Can I b*tchslap Ann Coulter: Her OpEd piece dissing Max Cleland

Seriously, this woman still defends Bush's "war" record even though Bush refuses to release all his records.

I'm not one to read Ann Coulter slop finding it not even worthy enough to line the litter box of my Cat Abbie, but I couldn't sleep and I was browsing around the web and stumbled upon this piece of trash.

Coulter's remarks about Max Cleland losing 2 legs and an arm in Vietnam:

Cleland lost three limbs in an accident during a routine noncombat mission where he was about to drink beer with friends. He saw a grenade on the ground and picked it up. He could have done that at Fort Dix. In fact, Cleland could have dropped a grenade on his foot as a National Guardsman –- or what Cleland sneeringly calls "weekend warriors." Luckily for Cleland's political career and current pomposity about Bush, he happened to do it while in Vietnam.

Geez you freak-of-nature bleach blonde bimbo sheman a grenade is a grenade is a grenade and whether he found the ground while in the trenches of Vietnam or 'Heading off for a Beer', Max Cleland made the greatest sacrifice in order to save others. I suppose it would have been better if Max just walked on his merry way to get a beer and let others DIE from that grenade.

On why Bush didn't insist on going to Vietnam in 1973:

Cleland also expressed outrage that Bush left the National Guard nine months early in 1973 to go to Harvard Business School. On "Hardball," Cleland testily remarked: "I just know a whole lot of veterans who would have loved to have worked things out with the military and adjusted their tour of duty." (Cleland already knows one -- Al Gore!)

When Bush left the National Guard in 1973 to go to business school, the war was over. It might as well have been 1986. Presidents Kennedy and Johnson had already lost the war, and President Nixon had ended it with the Paris peace accords in January. If Bush had demanded active combat, there was no war to send him to.

Now maybe I'm no scholar when it comes to the Vietnam war; I'm sure there are thousands of folks who could ramble off dates and facts about the end of Vietnam. But please correct me if I'm wrong but we pulled out of Vietnam in 1975 and we had soldiers dying in that country up until and even after we had pulled out. And btw GORE WAS IN VIETNAM. Sure he got special privledges because he was the son of a senator but at least he went and served his time.

I should know better than to read this crap from Ann Coulter, but her insults of Max Cleland should NOT be ignore. I know she writes this crap to cater to 2 groups: To drive the rabid rightwing freepers into a frenzy and to piss off progressive thinkers like myself. That's why I can't be bothered with her crap. I regret going there and reading it but if I ever run into that sheman....no, I won't stoop down to her level, I'm too classy for that.

2. NO matter how much in denial-- even the RW has to know what an

insane and incredible figure she has become.... Let her spew... It very likely helps us in the long run...


Of course, if you see her in person, perhaps just a few rotten eggs would be in order? :evilgrin:

3. No, we need to make sure everyone...

sees this lastest can of worms spewing from her mouth. She needs to have her internet persona yanked out of cyberspace and publically denounced!
