The fuss over Ann Coulter’s remarks about John Edwards highlights two major problems: the free pass given to liberal commentators, and the sheer wimpiness of liberals.
As an Associated Press article pointed out, nobody went nuts when liberal Bill Maher suggested that Dick Cheney’s death in a terrorist attack would be no loss. And as I recall, Rosie O’Donnell’s ridiculous comments equating American soldiers with terrorists would never have gotten any criticism had the liberal mainstream media not attacked conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck for her response to Rosie – at which point the MSM were compelled to air Rosie’s comments because they were the words that started the whole thing. It’s clear that the mainstream media, for the most part, are liberal sympathizers, stooges for the Democratic Party who view criticism of commentators as a one-way street. And the cherry on top of all this looniness? The fact that some people thought Coulter was serious about wanting Edwards killed by terrorists, when anyone with any sense and any experience observing Coulter knows that biting sarcasm is her sharpest weapon.
As for liberals’ level of toughness, I suggest they start eating spinach by the bucketful. Rosie, for example, can sure dish it out, but melts down when the opposition fires a return volley in her direction. But in all fairness, I’m sure that neither she nor any other liberals are used to playing defense, since the MSM have always been their willing soapbox and biggest enabler.
