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<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hm. Do we<\/a>?<\/p>\n

[John McCain] denounced her remarks on Saturday morning. \u201cThe comments were wildly inappropriate,\u201d said his spokesman, Brian Jones.<\/p>\n

Mr. Giuliani said, \u201cThe comments were completely inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. Romney, said: \u201cIt was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What, you mean conservative bloggers?<\/p>\n

Like this one<\/a>?<\/p>\n

[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<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or here<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Question #2, if too obscure, is \u201cDon\u2019t you think Ann Coulter is typical of all conservatives?\u201d 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or her<\/a>?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Don’t see much approval there.<\/p>\n

Where is the approval, Ollie? <\/em>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.<\/p>\n

So where were you, Ollie, on Amanda Marcotte’s corrosive, anti-Christian bigotry?<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah – you didn’t give a jiggly giggle about it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Working for George Soros means never having to think real hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
