The Grain of Truthiness
By Make sure to read Lance’s proper and appropriate excoriation of Elspeth Reeve’s defense of Ann Coulter. I really wonder if there’s something in the water at the New Republic that makes people think “Hmm. I’m kind of liberal, but I really can’t stand liberals. What can I do to demonstrate that?” Lapdog Kaus has, of course, leapt on Reeve’s defense as proving that “there’s a grain of truth” in what Ann Coulter says. Let’s see if we can find the grains of truth in the following:
“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.”
“It’s no surprise they want Saddam Hussein back. He made the Democrats seem moderate by comparison.”
“My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”
“I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.”
