Why liberals are not hyprocrits - by Ann Coulter

So, if I understand Coulter's argument, she's saying liberals don't have the same moral standards as conservatives, and therefore can not be called "hypocrites" when they're not doing what the conservative morals want them to do ?

Wow, what an impressive statement

As others said in this thread, there are numerous ways for liberals to be hypocrites, when they indulge in a behaviour opposite to their morality.

Just imagine the current white champion of anti-racism happens to belong to an all-white country club. Despite this behaviour not being condemned by the conservatives, they'll call him "hypocrite" in a matter of seconds. And he'll be likely dropped by his party if it becomes clear the scnadal can't be avoided.

I don't think Ann's point was that liberals have different morals. She was not that generous.

BTW, clearly liberals have "values." They value equality, for example. But is that the same as having morals?

Also, just because liberals are against racism does not mean that conservatives are in favor. This is one value both sides share in common, although a charge of racism is one of the quickest to be brought by the defamation-prone left.

In regards to point 15 of your diatribe..

It's also the impurities in cut heroin that cause the majority of infections/damages that you associate with addicts. Things like brick-dust and unsterlised talcuum can cause blood clots and potentially fatal infections.

Pure Heroin itself is safer than most over-the counter drugs, with the only major side-effect being constipation. It's safer to take a double-dose of heroin than a double-dose of paracetemol. One gives you liver failure, the other makes you drowzy and blocked up below.

Ann Coulter is a columnist and a writer. She has been strongly criticizing liberals for their lack of morals and their anti-Americanism. She does this in language which is completely unusual from the normally mild-manner Republicans. She uses the same harsh language the Democrats have long used to describe Republicans. She has turned the tables on them and they hate her for it.

in other words, she has sunken to their level, become as base as the worst liberal critic of conservatives.

she claims to stand for morality, when in essence, she is no different from them in her manner of attack.

that's why.

Duh. And she's making a living doing it. She goes home and laughs herself to sleep every night. I'm sure of it...

look, it's disgusting when you see newt gingrich (i did like him before) castigating bill clinton for not being faithful to hillary--only to divorce his own wife because she found out about the affair he was having.

if you take potshots at someone else's morality, be prepared for the worst when you yourself end up doing the same exact things.

ann coulter's one valid point is that because democrats by and large don't take morality potshots at republicans, they're not hypocritical in that regard.

she herself, however, uses disgusting rhetoric to make her points. in her book slander, she repeatedly uses slanderous remarks against liberals, defending it only by saying, on page 21, that "there are substantive arguments contained in conservative name-calling." nope, sorry. ad hominem attacks are disgusting no matter which side they come from, be it left or right. and for her to showcase liberal ad hominem attacks by using her own ad hominem attacks--hypocrisy.

that's why i don't like her. that's why i despise her. if she wrote her columns without that vitriol, i'd have no problem reading it--it's too bad, really, that she's just as vacuously hostile as michael moore.

I'm not an expert on heroin, but I've heard it's actually pretty safe albeit anytime you inject something into your veins you're running an elevated risk (especially if clean needles aren't around because the Straybow's of the world made them illegal for heroin users ). Then there's the risk of addiction of course...but that drowsiness and poking holes in the body is why I never tried the stuff. I had friends who used it and they just zonked out, not what I'd call a "high" but to each his own.
Another consequence of these impurities is the inconsistent quality, get some really cut (impure) heroin followed by very pure heroin and the risk of OD climbs. On the other hand, the author of "Naked Lunch" (Burroughs was his name I think) was a regular user for most of his adult life and he died recently at the age of 84 so it can't be as horrendous as many claim.

What I can't understand is why drug war pushers are oblivious to the fact that prohibition increases the risk of OD, then they point to OD's to indict heroin and to support their war. These people are in the habit of looking at the results of their drug war and ignoring that their war is the cause of what they see. It's like looking at the increased homicide rate and poisonings under alcohol prohibition and concluding alcohol is evil...

She was diagnosed with cancer prior to Newt dumping her too.
Many of the people on Fox News pontificate about morality and they keep inviting this scumbag on as a "Fox News contributor"?

[Berzerker]

Btw, Ann has nothing but praise for Limbaugh but she ridicules others (liberals?) with addictions. Hell, she's guilty of hypocrisy right there... I saw her on Scarborough Country last night with Alan Dershowitz and he ripped her apart for some of the BS she wrote about him and all she could do was wear a big **** eating grin the whole time he was refuting her. I don't even dislike her since I know she is just returning the favor to many liberals for their vapid demagoguery, but where she and those liberals go overboard is when they demonize the innocent with generalisations.

i'd forgotten about the whole cancer thing. shameful.

[Berzerker]

I heard he even delivered the divorce papers to her while she was in the hospital, but I don't know where to verify that since the liberal commentator who said it may be grinding his axe.
