get bent...I can and will express myself all i want thanks and will allow the actual moderators to determine when i can and cannot participate. Is that OK with you?

I suppose i shouldnt be shocked since you are of the opinion its OK to stifle free speech...at least when its speech you disagree with.

You make it sound like poor, oppressed Ann Coulter has no venue to spew her hate.
No, I really dont.

Quote:
Relax, there are many, many outlets that allow her to spew her poison.

If this was actually someone who didn't already have a platform for their 'message', your point might actually be valid, but it seems most people have a tough time working up any sympathy for Ms. Coulter, just because her event was CANCELLED by the organizers in Ottawa
Not the point...but I am not surprised you missed it completely.

How can you keep going on and on about "Canada should be embarrassed", blah, blah, blah,
Because I feel like it. And because its the truth..something you have little interest in it seems.

but you ignore the fact that she spoke in TO and she spoke in Calgary. Seems to me that she's getting her message out just fine.
I ignored that did I? Care to point out where?

I thanked because he has similar views... and I don't hear the phrase "get bent" used nearly enough these days. Although I don't know what it means, it sounds like a good way to tell people to #$# off.

The major concern is the attitudes that resulted in what can only be described as stiffling of basic civil liberties. Not to mention the whole thing was broadcast by the international press.

I could care less about Ms. Coulter. I do care about civil liberties and so should you.
I pretty much agree with your take, but I think you wanted to say 'I couldn't care less' because if you could care less, well, you probably would.

This used to bug me as well, and I'd bust out the "Caring Continuum" when someone would type it wrong. Until I realized that for some reason most people tend to type "I could care less". I guess it's one of those things where so many people say it wrong that it just kind of becomes right.

Ann Coulter on Bill O'Reilly:

Ann Makes Bill sound normal.

LOL, yeah it doesn't bug me per say, not like when people say 'I seen' or use there, they're, or thier wrong. I find it interesting as I have used 'I could care less' on occasion with out really thinking about it, and you're right , it doesn't seem that out of place. I just thought I'd point it out.

I bumped into Rob Anders and my uncle at an Estate sale yesterday afternoon. I struck up a conversation to see how much he would say that he wouldn't want to get to the press.

comes with the rider, I'm more careful.

as for the great sig, I hope it was Transplant's misspelling of 'organization' rather than the bumper sticker's.

Also who gives a rat's ass how fox news or some Americans see our country, I like it the way it is pretty much.

No, Anne Coulter makes Anne Coulter look bad.

Reviving an old, favourite thread with the expedient excuse of provocative headline in the New York Times today: "Outflanked on the Right, Coulter seeks new image."

Basically, reinventing herself into a gay-loving, "Obama is not a Muslim" kind of gal, trying to get away from those pesky, media hogging Tea Party people.

Gotta make some money!!! The article:
