I always wondered what happened to God, the night he created Ann Coulter. Was he drunk? Was he lovesick? Or, did he unleash Ann Coulter on the world as punishment, just to stroke his ever massive ego? Who the hell knows...
So, Ann Coulter was at it again. Gee, what a surprise. Ann Coulter not at a loss of words. The Conservative stick-figure joked yesterday about wanting to poison Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. Of course, Ms. Coulter didn't apology and the Right-Wing didn't send her to her room for a timeout. As we all know, in the Conservative world, if a lefty makes a joke about wanting to poison a judge, he or she is a smear merchant or murderer, but if a Right-Winger does it, it makes them okay. Talk about the intergrity, huh.
But, when I look at Ann Coulter's joke, I don't look at the joke itself. I look at what's underneath it. And, what's behind those dumb-ass comments is the complete frustration by Coulter and the rest of the Right-Wing that their vision of an America is coming fast enough.
Now, in case if you forgotten, let me just remind you a little about what the Conservative vision of America is. It's more about, oh, I don't know, rollbacking the rights of those who aren't White, Christian, and flithy rich. I.E., Women, Minorities, Gays, and the physically disabled.
This is a vision that Conservatives dream of. The only problem is, that in their eyes, Justices, Stevens, Ginsburg, and to some extent, Justice Souter, stand in the way of that vision. And, Conservatives would no doubt love it if these justices dropped dead in the middle of their briefing or at a supermarket, while picking for the right tomato.
The dream of Ronald Reagan is not far away, but folks like Ann Coulter just can't wait so long, so they make a joke about wanting to poison one of the most esteem liberal judges on the Supreme court.
The joke was a cover for her not saying, "I want that Son of a Bitch dead, and right now. All the unborn babies in America are counting on Justice Stevens death."
But, what still puzzle me is after 9/11, in a country that supposed to be United as one, why does anyone in America, including, the mass media, give Ann Coulter a platform to spread misinformation? Now, it could be for diversity, or the simple reason, ratings.
Yes, folks, morons from the Right wing=ratings. America loves it when Sean Hannity acts like a total jackass on TV. Unfortunately, though, in the post 9/11, people mistake Sean Hannity's warped view on America as fact.
There's no absoulete reason that Mass Media outlets should give platforms to sycophantic idelogues like Ann Coulter and Michael Savage. No need and no excuse for it.
And, what's troubling today is, those wingnuts who spread hate speech, and misinformation are considered Patriotic. Along with the Bush administration that sent troops in Iraq under false pretenses.
And, we, the ones who search for the truth and believe in it, are branded as Un-American pigs.
Sadly, the theme continues to run on that same river with no end in sight.
