I think behar is one of the most annoying people out there. but I give her credit with the way she conducted the interview. both of these women are shrill and annoying.

Chelsea's mother gets bashed for her looks; Michelle Obama, and not just b/c she's black (linebacker shoulders, bad taste in clothes, etc). Like Chelsea, Amy Carter before here. It's hell to go through adolescence in the WH. Nancy Pelosi. Janet Nepolitano (sp?). Practically every democratic woman gets it.

Who's bashed Hillary, Pelosi etc for their "looks"? Find a few postings because every posting I've seen on them bash them for being stupid liberals because they think "It Takes a Villages" or for their double speak..

p.s. bad taste in clothes is not bashing for "looks"

Lightbulb What I love about Ann Coulter...

... is how she's single-handedly trying to resurrect Joe McCarthy.



What's that they say about birds of a feather?

Ann Coulter is a shame to this great country and anyone who agrees with her (in general) should think twice. I mean we are talking about the women who has no problem making fun of a woman who is terminally ill (Elizabeth Edwards), call John Edwards a ****** and making fun of 9/11 widows.

Not funny. Not funny at all!

Yes, I do. I would shut her up and she would probably blow up on me for making her look like a fool in front of everyone else. I have no problem fighting with a woman who makes fun of 9/11 widows.
You would rather see a pregnant teen have an abortion then a terrorist waterboarded.

I'd rather have a pregnant teen decide for herself. Her pregnancy is none of my business. It's none of yours, either.

America shouldn't torture. Ever. Period.

I think it is incredibly wrong but it is not my business what a person chooses to do.

We're in agreement on that point.

Let me try to explain something to you: Your in a war zone. Several of your comrades (fellow soldiers) have been abducted by the terrorists / Taliban. You see your buddies one day on the TV - and you watch at the "enemy" beheads your comrades. You watch as they kick across the floor, the heads of your buddies.

A couple of days later, YOU capture several of the terrorists - and you want to get information where the others - the ones that killed your buddies, are.

You end up pouring water on their heads to get them to talk. And, they do. You capture the enemy. You capture the ones who beheaded your buddies.

Now tell me - which one is "torture"?

BTW the scenario I gave is a real one - not hypothetical.

The waterboarding is torture.

The beheadings are murder.
