The Political Chase

Another point on Ann Coulter

I reread my last post and this counter-argument occurred to me. As stated in the previous post, one excuse given for not pulling Coulter’s column was, “she didn’t use that language in her column.” That misses the point entirely. While the language may not be acceptable, this goes beyond inappropriate language.

It has everything to do with character, bigotry, slander, values, ethics, and the values and image an organization wants to present to the public and its clients. It’s easy to ward off simple rebuttals before they are even spoken. Negation of possible rebuttals in advance minimizes the opportunity for the organization to say “no”…all part of pleading the case up front.

Think like Patrick Fitzgerald.
