Top Nuts
Nut of the Week: Ann 'the man' Coulter
Let's face it, if we used empirical criteria to award our coveted 'Nut of the Week', Ann 'the man' would have to win at least three times a month. Crazy Ann's high blather combines distortion, lies, and venom in a manner that is both high profile and psychotic. As Al Franken and many others have noted, there's definitely something wrong with her. But as long as the right wing media machine and Republican party treat Crazy Ann like a legitimate journalist, we feel that it is our patriotic duty to make fun of her.
Here's some of her select rantings from recent weeks:
Liberals keep rolling out a scrolling series of attacks on Gannon for their Two Minutes Hate, but all their other charges against him fall apart after three seconds of scrutiny. Gannon's only offense is that he may be gay. (anncoulter.com).
Ann, Ann, Ann. It's not because he's gay or used a fake name. I think you may even know this. It's because he was given a White House press pass. The fact the this media whore turned out to be a gay prostitute just makes it funny.
Any day now, Matthews will devote entire shows to exposing Larry Zeigler, Gerald Riviera and Michael Weiner — aka Larry King, Geraldo Rivera and Matthews' former MSNBC colleague Michael Savage. As a newspaper reporter, Wolf Blitzer has written under the names Ze'ev Blitzer and Ze'ev Barak. The greatest essayist of modern times was Eric Blair, aka George Orwell. The worst essayist of modern times is "TRB" of The New Republic. Air America radio host and "Nanny" impersonator "Randi Rhodes" goes by a fake name, and she won't even tell people what her real last name is. (She says for "privacy reasons." That name must be a real doozy.) As nsideradio.com describes Rhodes , she refuses "to withhold anything from her listeners" and says conservatives "are less likely to share such things." How about sharing your name, Randi? We promise not to laugh. Democrats in Congress actually demanded that an independent prosecutor investigate how Gannon got into White House press conferences while writing under an invented name. How did Gary Hartpence, Billy Blythe and John Kohn (Gary Hart, Bill Clinton and John Kerry) run for president under invented names? Admittedly, these men were not reporters for the prestigious "Talon News" service; they were merely Democrats running for president. (anncoulter.com).
Democrats tried working out their frustrations on blacks for a while, but someone — I can't remember who, but it probably wasn't Sen. Robert Byrd — must have finally told them it really wasn't helping to keep disparaging every single black person in a position of authority in this Republican administration. So now liberals are lashing out at the gays. (anncoulter.com).
Assorted Nuts & The Usual Suspects
That American opinion leaders may have been siding with Arab terrorists may seem like startling news to many in Middle America, but nothing new to those of us who have been studying the way the press and the Democratic Party has been operating over the past three years. (Joe Scarborough, “Democrats Starting to Look for a Survival Strategy,” Congressman Joe Blog, 3/8/05).
Yes. And what we're really looking at here is the frozen tundra. Isn't one of the major reasons that liberals don't want us to drill in this frozen tundra is because they're concerned about the mating habits of the porcupine caribou? (Sean Hannity, “Interview with Interior Secretary Gale Norton,” Hannity & Colmes, 3/09/05).
If we had not had as many abortions in this country, if as many American babies had not been killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn't need all these immigrants to come into the country to replace the US birth rate and therefore we would have more workers paying Social Security taxes, and there would be less of a crisis. (Rush Limbaugh, “Connecting Dots on Social Security,” Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/10/05).
How much more explicit could the Court be in affirming the shifting, baseless standards of moral relativism? Quite a far cry, is it not, from a constitutional and legal system grounded in the absolute standards emanating from the Judeo-Christian ethic? (New Age Supreme Court NewsMax, David Limbaugh, March 3, 2005).
The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were the real heroes of the 2004 election. We at the www.StopHillaryPAC.com want to do the same thing to Hillary. (We Must Fight Hillary, NewsMax John LeBoutillier, March 6, 2005).
The time is fast approaching when many people who are living in ignorance with no knowledge of their Creator will be graced by faith in the impending post-atheist world. (Atheism Worldwide in Decline, Insight Magazine, Uwe Siemon-Netto, March 1, 2005).
