Why? Because I like to read what “the other side” has to say. I don’t know many conservatives who will sit down and read a liberal column, but that’s just my limited experience. In her latest piece, Ms. Coulter writes,
Among his other pointless carping about the war in Iraq, Kerry keeps claiming the military is overextended. His supporters claim Bush has a secret plan to bring back the draft. Whatever happened to all those gays who wanted to join the military? We haven’t heard a peep out of them lately. How about rounding up a “Coalition of the Fabulous,” Sen. Kerry? And what does his good pal Mary Cheney tell him about that?
Is it just me, or does there seem to be some rather rabid homophobia in that? The implied benefits are:
- “Those gays” will finally shut up about being able to join the military.
- A lot of them will get killed in the war — dead gays are always a good thing.
- All gays speak with a lisp and say everything is “fabulous.”
Perhaps I’m missing an insinuation.
This is from the same “pundit” who said that women, themselves, should have the right to vote rescinded.
Reading Coulter is not so much reading “the other side” as it is “the far side”.
