I liked her brutal frankness. She spoke her mind. No doubt about it. Can't say I agreed with everything she said, but she said what she felt and wasn't afraid to.

I agree, she speaks her mind as others who oppose her do. That is what makes this country awesome. I am willing to listen to any comments one way or the other about her but usually those who are against her just take the cloak and spew the same slag in return that got them pissed at her to begin with. :eek:

I'm certainly not her target audience. I'm not wasting a cent on any of the trash she puts out.

Matrixxx · Feb 8, 2005, 08:44 pm

You are well versed on what she does, what she says, right? Maybe you don't "buy" her books but you certainly are an audience.

ericsp23 · Feb 8, 2005, 08:46 pm

Very well, if you want to quibble over semantics I suppose I am.

That doesn't invalidate anyting I've said.

I wasn't attempting to "validate" or "invalidate" anything you said, that is your job. So far all I have seen is you complain about her slagging, then you slag her. It's nice to vent I suppose but you haven't "validated" anything yet.

ericsp23 · Feb 8, 2005, 08:57 pm

I've only stated my opinion as to what I believe her true motives are. If you disagree feel free to debate with me the validitiy of my criticism. Just tell me how you think I am wrong.
Otherwise, I'm not going to waste my time.

Matrixxx · Feb 8, 2005, 08:59 pm

Looking at it as a bystander all I see is your loathing. There is nothing wrong with doing that per se, but you haven't said anything to "debate" about, and that is "my" opinion. You aren't going to change your mind, are you? Of course not.

You can do whatever you want, otherwise.

Nah, I like the way she talks. I think she sounds like she has more balls than many the girlie men politicians who purport to run this country at our (i.e. taxpayer's) expense.

You like the way she talks? then you must obviously like the way Mussolini talked, as very obvious parallels can be drawn.

You’re not a fascist are you, because from reading that drivel, Clouter certainly is?!?

I'm not sure Hitler spoke his mind (Say, how come you're so sure?).

Which proves you have yet too read Mein Kampf, Hitler said exactly what he was going too do. Of course he did lie, but he also spoke his mind on occasion.

What he lied about consistently was his parties ideology.

Well, I did tell you she has more balls than most men didn't I?

Unfortunately she has considerably less brains.

It is a real pity, because stupidity (unlike ignorance) cannot be cured.

Coulter's great, like the Eminem of the political commentary world. So is Michael Moore. They make politics interesting for us, give us fodder to feed on and get our juices flowing. We need a little controversy to piss us off and give us the motivation to go proove these flamboyant wackos wrong.

Merlin writes....I agree Fushigi, except for the wackO detail. I respect the alternative and non politically correct thinkers among us. In religions, I admire the snake handling Christians of the local "holy Rollers churches," not so much for their interpretation of scripture but for their faith. I admire histories great alternative thinking weirdoes, because they have the gonads to be a NO, as opposed to a yes man/woman. We truly need new solutions to old problems. The old, safe, inflexible way of thinking is like investing.

Yes, low risk stocks etc are a relatively secure, and sure thing, but one will not get much of a return on the investment, compared to a high risk strategy. Take a few risks and live.

If I wanted extreamist political views, I would by rage Against the machine records and read Ayn Rand.

Rage Against the Machine make me laugh and Rand makes me sleep.
