I agree 100%. It is difficult to do, but it is the right thing to do.The solution to people such as these is simple. Don't hate them. Don't point out their failings, their vile statements, their pathetic attempts to gain attention.
Just ignore them. Every time someone talks about how bad she is, they give her the publicity she craves. Every article, every segment, every water-cooler conversation feeds her. Respond to her with apathy and she is rendered impotent. Believe her to be unimportant and she will become just that. Just turn your back and walk away.
It's easy for some people to rationalize that just because one person didn't actually pull the trigger, then that person had no part in a murder.Excuse me, want to rethink that comment? People preach against those who are bigoted and evil. It's very fine and good to hate them. Mrs. Hilter should be put out to pasture already. No one should ever be tolerant of the intolerant. I don't know what the drivel you just typed is about, but somebody sure doesn't get the point and/or should look up the definition of hypocrasy. Seriously, think before you type.![]()
True. But admit it, the only ones who could possibly attempt to ignore her are those whom she is damaging.She is just a grade A ignorant attention whore. Her entire existance would cease if people quit paying attention to her.
No.Excuse me, want to rethink that comment?
Take another look at my 90% factor. She would have to be a lot more masculine to stimulate me.You're into two dollar trans hookers. We get it.
I agree 100%. It is difficult to do, but it is the right thing to do.
Regarding hatred generally, it is a destructive emotion, most importantly for the individual allowing himself or herself to indulge the hatred. People can be frustrating, difficult, ignorant, and self-centered, but I find that I still don't hate them, even when I hate the things they do.[/quote]
Hate is also just a word.
Coulter is hate-filled and hatefull, therefore to hate her is not a stretch. I hate her for the things she does and says.
As far as my hate for her goes, it is not self destructive. I have not thought about her for months and only see her on TV (in the news) when she can create a contoversy.For the most part I do ignore her.
She is an (negative) attention whore. I don't think that most Republicans or conservatives would even agree with her. (nor any decent people)
Not any more than liberals or Democrats agree with Al Sharpton.
We do have to recognize that the first has not been elected to hold any public office, while the second was the leader of a nation willing to do his bidding. Thus, how we "ignore" them may have to take different forms.Coulter has not actually physically participated in a queer beating or murder. But the fact that she encourages that type of behavior cannot be ignored.
I also don't know that A. Hitler himself personally executed any jews, but that does not absolve him of the damage he did to them with his rhetoric.

Individuals (such as the one living and ranting now) feed on the hatred they propagate. Yes, it is frightening and disturbing to know that there are those who listen to such hate filled rhetoric and are (though I hate to use this word in this situation) inspired. However, if you are reduced to hating and behaving similarly, such people react by feeling justified in flocking to such individuals.
Instead of REACTING to those individuals, and thus empowering their messages, PROactively address the issues that attract their adherents. Typically, they are reacting to fear of losing jobs, status, respect, security, comfort. Instead of telling them how stupid they are for listening and fearing, enlighten them as to how they can be more secure, happy, and comfortable without them or you resorting to fear and hatred.
Otherwise, we end up with the haters getting into positions of power, and ignoring, I agree, is no longer an easy option.
In addition to some of the other stuff she's said, I got mad when she tried to "clarify" her faggot comment about John Edwards saying that she didn't mean it offensively but meant it as "a schoolyard taunt". Sorry, but there have been too many gay men who have been beaten up, tormented or frightened by someone calling them a faggot. It's not just a schoolyard taunt. (And I don't the gossip that Coulter has gay close friends.)
While it was reported that way (by the same news organization that published obvious forgeries about Pres. Bush's ROTC service in an attempt to sway the election), Coulter was referring to the blatant attempts by a group of widows to financially profit by their husbands' deaths (over and above the compensation given them by Congress) or to utilize their widowhood to build political capital.How can anyone defend this...
She accuses four 9/11 World Trade Center widows of enjoying their husbands' deaths.
Mrs. (John) Edwards also confronted Coulter for writing that they had a bumper sticker on their car saying Ask me about my dead son in reference to the death of their son Wade.
Coulter was referring to the blatant attempts by a group of widows to financially profit by their husbands' deaths (over and above the compensation given them by Congress) or to utilize their widowhood to build political capital.
I don't care if the widows wanted political capital or money, either is their right.
So that's why she made the bad taste "Ask me about my dead son" bumpersticker joke; it was about a bad taste tactic (the bad taste tactic was Ann's comment) repeatedly used by a power-mongering scumbag and Edwards deserved to be lambasted.
You are entitled to your opinion.
Bush say that he is "worse than Hitler, because at least Hitler was trying to do help his people" (a patently idiotic statement, as Hitler was Austrian, not German).
Liberals and queers preach against hate and then they say they hate Ann Coulter? ...
She's obviously a hypocrite for having a job.I personally think that since she hates women's rights so much, she should be forced to stay at home, and never vote or anything. (I think I read somewhere that she didn't think women should have gotten the right to vote!)
She's obviously a hypocrite for having a job.
Now, again, does anyone know what happened with her voter fraud debacle after she knowingly registered and voted in the wrong precinct?
