Inspired by Ann Coulter's remarks to applauding Republicans regarding John Edwards, I was going to write something about Ann Coulter, but I understand you have to go into rehab if you use the words "malignant cunt."This sort of rhetorical trick is called praeteritio, in which you say something by saying you're not going to say it. For example, "Other people might call Ann Coulter a cancerous cadaverous cunt, but I wouldn't." Or, "I am not going to dignify those comments that Ann Coulter is a pus-filled running sore of a cunt."
See how it works? And Ann, you know you'd do a lot more good for the world if you'd work on your fellatio instead of your putrid praeteritio. God knows how your fellow fascistas could use some oral.

Yuck. What the hell is Coulter so angry about? She's sort of like one of these people out there that's like, oh yeah, whatever. The only people she can talk to are not people who can be persuaded in any way. Preaching to the choir. But yeesh, what a sad lady.
Oops, I meant "Can't" be persuaded.
Olaf to the fucking rescue again!! I am sure Ann really gives a flying fuck about your point of view. Her comments were not even close to the hate being spewed from the left, as you demonstrated in your post.
Anonymous--did you actually view Coulter's performance and did you actually read this post? It's full of good information about a rhetorical trick that you kids can use at home. It also endeavors to spread love. Go to Wikipedia and look up "fellatio." It might improve your life.
That comment is completely indicative of Ann Coulter’s intellect (or lack thereof). She’s a grown woman with a law degree and the best she can come up with to critique John Edwards is to use the classic schoolyard bully strategy of calling him a “faggot”? That’s so gay.
Yes, Mr Olaf I saw Ann's speech, and yes, I actually read your pathetic hate-filled post. I think you are the one that needs a good blowjob. You speak of it quite frequently. Funny how you get all bent out of shape about Edwards being called a 'faggot', but Koz and Huffington calling for the death of the V.P. is all good. I think you should look up HYPOCRITE on Wikipedia.
Anon, why don't you give yourself a name. Your voice shows up on here frequently. It's a highly distinguishable voice. It's quite angry and reactive, and ironically embodies many of the things it says. It also tends to not back up its claims. I'd really like to see where The Huffington Post, as an organization, called for the death of the VP? I think you might be referring to the recent attack at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. If so, yes, there were some death threats on Huffington Post's blog which were removed by the editors. The editors and the organization did not call for the death of the VP. That, my troubled friend, is what we call misrepresenting the facts, or as we occasionally say in these here parts, a straw man. And when you see a straw man, as they say, burn it to the ground (please do not take that as a personal threat. It's not. It's an expression) Anyway, why don't you give yourself a name. Even though you get fairly riled up by Olaf, you keep reading. Maybe Olaf could give you a name. I wonder what that would be?
Where is the hate in my post, Anonymous? I never called Coulter anything, using the same device she used to not call John Edwards a "faggot"--or can't Anonymous understand the definition of praeteritio? If hearthrob Ann C. (for Coulter?) is not guilty of spewing hate, then neither can humble Olaf be accused of the same offense.
If you defend Coulter but accuse me, I'd say that would be closer to hypocrisy. Forgive me if I didn't explain it in small enough pieces. I thought I was writing for a reasonably literate audience.
