Ann Coulter TOTALLY screws up.

[Archae]

I mean, Eisenhower and Nimitz were "Confederate officers?" :crazy:

1. I think she should change her gender back.

[noamnety]

7. transphobic (nt)

[originalpckelly]

10. Yeah, I know, he needs to leave those Trans Ams alone.

22. Another post of yours to point to whenever you cry bigot.

[jgraz]

2. What the hell are you doing in GD posting about freaking Ann Coulter?

Dude, get your ass over to the lounge and help me taunt some Giants fans!!

[ThoughtCriminal]

3. Several screw ups

She claims that the North treated the South with respect after the war. How many neo-confederate Republicans would agree with that.

She says that the battle flag was never flown over Confederate government buildings. I don't know if that is true (and how likely is it that she would ever say something historically correct?), but if this is true and flying the flag is a "Heritage" issue. Why fly it over government buildings now?

[liberaltrucker]

5. The Stars and Bars was flown over CSA Government buildings

NOT the Confederate Battle Flag. Unfortunately, (M)Ann was
correct on that one. DAMN, I hate to admit that! :puke:

[alfredo]

6. Hoisting the Confederate Flag over the courthouse is a challenge

against our nation. It is an aggressive act, an act of treachery.

They say it is "heritage" and it is. It is a heritage of violent rebellion against America.

9. As a Liberal, I agree 100%

As a Southerner, the issue is a bit more complex.

Southerners are the only Americans to suffer military
defeat in a war. Yes, the cause was totally wrong from
our contemporary perspective. But, many, if not most native
Southerners of both Races lost family members in that war.

General Joseph Johnston is a direct ancestor of mine. Am I
proud? Yes. Do I agree with the cause for which he fought?
Hell NO! So, you see the quandary liberal Southerners face.

[alfredo]

12. I'm a southerner too.

[liberaltrucker]

14. I was born and raised in Alabama

Specifically, Walker County. You?

I'm not trying to start a flame war, just establishing
bona fides. I'm a bona fide liberal, bordering on socialist,
if not Communist. But I also respect my ancestors, however wrong
they were. If not for them, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

20. From Shively Kentucky. Used to play in John Hunt Morgan's cave,

raised chickens, cut, housed, and stripped tobacco. Knew how to make a pipe out of corncob and grapevine by the time I was ten. Used to dig sassafras for the little old ladies in the neighborhood. I was deadly with a slingshot. Any dog that got too interested in our chickens got a surprise.

I was mostly commenting on the neo confederates. They should know better. They are manipulating those whose only claim is that they are not black. The neo confederates use them but won't do shit to help them out of poverty.

19. One point:

By most accounts, we lost Vietnam (I know there's a worthwhile argument...) so southerners wouldn't be the only Americans to be defeated.

Just nitpicking.

[Johonny]

18. bahahahaha

I agree. The solid South that voted against the Party of Lincoln for 100 years was clearly a sign that the feels of the civil war in America died quickly.

[spanone]

4. like most republicons she talks out of her ass

[Xipe Totec]

8. But Nimitz WAS a Confederate officer!

That's why the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, to liberate the Japanese.

Don't you read history? :shrug:

[Boojatta]

11. It's a well-known fact that Nimitz was an officer in the Confederate army.

He and his twin brother Nimzo joined the Confederate army as strategic consultants. They brought in some of their Indian friends and developed the Nimitz-Nimzo-Indian Defense. It is now commonly abbreviated as just the Nimzo-Indian Defense, but Nimitz deserves a significant amount of credit for the idea. It's a strategy/tactic used not only in warfare, but also in chess.

21. You need a sarcasta-thingie for the humor impaired (nt)

[juajen]

13. I think she was stoned.

Honest, I do.

[gateley]

15. I think she should BE stoned.

Honest, I do.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. The Civil War was brilliant? And it's over?

Oh wow how stupid! :rofl:

[muntrv]

17. Coulter's from Connecticut and went to Cornell, not exactly confederate material.

The big dog is more Southerner than coultergeist.

[LynnTheDem]

23. And the Canadian military fought in 'Nam.

Ann Coulter; just another deeply stupid MFing rightwingnut.
