A quick google search found plenty of examples from right-wing sites wishing the demise of Michael Moore. Of course, most of them can't be linked to because the language they also contain violates community standards. (In fact, I think the post that talked about Ann's demise got admin'd already, even sans the bad language, no?) <And as for a "blinkered" worldview Dabob, I suggest you have a chat with your friend Passholder. > I'm not Passholder. And physician, heal thyself.
Originally Posted By Eric Paddon Nope, because then I'd be interested in knowing if Passholder is still rating Ann speaking her mind as to a fundamental truth is somehow still exceeded by those who beat their spouses, or who get drunk and run down children with their cars, or who embezzle money, or falsely quoting a soldier to ascribe political beliefs to him that the soldier didn't hold..... You see, the standards of Passholder even with "one of the lowest forms" would still provide an amusing insight into the standards of the liberal mind.

There was nothing to stop you from posting a link, or maybe that would have revealed how what you were allegedly citing was not a representative example of mainstream conservatism?

For all the things I have to say about Al Franken, I can at least note that if I'm going to use the descriptive term of worst form of human behavior, I'll save it for the people who commit murder and acts of terror. In the meantime, way to go Ann!
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <There was nothing to stop you from posting a link, or maybe that would have revealed how what you were allegedly citing was not a representative example of mainstream conservatism? > Yes there was. Community standards prohibit links to vulgar language, etc., which I found in abundance. And again, you do not get to define what constitutes a "conservative website" which was all I said to begin with. Bottom line is this: it's amazing to me that a couple of people here, unlike many conservative columnists or public figures, can not stand to call a spade a spade when it comes to Coulter. They called her vile speech vile, even if they agreed with the underlying sentiment.

Originally Posted By Eric Paddon And I refuse to let you define what constitutes a right-wing site, Dabob. I gave a list of the most respected names of conservative thought on the Internet, which are the sites that mainstream conservatives go to and rely on. You were challenged to name just one example, which only required you to name the source without reprinting the link. I suspect all we needed to do is see the name to realize how it wouldn't have passed the smell test to justify the idea that somehow there has been an equal counterpart from conservative ranks regarding Michael Moore to match the hatred and vitriol spewed at Ann Coulter.
