UPDATE: Silky’s wife pleads: The way to stop Coulter is by giving us money…Major Media Play Up Mrs. Edwards Decrying Coulter’s ‘Hate’ — But What About Marcotte?

Silky’s wife pleads: The way to stop Coulter is by giving us money Updated

Tim Graham will tell you:

More importantly, no one seems to be questioning Elizabeth Edwards attacking Coulter for the “language of hate” when the Edwards campaign hired Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan as official bloggers, who attacked “Christofascists,” smeared Pope Benedict as a dictator, and mocked the core doctrines of Christianity as excuses for misogyny. Mrs. Edwards was a player in hiring those feminist bloggers and their language of hate. Why is the liberal media ignoring the pot calling the kettle black?

Background of that little episode that they couldn’t use for fundraising purposes can be found here, here, here and here. So I guess Elizabeth Edward’s was for the hate speech before she was against it? Flip/Flop Flip/Flop

Here is what was said to set off the latest Edward’s fundraiser:

ANN COULTER (POLITICAL COMMENTATOR)

Though about the same time Bill Maher said – and by the way, I did not call John Edwards the F-word. I said I couldn’t talk about him because you go into rehab for using that word.

CHRIS CUOMO (ABC NEWS)

(Off-camera) You say you were you – you were joking.

ANN COULTER (POLITICAL COMMENTATOR)

About the – oh yeah. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I’ve learned my lesson. If I’m gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.

    I viewed the clip at Raw Story and found it more than entertaining. More often than not, Coulter makes me crazy. Occasionally I find her entertaining and less often I find her analysis on point. Probably due to the difficulty in paying attention between her tactical rants. Let’s be honest, Marcotte and her share some common tactics.
    And this will be even more of a heretical statement if I claim to be independent or right leaning. I gave Mrs Edwards some credit for the light sparring the two did during the video. The funny thing was she showed more moxie than her husband ever has. Of course, that comparison doesn’t place the bar very high.

    Well said Stanford…I used to like Coulter, but I just can’t tolerate the nastiness…that being said, i agree that if you do look to the core, she makes some very good points..I loved the jab about the fundraising and charging $55000 for a speech about poverty….:razz:

    I was listening to the Glenn Beck Show on the radio and he played Coulter’s comment in context and it shows that both Elizabeth Edwards and Chris Matthews were both offbase in claiming that Coulter wanted Edwards to die in a terrorist attack when in fact, taken in context, she was pointing out the hypocrisy that allow Maher to say such things about VP Cheney and not be vilified by the MSM while they attack conservatives for doing the same thing or perceived same thing. Matthews should have done his research better but apparently he was confused by the facts.

    Hi, I’m one of the destinations of your Trackpost. I’ve been coming and reading everyone who has trackposted to my site, so here I am.:smile:

    I’m wondering what’s wrong with the term “Christofascist”? We have “Islamofascists” as people who want to impose an ultra-conservative form of Islam on socieities, by force if necessary. So someone who has the same beliefs and goals with respect to ultra-conservative Christianity would be a Christofascist. I’m not giving that title to anyone in particular, but still…there are some nasty authoritarian individuals who claim to represent Christianity…

    :lol: sorry, but where is the rofl laughing icon.

    “Christofascists” are just as evil as “Islamofacists”. Get off your holy roller coaster– you got no rep to march upon.

    To #9: – because Christians don’t have a policy of killing everyone who doesn’t convert. And don’t refer back to the Crusades (the original intent of which were to drive the Muslim invaders out of Europe) or the Spanish Inquisition et al, which flew the banner of Christianity, but were not truly Christians.

    Just to remind you…

    “christofacists” have not, to my knowledge, been responsible for even one single airplane hijacking..let alone dozens

    “christofacists” have not, to my knowledge, been responsible for suicide bombings of women and children on public buses

    “christofacists” have not, to my knowledge, beheaded civilians

    enough with the moral relativism, you nutjob.

    Until and unless I see evidence to the contrary, there are no such thing as “Christofascists.”

  26. Mike Kilo
    July 2, 2007 - 01:24 PM on July 2nd, 2007

    nor is there any such thing as the “religion of peace”

    or “moderate muslims” (when they start condemning terror, and actually helping us FIND and kill the animals.. I may change my mind)

  27. Susanna Harriff
    July 3, 2007 - 11:31 AM on July 3rd, 2007

    #16 – there are moderate Muslims who do condemn terrorism; however, their voice doesn’t get to the MSM. There would probably be more, except that they fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones at the hands of the radical Muslims. An internet acquaintance of mine is married to a Muslim who belongs to one of the moderate sects (there are also some “secular” Muslims); her “master teacher” has spoken out against the terrorists, and for his pains, family members who were still living in a Muslim country were executed. As it is, the radical Muslims are still the main spokesmen for Islam.

    “…or the Spanish Inquisition et al, which flew the banner of Christianity, but were not truly Christians.”

    BAM! Right there is an example of an idividual unable to take logic to the next step with this thought.

    If there were christians like those in the Inquisition who did terrible deeds in the name of Christ, but are “not truly christians“…why can’t there be muslims who do terrible deeds in the name of Allah, but are also “not truly Muslim“????!!!

    My god, it’s so simple to understand…but so many refuse to get it.

    There are over 1 billion peaceful muslims around the world. A very, very, very small fraction of these muslims are violent extremists.

    Apparently, the numbers confirm that Islam actually IS a religion of peace. If they weren’t, we ALL be f*cked, like, yesterday.
