Yeah, right.

Tell your friend that at least Franken admits he is a comedian.

4. It also doesn't hurt Franken's case that he's RIGHT about this shit

and Coulter, in the words of Bill maher, "just makes shit up." Franken has never called for the abolition of the opposing political party, as Coulter has done in Time Magazine and elsewhere. Franken has never pushed for a one-party system. Franken has never indulged in humorless generalizations..his generalizations are funny; none of this "all Democrats are traitors" crap.

5. Her anti-Muslim nastiness as well...

She's one of the few on the Repub side I've seen on national TV stating unequivocally that Muslims will have to change their religion, because it is simply dangerous to the U.S.

6. Franken was...

...one of the old SNL writers who penned the Point/Counterpoint skits ("Jane, you ignorant slut"), parodying one of the conservative pundits of that time.

I'd love to ask him how he felt about his old lampoons turning into the very model of conservative commentary.

8. Things like the phrase "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" are a direct...

response to the vitriol that's been coming from Limbaugh and his ilk for more than a decade.

The point Franken is making in doing such things (although the right is far too humorless and thin-skinned to get the irony) is simply "How else CAN you respond to such bile?"

By responding to Limbaugh et al in such ways, he is responding on what he sees as their level ("I know you are, but what am I?") to make the point that the "dialogue" from the right is childish. But he doesn't leave it at that. The bulk of his writings are loaded with facts and direct refutaion of claims from the right.

9. One difference...

Edited on Wed Aug-13-03 01:54 PM by ameriphile

...between Franken and Coulter is that the former, who admits to being a comedian, is perceived as a serious threat by the right; while the latter, who hasn't admitted to being a comedian, isn't taken seriously by the left.

13. Ha Ha

"We should execute liberals like (John) Lindh to show them that they, too, can be killed. Otherwise they will turn out to be outright traitors."
--Ilse Coulter, 2002 CPAC convention (to the applause of the rest of the Nazis)

First, how does this dumb bitch turn a fundamentalist muslim like Lindh into a liberal? Because she's a crazy Nazi bitch.

PS A very enlightening game to play with Coulter's writings and utternaces is to swap out "liberal" and replace it with "Jew" (or where applicable for grammatical puproses "Jewish") and "America" and replace it with Germany.

Ask your friend to try out this intellectual exercise. VERY enlightening.

18. You need to get a new friend.

I dropped all the rightwingers back in the 80's.

They are not likely to change. If they do, they will come looking.
