Marine complains that Coulter insulted him when she spoke at KU last week.

[tblue37]

This is a LTTE that was published in the Lawrence Journal-World today. You may recall that Ann Coulter spoke here last week:

http://ljworld.com/section/letters/story/201118

During the Q&A session after her talk, one man asked her how she defends her support for the war in Iraq, since so many Americans and Iraqis have died because of the invasion, even though, as everyone now knows, there were never any WMDs, Saddam wasn't in any way connected to 9/11, and the invasion was based on lies.

Coulter insulted him and said he was even stupider than she thought--her typical form of "debate" with someone who doesn't agree with her. Remember now, he wasn't one of the hecklers. He was just asking a legitimate question during the designated Q&A period after the talk.

Well, it turns out he is a Marine vet, and his wife a Navy vet. Both were insulted and vilified by Coulter's supporters in the audience, and he, of course, was directly insulted by the Queen Bitch herself.

Here is his LTTE:

Veteran support?
Wednesday, April 6, 2005

To the editor:

My wife and I, both veterans of the U.S. military, found out the truth about Republican support for veterans at Ann Coulter's lecture last Tuesday. After I, a former Marine infantry sergeant, asked Coulter how she defended her promotion of the war, based on lies, which has sent 1,500 of my brothers and sisters to their deaths and 100,000 Iraqis to their graves, she responded that, "you're even stupider than I thought." This received an abundance of applause from the party that claims to "support our troops."

At the same moment, several Republicans hurled obscenities at my wife, a Navy veteran, and one threatened her with physical violence, stating he would kick her in the head if she didn't "shut up," when she was asking Coulter a question. The Republican Party claims to "support the troops," but who qualifies as a "troop"? Is the "troop" label only legit when we agree with the Republican stance, even if that "troop" has served in uniform bravely and selflessly for four years?

This is the manner in which the Republican Party treats its veterans that disagree with them. They threaten them with violence and call them names like "stupid," "f-ing bitch," or "idiot," all of which were hurled at my wife and I at Coulter's talk, despite our service to this nation. Ask yourselves this question, Lawrence: Why do you think they need to attack free-thinking veterans?

Chris White,
Lawrence

1. DRAFT YOUNG REPUBLICANS

and ask every one of them when they are going to enlist, in the meantime. The recruiting offices should be open 24/7 to accomodate these La-Z-Boy Warriors.

[Ganja Ninja]

11. God I hate these f**king people.

I want to pack every last one of them off to the military. I want to see them right in the thick of the fighting with no armored vehicles, no body armor, crappy old Vietnam era M16's, bad gasoline for their Hummvee's and depending on Halliburton for supplies.

[acmejack]

37. Amen, Brother!

It's amazing how often someone says that about this group of, of, well words just fail me and I was a sailor. I relate to your rant, gotta hate an armchair coaching chickenhawk. Other priorities my rosy red ass!

[jmowreader]

68. Or even good gasoline would be fine with me

Putting gasoline into the diesel-powered HMMWV would cause their little Repug asses to have to walk back through the middle of fucking Fallujah.

The results would be even more fun than when Bruce Willis walked through Harlem wearing a sandwich board with a racist slogan painted on it in "Die Hard With A Vengeance."

[wabranty]

19. They tried to do that at the GOP Convention. . .

and the responses were amazing. Several of the chicken-hawks said they could serve our fighting forces better by staying in politics (much like the current crop of Republicans who cut benefits and combat pay for the fighting men now). Others claimed that they would like to serve but are not physically able (like Pat Buchanan who jogs every day but couldn't serve in Vietnam because of "knee problems"). One did promise to serve when he could make a difference but didn't explain what that meant.

Being a Republican means convincing others to make sacrifices on your behalf. In other words: "Ask not what you can do for your country; ask what you can get from your country."

29. Draft Coulter. eom

All I can say is Coulter HATES the men and women of our armed forces!!!:evilgrin:

[CrispyQ]

5. I beleive Coulter hates everyone & everything.

I've never seen such a hateful being.

[Bryn]

18. I agree! Something about her

makes my skin crawl.

:kick:

[Inland]

3. Hey, he IS stupid.

"Is the "troop" label only legit when we agree with the Republican stance, even if that "troop" has served in uniform bravely and selflessly for four years?"

Well, yeah. If it wasn't obvious to him before, it should be now.

As for the actual question, as to how Coulter supports the war, he got his answer to that, too. She supports people who agree with her and her kind, and vice versa. Her kind supported the war, and that they got caught lying to us is simply irrelevant.

[CottonBear]

4. Well, she's really done it now.

Drip, drip, drip...now the "troops" are turning on her and her freeper fans.

I wonder how much security she has?

[Dulcinea]

62. That skank is gonna open her yap once too often.

Maybe this will be that time.

[saltpoint]

6. Ann Coulter is graceless and seditious.

If only a large swamp creature would carry her off into the jungle somewhere never to be heard from again.

[kliljedahl]

13. Pity the poor swamp creature

What do you hate swamp creatures?



http://www.kliljedahl.net

[saltpoint]

15. LOL!! You're right -- I'm a knee-jerk swamp-creature hater from way back.

They deserve better.

[Enraged_Ape]

14. Even swamp creatures have standards (n/t)

[saltpoint]

17. True enough, and I promise to write a formal letter --

-- of apology to the Swamp Creature Journal to address my ethical slur of their kind.

(LOL at yours and kliljedahl's posts... thanks for the lift!)

[FreedomAngel82]

9. Simply amazing

Wow. I'm always amazed at how they react towards people who are different then them. I'm convienced they are a cult. Scary indeed. This should go around like crazy to show people the truth about how Coulter and her ilk are. I hope people at AAR talk about this. Disgusting indeed!

[DearAbby]

24. They have the "Football Team" Mentality...somehow think it's a game

you are always loyal to the team colors and what not. Armchair Generals fits here. Really, should say to them, why haven't they enlisted yet, and would they like a lift to the nearest recruiter. We sure can use all those armchair generals on the battlefield. :evilgrin:

[Virginian]

63. Sports fans

I think they are more Football Fans than a team. The team actually gets out there and fights for what they believe in. The fans are the people in the comfy armchairs dheering them on from the warmth and safty of their homes.

[Stand and Fight]

10. Sickening...

I've had the same vitrol hurled at me by a Republican here at work. He said I was too much of a Democrat and not much of an American, and that I wan't patriotic. I lost my cool and said to him, "Don't you dare -- who the hell are you to question my patriotism?"

He sqawked, "Don't point you finger at me, buddy."

I retorted, "I served this dammed country for five years of my life and put off two full-ride scholarships, so don't you dare tell me I'm not patriotic, creep."

He stammered and said, "Well, I didn't mean that... You just don't see things because you're so partisan..."

I didn't want to hear anymore, so I cut him off and snapped, "I don't care to hear anything else you have to say. You're just another example of the ignorance that affects America. You're screwing this country and your children's futures right along with Bush." and then exited the room.

The nerve of these people!

[mimitabby]

16. fantastic! i wish i had been there to hear you say that!

i can never think of something so perfect to say!

[Stand and Fight]

20. These sorts of things are nearly always...

These sorts of things are nearly always on my mind since I am surrounded by Republicans at work, and I have to listen to their trite idiotic conversations all day. So, it was more of the affect of having thought of such things before more than anything else... LOL

[Just Me]

36. Yeah, but,....you took risk when taking that stand,...and did so,...

,...impactfully.

Good for you.

Geez, must be a hellacious work environment.

[Stand and Fight]

45. It's pretty bad though...

My boss and 2 of my other co-workers are hard-core Republican fools. The newest person to our group is a weak Democrat -- young and unaware, but a Democrat nonetheless. I cannot even stand to talk to them most of the time. My boss looks like Hastert -- I kid you not. The other one is an Evangelical idiot. The smartest of them -- an athiest -- will not heed the facts that Bush lied about going to Iraq... *sigh* Great disappointment. Either way, I have been withdrawing from them, but occasionally they say some absolutely stupid shit and I cannot help but speak out. And yes, it is a most "hellacious" working environment. (I'm politically active in the community to make it worst. I attended a peace protest last month. Have been elected a delegate to the State and District conventions for the Democratic party. I'm also the chair of several committees -- to include Public Relations and Marketing -- in my County... I still have my Kerry-Edwards sticker on my car. A calender of Bushisms hangs in my cubicle next to another Kerry-Edwards sticker and various quotes. As you can well imagine I make them very nervous -- especially since they know I've high political ambitions.

[kliljedahl]

42. Me too

But they're slowly changing. Before the election Democrat & Communist were interchangeable. Now they're starting to really diss * , Delay & actually laughed for real at my comment that Asscraft lost his last election to a dead man. Maybe there's hope.


http://www.kliljedahl.net

[Stand and Fight]

46. I do wish I could say the same...

However, I'm in Oklahoma, and the Republicans are relentless in their subservient stupidity and willful ignorance in regards to the one called Bush, Part Deux... :eyes: It is shocking that they will realize the inconsistencies of their party and their president, acknowledge that he's made some mistakes without realizing that they are only spouting off right-wing talking points. They still cannot tell me where and who the liberal media is, exactly how it is that Kerry volunteering for dangerous duty -- twice -- makes him unpatriotic and Bush more so because he used connections to duck out of active duty... It is a mad, mad world we live in, but I love America, and I will fight to my dying breath to restore our country to its rightful place and help in ushering us out of the dark wilderness of ignorance and spitefulness.

[kliljedahl]

60. Don't give up hope

I'm in Indiana, a place that's almost as provincial & stubborn as OK, I know, I've been through there. Usually on my way somewhere else.

The Repukes are hanging themselves & just aren't aware they are. I feel a change coming, I just have hope it's a good change.


http://www.kliljedahl.net

[hippywife]

61. Reading your posts

I just knew you had to be in Oklahoma. I am, too and I will also be going to district and state as a delegate. Which district are you in? I'm in 2.

[ronnykmarshall]

25. You are da man!

47. I'll fight them till the bitter end...

If it comes to that. Pray it does not.

[cybildisobedience]

65. Bravo --

would have loved to have seen it as well.

[illflem]

12. This veteran says fuck you republicans

and you are welcome for my time spent fighting for your right to be cowards.

[batesboys]

21. That would make

a great bumper sticker. Says it all.

[ronnykmarshall]

22. Amazing.

I hope next time that lying worthless sack of shit is on TV someone slams her with this.

[frictionlessO]

23. Oh to have this little story picked upby the MSM.

If she ever comes within 20 miles of me, she will get such an earful I'll probably get my "stupider" ass thrown in jail.

These people test my pacifism on a daily basis.

[HughBeaumont]

26. Oh what I wouldn't GIVE to have her come to Cleveland

She wouldn't last ten minutes. She thinks she got a hard time lecturing in a blue part of the red-heartland? Come to a TOTAL blue county, coward. Come to CSU and speak. PLEASE. The audience would be 7/8 loaded with Kerry and ABB supporters. She would be booed off the stage and a riot would break out with that bullshit she spews.

How is that trans-ient qualified to speak on ANYthing, much less call someone who served and fought for this country "stupid"? And how DARE some bastard yellow armchair-PFC threaten his wife? That's an instant assbeating with a chair . . . hearing stuff like that makes my blood boil. Confronting these people's stupidity, as I had to do at the Coronation, is maddening.

[solinvictus]

27. The Red Guards at work...

Much like the Maoists, the Bushistas are using their young Kool Aid drinkers to shout down or physically intimidate the opposition. It's going to come to blows soon, I believe.

[spooky3]

28. This is better than any pie throwing!

[VOX]

51. True! This won't wash off!

Although I'd love to see that death's head, venom-spewing witch get plastered with a mountain of meringue.

Just dreaming. :thumbsup:

[DemBeans]

30. this is so typical

Rather than answer his very valid question, Coulter resorts to name calling. Why? Because there IS no answer to his question that doesn't place the Bush administration in jeopardy.

They love their party more than they love their country. Who's unpatriotic now?

[Fleshdancer]

32. Someone needs to ask Coulter at her next speaking engagement why

she insults American veterans. Life would be good if this followed her around where ever she went.

[Mr_Spock]

33. Another reason to hate Coulter and the Republican party

I hate these people passionaltely.

[deadparrot]

34. Poor guy.

He'd better watch his ass. He put his name out there, and shudder to think what the powers that be might do. He's a brave, brave man, for his service and for expressing his views in a high-opposition atmosphere.

Good luck, Mr. White. You done good.

[Just Me]

35. Coulter deserves to have her career destroyed!!!!

She is a vicious, venomous, fascist,...plain & simple.

How DARE she treat veterans who have free hearts and minds in such a disgraceful manner!!!

She's the one that's S-T-U-P-I-D!!! :grr:

[MrScorpio]

38. My wife and I are military veterans too

To say I'm insulted would be an understaement

[Montauk6]

40. Well I'm always glad to see folks see the light...

but c'mon! Could you possibly expect anything more from these hatriotic heathens who would mock the Purple Heart???

If the Dems were more ruthless, they should have BOMBARDED the TV with ads focusing on these fake Purple Hearts during the campaign.

Don't get me started...

[lonestarnot]

43. Saw a GI on tube for a brief moment re the medal of honor bestowed on a

fellow GI leaving behind wife and two kids...after the presentation two GI's interviewed one said Metal of honor does not bring back the man... and the other said "They can keep their metal we want SGT ___??? back! Couldn't believe it was aired.

[shadowknows69]

41. you should have let your wife

break that skinny nazi bitch in half

[paineinthearse]

44. To parapharse an old New England saying

Dawn breaks in the heartland.

People are starting to awaken.

I hope the sergent posts his letter to Stars and Stripes and the veterans organizations.

[Best_man23]

48. Young Repubs

The Army and Marine Corps recruiters need you. They are behind quota and need you to serve in our armed forces.

Remember young repubs, if you enlist in the Army, be sure to ask for MOS 11B. If you're going into the Marines, ask for MOS 0311. Either of these MOSs will ensure that you get right to where the action is at.

[donheld]

49. Ann Coulter is the lowest life form

there possibly is.

[stevans_41902]

52. i was hoping someone

I go to school at KU, but didn't go to the Coulter speech (can't stand the ignorant bitch.) As I understood it from an article in the University Daily Kansan, there was a small group of peaceful protesters standing outside the building with a sign that had Coulter's famous "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity" quote. There were also a few people yelling at her when she was speaking, one of which was removed from the building. Of course all of the college Republicans were screaming "liberal bias" after the story was printed (I guess b/c the story was not sympathetic enough to the "innocent" Coulter.) This is an editorial that was in the Kansan today:

http://www.kansan.com/stories/2005/apr/06/opinion_perspectives_fray/


I just love it how they always make it look like Democrats are the evil, haters of America, while Coulter's hate spewing is viewed as an "open exchange of ideas." How can calling people stupid when they ask a question even remotely be considered an open exchange of ideas? Oh yeah, here is the original story that all of the Republicans were whining about b/c of its "liberal bias". Can someone please tell me where the bias is?

53. Welcome to DU, stevans 41902

:hi:

[FreedomAngel82]

55. To me

when they use "liberal bias" it's just a way for them to hide and get off easy and claim they didn't really do anything and play victim and look innocent like they didn't really do this to this young man who is a veteran and make Coulter look bad. If you think about it it really is quite a smart plan on them. If it wasn't for this myth they wouldn't be here in power and haven't lasted this long.

I'm surprised ANY military personnel whatsoever support the Shrub regime anymore. They have been horribly abused by this administration, and the talking heads who spew its fascist ideology.

Truly sickening.

For some reason, I highly doubt it.

Leave her to her unhappiness and maybe, just maybe she'll go away.
These are sick fucking people who believe their view of the world is the only view and if you don't agree with them you are the enemy. No one said it better than bush*, 'you're either with us or against us'. Well I'm firmly against these assholes. Fuck you AC.
