Are we really at a point where WHATEVER someone says, no matter how pathetic, gets cheers, if it only is aimed at the political opponent? It's plain sad that such a person even gets a platform for her attention-whoring! ELANO!

Ann Coulter is like a Bill Maher.....she says outrageous things and tries to be offensive. She is basically a comedian. The only difference is liberals get mad at Coulter because she goes after subjects that it is not politically correct to talk about: Muslims, gays, Barack Obama, etc
Why is it OK to mock conservatives, white people, Christians, Republicans, etc but not other groups?

Bill Maher is nothing like this cunt. He actually uses this crazy thing called logic and has solid points to back up his arguments. This bitch is just a shit starter with no substance to anything she says. I mean shit, joking is fine, but when you try to act all high and mighty like you have all the answers you should also have a little reasoning behind the shit you say.

They're appealing to the people that still see issues in black and white. I'm sorry, but even in that Coren interview (just saw the first 15 min) she was just giving the typical arguments you have in fucking High School Government class which clearly hit a chord for the base of the Republican Party.

Was the first 15 minutes the 9/11 widows stuff? What was wrong with it?

Nope, didn't get to that. She was comparing the logic of defending pro choice to defending people that kill doctors. Shit 8th graders say.

Well to be fair she was making a joke using that logic. She shows very little compassion on screen but I don't think she actually enjoys that those doctors were killed. The main concern with the abortion issue was the public funding and that I completely agree with. I understand the idea that we cannot force a woman to stay pregnant when we cannot provide an alternative but to make everyday people contribute to something like abortion with their tax dollars is going too far.

Not saying she enjoys it, but she wasn't joking. She's dissing the logic of pro choice by saying that it's the same thing as not worrying about people that have killed doctors.

"I don't really like to think of it as murder, it was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester"
That was the joke. But what she said to back it up is not wrong. Maybe you learned it in an 8th grade class but that doesn't make it less right. If you believe that a fetus is human then you believe that abortion is murder, and just because the law and the general consensus does not feel the same way doesn't change any of that. In China plenty used to throw female babies off the cliff because of the 1 child law. A new born was not seen as a full human being by much of the Chinese, but anyone that looks at it from the outside would call it utter murder.
In Canada you are allowed to come to the Canadian Government at 8 months pregnant and say I want an abortion and you don't need a reason. No Canadian doctors will perform one so the Canadian tax dollars will pay for your trip to the US and George Tiller before he was shot would perform it and the Canadian Government would pay him too. That's the rule up here.
Now, you tell me the difference between having Tiller abort the fetus at 8 months and throwing a 2 days old girl off a cliff as it pertains to murder. What's the difference between finding out at 6 months your baby has down syndrome and pressing abort and killing the baby after it's born because you can't take care of a down syndrome baby?
I don't care that the general rule is most abortions are early stage fetuses. In Tiller's case he performed late term abortions that most doctors wouldn't do. George Tiller killed babies that could have at that moment been delivered and lived on their own. And for that I have no problem at a joke about his murder.
And I guarantee one thing; society in a few hundred years will look back on our stance on abortion like we look at the barbarians of the middle ages. Especially once ecto-genesis technologies are in place where the mother doesn't even have to take it to term.
