My father just called me an extremist

Its because I told him that I don't read Time Magazine after that fluff piece about Ann Coulter. :crazy:

3. Oooh.... a lightbulb just went off....

Newseeek reports NEWS and gets shot down. Time does a piece on Ann Coulter, and the White House goes after its biggest rival.

7. How the Radical Right

feels about Hillary, we feel the same about Ann Coulter. The sweet revenge is that while the Right CANNOT ignore Hillary, who is a Senator, we can ignore Coulter, who is nothing more than an obnoxious talking head.

4. Tell if he calls you that again

You'll drag him behind your car and then boil him in oil.

I'd laugh except that I know it's not a joke.

5. Extremism in the defense of liberty...

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. " Barry Goldwater

See how he likes that one.

10. My family tells me that all the time.

They think I'm badly informed because I tell them the real news and because it isn't reported in the MSM, they think I am getting my information from extreme sources.

I don't care though because I know down the line that I will be vindicated.

12. My DH called me a "radical liberal" months ago...

Edited on Tue May-17-05 03:43 PM by TheGoldenRule

before the election-even though I hadn't done one so called "radical" thing save for posting about politics on another message board-LOL!

The funny thing is that now we're pretty much on the same page about all the B.S. that's going on.

It's lovely to be vindicated! :)

14. Interesting

I'm not an extremist. I don't read Time magazine because it flat out sucks. No news in it whatsoever. Extremism has nothing to do with it, unless you're saying "Time magazine sucks extremely badly".

15. According to my daughter, I need to consult a psychiatrist

because I am damaging my mental health by "obssessing" about things political. She thinks I take things "way too personally." She is a Dem voter, but is not an activist, and sees no reason to involve herself so directly. She makes my head explode.

17. That's ironic

considering that most Freepers types consider Time magazine a left wing leaning rag, even after the Coulter story. Maybe you should call him a liberal for reading Time.
