Conservatism Inc court jester P. J. O’Rourke, who was born again as an “iconoclastic” conservative after being an anti-war hippie in the 60s and 70s, just gave an interview with Salon Magazine explaining why he hated Ann Coulter because she was being mean to Mexicans. Quote:
Salon:[T] the thing about Ann Coulter is that at some point she started to adapt these ludicrous, extreme positions, and it was entirely calculated. It was a strategic maneuver, almost like a rebranding.
O’Rourke: I think you’re right about that. I mean, nuance went out the window. You can be dubious about the number of immigrants coming in the United States — legal, illegal or otherwise — without being rude about it. You could say, “Gee, this is putting a strain on our resources, so on and so forth.” I happen to be a pro-immigrant person. As I said in my piece, she’s from Connecticut, and she’s very upset about immigrants. I’m willing to lend a sympathetic ear to people from Connecticut when it comes to immigrants — if they happen to own a tribal casino! My feeling is, unless you’re Native American, you should just shut up about this. ‘Cause you ain’t from here.
This is so stupid I don’t even want to refute it. ...
