A senseless (but predictable) personal attack.






I hate driving in Schaumberg.

Hey 8track,
you're fouling up the waters again....

Why don't you stay out of conversations that you have nothing constructive to add to?

Either agree with my post, disagree, or add something of value.

Quit stirring up trouble. You're starting to become a pest.

if you believe her, then you believe bush and vice versa.

it shows a definite mind set.

I quote you, and I'M fouling the waters.

Better check your personal PCP readings.

"becoming a pest" is better than being called a pest. Good thing too. It would have been your third personal attack of the evening.

That's not being very well rounded.

I still scratch my head at the reason you waste all this time and effort painting your vision of the world and propaganda on a discount cigar message board.

Isn't there a Egomaniacs Anonymous or an Aviators Without Borders where this information could be better used or acted upon?

(Is this were you are going to tell the great unwashed rabble how you are trying to edge-jew-kate us?)

The cool thing about Ann Coulter having a new book coming out is that some publishing company is going to score big time! I see that as a potential investing opportunity, especially in an election year. Sure, Ann already got her $3 million or so in advance fees but now its time for the publisher to cash in.

So Ann's book is published by some little no-name called Crown Forum. This looks real promising until I see they're owned by the much bigger publisher named Random House. I'm thinking that still has some merit until I discover that Random House is actually owned by Bertelsmann AG. Bertelsmann AG is a huge German media company and Random House is less than 10% of their revenue. Oh well, Ann's book is just a blip on their balance sheet.

Just another fine American company sold out to fer'ners and they're profiting off Ann Coulter. I applaud them.

Drathaar...
General courses? Now you are the one being insulting.
I have a BA in Biology, independent research in Biochemistry, two years of post graduate studies in Biochemistry and an MBA. I went beyond general courses 10 years ago.

Earlier this wasn't about "what's in the news" this was about your particular feelings that you were being persecuted as a republican. Now you have resorted to "I heard in the news". What is in the news is likely Horowitz's activities (regarding Universities at least) and is immediately suspect. I have a few things to ask you, if you think this is really a problem.
1) What about existing textbooks is inaccurate? (there are of course inaccuracies, but I would like to know which ones are anti right-wing)

2) How would liberals get whipped on an even playing field if the point of the exercise is the learn? Assuming we are in a college course, and the goal of the course is to learn what the professor is teaching and show that we have learned it (through tests and essays)... how is this biased against republicans? This is as bad as people saying that the SATs are biased against blacks (yes, I said it... I don't believe that BS either)

3) Identify one instance where a student with a right-wing bent has sucessfully (or even slightly sucessfully) shown the professor discriminated against them and gave them a lower grade than they deserved. And keep in mind, this has to be more sophisticated than "Professor X doesn't like me and gave me a bad grade!!" That didn't work for me in grade school, and shouldn't work for adults in college.

I would argue that the best universities have people from both schools of thought. As I said before, JHU had a strong right wing contingency. As do most of the ivy league schools. As long as we are talking about private universities, they will have the philosophy which their market demands. If there are more "liberal" colleges than conservative, this may be because more people who go to school are demanding this of their university and are willing to pay for it.

Keep in mind, if you are equating liberal with "not accepting hook line and sinker the right-wing agenda" then almost every college is liberal. The idea behind a university is that no one's ideas are irrefutable. This is acceptable in most liberal views, and therefore not disputed by liberals.

You Know,
I think Anns work, is great entertainment. She says some inflamitory things, that are sensationalized to the max. Though her citations, are just an example of what she describes, but really doesn't do much to support her entire arguement. If you want the news, find another source. If you want entertainment, then read Anns book. Don't look for concrete facts, but she does have some interesting things to say, and she will make you think. I myself enjoy her books, but I always enjoy a conspiracy theory. I look at her the same way I look at Rush Limbaugh, or Al Franken, from the opposite end of the spectrum.
I see where Drathaar posted that Liberals don't use citations, or footnotes, but I just pulled a liberal book at random, it was Al Frankens "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. (A Fair and Balenced look at the right.)" Wow a 12 page bibliography. So much for that theory. I found that book to be an intertaining read, with some interesting, cited theories. But it is just entertainment. But I will be at the bookstore this week, and will buy Anns' new book. I love a good read, and she does a good job. But anyone who takes what she, or Al Franken, writes, as the truth, is out of touch with reality. Thanks for alerting me to its' release, I can't wait to pick it up.

Senator Paul Wellstone (one of those liberal college professors that teach politcal science at none other than Carleton College), has been referred to as "the most liberal man in America."

He is one of Random House's biggest sellers of liberal books that he authors.

Wow.....Ann Coulter herself is colleagues with the liberal media master. I wonder if they tip glasses of Krug together at publishing parties as they dip their crackers in caviar and toast the middle class that buy their books?

One day I hope to get invited to a Random House publishing party. So far, I've never been, but I have been to a party thrown by McGraw Hill.

I have a friend that uses Random House.....I'll ask him to invite me to their next shindig. I sincerely will give it my best effort to toss a root at Ms Coulter and give her a good old fashioned shagging out in the flower garden where we'll sneak off to smoke a joint.

That'd be pretty cool.

I see your true colors
Shining through....

So doomi, you read Coulter do you? I guess that's why you can only copy and paste reviews...and use AL FRANKEN as a source! You think I haven't seen that "review" of her facts before? Wow, you really do think I'm dumb. Good, that works to my advantage. You misunderestimate me 🙂

The footnote controversy is overblown to say the least. There were 2, count them - 2, minor errors in the footnotes. That's what happens when you listen to Frankin.

So what Coulter books have you read? I'm going to quiz you. I have all of them, one's even autographed.

vic,

Don't be so daft. Everyone has to take General Courses their first two years in college.

So you don't watch the news eh? Your loss. And as usual doo...vic, you are wrong. Earlier this thread was about Republicans getting the shaft in college, not just me. I used me as an example.

1. History. The national average for Republicans in college History Departments is 0. Zero. Who writes the books? The professors. If you haven't read one lately, pick one up at any college bookstore.

2. Elections.

3. I already did, and it was my English teacher. She tried to fail me after I joined the College Republicans. Luckily I kept all copies of all my work. Then she tried to blame it on attendance. I was late twice and missed a grand total of 2 classes. I missed the classes because I had to be in court to fry a drunk driver who hit me (a pedestrian) in a parking lot and drove off. Valid excuse.

Oh, and Godless isn't be published on 6/6/06. Its being released on that date. (doomi, #74)

Drathaar,
I don't read Franken. I never have. I also don't watch commentary programs on the news. I don't consider them to be news. You see, I'm out in the world...the global world. I don't have sirius, nor teevo (or whatever it's called), and I don't watch reality tv. I'm in the global economy, and I watch the "news." I read on airplanes since I travel. My world is not near as shallow as yours I don't think.

You're going to quiz me on books? Gee that's grand. And to think I did 5 years of post-graduate thesis research in an extremely demanding Doctoral program......all so that I could be quizzed by a guy with a couple of night classes under his belt. I could've saved $200K in student loans! After you're done quizzing me, can I quiz you on Søren Kierkegaard's published works on Existentialism? It makes about as much sense as you quizzing me on some silly money-making fiction authors books.

Why don't you post a list here for us all on ALL of the books you have read recently?

You should send a contribution to Ms Coulters website. She needs some new short skirts, and your just the type that will help her to buy them.

You are one silly silly cat do you know that?

adroomi,

IMHO
Never try to persuade someone who is sure they are right.
It's a waste of time.

Allbidness,
Okay...... 😞

(dang! another voice of reason taking away all my fun!)

Maybe the news hasn't made it out yet globally Adroomi, but Wellstone died just over 4 years ago in plane crash. Maybe if you watched the news once in while instead just being "out in the world globally" you would know that.

If you do get to meet him at a party, I wouldn't shake his hand. At this point it's likely to come off. Maybe you can come to my ring of fire party this October, we have it every year in his honor. Kinda.


How do you know about Coulter lying on MSNBC and O'rielly lying about the same thing if you've never watched? The crap on those blue blogs is only useful if you stay there. If you take it out in the real world (globally or not) you might be asked for the truth.

As far as you 200,000 in sudent loans goes, I'd want a refund. You cant keep up with me, much less a guy that took some night classes.

Wow doomi, why don't you just admit you never read one of Ann's books? You don't get to quiz me because I never said I read a book when I didn't. You want my degrees doomi, look them up. As I said before, its posted here. I don't look anything up for you anymore because you NEVER back anything up. You aren't worth the time.

So now you're saying if someone doesn't travel the world their world is shallow? Wow. You're more egotistical (and shallow) than I thought. You are, and I mean this politely, - ok, I had to backspace. Suffice it to say you are a waste of space.

So Mr. World Traveller Ladies Man, I have a question for you. If you're so busy being the World economy, travelling and picking up all these women you paid to take...I mean you asked to take pictures with, how is it you have soooooooo much time to spend on a message board? Most of us are married and stay home. You are single and should be payin...I mean picking up women for dates.

Hey I just thought of something. You're over 30, dress well, and single. According to Seinfeld, you're gay. Have you come to grips with it yet? Oops, grip is probably the wrong word to use eh?

Oh, and do you even look at the source when you're copying and pasting? You quoted Al Franken. Damn, you do need a refund.

Adroomi, thanks for trying. Allbidness is right.

This thread has ruined my day. You'd think that today of all days, some people might have something other than hate in their hearts.

I think I'll stick to the bid boards and smoke my cigars in peace.

B

Well, bye...

How did the thread ruin your day? You didn't read it if you saw hate on anyone's part but Adroomi and friends.

Guess adroomi isn't as well rounded as he claimed to be earlier in the same post.

Guess things change.
