Ann Coulter is to the right as (fill in the blank) is to the left???

[RiverStone]

If Ann Coulter is a spokesperson for the rightie wackos, then who do we have on the left (with equal MSM attention) to shut this asshat up?

In the last few years Liberal Talk Radio has staked out territory; that rocks, yet it seems we still have a shortage of leftie attack dogs that have an equivalent high profile with the MSM. Is that a good thing or not? Ann spouts such hate mongering sewage that it is almost not worth a response, though today I was seeking someone to simply put her in her place --- loudly and before all to see.

The closest I can identify to a very visible and extremely capable attack dog on our side is Keith Olbermann. Though it is hard to image someone as bright as him wasting too much breath on Coulter.

If we must lower our standards and fight on her level --- who do you see as someone best able to give her a proverbial ass kicking?

[Vincardog]

1. Mike Moore?

[redqueen]

2. oh not even. n/t

[Catchawave]

13. Not Mikey, he's too nice.

I don't think we have any vile and despictable lefties?

[Vincardog]

20. WE do not need to be vile to be best able to give her a proverbial ass kicking

[theoldman]

3. There are no bitches like Ann in the left.

[Warpy]

17. Sure there are

and male assholes, too. They just don't get airtime.

4. Ann Coulter is the sock

I'm not sure who she's schilling for in reality, but it is obvious she doesn't really believe the shit she spews. She's just a media whore who will say anything. She's a political Paris Hilton, no job, no ability, no potential. Just a lake of petulance.

5. Jiang Qing, who orchestrated the Cultural Revolution?

As far to the left as Coultergeist is the the right, and just as apeshit crazy.

[Elspeth]

9. She "reformed" Chinese opera.

She destroyed its inner integrity as an art form.

6. Darn.!!! i flushed a really good example this morning..

[Ken Burch]

7. Nobody right now.

We have some folks who can be tough verbal fighters, but our folks just don't have it in them to see slander, verbal abuse and lies and legitimate weapons in the struggle.

Liberals, progressives, those of us who call ourselves leftists tend to reject the "end justifies any means" position.

[RiverStone]

11. Is that good or not?

I agree Ken, hard to justify using Coulter-like tactics which degrade everyone.

Yet this scenario reminds me of advising kids at school to simply ignore the school yard bully --- but ya know eventually if that bully keeps picking on and taunting kids, someone needs to deck him.

Do you think Ann simply needs that?

[Ken Burch]

14. What we need is somebody to fight back with equal fire, equal strength, equal relentlessness.

Coulter and her ilk can be faced down with toughness, determination, and confidence.

And it means ignoring the Beltway types who STILL say "we CAN'T be loud and strong and STAND FOR THINGS and stuff!"

It's about learning how to say "Hell YES!"

[RiverStone]

16. YES!!! I nominate Keith Olbermann! Add Wes Clark...

At least Keith has a spot reserved on MSNBC already.

I totally dug the way Wes took on Bill O'Reilly recently.

[Canuckistanian]

8. Hmm, hard to say

But in terms of "kicking ass", I'd have to say Mike Malloy.

He gives no quarter, suffers no fools and takes no prisoners.

[GaYellowDawg]

10. No one.

There's no one on the left who spews her kind of vicious invective. No one. Who on the left launches those kinds of personal attacks that she does?

Ann Coulter has no counterpart, and I'm grateful. I wouldn't want someone using her methods saying anything I agreed with.

[wellst0nev0ter]

12. Baader-Meinhoff?

Although admittedly they haven't gotten as much sychophantic media exposure as Coultergeist.

[Junkdrawer]

15. Stalin. n/t

[nam78_two]

18. Ted Rall?

:shrug:

[Emit]

19. The Rude Pundit? n/t
