    Clicks. Ann has jumped the shark.

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I just watched the conversation. It was quite an intelligent one I think.

        In other words, the original post was heavily selectively edited?

              "I'd never vote for you because you're black."

              "What?"

              "Well, you don't have my values."

              "What???"

              Vivek really looked good.

              Annie? See you next Thursday.

                  Did you watch the whole interview, @George-K ? I’m only about 1/3 of the way through, but it feels like she isn’t saying she wouldn’t vote for him because he’s Indian, but because he’s first generation. Her argument is based more on the idea that many American Ideals aren’t really fully comprehended by 1st generation or even 2nd generation Americans. I’m not saying I agree with her at all, in fact I don’t, but it’s not the racist argument that it’s being portrayed as.

                    Oh, I agree. I don't see it's racist. My analogy of Black Americans might be off. However, I'll defend it by asking whether she thinks that Black Americans "get" the WASP culture and embrace it. I'd guess the answer is "no."

                    I see it as phenomenally ignorant.

                    That's a set of one, of course, but I think I'm fairly representative of 1st generation Americans - at least in understanding what "American ideals" are.

                    For a supposedly smart woman, she sure came off stupid.

                      Ah, but you’re also of Lithuanian heritage, right? Lithuanians are primarily Catholic, but aren’t really and truly Roman Catholics. Protestantism was actually quite a strong force in Lithuania in the 1600s. It was eventually stomped out hard, but the ideals were pervasive throughout the society

                            That may be the case. However, my parents took me to Roman Catholic schools and churches until I was in high school. I went to a Roman Catholic high school.

                            ETA: Are Roman Catholic values different from the values that Coulter endorses?
