Coulter Versus Maher

March 4, 2007

From americanthinker.com:

Jerome Schmitt
In the uproar over Ann Coulter’s tasteless “joke” at the CPAC Conference, Bill Maher’s much more egregious call for Dick Cheney’s assassination and the applause of his audience have been ignored, as Newsbusters showed

As for Maher, I conclude that by lamenting that the assassination attempt failed — because he concluded it would “save lives” — Maher is indeed calling for further attempts.  But contrarily, if one were inclined to invert Maher’s twisted logic, one could propose that those who are not wholeheartedly in step with the war-effort are showing America’s disunity which only emboldens the Islamic terrorists to commit more car bombings etc.; thus the death of such an American anti-war advocate would “save lives”. 
Fortunately, I cannot remember seeing conservatives calling for assassination of America’s liberal politicians.

Do Liberals really want to invite a return of political violence to America?  Aren’t the lessons from the assassinations of Lincoln, JFK, MLK, RFK, and attempts on Ford and Reagan yet learned by the Left? 

Coulter comment was almost immediately denounced by leading Republicans including most of the presidential candidates.  It will be illuminating to see the response if any of Democrats to Maher’s awful comments, beginning with Barney Frank who was on Maher’s show.

    I couldn’t agree with you more on this.

    While I was personally mortified at Ms. Coulter’s tasteless remark, they are more than matched by the remarks of Mr. Maher and certainly equalled by the staffers of Sen. Edwards campaign.

    Where is the media on this issue? Well, they have their head buried somewhere.

    Bill Maher is a dumbass how is it ok for liberals wish death upon a conservative but when a conservative wishes death upon a liberal it is all of a sudden wrong? Please die in a fire Bill Maher. Anne Coulter owns him at least she doesn’t openly support the assassination of dick cheney.
