Oh good grief - now Mann Coulter is dissing teachers!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

CNN commentators keep telling us how young and hip the audience was for last week's YouTube Democratic debate, apparently unaware that the camera occasionally panned across the audience, which was the same oddball collection of teachers' union shills and welfare recipients you see at all Democratic gatherings.

Noticeably, Gov. Bill Richardson got the first "woo" of the debate -- the mating call of rotund liberal women -- for demanding a federal mandate that would guarantee public schoolteachers a minimum salary of $40,000.

So much for the "younger, hipper" audience. Maybe CNN meant "hippier," as in, "My, she's looking a bit hippy these days."

Not counting talking snowmen, the main difference in the YouTube debate audience and the audience for the earlier CNN Democratic debate is that the YouTube debate had 173,000 fewer viewers in the 18-49 demographic. So it was provably not young and, on the basis of casual observation, definitely not hip.

As usual, the audience consisted mostly of public schoolteachers. According to CNN, the highest reading achieved on the CNN feelings-knob was for Richardson talking about public schoolteachers. (Some in the audience said they hadn't been that excited since the last time they had sex with an underage student.)

1. I know a lot of teachers who are conservatives

Wonder how they took that crack? Next time I talk with them, I'll be sure to let them know what Ms Coulter thinks of them.

10. Good idea

Fortunately the vast majority of the teachers I work with are still very progressive. But there is one conservative and she does like Mann and I think I have her email address :evilgrin:

[Warren Stupidity]

2. She is an asshole.

A rightwing nutjob. Her gender has nothing to do with it.

[PCIntern]

3. Slimy anorexic sack of shit...

has some nerve...she probably thinks that Julia Roberts is morbidly obese.

anyone who had sex with her/him would have to be put in ICU for punture wounds and STD's simultaneously.

[Warpy]

5. ...and rabies.

I know a lot of very religious, conservative teachers. Oh, they're good people, take their jobs seriously, and don't proselytize the kiddies, but that's who they are.

None of them is going to take that anorexic old harpy's comments very well.

[Cass]

4. Now this dumbass is knocking people's weight to make a point?

She really has nothing of any substance to add to a discussion. She belongs in a junior high cafeteria not on the national stage commenting on important issues.

[ulysses]

6. same juvenile idiocy by which they all make their bread.

Never let it be said that a rw pundit lost an opportunity to appeal to the basest of emotions.

[zbdent]

7. Don't forget that she ignored Katherine Harris and the meeting of the

Young Republicans club ... all wealthy retirees, by the looks of them ... not a one likely had anything to do with a computer business unless it was owning stock in it ...

8. What a freak this woman is.

:puke:

[EFerrari]

9. What a terrible waste of space she is. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. I am sending this out to all my teacher groups

:evilgrin:

[EFerrari]

13. Go forth and conquer!

:toast:

12. mann coulter? just cos she is vile doesnt make her transgendered.

:eyes:

14. I can't read any more of Ann Coulter.

Some of my language arts students last year were investigating logical fallacies used in debate and in persuasive speech and writing. A group went out to collect examples from various media sources. After collecting examples, and organizing them, some of them wrote papers for me and some of them wrote letters to authors or speakers about the fallacies they'd noted.

Guess who got the most mention in essays, and the most letters, for ad hominem attacks?

Ann Coulter.

No wonder she's going after teachers. :evilgrin:

[eppur_se_muova]

15. In case no one's thanked you lately ... you're doing good for your students.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

[LWolf]

18. Kudos are few and far between, but always

very much appreciated. :hi:

[Democrats_win]

16. A new low? Blame the audience? Not surprised irresponsible GOP con jobs would do this.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. Someone should ask BillO if this is hate speech

Seeing as he's Mr. Anti-Hate Speech.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

19. Marie Anntionutcase strikes again

Daddy's lil union buster. With a shot at the poor and minorities, women who earned their degrees and vote legally, and vainly tries to imply she has any idea what hip is.

And Dissing Frosty? Someone tell Bill-o she hates Xmas!! :rofl:

Yup. Same old Ann.

[sutz12]

20. Typical...can't understand the situation...launch ad hominem attacks.

Coulter has hated teachers forever. So have most Repbulicans. It's hard to believe that so many had bad experiences in school, but there you go.

Bahing teachers is hardly a new low. It is par for the course.

[Berry Cool]

21. Good old Ann. Obviously, by living on nothing but chardonnay and cigarettes

she, unlike rotund, hippy liberal women, has managed to maintain her girlish figure.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. She is assuming the audience at the event reflects the viewing audience

And she's her usual, bigoted self. "Welfare recipients" is wingnut code for people of color.
