Zing! You've been Coultered

Anne Coulter says talking about Johnathan Edwards "ends you up in rehab if you use the word faggot".

She seeks to imply that John Edwards is a faggot.

She doesn't mean it in the "today's meaning" context of "fag". Where kids say "you are such a fag" intending to criticize poor taste, but meaning no connection to homosexuals or homsexuality. Yes, "that's so gay" or "you are such a fag" are negative, and have deep roots in broad culturall homophobia, the word seems have been stripped of their power by their commonness and much wider usage.

I went to lunch at the Friar's Club last week, and saw Bill Boggs interview Lisa Lampanelli, the "insult comic". She explained why it's ok for her to say what she says on stage, and it was not ok for Michaell Richards. She said it's all about what's inside when you say it. She can convey to the people that she doesn't hate black people, no matter what her words say. Michael Richards failed to. It seemed clear that he was raising his inside-flag.

Anne Coulter means it in the "old way". She does hate. She hates everybody outside a very narrow demographic (hers), and she uses her sharp teeth to attack any outsider who rises high enough to get her attention.

What I find most ironic is this: the Democratic party is filled with homosexuals, members and leaders. Gay Democrats don't need to hide their identity. They know who they are, "we, the people" know who they are. There are no pretenses, no "family values" litmus tests that, if you fail it, will get you in big trouble. No pedos chasing interns, no male prostitutes staying in Democratic White Houses overnight (remember Jeff Gannon? Just who WAS he visiting in the Bush White House those nights he stayed over? - I'll take Monica over a freak like that any day).

So, Ann Coulter does not need to sneeringly accuse John Edwards of being a "faggot". It is meaningless. Just a partisan attack aimed at getting the rock-solid-supporting Bubbas laughing.

Thing is, Bubba ain't laughing. The "base" they've counted on for so long to support their hate-filled ideology has abandoned them.

Bubba knows he has a hell of a lot more in common with John Edwards. He really, truly, did grow up dirt poor in the South and made himself what he is today - a contender who has NOT forgotten where he came from.

Our president and his ilk (Coulter included) came from Big Money. His common-man gimmick is Academy Award grade acting, but he is a boy raised at the highest levels of privelege, given the best schooling money can buy (in the most Yankee Elite schools in the world). I hear he really doesn't like ranches or horses.

They were bred with the same disdain for the poor (or every creed and color) that a dalmation has for chickens in the road. The dalmation snatches the chicken, shakes it and throws it to the side of the road to make way for the fire wagon. These mega-rich elitists who run the GOP have sort of done the same thing with us.

But the ideology Coulter represents is like the Phase One of Construction hole the dug that never got filled with foundation. It did fill with runoff, rusted cars and shopping carts. There are snakes, and currents to catch your ankle and drag you down. It freezes over in winter, but not thick enough for skating. Kids try, and fall through the ice.

It's a sad, pathetic pit.

While it has taken some time, people have learned to stay away from it.

People have learned to stay away from Ann Coulter, too.

She, like the corrupt ideology she shills, is irrelevant. It seems the press hasn't realized this yet.

As an unabashed blue-state Yankee, I must say I am quite pleased to see a blog of this nature. The commentary is razor-sharp and the Confederate flag graphic in the background is hilarious. I think you've got a very well-considered and insightful blog here, and I will most definitely be back. Keep it coming.

Hey, Brendan, I see you were impressed by my "Hole that gets dug but never filled" analogy.

Thanks for the reference!

It's a deeper concept than it seems at first.War is simply a lot of it, done indiscriminately.

Some of the Army Corps of Engineers projects seem to be absolutely pure hole.

And..... mindless belief in tearing down useful civic infrastructure, without any replacement is an anarchist's version of it.

I just read about a Buddha statue where the great one is giving us all the finger.(For real) Seems in old China, the middle finger pointed up represented oneness with the universe.

Being a kind of "suspended between planes" blue collar Bubba-with a personal library, I find the finger-of-oneness very useful in this life, where so many social discrimination issues have been subtly greenwashed by being subsumed in ostensibly altruistic drives for "world betterment".

It's all about upping the "crypto" portion of our innate crypto fascism, and hiding our cruelty under wraps (as in buying carbon offset credits).

Once we get the "Crypto" part nice and perfumed, locked up, & buried, then we can act on the fascism portion, and start calling others Bubba. Its easy!

Sure, I would like to see world peace, a tourist haven in Darfur, free power from sunbeams, and a Woodstock concert every Friday night, but first I have to educate John Hall that I want it all, so he can begin his "noble" work.

In the meantime, my personal enlightenment is impeded by having to work for crass devilish masters,endless disagreement with domestic partners who refuse to save enough money, and a society that has no name for my personality type/sex preference/entertainment desires, and ultimate life-hopes.

It's not about being "above faggotry", its about cruel monkey-derived psychosexual cruelty driving almost every elitist rant around,... who gets the girl, who gets elected, who gets into Scarsdale High, who gets an inheritance, and who has to travel 36 hours in the back of a stinking 18 wheeler with 50 other peons to just find work.

Its about splitting the human pie unfairly, and having a great and noble cover story to explain why its really fair to do so.

(Al Gore comes to mind).

Monkey deception. Self deception. Self aggrandizement. Secret advantage over others. St Francis of Assisi, who was not a sissy, would be mortified.

But we don't listen to holy joe faggotry like that anymore, do we?

We be moderne!

Anybody know a good Guatemalan nanny I can put up in my garage?

Too bad you retired.

Nobody to talk to around here. (Sherman Martinelli is no fun at all)...I just commented on your Loisaida CBGB's post. Read up, see how the generation before punk lived, and treat your diva nice for no reason today.

I like that hole analogy very much, it's very apt and extends way beyond the basic meaning. I still think you should allow comments on the blog - you can moderate them and delete the brainless attacks.
True, it's labor intensive when your views attract tireless activist-typists who deeply despise (or adore) the subjects you write about.
I take exception to your comment a couple weeks ago that suggested I was sinking into partisanship when I pointed out that the Democrat congress would exact a pound of flesh from the president for his constant abuse of the party's name. I think they should laugh it off for the stupidity it magnifies. A more appropriate response, in my mind, would be to refer to the Republican party only as the Nookyuler party.
Wouldn't it be a laugh riot to hear Nancy Pelosi say "the floor goes to the Nookyuler Congressman from Cattleprod"?
But people are as people does, and they will do little needling things like threaten to subpoena the attorney general for actions he undertook that were perfectly legal and routine.
Of all the things they could keelhaul him for, they pick this!
It's harrassment, plain and simple. And while I don't condone partisanship - because I really do believe fundamentally that most opinions have value in any debate - I fully understand why they're doing it.
I have a neighbor who calls the cops every time I park past the time printed on the sign in front of my house. She does this because she reads my blog and she doesn't like it one bit. She says I "make fun of Republicans" (which I never do. I make fun of red-handed criminals, hypocrites and basic silliness no matter what pary any of it hails from.) Nonetheless, she's within her rights to do what she's doing, so consequently, I'm more careful about how I park my car. No skin off my back.
In this spirit, the president should be more careful about how he says his opposition party's name, because they're calling the cops, and now he's getting tickets too. Uttering -ic at the end of Democrat would be no skin off his back, but he won't do it. Collegiality, cooperation, uniter-not-a-divider-be damned.
And you say I'm partisan? Hah.
I'm a simple farm boy recently off the turnip truck compared to these guys.

oh, and thanks Milo. The only thing wrong with being a blue state yankee is that, well... the Yankees use the name too.
Let's go Metropolitans!

Who is Ann Coulter? That's a good question. The Post calls her a beautiful, brainy statuesque blonde. I think she's tall, hatchet-faced and stupid.
Like any good whore, she whispers sweet venom into the ears of the people whose pockets she wishes to pick.
So, to summarize, she's a beautiful, tall, hatchet-faced, statuesque blonde whore with money-magnet sweet talk for conventioneers.

And ren, how in heaven's name did so much radiation get from Indian Point all the way to Great Kills Park on Staten Island? Bet it was those strontium-eating fish they didn't catch what brought it there!
