NEW MAN COULTER ARTICLE (SCENEQUEENS Controversial Gay Political Correspondent) NEW!!
By scenequeen | June 12, 2008
In recent times, Man Coulter’s level of annoyance seems to rise quite easily. I came across this quote from a friend’s husband, “I am Israeli, I lost my entire family in the holocaust, been through 5 wars, had friends die in wars and served three years myself in the army and with that am an artist.” This quote was spewed in the heat of an email war between colleagues. The back story is way too long to discuss so I decided to take the quote and dissect it sentence by sentence to apply it to today’s times and to the author of this impressive thought provoking line.
I am Israeli: You can understand their plight. Being stuck in an area where a majority of their neighbors hate them over this reason:
-If there is an explicit biblical explanation for this animosity, it goes all the way back to Abraham. The Jews are descendants of Abraham’s son Isaac. The Arabs are descendants of Abraham’s son Ishmael. With Ishmael being the son of a slave woman (Genesis 16:1-16) and Isaac being the promised son who would inherit the promises to Abraham (Genesis 21:1-3), animosity between the two sons was almost inevitable. As a result of Ishmael mocking Isaac (Genesis 21:9), Sarah talked Abraham into sending Hagar and Ishmael away (Genesis 21:11-21). Likely this caused even more contempt in Ishmael’s heart toward Isaac. An angel even prophesied to Hagar that Ishmael would “live in hostility toward all his brothers” (Genesis 16:11-12). See women, it’s true… men will always have cave men tendencies. It’s not their fault they can’t get over something that happened in the dawn of time. They’re just learning how to operate a electric can opener. (Talking about Liberal men here)
I lost my entire family in the holocaust: This sentence invokes the sympathy card. We’ve seen the documentaries. The films. The museums. The anniversaries. But how come we ignore other atrocities such as the Soviet POWS? Ethnic Poles? The Romas? The Disabled’s? Freemason’s? Albanians? Do we see as much information on these groups who also suffered massive losses? We will never forget but if/and or when do we move on from it? Or if we decide not to move on and dwell for another hundred years we should at least recognize and remember other deaths that do not have the PR and money machines like the Israeli’s.
Been through five wars: What I say to this is… move then. According to his age and when he left for the USA that would make him in involved in two wars not five. The 1982 intervening of the Lebanese Civil War and in 1992 in the Gulf War. Ah, I smell avarice for the purple heart.
Had friends die in war: I’m sure you have. Like every other world citizen we have all suffered a loss. Moot point.
Served three years myself in the army: It’s mandatory if you live in Israel. Not a valid argument. Like I said earlier pack up and vacate if you don’t like the military industrial complex of Israel. But wait… USA supplies Israel with all its weapons… hmm?
And with that I’m an artist: Really? So being an Israeli in the army and having friends and family die during your lifetime automatically defines you as an artist? Hmm? Then I guess that makes Shimon Peres, Benjamin Netanyahu , Ehud Olmert all great artists. Let’s see if we can make their next album number one on itunes.
Lastly, please no whining for something that is predisposed.

Ok…… I feel as though my voice has been dormant for too long…. after much consideration… I have decided I can no longer harbor my thoughts, feelings and emotions… too many seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years have been squandered due to the fear of offending or upsetting another…. I… at this moment have escaped from these self imposed shackles… broken free from the chains of guilt so embedded in my constitution… and declare my intelligence and insight as an asset to the progression of society… I no longer will fear the repercussions of honesty and shall dedicate, from this day forward… every breath of my existence to spread truth and wisdom… may this new found audacity strike the hearts and minds of all peoples… They have no idea what they are in store for….. TO BE CONTINUED…..

Just More Hype… I say with rage and oppression… Once again Man Cooter drives the harpoon of sass through the hearts of whales and ugly persons the world over… who can be safe from these hateful tales… egg rolls have no visible eggs… and skinny blond white women yearn for ancient Chinese secret… but they never will know… like Republicans… they are the nice man with the good candy…. Mother always say… “No Go In Van With No Windows Except The Little Bubble Ones In Back”… She say to bite unwanted predator clown people…. I did… No taste good… I shake my change cup and save earning for trip to Holy Land… I find out who make all this mess…
