Steel2Velvet Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 .. The holy triumvirate of ignorance and hate. Hate mongering is very often a two-way street. I am unfamiliar with that interview, but from reading the quotes, it appears Coulter attempted to invoke irony by flip-flopping the language that the abortion machinery (and probably the murdered doctor as well) has, for many years, used in attempting to mitigate their assault on preborn human beings. Her comments were no more nor less appropriate than those of the industry she was attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'm certain the dead man's family will be snickering at her 'irony'. They will most certainly NOT want to shoot HER through the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Oh, no doubt. These things just go on and on and on ... Why is revenge so attractive as to preclude thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 It's one thing to attack an industry, it's another to joke about and practically endorse the cold blooded gunning down of a man. Anti-abortion peoples: But abortion is murder. Me: No it's not. AAP: Yeah it is. And the argument goes on and on and nobody's mind is changed.

Levis Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Attack? This 'irony' is turning a man's murder into a JOKE! Pro-choicers don't go around making jokes about abortion. That statement is shameful and I cannot believe anyone would even attempt to excuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 ... because it is important for the life of this indusrty to maintain focus on trivialites external (meaning the loose cannon comments of headliners like Coulter - not referring to the unwarranted death of the doctor) in order to distract from the havoc wreaked inside the wombs of women. It is the old "bait and switch" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Except that "the havoc wreaked inside the wombs of women" is done so with the approval of the women/legal guardians of the wombs' occupants...as prescribed by law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 "Guardian" would hardly be the correct term to use in the occasions of 93% of American abortions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) How can you make such a statement unless you are in the room with those same 93%? Unless you are in their situation? Perhaps the "havoc" wreaked inside their wombs is nothing compared to the havoc of their lives? Pro-lifers always want to use inflammatory words like Pro-abortion or Pro-murder to describe those that believe the opposite of themselves. Pro-murder sounds like the perfect description for Ms Coulter and her ilk. A man (a father, and a husband) was murdered. And she makes jokes. She is a sad excuse for a human being.

Farin Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester." When pressed by O'Reilly on this statement, Coulter replied, "I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others." 1. you call this^ 'dark humour'? and 2. you really think it's okay for them to make fun of his murder because he did abortions? wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 The point of this thread was not abortion, but the murder of an individual. The murder of a doctor who performed abortions, yes, but murder all the same. I don't consider the bile spouted by Coulter and her ilk dark humor at all, but sheer insensitivity to a family mourning a tragic death. Not a humorous comment made in the private, but publically, on television. Absolutely no respect for this family whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like abortion jokes (there's even shirts about it) or quotes such as "hanging out at abortion clinics is cool because you meet a lot of sluts there" (I'm paraphrasing a Kevin Smith movie). You're gonna get bent outta shape over that? Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I repeat, the subject here is not abortion. It's murder, and the public disrespect of a family. That is not dark humor. If it were, you'd find real comedians, not the likes of Ann freaking Coulter spouting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Not too soon, too disrespectful. This mans family are alive, they watch television, they see and here this. That was a public comment made by a woman with absolutely no regard for this man's children. If you don't see the wrong in that then move over Ann Coulter, Bitter freaking Almonds is moving in.

The murder was the topic not abortion, and Steel you are coming mighty close to the defense of a comment that I'd never have believed you would suppot. If you all don't think that the God Almighty Pro lifers can't manipulate statistics and words with the bait and switch game, you are seriously mistaken. I knew better than to open my mouth, and I honestly apologize for publically saying things better kept to myself. Y'all can carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
