This is Joe's Girl (0.00 / 0)

Coulter reminds me of Hadassah

Note how Joe has been silent since he frequents with Coulter and Hannity so often.

Coulter in the past has also blamed Jews for the HOlocaust so this is not new stuff.

Joe could denounce the two or keep cozying up with them.  Thus far Joe has been silent.

Joe Lieberman and George Bush believe that our govt should cut and run on capturing Osama Bin Laden so that Bush and the neocons could invade Iraq. Despite no Wmds and no links to 9/11, Lieberman supports that decision.

He had an opinion about Bill Clinton's morals (0.00 / 0)

What?  Joe has no publicly delivered opinion on Coulter's comment?  HO - ly Joe has opinions on Bill Clinton's sex life, and on nasty, deplorable children's video games.  Nothing publicly stated on Ann Coulter's sickening comment about Jews?

Where exactly is this enemy he fears going to come from?  Iraq?  Iran??  Has he ever considered those who incite terror and maltreatment of Jews may come from the American winger-people with whom he happily keeps company?  You're guarding the wrong door, Joe.

This is someone who goes to synagogue every Saturday.  This is someone who thinks he is not hypocritical,  thinks he's a man of principle who hasn't sold his soul to the devil. Is he in denial?

Speak up, Joe.  We can't hear you.

self-promotion aside

Ann Coulter's mother receives letter from her local paper

It took a few minutes to digest that this editorial is, in fact, a letter addressed to Nell M. Coulter of New Canaan, Conn. from Peter Urban of the Connecticut Post.

Peter's letter was a thing of beauty.

I'm getting an internal server error , here's a reprint I think (0.00 / 0)

the letter's from 2006?

I do know some nice folk who just have evil/batsh*t crazy/drug addled children.. and as Jon Stewart pointed out to Lynn Cheney, she's not responsible for what her husband's actions (although she did apparently sleep with him at least, twice? I think?).. so I'm not sure I'd call out a mother on the actions of her child.

she's such a hater...but then, which one of these right wingnuts isn't? O'Reilly picks on 11 year old boys who have been sexually abused and tortured.. the right wing demonizes sick children who are on scholarships...

why doens't the Republican party distance themselves from these people, publically? I don't agree with many (ok ANY) of their political positions, but surely they're still people and have a soul...??

Please call the Greenwich RTC chair to task for this!! (0.00 / 0)

Sarah, I hope you call the Greenwich Republican Town Committee chairman John Raben to task on this.  He suggested that politics was becoming ugly, blamed the "Moveon crowd" for it, and slammed the attacks on Joe Lieberman and Chris Shays.  Let's see him disavow Ann Coulter's disgusting comments (I should say her "latest" disgusting comments), and Rush Limbaugh for calling soldiers who oppose the war "phony soldiers," and the entire Republican Party for smearing the twelve year old boy on SCHIP and his family.  Let's see him condemn them!  (Raben wrote all that in a ltte to Greenwich Time last Sunday).

I was planning on asking the Media Initiative group (0.00 / 0)

to write to Joe on this - but maybe they should write some LTE's to the Greenwich Time about Raben too.

I was really ticked by Raben's comments in that LTE and his lumping anyone who criticizes Shays and Lieberman together as "the MoveOn crowd".

(not that I have anything against MoveOn, but I resent being lumped as one monolithic group because I have a certain opinion)

I've already sent in next Tuesday's column but maybe I'll tackle this next time. So many issues - so little time!

Write your own letters in response... (0.00 / 0)

I am proud to be part of the "moveon crowd". They are the people that don't believe the lies. They are the people that agree with over 20 retired generals, including General Sanchez who have publicly come out to question this war. [Raben] seems to be in the camp of Limbaugh "they are phony soldiers", Clouter "we have to perfect the Jews" and Malkin "telling lies and attacking 12 year olds and their families personally". To tell the truth, you can tell a lot about people from the company they keep. I would much rather be in the right, with Moveon and the 20 Generals, than be in [Raben's] right with those that represent the GOP today.

And that is called re-framing. As long as these patrons of hate don't disavow their messengers, they should be publicly humiliated for the embrace.

The question is not what you are, we already determined that, we are now negotiating price.

More on the Coultergeist (0.00 / 0)

Jewish groups are finally boycotting Coulter (what I want to know is WTF took them so long?).

Here's the Anti-Defamation League statement:

"The notion that Jews are religiously inferior or imperfect because they do not accept Christian beliefs was the basis for 2,000 years of church-based anti-Semitism. While she is entitled to her beliefs, using mainstream media to espouse the idea that Judaism needs to be replaced with Christianity and that each individual Jew is somehow deficient and needs to be 'perfected,' is rank Christian supersessionism and has been rejected by the Catholic Church and the vast majority of mainstream Christian denominations.

Clearly, Ann Coulter needs a wake-up call about the power of words to injure others and fuel hatred.  She needs an education, too, about the roots of anti-Semitism and the shared values of Judaism and Christianity.  Christians and Jews have worked tirelessly for more than 40 years to overcome the past and to promote a more tolerant and pluralistic vision for the future and especially for America."

I hope the witch finally threw the bucket of water over herself and her sponsorships and punditry gigs melt away.

PS - thanks to Sue, I finally figured out how to blockquote!!

National Jewish Democratic Council (4.00 / 1)

has now spoken out against Anne-ti-semite Coulter.

The National Jewish Democratic Council launched on an online petition to CNN, Fox News, MBC, CBS and ABC urging them to no longer use her as a commentator. "While Ms. Coulter has her freedom of speech, you have the freedom to exercise better judgment," the petition says. "You wouldn't put people who claim Martians roam the earth to frequently comment on science. It is time to stop putting Ms. Coulter on the air to comment on politics, thus giving her free publicity and attention."

Coulter, like many on the far-right, are equal opportunity haters. As much as they think they are better and thus not equal with everybody else, they do despise everybody else (blacks, hispanics, asians, the poor, gays, muslims and jews) equally.

Coulter's behavior no longer surprise me.

No right to life (4.00 / 1)

This may be a little off topic, but hate is the common denominator here.  I stopped by the local bowling alley for a delicious, greasy cheeseburger.  As I entered the building, I noticed a "W 04" bumpersticker on a huge old man car and as luck would have it, there were three old men sitting across from me.  They were talking about the evils of the current social security system and the spectre of universal health care.  I have a very low tolerance for Republicans and stupidity and it got to the point where I had to say something.

I piped up and told the three stooges that in Connecticut, individuals and employers currently pay 22 billion dollars for health care and 300,000 people, nearly 10% of CT's population,are left behind, whereas under the single-payer system that was proposed (and killed by the outstanding leadership of the supermajority), the entire cost would be 17 billion and everyone would be covered.  That piece of laser-beam logic failed to penetrate the cloud of stupidity that often surrounds Republicans on social issues.  "If it was free, people would be lining up if they got a hangnail and before you know it, the cost will be thirty-billion. "So you mean to tell me that you don't believe people have a right to health care?" I asked him.  He said "No. Where is it written in the Constitution?"  Wow!  I was gobsmacked.  But then again, why am I continually surprised by the party whose signature move is to pull the ladder up behind them.

I could go on about our conversation, but it would just be more of the same and I just don't get where these people come from.  As for Coulter, eeesh! She gives me the creeps.

Check out the troll on my saramerica blog (0.00 / 0)

The subject header was "Who started this anyway"

The argument isn't with Ann Coulter.
I find it really funny that Deutch is upset about what a Jew said.

Paul, the "super Jew" made the statement to his fellow Hebrews.

Hebrews 10:14
For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
(Jews that accepted Jesus who was offered for their sins)

And BIG NEWS.
This just in: Jesus was a Jew.
So the hypersensitive media Jews can go F themselves as far as I'm concerned.
And they can quit taking out their frustrations on people that have chosen to believe Jesus the Jew was who he said he was.
Jews started all this "christian" stuff anyway.

How terribly sad (0.00 / 0)

It's depressing that a bigotted fool like that could still exist in the America of the 21st century.  How sad that the ignorant could still harbor the bacteria of anti-semitism that could still flair out into the sort of brutal bloodshed that the world witnessed just six short decades ago.

How shameful that such an individual might reside in our midst.
