Have you noticed the inherent dishonesty emanating from the right? Whether it is about history, debt, or reasons for war, they can’t help themselves. They are simply dishonest. They even lie by omission. A prime example is the right-wing blond assassin, Ann Coulter. She tells only part of a story and leaves out critical facts that would invalidate her whole argument. In her warped right-wing world, that passes for valid debating tactics. Coulter has spent her career attacking the politics of people like Max Cleland, Christopher Reeves, Cindy Sheehan and now the 911 widows by claiming we should ignore their views because of their victim status. She stated that she had never seen anyone enjoying their husband’s death so much then called them witches. In essence she is saying, “How dare the left put up arguments that we can’t respond to.” Pat Robertson has stated that he can leg lift 2,000 pounds and if we acknowledge the separation of church and state then the fire department won’t respond to church fires. They don’t want to engage in a real debate on the issues. They just want to distort, lie, smear and attack, the way the Republican Party and swift boat liars do during campaigns. Coulter has said, “Do I have to become a paraplegic or kill my own Mother to play the victim card the way many Dems do.” She feels that these victims of tragedy don’t deserve to have political opinions because they are viewed as infallible but it doesn’t seem to keep her from attacking them. The deafening silence from Republicans is stunning. Mary Matalin basically defends what Coulter has said and when Rudolf Giuliani was asked about Coulter’s comments on the 911 widows he refused to comment. That pretty much says it all. Why doesn’t the right openly reject her? They continue to use straw man arguments with no basis in reality. Is there a political group in this country more pathetically dishonest and despicable? I don’t think so but hey, I could be wrong.
