Clueless Liberal of the WeekLydia Cornell,
guest blogger at Bradblog and apparently an actress:
"But Coulter talks fippantly, jokingly – about 'killing liberals and democrats'," I continued. "Talking about killing people is just not that funny." Unless she's moving her Adam's apple at the same time, as a sideshow, I thought. "And the sarcasm she uses is dehumanizing. She uses double-think, saying ‘liberals and traitors and terrorists; different stages of the same disease.’ She advocates killing us!" Harman nervously laughed my comment off. And she is paid $30,000 to speak to impressionable young minds who have no sense of history or nuance.Now, you know how it is; when Ann talks about killing liberals and democrats it's not funny, but when Al Franken breaks a bottle over the head of a conservative and savagely beats him in an ad for his new book, why, that's hilarious. I also love the Adam's apple comment; apparently the liberals think Coulter's a man.
Confronted with this, Ms Cornell responds:
So I wrote an e-mail back to Stafford Jones with this: "If you claim that her call to repress the speech of Democrats was 'satire' then demonstrate it by letting us see what she said. Al Franken in an obvious hoax commercial by no means excuses what Coulter said as being 'satire'. If that's what it was, let's see it. Please send me a copy of the video or audio."Of course, Franken was making an obvious hoax commercial, while Coulter's calls for ending free speech for liberals is serious. You see how it is? As someone commented a few months ago, why is it that folks don't laugh at comedians making fun of their worldview? Because
that's not funny!
