DUers who are falling for the KKKulter scam and playing its game should
be ashamed. All that "outrage" and those insults are exactly what was intended. You are being played, and even worse than that, you seem to be enjoying it.

The only reason that particular sack of shit is selling books, appearing on TV, and getting money from speaking engagements is because of "your" willingness to treat that psychopathic opportunist as a real human being who is participating in some sort of meaningful discourse. That thing is just a meaningless scammer whose livelihood depends of getting people to react to its hateful rhetoric and the willingness of fascist media to give it a platform. It is Evil Knieval without the courage, Tiny Tim without the honesty, Fred Phelps with with a good PR firm and corporate backing.

Every post gives it more attention, and that is what feeds it. Stop feeding it. Stop playing the game it has set up.

Too bad you will be accused of participating just based on the existence of this post.

6. Yeah. I thought of that.
Not wanting to add to the meaningless noise that it has generated here on DU kept me from posting earlier in any of the dozens of threads it managed to generate here. But the message is not about that publicity vampire, it is about those who are, unwittingly for sure, being sucked in.

4. Please, do not insinuate that somehow DU posts...
fuel the beast that is her. Even if DU never mentioned her name again, she would continue to to paraded around by the media because

a) because everyone like a ruckus, and ruckus' sell
b) it distracts peoples attention from what really matters.

The media, not us, give her the opportunity to air her utter badger shit. Let people bitch about it. It makes them feel better.

12. Your words echo what I was trying to get at:
"she would continue to to paraded around by the media because

a) because everyone like a ruckus, and ruckus' sell
b) it distracts peoples attention from what really matters."

No attention to that liar, no PR, no ruckus, no ability to divert the discussion from real issues, and KKKulter would be useless to the corporatists. The outrage it generates is what keeps it in the news and makes it effective as a servant to power. It is a scam, and playing the game according to the rules it sets up is a fool's mission.

5. I've said it elsewhere-- it bears repeating... If you have syphilis, you
don't ignore it.

You find a way to rid yourself of it.

Ignoring syphilis will only allow the rot to spread.

7. Hmm... I just got here and this is the first Coulter thread I've seen
and, actually I was looking foward to gloating over getting her ass handed to her for this one. Sorry if you think I'm being played, but Coulter is getting air time whether you want her to or not, and it's nice to see people calling her on her shit. Olberman out and out called her insane, it was pretty damn funny. As liberals we have been hammered pretty hard for a long time. You really can't blame people for celebrating a victory, however minor and insignificant it is...

8. Well,
DO send a letter of complaint to NBC and Universal.

Help those of us on overseas bases who have to see her in Stripes. As NBC goes, so will Stripes editors.

11. Al Franken said it best.
"She says outrageous things and then acts like a victim when people react to what she said." (Paraphrasing, but I think it's close.)

I think she's a wacked out old drunk who figured out a way to make money without having to hold down a job. Her anorexia will probably put a finish to her hate babblings soon enough.
