Black, white, rich or poor, we can all agree: Ann Coulter's a biatch.

I know it's impossible but nothing would drive Coulter off the edge more than them ignoring her.

Ann Coulter on Islam:

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

Perhaps we could put aside our national, ongoing, post-9/11 Muslim butt-kissing contest and get on with the business at hand: Bombing Syria back to the stone age and then permanently disarming Iran.
Muslim Bites Dog; February 15, 2006

Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

spelunking_defenestrator: she looks like alice cooper after a good bleaching in that picture

I dunno. Alice Cooper looks like hammered shiat lately. At least most of Ann's Mr. Potato Head plastic parts are still sticking to her face.

Actually, if you subtract the eyes, lips, and nose, her head does look like a giant potato.

It's all about a community coming together.

But then, that's what they said in Salem in the 17th century...

People still listen to/read her? Oh yea, neoliberals.

Etchy333: Black, white, rich or poor, we can all agree: Ann Coulter's a biatch.

I am conservative and I think she is clearly off-the-reservation crazy. Her controversial remarks are aimed squarely at generating more controversy which then drives her book sales. I don't know whether or not she believe the tripe, but it makes her money, and apparently a lot of it. She is like the white Jesse Jackson.

FTA
Seblonka said people have already told her there should be a tolerance week every year.

Cause a week is about all the tolerance they can handle.

Here is a thought, how about tolerance all the time? Why not actually listen to what someone else says instead of yelling louder? Why not try to start or end a statement in something other than "idiot" or "you moron"? Good lord, I know it is the internet and the anonymous vitriol is all the rage (pun intended), but really.

/Oh, Sorry. I forgot this is fark
//Carry on you morans

Tolerance, ie We'll talk about what we want and shut anyone up who talks about something else *especially* conservative thoughts.

Diversity ie White men suck, America sucks, Christians suck.

Anything else is cool, just feel guilty and call for ambiguous justice and change if you're white.

The "tolerance" thing is a bit of an illusion sometimes. Liberals are tolerant when it suits them. Often on college campuses, conservative speakers are shouted down, their speeches disrupted, or otherwise canceled altogether.

Just ignore her and she'll vanish in a cloud of irrelevance.

The problem is, you think "tolerance" means we should tolerate intolerance. It doesn't.

No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. ... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. ...That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe -- this is just a statement of what the New Testament is -- is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament.

God's Hubris: The problem is, you think "tolerance" means we should tolerate intolerance. It doesn't.

Actually, it means you should tolerate someone else regardless of their views. It is their actions of which you should be intolerant. Why does she (or any other conservative tool) have fewer rights to voice her opinion without being shouted down? If the Rev Wright has the right to his views, and he does, then why doesn't she?

I don't buy her books, I would not go see her speak, and I turn the channel whenever she comes on, but she has the right to her opinion and the right to voice that opinion - regardless of the stupidity of her position or words.

She should be given the same rights and respect that you would like Barack Obama to receive at Bob Jones University. (Notice I said would like to receive, not would receive.)

Tolerance is tolerance of opposing ideas, not just those with which you agree.

superbeerchan: You forgot about a few her other thoughts:

Like I said, she is way, way out there crazy, but she is entitled to her opinions. I just wish they were not given so much publicity.

"Most of the people who are working on tolerance week, it's not that they're opposed to Ann Coulter being a conservative, it's the way she says things," Seblonka said. "Her language is disrespectful and she uses the bullying tactic of name-calling. There are a lot of good conservative people out there who don't speak the way she does."

Wow, this person sure sounds like a radical liberal nutcase, alright! Good call on that one, guys. It's all just about hating "conservatives".

I said nothing of opposing ideas. I spoke of tolerating intolerance.
Are you suggesting intolerance is something that should be tolerated for the sake of "everybody has a right to be intolerant?"
What's next? Should we tolerate phedophilia? Cannibalism?

why cant ann be more like randi rhodes?

Is that what one would refer to as a straw man argument? As I said, her words are not actions. I specifically said, and I quote from my original post for those who did not read the whole thing "It is their actions of which you should be intolerant." I draw, as do most, a distinction between speech and action.

Under your scenario who gets to decide what is tolerable and what is not when it is just talk? You, me, extremists on one side or another?

Ask this question. Does it physically or emotionally harm yourself or another person. If the answer is yes, it is intolerable.

God's Hubris: Ask this question. Does it physically or emotionally harm yourself or another person. If the answer is yes, it is intolerable.

I don't see how her stupid rhetoric can cause physical harm, but if it did or incited such, then it would fall under existing laws. As far as emotional harm - neither you nor I have the right to not be offended. If I am offended, then I should remove myself from the situation, not the situation from me. In instances were that is not possible, such as the loons from the whatever-baptist church protesting funerals. The targets of the vitriol are not able to leave, for obvious reasons.

What Ann does, after all, is just talk. As ridiculous as it is, that is all it is.

Unavailable for comment:



Tolerance means *you* agree with *me*.

I heart Ann Coulter.

Good pull. I was gonna grab that from TFA so that those who couldn't bother reading it would know what the conversation was about.

And for the record; we DO tolerate Anne Coulter.

"Tolerate" doesn't mean "accept".

"Tolerate" doesn't mean "like".

"Tolerate" means "allow".

And *we* tolerate you, too.

Listening to ann coulter is like having someone vomit in your face. Ya I'd like to ignore it, but the smell is just so damn bad. Some things should not be tolerated. Ann is at the top of the list and should be no matter which side of the political fence you sit on.

I'll tolerate people's differences and people having differences. That doesn't mean I'll show those differences any respect if I don't agree with them.

No, Ann Coulter visit provides college students with excuse to have week-long party.

Funny, when most militant gays talk about "Tolerance" it means that we are to allow them to do what they will. Sorry but as a very tolerant person, I find the "tolerance" club to be used on a regular basis. I mean I am against race being used as a factor in hiring means I am intolerant of diversity. All of these catch phrases " tolerance" "diversity" or "multi culturalsm" is just an excuse to beat down people. This whole don't hurt anyone's feelings, unless they are a conservative, is BS. Man up nancyboy. You are either an adult or you are not. Either you allow others to control your reactions or you can deal with life. Some people (i. e. Ann Coulter, Al Sharpton) make a living making outlandish offensive statements. don't like what they say don't support them with your dollars. The stop making money on it they will shut up.

I am talking about the whole, we are gay treat us special thats tolerance. I have been there when a coworker, with extremely lousy performance, played the gay card when fired. Another gay co worker was offended at it. I am saying that being tolerant doesn't mean you have to make allowances for poor behavior. But that is the way it is played by a vocal minority. In other words it was an example.
I could have used the example of a man walking into works with his boxers showing and pants around his crotch. Is it intolerant to tell them they are to go home and change warning them anopther instance means your fired.
Coulter is a coont. She is also an accomplished attourney. She says things I find extremely offensive. I also find this don't offend me crap stupid. I was showing how it can work.

gruntmints: That doesn't mean I'll show those differences any respect if I don't agree with them.

Actually that is exactly what tolerance means. If you act as you say, your are simply a troll in real life as well as here.

Came for pictures of her adams apple.

Remove all Republicans: There is nothing wrong with bigotry against bigots.

See this is why you are a troll. Incessantly stupid comments. Does that mean that it is kill killer? I mean you are liberal enough I am sure you are anti death penalty. Same logic but I am sure you don't think so.

Kind of like "politically correct", huh?
You know, the phrase people like you prefer to use to refute someone who calls you out on being a bigot?

This whole don't hurt anyone's feelings, unless they are a conservative, is BS.

No, it's common courtesy.
Yes, sometimes you can't help but hurt someone's feelings, that makes you human.
But going out of your way to intentionally hurt someone's feelings? That makes you an asshole.

So, reacting to somebody who intentionally says something cruel makes one "weak"?

Then what do you call it when you act in a rude, crude and anti-social manner and then dare to be offended when someone calls you out on it?

That's not just weak... That's absolutely phuquing pathetic!

Here's an idea; If you can't deal with the consequences, don't be an asshole!

The point isa some people are offended at anything. How many people are afraid to critisize Barack Obama? If you disagree with someone, even in a respectful manner, you can be accused of being intolerance. It will mean your are to be sent to sensetivity training.
