"Liberals are godless and Hillary's husband is a rapist."
Edited on Sun Jun-18-06 07:42 AM by Vinnie From Indy
This is from Coulter's latest column. The column is syndicated and appeared in over 100 American newspapers. NOT ONE NEWSPAPER DECLINED TO RUN THIS COLUMN! Editor & Publishher asks WHY did so many newspapers run this latest column when they have ruthlessly dropped much milder columnists and cartoonists on the Left for criticizing BushCo. Send the E&P column to anyone you know that claims that there is a "Liberal" media. The fact is that there is a massive, unprecedented bias in our media today in America and it serves BushCo and the right wing. Here is a snippet of the E&P article.
***************************************************************

In her latest column today, Coulter writes, among other things, " that two facts are now universally accepted -- liberals are godless and Hillary's husband is a rapist."

The huge book sales for Coulter have come after a massive publicity drive during which, among other things, she called certain 9/11 widows "witches" who have been "enjoying" their husbands' deaths. She also said that their husbands were likely going to divorce them anyway.

Another Universal creator, liberal editorial cartoonist Ted Rall, also satirized some 9/11 widows in a 2002 drawing -- but, in his case, was hurt financially. Rall, who called Coulter's comments "a lot meaner" than his cartoon, noted that he lost WashingtonPost.com as a client.

And, in a Tuesday column linked on Rall's blog, Phil Reisman of The Journal News in White Plains, N.Y., discussed other fallout from that 2002 cartoon: "Rall was effectively roasted by the conservatives. For example, right-wing bloggers flooded Men's Health magazine, where his cartoon appeared, and he lost that outlet. His work used to appear frequently in the political cartoon section of The New York Times Week In Review, but that was stopped. In the end, Rall figures the backlash cost him $40,000 to $50,000 in business."

1. I think the difference is...

Lucianne probably pays to have "Its" columns printed...

The other people? Well, informing people is their job.

Follow the money.

2. It's easy to go to No. 1 when you have the Scaife family
buying your sleaze in bulk.

But, I take it that the spokeswoman from a newspaper - that should know how to research, but apparently doesn't - should know this.

14. Is there any way to prove those claims?
I have seen that stated before. I would love to see proof of it.
Then we might be talking.

3. if Bill Clinton is a rapist
Then George Bush is a heck of a lot worse than a war criminal and a bisexual, military-deserting cokehead whose marriage is on the rocks.

16. Where does free speech end and slander begin
when claiming that someone is a rapist as fact and universally accepted?

19. Slander and Libel cases are hard to win when you are a public figure
And there have been accusations made, and without a trial and verdict, there can be no exoneration (sometimes not even then).

The repukes will point to campus posters where male students have been vilified as rapists even after law enforcement and the school have investigated and taken no action to legitimize this approach. Note also that Newsweek has reversed itself on the Duke case.

Not saying I agree with what is being done, but its not without precedent...

22. you have to prove malice and I don't think that would be hard here.
I don't know why Clinton doesn't just sue the B*tch. The whole Juanita Broderick thing was about money anyway, it's pretty well documented in 'Blinded by the Right'.

5. Eventually, people will tire of Annimal's schtick....
We give this fire-breathing swamp beast much more attention that it deserves. Let it scream and howl, then crawl back into its cave.

6. Yeah, "It" is the infomercial that wouldn't die.
With all of the "pay-for-play" scandals around now...

I find it amazing people don't understand "It" is only
on TeeVee so much because "It" has payed to be on TeeVee.

If we stop watching and responding... Well, whoever is paying
will tire of "it" and move on to some other skulduggery.

9. Conservatives are brainless and Coulter's mother raised a gerbil molester
Where are our outlets to post equally stupid headlines? How dare these morans complain about 'liberal' media. We never seem to get the opportunity to publicize masturbatory non-stop shit slinging like this.

17. Will any DU lawyer please explain to me
how labeling someone as a "rapist" as fact is not grounds for a defamation of character suit, and why "IT" and every one of the newspapers that ran IT's column is not libel? I just don't understand, and probably never will.

One day, Little Orphaned Annie is going to go too far and the press will do what should have been done a long time ago. Ditch her like Tom Cruise at a M:I3 showing.
