Such a bigot



Recommended Posts

That's a fact. Maybe that's why some of the news talk shows like Coulter so much - she makes getting a debate going, a foregone conclusion.

Ariana Huffington was on Larry King last night discussing Ann Coulter's remarks and she said something that I agreed with and expressed herself beautifully. AH is a very bright and articulate woman unlike AC!

She felt that the news stations had a responsiblity to effectively ban her from talk shows since she doesn't usually have the correct facts as pointed out by Tom and others and that she only speaks for shock value.She shouldn't be given a forum on legit shows like Chris Matthews, MSNBC and Fox. Apparently, she hasn't been on CNN since 2005.

Ariana also talked about the people at that conference where she called Edwards a faggot... they at first were shocked but then applauded her. They may have criticized her remark but not her. She somehow gets excused as a person when others wouldn't. She should not be allowed a forum on shows other than Sean Hannity who is great fan of hers and even didn't think that her remarks about the NJ 9/11 widows who were "harpies" were out of line. Bill O'Reilly was the only FOX talk show host to blast her about her remarks on his radio show and on the air. He is a bright guy who I share very little with politically but respect his educational background and he tends to call many things "fairly".

I agree with Carlene and actually have evil thoughts about what could be done to her. She isn't just mean spirited but seems to take so much pleasure "hurting others" by her nasty mouth. I would never buy a book of hers or bother to "listen" to her unless she is being held accountable for her words in a news piece.

She engenders such hatred among people and is no better than Louis Farrakan or the Pres. of Iran who "spew vomit from their mouths".

Glad to see her name here. I rarely post but needed to vent about that SB. Her soul mate is the "real" Mel Gibson and perhaps OJ is her "dream" date!

Thanks for the opportunity to express something on "paper" to get rid of some of my anger towards AC. I have found her objectionable since she first was on TV spewing...

I have 100% perfect gaydar, and let me tell you, that woman is a total lesbian. So typical, the internalized homophobia/self hatred being expressed as hatred and bigotry against Gays.

She would be sooooo hot if she wasn't such a disgusting human being...

I am not worried. I am sure they won't find anything.:)

Would it be taking your remark out of context to say that I agree? Or would that be the literal interpretation? :P

I was being playful. I have been to so many doctors so many times lately, with so many tests, so many prescriptions and so much failure, that I am getting frustrated, hence the humor.

I was being figurative, but feel free to take it literally.:clap2:

Is everything alright? I think I remember reading somewhere that you were going for an MRI today.

I have been having dizzy spells and lost my balance quite a few times. They wanted to rule out any brian abnormalities. Insanity was not ruled out, but I will get the MRI results next week.

TOM: I tend to want to kid around but I guess this isn't the time. I hope everything turns out negative and it's something simple like allergies affecting your inner ears. Ever had that? My DH has, especially when we lived in Orlando and at this time of the year as well as in the fall.

I'm thinking of YOU kid.

That's what I think it is. My EENT is a real jackass (I was going to leave jack out) and the only reason that I don't change doctors is because in this area, there are no real doctors (in this field). Doctors today just want to cover their asses and run a regiment of tests without ever listening to the patient.

Thank God, this jerk is moving to another state and my next visit will be with one of the firm's three partners (it will then be two partners). It is hard to leave and go to another doctor once you have started being tested for this and that, because the new doctor wants to start all over again.

I have been treated with antibiotics for sinus infections 6 times in the past year. Every time my sinus gets infected, one of the symptoms is loss of balance and dizziness. Every time my GP treated me with antibiotics, my sinus infection got better and my loss of balance and dizziness went away, but this EENT says a sinus infection can not cause loss of balance and dizziness

I have had a CT scan of my sinuses, a hearing test and inner ear test with hot and cold air being blown into my ears, etc and blood tests and today an MRI with and without contrast (dye).

I hope it is allergies and I can take shots to immunize me. I'll keep you guys informed of my progress.

We had the same situation much of the time when we lived in Orlando. I finally found a fabulous woman Internist and she opted out after a bad case of burn out. None of her male partners were worth a hoot.

I never have been able to understand why doctors don't listen. They never wanted to listen to my dad, and would get all exasperated when he wanted to "take up their time" with actual discussion of his symptoms.

Medical care in the U.S. is very frustrating. Sorry you're having to go through the tests, but the good thing is that you'll have some assurance that, if all goes well, you don't have anything more serious than a bad sinus infection.

Have you ever used Flonase? It has changed my DH's life! Seriously.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
