Evil or Stupid?
There's a fun game one can play while reading Ann Coulter. Just
substitute her name whenever you come across the word liberal. Go
ahead, you try:
"A central component of liberal hate speech is to make paranoid
accusations based on their own neurotic impulses, such as calling
Republicans angry, hate-filled, and mean." (Slander, p. 19).
Neurotic impulses? Glass houses Ann?
"Liberals don't try to win arguments, they seek to destroy their
opponents and silence dissident opinions." (Slander, p. 91)
Again, sounds familiar. But the quote which recently attracted my
attention--and inspired this essay--is:
"Political debate with liberals is basically impossible in America
because liberals are calling names while conservatives are trying to
make arguments...It's really all the same lie [that liberals tell],
that conservatives are either stupid or scarily weird and therefore you
don't have to deal with their ideas."
So it's ok for conservative Ann Coulter to call liberals stupid or
evil, but it's darn mean for liberals to call conservatives stupid or
evil? If this is Coulter's idea of starting a "political debate" she's
better off sticking with invective. I don't know if she is blind to the
hypocrisy of her position or if she just doesn't care (or perhaps she
uses the old schoolyard claim "they started it first!"). Whatever her
internal rationalization, her words make her look pretty, uh, well, you
know. Stupid.
That's something Coulter really doesn't seem to understand. Your
opponents are not usually evil, they just see things differently than
you do. And that's normal, even healthy. Coulter's dinner guest, John
Lott, recognizes this. Elsewhere in Coulter's essay he tells her that
liberals simply believe in 'different facts' than he does, and that
makes them neither evil nor stupid. But Coulter doesn't get it.
Coulter sees the world in black and white. She's white (Connecticut
white) and everyone she doesn't like is black (New York black). You're
either a good conservative, or an evil liberal, there are no in
betweens. Or to quote from Coulter on "swing" voters:
This, in the end, is Coulter's most serious flaw as a pundit. She
believes that there are really only two kinds of people in the world:
those who agree with her and those who are evil and stupid liberals.
Only she, and those who agree with her, has a monopoly on goodness and
truth. If not stupid, at the very least this makes her very, very
blind. And her blind hatred of liberals makes her a bitter and nasty
voice on the political landscape. Dare I say, a force for evil?

Indeed, many/most Xians live peaceful lives and are at least moderately
tolerant of their neighbors. Yet they have bought into a belief system
that has SYSTEMATICALLY practiced GENOCIDE (racial, cultural,
ideological) on others; that has responded to internal challenges by
assaulting, enslaving, raping and/or killing its dissidents; that
provides excuses and rationales for viciously destructive conflicts.
The history of the practice of Xianity is utterly at odds with its
professed tenets; the hypocracy of believers is overwhelming and
disgusting. Those whose faith drives them to "good works" for the poor
and powerless may help atone for the past criminality, and I applaud
them. But rabid fundy jeezoids proclaim that "good works" don't matter,
that only FAITH (and only faith that is in total lockstep with their
agenda) leads to salvation. Such Xians are indeed comparable to Nazis.

The history of the practice of Xianity is utterly at odds with its
professed tenets; the hypocracy of believers is overwhelming and
disgusting. Those whose faith drives them to "good works" for the poor

them. But rabid fundy jeezoids proclaim that "good works" don't matter,
that only FAITH (and only faith that is in total lockstep with their

Just read "The girl who loved the svastika". Wow. Apart from a
hilarious revisionistic concept of history more based on what they
would like it to be than in reality (it looks like nazis were not
christians... who knew? And, of course, all americans in WWII were
caucasian) it could very well be a tale about a girl changing one sect
for another.
That's that's pure gold. Can't wait to read the rest.

The source of almost all of the 20th centuries problems can all be
traced back to the word "evil."
Evil is a form of implied censorship, used everytime someone wants us
to stop thinking about something, be it a: person(s)(to dehumanize),
idea or movement (to discredit), choice(to pressure us against), etc.
Anytime someone tries to use it, I think we should question their
motivation. Isn't it time we, as whole, moved on past this dogmatic
superstition?

I don't know what to think about the comics. They are worse in many
ways than the little Chick Religious comics they leave at fun booth's,
abortion clinics and bus stations. I had to risk posting this and bing
called a nazi or right wing christian which are both about the same.

Evil or Stupid?
There's a fun game one can play while reading Ann Coulter. Just
substitute her name whenever you come across the word liberal. Go
ahead, you try:
"A central component of liberal hate speech is to make paranoid
accusations based on their own neurotic impulses, such as calling
Republicans angry, hate-filled, and mean." (Slander, p. 19).
Neurotic impulses? Glass houses Ann?
"Liberals don't try to win arguments, they seek to destroy their
opponents and silence dissident opinions." (Slander, p. 91)
Again, sounds familiar. But the quote which recently attracted my
attention--and inspired this essay--is:
"Political debate with liberals is basically impossible in America
because liberals are calling names while conservatives are trying to
make arguments...It's really all the same lie [that liberals tell],
that conservatives are either stupid or scarily weird and therefore you
don't have to deal with their ideas."
So it's ok for conservative Ann Coulter to call liberals stupid or
evil, but it's darn mean for liberals to call conservatives stupid or
evil? If this is Coulter's idea of starting a "political debate" she's
better off sticking with invective. I don't know if she is blind to the
hypocrisy of her position or if she just doesn't care (or perhaps she
uses the old schoolyard claim "they started it first!"). Whatever her
internal rationalization, her words make her look pretty, uh, well, you
know. Stupid.
That's something Coulter really doesn't seem to understand. Your
opponents are not usually evil, they just see things differently than
you do. And that's normal, even healthy. Coulter's dinner guest, John
Lott, recognizes this. Elsewhere in Coulter's essay he tells her that
liberals simply believe in 'different facts' than he does, and that
makes them neither evil nor stupid. But Coulter doesn't get it.
Coulter sees the world in black and white. She's white (Connecticut
white) and everyone she doesn't like is black (New York black). You're
either a good conservative, or an evil liberal, there are no in
betweens. Or to quote from Coulter on "swing" voters:
This, in the end, is Coulter's most serious flaw as a pundit. She
believes that there are really only two kinds of people in the world:
those who agree with her and those who are evil and stupid liberals.
Only she, and those who agree with her, has a monopoly on goodness and
truth. If not stupid, at the very least this makes her very, very
blind. And her blind hatred of liberals makes her a bitter and nasty
voice on the political landscape. Dare I say, a force for evil?

These comics had a profound influence on me as a child, even when I was
able to view certain aspects with skepticism.
The story of Brother Andrew, an autobiographical novel before it became
a comic, is actually pretty inspiring even for those of us who don't
share his beliefs. There's a lot of courage in it. But I did notice, as
a kid, how BLOND all the heroic characters looked in the book.
For the record though, it is not only insulting but Coulter-like to
call protestant christians the equivalent of Nazis. Such a comparison
is neither helpful nor thoughtful nor accurate.

I am just mad at the people who say they are Christian, yet are all
excited and riotous about killing and torturing people in Iraq. Until
Bush came in office, and keeps mentioning god and mandate, feel most
are sitting by passively, and allowing bush and company to smear jesus
and christians and America's.
I was raped by a preist. Christians had thier inquisition deal, and
been bothering, earth people, natives and indigenous folks every chance
they get. So you add, killing for jesus, raping for jesus and
torturing, hell of a tradition there.

Indeed, many/most Xians live peaceful lives and are at least moderately
tolerant of their neighbors. Yet they have bought into a belief system
that has SYSTEMATICALLY practiced GENOCIDE (racial, cultural,
ideological) on others; that has responded to internal challenges by
assaulting, enslaving, raping and/or killing its dissidents; that
provides excuses and rationales for viciously destructive conflicts.
The history of the practice of Xianity is utterly at odds with its
