Would no one point out that Guiliani had to have known that they had been previously writing such things? Would no one suggest that the act of employing them IN A COMMUNICATIONS CAPACITY could reasonably be construed as a tacit approval of writing such "offensive" things?

 Would we claim that Guiliani  wrongly caved to pressure if he got rid of them?

   I suspect, we'd first criticize his judgment for hiring them  in the first place and marvel at his unwise obstinancy for not firing them.

Just like accusing Pelosi of ramapnt misappropriations for travel, and having no problem with using filibuster, among countless examples, the Republican Party is the party of double standards.

You cannot choose your race.....,

I would put it slightly differently.

You can't choose what you look like. I think "race" is pretty slippery. No one can prove that they are a part of a 'race'. Mostly it is what you look like and who you identify with.

Then I presume that a candidate who hired someone who highlighted the Mohammed cartoons would be just fine then.  Likewise, someone who's spouted hateful language about Jews would be ok in your book, too?

2.) What if your other planted a bomb with a 1 hour timer in a kindergarten and the only way you could defuse it was by torturing her?

Che, I lived some of that BS. Let me translate what hundreds of racists said. And then I will tell you what I told them.

Racist: "I don't hate blacks. I just hate the NAACP."

Jim: "Bullsh*t."

And to claim that Israel is a Zionest state is as wrong headed as it gets.

That is the proof positive that your claim to not hate Jews is just a claim.

The sad fact is, you probably don't. Like the racists of the south in the 60's, because you know some Jews who you like because they share your views, you actually believe what you write.

Of course what counts, as the black civil rights movement pointed out, is what you do.

Coulter doesn't hate liberals

Some gems you can google:

"I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo."

"If you don't hate Bill Clinton and the people who labored to keep him in office, you don't love your country."

"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."

"Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant."

And topped off by my favorite...

A comment thread denizen who just won't quit. Nobody could knock George Chuvalo down. He just kept smashing the other guy in the fists with his face until the fight was over.
[Chuvalo was a heavyweight fighter in the 1970s who fought Frazier, Ali, etc.]

Can I say...

 "To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture."
