Right Wing News ran a
''Right-Of-Center Bloggers Select Their Least Favorite People
On The Right'' deal, and enough respondents think Arlo Sphinter
and Lincoln Chafee are ''right of center'' that they bracket Ann
Coulter as losers in that poll. I take it that these
bloggers don't care for Ann's bedside manner (?) since I've never seen a
successful challenge of her on substance. I also get the feeling that they, and others, would prefer a make nice approach when dealing with disingenuousness. You'd think that by now
conservatives would wise up to the left's practice of heaping scorn, and
casting aspersion upon anybody with the audacity
to question their motives, and nobody does that better than Coulter
does today.
Example
I was looking for something on embryonic stem cells when I ran across
this thread about Ann Coulter's appearance on a show called BBC
Newsnight. Before you watch the video, here are some of the
comments: on a thread titled "Ann Coulter Squirms on Newsnight''

This woman is barking- totally barking... And the horrible things she says. What a truly despicable waste of space. - Submitted by karl |

I watched Ann Coulter on Newsnight too. I think Paxman's
expression was identical to mine when I heard the ridiculous crap she
spouting. It was very funny. The only depressing thing is that so many
people take her seriously across the pond. -Submitted by Davide Simonetti |
David - that thread on Guido's is astonishing! I didn't
think there was anyone outside the US who doesn't see Coulter as a
Swivel Eyed Loon... What was Paxo supposed to do, take her seriously!
It was the fact he didn't even bother to engage that made me laugh.
Stick a pair of tits on Ted Nugent and they would probably lap him up too... -

Okay .. watch the actual interview
Did you see a ''squirming?'' And this Paxman fellow is just a stamped out version of
our
own smug, condescending, and utterly vacuous media canker blossoms. Note the absence of ANY substantive challenge to what Coulter
wrote. Take
embryonic stem cells, which debate has drawn slavish support from the
ignoramic left. Here's a clip from the book where Ann makes bold,
unequivocal statements about it.
''By
contrast, the embryonic stem cell researchers have produced
nothing. They have not even begun one human clinical trial.
They've successfully treated a few rodents, but they keep running into
two problems:First, the cells tend to be rejected by the immune
system. Second, they tend to cause malignancies called terratomas
- meaning monster tumors.
" The idea that embryonic stem cells are on the verge of curing
anything is absurd ... . The only advantage embryonic stem cells once
had over adult stem cells was their ability to transform into any type
of cell. But fast advancing research on adult stem cells has
stripped away even that. As of 2002 , adult stem cells were being
converted into all three types of cells the body the body produces
during the embryonic development. And adult stem cells were
already curing people!" - The Church of Liberalism, p 193 |
If Ann is right, then why did President Bush have to veto
congressional embryonic legislation? It was criminally
irresponsible of that body to even pass the boondoggle. So why
did they? Answer: they, we, are enslaved by false ideas
pushed on us by a leftist controlled public opinion machine. Even
so-called conservatives are weary of going against the grain when it
comes to challenging long standing lies that have gained public acceptance.
If Ann's facts are wrong, where are the challenges? Why didn't
this BBC twit challenge her on stem cells, or any of the other hundred
factual assertions found in the book? There are none (tut-tutting her lengthy, well documented challenge to Darwinism does not a challenge make).
ZERO. From anybody. We got false charges of
plagiarism, and a 150 decibel screech over her two sentence mention
of the contemptible ''Jersey Girls.'' That's it, yet when
I've brought this up in conversation I get, ''well I guess I'm just tired of hearing about her.'' I guess the Right-Of-Center Bloggers in
Hawkins's poll felt the same way. And they'll get tired of defending Iraq after a fashion too, I suppose. Poop.
