(M)Ann Coulter weighs in on Cindy. Can't let Malkin hog the spotlight, eh?
CINDY SHEEHAN: COMMANDER IN GRIEF

By Ann Coulter

2 hours, 23 minutes ago

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucac/20050817/cm_ucac/cindysheehancommanderingrief

To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch. It's the strangest method of grieving I've seen since Paul Wellstone's funeral. Someone needs to teach these liberals how to mourn.

Call me old-fashioned, but a grief-stricken war mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack. After your third profile on "Entertainment Tonight," you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show.

We're sorry about Ms. Sheehan's son, but the entire nation was attacked on 9/11. This isn't about her personal loss. America has been under relentless attack from Islamic terrorists for 20 years, culminating in a devastating attack on U.S. soil on 9/11. It's not going to stop unless we fight back, annihilate Muslim fanatics, destroy their bases, eliminate their sponsors and end all their hope. A lot more mothers will be grieving if our military policy is: No one gets hurt!

Fortunately, the Constitution vests authority to make foreign policy with the president of the United States, not with this week's sad story. But liberals think that since they have been able to produce a grieving mother, the commander in chief should step aside and let Cindy Sheehan make foreign policy for the nation. As Maureen Dowd said, it's "inhumane" for Bush not "to understand that the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute." I'm not sure what "moral authority" is supposed to mean in that sentence, but if it has anything to do with Cindy Sheehan dictating America's foreign policy, then no, it is not "absolute." It's not even conditional, provisional, fleeting, theoretical or ephemeral.

1. Well, it's got all the usual Coulterisms...
"Stalinist agitprop,"..."teach these liberals...","we were attacked on 9/11..."...sounds like another ill-researched Coulter screed.

4. Cindy isn't going to dictate any policy. Cindy is simply
telling like it is. If bush wishes to go to hell, that's the way it will be.

7. It would be a shame if
someone threw a pie at her again.

A real, big shame.

I'm afraid I couldn't support the idea of someone

THROWING A PIE AT ANN COULTER.

Because THROWING A PIE AT ANN COULTER is childish and wrong.
And THROWING A PIE AT ANN COULTER is no way to conduct real political dialogue.

No, I'm afraid I just can't encourage anyone to THROW A PIE AT ANN COULTER. Really, if you stumble across Ann Coulter, the last thing you should do is THROW A PIE AT ANN COULTER.

I mean, do people agree with me that one shouldn't THROW A PIE AT ANN COULTER?

Am I wrong?

24. It was just a little while ago
that someone suggested that somebody SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE. I mean, who in their right mind would show such disrespect? Who would SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE?

I seriously can't condone a course of action that would SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE. No one, I believe, would condone a course of action that would result in someone who would SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE. I mean, I respect the woman as the freak she is, but I can't see when I'd ever SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE.

It would be horrible to SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE.
Just unconscionable. I can't imagine the type of person who would
SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE.

For gods' sake, whatever you do, don't
SPIT TOBACCO JUICE IN ANN COULTER'S FACE.

9. If Casey came back from beyond they'd have a beef with him too
Anne and rest of the think tank trained pack of well-compensated nut pickers, are nothing more than glorified high school debaters who fault-find reality to serve the monied asses being covered.

10. Who's the C- list celeb? Not the chick who couldn't hack it as a lawyer?
And look at all of those big words at the end! Wow, I hope she doesn't get Thesaurus elbow.

She doesn't quite understand politics obviously because in a democracy the people can stop a President's foreign policy at any time. He's not a dictator as she hoped...or as he hopes.

The self aggrandizing Ann Coulter and her opinions will be forgotten the moment she loses her looks (so I give her five more years). George Bush's failure will be remembered for decades to come.

23. What I don't understand is why Malkin and Ann don't get married?
these two spend time ripping each other off. I mean how much air can the news media give two people who parrot each other. How bout git off your arse and speak to real americans who either are struggling in this economy or real brave men and women who have served in Iraq and always say to a man(woman) that there are not enough troops to do what would be needed to stop men and weapons from entering the country. Or that they still don't have the armor for their vehicles or body but Halliburton is making record profits....

26. What's the idiotic constitutional argument about?
Ann's faulty logic is pretty much the same every time.

The President may be constitutionally empowered to take us to war (or may not) but all Sheehan is asking for is an explanation, not to take control.

Amazingly, Coulter sees even the acknowledgement of Sheehan's right as a citizen to ask for an explanation as a usurpation of the president's power. If she's allowed to ask, then he might be required to answer, and if he answers, we might not like it, and if we don't like it, we may withold political support, and we all know that the people failing to support the president is unconstitutional.

Moreover, she misstates the position as a military policy of "Noone gets hurt" when in fact its "noone gets hurt unless there's a reason for it." All Bush has to do is give a good reason for Iraq. Coulter repeats "we were attacked on 911" proving that she can't give one. So who can.

Apparently, the constitution means you never have to say you're sorry, or indeed, never have to hear any say you're wrong.

30. This creature has no sense of decency, does she?
To counter a few points:

"To expiate the pain of losing her firstborn son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch."

So, Cindy looks cheery to her? She doesn't look too cheery to me. I'm sure she'd give up all her agitprop to be able to hold her son in her arms again.

"It's the strangest method of grieving I've seen since Paul Wellstone's funeral. Someone needs to teach these liberals how to mourn."

Someone needs to teach Ann Coulter not to preach at other people about proper ways for them to grieve and mourn. She just might lose someone herself someday, and when she does, I seriously doubt she will appreciate lessons or lectures in proper mourning technique.

"Call me old-fashioned, but a grief-stricken war mother shouldn't have her own full-time PR flack."

Why not? Ann Coulter must have one.

"After your third profile on 'Entertainment Tonight,' you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show."

Takes one to know one. And you don't even have grief as an excuse, Ann.

"We're sorry about Ms. Sheehan's son, but the entire nation was attacked on 9/11."

And a couple of planes just went down in various countries, and a lot of people died. One fact has to do with the other because?

"This isn't about her personal loss."

Obviously not. It's all about one man and his political power, and how important it is for him to keep it at all costs. I guess.

"America has been under relentless attack from Islamic terrorists for 20 years, culminating in a devastating attack on U.S. soil on 9/11."

She still insists on connecting the dots where there were none, doesn't she?

"It's not going to stop unless we fight back, annihilate Muslim fanatics, destroy their bases, eliminate their sponsors and end all their hope. A lot more mothers will be grieving if our military policy is: No one gets hurt!"

She forgot the part where we "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Oh well, at least Part 1 we can tick off the list.

"Fortunately, the Constitution vests authority to make foreign policy with the president of the United States, not with this week's sad story."

Hmm. The Constitution, if I recall it right, also invests only Congress with the power to declare war. What happened? :shrug:

"But liberals think that since they have been able to produce a grieving mother,"

The "liberals" didn't "produce" her. She produced herself. And gosh, that would've been completely impossible had her son not died. No dead soldier, no grieving mother. That simple!

"the commander in chief should step aside and let Cindy Sheehan make foreign policy for the nation."

Hmm, that's not what I'm hearing them say. I'm hearing them say she has a right to express her opinion and have him hear her out, even if he gets a photo op and the appearance of actually giving a damn out of it. But he won't even do THAT. Speaks for itself.

"As Maureen Dowd said, it's 'inhumane' for Bush not 'to understand that the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute.' I'm not sure what 'moral authority' is supposed to mean in that sentence,"

Doesn't surprise me. Ann Coulter probably hasn't had much contact with moral authority and thus would not understand what it is supposed to mean in ANY sentence.

"but if it has anything to do with Cindy Sheehan dictating America's foreign policy, then no, it is not 'absolute.' It's not even conditional, provisional, fleeting, theoretical or ephemeral."

Well, I guess if we open people's mouths wide enough and cram things into them that they did not say for long enough, we can get some people to believe us, can't we? But others will not be fooled.

Give it up, Ann. You have no moral authority here, and you definitely have no sense of human empathy. But then again, since when is that anything new?

32. Excellent......
Coulter has mastered the art of stating crap in such a way that her
facistic idiot admirers are impressed. But as you have shown, her
"logic" is non-existant.

Maureen Dowd is right. The Right attacking Sheehan will backfire on them.
All they would have to do is say "I feel for her loss, but I disagree with
her" and they would at least come off as decent human beings. They
reveal their true nature by their slime, and they are so stuck in attack
mode they can't seem to stop. They have lost all sense of decency.
