A couple of past students went to the debate between Ann Coulter and Lawrence O’Donnell and were surprised b one exchange. Despite being continents apart, I became a point on which Coulter and O’Donnell agreed. While some would say this is a sign of the apocalypse, I say it is merely an expression the great unifying healing force that I send throughout the world.
One student sent me this tape, which was taken at a bit of a distance. Around the 40 mark, O’Donnell agrees with my take on the Citizens United case. I am told that Coulter then also agreed with my take, though it comes in part 5 of the tape (which my student could not locate).
This has opened up a whole new horizon for me. In light of my success in uniting Coulter and O’Donnell, I have decided to first move on to the Middle East to open talks between Iran and Israel. Following resolving that dispute this week, I will tackle the more difficult and potentially explosive Martha Stewart/Rachel Ray divide.
Jordan, Bless your heart? Patronizing?
Swarthmore Mom -“I side with Justice Stevens”
Bless your heart.
What part of Justice Steven’s opinion do you agree with?

Dredd,
Isn’t Ann a liberal…..
============================
Here are the titles of some of her books: “Godless: The Church of Liberalism“, “How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter“, “Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism“, “Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right“, and “If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans“, to name a few.
See dredd, she secretly desires to be one who has the ability to think outside the sandbox…. She’s coming along…. Not everyone can do it at breakneck speeds….
The names says it all.
Great link Swarthmore. If we can overturn Citizens United we might have a chance.
Prophet? An elementary force of nature?
The grandiosity of the Turley clan always ceases to amaze me. However, I do believe that perhaps you could negotiate a middle-east peace.

I was hoping you would say that, Gene.
The issue with CU isn’t legally permissible.
The issue with CU is legally, socially and politically desirable in outcome.
CU is a case that proves the axiom that logic is a way to go wrong with absolute certainty. It is also faulty logic predicated on the bad assumption that corporations are real people when they are not. They are legal fictions with limited liability, perpetuity and no loyalty or duty except to the shareholders expectations of profit.
Logical – even legally logical – does not always mean correct, desirable or wise.
Giving corporations unlimited free speech in the political arena by expanding their personality degrades democracy and promotes corporatism (a form of oligarchy) if not outright fascism.
This is why a Constitutional amendment limiting corporate personality and the ability of corporations to interfere with the legislative and political processes of this country is critical to the survival of democracy.
There is no single issue that presents as much of a threat to democracy as Citizens United and campaign finance reform other than perhaps the Patriot Act and the need to repeal it.
I side with Justice Stevens and the dissenters not Coulter.
Coulter, O’donnell agree ? Gives new meaning to citizens United.
What do they all agree on again ?
@Bdaman – That in an EVOO wrestling match, prison-hardened Martha could whip Don Johnson-voiced Rachel. If it was a tag-team match, who would the “seconds” be? I’m thinking Michelle Malkin and Rachel Maddow.
M&M vs. R&R on WFE!
A rare Earth event. Let’s start an “Ann C is a librul” rumor … 😉
Dredd,
Isn’t Ann a liberal…..
Quickly, Professor Turley, a young cousin of mine requires your Wise Insight: Is carrot cake appropriate for a wedding cake? The debate is raging, it is only in email at the moment but I believe it may threaten civilization as we know it.
Instead of Professor Turley, maybe it should be Prophet Turley!!
So it’s “55170-054” vs. “EVOO”
That’s a good thing…
Bob
Does the Turley particle travel faster than the speed of light?
“the great unifying healing force that I send throughout the world.”
What I want to know is is that force related to mass?
Will the LHC find a Turley particle if they find the Higgs boson?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .
“Coulter and O’Donnell Find A Point Of Agreement And Guess What It Was . . .” great headline!
Beware the Savior Complex … a few shots of Jameson’s should straighten you out.
I’d stay out of the stalwart complex issue of stewart ray……
The others are doable…..you just might find yourself in the dave letterman camp and needing restraining orders…..
JT,
I’ve heard that you were seen walking on water, surely a lesser miracle than
Coulter and O’Donnell in agreement.
