I think one thing that's being misread from Ann Coulter's coverage of the "Spawn of Satan convention"(1) is her comment on bras and democrats. She calls democrats "no-bra needing" not 'no-bra wearing'. What she is implying with the former, and this is even more childish than the latter could aspire to, is that Democratic women have smaller breasts and thus do not need to wear bras. Wow, what is going on in the world that this woman is allowed to speak in public? Are conservatives trying to show women as incapable? She spouts nothing but slander and hate and sets back the cause of equality between the sexes daily by trying to hammer home the idea that the most important thing for a woman is to be "pretty".
I sometimes wonder if the swing voters would be as convinced if someone were to give [livejournal.com profile] hahahello a book contract and he were to write his opus "Poopyheads and Other terms for Conservatives".


(1)her actual term from the beginning of her article for USA Today

I believe that by this point, post-cold war and with the knowledge that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked for the purposes of war, that most people would agree that the Vietnam War was a bad idea, a position that scads of anti-war protestors took even back in the 1960's. People then were saying that the government was fighting an unjust overseas war that would kill innocent people.
Fast forward to 2002/2003. There is once again overseas war, and once again scads of protestors saying it's a bad idea, that this is not some "pure" conflict. And once again they are ignored.
Why do people in power assume that protestors are wrong? Where were the damn liberal media back in March of last year when the protestors were saying that the information Bush had was wrong?(statements that have been proven accurate since then) Do we ever learn anything?
