POPSRepublicans: Crazy, Or Nuts?
Who in their right mind would argue with the observations in this article? More: "The Republican Party has become an aggregation of people who prefer to live in a world of fantasy -- and their first fantasy, the Ur-myth on which the entire conceit rests, is (classically) "we are the realists." "It degrades, into farce and Newspeak, from there. The perpetrators and defenders of the outing of a CIA agent are "patriots." Tom DeLay is a "leader" and Newt Gingrich is a "visionary." The President plays guitar while New Orleans drowns, causes a hundred thousand Americans and Iraqis to be killed or injured, and outsources torture, and it's the Democrats who, per the repellent Ramesh Ponnuru, are the "party of death." "It has gotten so that you have to muster all the compassion and understanding of which you are capable just to think of the Republicans as a party of greedy corporatists manipulating the credulous, the provincial, and the bigoted. That's the nice way of putting it.”

POPSSermon on the Mount - borrowed/derivative/plagiarized ???
"Christians often associate parables exclusively with Jesus and believe that he invented a new method of teaching. But anyone familiar with the Talmud will recognize Jesus' parables as the common form of rabbinic expression in the Second Temple period. Jesus was a trained rabbi who thought like a rabbi, taught like a rabbi, and spoke like a rabbi. "Jesus instructs us to love our enemies, it is based on the biblical precedent of Exodus 23: 'If you meet your enemy's ox or your enemy's ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. "Jesus famously says: "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." This pronouncement is actually a classic rabbinic statement. "Ann Coulter's stomach-turning comments about how Jews "needed to be perfected" by becoming Christian demonstrates not only her own bigotry but her abysmal ignorance of the teachings of Jesus. Judaism was the faith practiced by Jesus for his entire life, and from which he never wavered."

POPSAnn Coulter Reveals Herself To Be An Anti-Semitic Bigot Giving her a platform to sell books with the knowledge that she is a racist, bigoted anti-semite who could very well spout reprehensible and offensive garbage like this anytime she is on the air is at best stupid and at worst unprincipled. Her noxious words can only encourage white supremacists and Nazis and the people should let network executives know this. This country has a strange sense of what's indecent and obscene; we deny condoms to drug addicts and execute teenagers but allow despicable pieces of garbage like Coulter to thrive.

POPSAre People Finally Starting to Smarten Up When It Comes to Coulter? Three papers so far are dropping her, and I understand she is beginning to lose invitations to speak to certain groups. Could this be the beginning of the end for this sick-o? This is the same thing that happened to "Dr." Laura. She went from being the be all and end all of conservative talk on hundreds of radio stations, and was given her own TV show. Then, because of her gay slander and hate-speech, her column was dropped from many papers, her TV show canceled, and her radio show is heard on only a fraction of the stations it used to be on in her hey day. As the old saying goes....every do has his/her day.

POPSGOP Candidates finally speak out against Ann Coulter Some of the GOP candidates finally speak out against Ann Coulter's hate speech but only after some main stream media, many blogs and several GLBT groups have already denounced her. I guess they were hoping we didn't notice their usual tactic of Fear, Lies, Hate and Prejudice.

POPSChase Away The Ugly Hatred "I have always been able to separate the ordinary Americans from the government. Tonight was the first time that the two became inseparable. For the first time in 21 years I witnessed hate in America – and what an ugly spectacle. Thankfully, I was rescued by that America that I cherish. As I was leaving, I saw more protestors. I joined them and we started chanting. Rabbis, priests, and practicing Moslems were among many who held signs reading: “Thanks Ann, you have united Moslems, Jews, and Christians”. She had. Tonight, as I review the hateful words spoken, the reaction of some in the college that I still love, the signs, the unity, and the warm embrace of the rabbi will chase away the ugly hatred of Ann Coulter and her clan."

POPSThoughts on Coulter: are mean people richer? One of Wise Bread's writers points out that the nastier Ann Coulter is, the more money she makes. Would that work for the rest of us? As the YouTube video shows, the CPAC audience sure loved her "faggot" comment (www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxgVuB3TyaU)

POPSAnn Coulter...what a comedian Coulter is such a funny girl. I just love her ability to be funny. What a card! Gee, she is such a nice person. I just wish the Democrats had such a fine representative of their values. Maybe we can get her to speak at one of our affairs.
