Good at it?
Who new is she convincing? She is simply reassurance and comfort for those already on the far right and I suspect most of them were there before she ever showed up. And I suspect you do not have to be "good at it" to reassure that crowd of extremists to keep them marginalized like they are.

Yes. Like a very successful version of what you do on DP.
 
I guess you are unaware of the far left vitriol that comes from far less academically successful Cornell alums-Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann as well as that from Chris (I jazzed my shorts thinking of Obama) Mathews or Rachel MadCow

None of those people give Miss Obscenely Long Hands any money either.

She and her ilk- including Maher and Maddow and O'Reilly, et al- pretty much lose whatever bit of relevance they have once the last ballot is counted. After that they all look like attention whores competing to get the sea of faces turned their way. None of them deserves to be called a 'commentator', they're a bunch of rabble-rousers- left, right, or in the center three feet from the ground.
 
You clearly didn't understand what she was saying or you didn't listen to the comments she made. She didn't disrespect them for their opinions - she disrespected them for using their loss as a cudgel against any who disagreed with their opinions. They were paraded out by Democrats to speak against all kinds of Bush era initiatives as if their personal loss made them unassailable experts on every policy topic going forward. These women were respected and honored for their loss, as were many others who suffered loss that day, and their grieving their loss was widely respected - as was and is the loss suffered by parents and family members who lost children or loved ones at Sandy Hook. It is objectionable to me and others when the Democrat party then persuades these individuals or these individuals allow themselves to be used as props - yes props - for the liberal/Democrat party agenda. And to be clear, these women were not just used by Democrats to speak about 9/11 - they were also used as props to speak against a large number of tangential national security issues, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other Democrat party agenda items.

It's far more vile, in my opinion, to use those who have suffered loss in such a way than to point out the absurdity of them being used as props.

BTW, you've actually done a pretty good job of proving Coulter's point and my point too. You jump to the emotional dismissal of any counter argument by trying to shame people into silence against the words of someone who "suffers a traumatic event".
You nailed it. She disrespected them. In my opinion, that's vile. Why she disrespected them doesn't make any difference to me. she attacked them on a personal level when she could have just attacked their opinions. The same goes for Sandy Hook. I don't agree with them, but doesn't mean I have to disrespect them. The right thing to do is to go after their opinions.
 
I was talking clothing sales. I have no idea what they issue in reception stations. Actually at Ft. McPherson before they closed the post down and FORSCOM moved to Ft. Bragg, the PX took over clothing sales. The boots were made in China.
Gotcha.
 
They seem pretty much the same. I kept one pair from basic even though I replaced my primary pair. Other than being obnoxiously more heavy...there's not much difference lol

Now I need to replace the pair I was using :(
You guys boots are designed more with safety and shock absorption in mind (hence the heaviness) whereas ours are designed more for performance and breathability. There are pluses and minuses to both. You guys wear those awful blueish colored boots right? Those things are hideous bro lol. Sorry. I like your cammies though. I think the tiger stripe pattern is pretty sweet. Not for combat or anything. It just looks good. But the boots gotta go lol.

I did nail it, but you just didn't go far enough - you forget the sequence - widows and the bereaved are paraded out to push the liberal agenda, conservative attacks the agenda, liberal attacks conservative for attacking widows and the bereaved, conservative attacks liberals for parading out widows and the bereaved to push their agenda.

Nothing vile there - and again, you're proving my point. She's not allowed to criticize the carriers of the liberal agenda because of their loss - according to liberals, those who suffer loss are unassailable in their views. According to liberals, if your husband dies, you're an expert on all public administration matters, and your views may not be challenged.

That's quite the straw man you got there. You missed my point entirely. I have no beef with anyone criticizing their position. My problem is with people who criticize the people making the point. And yeah yeah, "all liberals think and do this". I've heard it before.

That's actually pretty funny, from my perspective. The MO of the average liberal is to start attacking the person they're discussing an issue with, particularly when they see they're losing the argument. I see it often - can't tell you the number of times I've been accused of being racist when pointing out President Obama's policies and actions are disasterous. Just look at the content of the OP on this thread - Bashir doesn't like that Palin compares massive accumulations of debt to slavery. Palin makes the comparison because both involve condemning people to servitude to others. Bashir can't argue that fact, so he resorts to the personal attack and the vile, sexist comment.

But not to worry, you have your view of the world and I have mine, and you've done zero to disabuse me of the validity of the position I hold.

Take care and have fun, and enjoy your Thanksgiving Week ahead.

Yes, some people do that, but not every Liberal does. It's also not exclusively Liberals. As a member of this site, surely you have seen Liberals who are exceptions to your narrow definition of what they're supposed to be. You have the same issue with Bashir as I have with Coulter. Instead of attacking a persons position they attack the person.
Take care and have fun, and enjoy your Thanksgiving Week ahead.

Oh, I can't wait to grub out. Take it easy. :)
