Unrequested rant

[sabotabby]

If you've never seen Jewish World Review, you're missing a real treat. Don't let the name fool you. It has very little to do with Judaism. (Unless Ann Coulter has converted. She hasn't, has she?) I haven't done a scientific study, but a brief glance at the names of the columns reveals that there are significantly more articles about Muslims--sorry, Islamo-Fascists--than there are about Jews. It features such illustrious writers as Daniel "Racial Profiling Is Your Friend" Pipes, David "Axis of Evil" Frum (poor Barbara is rolling in her grave!) and Alan "My Book's Primary Source Is A Proven Fraud" Dershowitz*. And Coulter, who I saw on the fifth estate last night claiming that Canada once sent troops to fight in the Vietnam War. Sure we did, Ann.**

There are some really great articles on this site. Most of them are either about some Threat to Our Freedom or about how The Palestinians Don't Exist. Julia Gorin, for example, tells us all about how living conditions in Manhattan are worse than those in Palestinian refugee camps.

These articles aren't easy to read. I suspect that they're strung together using macros in Microsoft Word. You keep seeing the same words and phrases crop up. I mean, this is the dumping ground for the dregs of neoconservative bollocks. But the best of all, and the article that led me to the site, is about the most dangerous Threat to Our Freedom out there. And you'll never guess what it is.

Rather than try to describe it (because that would be hard, since I'm alternating between giggling and wanting to vomit), I'll link you to zingerella's post about it, since she's the one who showed it to me in the first place. Go forth and read!

A perfidious threat to society revealed

* One of LJ's spell checker's suggested spellings of Dershowitz is "twit." Hee!
** If you're interested in actually seeing this, check out Sticks and Stones on CBC Newsworld tonight. It's fucking hilarious.

David "Axis of Evil" Frum (poor Barbara is rolling in her grave!)

Barbara never was the left-lib that so many want to paint her as.

- YG, waxing nostalgic, for his geeky memory of listening to As It Happens when he was 13 years old.

Fair enough, but I doubt she sleeps easy knowing that she gave birth to such a monsterous creature.

[ed-rex.livejournal.com]

You're right - she had a few axes to grind, maybe, but she was neither as stupid nor as fundamentally dishonest as her son.

Ann Coulter / Laura Schlesinger, what's the difference?

I can't kick people out of the Tribe fast enough. It's unjust, I tell you.

I imagine the Quakers felt the same way about Nixon.

[mcsokrates.livejournal.com]

Nixon was raised as an Evangelical Quaker, which is much more like mainstream Protestantism than Orthodox Unprogrammed Quakerism. Evangelicals are actually roughly as conservative in terms of Politics and Theology as Methodists or Lutherans.

Of course, there is Janeane Garofalo's theory that Ann Coulter is really Andy Kaufman. She is convinced that Kaufman faked his death and got plastic surgery.

My contention is that she is a performance artist. I contend that she is, indeed, Andy Kaufman.

To support this contention, Aaron McGruder has pointed out that Ann Coulter has a rather large Adam's Apple.

[sabotabby]

I knew she was in drag. Proof positive.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

Which may mean that this is also Ann Coulter's blog.

Ann Coulter is tricky. Some Canadians did serve in Vietnam - in the US Army. So technically, Canada did send troops to Veitnam..... of sorts.

Then again, you're lucky Ann Coulter lets you stay on the same continent as us 'Merkins.

[sabotabby]

By that logic, Canada also sent troops to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Technically.

She said that America might roll over and crush us! Is she making a dig at how overweight Americans are?

[mcsokrates.livejournal.com]

you really think she's smart enough to pick upon her own subtext?

[sabotabby]

Speaking of which, lookie-lookie what I found!

She SO was a man.
