Ann Coulter: Not quick witted, but quick

No, that's the irony. Ann Coulter is such a biased, reckless, hate-filled, slanderous person that she makes these idiots look like people we could look up to.

The world according to Anne Coulter:

"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."

Physically intimidate liberals?

Couldn't have happened to a better bitch if you ask me.

I think one of the most destructive things for American society is this entrenched "two-party system" that has become the de facto standard. It's a well known phenomenon in psychology that any time people are divided into two teams (randomly, by eye colour, whatever), an "us against them" polarizing attitude inevitably develops. If there is actually some ideological foundation to the distinction between teams, I can only imagine the feeling would deepen. If American politics were more accepting of the idea of the inclusion of additional political parties and not so harshly partisan, you would probably find that before long you'd end up with a more moderate government and the whole liberal vs. conservative debate would become far less acrimonious.

Anne on foreign policy:

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

She deserved a couple of pies and bagel for that one.

Anne Coulter is not just someone with an opinion. She is not a "public figure". She is someone who makes her living off of speech that incites hate.

Add to that the fact that she is a liar and she practically wears a sign that says, "Please hit me in the head with a pie."

What a drama queen.

Let’s see, a woman on a stage alone giving a speech… suddenly she sees 2 large men running at her… What goes through her mind?

1. They are going to harm me
2. They are going to beat me up
3. They are going to kill me

At the last second as they approach the terrified defenseless woman who is afraid of her life they pull out pies and toss them at her.

Yeah, that’s hilarious.

Try it with President Bush or any former President and they are liable to be shot by the secret service. Not too funny then either.

Regardless of the political affiliation or anything else frightening a woman like that is not funny at all. I would say the same thing if she were Hillary Clinton.

Actually, her thin frame screams "Please feed me a pie."

At least Maureen Dowd has a little bit of the "Rowr" factor in her favor.

yeah, throwing a pie at someone who defends people who start wars and murder and torture the innocent civilians caught in the midst is no longer socially acceptable....

And in the interest of fairness:

Michael Moore has a frame that screams "Please hit me with pies, many many times. Odds are that I'll eat them up before you land a blow."

Actually Maya Angelou is kind of a windbag, too, in her own way. Still, I'd get pissed seeing her get pied. Bill Kristol is a classy guy; he got plastered, but he wiped his face off, made a joke and continued speaking. Pat Buchanan, on the other hand ran sulking off the stage when he got pied and it didn't really get him that much.

"Mmmm... pie!"

I won't begin to try and understand Coulter's delusional framework or what might be running through her mind, but I am offended by the implication that a pie attack is any more scary to a woman than a man. That just reinforces the Victorian notion of women as helpless victims that need to be sheltered and protected.

Whatever else that bitch is, she's not helpless.

Sadly, people cannot see past the personality of the person being assaulted to see the crime being committed...But, just wait. One day soon, some peace activist or University professor (hopefully Ward Churchhill) will have the stage stormed and a pie planted in their face. From that day forward, the attitude from the media and others will be that the act was a horrible assault, which they will hype up into such a furious level that you'll think the speaker was actually gang raped ala mode on stage, and that the whole pie in the face thing which was so innocently used as a tool for light-hearted protest has now been stolen by the evil conservatives and corrupted into a tool of fear and suppression of free ideas....

I love that. "Hypothetical stupidity." Maybe you should be a safety inspector, they probably get paid for pontificating on the dumbest or most unfortunate possible outcomes of human activity.

I wonder why nobody's thought to have a televised pie fight for charity between the nation's leading windbags?

Maybe they could actually even give the money to something more important than Tsunami victims (only about 225,000 of those killed), I mean, big waves aren't even preventable. But when was the last time I saw a huge media campaign for Genocide?
1994: Rwanda, up to 1,000,000 killed; up to 2,000,000 displaced
1999: Indonesia/Timor, up to 1500 killed; 70% of property destroyed; 3/4 of population displaced
1970's-1996- 200,000+ Mayans killed in Guatemala
1979-Present: Iran, 200 B'hai minority killed, hundreds imprisoned
1983 to Present: Sudan; 2,000,000; 5,000,000 displaced

Just saying...

At the very least, a pie fight between all these overblown media personas would be really funny to watch. "Rush Limbaugh looks unstoppable out there on those painkillers, never even feeling the crust as it breaks against his flesh! But, oh no, here comes Michael Moore, seemingly unfazed by the Red team's full-frontal assault."

If someone pies Ward Churchill, and people who laughed when Ann Coulter got pied scream and moan and bitch, I will be THE FIRST to say "Sit down, shut up, you laughed when it happened to her, now laugh when it happens to someone you like. Or just stop laughing alltogether when ANYONE gets pied."

Thats the problem with these sorts of things. You have to watch out, and deal with the blowback.

With that said, I think pieing people is funny as hell, no matter who it is.

What worries me is that the severe mental disease suffered by Ann Coulter is infectious, and has spread to both liberals and conservatives alike. Some are resisting this disease; most embrace it as though it were normal - which is the first behavioral symptom, of course.

You reap what you sew.

She spouts off some of the most insanely disturbing words of any American I know and surely she must know that eventually that kind of bull will catch up with her. It's not right, but I certainly can't think of someone more fitting for pie.



Personally, I think he was just trying to feed her... I mean, look at how skinny that b*tch is.. she needs that pie!

I tend to think that Ward Churchill will ultimately get hit with something harder than a pie; he has really touched a lot of nerves with his sniping. I lost three good friends and a couple of acquaintances on 911 and I don't think of any of them as being in any way like Eichmann. They just got up in the morning, same as every other day and went to work and did their thing, and all of them left families with small children behind. Throwing pies is assault, plain and simple. I think the reason it's not prosecuted more is that charges are rarely made, the target wanting to seem like a good sport and all.

Anne Coulter is an entertainer, pure and simple. Most pundits are. They are out to make money for their media outlets by spewing vitriol at their chosen targets. It gets people on her side to read/watch so they can cheer her on, and it gets those targeted by her to read/watch so they can feel that wonder of outrage. Either way, Coulter sells papers and boosts ratings.

If you're really serious about silencing Coulter's voice in the sea of politi-talk, the correct action to take is to not jump up and down in outrage, or throw pies at her. The correct action is to ignore her. She is the conservative equivalent of Jon Stewart, except for the fact that A) he admits to being an entertainer and B) he's actually funny.

Ward Churchill is a shallow, sanctimonious, tenured idiot, and represents the worst in academe. And for that reason, if he's relieved of his position or prosecuted for his statements, those who take him on will be acting like Eichmann, and lending Churchill the credibility he does not deserve.

Leaving him exactly where he is makes the best possible statement against terrorism. That, and publicly demonstrating how shallow and sanctimonious he is.

Unfortunately, people like Ann Coulter lend people like Ward Churchill credibility.

I'm running out of other cheeks to turn, short of dropping my britches.

Do the full moonty.

Worst. pun. ever. (Yes, you can shoot me now.)

See, that's funny!

Now, I just have to say this...Ann Coulter IS a windbag. I think she does a great disservice to the party she claims to represent. And frankly, if anyone deserves a pie in the face for saying stupid things, it is Ann Coulter.

But when I heard this news story, my reaction was not outrage, but puzzlement. What the fuck could you possibly accomplish by rushing at people onstage and trying to smack them with a pie? It is mildly amusing, but only as an after effect.

Now, I don't know how any of the respondants in this thread feel about griefing in SL. But perhaps you will now find any and all forms of griefing, against you or anyone else, as simply funny. Because your opinions on anything probably conflict with the views of someone else. When that someone else decides to grief you (disregard TOS as you disregard RL laws as a measure of the acceptability of something) then you need to laugh and accept tat you deserve it. Plus, what harm can a little virtual assualt cause? After all, RL physiccal assualt apparently concerns you very little.

So, I dont want to hear any complaints about SL griefing if you have made a comment here that does not denounce such behavior.

I have you all on my list. I will be creating an alt and griefing each of you who think that Ann Coulter deserves to be assualted.

I think all of us here are now agreed that cream pieing is assault and so perhaps it is time to consider the long, violent, and messy history of cream pieing.

While certainly not an expert on the subject I have certain recollections of jerky black and white movies where the pies would fly like bullets and characters of dubious character were constantly sneaking up on other characters and slamming pies into their faces. It may seem like innocent entertainment on the surface but let's take a look behind the scenes. You may say that the actors involved consented to this assault but have you considered that they may have lost their jobs had they refused to take part in a cream pie scene that the director felt was essential to the script? Actor's unions were not strong in those days and it may be only due to the dedicated work of labor rights activists in the entertainment industry that today we rarely see actors subject to this demeaning and violent treatment in the name of entertainment.

Remember that there were no special effects to speak of in the days when cream pieing was a popular element of slapstick 'comedy', there were no trained stuntmen taking the place of actors at the moment of pie impact, there were no clever feints to make it only appear that the cream pie hit the face as is the case when one actor pretends to punch or slap another, these actors were ACTUALLY GETTING HIT WITH REAL CREAM PIES.

Has Hollywood no shame? Had no one considered the possibility of injury or death due to this barbaric practice? Surely this can be considered on par with gladiators or cock fighting in it's immoral disregard for the safety of the participants simply to give the audience a few unsophisticated laughs. Perhaps you will recall the infamous cream pie scene from Bugsy Malone, how can we possibly justify such cruel and callous exploitation of children?


I certainly hope this is starting to sound ridiculous because I can't keep it up for much longer. C'mon guys it's pies.

So on one alt you'll be Mother, on the other you'll be Anti-Santa.

I wonder what will happen if you two mate with yourself?

You have issues Chance, you really do.
