(Or throw stones,I guess. I just wanted to give you that first visual. Wakes you up better than that terrible coffee they have in machine at the office.) :)
Anyway, who gives a flip what Ann Coulter says these days. I give as much credence to what my dog might say.
Was that in defense of Coulter, or was her naked image just too much to take? :)
The talking point has already taken hold.
TV Journalism: an oxymoron.
Otherwise she'd be defending drunk drivers and wife beaters at some podunk law firm.
Only in American can someone so vile and intellectually bankrupt can reach this type of fame, all because she has a clipped New England/Hepburnesque accent and can string a few fancy sentences together. Harriet Martineau must be rolling in her grave right now.
Would it be racist or sexist if you said your experiences as a floozy and a hizz-o give you a better understanding of how to get what you want from throwing open your legs than an Arab male might have? That would not be racist. Accurate is probably the best way to describe it.
And, I'd like to know what is NOT RACIST about saying that your "Latina-ness" makes you somehow better at being a judge!!?? Making any discriminating judgment based on race (positive or negative) IS the Very Definition fo Racism.
You all need to sharpen your intellects a tad, and start thinking for yourselves.

I'm missing the "lie" here. If she agreed that it was racist, then she called it racist.
She didn't say that race makes anyone better at being a judge, her point was in regards to cases of discrimination for race and gender. If you actually take in the context to the quote, and do a little thinking for yourself, you'll realize that's not racist at all.
Fastforward to today. Conservatives taking a single statement out of context from 10 years ago and rushing headlong to claim in less than 10 hours of Sotomayor's nomination that Sotomayor is in fact a "racist" or that her statement was "racist". Total hypocrites.
Personally, I think they're just liars. They know she's not a racist, but they are slavishly repeating the GOP talking point du jour.
They really shine the light on the closet racists.The overt racists are pretty easy to ID, by their white hoods and burning crosses.These sort of topics are better at exposing the people who just don't understand what racism is, the "polite" types who are not committed enough to join the KKK,but, deep down, know they want to hate somebody, and blame somebody for their problems.

Ann is sticking to the book. Job well done.
(And what's the deal with that Adam's apple? My friends always told me to never go home with a woman who has one. Is that because they're always Republicans?)
