... Her latest volley of interviews has been more like Kabuki; she made a cursory series of mainstream media appearances but she was reduced to code-talking to the dwindling conservative base that still thinks George Bush did a heck of a job.

The core of Coulter’s thesis is that liberals get what they want by existing in a permanent state of victimhood. This is a rich theory for a woman who lives in that bizarre parallel universe where conservatives are eternally bedeviled and contained by that unholy trinity of the liberal media, academia and judiciary. It becomes an even more difficult case to argue when you consider how, in its spectacular flame-out over the last year, the American right has suddenly discovered two liberal hobgoblins — sexism and racism — to explain away the laughable fizzling of its last two darlings, Sarah Palin and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal.

While it’s sad watching Coulter trundling out her road show after her best-before date, it cannot be forgotten that her incendiary punditry was part of a machine of books, Web sites and talk shows that inflicted eight years of divisive and incompetent Republican rule on America (14 if you count House majorities). This machine has lobotomized the Republican Party to the point where a recent convention’s star attractions were Joe the Plumber, Rush Limbaugh and a 13-year-old boy who was treated as an oracle because he could recite hard right talking points like the catechism.
Read it all. He has so many good lines.
If you need me I'll be at the Starbucks on Davie Street. :(
I'm no fan of Moore but it's a good article
ReplyDeleteI don't know him. They say he's a radio host. Is that where you know him?
ReplyDeleteOther than his weekly column here and there, yes, he's a talk radio host. He calls himself a libertarian so we should have much in common but he's just too cosy with the Liberal party on too many issues. He also frustrates me when he blurs the lines between (US) Republicans and (CAN) Conservatives. They are not one in the same but he tends to lump them all in one group. He was the leading cheerleader for a Carbon tax during the last election. He claimed Canadians were just too ignorant to understand it and if we did we would like it. He did his best to enlighten us to what it all meant. He's a Montrealer who now lives in Toronto and can come off as a bit of a Rosedale snob.
ReplyDeleteOK, I can see why you're not a fan.
