More Angry Leftists
by digby
Uh oh, better tell the Beltway Quilting Bee and Ladies Circle Jerk Society that the Angry Left is at it again. One of them infiltrated the annual Republican Decency In Public Discourse Convention and reported on their confidential internal discussion. These leftist barbarians have no shame:
Before an overflow crowd of at least 1000 young right-wing activists, Coulter took her brand of performance art to new heights. Afterwards, I caught up with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to ask him about Coulter’s characterization of Muslims as “ragheads.” Before I reveal his indignant response, here are a sampling of Coulter’s most memorable lines.
Coulter on Muslims:
“I think our motto should be post-9-11, ‘raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'” (This declaration prompted a boisterous ovation.)
Coulter on killing Bill Clinton:
(Responding to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemna) “There was one time I had a shot at Clinton. I thought ‘Ann, that’s not going to help your career.'”
Coulter on moderate Republicans:
“There is more dissent on a slave plantation then amongst moderates in the Republican party.”
Coulter on the Holocaust:
“Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and the NY Times have made submissions.”
Coulter on the Supreme Court:
“If we find out someone [referring to a terrorist] is going to attack the Supreme Court next week, can’t we tell Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalito?”
After Coulter’s speech, I approached Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in the CPAC exhibitor’s hall. I asked him what he thought of Coulter’s characterization 15 minutes earlier of Muslims as “ragheads.” HIs reply? “I wasn’t there so I better not comment.”
Something’s going to have to be done about all these rude leftwing bloggers. They have no business sneaking around asking Senator Frist questions like that. Don’t these people have any manners at all?
Update: Jane finds even more grubby angry leftists pretending to be journalists. Lock your doors and hide the wimminfolk.
Update II: Kevin at Catch reports that certain right wing blogs are unhappy with Coulter’s tasteless comments. That’s surprising. They never said anything before. She’s been wowing ’em at the CPAC for years.
