She still works for Human Events. If Human Events doesn't at least disavow these statements I will be surprized.

I also thought of myself as a extreme opponent of political correctness. But now I am second guessing my beliefs. If comments like this don't create outrage maybe the backlash against PC has gone a little too far.
Backlash? Guys like Ty think they should be able to stop newspaper from publishing cartoons for PC reasons. What backlash are you talking about?

You're sister is not a girl, she's a woman. and they think it is cute when you show them the proper pc gender respect. anti-blasphemy is not just for the muslims.

RT, can you edit Ty's post to mitigate offense?

Who takes offense at Anne Coulter? Nobody takes anything she says seriously. She's the Howard Stern of political pundits.

I don't even read any quotes to her stuff anymore or watch her when she appears on a talk show. Its a waste of time. She angles to say the most outrageous shit possible to spur a reaction. There's no substance. Its like when I glom onto an absurd argument here just to fuck with someone...

Or 90% of what Penske wrote.

I recall that it was in a column. It was shortly after 9/11, which could be an excuse for writing something really stupid, but only if you retract or soften it later.

That makes one of you. This is her standard m.o.

Good for you. It's time for everyone to grow up.

I'm old enough to remember when "politically correct" was an insult used by people on the political left. It was directed at those who were unthinkingly, fashionably leftish. As someone put it, people who summered in the Hamptons but insisted on saying "Nicaragua" with an accent that sounded like they were gargling.

The Coulter and Limbaugh dittoheads are no better than the worst PC-folks.

I do. Not so much because it bothers me that some right-wing publicity-hound twat accuses me of "Treason". But because people who should be intelligent enough to ignore her don't, but instead parrot what she says and profess their admiration for her -- or even consider her diatribes amusing.

Club, for example, talks about "my girl, Ann."

Slave has been known to quote her affectionately, often in the heat of passion.

And Bilmore? Ann Coulter with breasts.

I'm not sure your flattery of that audience is warranted.

I find her amusing.

She's also a great ad for the Left - a car wreck of a personality with a national platform proving column after column that The Radical Right Has a Screw Loose.

Oh, don't be a scold here. There's no place where we should observe free market rules/free speech more expansively than the media. Any and every crank should be allowed to speak whatever he likes. People should be smart or dumb enough to select what information/disinformation they like and run with it to their heart's content. I know you didn't suggest curtailing free speech, but that's the inveitable solution offered to cure the problem of people like Coulter. I say, let an idiot have his podium. More comedy for the rest of us.
