Rahm Emanual Throws Coulter in the Faces of Pubs on the Floor of the House

[me b zola]

Speaking on the floor of the House, Rep Emanual asks repubs, "Does Coulter speak for you when she she suggests poisening SC Justices or slandering 911 widows?"

Emanual continued, "...if not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman."






edited to include a little more info :)

1. Messy

They should be grateful he didn't throw Santorum.

On edit: what would Coulter be if it were a non-proper noun? I'm thinking the barbed wire tangle left over from eroded fencing in abandoned cattle ranches, but that's just me.

7. REALLY messy!

:puke:

[warrens]

2. Woo-hoo!

Make them own the POS. Letterman went after her last night. One punchline, "Al Gore is working on a new movie about her. Called "An Inconvenient Bitch."

[stepnw1f]

3. Just as they did with Mr. Moore (nt)

[ourbluenation]

12. Exactly - she's a great spokesperson..gift from on high!!!

[July]

21. Do you mean make us own him?

Most of us are happy to do so.

[stepnw1f]

23. Own Who? Coulter or Moore? (nt)

[me b zola]

4. Holy shite, I missed it

:spray:

19. Letterman's best shot was...

"We do know Ann Coulter is an attractive blonde, maybe we should hook her up with O.J."

[Canuckistanian]

5. Yessss!

That's the ticket, duct tape that whore to the Republican party. Make them one and the same.

After all, they do contantly feed off of each other.

Make then OWN her, lock, stock and slimy barrel.

[AngryOldDem]

6. WOW!

Talk about a loaded question!

GO Rahm!

[me b zola]

10. He went on to say...

"...if not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman."

8. Don't fall into the trap

I saw her being confronted, etc. on one of the newcasts last night or the night before. The problem is that it gives the witch publicity and she lapped it up and played to it while wingnuts in the background (at a book signing) applauded. We may think that confrontations are finally a big slap at her but in reality it just helps sell her books AND you can bet the GOP is pleased right down to their dirty socks that she's getting the attention. This is just the kind of slimebag (like Limbaugh, etc.) that they want to see getting publicity so that they can rally up that good old, tent revival hatred that the mongrels that ARE the base suck up and love.

15. Except Emanuel isn't confronting Coulter

He's confronting the folks who leech off her leechery; Coulter's not in the House, but a lot of people who profit politically because of her are there. And it's a good question to pose: Do the Republicans agree or disagree with this odious woman? Is she a spokesperson by proxy for the GOP? The GOP's silence looks like acquiescence to her views to me. Will they denounce her loony rantings, or are they planks of the GOP platform?

18. Bullshit, there is only so much of the backwash who's going to buy

her book in the first place. If she sells another dozen books because of the publicity, I'd be surprised - but gladly pull the money out of my own pocket and buy them myself as long as she's getting this much attention to the REPUBLICAN party as the haters in America that they are. She's been one of their public faces for so long - they own her, and we need to keep reminding everyone of that. Then she can get convicted of illegally voting in Florida and become another brick in the Wall Of Republican Convicts!

20. Joe McCarthy was seeking publicity as well

When he was finally confronted his fall was historic.

[stepnw1f]

24. trap? Whatever...

[OKNancy]

9. I thought Democrats didn't fight back

and were spineless.
:sarcasm:

[wallwriter]

11. She should be dragged off in handcuffs

for suggesting poisoning Supreme Court justices. For the 9-11 widow statements, perhaps a public flogging would be appropriate.

[global1]

13. We Know If It Was A Liberal That The Repugs Would Be Demanding...

a public apology and they would be discrediting them to the point that they'd be black listed on MSM. Why don't it work the same when it's the other way around.

[me b zola]

16. That was how Emanual ended his remarks

He ended by saying that Coulter owes everybody an apology :)

[lpbk2713]

14. Answer: Yes.

They are secretly tickled to death to hear that lowlife verbalize what they are thinking.

[elehhhhna]

17. It's An-Quoltar. I checked her voter's reg card.

[Pathwalker]

22. Oooooo! - Good One! That's a keeper!

An-Quoltar! I love it! :rofl:

[JHB]

25. 'Bout time someone did it

The Black Caucus always took crap if they didn't denounce some bigot fast enough.

Turn the table.

[me b zola]

26. You have that right

They bought & paid for Coulter, they own her.

[originalpckelly]

27. Thank God someone high up in our party, other than Hill..

said something about that bitch.

28. here's why this effort, laudable/smart as it is, will go for nought

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/060706.html

At dinner a few weeks ago, a well-placed Republican political operative was oozing confidence about GOP prospects in the November elections, not because the voters were enamored of George W. Bush but because the Democrats and liberals had done so little to improve their ability to reach the public with their message.

By contrast, he described to me a highly sophisticated Republican system for pouncing on Democratic “bad votes” and verbal gaffes and distributing the information instantaneously to a network of pro-Republican media outlets that now operates down to the state, district and local levels.

This huge conservative media advantage has now contributed to dooming Democratic hopes for snaring the vulnerable suburban San Diego seat of imprisoned Republican congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham.

In the June 6 special election, Republicans reported a last-minute surge of support after conservative media outlets trumpeted a verbal blunder by Democrat Francine Busby, propelling Republican lobbyist Brian Bilbray to victory by about four percentage points.

29. not that this shouldn't be a prime instance of making Coulter a symbol

....a highly visible symbol of the bankruptcy of Republican political discourse
