More Coulter Nonsense
CNN.com reports that, in the question-and-answer session following her CPAC "speech"—I'm sorry, given what she said, I just can't omit the quotation marks—Ann Coulter further addressed the topic of gay people. See if you can make sense of her words.
"I do want to point out one thing that has been driving me crazy with the media -- how they keep describing Mitt Romney's position as being pro-gays, and that's going to upset the right wingers," she said. "Well, you know, screw you! I'm not anti-gay. We're against gay marriage. I don't want gays to be discriminated against."She added, "I don't know why all gays aren't Republican. I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they're victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us."
So many things...
I've been researching a lengthy story on Mitt Romney, and damned if I can find anything about the media describing his position as "pro-gay," unless you're talking about his support of gay rights outlined in a letter to the Log Cabin Republicans 13 years ago.
Then, this line:
We're against gay marriage. I don't want gays to be discriminated against.
I'm not sure how you can utter those two thoughts consecutively
and claim to make a whit of sense. These are the words of a mind skittering about like drops of water on a sizzling griddle.
Here's the most charitable interpretation of Ann Coulter I can come up with: She is a performance artist, the right-wing equivalent of
Karen Finley. And just like Finley (whom I once watched get naked, smash up a bunch of yams in a see-through plastic bag, then get in the bag—weirdly boring), once she becomes more about shock than about substance, she becomes marginalized and heads toward irrelevancy.
