From Redstate. Amazing. Although, as usual, they're being extremely bipolar as usual.
Ann Coulter's Big, Ugly, Selfish Mouth
Ann Coulter's remarks at CPAC were crass and bigoted, and she dropped them into her schtick so that she could end with a bang and get some cheap publicity at the expense of everyone at CPAC. She succeeded beyond her wildest expectations: she became front-page news at the New York Times and she's raising money for John Edwards hand over fist. Moreover, she was instrumental in whipping up the moonbat base, who acted just as everyone expected they would and rolled on over here to RedState to denounce us as Nazis and dump their vats of profane sewage all over the place.
So all of us, in other words, are having to work overtime to try to undo what Ann Coulter said. I support the calls for a shunning. Some people I respect are defending her and are shunning the shunning. Other people are trying to forget it ever happened. And our Editors and poor Clayton are having to deal with the trolling.
And that's one of the other problems with having a loose cannon like Ann Coulter endorsing your candidates at your premiere conference: you can't count on her not to think exclusively of herself and hurt everyone else in the process. How much did CPAC pay to have Coulter speak? Is Coulter going to write a check to all of us to help pay for the wasted time over her scurrilous remarks?
Perhaps the worst thing Coulter did with her bigoted tongue, though, was to hand the Democrats yet another free pass, over a weekend when the stories should have gone completely in the other direction. This weekend, if Ann had just found a way to exit the stage without going off like a female suicide bomber, it would have been the Donks falling over themselves to explain their insanity to Middle America. We had Bill Maher saying that he's sorry Cheney wasn't killed in Afghanistan. We had the revelation that Wellesley succumbed to pressure (and lies!) from the Clinton White House to seal Hillary's undergraduate thesis on Saul Alinsky. We had the crackpot from the Huffington Post telling everyone about how he likes Republican women but thinks everyone at CPAC is a chickenhawk. And there was more.
But all of it got swamped by Ann Coulter and her ridiculous 10 seconds of self-promotion. By dragging us down to their rhetorical level at CPAC, Coulter gave everyone in the Donk Universe another free pass and another chance to Pass Go and Collect $200

HAH! I love it. It was easy to cradle the Blonde Harpy in a manger for so many years, as long as Repubs were in power.
But now, with Bush wishing he had Jimmy Carter's 1979 poll numbers, Repubs out of power, no guarantees of a 2008 victory, and Rush Limbaugh's lampoon of Michael J. Fox, still fresh in their minds, the freepers are beginning to see the costs inherent in raising such a demanding child.
Sorry guys, disown her all you want, but there will be no trips to Maury. This baby's all yours. Sow the wind, Reap The Whirlwind. (Hosea 8:7)
Just like...oh, the Iraq war. It seems to be dawning on you that "Dems have no solution on Iraq." isn't really going to cut the mustard. Especially not where 2008 is concerned. GWB and Cheney is the stumbling block. If we get in office we'll end the war. End of story. If a GOPer wins...you'll...what?
See, the problem is you've been exemplary parents. You've nutured Ann and her ilk well. You've brought them up nice and strong. You know what they say about kids -- they've got some nice lung power.
And the Iraq War? You were so proud of it in August of 2006! You presented it to the world, all stout and shiny and rugged, chests swelling with pride!
And now look. You're disputing paternity. Trying to write the buggers out of your will. Leaving them out on the street.
And here you are the party of "Family Values."
Or is that going to get discarded as well?
