Good Will Hinton Conversations: Is It Possible to Have Civility in Political Discussions?

[TrooperRaven]

I am not sure I understand your basis for impugning Ann Coulter's character. A concrete example where Ann Coulter displayed hatred would be appreciated.

[willhinton]

When does Ann Coulter NOT show hatred towards liberals? She seems to excuse her atrocious behavior by claiming that what she says in true. The truth of her claims do not negate the nastiness and apparent lack of love that she shows to those she disagrees with.

[TrooperRaven]

I only asked for a single concrete example. Just one.

[willhinton]

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much." -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration

How's that?

[TrooperRaven]

I guess I should have requested that any example given be in context.

If you want to be fair, search YouTube for, "Ann Coulter Beats Up Matt Lauer". Skip ahead to 5:15 in to the video. This is where Matt asks the question of Ann about the quote you cited from her book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism".

Listen carefully to the exchange and specifically to Coulter's reason for her attack on a SPECIFIC group of 9/11 widows,

[willhinton]

Coulter's response to Lauer doesn't change the fact that she is showing hatred in her statement. I guess I hold her to a higher standard since she claims to be a Christian. I'm not going to say she isn't but I wonder what she thinks about the command to love our enemies?
