No Shame?

October 11, 2007

Filed under Politics, Splashes

The GOP is falling apart because the people who think this have gained too much power and are pushing sensible people away.

I believe Ann Coulter is exceptionally gifted as a thinker and communicator

Truly unbelievable. I knew too many of them thought it, but to actually admit to it in public…

    Dolphin, while I agree with you on the asininity of the statement, consider the source. (I mean, if it’s from the blog I think it’s from.) If the ability to reason logically was a scissors, and the ability to recognize the difference between insult and argument was a sandwich, that guy would still die of starvation stuck inside a paper bag, you know? And while there are those in positions of power in the Republican Party who share the second fault, they mostly don’t share the first: given their premises, their conclusions are logical. And Coulter to them is a useful distractor, nothing more. She may parrot the talking points they hand her, but they don’t trust her to make policy.

    No, I’m not ashamed, dolphin; and it’s a little difficult to believe you’re wringing your hands over the potential of the GOP falling apart.

    nm, that’s a difficult metaphor to follow, but I get your gist. And you obviously don’t read much of Coulter if you think she “parrot[s] the talking points” of “those in positions of power in the Republican Party.”
