political with an edge.

dianora2 found this quote for sharing:
Rep. Rahm Emmanuel said this on the House floor today:
"...as United States citizens, we are blessed with many freedoms; among those is the right to freely speak our minds. While freedom of speech is one of the things that makes our country great, it also means we have to endure the words of a hatemonger like Ann Coulter...But there is something more sinister in Ms. Coulter's words: The hate she spews is the same kind of hatred we're battling in the war on terror. As a country of thought and reason, I urge all of us to reject it. I must ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Does Ann Coulter speak for you when she suggests poisoning Supreme Court Justices or slanders the 9/11 widows? If not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman. She should apologize to all of us who've lost our fellow citizens."
Those if you who know me also know that I do NOT use the 'c' word lightly. In fact, I can only remember using it twice in the past five years. Make that three times, now, and twice for the same person. In honor of that, I shall henceforth not use that word, and instead call someone of that particular loathesome personality a 'coulter.'
It's not as short and snappy, but it still leaves the same disgusting and disgusted texture to any person of reasonable sensibility.
This woman is just purely cruel and loathesome, a publicity-seeking whore and hatemonger of the lowest, slimiest rock-crawling.
