I can't watch youtube from work anymore. Anything memorable that can be typed out or linked?

Tee-hee.

Posted by Christine (Member # 8594) on :

Yep. If you're going to go on TV and pretend you know what you're talking about, it helps to check your facts. [Smile]

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

She's talking about how Canada used to be America's best friend and greatest supporter, and no longer is. She wrongly states that Canada sent troops to Viet Nam. When she is corrected on this point, she says over and over again "I think you're wrong," thus embarassing herself.

I'm not entirely sure that this is possible.

In other "news", according to Bill O'Reilly, lesbian gangs are taking over America.

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

Oh man, and I was trying to be as neutral as possible in my description. She seemed embarassed.

edit: I mispelled "embarrassed". This is cause for embarrassment.

Posted by MrSquicky (Member # 1802) on :

Oh, I didn't watch it. I just assumed that she has lost any sense of shame and thus was unable to be embarrassed.

Posted by Mucus (Member # 9735) on :

The response is interesting.

Thats the first time I saw a reporter Godwin themselves [Wink]

According to this article on wikipedia Ann Coulter may not have been entirely wrong.

However, I think she still was talking without knowing the facts.

Not to mention the pink guns!

Bill O'Reilly (Reporter): When they recruit these kids, are they indoctrinating them into homosexuality?

Rod Wheeler (Crime Analyst): Yes!

I think that this is the full documentary
if you want to listen to the whole thing
in context.

Read it again.

I didn't say she was correct in stating that. I pointed out the article to show that there were some arguments in her defense...albeit, VERY weak arguments.

Then we have an accord. [Party]

Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :

I got a kick out of watching this too.

Nothing like Ann Coulter just getting completely sidelined and ignored.

Afghanistan is "going swimmingly"? Osama Bin Laden is "irrelevant"? What world does she live in?

Posted by Vamp96 (Member # 9030) on :

Cool [Smile]

I didn't mean to be snippy.

I'm sorry, but unless the 7-up spots are at a Pirate-only costume party, you do not, in fact, have an accord (though I've heard they get good gas mileage).

Basically Ann tried to use Bugs Bunny reverse psychology and hoped that he would turn around and say, "you're right they did send troops to Vietnam."

Has the world gone completely insane? (I'm referring to O'Reilly and the 'detective', not the story.)

A classic for fox bashers. [Wink]

What, this comment, or Ann Coulter in general?

I'm sorry, but that's just frikkin' hilarious. There is a gay gun rights group called "Pink Pistols", but my guess is that they heard about the group and made up a whole story to go with the phrase.

Colmes lets her finish? No wonder he doesn't get as much time to talk as Hannity.

Apparently O'Reilly lives in a Tarrantino movie. Which explains a few things, I guess.

Since when is Coulter being a loon any sort of news?

For the record... Huh?

Posted by steven (Member # 8099) on :

Honda Accord, TL. I...think.

Posted by Lord Solar Macharius (Member # 7775) on :

I think it's because the little dancing guys look like Cool Spot, the only video game ever created from a Soda (7-UP). Add to that the pirate-ish use of "accord" and their partying... and I'm still as confused as you are.

[Dont Know]

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

What is pirate-ish about the word "accord"?

I mean, it's not a pirate word. It's just a regular word.

Posted by Chris Bridges (Member # 1138) on :

But it was used prominently in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so...

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

So that's why all those so called Draft Dodgers went to Canada in the 60's. They wanted a better chance to get in on the war.

Posted by Primal Curve (Member # 3587) on :

Wow, so subtle it wasn't even funny.

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

This is the only way I tolerate that woman.
