Serious question about colterqeist

[OwnedByFerrets]

Why hasn't she been charged with a crime? With all the things she has said about sending wmd's to the NYT's, what is keeping her from being charged with terrorism threats? I am sure that I would be, if I were saying those things.

1. Because she's one of them?

2. Didn't you get the memo?

A statement that would be considered a terroristic threat -- a felony in most states -- isn't a crime if made by a right-winger. If you are Annthrax Coulter or DildO'Reilly or Rush Limpballs you can advocate poisoning Supreme Court justices, blowing up the New York Times and executing its editors, calling for terrorists to attack an American city, or any other act of violence against people you don't agree with. It's just fine. Their civic duty, actually. Protecting real 'Merkins from Terra.

3. Because she's a fictional character and not a real pundit.

Every time we talk about her, she makes more money. She's fucking irrelevant.

4. I am sorry to disagree,

but she is not irrelevant when she is suggesting terrorist activities. How irrelevant will it be if someone deluded rightwing wacko believes he is doing gods will and acts upon her suggestions. I think she should be charged with conspiring to commit terrorist acts.

8. She's about as relevant as any other rambling lunatic.

That is, not at all.

5. Because neo-conservatives can say anything they want.

And they never get called on it.

Meanwhile a Democrat says something true, wets his pants when republicans complain about it, and then apologizes.

6. Because she's one of many demons sent up from Hell by Satan himself...

...to live among us disguised as right-wing pundits. Their mission is to hasten the Apocalypse, thus allowing the Devil to return to earth and have dominion over it.

In fact, everything the Neocons have said and done makes perfect sense when you realize that Bush, his administration and his supporters are, in fact, the Antichrist!

7. She hasn't committed a crime. She just blathers

and that is free speech no matter how hateful it is. Now if she were under oath to uphold the Consitution, like the members of the Executive Office and said things like that, they should be held to the standards of Constitutional law but apparently they aren't either.

However, Ann isn't as big a criminal as they are and she is a lawyer and she knows what she can get away with. As long as people give her credibility by booking her on TV, buying her books and in general giving her attention, she will push the envelope as long as the money tree is good to her.
