Guest MikeSC Report post Posted July 26, 2004 OK, USA Today, in their INFINITE wisdom, decided to have Ann Coulter cover the DNC for them. Her first column was, well, basically what you'd expect from Ann (the column is available on her website --- I sure as hell ain't posting it). USA Today spiked the column and canned her (replacing her with the considerably more sane Jonah Goldberg of Nat'l Review). In the midst of all this, they ALSO announced that they are signing Michael Moore to cover the RNC. Nice to see lessons of taking hate-filled spigots of shit and giving them a podium isn't lost on our favorite McNewspaper. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, the mind boggles. -=Mike ...Now I'm picturing Berman and Moore digging into a buffet in Bristol. MAKE IT STOP!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Close enough, but the problem was that you have to wait until someone sets it up with, "I never saw John Kerry as a bad baseball thrower ever ... ever..." The "Ever" line is the set-up, and the "kid asking if it's OK..." is the throw-down. Don't put one in front of the other, or else the planets will become unaligned or something...

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Many politicans get booed when their picture is shown at a sporting event, so Kerry getting a mixed reaction, at best, is no big deal.

They'd have to get his balls out of their collective mouth first, and I doubt that will be happening. The Coulter fiasco has been interesting. It's clear their editors had NO IDEA what they were getting when they brought her onboard. It's also clear their grasp of the English language is quite flawed.

It's clear their editors had NO IDEA what they were getting when they brought her onboard. It's also clear their grasp of the English language is quite flawed. What will likely happen, I'm sure, is that Moore will probably be just as partisan if not as insane as Coulter, but he'll throw in a joke or two. USA Today will then refuse to fire him because his entire commentary would qualify as "political satire." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Set Free Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Here is the article in it's entirety: USA Today Put The Speakers In A Cage July 26, 2004 Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the "F-word" are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling. Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists -- with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs. A speaker at the Democratic National Convention this year, Al Sharpton, accused white police officers of raping and defacing Tawana Brawley in 1987, lunatic charges that eventually led to a defamation lawsuit against Sharpton and even more eventually, to Sharpton paying a jury award to the defamed plaintiff Steve Pagones. So it's a real mystery why cops wouldn't like Democrats. As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval. Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention. Apparently, the nuts at the Democratic National Convention are going to be put in cages outside the convention hall. Sadly, they won't be fighting to the death as is done in W.W.F. caged matches. They're calling this the "protestor's area," although I suppose a better name would be the "truth-free zone". I thought this was a great idea until I realized the nut category did not include Sharpton, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Teddy Kennedy -- all featured speakers at the convention. I'd say the actual policy is only untelegenic nuts get the cages, but little Dennis Kucinich is speaking at the Convention, too. So it must be cages for nuts who have not run for president as serious candidates for the Democratic Party. Looking at the line-up of speakers at the Convention, I have developed the 7-11 challenge: I will quit making fun of, for example, Dennis Kucinich, if he can prove he can run a 7-11 properly for 8 hours. We'll even let him have an hour or so of preparation before we open up. Within 8 hours, the money will be gone, the store will be empty, and he'll be explaining how three 11-year olds came in and asked for the money and he gave it to them. For 20 years, the Democrats wouldn't let Jimmy Carter within 100 miles of a Convention podium. The fact that Carter is now their most respectable speaker tells you where that party is today. Maybe they just want to remind Americans who got us into this Middle East mess in the first place. W've got millions of fanatical Muslims trying to slaughter Americans while shouting Allah Akbar! Yeah, let's turn the nation over to these guys. With any luck, Gore will uncork his speech comparing Republicans to Nazis. Just a few weeks ago, Gore gave a speech accusing the Bush administration of deploying digital "Brown Shirts" to intimidate journalists and pressure the media into writing good things about Bush -- in case you were wondering where all those glowing articles about Bush were coming from. The last former government official to slake his thirst so deeply with the kool-aid and become a far-left peacenik was Ramsey Clarke and it took him a few years to really blossom. Clinton must have done some number on Gore. Then again, with his yen for earth tones in a man's wardrobe, maybe Gore's references to "Brown Shirts" was intended as a compliment. Only one major newspaper -- the Boston Herald -- reported Gore's Brown Shirt comment, though a Bush campaign spokesman's statement quoting the "Brown Shirt" line made it into the very last sentence of a Los Angeles Times article. The New York Times responded with an article criticizing both Republicans and Democrats for using Nazi imagery. Democrats call Republicans Nazis, the Republicans quote the Democrats calling Republicans Nazis and both are using Nazi imagery. (It's a cycle of violence!)
