When you feel that way about Michael Moore, let me know.

club is smart enough to know that both Mikey Moore and Coulter helped W get elected. Don't be surprised if the GOP is behind the scenes distributor for his next movie.

Is there something funny about calling people "ragheads" that I'm not getting?

It is the DU equivalent of "dumya". that seems to be standard fare to cause a crack-up over there.

Yes. Bigots of every variety are exceptionally funny to watch in action. Perhaps that's cheap laughter, since I don't fall into any groups frequently targeted by them... But nevertheless, watching a bigot make an ass of himself is funny. I've seen it up close, when someone gets really drunk and says something really bigoted and the whole conversation. just. stops. Those moments when you think to yourself "What an ass... that person did not just say something so neanderthal, did he?" can actually be very funny.

Maybe I have a warped sense of humor, but I don't think so. Shit... Chappelle made a fortune exploiting how absurd bigots sound.

Your wife tells me that it was my ability to affect those moments that first attracted her to me.

I won't defend Coulter generally, but let's examine what Spanky takes issue with:

The "offense to Islam" ruse is merely an excuse for Muslims to revert to their default mode: rioting and setting things on fire. These people have a serious anger management problem.

If we put the word "many" before "Muslims," is this really disputable?

So it's not exactly a scoop that Muslims are engaging in violence. A front-page story would be "Offended Muslims Remain Calm."

Same.

Bombing Syria back to the stone age .

Indefensible, unless viewed as hyperbole and general call to arms against Syria, which is completely understandable.

Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that's offensive. How about "camel jockey"? What? Now what'd I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?

I don't even understand why she thinks "jihad monkey" is offensive. I could attach any so-called offensive word to "jihad" and it would not be nearly as offensive as the idea of "jihad," i.e. holy war, i.e killing over a religious idea. I would almost sanction the assassination of any so-called religious leader who calls for a "jihad." One could view it as unprotected speech because it incites to riot or is hate speech. Calling anyone who calls for "jihad" a "tent merchant" pales in comparison.

Do you know if it is offensive to refer to "camel schtupping" when referencing sex with camels? Should be camel-lovemaking?

Fair point, but I find MM far more sleazy (probably because he's more effective).

Yes - I find most descriptive derogatory phrases funny.
