Look at the little rushncrap at the bottom of the cartoon, he’s trying to look up Ann’s skirt.

It’s a good thing cartoon boy didn’t draw his lower half, there’s no telling what that little pervert is doing.

In response to John Edwards’ refusal to fire two staffers for “intolerant” Web postings, the president of the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights group said he will launch a campaign next week to point out “the double-standard that [Edwards] is the kingmaker of.”

Refusal to fire two people that insulted the protected constitutional right of 250,000,000 Americans:

What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?- John Edwards Official Blog

So tell me, did the Urinal draw any cartoons about this outrage?

Did any pinkos stand up for Christians like the way they whine and gnash their teeth over little Johny Playground’s hurt fweelings, po, po thing?

It’s a tad hypocritical, as usual, don’t you think?

Every 28 or so days for over 30 years I got one great big nasty zit. Fecund women and married men understand the basic principles of the period pimple. Pops up quickly and if left alone goes away on its own. If you play with it or pick at it, It can get nasty and infected.

I liken Ann Coulter to that special zit. Leave her alone she will go away.

Actually, George Will , respected American conservative, said it well yesterday when asked about Ms. Coulter, “The less said about him the better.”

Now, I have to go wash my own mouth out with soap and do a couple of decades on my rosary as penance for blogging in such a vile way.

I LOVE Ann Coulter. She helps discredit the neocons by exemplifying their hysterical craziness. Every time she opens her ignorant mouth, another swing voter abandons the Republicans, never to look back.

Great work, Ann! Must suck for you Bush backers to have such an embarrassment for a spokesmodel, huh? Remember, folks: Ann Coulter is the Voice of the Right—and she’s always wrong!

This is so sick and sad. What the republican party has become is disgraceful. Anyone who associates with it should be ashamed of themselves. If you are a kid, and know you are gay, due to your own self awareness, this type of verbal bile only begins the process of self hatred and pain. She is disgusting. I’m sure my coworker agrees. He was beaten up so badly in college that half of his stomach had to be removed. His attackers were calling him f*ggot while smashing his skull. Screw this disgusting party and what it has become.

Luckovich nails it again. Coulter’s tactic is what can be expected from any who still support the transparent pervert and traitor in the White House. Bush-supporter Limbaugh, too, is a transparent pederast (Viagra carrying sex tourist to child prostitution haven Dominican Republic). For more proof of the Spirit of the Age the Dems just can’t seem to wrap their minds around watch “Conspiracy of Silence” on Google Video about the Franklin Coverup, Boys Town and the homosexual prostitutes in the previous Bush White House…if Jeff Gannon/James Guckert’s recent trysts with the sitting 9-11 committing Draft-dodger-in-Chief fails to make it obvious enough.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumers will pay more for gasoline in the weeks ahead as fuel demand picks up going into the spring driving season, but a slowing economy may keep pump prices from rising as much as normal, energy experts said on Monday.

But the recent steep fall in the U.S. stock market and more concerns about the health of the American economy could dampen the rise in gasoline prices if consumers start cutting back on their driving and petroleum demand weakens, said Geoff Sundstrom, a spokesman for the AAA travel group.

Ain’t the cycle of supply v demand grand? Wouldn’t it be grander if Repulicans understood the first thing about it?

Ain’t it pathetic that a decade after Bill Clinton deftly led the nation to prosperity in spite of being weighed down with a Republican Congress, that a ‘good’ news story is how gas prices won’t rise quite as fast as they should because our economy is doin so poorly?

Anybody got any idea about what is says when the ‘demand’ side slows due to inflation on the ‘supply’ side of the equation? Hint: It ain’t a good thing! Whenever we have had a President that destroys our economy all the way down to the demand cycle, we have historically been headin into some very deep shiite! Hold onto your seats, everyone, now you’re really goin for a fun ride on the Bush bandwagon, rather ya want to or not!

Hey Jeff,

Maher never called for the death of the Vice President, they were discussing the rights of bloggers to freely express their opinions on such matters.

The exact quote by Maher was:

Maher: But I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow. (applause)

(then later in response)

Maher: I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.

So quit spin doctoring and lying Jeff!

Alright, I’ll make all the liberals happy here. I’ve said it before and I don’t mind saying it again. I’m a conservative, and…..

I don’t like Ann Coulter.

I do, however, know where she came from. For all the years that I was a Democrat, I observed, and grew to dislike their negative attacks on conservatives’ traditional values.

I voted Democrat, the husband voted Republican. A personal conflict within our own household.

I came to see the Democrats’ attacks as an affront on a “good man”, and the traditional values which he supported to make our family strong.

Ann Coulter is a result in other words to what liberals, in the past, have entitled themselves.

I’m making no excuses for Ann, but I am making an overall observation that includes liberals, past and present.

That being said, a little parody for all to enjoy.

And good news for you liberals. I recall when Robert Gates was nominated by Bush to replace Donald Rumsfeld, all of you “screamed” that he was a Bush insider nominated to do the President’s bidding.

Gates being called the ‘anti-Rumsfeld

Now you can all call him the “Anti-Christ”, and conservatives all know how happy that’ll make you.

Ann Coulter is doing a fine job of being a spokesperson for the Republican Party. At least she’s honest. She makes no pretense of being a “compassionate conservative” or any of that nonsense. She’s displaying clearly where the hearts and minds of many of the rightists really are.

Up here in the mountains there’s an old country store where a lot of the “good old boys” gather to shoot the crap. It’s a real Republican bastion. But they’re honest. They’ll tell you that they real reason they’re such staunch Republicans is because the Dems support blacks and gays. Of course they use more colorful terms to describe these groups. The owner of the store will tell you straight to your face that the reason he’s a Republican is the voting rights act of 1964.

One of the reasons that that the Republican party has grown so strong in the south is that bigots and racists just feel so comfortable with it (although I will admit that not all Republicans are bigots or racists). Maybe we could say that the Republican party “enables” bigots.

Then while they are tuned-in to her nasty, filthy, sluty ways and manners, all the filth she can think of just comes flying out of her trashy, potty mouth and they think it’s the gospel truth. Besides, I don’t think anyone on the republican side want to start using the “F” word. Those young pages in Washington may give me an Amen on this one.

mountain man - as one of those raised by mountain folk who were the only Republicans in the south for years (western NC and eastern TN) I just have to say you are full of it. No one I knew was ever a Republican for the reasons you stated. In fact, Howard Baker, from eastern TN supported the Fair Housing Act etc… while many Democrats of that era did not. These people are Republicans because they supported the ideals of the party of Lincoln and not the party of George Wallace and Lester Maddox. I know very few overtly racist Republicans or Democrats and it is offensive to people of both stripes to be catagorized by such outrageous characterizations. That’s like calling all liberals murderers and hypocrites because Ted Kennedy is one.

She is not compassionate. She is not fair. She can, at times, be vile.

She is not unlike Randi Rhodes, Huffington, or many other hacks from the other end of the spectrum.

Comments she made recently will either cost her dearly, or promote her into the limelight even more. I hope it is the former. There is no defense for her actions of late.

Getalife @ 10:05:

Me come back to the Democratic party?

After witnessing what I have on this blog, that’s not likely to happen anytime soon.

I’m a moderate conservative. The liberals won’t even accept even us. On this site alone, they attack our faith, our education; they refer to us as “rednecks”, “trailer trash”, “idiots”,——-> “retards” <———-I find that one offensive not for myself, but for the kids I work with.

We’re “warmongers”, “homophobes”, “murderers”, “greedy consumers”. I could go on and on with the vile and unfounded accusations against conservatives.

You steal our names here, robbing us of our free speech, putting your vile words in posts to mislead readers.

The way I see it, nothing has changed from that which I saw in the past.

Not until recently did you guys profess to pursue “civil dialogue”. Maybe that had to do with somebody pointing out that you certainly weren’t benefitting your party with all your hate.

Now you want me to buy back into the Democratic party?

In conclusion, I find you liberals untrustworthy.

So……NO CAN DO!!!!!!!

Off to work.

candide - you still did not define fascist and I believe that you cannot. You seem to be labeling any Christian as a fascist, when that is really not the case. Some like Franco did profess to be Christians, yet they also were plainly hostile to free enterprise and basic human freedoms. Pat Buchanan is a fascist. Ann Coulter is just a crashing bore. Please do not paint with such a broad brush!

Ann is one person, one opinion, you all are making her influence appear to be monolithic, it simply isn’t that way. Does Al Sharpton and some of the zany off the top comments he makes speak for all the Democrats? No. You are helping her sell more books, garner more speaking engagements and have her face plastered all over the papers. She is loving this attention. If your child says something to get attention, the first time you mildly laugh, or cringe….then you ignore it going forward. She now feels she needs to ‘one up’ everyone and now what? Another remark and more press. The uncalled for and unwarranted barbs can cut both ways. You can’t constantly call a sitting President an idiot, say the VP’s death means life for others and not be able to handle a little name calling from the other sides lips and then run home from the playground telling mommy someone called me a name. Don’t live up to her name calling.

Libby verdict reached.

By Blackadder

John Gibson host of The Big Story with John Gibson on Fox News defended Ann Coulter last night on his show. He didn’t do it by defending what she said. He didn’t even defend it by claiming freedom of speech. No, he defended it by contrasting what Ms. Coulter’s disgusting comments about John Edwards to what he says was Bill Maher’s statement that he wished the terrorist attempt on Dick Cheney had succeeded. You see, in Right-Wing wacko land, you can excuse any action if you can just find something a liberal did that you can say was worse.

The thing is Bill Maher never said that. What Bill Maher was discussing on his show was whether or not commentors on the Huffington Post should have been censored for saying THEY wished Cheney had died. It was a quote. It was discussed by his panel and most people agreed that the Huffington Post staff had a right to delete the comments. Bill argued it was a freedom of speech issue, but that line of thinking went nowhere. Barney Frank teases Bill that he said Cheney should have been killed, but Maher is quick to point out he was reading a quote.

Not that you get that from watching Gibson. No, Gibson flat out lies about what was said. He twists the context of the conversation so bad that there is no other way to phrase it. I’m sure Gibson bets his audience isn’t likely to watch the “liberal” Bill Maher and won’t bother fact checking. That says a lot for the people who watch his show, none of it very good.

Amazing. Ann Coulter makes a point about how absurd it is to go into rehab for using he word “f*” and all the libs claim in an unmistakeably derogatory manner that Ann is a lesbian.

You people are seriously confused about where you stand on the issues - but that’s to be expected when you believe in nothing except Big Government and being ANTI-everything ele.

For the record, Ann is also a SATIRIST, and does not hold public office. This f* comment may not be the brightest or funniest thing she’s ever said, but it pales in comparison to what Edward’s bloggers, Bill Maher and our own idiot parrots say^^^.

Old Fudd, I was very clear to point out that that not all Republicans are racists or bigots. What I am saying is that the racists and bigots feel a “safe haven” in the Republican party. I’m from a county in the mountains of North Carolina which has had a long standing reputation for bigotry. Not that many years ago there was a sign at the county line warning all blacks to be out by sunset. At that time the county had a majority of Democrats, called “southern democrats”. Over the years, however, the majority party in the county has become Republican. Although the county is not quite as intolerant as before, it’s still a very intolerant place. Blacks still feel uncomfortable coming here. You don’t hear folks using the “N” word as much as before. But its still okay to blast gays and for preachers to condemn them from the pulpit.

What’s happened is that its not okay to be a bigot and a Democrat here, so all those folks of the bigoted persuation have simply switched parties. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about, I live here.

“Look at the fact that we call it the “Iraq War.” Where was the war? Doesn’t a war involve two sides fighting against each other? The “Iraq War” was simply one country (with a few hangers-on) dropping a lot of bombs on another country after it had sent in teams of inspectors to make sure that the country it was bombing didn’t have any weapons to fight back with. I can’t think of any “war” in history that has been conducted on a more cowardly basis.” –Terry Jones

I mangage many emploees across Georgia and South Carolina, and am very successful. I have a simple rule. If you have a problem, bring a solution. If the solution is reasonable, help impliment it.

Under pressure from House Republicans, Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be backing away from a plan to place Rep. William J. Jefferson on the Homeland Security Committee.

When Democrats make a mistake, they correct it. When Republicans make a mistake they ‘stay the course’ and ‘surge’ ahead, regardless of what voters, military commnaders, world opinion, or anybody else says. Democrats bend, adapt and change, while stiff intractable Republicans break and fail in the strong winds of today’s global political climate.

Is there any wonder that Republicans are categorically unable to work in a bipartisan manner for the good of America!
