What's the word here...? Evasive?

E: …the language of hate, and I’m going to ask you again to politely stop using personal attacks as part of your dialogue.

C: Okay, I’ll stop writing books.

E: If you can’t write them without them, that is fine.

E: I’m asking you politely to stop, to stop personal attacks –

C: How about you stop raising money on your web page then? No, you don’t have to because I don’t mind.

E: I did not start with that. You had a column a number of years ago where you suggested — wait till I finish talking please…

C: Okay, the wife of a presidential candidate is calling in asking me to stop speaking.

M: Let her finish the point. Let her finish the point.

C: You’re asking me to stop speaking? “Stop writing your columns. Stop writing your books.”

M: Ann, please.

E: You had a column several years ago which made fun of the moment of Charlie Dean’s death and suggested that my husband had a bumper sticker on the back of his car saying, “Ask me about my dead son.” This is not legitimate political dialogue.

C: This is now three years ago.

E: It debases political dialogue. It drives people away from the process. We can’t have a debate about the issues.

C: Yeah, why isn’t John Edwards making this call?

M: Well, do you want to respond? We’ll end the conversation.

E: I haven’t talked to John about this call. I’m making the call as a mother. I’m the mother of that boy who died. My children participate — these young people behind you are the age of my children. You’re asking them to participate in a dialogue that is based on hatefulness and ugliness instead of on the issues, and I don’t think that’s serving them or this country very well.

[Applause]

M: Thank you very much Elizabeth. You wanna respond? You have all the time in the world to respond.

C: I think we heard all we need to hear. The wife of a presidential candidate is asking me to stop speaking. No.

I think its sad when people reach such a level of political involvement that they can't respond to questions on a human level. It's understandable when politicans do it, if they have a party line to follow and a job to protect, but that was just lame. And her debating skills clearly need a bit of work... "You’re asking me to stop speaking? “Stop writing your columns. Stop writing your books.”" Isn't that how a stroppy teenager argues? I'm amazed she didn't storm up to her room and put loud music on. :lol:

There are double standards here though. Liberal activists can say whatever they want about a republican but how 'dare' anyone republican say something insulting about a democrat. I can pull up hundreds of examples as the liberal fan club has no problem with opening their mouth.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

You've got to be kidding me. I thought everyone realized Ann Coulter was a ruthless shrew at this point.

I wouldn't demean the Republican party by including that a$$hole among their number. They should be ashamed of this woman's claim to conservatism - she's a hack and a rabble-rouser, not a career politician with actual ideas related to policy issues.. She seems to profit from the lowest common denominator of political discourse - which is little more than gutter-trash.

Making cracks about people's dead children is... shall we say... heinously insensitive; and says nothing useful about the people she's insulting, or indeed their politics.

She is exactly like every other democrat actor and comedian who talks ###### about republicans and the president.

Do you admire that sort of discourse though?

I wonder if in that assessment and praise of Ann Coulter's cold-hearted, mean-spirited, juvenile display you might consider the possibility that John and Elizabeth Edwards are human beings who "just might" have loved their son and been devastated by his death (the same as every parent who has lost a child).

It says a lot that while people might disagree on areas of politics there are people out there who see nothing wrong with hating a political opponent on a personal level and believing that their motives are inherently cynical.

Coulter is evil IMO. And low class evil at that.

Not to mention, who wears a cocktail dress at 6 a.m. or 2 p.m.? Did she just swing by MSNBC on the way home whilst doing the walk of shame?

Name a few (or even one) who have made similar personal attacks - you'd have to go pretty low to find anything more offensive than making light of someone else's family tragedy.

Or to descend to Coulter's level - I'd say its no coincidence that she's unmarried and childless.

Come on now. You have comments from Bill Maher, Baldwin, Clooney, Rosie, Michael Moore to name a few.. Their comments just do not get the spotlight in comparison to anyone with right wing views with a mouth..

Did we forget the following comments:

As far as I know Opie and Anthony don't try to pass themselves off as legitimate political commentators. Rosie isn't a commentator either; and while she's been called a liberal - as anyone seems to be dubbed liberal who dislikes the Bush Government, her comments are so outlandish as to be well... stupid.

So I'm still wondering what Bill Maher, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, Michael Moore and lets not forget Sean Penn and Tim Robbins have said which you think is on a par with jokes about dead children and someone else's family tragedy.

I'm surprised noone looking at this tape has wondered why even a perfunctory "I'm sorry for your loss" was not offered. Instead Coulter seemed astounded that she was being presented with a "3 year old" comment. The kid died 11 years ago - do you suppose the family is dancing a jig on his birthday each year?
