"Liberal Infallibility"
Republican Party Spokesperson ann coulter uses this term when chatting about 9-11 widows or Cindy Sheehan or Michael Moore stating that if they are talking about a subject they can't be refuted. To that point ann is correct because she hasn't been refuting them over and over and over again. However she should rethink "liberal Infallibility" as a talking point to be used by the lemmings. That's nine syllables ann. You should be a little easier on your fellow fake patriots, waving the flags made in china with those big veins about to burst from their necks as they rant and rave and trying to squeeze those nine syllables into their vocabulary. That's downright cruel ann. Just stick with the classic, fuckya'll or go to hell commie pig. I have thoroughly enjoyed how ann and her fellow "conservatives" have changed the tone in America over the past six years.

2. It definitely works
when someone is compared to a "conservative." I'd just love to see one of those yahoos in full rant try to say it.

3. I caught that one, too.
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 12:53 PM by smoogatz
It's a particularly pathetic attempt to justify the wingnut bloviating class's ad hominem attacks on the left--defined as anyone who disagrees with any part of the hard right's rhetoric, agenda or the execution thereof. Since the facts have a liberal bias, to paraphrase the great Colbert, then it's perfectly fine to simply attack anyone who disagrees with you. It amazes me that any sane person/organization still gives Coulter the air time she/he so desperately craves. He/she's got nothing, and she/he's admitting it openly on national TV.

4. Ohhh, I really like that!
"Republican Party Spokesperson Ann Coulter" That is a keeper!

The simple fact is the only reason Coulter is trying to demonize the Jersery Girls is because they supported John Kerry. That's all there is to it. If these same women has come out with the same messages, but said either 1) They support President Bush OR 2) remained in a state of non-endorsement then Coulter would be holding them in the highest esteem.

As it is, because they supported *gasp* a Democrat, they walked into Coulter's bullseye.

5. There was a woman
who lost a mother in the towers on 9-11. She made a commercial for george bush. I guess since she supported the president she was not delving into politics nor was she thoroughly enjoying her loved one's death.

7. Funny thing. Coulter seems to have overlooked that woman.
Amazing. Just shamefully, amazingly sad.

6. Conservatives use the same tactic to support the death penalty
They bring the grieving victim's family forward and how can anyone criticize their desire to see the killer executed? How dare you liberals suggest he has more of a right to live than the man he killed?

Ann might have a legitimate point about both sides using that tactic if she hadn't turned it into a nasty attack on the 911 widows.
