Yet another right wing wacko weighing on on Japan ...

(This article/text was copied from the Huffington Post. I put it on my blog merely for my visitors for read for themselves. For a better idea of what actually transpired, you can Google Ann Coulter; radiation, and you can see the interview for yourselves. My written observations follow below and all my comments are in italics. I think you will have to agree that she is a certifiable nut job).

Ann Coulter appeared on Thursday's "O'Reilly Factor" (which I don't watch because I have a brain) ... her purpose for the interview was to advance an argument that she made in a column this week: that radiation is "good for you".

There has been a high degree of concern about the levels of radiation being released into the environment due to the crises at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. But, in a column called "A Glowing Report on Radiation," Coulter said that many scientists have been studying the effects of radiation and have found that, as she put it, "at some level--much higher than the minimums set by the U.S. government--radiation is good for you," and actually reduced the risk of cancer. (Uh, isn't this called 'chemotherapy' ... you moron).

She repeated this assertion to a skeptical Bill O'Reilly, who told her that, even if there was scientific discussion going on about the effects of radiation, it was the media's job to be "responsible" and "err on the side of caution" about radiation. (I almost fell over ... Bill O'Reilly said something rational) ... "You have to report the worst-case scenario," he said, adding that there is a clear scientific consensus that "some radiation will kill you." (Some radiation? Like when you go to the dentist they put that heavy metal bib on you and then run into the other room ... like that much radiation?)

Coulter said she disagreed, and said that the scientific consensus has changed, but that the MEDIA ARE NOT REPORTING IT (inferring that the liberal left wing media are involved in a CONSPIRACY against the people by not informing them that radiation doesn't really cause cancer).

So O'Reilly says ... "So by your account we should all be heading towards the nuclear reactor."

This is a woman who earns millions of dollars on T.V. as a political pundit/commentator and author. She spouts her extremist right wing rhetoric that seethes with hatred and vitriol. People ... wake up! These folks (Rush, Glenn, etc.) are all riding the crazy train. As in, they don't have all their marbles. They're not dealing with a full deck and they have influence over millions of people. Pick up a book! Educate yourselves and find out what the facts are. Fact check what you hear and see. Do not let these fools lead you down the road to hell with them. Ann Coulter is a vile human being who blasphemes by calling herself a Christian. Google her on You Tube and watch for yourselves all the horrible, evil things she says about EVERYONE who doesn't think or worship the way she does.

So ... here is my challenge to Ms. Coulter ... I say, since she believes that a radiation is actually GOOD for you, why don't you fly on over to Japan, for humanitarian reasons of course (the one requirement being that you must be a human being, which in her case is questionable) and stand in front of reactor no. 4 to prove your point. If you come back, and you don't develop cancer within the next year or so, IT'S PROOF! You are not human. You are .... A COCKROACH.

It is popularly suggested that cockroaches will inherit the earth if humanity destroys itself in a nuclear war. Cockroaches do indeed have a much higher radiation resistance than us humans, however, they are not exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects, such as Ann Coulter.

Because of their long, persistent association with humans, cockroaches are frequently referred to in art, literature and folk tales. In Western culture, cockroaches are often depicted as vile and dirty pests. Their size, long antennae, shiny appearance and spiny legs make them disgusting to humans ...

Again, it's my blog and I can say what I want to!
