Like Stupid To Kryptonite
By Mitch Berg
Lil’ Ollie Willis, who wouldn’t know a deep, unreported truth if it came to the surface and announced itself directly to his face, thinks he’s clairvoyant:
The big, deep unreported truth about Ann Coulters comments at CPAC is this: conservatives agree with her. They do believe that “faggot” is an acceptable term, both for gays and political opponents.
Hm. Do we?
[John McCain] denounced her remarks on Saturday morning. “The comments were wildly inappropriate,” said his spokesman, Brian Jones.
Mr. Giuliani said, “The comments were completely inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate.”
Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. Romney, said: “It was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.”
What, you mean conservative bloggers?
Like this one?
[McCain]can point to the Coulter remark as an excuse for bypassing CPAC by calling it an extremist venue that he was correct to avoid. It’s not true — most of the CPAC attendees abhorred Coulter’s remark when informed of it
Or here?
Question #2, if too obscure, is “Don’t you think Ann Coulter is typical of all conservatives?” Since every single conservative blogger I have seen this morning has roundly condemned her as well as most going so far as to believe she should never be invited to a respectable political gathering again, any broad brush painting done by liberals can easily be dismissed for what it is; rank stupidity.
Or her?
With a single word, Coulter sullied the hard work of hundreds of CPAC participants and exhibitors and tarred the collective reputation of thousands of CPAC attendees. At a reception for college students held by the Young America’s Foundation, I lambasted the substitution of stupid slurs for persuasion– be it “faggot” from a conservative or “gook” from a liberal–and urged the young people there to conduct themselves at all times with dignity in their ideological battles on and off campus.
Don’t see much approval there.
Where is the approval, Ollie? I know – you’re used to writing to the left-wing fever swamp, where all you need is to declare something for it to be so.
So where were you, Ollie, on Amanda Marcotte’s corrosive, anti-Christian bigotry?
Oh, yeah – you didn’t give a jiggly giggle about it.
Working for George Soros means never having to think real hard.
