The attack, name calling style began with Lee Atwater, who before he died admitted he created a monster. Ann Coulter is just one of many. By reading this blog you will see the effectiveness of the it. There are plenty of people who love the juvenile name calling because it makes simpler for them. I'm right your wrong; I'm the "Real American".
The continuing villian is the media that feeds off this for audience share. Selling this stupidity as as intelligent politicial discourse. Don't feed the monster, change channels, don't buy the books and for God's Sake challenge the stupidity.
A bright spot, when the Democrats take office in 2008 as expected a lot of the current media buffoons will be out because the new administration won't talk to them.

my fav is ann saying she didnt think it would help if she signed up for the war her with a little gun,nice insult to the women who serve and die or are injured maybe oriely and hannit and rush with thier little guns tough talk for someone putting someones ass on the line to fight for thier rights and freedom.Shame on them but they feel nne or they would be the first in line to fight this threat that is so immenent.Maybe its not the threat they make it out to be ,but if they can keep talking people in to fighting for them,even though they do not fight anyone but fellow americans who disagree but tey are easier targets than the bad guys

I wonder if Coulter kisses her mother with that mouth.

Joe, North Korea has bent nearly back as far as where they were when Bill Clinton left office...but they have a stockpile of nuclear weapons.  Iran is a bigger influence in the Middle East than ever.  Iraq in civil war, Palestine in flames, Lebanon on the precipice.  We've run headlong toward an abyss of world chaos at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of lives.  That's another view of what happened because we went into Iraq.

Lugar,never one of my favorites,is yet seeing the writing on the wall in a manner that has thus far escaped both still-supporting voices of the administration as well as its detractors. Clearly,the man is agonizing over a path that will not lead to victory in the end of this ''round one''[the war in Iraq]. Lugar thus sees this writing as a ''in-out-in'' strategy which will eventually neccecitate even further military force down the line. Here is why.
                       The leftwinged Joe Conason,writing in todays liberal New York Observer,Dick Morris as well in todays centrist THE HILL,and the liberal Brookings Institute in its newest Iraq White Paper, all miss the point.[a point instantly grasped by Lugar and others including this poster].The idea by Conason,Brookings,Murtha,Pelosi[who will be the nascent co-leaders of American foreign policy under a Democrat presidency should America have to endure their own re-elections],that will continue to pin their reputations on an already forlorn hope. That is, in the event of our retreat from Iraq, American forces placed in a ''neighboring friendly country''[Brookings,Conason,Pelosi,Murtha, Clinton  et al],will be in a position to protect Iraqi domestic and regional affairs using military force from a safe distance.This is as mad a scheme as purporting to observe that we would be greeted as ''liberators''in Iraq to begin with as there will be no ''friendly nations''in the region from where we can offer regional security in the wake of our retreat from Iraq.
                     Lugars ''round two'', thus presents itself as, rather than being trapped between competing Islamic forces in only Iraq, we will be thus trapped between these competitors in an entire continental region. bin Ladens philosophies will have been completely vindicated and no place will be safe.Millions more Islamics,seeing the US on the run,will flock under his banner to repeat the Iraq recipe in other nations. All Islamic ''moderates''will fall by the sword. Jordan,Saudi Arabia,and Egypt[who can also see this writing on the wall. As we speak,they are falling in behind HAMAS, not that this will save them in the end], will have as much chance of survival as a snow-cone in Dantes Fifth Circle.Emboldened Syria will move to digest Lebanon which will re-erupt into civil war. Here is where Lugar sees what nearly all do not. That we will have to go back in with even greater force [Gingrichs WWIV],in order to stop the toppling of these nations into the hands of the bin Ladenists and even the Shia Ayatollahs.
             The BELMONT CLUB's Richard Fernandez,one of the best conservative intellectuals in the nation today[while living himself in Australia],brilliantly sees where it all goes. The minority Republicans,with their heightened sense of patriotism-through military action,''will support the liberals war through gritted teeth'',but will nonetheless support it as the Just War principle will reassert itself as a result of quickly spreading destabilization across the Middle East,Africa,and into Asia.Herein lay ''round two''of the continuation of the Iraq War,fought on a more global stage.
                      All Lugar is laying down is the ''beyond Bush''strategy.Lugar is no peacenik in and of himself.He readily sees that the Bush doctrine has been fraught with disastrous consequences but is equally horrified at the prospect of leftist influences dictating American foreign and military affairs at the moment when the bin-Laden-rung bell for ''round two''goes off.[Lugar, already having witnessed the new round of debate among the Democrats whereby American troops would be pulled from Afghanistan as well,to be replaced by ''an international force''[as if there is not one there already.This is as insane as happily hoping that the US can turn Kuwait or the Emirates into a super-base on a nationwide scale in order to deal with the Shia-Sunni threat,and of course,will drive the final nail into the coffin of those who claim that we are ''not serious about getting bin Laden'',under the present administration].Lugar will be one of several bi-partisan ''realists'' who will give in to neither ideological wing and who will not eschew using force,especially as the threat continues to grow in the wake of the US retreat from Iraq.

HEY GEORGE, NOW YOU LISTEN TO DICK !

Chris in lala land,the terrorists have taken over our nation and they weild power from 1600 Penn Ave. They have a nice war to keep their defense industry buddies rolling in dough and blame the Dems for 9/11 and Osama. They had until 2006 a spineless rubber stamp congress of their gop cronies to march in step to their terrorist agenda. Just like any extremists they didn't question the justice dept, homeland security, kickbacks from lobbyists, the loss of our constitutional rights or listen to the call for reason. They have (as they see it a God given right)  to cleanse the world and our nation of those who don't agree with them. Right now they're working on Iraq, Iran,and the Demoncratic Party. Just wait until they start work on Calif., it should make you proud to see them go after immigrants, gays, actors, writers, producors, and just plain liberal people who want to see peace in our lives. I can just see you brusting with pride at this scene. Live well and remember only the GOP has our protection and rights at heart or is it at their wallets,refineries, tanks, planes, warships, or I guess you know the rest.

Chris, you've had way over your limit of draft beers. The room must be spinning and organic brain injury has set in. Time to sign up for the Army son!! They'll take you just as you are. You can fight the evil bad guys and send them all to hell!! Ah, no never mind, go have another drink boy.
