    If she seemed to regret it, this thread wouldn't be six pages and her buzz would drop. I'm just giving the other side of this debate. I do see Franken as mean though and believe that he would see no problem with physical violence against a political opponent.


    Him challenging someone to a duel, while completely ridiculous, is much more admirable than defaming people and spreading outright lies. Franken might get his goofy ass handed to him and we'd all get a laugh.

    Coulter is not simply a joke. Many people will listen to her and laugh, but there are those who idolize her. She is a seriously confused individual, and I maintain that she would bennefit from therapy.

    I have seen the same kind of worship for Franken on this board.

    That is unfortunate.

    But, are you suggesting that wrongfulness is dismissed by complimentary wrongfulness?

    I didn't hadn't read the first link before. Also, I didn't see too much worship but there was support.

    And the second link seemed to be saying the same things we've been saying in this thread.

    Also, I view support for Coulters rantings to be more much serious because the stuff Franken pulls is quite mild in comparison.

    Not in the slightest. I'm saying that the political slant of the majority of this board is made up of blind hatred for the opponent.

    I was referring to the opening post in the second thread. Both were more just cited for singular posts.

    They both set very bad examples. Childishly threatening physical violence in public is just as bad as using a bad word.

    If only it were as simple as Ann saying a bad word then you'd have a point.

    Social Polarization

    We'd all be better if we could ignore it and resist it's effect on ourselves, lest we become polarized. Sadly, such a thing may be too improbable to ever become a reality.

    explain...

    if you want to know why i want you to explain then i'll offer you the reason i ask you to explain...i think, at least, with you, that it goes a little farther than just "disagreeing with someone".

    My opinion of Coulter has little to do with her political opinions, but rather her bigotry and hatred.

    Maybe Ann is really a robot... programmed to spout extreme conservatism

    I don't think Franken and Coulter compare all that much. It's all in the delivery. Franken can at least act and he often portrays to that effect. Coulter's slant, at least to my observation, is not even supposed to be interpreted as acting.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't hate anyone. Anything I've said in jest should be irrelevant because anyone here that knows me knows I joke around a lot and don't mean any of it. If you choose to see it different then that's you're right. But I've never supported the use of hate in any form of seriousness.

    We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war.
