Ann Coulter refers to Ted Kennedy as, "Glad he's gone human pestilence" on MJ.

[bodecea]

Oh they will.

I love Anne...reading Demonic right now. Well researched, intelligent book and dead on.

Yeah, she has some interesting things to say about the mob mentality.

Oh, I'm sure she does....as her mob rushes out to buy her books.

 

[koshergrl]

Yes, she describes you to a "t".

 

[Big Black Dog]

Ted Kennedy has killed more people with his car than I have with my gun.

 

[The Infidel]

Anns' right. The "Whale of the Senate" was a human pestilence.

and a murderer

 

[bodecea]

Yes, she describes you to a "t".

And, that description is?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

But besides Chappaquiddick, paying Anita Hill to lie about Clarence Thomas and working with the USSR to undermine Reagan, Teddy would have been Presidential material, amiright?

 

[koshergrl]

Yes, she describes you to a "t".

And, that description is?

Part of a mob.

Uneducated.

Addicted to catch phrases.

Unable to focus.

In other words...

The Democratic Party is nothing if not a repository of hackneyed slogans ("the laws of logic have no action on crowds"), repeated mindlessly and incessantly and designed to thwart the rational consideration of ideas with appeals to incendiary, false rhetoric: "Bush lied, people died." "No blood for oil." "Tax cuts for the rich."http://www.newsmax.com/Limbaugh/Ann...on-taxcuts/2011/06/10/id/399557#ixzz1fDMUVuPR

CON$ervatives are nothing if not a repository of hypocrisy.

As gas prices soar, Republicans and oil company executives have revived a rallying cry that echoed around the country the last time gas prices spiked: "Drill, baby, drill!"
Ann Coulter - Apr 23, 2011

"She first establishes her base line, defining the mob as "an irrational, childlike, often violent organism that derives its energy from the group. Intoxicated by messianic goals, the promise of instant gratification, and adrenaline-pumping exhortations, mobs create mayhem, chaos, and destruction, leaving a smoldering heap of wreckage for their leaders to climb to power."

Sound familiar? It should, because "the Democratic Party is the party of the mob . . . Indeed, the very idea of a 'community organizer' is to stir up a mob for some political purpose." No truer words.

She then systematically identifies the Democratic Party's mob characteristics and how its leaders' appeal to them — through distortions, inflaming passions, demonizing opponents, and substituting propagandist images and sound bites in place of facts, ideas and persuasive argument.

"No blood for oil." "Tax cuts for the rich."

Next, Coulter takes us on a gripping tour of the murderously barbaric and ghoulishly bloody years of the French Revolution and its philosophical underpinnings, which were inspired in part by Jean Jacques Rousseau.

Rousseau, as you know, is one of the left's celebrated secular political philosophers. Anticipating modern liberals, he twisted words and concepts to turn common sense on its head.

Rousseau was a proponent of the "general will," but his idea of the general will did not remotely resemble any bottom-up expression of the people en route to republican government. It more closely resembled the process whereby autocrats impose their "superior" ideas on the masses in the name of carrying out the people's will.

As Coulter puts it, "a select group of elites with absolutely no grasp of human nature will figure out the program, inflexibly impose it on the people and thereby regenerate mankind."

Coulter's guided tour of the French Revolution (and her contrasting summary of the American Revolution) is hardly a mere historical joyride. For in the book's last section, she makes her closing argument, highlighting the inescapable parallels between today's liberals and the revolutionary French.

She writes that "all the bloody totalitarian dictatorships of the twentieth century have drawn inspiration from Rousseau and the French Revolution." All the "great liberal 'reformers' of the twentieth century, from Lenin to Hugo Chavez," got their "playbook from Robespierre" — probably the worst and most radical of the French revolutionaries — "who argued, following Rousseau, that a 'Republic of Virtue' could only be achieved by 'virtue combined with terror.'"

Democrats, says Coulter, "are heirs to the French Revolution, the uprising of a mob," whereas "conservatives are heirs to the American Revolution and the harmonious order of a republic." Indeed.



Chilling 'Demonic' Is Ann Coulter's Best Book

Sounds like textbook right wing fear mongering...create a monster that must be ostracized and feared. Based on extreme stereotyping...

No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
Edmund Burke

 

[koshergrl]

Big whoop.

"Make Love Not War"
"Bush Lied Men Died"
"Teabaggers"
"It's the economy, stupid"

Liberals are monsters, and should be feared.

Because they are members of a mob. They promote death, destruction, and the erosion of human rights. What's to like?

Demonic should be required reading. She is dead on and absolutely brilliant at it.

How old are you? You are either very young or very ignorant. READ Coulter's words; look at the adjectives used to describe fellow Americans! SHE is the one doing exactly what she accuses Democrats of; "distortions, inflaming passions, demonizing opponents, and substituting propagandist images and sound bites in place of facts, ideas and persuasive argument."

I've been around since Truman was President, I have never seen the people Coulter describes. Such vile demonization is right out of Hitler's playbook.

Please refer to the thread in this very forum entitled "You're not Hitler" and view the educational video. I don't think Ann Coulter qualifies

Coulter is not a Hitler. But she is using the same tactics Hitler and Goebbels used to demonize a group of people. It made it possible for followers to carry out atrocities against fellow Germans believing they are monsters. koshergrl said it herself: "Liberals are monsters, and should be feared."

She is using extremely incendiary rhetoric to make law abiding fellow Americans into monsters. They don't exist, except in your mind. THAT is what Coulter intended.

 

[BDBoop]

Here's a clue-by-four for Kosher Girl.

There is no such thing as a monster.

You (read: Coulter) are demonizing an entire political party for gain.

Paraphrasing, because I know this is not the direct quote, but "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

Also, a life lived in fear is a life unlived.
