1. Ann Coulter isn't a a man? I'm going to need to see some documentation... nt

[loli phabay]

2. why should she have to show you any documentation.

[TeamPooka]

4. It's okay, right wingers are cool with birth certificate requests nt

[loli phabay]

5. well im not when you imply that someone needs to prove their sex to you.

[Ken Burch]

8. This is a weird, special case.

There's a freakish quality about Coulter that makes such comments different than comments about anyone else of her supposed gender. It's not sexism as much as it is...monsterism.

[loli phabay]

9. no you realise that the whole gist of these comments is that she is not a female but transgender

and i agree its not sexism its bigotry but as ive seen on every Coulter thread this bigotry seems to be okay and acceptable. Kinka saddens me but i should expect it.

[Ken Burch]

22. Possibly. That wasn't my own intent or interpretation, but I respect your opinion.

The remark was "hidden&quot although, since the phrase was just used in the title of the post, they didn't technically hide it at all).

It's difficult for me to understand, though, the part of your posts where you seemed to be treating Coulter herself as some sort of a victim-whatever implications the above remark may have had towards the transgendered(and I truly don't think the poster meant any attack on them, fwiw), Coulter herself is a figure towards whom little COULD be said that could truly be unjust unfair. She's not a feminist and has never expressed(nor will she ever express)any solidarity or empathy with women or with transgendered people. She's not on your side. Why would you ever bother having HER back?

13. I disagree with you entirely.

Is Ann Coulter a monster? Yes, pretty much. But, tying that to jokes about her gender does not insult her. It insults the good transgender people who are being called "monsters" by the implication that transgender status is a monstrous thing.

That's the problem. Ann Coulter deserves to be trashed. Transgender people do not deserve to be tied to her in that way. It is that simple. I wish everyone would understand that. When you call Ann Coulter "Mann" or imply that she isn't a woman, you insult not her, but people who are transgendered.

I wish DUers would knock that off.

14. I am increasingly convinced that Annthrax is some sort

of space alien. A space alien created by outer space critters that have only a passing acquaintance with what humans actually look like. She is a seriously messed-up looking creature.

[MineralMan]

16. That is most definitely true. nt

[Ken Burch]

20. The implication isn't really that Ann is transgendered(I've never met or heard of a transgendered

person who was that choked with insane hatred and bile)as non-gendered.

It's mainly a shorthand for saying that Ann C. is utterly without humanity.

Comments about her have nothing to do with transgendered people or with any other woman.

[MineralMan]

26. Implying that she is transgendered to insult her

does indeed affect those who are transgendered. It likens them to the loathable Ann Coulter. It is using being transgendered as an insult. That is the problem.

[Ken Burch]

27. The post has been hidden.

Possibly another term needs to be used...but it will be hard to find one that isn't totally milquetoast and meaningless.

Still, on balance, I suppose we need to try.

I'd prefer to organize a "Trans Against Ann" group, though.

[Ken Burch]

7. Better that than have her show us...er...something else...

28. Wow.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. That's a fucking dumb cartoon...

I wonder if he decided to print one similar in '04 asking all the dead soldiers if they were better off than they were four years ago.

6. Brian Terry would be just as dead today if Fast and Furious had never happened

1. The two guns found at the scene of Brian Terry's death were purchased months before on the Saturday of the MLK holiday weekend. Sunday the gun shop owner faxed the info about the sale to the ATF office, and Tuesday was when the agents returned and added those guns to the Fast and Furious list. By then the guns were long gone over the border.

So if they hadn't been logged in that database, those guns (assuming one was used to kill Terry) would still have been there to be used that day.


2. Even if those specific guns could have been blocked from crossing the border, all the drug cartel people had to do was just pick up a couple of other guns. Fast and Furious logged about 2,000 weapons total. That's how many are estimated to cross the U.S./Mexican border daily.


Bottom line: it's absolutely insane to blame Fast and Furious for the death of Brian Terry. The GOP's exploitation of this family's grief is despicable.

10. That's the guy who does "The Duplex" comic strip(recognized the drawing style).

I had no idea he did political cartoons, or that he was a right-wing shitbucket.

I'll never read "The Duplex" again...not only is its creator responsible for this graphic sludge, his drawing style is pretty much a ripoff of J.C. Duffy(who does "The Fusco Brothers&quot .

[PCIntern]

11. J.C. happens to be a buddy of mine and

I have some of his (original) drawings displayed in my office on an entire wall, including the often-reprinted one of Kirk and Spock looking into the Viewscreen on the Enterprise and there's a big bottle of vitamin tablets on the screen. The caption reads: "Captain's Log: Supplemental"

Great stuff...

[Ken Burch]

18. Good for you. I discovered J.C.'s works when he came out with his "Mixed Nuts" collection

my favorite in that was a cartoon he titled "Having over-rehearsed for one's date with Yolanda"...it showed a man in a smoking jacket holding his intended conquest in his arms and saying "Your eyes are like two limping fools".

[PCIntern]

21. His website is great
