For those of you keeping track, here are some people the Lex admires, is amused by, and defends:

1. Paris Hilton
2. Ann Coulter

― nabisco, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Whereas here are some people the Lex finds to be repulsive racist homophobes:

1. Guitar players

If only Hitler had a vagina, then he'd be off moderating a neo-Nazi website somewhere instead of gradually turning into the amoral know-nothing version of Geir Hongro.

More great stufffrom Jon Swift

...So every time that Coulter or others like her say things that conservatives would never say in public, it gives conservatives another opportunity to show how much better we are than liberals. As conservatives, we can all look forward to what outrageous thing Coulter will say at the next CPAC because it will give us a chance to show that we are not nearly as bad as she is and to accuse liberals of being insufferable hypocrites...

Andrew Sullivan's got an OTM analysis of her today on his blog.

He and Greenwald have written the two best exegeses.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I've never read Greenwald before - that's a great essay.

The Coulter/Hannity/Limabugh-led right wing is basically the Abu Grahib rituals finding full expression in an authoritarian political movement. The reason people like Rush Limbaugh not only were unbothered, but actually delighted and even tickled by, Abu Grahib is because that is the full-blooded manifestation of the impulses underlying this movement -- feelings of power and strength from the most depraved spectacles of force. The only real complaint from Bush followers about the Commander-in-Chief is that he has not given them enough Guantanamos and wars and aggression and barbaric slaughter and liberty infringement. Their hunger for those things is literally insatiable because they need fresh pretexts for feeling strong.

And that is where Ann Coulter comes in and plays such a vital -- really indispensible -- role. As a woman who purposely exudes the most exaggerated American feminine stereotypes (the long blond hair, the make-up, the emaciated body), her obsession with emasculating Democratic males -- which, at bottom, is really what she does more than anything else -- energizes and stimulates the right-wing "base" like nothing else can. Just witness the fervor with which they greet her, buy her books, mob her on college campuses. Can anyone deny that she is unleashing what lurks at the very depths of the right-wing psyche? What else explains not just her popularity, but the intense embrace of her by the "base"?

Sorry, wrong thread. Although maybe Ann would have had a better chance of contributing something to society had she had a shot at the Heather Thomas role.

Even half of the townhallers are decrying her publicly, for what good that is

That Greenwald thing is marginally convincing until you start thinking about it. Was Limbaugh, as unreconstructed as he is, really "tickled" by Abu Ghraib? Does Ann Coulter really exude "the most exaggerated American feminine stereotypes"? That analysis is long on hyperbole and short on insight.

I think Ann Coulter's popularity is more easily explained by the simple fact that she fills an under-exploited niche in the punditry: the young(ish), attractive, sort-of-hip female conservative (the male version of Tucker Carlson, if you will - not that I find him attractive, but some do).

― o. nate, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

That should have read "the female version of Tucker Carlson", obviously.

― o. nate, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

her appeal is that she's a conventionally attractive woman who speaks in snarky soundbites, its not really any more complicated than that.

see limbaugh frat pranx abu ghraib remarks

I'm not certain that's obvious at all.

Did he ever make any statement indications that he wasn't?

― JW, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Downplaying Abu Ghraib is one thing - actively enjoying it, something else.

― o. nate, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

dude he compared it to hilarious fun enjoyable frat pranx

The "tickled by" phrase in the original essay links to this:

i would say i've definitely heard conservatives 'actively enjoying' abu ghraib

"I'm talking about people having a good time, these people [CIA agents and MPs at Abu Ghraib], you ever heard of emotional release? You heard of need to blow some steam off?" Limbaugh asked a caller. "This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation and we're going to ruin people's lives over it and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time."

― JW, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

[i]"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation, and we're going to ruin people's lives over it, and we're going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You [ever] heard of need to blow some steam off?"[/]

I don't even wanna think about what the fuck Rush Limbaugh personally enjoys or "has fun" doing
