No, Moore is a joke who practically no one takes seriously. contrast that with leftist hate for conservative figures and theres no comparison

I cant really even think of anyone on the left who is taken nearly as seriously as Coulter et al

No, liar, I don't have an ambush for you. I told you she was wrong. I told you that if she had "good points" (not qualified in any way in your original claim) then there must be some, in your opinion, in her book on evolution. If you cannot defend the one book of hers where she makes factual claims in one of my areas of expertise why should I expect any of her claims, on anything, to hold up?

Actually the real reason you won't, I suspect, is you have never read any of her books and are relying on something you read about the recent book on Drudge or one of the other right wing blogs you get most of your pablum from.

If those people didn't irritate us on the left of center, they would not be as important to you on the right. Prior to the advent of Rush, then Fox, then Palin etc. our political discourse was much more courteous.

One would have to be seriously filled with hate to bore through 25,000 pages of emails looking for tidbits they can use to sling more shit towards Palin.

Ya think it'll take 25k pages to get to the emails to the director of transportation for Alaska? The ones where she uses her office to vindictively fire an in-law from the state police? Seriously, that's all the way at the end?
  Seriously, you think anybody with any common sense is going to read that via some NYT GUI?
  Dude, it's already out there on file sharing sites being sliced and diced for the juicy parts. Won't be any need for anybody who hates Sarah Palin to do anything but sit back and wait a few days. Sarah's in good hands, a couple hundred thousand kids with nothing better to do that bust balls are going to find whatever's worth reading and pass that around the world.
Nice though that people are that concerned about our reading workloads. That's mighty kind of you[8D]

Yes, the side of civility

Your side took a general dip in the intellectual department when Buckley died

Sarah Palin emails: Enemies sent a series of death threats


The release of 24,000 pages of Sarah Palin's emails shows that she received a barrage of abusive emails including death threats in the run up to the 2008 presidential race.

Explain, in the context of the quoted conversation, what you meant by the above statement.

The above context reveals how, in the minds of certain people who shall remain nameless, "civil discourse" means that dissent is effectively silenced, and that anyone who does dissent is obviously "intellectually inferior" and thus for all intents and purposes subhuman.

Well, yanno, on a civility scale ya gotta admit that subhuman is a lot nicer than demonic. [:D]

The point is that if leftists dont like their behavior being compared to that of riotous mobs then perhaps they should try to behave a little more civilly.

You're the one claiming she made good points. In an area where I am something of an expert she was spectacularly wrong. Why should I believe your claim when she is so completely wrong on the subject I do know about?

Not to defend Coulter (I've never read a single thing she's ever written) but ferchrissake, the proposition that if someone is found to be mistaken about some things one may safely judge them to be wrong about everything is just fucking batshit.

If everyone thought like that, nobody would bother reading your posts.
