Will Ann Coulter go to jail for her crimes?

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

I think Bush is projecting hope....not necessarily a reality.

If anyone thinks there are less Al Quaeda members today, than say on September 10 2001, I think they are nuts...

Saying they are not a problem....what can I say?

Just few months or so ago Bush said he takes Bin Laden seriously.

Bush is full of shit....

Question:

Was it easier for Al Quaeda to recruit before or after the Iraq War?

Are you kidding me? Are that frikkin' illiterate when it comes to current events? Here's the entire story, well told by the Lukin (TX) Times, on this widely known Dowd screw up:

TAKING LIBERTIES WITH THE FACTS
Maureen Dowd not wanted here (MARC R. MASFERRER, 5/30/03, The Lufkin Daily News)

The New York Times' considerable credibility problem is now our problem, as well.

But unlike the Times, which has been engaged in a torturous exercise of naval gazing and self-flagellation, with its accustomed arrogance, since it was revealed that one of its younger reporters had committed all sorts of journalistic sins, we are doing something about it, and fast.

Until she explains to our satisfaction her own ethical transgression--an apparently deliberate distortion of a comment by President Bush--you will not find the work of Times columnist Maureen Dowd on this page. [...]

Dowd, it seems, may have taken the title of her column--"Liberties"--way too far.

Here's what Dowd wrote in the column in question:

"'Al-Qaida is on the run,' President Bush said last week. 'That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly but surely being decimated ... they're not a problem anymore.'"

Here's what Bush actually said:

"Al-Qaida is on the run. That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly but surely being decimated. Right now, about half of all the top al-Qaida operatives are either jailed or dead. In either case, they're not a problem anymore."

New York Daily News columnist Zev Chafets offered a perfect criticism of what Dowd did.

"The words in italics were replaced in Dowd's column by three little dots. Those dots say to the reader: Trust me, I'm abbreviating here, but what I'm leaving out doesn't change the meaning.

"But the dots did change the meaning," Chafets wrote. "In fact, they turned it upside down. Far from declaring al-Qaida 'spent,' Bush was warning the country against complacency. The only terrorists the president declared 'no longer a problem' were the ones already jailed or dead."

Dowd quietly "corrected" herself by including the full quote in a subsequent column that appeared in The Lufkin Daily News on Thursday.

That's not good enough, and until Dowd, and her newspaper, fully account for her infraction, her column will not appear on this page.

Yes.

And by extension, she actually and seriously wants the takeover of western Canada for the skiing and the cowboys? You know what? I'm done with your drivel also. Game, set, match. You're not getting any better Z10. Go back to your ink blots. LOL!

So you know what Ann Coulter thinks.

You know this how?

As someone who in the past here at ET, has made a "career" of quoting partially, and out of context, proffering up dubious facts, I find your comments laughable...

I also find it ludicrous to think we know who all the current "top" members of Al Quaeda are...

Our intelligence has been so awful, who can believe what they say?

I can't speak for Dowd, but I quite imagine she doesn't give a hoot what the other lesser paper in NYC says, or what they claim was her intent.

Oh, and where it he link to what you posted?

LOL....

Have you ever heard of Google? Now, read carefully because this is probably an extreme test of your cababilities:

Step 1. Copy the phrase above that starts with "Maureen Dowd;"

Step 2. NO! You moron! The entire phrase. It ends with the word "here." Put the pencil down, you dolt, use Ctrl+C;

Step 3. Go to Google's main search site and then click on "Advanced Search;"

Step 4. In the text box labeled "with the exact phrase" paste, that's Ctrl+P, not Elmer's, the phrase that you previously copied in Steps 1 and 2;

Step 5. Click on "Google Search."

In the time it took you to write you comments, you could have posted the link.

Same old max, different thread....
