1. No, let the harpy speak
if this civil war in Iraq is no more than gang warfare, we don't need our soldiers there.

Bring them home and let the Iraqis fight it out; It's none of our business anymore.

2. What does she know about the Crips and Bloods?
Unless they are her dope dealers. I really wish there was a law against inane and stupid.

14. And what does she know about L.A.?
What does she know about anything, except snarky putdowns that aren't clever but are tragically tasteless and ill-informed?

25. She probably knows LA west of Sepulveda. The rest of it
is different than the affluent and predominantly rich west side. The only Crip or Blood that those people ever see are their drug dealers.

4. Or an off Broadway production of West Side Story?
All they need is a catchy musical score.

26. Yes, that's what this war needs-a snappy song...
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 04:42 PM by AnneD
OK Leo, you can kick my but when I join you. My apologies. This one is for you Art.

(sung to Maria)A Shi'ite!
I've just met a girl she's a Shi'ite,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.

A Shi'ite!
I've just kissed a girl she's a Shi'ite,
A burka I adore
her family's on the foor
Can it be!



(sung to When You're a Jet)"When you're a Kurd,
You're a Kurd all the way
From your first cigarette
To your last dying Day"


(sung to Tonight)"Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any fight,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my blood tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh bomb, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night! "


(sung to I Feel Pretty)"I feel Shi'ite,
So Shi'ite,
I feel pretty and witty and wired!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

<snip>

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Covered in a sheet!"

(sung to Somewhere)"There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and no fly zone
Wait for us
Green zone.

5. So we can pull out of Iraq and let the Baghdad police handle it, right?
But then, mann coulter would have to stop flogging his dong to the prospect of nukin' Iraq.

11. Is there some other way you might find to criticize her?
Is it really necessary to keep going back to the "mann coulter" jokes? Ann won't see your insults, but allies who are hurt by such comments will. Do you think you might find a different way to express how much you dislike her, without also expressing a dislike for women who don't have perfect looks, for transgendered folks, for people who are here on DU for the same reasons you are?

That one is using "anorexic bitch" as an insult.

28. I missed that one...
Anorexia's a disease. People die from it, many of them still kids - about 1 person in 10 will die from it. Ha, ha, she looks like she has a fatal disease. Hee, hee, she looks like someone who has a disorder related to OCD that might be treatable with serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Snicker, giggle. Maybe someone else will say she looks like a cancer patient with a bad wig, wouldn't that be a knee-slapper? LOL, cancer!!

(ok, I'm not so good at snark, and it's late...)

I feel that Coulter deserves to be fought on the basis of her actions and ideas, not on the basis of what her body looks like. Or, to put it differently, I also feel that Nancy Pelosi deserves to be praised on the basis of her actions and ideas, not on how nice her hair looks or whether she looks good for a lady her age or wore a red dress. I feel the same about men. Rush Limbaugh's big belly isn't any more relevant than Obama's taut tummy. In any case, I'd like to think that progressives are smart enough and caring enough to choose their words well, so that they achieve the intended effect without causing collateral damage.

Now, to try to answer the question I think you're really asking: Yes, I do tend to answer the "Mann Coulter" remarks more frequently than the others. It's an issue that is close to home for me. Everyone picks his or her own dearest issues, and this is one of mine.

7. So are we giving the crips and bloods police training?
Giving them weapons and armor? Which gang have we installed as the government?

10. Really Ann? What country backs the crips? And the bloods?
Ann is too stupid to see that this has become a regional war. What a dumb asshole.

15. And she continues her fast downward trajectory into irrelevance.
If anyone takes her seriously anymore, I feel sorry for them.

17. Let's take an informal vow...
Let's not discuss Ann Coulter on these boards any more (kudo's for not including a link to her article, BTW) because we know she's batshit crazy and no reasonable person cares what in the hell she says or does.

It's just not worth wasting DU's bandwidth.

Exception: We can conduct a communal giggle-fest when she's convicted of voter fraud.

18. You Are Right-The Big Difference- The Real Problem
You are completely right. Ann Coulter is completley out of her mind. She never stops saying extremely stupid things.

The big difference between the bloods and crips in California is that they are not hurting many people who are not in their gangs. Neither the bloods or the crips are blowing up hospitals, library, schools, stores, and/or corner markets just to kill each other. In addition, the bloods and the crips are not kidnapping inicient people, holding them as captives, and then beheading them and cutting off their private parts. Furthermore, as far as I know the bloods and the crips are not killing hundreds of their own people or killing one or more soldiers a day. Beyond that the bloods and crips are not causing billions of dollars of damage to the city of L.A. a day.

Finally, the real problem with Ann Coulter's comment is that their is some idiot out thier who will agree with what she said. The will not be able to see the differences in what is going on in L.A. and what is going on in Iraq.

20. Her fans have narrow, bigoted views and this rhetoric is designed to create race impressions
in their minds.

21. The Problem With her Statement is......
The Bloods and Crips called for a truce in 1992 in L.A. and 1994 in other cities. They were influenced by the Rodney King riots and other community activists like Jim Brown who help broker the truce.

So, following her logic we should have had someone try and broker a peace deal between them.

Either way Ann, this administration messed up every opportunity they had.

22. Odd
How did we miss the killing of 34,000 crips and bloods and the killing of 12,000 LA cops in 2006?
You'd think NBC Nightly News would have mentioned this development.

24. Very True
And you'd think there would have been some kind of story about the mayor of Los Angeles also being a crip who may have a desire to see the crips beat the bloods.

I'm going to have to check lexus nexis.
