In Defense of Ann Coulter

Our friend Pat Robertson isn't the only defender of the right under attack by the liberal media. Ann Coulter has been blasted from the left for turning the issue of aid to Haiti into a political one, decrying President Clinton as "the horny hick" and referring to his involvement in an attempt to help the millions suffering in Haiti as a "shame and embarrassment." Just as the liberals have decried Mr. Robertson, they have gone after Ms. Coulter without fully understanding her. I will attempt to explain.

In her new best seller Guilty, she says "Liberals always have to be the victims, particularly when they are oppressing others. Modern victims aren’t victims because of what they have suffered; they are victims of convenience for the Left." In other words, the liberals think the victims in Haiti are conveniently suffering to promote the liberal agenda. Swiftly, we are propelled from point A to point B. Point A: earthquake running full tilt to point B: political opportunity for liberals. She continues, "There’s no way to determine if an action is offensive by looking at the action. One must know who did it to whom, and whose side the most powerful people in America will take." She means that sending the "horny hick" to Haiti is offensive because powerful liberals sent him, and he will probably do something gross to embarrass the Godly.
