The NYT and WSJ have worthy pieces on the nuts and bolts of social outrage in l’affaire Imus in case you care, which I really don’t.

You should. You could be next.

Don’t make us chose! The two methods (in my eyes) are not diametrically opposed. I think MM and gang ascribe to themselves a calling that will never exist. AC operates under no such illusions.

Other than this remark and their criticism of one person, what evidence have you seen of this to back up your claims?

While I cheer MM and BP on and am infatuated with LI, I have to admit that Hiraghm is correct. And while there may be a single agenda, there are two distinct tactics or methods. AC’s method is logic and humor and she takes (and gives) great pleasure in documenting the left’s fallacies, myths and ironies.

MM’s method is logic, but to a fault. I think there is a great need for her work (and BP’s and AP’s), but they need to step back now and then to adjust focus, to be able to discriminate. No one has put robes on them, they have taken no vow of neutrality, and whether they like it or not, they are in a battle with a foe that gives no quarter and is guided by no morals. No matter how many times you ask the Moonbats, they will not willingly attack those who attack their enemy so effectively.

Now if MM & Co. will attack AC, they will attack anyone else who does not play ball their way. But why? Why would they do so? I don’t think they can help themselves. I think there is a slight generational difference and I think that they have travelled the path too far now and reached a prominence such that they see AC ripples as threats to their stability.

Third, Who has been the leading woman in standing up to the PC culture and enduring scathing criticism by both sides for it? Who has never backed down from it?

I know…I know!

Well put, Dog.

Does anyone here know who the sponsors are for Al Sharpton’s radio show ?

DoctorDentons on April 13, 2007 at 1:24 PM

His radio website is sponsored by McDonalds and Walmart. Usually sponsors for the website are for the radio as well.

You made the claim.

Did you hear Gregory apologize to Jackson for appearing on the Imus show?

How do you like Ana Marie Cox’s defense of Imus in Time?

Did you hear Imus call Harold Ford Jr a coward for failing to come to his defense?

Oliphant’s a columnist in the Globe. Where’s his article defending his good pal?

What has John Kerry said in the I-Man’s defense?

Cue crickets chirping…

No honey, YOU made the claim:

All his new so-called friends ran away and hid on him.

I pointed out that many of his friends have come to his defense–these are people I heard/saw do so. Do you think I made this up, especially when it can be so readily checked? Please.

I suspect that short of being caught with the proverbial dead girl or live boy, Sharpton is immune to a boycott.

I’m sure you can find some links, but these are people I saw with my own eyes, mostly on MSNBC coverage.

Looks like there’s a battle brewing between real conservatives and pseudo-conservatives. Ann is obviously in the conservative camp, and the more I read, the more Malkin and Ingraham fall into the pseudo camp. It’s sad to see someone you once liked fall victim to pseudo-conservatism.

“…too many gin and juices”? Wow, been hanging out with libs, Ms Malkin? Personal swipes because you can’t refute her argument?

Ann Coulter is the only pundit thus far who ‘gets’ what’s wrong with what Imus said; the targets of his derision were undeserving. Snoop’s “hos” are generic, even fictional. Like telling a dumb-blonde joke vs calling a blonde a “dumb blonde”. Or like telling a joke that begins, “two drunks walk into a bar” vs saying, “…she’s been drinking too many gin an juices”.

It appears that the difference between Malkin and Ingraham, and Coulter is that Coulter is willing to actually do battle and defeat the enemy, whereas Malkin and Ingraham merely want to give them democracy, no matter what the cost.

In fact, he’s not really anything anymore. Just a flamed-out shell of a race-baiting opportunist. You see, Dr. King stood for integrating all races, and not directing hate toward those whites that were oppressing blacks through their actions (and/or ….

Good link. I’d forgotten Barnicle’s role in this. Figures, given Carr and the Plagiarist’s history.

Michelle not only has the intelligence, courage, beauty, and ability to effectively articulate her points – she is on the right side.

Michelle certainly has risen to Super Stardom in my book. Go Michelle Go!
