Like most of the right, she was once again calling liberals treasonous "I don't think that is an accurate statement. If you leave out "like most of the right" it would be more accurate." Well, you have just answered your question from above. If you really believe liberals are treasonous then please don't bother to post to me. Ted, when you are upset with what you think I say, please use that as motivation to reread carefully what I actually did say. In this case you quoted me so I would have thought you would have read the words but maybe you did not. Before posting, I read over what you said three times and still missed your point. Sorry but I've gotten it now. I felt there was a misunderstanding on one of our parts but I couldn't figure out what it was......that's why I responded the way I did. My statement can be summed up and simplified as "it is not true that most of the right calls liberals, traitors". But you took it as me saying that liberals are traitors. Your interpretation is not at all related to the actual statements I posted. Yes, I've go it now.......sorry my misreading your paragraph necessitated this huge response from you. <g> It surprises you that an attack consisting of calling honorable Americans traitorous or treasonous or a detriment to their country is met with a vigorous reaction? If a group or college or other forum doesn't want the speaker to speak then he or she should not be invited. If a member of the group that did invite the speaker objects to the speaker or to what is spoken then he or she should not attend, or perhaps could, when the objectionable words are spoken, make a public show of turning his or her back on the speaker and/or leaving the forum. The angry listener may even, depending on the exact nature of the forum, loudly object or boo. Yes, your response is very reasonable but first understand, Colter's venomous attacks bring out her enemies when she speaks. So that even if a particular group invites her to speak and is very pro Coulter, her enemies are still bound to show up. Secondly, her attacks are so over the top and so mean spirited, she arouses incredible anger in her opposition. Like you suggest, light booing or turning your back or even light stamping of your feet would be a better way to show your dispeasure but in truth, she raises so much anger I'm sure people quickly become irrational. I can only say that there must be something in her psyche that enjoys the notoriety she engenders because frankly, she works very hard to get people upset. ted
