AMERICAN WOMEN TO KERRY: WE DON'T THINK YOU'RE SO HOT
Thu May 8

By Ann Coulter

Sen. John F. Kerry has been citing his valorous Vietnam record more often than Gen. George Patton cursed. It's a good theme for him. With Bush rounding up al-Qaida and clearing out the terrorist swamps, the greatest danger now facing the nation is that liberals could somehow return to the White House. Whenever America is threatened from outside, Republicans have a lock on the Oval Office. No matter how secure the world seems, after 9/11 you have to vote for the better man on national defense. That is always the Republican.

Moreover, as long as liberals keep loudly proclaiming that they support "the troops" -- while simultaneously running sneering articles that portray the troops as coarse, semiliterate cads -- a tax-and-spend Massachusetts Democrat like Kerry could finally provide them with one "troop" they really do like. (Meanwhile, for the first time ever, I find myself in favor of the war but against the troop.)

Consequently, Kerry has been aggressively brandishing his military service with the bristling connotation that if you didn't fight, you can't quarrel with him on war and peace. Kerry got into a catfight with former Vermont governor Howard Dean during the Democrats' first presidential debate in South Carolina last weekend. The high point was when Kerry snarled at Dean, "I don't need any lectures in courage from Howard Dean." If John Kerry had a dollar for every time he bragged about serving in Vietnam -- oh wait, he does.

Though Kerry makes liberal ladies' bosoms heave with his self-advertisements about his Vietnam experience, the Democrats might not want to let Kerry pursue this particular line of argument. According to Thomas Ricks' book "Making the Corps," the vast majority of officers currently serving in the military are conservative Republicans -- "largely comfortable with the views of Rush Limbaugh."

....

As long as we're going to get self-righteous, why is John Kerry allowed to have an opinion about taxes? He has spent his entire life marrying a succession of heiresses and living off the fortunes amassed by other men. It must be the luck of the pseudo-Irish. How can Kerry claim to understand the anguish of people who pay high taxes? What does this pompous, whining, morally superior, mincing habitue of Boston drawing rooms know about confiscatory taxes on hard-earned money? (Not that his nuptial path to wealth is not also hard-earned.)

If Kerry doesn't need to be lectured on the military by Howard Dean, do the rest of us need to be lectured by this sponge on how much we should be willing to pay in taxes? What is this male Anna Nicole Smith's expertise in average people paying taxes? I don't have a rich wife supporting me. And I don't look French.

http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20030516/capt.1053107210.kerry_healthcare_iaad105.jpg

There was a firestorm of indignation when an unnamed Bush adviser recently remarked to The New York Times that Kerry "looks French." Up until five minutes ago, the entire Kerry family used adjectives like "European" as statements of the highest praise.

Kerry's sister cited her brother's cultured refinement in a 1994 profile of Kerry in the Rhode Islander Magazine by saying: "Our parents felt deeply that we needed to absorb the culture and know the Europeans as friends." In his 1996 Senate campaign, reporters were dazzled and awed when Kerry responded to a Canadian reporter in French, snootily noting that Kerry's French was much better than his opponent's.

In a profile of Kerry's current heiress wife, Teresa Heinz, in the upcoming issue of Elle magazine, noted journalist Lisa DePaulo quotes Kerry oozing with admiration for his wife, saying she is "very earthy, sexy, European." "Earthy" and "European" appear to be euphemisms for hairy armpits and body odor. But we get it. American girls aren't good enough for Frenchy. We don't think he's so hot either.

Even after Kerry was attacked for looking French, Heinz thought the best course would be to defend her husband by haughtily snipping that the Bush aides "probably don't even speak French." Take that, you boorish Americans! If the Democrats nominate Kerry, Bush should take the high road and pledge not to raise the issue of his opponent looking French. But on the basis of Kerry's own logic, the question of his fitness to discuss taxes while living off rich women is still on the table.

HAHAHA!!

Okay, I edited out some of the article.

Woah, Ann! You're almost... psychic. At this same time a week ago one of those stodgy Britisish institute of stratetigic studies (or whatever it's called) claimed Al Qaeda was expanding operations and plotting evil. What a difference a few days make!

No matter how secure the world seems, after 9/11 you have to vote for the better man on national defense. That is always the Republican.

On which issue -- any issue -- does Coulter believe any Democrat to be better than any Republican?

Bleh.

She is so biased and one-sided that there is no value to be derived from reading her rants.

Why does she even mention Kerry's marriage and personal life? How would you react to someone going on a tear at Laura Bush? Probably you would say it is irrelevant. I know someone said that about Bush's daughters in a recent thread.

Bush daughter accepts Rolling Stones tickets as a "gift" from her Secret Service detail, who were not acting in theori official capacities but instead gave them as individuals, out of the goodness of their hearts.

I don't see this so much as a scandal as just a bunch of 40-year-old agents trying to crash a concert for free. "You see, guys, if we all pitch in for two concert tickets, then all of us agents get to see the Stones from wherever we want: front-row, backstage, anywhere. These badges are really 'all-access backstage passes.'"

So first it's a big hoopla that Clinton dodged the draft, and now it's a big hoopla that Kerry actually served his country? Some people will just never be happy I guess.

Ah, John Kerry, an honorable veteran, is "bad" because he works the other side of the aisle in his current position? Thus Genghis Knight reveals his priorities: applaud the blatant and proven liar-dissembler Colter over a fellow warrior ... why? I guess it's because he's now, somehow, not one of "us," so go get 'em, Ann baby! So much for honor among comrades.

This, of course, is SOP for the image makers determined to portray our equally (to Mr. Kerry) to-the-manor-born Mr. Bush as just a reg'lar, good ol' boy. Karl Rove surely knows that such image-enhancement techniques as flag-waving photo ops serve to feed the Hollywoodized masses craving to believe that THE PRESIDENT (ta-da!) is surely John Wayne incarnate, ready to lead the charge and ... Oh wait, didn't John Wayne do everything in his power to avoid service in WWII?

What would be nice, though it's about as likely as my waking up next to Marg Helgenberger, is for political parties to engage in thoughtful, reasoned debate without resorting to prevarication, exaggeration, and opponent demonization. Maybe I'm crazy, but if one's position is correct, it should stand on its own merits.

It's regretful to see that (as we witnessed in the previous presidential election) the rabid right is ready to run to the storehouse and load up from its never-ending stockpiles of complete and utter nonsense. Great big booms which they will detonate with glee. But no harm, right? After all, everybody loves them fireworks extravaganzas. Kinda like Chinese sparklers silhouetting the French Statue of Liberty. Whether the show is American or un-American, well, why should that be important?

Don't forget Woodrow Wilson in WW1. For being labeled as pansy peace-niks, Democrats sure did a lot of ass kicking in the 20th century, starting every major war we were involved in.

Reg- have you seen this article in the NYT "Keepers of Bush image lift stagecraft to new heights" (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/16/politics/16IMAG.html?pagewanted=all&position=) ?

This goes along with that ridiculous flight suit stunt:

On Tuesday, at a speech promoting his economic plan in Indianapolis, White House aides went so far as to ask people in the crowd behind Mr. Bush to take off their ties, WISH-TV in Indianapolis reported, so they would look more like the ordinary folk the president said would benefit from his tax cut.

"They understand the visual as well as anybody ever has," said Michael K. Deaver, Ronald Reagan's chief image maker. "They watched what we did, they watched the mistakes of Bush I, they watched how Clinton kind of stumbled into it, and they've taken it to an art form."


...

For the prime-time television address that Mr. Bush delivered to the nation on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House rented three barges of giant Musco lights, the kind used to illuminate sports stadiums and rock concerts, sent them across New York Harbor, tethered them in the water around the base of the Statue of Liberty and then blasted them upward to illuminate all 305 feet of America's symbol of freedom. It was the ultimate patriotic backdrop for Mr. Bush, who spoke from Ellis Island.

For a speech that Mr. Bush delivered last summer at Mount Rushmore, the White House positioned the best platform for television crews off to one side, not head on as other White Houses have done, so that the cameras caught Mr. Bush in profile, his face perfectly aligned with the four presidents carved in stone.

and on and on....

Anyone who agrees with Coulter in any broad sense is a stupid, ignorant bigot.

Just a minor nitpick, but most of those wars were well under way before America got involved.

Michael Moore must be in heaven right now. He's getting more attention from the right than I'm sure he ever thought was possible. It seems any right vs. left debate eventually ends up talking about Moore in one way or another.

Again, I ask why you felt the need to bring it up.

Does any thread involving any nasty person have to be responded to by listing the vast amount of ignorant, hateful liars out there? This thread is about Ann Coulter. I can only assume, now, that you feel that you must defend the conservatives by bringing up an equally stupid liberal.
