Anne Coulter gets a free pass for her wackiness from not only the conservative media, but of course the regular media. And any attempt to criticsize her is just "the liberal media" attacking her.
The rolleyes provided does not adequately express my feeling about this post.
How am I wrong? Show me one time when any conservative pundit criticsized her for any of her views. Show me where one conservative senator stood up and said she is wrong. Show me a conservative webiste that doesn't have a "Get Coulter's book FREE" link. Show me whree Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly any of them come down on Coulter for being the angry, bitter, useless harpie she is.
Ok take your post and replace conservative with liberal and Coulter with Moore.
It's like magic!
Dude, plenty of people came down on Moore after his comments during the Oscars and for Farenhiet 9-11. After Moore's movie came out there are at least 3 other DVDs that were produced attacking him. Other than Franken's "Lies" book, how many mainstream attacks are there directly attacking Coulter?
Although your point is well taken my friend.
Yeah, I know people came down on Moore, which is why it would be ridiculous to say nobody did.
The point is that they're all shrill douchebags who nobody really defends except other shrill douchebags.
You're biased towards the left side, which is fine, but it's silly to say that Coulter "gets a pass".
Fair enough. but I think we can both admit the level of mainstream criticsism that Moore gets outweighs the amount that Coulter gets. Because she can cry "Liberal Media" and get 40% of the nation on her side autmatically.
I may lean left, but I am fairly moderate on many views and usually fall in the middle of the spectrum. But assholes like Limbaugh and her. Yeah I can do without these guys.
There may be a higher total volume (haha he's fat!) of criticism of Moore, but keep in mind that Moore made a huge film that directly attacked the president and won an Academy Award. What the hell did Coulter ever do that was worth responding to?
Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't matter who's talking shit about what overly-publicized pundit, and instead the real problem is that 55% of the citizenry isn't fucking voting?

The people who don't vote probably shouldn't be voting anyway.
They're probably dumb and/or don't care.

He won the Academy Award for Bowling For Columbine, which is actually a pretty dang good movie. Despite all the crap it does ask a very good question "Why does America have such a gun violence problem?" And tackles it rather well. The interviews are well done, and the part where he goes to the bank that gives away a rifle for opening up a checking account is priceless.
Even Moore admitted that 9-11 was not a documentary and was his views on the President, hence he did not submit it for the Acdemy's "Best Documentary" category.
Voting's for suckers. If your dude loses, then you get all angry and think how everything's shit and nothing is going to change. If your dude wins, then chances are, you're going to be unhappy with how he runs things after a while and will feel like you supported a corrupt system. So you see, voting is a lose-lose.
That being said, if I had a chance to vote for Marion Barry, I totally would. He is the best politician since that Abe Lincoln fella.

let me see what I can do. I've got an old Galaga cabinet I was remodeling to put my modded Xbox in before we moved into this new house, and I might be able to score a sit-down racer style cabinet on the cheap that we could totally hook up into a badass piece of gaming hardware.

See fram, the beauty of a setup like this is you can have a system in there that can play all of those games. Engineer the control panel to swap out easy (X-arcade makes a good standard arcade stick system, and you can set it up to swap out via USB or multi-jack for a steering wheel, flight stick, whatever you want). Get a decent TV or monitor in there, install your own sound system, pad the seat and you're set to go. You can run it off of an internal power splitter so it only has a single electrical cord coming out the back. It's not that tough.

I'm telling you, I've got a Galaga cabinet I've been planning on doing this with for ages, but I've not had the workspace to complete it. This summer my father in law will have his workshop finished, though, so I should be able to complete it by the end of the summer. I've got most of the components now, I just need to finish the internal hardware and the soldering on the sound-sensitive light strips I made.

Also, the Y-Box was when Yoshi, from TheScreenSavers put a PS2, a GameCube, and X-Box, an NES, and an Atari 2600 all in one case with a top-of-the-line PC.
Something like that? Get the 64 in there for my Rush, and the DC for Jordyn's Crazy Taxi, and a PC for my X-Wing Alliance and swap out steering wheels and joysticks and oh god my weiner.

The biggest obstacle will probably be learning to do things like solder.
I'm pretty sure me and a bunch of buddies could crank out a couple of these things to put in the garage at by buddies' house.
