This is a platform to comment on local, state and national politics and political news. A special area of interest is the role of corporate media in politics as we move closer and closer to one huge corporation owning all of the media outlets in the country and stifling all independent and critical voices. It will also focus on the absurd 30-plus year Nixonesque political strategy of the “liberal media” lie. This blog is on temporary hiatus because of my job and thin-skinned Republicans.

Coulter continues to say decency and respect does not apply to her
Just days after rightwing hatemonger and bigot Ann Coulter’s disgusting attack on Presidential Candidate Sen. John Edwards the queen of hate was telling people she can say what ever disgusting and hateful thing that pops in her head and get away with it.
This is what she had to say on rightwing talk show Hannity & Colmes just a few days after calling Edwards a “faggot.”
"This is the same thing we go through every six months. I say something, the same people become hysterical, and that's the end of it. I mean, I think the lesson young right-wingers ought to draw from this is it's really not that scary to attack liberals. This is about my 17th allegedly career ending moment."
Not only are some sane and reasonable people in Livingston County trying to stop her from earning $30,000 for two hours work and further sully the image of Livingston County and reinforce it as a safe haven for racists and bigots of all ilks, like Coulter, but the nation is taking action as well. Media Matters for America – a web-based, non-profit research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media – is listing the contact information for the 39 newspapers across the country that carry her column. So far, nine have agreed to drop the column, including the Oakland Press here in Michigan.
Coulter is set to speak at Cleary University’s Economic Club Speakers Luncheon Series on Oct. 1 to spread her unique bigotry and hate here in Livingston County. There is a small but earnest group of people trying to persuade Clearly President Tom Sullivan to drop Coulter in favor of someone less repugnant and not give her a platform to spread her disgusting outbursts.
You can do that by contacting Sullivan at:

I see she's posing with her hero.
That speaks volumes about Coulter. She thinks he was treated unfairly he was right all along. I did a little research on McCarthy, and some of Coulter’s shtick sounds like it came directly from him. I found one site that hammered him, and one whitewashed bio from the Appleton Public Library in his hometown. Even it could not hide all of his misdeeds.
“He was also rebuked by the Wisconsin Supreme Court for an "abuse of judicial authority" after destroying court records. He was later censured for violating the ethical code that prohibited sitting judges from running for non-judicial posts.”
“McCarthy charged that U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson knew of 205 communists in the State Department. Later, McCarthy claimed to have the names of 57 State Department communists, and called for an investigation.
Though McCarthy had hired investigators of his own, all the names he eventually supplied to the committee were of people previously examined. McCarthy failed to name a single current State Department employee.
In August 1954, a Senate committee – controlled by his fellow Republicans- was formed to investigate censuring McCarthy. On September 7, the committee released a unanimous report calling McCarthy’s behavior as a committee chairman "inexcusable," "reprehensible," "vulgar and insulting." On December 2, 1954, the full Senate, by a vote of 67-22, passed a resolution condemning McCarthy for abusing his power as a senator.”
Thanks for posting the contact address for Cleary U. I want to buy a ticket.
Hey, no problem. Anyone who would support a bigot like Coulter isn’t smart enough to find the address themselves, Who-Ever-You-Are. Don’t forget your white sheet.
Wow! there hasn't been a witch hunt like this in over 120 years. If Coulter shows up can we burn her at the stake?
This woman is way too intelligent for us liberals to outsmart. It is almost impossible to debate her and we can't take a chance on her brain-washing young and upcoming liberals, who haven't learn to think for themselves ( and probably never will within the current US educational system).
We have to do everything in our power to censored Coulter. Besides most of us liberals really don't believe in the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinon publicly without fear of censorship or punishment from the First Amendment. The Declaration of Hunman Rights is really a silly Conservative intellectual idea anyway.
Yes, I believe you’re a liberal with a blog called The View of a Conservative Michigander, Mr. Peasel.
There’s no witch-hunt, and again, that is perhaps the worst analogy I have ever heard. Now, I agree Coulter is a witch, but I don’t support the death penalty. No one ever paid the Salem witches $30,000 to spew hate and discrimination.
Hatful insults hardly equates to intelligence. Granted, I know she speaks for you, but that’s your problem, not mine. There is no way you can call what she does and her act debate, not even by Republican standards.
Perhaps if you lived in Livingston County you might understand. Her appearance in Livingston County reinforces the general perception that Livingston County is a safe haven for racists and bigots of all ilks, like Coulter.
He also said that by paying Coulter a substantial fee to appear, Cleary University and the other sponsors are partners in the spreading of her liturgy of hate. Liberals are too smart to be brainwashed by her bigoted views, nor wood we waste the money to listen to it. The young Republicans already have two strikes against them because their former advisor is also a bigot who wants to ban books.
Again, I will do everything in my power to stop Cleary University from wasting their money and endorsing her views. What you do is entirely your business. She can voice her opinion all she wants, and I think every time she opens her mouth she lets people know what you and the Republicans are all about and helps our side. This is simply an inappropriate place to voice her bigoted views.
Like I said in my last comments to you, I am not the government, so there is no way I can punish her or censor her First Amendment rights.
It's people like you and the rest of the leftist chattering classes who keep up the county's reputation. Robert Miles is dead. Good. Get over it and let his ghost rest in peace.
I have no plans on buying a ticket, but the more I read your outrage, the more tempted I am to buy one just to piss off the left.
“Leftist chattering classes?” Where the hell did you read that at? Better yet, what the hell does it mean?
Right, it’s people like me who prolong the community’s reputation as a racist small-minded community? Right. It’s me who discriminates against gays, who tries to ban books and invites bigots to speak at $30,000 a crack. You’re really stretching on that one.
Get real, you know dam good and well you have every intention of being front and center for your hero and the Republican spokesperson. I’m not concerted with people like you because I know people like you will reward her for the most outrageous, bigoted and hateful statements she makes.
