Indeed I have heard a lot of her 'Work' Quoted, I had seen the new Asshole Franken ripped into her, but it was only ever the second time I can recall seeing her in action....

It is scary, that people like this can be taken seriously.

The US should thank Canada! Canada has to deal with Quebec. The US doesn't.

You can download it to disk if you have Quicktime Pro, which you have to pay for. Why you would want to keep that on your disk I don't know. She really pushes the boundaries of freedom of speech . Yikes, that woman needs a lesson in humility like none I've ever seen before.

In the second part of that clip, for you non-Canadians, Caroline Parrish was the Canadian politician being interviewed by Tucker Carlson. She's made a name for herself saying that she hates Americans (she was heard uttering "I hate those bastards", and referred to W. as an "idiot" before stomping on a doll in his likeness on a national TV show, before finally being barred from the Liberal caucus), and is now essentially a political nonentity, valuable only for the caricature that is her public persona. Kind of like Coulter, but even less relevant, and not nearly as hot.

Okay, so Coulter's right that Canada needs the US more than they need us. But you don't have to sound like such a nickel-plated bitch about it, and you don't expect us to get down on our knees and thank the Merkins for letting us continue to exist. Does she say this shit just to make news, or because she fails the protocol of brain works, mouth opens?
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.

SCRawl I hope to god that it's just to make print but... For some strange reason when I hear her say those words, and see her talk, I actually believe that this is the way her mind works...

Which gets me to thinking, has anyone ever asked her if she believes in the principles of Democracy... not 'Do you believe in Democracy' but to start asking her some basic I don't know questions such as 'Joe Blogs believes in the Marxist state, he hs never conducted nor advocated the violent overthrow of the current state, just a slow movement towards said state... Should he be allowed to produce material for public access?'

When I see her stuff and now hear her talk I could see her failing to support just about everyone of the Principles of Democracy... Does anyone think I'm over-reacting here?

Western countries are founded on principles besides just democracy. Pure, unfettered democracy is nothing more than mob rule. That's why we try to balance democracy against constitutional law.

Conceeded Wong, I Will alter my point above to say erm... the guidning principles of the USA as established under say the Constitution and Decleration. I was over-simplyfying with saying Democracy.

Sorry, I wasn't just trying to nitpick. I don't believe Coulter has a problem with democracy per se, but she does clearly have a problem with many of the principles upon which the USA was founded. Specifically, it is quite obvious that she believes Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were idiots.

Nah I saw your point right away, and agree, I was making a very similar mistake as is being made in another thread where freedom and Democracy are being used interchangably, it's not a nitpick I agree.
