Why Can Man Coulter Talk Trash with Immunity - Yet Dems Can't
Why can't Dems muster the same immature whining the Republicans do en mass and slam people like this skank? Why do they continue to get away with saying outrageous things, and Dems have to answer for perfectly reasonable statements? Where is the discussion the next day in the MSM? Where are the numerous polls?

Conservative Ann Coulter describes Muslims as ragheads; Senate leader ducks comment
Max Blumenthal

On Friday, February 10, the rock star of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) was none other than Ann Coulter. Before an overflow crowd of at least 1000 young right-wing activists, Coulter took her brand of performance art to new heights. Afterwards, I caught up with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to ask him about Coulter's characterization of Muslims as "ragheads." Before I reveal his response, here are a sampling of Coulter's most memorable lines.

Coulter on Muslims:

"I think our motto should be post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'" (This declaration prompted a boisterous ovation.)

Coulter on killing Bill Clinton:

(Responding to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemma) "There was one time I had a shot at Clinton. I thought 'Ann, that's not going to help your career.'"

Coulter on moderate Republicans:

"There is more dissent on a slave plantation then amongst moderates in the Republican party."

Coulter on the Holocaust:

"Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and the NY Times have made submissions."

Coulter on the Supreme Court:

"If we find out someone is going to attack the Supreme Court next week, can't we tell Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalito?"

After Coulter's speech, I approached Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in the CPAC exhibitor's hall. I asked him what he thought of Coulter's characterization 15 minutes earlier of Muslims as "ragheads."

His reply? "I wasn't there so I better not comment."

8. Dems Can, We're Just Smeared
by crackpots. That's the best of both worlds, it instantly adds credibility to whatever we say. Freedom of speech plays out only if everyone can say what they want to say, especially if repukes can say what's really on their minds.

9. Why Can Man Coulter Talk Trash with Immunity ?
Because there is this Nazi news station called er...ah.. Fox news. She should breed with Sean Hannity. Some good media outlets are afraid to ban a woman with a penus as well.
