Defending Ann Coulter By Mark Noonan on media bias This should get liberals foaming at the mouth: <<< Look, I don’t always agree with Coulter. She sometimes seems to scream black whenever the media screams white (a strategy that works only about 85 percent of the time). I’m pretty sure we really did evolve from apes—myself within living memory. And I enthusiastically endorse any and all non-bloodletting sex acts done in private between consenting adults—as long as you don’t then ask me to pay for the resulting child, abortion or course of medication. But the whole way liberals work is to redefine manners and morals in such a fashion that conservative common sense automatically becomes hateful. If you note that women and men are different, you’re misogynistic. If you denounce the destruction of marriage in black communities, you’re racist or moralistic. If you call for the defense of America against the world-wide Islamist menace, you’re a bigoted warmonger. If we take this garbage seriously even for an instant, we spend our whole lives playing catch-up, saying sorry, going on defense. Coulter’s answering strategy is to blow all that foolishness away. She says the unsayable thing, does it with intelligence, humor and style and gets the world exactly right far more often than not. >>> I have to admit, Ms. Coulter has got me laughing quite a few times, too. Anyone can be a rhetorical bomb thrower, but to do it with style takes talent, and Coulter has an abundance of that. Its all about how to stick the knife in where it does the most damage, and doing it with a smile: <<< (Sing to “Jingle Bells”) Kwanzaa bells, dashikis sell Whitey has to pay; Burning, shooting, oh what fun On this made-up holiday! Kwanzaa itself is a nutty blend of schmaltzy ’60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven “principles” of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life — economics, work, personality, even litter removal. (”Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.”) >>> This sort of thing just makes liberals go ballistic - they shout that Coulter is a racist, that she’s mean, that she’s hateful…yadda, yadda, yadda. It gets tiresome, these liberal accusations. Coulter is what Coulter is. Love her, hate her; whatever floats your boat. But don’t try to demonize her or dismiss her via a bit of junior-league Leninism where people become “unpersons” for having strayed from the party line. blogsforvictory.com
