What rough beast is this?
Ann Coulter, that's what. Following in the admirably large footsteps of Carl Skutsch, BJ at SESQUIPEDALIAN goes where few (or at least, few who wish to keep their dinner down) will tread. This is a great long rant on Annthrax to keep the most discriminating AC hater amused.

FAUX NEWS - ANNTHRAX ENRAGE ___ __ TYPICAL FAUX NEWS VIEWER

FAUX NEWS & the rise of contagious stupidity and insanity.
The wondrous blessing God bestowed on America's own great chroniclers of contagious stupidity, Mark Twain and H.L. Mencken -- is that they lived and died without imagining a thing like Fox News. It's easy to laugh at Rupert Murdoch's outrageous mongrel, the impossible offspring of supermarket tabloids, sitcom news spoofs, police-state propaganda mills and the World Wrestling Federation.

Fox News is an oxymoron and Cheech and Chong would have made a more credible team of war correspondents than Geraldo Rivera and Ollie North. Neither Saturday Night Live nor the 1973 film Network, Paddy Chayefsky's corrosive satire of TV news, could even approach the comic impact of Geraldo embedded, or of Fox's pariah parade, its mothball fleet of experts who always turn out to be disgraced or indicted Republican refugees. If Ed Meese, Newt Gingrich and Elliott Abrams couldn't fill your sails with mirth, you could count on the recently deposed Viceroy of Virtue and High Regent of Rectitude, my old schoolmate Blackjack Bill Bennett.

With its red-faced, hyperventilating reactionaries and slapstick abuse of lame "liberal" foils who serve them as crash dummies, Fox News could easily be taken as pure entertainment, even as inspired burlesque of the rightwing menagerie. But the problem -- in fact, the serious problem - is that Fox isn't kidding, and brownshirts aren't funny.

Another ANNTHRAX attack - this time on Slate

A Vast Right-Wing Cry of Treason
In her new book, Ann Coulter gets McCarthy right—and makes conservatives mad.


How David Horowitz (her editor), Andrew Sullivan, and Dorothy Rabinowitz, among others, have been sternly giving Coulter history lessons, dredging up (once more) the anti-Communist credentials of Cold War liberals like Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Hubert Humphrey.

ANNTHRAX LOVES TO ENRAGE______The Typical Annthrax reader

THE BEST ATTACK ON TREASON IS TO USE ANNTHRAX WORDS PROPERLY.

ANNTHRAX: While undermining victory in the Cold War, liberals dedicated themselves to mainstreaming Communist ideals at home... Betraying the manifest national defense objectives of the country is only part of the left's treasonous scheme. They aim to destroy America from the inside with their relentless attacks on morality and the truth. (p. 289)
TRUTH BE TOLD: While undermining victory in the Cold War, Conservatives dedicated themselves to mainlining capital in Defense contracts at home. Betraying the true national defense objectives of the country is only part of the right’s treasonous scheme. They aim to destroy America from within with their relentless immoral theft of the nation’s wealth.

ANNTHRAX: As a rule of thumb, Democrats opposed anything opposed by their cherished Soviet Union. The Soviet Union did not like the idea of a militarily strong America. Neither did the Democrats! (p. 171)
TRUTH BE TOLD: As a rule of thumb, Republicans opposed everything proposed by their cherished Soviet Union. The Republicans did not like the idea of a weak Soviet Union so they overstated Soviet military capability at every turn. It was not until the Soviets impaled themselves on Afghanistan and broke their own bank that Republicans finally had to let go of the Soviets as a threat worthy of the horrendous spending on unnecessary defense.

ANNTHRAX: Democrats always had mysterious objections and secret "better" ways, which they would never tell us. Then they would vote whichever way would best advance Communist interests. (p. 177)
TRUTH BE TOLD: Republicans always had National Security and secret "Intelligence", which they would never tell us. Then they would vote whichever way would best advance their financial interests.

ANNTHRAX: Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn't slowed them down. (p. 16)
TRUTH BE TOLD: Whether they are overstating the capability of the Soviet Union or bleating against Saddam Hussein, Conservatives are always against America’s best interest in favor of their own financial interests. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant. Fifty years of treason hasn't slowed them down.

ANNTHRAX: By screaming about "McCarthyism," liberals would force the nation to "move on" from the subject of their own treachery. (p. 30)
TRUTH BE TOLD: By screaming about "Communism," Conservatives would force the nation to "move on" from the subject of their own treachery

ANNTHRAX: McCarthy's fundamental thesis was absolutely correct: The Democratic Party had fallen to the allures of totalitarianism. It was as if the Republicans had been caught in bed with Hitler. (p. 71)
TRUTH BE TOLD: McCarthy's fundamental thesis was absolutely incorrect: The Republican Party had fallen to the allures of greed and unlimited wealth. It was as if the Republicans had been caught in bed with Hitler.

ANNTHRAX: Stalinist spies were passing secret government files to Soviet agents, and the Treason Party sprang to action by vigorously investigating the precise words McCarthy had used in a speech to a women's Republican club in West Virginia. (p. 103)
TRUTH BE TOLD: If Stalinist spies were passing secret government files to Soviet agents, the Treason Party sprang to action by vigorously investigating Hollywood screenwriters who had attended meetings of socialist study groups one time in college to write a report.

ANNTHRAX: Liberals mock Americans who love their country, calling them cowboys, warmongers, religious zealots, and jingoists.
TRUTH BE TOLD: Rightwingnuts mock Americans who love their country, calling them tree-huggers, environmentalists, intellectuals, hippies, athiests, and peacenicks.

ANNTHRAX: Liberals demand that the nation treat enemies like friends and friends like enemies. We must lift sanctions, cancel embargoes, pull out our troops, reason with our adversaries, and absolutely never wage war--unless the French say it’s OK.
TRUTH BE TOLD: Rightwingnuts demand that the nation treat anyone who disagrees with them as enemies. We must sanction, embargo, send in the troops, forget negotiation, and always wage war -- especially if the French oppose it.

ANNTHRAX: One year after Osama bin Laden staged a massive assault on America, a Democratic senator was praising bin Laden for his good work in building ‘dare care centers.
TRUTH BE TOLD: Rightwingnuts attack a Democratic Senator for suggesting that Osama Bin Lauden had popularity with poor countries by building day care centers and schools.

ANNTHRAX: If liberals were half as indignant about Osama bin Laden as they were about President Bush, their objections might rate more with real Americans.
TRUTH BE TOLD: If Rightwingnuts were half as indignant about Corporate cheats who steal billions as they are about welfare cheats who steal hundreds they might rate more with real Americans.

ANNTHRAX, who calls liberals unpatriotic, says, “..no one is allowed to call liberals unpatriotic. Liberals relentlessly attack their own country, but we can’t call them traitors, which they manifestly are..” Didn’t she just call them traitors? “...because that would be ‘McCarthyism’, which never existed. Conservative pundit David Horowitz reminds readers in one of his columns that of course it existed; it’s the title of McCarthy’s own book!
TRUTH BE TOLD: No one is allowed to call Rightwingnuts unAmerican. Rightwingnuts relentlessly attack freedom in their own country, but we do not call them traitors, which those who are unAmerican may well be. They would call us traitors and communists and that would be McCarthyism.

ANNTHRAX: "When Clinton first showed his fat oleaginous mug to the nation, the Republicans screamed he was a draft-dodging, pot-smoking flim-flam artist. Had the Republicans turned out to be right again, it would have sounded the death knell for the Democratic Party. So the Democrats lied. Through their infernal politics of personal destruction, liberals stayed in the game for a few more years. And liberals will continue unabashedly invoking a lie in order to shield their ongoing traitorous behavior."
TRUTH BE TOLD. “When Coulter first showed her anorexic horse faced mug to the nation, the liberals screamed she was a vicious privileged self-promoting bitch. Had the Democrats turned out to be right again, it would have sounded the death knell for a whole host of Republican talking heads and pundits. So the Republicans lied. Through their unlimited supply of ill gotten gains they stayed in the game until now. Republicans will continue unabashedly invoking a lie in order to shield their ongoing gluttony and greed until they bankrupt America.”

ANNTHRAX on dealing with terrorism: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
TRUTH BE TOLD on dealing with lying vituperative authors “ We should invade their publishers and convert them to fact-checking and wholesale retractions”

ANNTHRAX: "The Democratic Party needs to have a lot more anti-war rallies in which Jesse Jackson embraces Ramsey Clark and liberals go around calling one another "comrade." The public cries out for the opinions of doddering old Stalinists in berets."
TRUTH BE TOLD. “The Republican Party needs to have a lot more pro war rallies in which Chickenhawks Bush and Cheney embrace anal cyst sufferer Rush Limbaugh and they go around in flight suits saluting one another and calling each other Sir.”

ANNTHRAX: "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
TRUTH BE TOLD: “Another regret with Tim McVeigh is that he might have chosen Crown Random House while Ann Coulter was in a meeting with her publisher”

ANNTHRAX: "The good part of being a Democrat is that you can commit crimes, sell out your base, bomb foreigners, and rape women, and the Democratic faithful will still think you're the greatest."
TRUTH BE TOLD. “The good part about being Ann Coulter is that you can falsely accuse people, sell out the truth for big bucks, trash democratic discourse, and rape any balance and exchange of ideas and opinions and the Republican faithful will still think you are the greatest.”
