On another note, Fox News thinks all homosexuals speak with a lisp:
source (http://mediamatters.org/items/200703060009)
Fox's Hill on Clinton's "Southern drawl": "If she was attending, say, a GLAAD convention, would she speak with a lisp?"
On the March 6 edition of Fox News Live, while discussing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (D-NY) March 4 speech and her participation in a commemorative civil rights march in Selma, Alabama, host E.D. Hill accused Clinton of affecting a "Southern drawl" during her speech and asked pollster Scott Rasmussen: "[W]ould it happen elsewhere, if she was attending, say, a GLAAD [Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation] convention, would she speak with a lisp?" Hill continued: "If she were attending a Hispanic convention, would she speak with a Spanish accent? Or if she were attending an African-American convention, would she start throwing out phrases -- you know 'Homies, here I am'?"

Done. I love a good PC foot stamping.

Aw shes just a media junkie. She'd run down broadway with lights on her boobs if it would get her any press time.
Not worth the time to even talk about her. She's nothing. She knows it.

I don't think Ann should have used the term she used, but is she any worse than the dimwits that have been calling conservatives names on daily basis for the past ten years. You know, Bill Maher, Keith Ober(i took my brain out and cant find it)heimer on Msnbc, carville, paul begalla, mollyivins, clooney, sean pean, katie couric, everyone at NY times and on and on. But no one ever condemns their hate speech, only when a conservative has a clusterfuck do we hear the calls for throwing away "freedom of speech". Like I said earlier,hypofuckingcrites.

So Grinch and Jack we can count on your support on this one right?
You guys did say how opposed you were to what she did. Time to put up or shut up on this one.

'Cuz I live in SA I can't say anything according to the form.

You're equating the use of the word "faggot" with other words? It's rather a unique word -- like "nigger" (excuse me using that! but I want to make the point) -- it's the same thing. Exactly the same thing. Jack, you seem completely at ease with homosexuals on the board and I find that comforting coming from a straight man who lives in Texas, but please understand that the use of this word is very, very loaded and offensive to I'd say 100% of homosexuals. It's NOT just a "playground taunt" as Ann feebly tried to say on Faux News last night.
Please don't swallow the current GOP talking points on this inexcusable use of this word by a major television pundit just because Ann Coulter is a well-known and (I can't understand why) popular conservative figure. This type of extreme vitriol is what is infesting domestic politics, and yes there is much on the left too which I abhor. But in this case, and with this particular word, the situation is completely unique. I should tell you that there are MANY prominent conservative bloggers today signing up to condemn what she did. It's sad that folks like Sean Hannity can NEVER EVER admit any wrong doing on your side -- really, there are better folks to get your information from if you are a REAL conservative and not one of these faux nouveau Bush conservatives.

Keep up sending that electronic letter that I linked to in the first posting. It seems to be working:
source (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003554574)
At least two more daily newspapers -- The Oakland Press of Michigan and The Mountain Press of Sevierville, Tenn. -- have dropped Ann Coulter's column. A daily in Pennsylvania had dropped the column two days ago.
ps: I will be away for about five days and I don't know how much I'll be on a computer. Anyone else interested in following the downfall of Queen Ann please feel free to add developments such as this to the thread.
http://americablog.blogspot.com/ seems to be keeping up with this topic quite well if you are interested.
I'm really adamant that the use on television and print of these sort of extreme hacks like Ann Coulter, hired as legitimate political pundits, has quickly lowered the quality of policy discourse in the United States and is a big reason many in the electorate are just fed up with it all. She's an obnoxious gas bag and simply never shuts up. There may be a few like her on the left, but please point them out and I'm sure you'll see they have no where the level of exposure that Ann does, and additionally I'm sure Ann's about 100 times more toxic than any pundit on the left. She needs to be put out to pasture. Quickly.

Philly you are wasting your time with Jake. You will receive nothing but convoluted logic and more of the same specious arguments he's famous for. He will give you a glancing diss of Coulter before laying the real blame at the feet of libs/dems. He could care less what you our anyone else feels about the use of the word faggot or nigger. You can ask him all you like but you will never receive an answer, just typical right-wing spin. It took me a long time but yesterday I learned my lesson... and today will be the last day I ever respond to anymore of Jake's infantile flame baiting. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Philly,
In regards to jake... this sums it up.

The use of the word "faggot" isnt a hate crime, as I understand it, unless its followed up by rocks and punches and so becomes a physical assault. So...I think thats why people think the word is ok...just saying. No excuse for Ann to use it.

Bear, it's not a hate crime because we (homosexuals and homosexual lesbians, for Penguin ;) ) are not a protected class. It sometimes becomes a hate crime when there's a crime committed, such as a physical assault or an aggravated assault. I say sometimes because some states still don't recognize crimes against 'sexual orientation' as hate crimes.

David....
Thanks for that.
Not protected ?...guess I need to gird my loins when venturing into AIDSMEDS...huh.

I've been on other boards (non-AIDS related) of a political nature and dealt with the likes of Jack in other forms. They're always the same, and seemingly read off the GOP talking points that are faxed from the Washington Times, Newsmax and Powerline each day. They're not the most creative thinkers, that is for sure.
In some way I hope Ann continues to dig her grave. That type of political vitriol she routinely relies on to sell books also causes even more people to be QUITE wary of the hardcore conservative movement. At heart they are extremists, and extremists never win in American politics.
-
She's just a desperate, media whore windbag. Half the things she says are just to get a rise out of people. I can't be bothered with even protesting her.

the likes of Jack
Just to prove what kind of perverse world we live in (and what just what kind of contrary bastard I really am) I'm going to launch a defence of Jakey.
Well not of his political views. Like everybody else here (save for our 5 or so resident neo-cons) I consider the political Jakey to be like some twisted cross dressing version of Michelle Malkin. Just with better legs.
But outside of that, I have to tell you mob that I'm intensely fond of that cranky texan misanthrope. For real. The J-Dog is in my top ten favourite people around here. Whenever I've been ill or out of sorts, one of the first people to send me a reassuring and comforting PM, is Jake.
Despite all his fascist bluster, he really is a good bloke. And I know that there are other Old Guard AIDSMEDers who would agree with me 100%. They just probably wouldn't say so publicly.

I don't have any beef with Jack. Any man who owns standard poodles can't be all bad! ;D

Done!!! ;D ;D ;D
And thanks for providing the link, I was wondering when the letter writing would begin. As an interesting aside, I tried to check her websites and got the same message repeatedly. That the web page was unable to be displayed. Dare I hope that so many people have sent her hate mail that the fucking bitch ran away? I don't see her backing down, but it would be hysterical if she did. BTW, does she really still have her penis? If she gets any more butch/masculine, I might even start getting turned on ;) ;)

I agree with Matty 100% about Jake. I certainly don't agree with his political viewpoints, but he has been nothing but supportive and caring to me, and I value his friendship. Like Matty says, Jake is the first one to pm me with support when I'm down, and I appreciate it.

I just want to know Jake's astrological sign. Alan, do you have a birth date? :-X

Jakey was not born, he was forged from iron. I believe the moon was in the house of the Cranky Old Elephant that day.

And anyone that knows me knows that I feel the same way. Attack his points all we like, but don't attack the person. He (as far as I've seen) doesnt generally attack the PERSON but the view and opinions.
Besides all that.

Found on blog on Craigs List... Dunno if it's true, but worth a chuckle regardless.
"If you are familiar with Cpl. Matt Sanchez, you probably know him as the handsome 36-year old Columbia University junior and USMC reservist who recently made the rounds of right-wing talk shows like O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, where he received praise for coming forward and complaining about his treatment at the hands of Columbia's "radical anti-military students" who called him names and mocked his military service. Sanchez was then feted at the CPAC conference where Ann Coulter made her "faggot" remark. Sanchez wrote an op-ed piece on the Columbia experience for the NY Post and began a blog and MySpace page chronicling his media exposure.
Now, if you're like me, you might think, "Hmm, 36 years old and he's a junior in college and only a corporal in the Marines?" Odd, but not totally implausible. But Sanchez' face tinkled a few gay bells out there in fairyland, and last night I began to get emails letting me know that his rather late appearance on the Ivy League scene was because Sanchez has had a lengthy career in gay porn, working under the names Rod Majors (NSFW) and Pierre LaBranche, starring in such art films as Jawbreaker, Donkey Dick, and Glory Holes Of Fame 3, where his "11-inch uncut monster cock" earned him a devoted following.
Now, porn stars are entitled to enter the miliary, although Sanchez obviously had to do it on the downlow. Porn stars are entitled to have a right-wing ideology, even though the very people he supports would love to see gay porn stars strung up by the nuts. (Wait, have I seen that movie?) But, Oh.The.Irony. of Sanchez appearing with Bill O'Reilly who only a couple of days went apoplectic over San Francisco's "Colt Studio Day." And OH, the irony of Ann "Faggot" Coulter happily posing with Sanchez for a photo-op. The right-wing has gobbled this porn hunk up with a spoon, never knowing that tons of men have gobbled up his monster cock ON FILM. I love it, I love it, I love it."

Like Philly says, other boards also have their conservative gadflys and Jake is ours. I think we're the lucky ones. Jake is an original who has been here since the beginning. If you think he is some sort of backward- thinking hack now, you should have heard him 3 years ago. He's changed a lot.
Like Mtd and Andrew and Alan have said, when push comes to shove, Jake is ready to stand by us.
And, like MtD also says, he's one of us. I wouldn't want it any other way.

By the way, here is a story (http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/09/MNGF9OID9J1.DTL) from today's SF Chronicle (front page) about all the feedback about the "lady's" gaffe.

This is a letter explaining why Ann Colters recent comments where she used the word faggot is worse even that using the word "nigger." Her use of the word faggot is like saying, "lynch the nigger" in one word, or "murder the chink", in one word, it is an insightment to violence AND a slur. It is an insightment to murder.
Here is the dictonary definition and Etymology of the word:
faggot is the derivation associated directly with the meaning "bundle of sticks for burning", since homosexuals were burnt at the stake in medieval England. This, punishment for homosexuality in England, according to one source, those accused of homosexual acts** were sometimes doused in fuel and used in place of sticks for the burning of supposed witches.
Her statement also echos the words of millions of serial killers and gay bashers and gay bashers who murder... many who used this word moments before murdering gays and unspeakable violence. (like cutting of the genitals and putting them in victims mouth or chopping off the head and putting it under the bathroom sink which recently happened)
** those accused of .. notice that like the republicans today they killed with just an accused status not even with a trial or tribunal, sounds like gitmo and gonzalas justice.
