Ann Coulter on Fox "News": "They (Canada) better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." Gee, this woman ought to get together with doberman! http://mediamatters.org/items/200412010011

"the sort of limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society" That proves it. She has been spending time with MS
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Jun 9 2006, 04:21 PM) [snapback]268818[/snapback]</div> Ok, there are SOME reasonable underlying arguments, but I think she does "filter" it through her "non-filter" style/character... :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Jun 9 2006, 04:21 PM) [snapback]268818[/snapback]</div> I am assuming you are referring to me above - if you are I would politely ask you to refrain from the personal attack where I can not defend myself. I find it very offensive being called a fascist - something that is very personal to me and my entire family. And let me ask you, if it were not for the US of A, where would all the Canadians go to for better economic opportunities and good healthcare? How many thousands of Canadians leave Canada every year upon graduation from college or attaining higher educational degrees?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mystery Squid @ Jun 9 2006, 04:37 PM) [snapback]268832[/snapback]</div> United States: Record budget deficit Canada: Large budget surplus U.S. Spends twice per capita what Canada spends on health care leaving millions uninsured and Americans in worse health than Canadians Canada: Respected throughout the world U.S.: hated throughout world Canada: Tolerant society, legalized gay marriage U.S Intolerant, bans gay marriage Canada: Gives refugees housing and language lessons U.S. Thows refugees in jail. Canada: Extensive system of excellent affordable education U.S. Patchwork system of education, mostly bad or extremely expensive. I could go on --- may I suggest the rightwing nutters get a passport and actually see some other countries - or would that shatter their dulusions of grandeur?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dbermanmd @ Jun 9 2006, 04:40 PM) [snapback]268835[/snapback]</div> I do apologize for that- "fascist" is a term that has a wide range of meanings, but it is a word that is used too easily and I recognize that it does conjure images of Nazism among some people, which I find horribly offensive. It was not meant it that vein. but was a comment on your extreme nationalism and vehement tirades against our neighboring country. I have revised my post. I still do find your bigotry toward Canada, as well as many of your other comments, offensive.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jared2 @ Jun 9 2006, 04:46 PM) [snapback]268839[/snapback]</div> Hey, all I'm saying is that you CAN make an agrument for some of the issues underlying her comments... Whether anyone considers them righ or wrong from whatever standpoint is a whole other issue...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Jun 9 2006, 04:52 PM) [snapback]268848[/snapback]</div> Thanks. That really is a terrible word, especially for those who touched that live wire even indirectly. I really do love Canada. I think they are an important partner and friend of the US. I took offense at how the last government treated the US - thats it - I liken it a good long time friend who turns their back on you. I have family there who loves Canada the way I love the US of A. However you view this struggle we are in with radical Islam - we must not let them divide the US and Canada - or for that matter any country on the side of individual rights and liberties. Thank you again for your apology - I appreciate it. I am sorry that at times there is such discord over differences of opinion. I think that is divisive too and only serves to weaken us. I know deep down we all want what we think is best for this great country and how we all would come to its aid if necessary. Have a nice weekend. David
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(dbermanmd @ Jun 9 2006, 04:01 PM) [snapback]268853[/snapback]</div> David, Thanks for that good post! Most of your posts are not like this one. This one seemed honest and less full of bile. I was always confused on why you hated Canada so much (well, you do like Canada after all) and you answered that. Hopefully, the tone of your posts in the future will be more like this one. Doug
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(eyeguy13 @ Jun 9 2006, 01:33 PM) [snapback]268870[/snapback]</div> Sorry to disappoint you about Canada's WONDERFUL health care system but it SUCKS..My mohter in law is a Dcotor and left there after 2o years because of the crappy Docotor's and BAD pay. Check your facts.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(larkinmj @ Jun 9 2006, 01:21 PM) [snapback]268818[/snapback]</div> Deride Coulter all you want; I for one am intensely jealous of her signal and hugely lucrative accomplishment: spewing unintelligible gibberish so that the spit shows and getting paid for it and paid attention to! I would LOVE to know how to do so little with neither talent nor wit and reap such disproportionate benefits. I can say with assurance that if I attempted to mimic Coulter, I'd get forcefully committed to the closest santorium by everyone within earshot - how can she do what she does without the same happening to her is one of the great imponderables of the universe. I wanna know her secret so I can stop working for a living! Is it that she's blonde? Mark Baird Alameda CA
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(airportkid @ Jun 9 2006, 06:19 PM) [snapback]268892[/snapback]</div> Its all about the $$. Books, speaking engagements, TV appearances. She would not exist except that the public loves to pay attention to this drivel and make a big deal about it. It's a feeding frenzy. Her marketing support has this all figured out and is capitalizing on it as much and as quickly as possible before the public's fascination with this garbage burns out. Saying this is "her" is like saying all the policy decisions are personally "Bush's". To take all this seriously is as pathetic as what she is saying in the first place.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Prizzle @ Jun 9 2006, 04:16 PM) [snapback]268914[/snapback]</div> I'm John Q. Public. I could make love to my wife or listen to Coulter I could make spaghetti or listen to Coulter I could play tennis or listen to Coulter I could go outside and watch a sunset or listen to Coulter I could go outside and watch my lawn grow or listen to Coulter I could start work on a kit birdhouse or listen to Coulter I could smash my thumb with a hammer building the damn birdhouse or listen to Coulter I could electrocute myself with the power drill working on the F&%$g birdhouse or listen to Coulter I could give up on the birdhouse and go get a root canal done without anaesthetic or listen to Coulter I could go to hell or listen to Coulter In every single instance above, I'd prefer any of it to listening to Coulter. I've got better things to do with my time. The public that gives her its attention is BADLY in need of a life.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(eyeguy13 @ Jun 9 2006, 05:33 PM) [snapback]268870[/snapback]</div> dbermanmd and I have reached a truce, and he says Canada isn't so bad after all. You see, there is hope for this world after all.
The fact that the right loves Coulter is enough to prove how insane they are. Take a closer look at her............ "That's a man baby!"
