She presented herself well, but the friendly audience was a big help. She is typically thrust in front of hostile audiences.

My only criticism might be her somewhat haughty voice.

I am reading the book now, and if you havent, you may want to. The hype about that passage is just that, hype. In context it is much different, and there is far worse in the book that they are ignoring.

She is right when she notes that she is surprised that they zoomed in on just that one section. She is not nice to them in much harsher ways.

That they are so outraged about the Jersey girls comments proves 3 things to me:

1) They have not read the book
2) They have and are scared of it, so they are focusing on this to deflect from the book’s content.
3) By using the Jersey girls as their totem for outrage, they nicely validate the point they are trying to protest.

On the political level, when conservatives finally gained power in the Senate and House, the liberals found a way to get them removed. People like Tower, Packwood, Gingrich, Livingston, DeLay, and Lott had to step down or take a “demotion” because of the vicious attacks on them.

In essence, conservatives could not mount effective counter attacks against liberals, because the MSM controlled the airwaves, as Ann alluded to.

In time, Limbaugh emerged, and from his example, others arrived. Thankfully, Limbaugh emerged as the internet was coming into being, and then cable TV started catching on. Suddenly, there was more than Rush. We had Hannity, Hume, Snow, and Gibson. Additionally, there arose intelligent and pretty women like Michelle, Ann, and Laura (and Barbara Olson (RIP). Now, the liberals couldn’t make fun of appearances because conservatives would just laugh back at them, and point out goobers like Pelosi, Cynthia Mckinney, Fat Teddy, and all those wretched feminists. You want to play the insult game, fine, we’re locked and loaded! And now, the MSM couldn’t suppress good investigations and it was constantly reminded by bloggers that what a liberal jackass says today, didn’t match what he/she said years ago.

We are so lucky, we are so fortunate that so many things came together at the right time so that our “leaders” could get their messages out, and that we had a means to support them.

So thanks to Michelle, Ann, Laura, Rush, Hannity, Snow, and so many others for standing firm and taking the fire, and hurling it back at the vicious liberal moonbats.

besides, as long as she appears “looking good”, she won’t be lumped in as some stodgy conservative. she’ll be the bitch in the black dress. Trademark. Know your audience, know your enemy, blah, blah, froth, and such.

BRAVO! And God bless you! YOU did a good thing, lads. I hereby pledge to buy each and every one of you a beer or three. Let me know if you’re ever in Nashville or L.A. Seriously.

11. The Zarqawi raid netted such valuable information that so far 400+ raids followed and more are on-going, 100+ terrorists and insurgents killed, al-Qaida blueprints found – a treasure-chest of great info for U.S./Iraq.
12. Iraqis are following the liberals’ mantra and are stepping up the fight (trained by the U.S.) – no issue for Nov.
13. The “Moving America Forward” gathering is a disjointed pool of disunity and lack of leading philosophy. The dems are for raising the minimum wage, reducing the cost of student loans, making prescription drugs less expensive. So what? Comparably, these are ants. Not a platform to win Nov.
14. The House and the Senate are forcing the democrats to be for or against the troops, without separating the issue from the war on terror. The ‘rabbit has the gun’ and the conservatives are still setting the agenda.
15. Spending, slowly but significantly, is being cut.
16. The deficit has declined tremendously due to tax cuts, which stimulated growth and brought in treasure.
17. The facts still trump the MSM’s fiction, defeatist and wishful-thinking-reporting.
18. Mr. Bush’s new cabinet members have inserted new energy and it shows.
19. Karl Rove hasn’t begun the real offensive for Nov. yet.
20. The marches for illegals’ rights have back-fired and amnesty has been put on the back-burner, where it will stay until after the election. The dems will not even think about going there…
21. The presidential podium is still the tallest one and Mr. Bush is showing mojo again.
22. The NSA issue is no longer argued as a breach of anything but as ‘how can we strengthen/clarify it’.
23. “We are more ethical than you” is out. Yes, it goes along with your #3 point.
24. All reps/sens have been reminded/put in place on Mr. Hastert and Ms. Pelosi’s reaction to the Jefferson office raid – a great development to bring them all back to Earth and force them to not be treated differently from the citizens they are supposed to represent.
25. Best of all – the ROW (rest of the World) has realized that they can’t solve anything without the U.S. leading – i.e. total flop of the 3-years European handling of the Iran issue. The dems and ROW can’t have it both ways – ask the U.S. to be multi-everything and blame it when the others can’t get anything done.

Here’s hoping the imperfect conservatives keep their mojo and keep getting in the faces of those who make insane arguments, every time. Hardball in politics is necessary! No one has been more divisive in this country than the Left. 9/11 was just a blip – then they reverted.

Ann was great, somewhat giddy. I was waiting for something Controversal, but it’s didn’t happen.

Overall, a ho hum show.

As a musician myself, I’m with you mkstach. There’s a reason women can be heard on the airwaves in Afghanistan again, and it wasn’t a bumpersticker or folk song that did it.

You’ve gotta fight for your right to party.

After all, intelligence and intellect can shine though just as well wearing a while blouse and blue skirt! But enough of this foolishness! We have a democracy to save!

She always can stir up the bees in a beehive, stick her hand in there and get herself a boohoo of honey!..This time is a best seller!

May be that is her game.

It’s fun when, as Coulter says “the rabbit has the gun” .

I have mixed feelings about this. I do believe that music and pop culture influence political ideas. The music of the 60s had great influence on the anti-war movement. Today when I play oldies I still sing along to songs that I don’t agree with.

However, folksingers did not stop Hitler. Woody Guthrie had concern for the sailors on the Reuben James but it was the G.I.s that did the job.

I am also amused that the left is more likely to identify Bush as a fascist than they would the leaders of islamofascist states.

What’s a poor liberal to do? ATTAACK ANN COULTER–making her even richer with the attendant froth of publicity.

Hey Goldie Legs! I’m sure your choice of haute couture must make it really easy to pack given your busy schedule, but if I see that “little black dress” one more time I’m going to email Queer Eye and ask if they’ll make an exception.

Hell, I may wear the same right-wing conservative comfort clothes every day, you know, Camo, jungle boots, bandana, rucksack, bandoleer, and broadsword; but I never leave the ship!

PS. Yes I can use haute couture in a sentence if I want to! Wanna make something of it?

Her new column on human events is even harsher than the book.

By attacking the semantics instead of the backbone of her arguments, the liberals have basically said she has it right. They are not objecting to the claim that they are godless or that Clintoon is a rapist or that Darwinism is not a theory at all…Her logic is like salt on slugs to the libs.
Fun stuff.
