Ann Coulter: A Voice For Civility?

You know what I don't understand?  I don't understand how right wing windbag Ann Coulter can have the audacity to accuse liberals of lacking civility.  I assume she actually said this with a straight face.  The hypocrisy of this nonsensical blowhard is just astounding, dear readers. 

Before any of you point it out, I realize I am taking a very uncivil tone about Coulter; but, much like Sarah Palin, she has done nothing to warrant being treated with respect or civility.

"Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann and James Carville -- they can walk any place peacefully. No one attacks them," Coulter said Saturday in an Interview with the Daily Caller." Karl Rove can't have a book signing with these crazed women or liberals running at him. George W. Bush had to cancel an event in Europe recently. Will any former Democratic president ever have to cancel a speech because of the conservative mobs that are creating danger?"

Really, Ann?  The conservative mob that most concerns the most at this point is the Teabaggers, I mean---Tea Party, but that is a discussion for another time.  In the interim, let's review some of this acid tongued harlot's more notorious examples of her civil conduct.

Besides the incidents where she so intelligently told a college student of Arabian decent to "get on her camel and ride back home" during a question and answer session at a Canadian university a few years ago and when she civilly and politely referred to now disgraced Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, as a "little faggot", here are some of her more thoughtful, well spoken quotes from her recent history:

"Ironically, since Obama was elected, for the first time in my life I'm sometimes not proud of my country."

"Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy."

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."

"We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States."

"Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant."

"While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case, liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines American security."

Yes, Ann, your civility is certainly obvious from your tolerant, inclusive, enlightened remarks.  You certainly are a spokesperson for decorum.

Oh, and while we are on the subject, let us review the tactful titles of some of Coulter's books:

Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America (January 2009)

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans (October, 2007)

Godless: The Church of Liberalism (June 2006)

How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)(October, 2004)

Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (June 2003)

Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (June 2002)

I, for one, can certainly see that Coulter is an expert on civility since she has never used any as near as I can tell.  The frightening part is that this poster child for boorish behavior continues to worm her way onto the national stage and sell books. 

Coulter and her minions are like bullies on the playground who whine to the teacher when the target of their bullying finally gets pushed to the limit and jacks their jaws.   It's intellectually dishonest to declare certain words as "profane," while speaking as venomously as you wish, so long as you say "please" and "thank you". "F bombs" never blew anything up, but George Bush and Karl Rove certainly did. When is Coulter going to learn that she and her cohorts can't purposely incite anger without consequence?

That's how it is with Republicans and Democrats. We all take unwarranted pot shots at the other side, including me. And it's not conducive to civility. So surely, there is a point to be made for finding a way to be more civil despite our differences. But the idea of Ann Coulter as the spokesperson for civility is absurd. What a hypocrite! 

This is a woman who refers to Arabs as "a description of the suspect" and says "Canada is lucky that we allow them to exist on the same continent." Ann, we'll tone down our "uncivil" rhetoric as soon as you tone down yours. Until then, shut your mouth, please.

Peace and love, my brothers and sisters.
