton!
CONSERVATIVE: A global depression could starve tens of millions of people.
LIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords! Halliburton! Halliburton!
CONSERVATIVE: Um – hey, pitchers and catchers reported for spring training!
LIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords! Halliburton! Halliburton!
Coulter:
“Global warming” is the lefts pagan rage against mankind. If we cant produce industrial waste, then we cant produce. Some of us — not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess — are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans introduction to her book “Silent Spring” written by … Al Gore, and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.
That, and/or create policies to make mass human death pretty much inevitable.
If western agriculture becomes hobbled by massive, Kyoto-induced cutbacks in fossil fuel use for agriculture (not to mention the manufacture of things like tractors, fertilizer, pesticides and so on) ,who will feed all those people in Congo, Darfur, Somalia…
It’s just supposed to happen, right, Algore, Leo and Missy?
Man, what a boring thread. I saw that there were 50 posts here and thought there must have been something new and interesting said at some point regarding the issue at hand, but…nope. Someone has, in effect, hi-jacked this blog and it’s really lost some of it’s interest. The topics that Mitch brings up are always good and sometimes real good. But, when it comes to the comments, it has recently gone downhill fast almost every time. I’m not saying my comments are scintillating, but if I were the only one either making a comment or having someone respond to me over and over and over…well….
Colleen,
You mean you missed the dizzying rhetorical footwork that angryclown put on display here in this thread:
“I guess I should cut you wingnuts a break. Maggie Thatcher, Lynndie England, Condoleeza Rice – it’s not like you have a lot of hottie playing on your team. If it weren’t for Coulter and Eva Braun, you’d be completely out of spank material.”
or:
“That is pretty weak, Kerm. Do you live in some gated Aryan Nation condo development? ”
or this gem:
“If you’re stupid maybe.
Like rain on your wedding day, eh Bill C?”
Oh, that angryclown! He says the most outrageous things. If I were into assuming I was aware of his inner thoughts (or perhaps he and a group of those who hold a single characteristic in common with him), I would think that he wants to be the liberal mirror image of Ann Coulter.
Unfortunately, like Ann Coulter, much of what he says in gratuitous and ugly. *salutes angryclown*
The best part?
“So how long have you been a racist, angryclown?”
“Well, I guess you’ve got Angryclown pegged.
I almost forgot – I can’t be a racist. My third cousin just adopted a kid from India! ”
I bet that’s a lie too. If Angryclown has a wife, which I doubt very, very much, I wonder when he stopped beating her.
This poo-flinging can be kinda fun.
“dizzying rhetorical footwork” Indeed.
Here’s the part I don’t get
An Early angryclown comment
“Well we know Kermit’s a dude, though his sexual orientation remains unknown.”
Here, questioning somebody’s sexual orientation is funny, like a bottle of seltzer water and oversized shoes.
but in this thread we have AC saying this:
“Stop pretending you wingnuts are all outraged over Coulter’s latest ridiculous, bigoted slur.”
Now questioning somebody’s sexual orientation is not so funny, and must be rebuked over and over again by everybody.
Just discussing the latest slur by a bigoted right-wing shrew, Colleen. I can see where that would seem old hat to you.

Talk about screeching harpies, Alanis Morissette can just go away. And it didn’t rain on my wedding day. It was a wonderful sunny October Saturday several years ago.
Apparently, you are stupid, (maybe? probably), because you totally missed the irony. Of course, that’s typical of every liberal leftist moonbat who screams “you’re a racist/member of the Aryan Nation/homophobe for insulting someone so crudely”
Does that spell it out in simple enough terms for you, clown? How ironic it is to complain about someone being insulted while insulting someone else just as badly?
Of course not. You’re just as blindered as you claim conservatives/Republicans are. Typical liberal twaddle, “What you do is evil, what I do is expected and proper. Let’s just conveniently ignore the fact that the two actions are one in the same.”
From your latest comment: Just discussing the latest slur by a bigoted right-wing shrew, Colleen. I can see where that would seem old hat to you.
Let’s discuss the latest slurs posted in this comment thread (not to mention COUNTLESS others on this blog) by a bigoted left-wing comment thug who wears greasepaint, MMMMMkay?
Kermit AND Colleen are now the implied racists of the day.
Your bigotry is just as vile. Your obtuseness in refusing to acknowledge it makes it moreso. You’re becoming extremely tiring.
Go get a new hobby. I’m sure there are lots of homeless people in New Yawk City you can go and try to amuse while wearing your clown suit. Show some of the compassion you leftist twits are deluded into thinking you have the monopoly on.
Angryclown lives to make wingnuts lose their cool. Thanks Bill!
Colleen once referred to African-Americans, on this forum, as “porch monkeys,” Bill C. Implications fade in comparison.

Which would mean a whole lot more from someone who didn’t refer to everyone between the Hudson and the Sierra Madre, of every race, as a “cousin-f**ker”.
That’s not fair, Mitch. Some of you are *goat* f**ckers.
Good post BillC. I once agred with a “Greg” (an American Indian while we’re at it-just by way of establishing HIS ethnic bona-fides-I have none, since becaue I’m white I can have no opinion on anyone or anything) who said that a few of “the lads” that were committing disproportionate amounts of crime in the northern suburbs were “porch-monkeys”. My crime lives on and on and on and on…but I don’t care what that poster from NY thinks. I’m just tired of reading it. Guess I could quit…never thought of that….
That’s not fair, Mitch. Some of you are *goat* f**ckers.
So where did you scam the moral capital to criticize Coulter?
Borrowed? Found on the subway? Stolen from Mom’s purse?
When you express opinion about a specific group it’s “Bigoted”. When angryclown does the same it’s “humor”.
Check.

Then you’ll live for another day. You didn’t make me lose my cool. When I lose my cool, I use words that would get me kicked off SITD.
And if that’s what a lawyer from the cesspool of the east does for entertainment? That’s a sad commentary on a life wasted.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberal.
Frack. One stupid missed shift keystroke.
Nice! My italics continues thru comment breaks! Gotta love that
There, that should fix it.
