Ann Coulter Finally Finds Herself A Bogeyman Responsible For Middle Eastern ViolenceSurprise- It's the free press!
The unhinged lunatic anorexic dye-job icon of the Rippups (AKA: Republican harpy Ann Coulter) rants away at Newsweek for apparently boiling up the anti-Americanism in Muslim countries.
Her recent minute of babbling, titled, 'NEWSWEEK DISSEMBLED, MUSLIMS DISMEMBERED!' is a prime exhibit in the case against letting unintelligent extremists pen essays. Her key argument is thus: Newsweek should have buried the stories about Guantanamo interrogators flushing Korans down the toilet, because in the 1990's (get this) Newsweek didn't rush to publish stories about Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinski.
You can almost trace Ann's hysterical domino theory of American hatred of all the way back to Hillary, who just couldn't keep Bill under control, therefore forcing Newsweek to get in the habit of burying "scoops of the decade" (as Ann calls them), which led to the habit of publishing false stories, that, even if true, should have been buried, "...to protect the national interest."
I won't detail the unforgivably lengthy list of atrocities from our War on Terror that truly bears the real responsibility for enraging the Muslim world. That is already nicely covered in Slate's article entitled, "Abuse Week". Simply put, with beatings, murder, mental abuse, and dog attacks under our belt, why would anybody try to suggest that Koran-flushing is the critical evil deed?
For that matter, who really believes that it didn't happen? Our interrogators will gag prisoners with duct tape, plan to nearly suffocate them with water torture, but "Woah, now! - Don't touch that Koran book; let's show some respect, celebrate diversity!"
Right.
Along the yellow brick road of fantasy that Coulter lays, she mentions that we shouldn't believe a word that the Arab news agency al-Jazeera publishes. Forget the fact that nearly every message from Bin Laden comes through them; maybe we can just ignore the fact that he's still free. Why believe anything they broadcast? After all, Ann states that al-Jazeera, "...runs viewer comments about Jews being descended from ...apes."
Is she trying to argue that anybody who backs evolutionary theory can't be trusted? Sounds like we're back in Kansas, Dorothy Ann!
