But whatever their myriad interests, clothing choices, and interest in illicit drugs, true Deadheads are what liberals claim to be but aren't: unique, free-thinking, open, kind, and interested in different ideas.

Phred why do you (seem to) enjoy parading around the "Right vs. Left" bullshit? Are you not more interested in finding common ground, rather than just bashing "the other side"? I consider myself a Liberal or, at least, on the "Left" of the political spectrum...and while I would like to have a lot of respect for you, that's kind of hard to do when half the posts I see from you seem to exist solely to bash the "loonie lefties".
I certainly don't agree politically with most people who identify themselves as Right, or Republican, or whatever....but I fully accept their choice in the matter and I'm not going to get petty and call them names just because I don't agree with them. Why do you feel the need to do so?
Compromise is where it's at, if you ask me.

Holy over-reaction, Batman!
Look, all I did was post a link to an interview at Jambands.com with a famous Deadhead. I didn't title the article, Jambands.com did. I was too lazy to think of a different title for the thread so I just used the one Jambands.com used. For this I'm given grief?
If you'd read the article you'd know there are maybe three sentences in the entire lengthy interview having anything at all to do with politics. The rest of the article is nothing more than the reminiscences of a Deadhead.
Lighten up, dude.

Please, don't take any offense to my post. Re-reading it, I may have worded it a little wrong in a few places. I'm not trying to bash you or anything like that!
I'm trying to understand, that's all. This just happened to be the thread that finally made me ask

yeah..ann coulter never did any drugs during the 67 shows she saw yet according to the descriptions she gave of her experiances at dead shows she can barely remember anything about it except that it was "awesome". she's a liar and hypocrite, just like rush.
she's also either completely insane or she's just a fraudulent merchant of shock value. i think anyone who takes her seriously has a couple screws loose.

I don't honestly beleive that Ann Coulter is really as crazy as she acts.
Honestly, I think it's just a stage persona that she's developed to help her sell books.
I bet that under all the "crazy bitch" getup she has some level of decent humanity

you're probably right. she's like a female howard stern from a parallel universe.
it'd be funny if on her death bed she came out and admitted she loved acid and free love and really loathed conservatives and only wrote her books to get rich and confuse conservatives.

I'm not in a position to agree with her or disagree with her, since I've never been to Dead concert and have therefore met no Deadheads in real life. Or at least none I know of. For all I know Deadheads are not what Liberals claim to be (but aren't).

It's the hand of an Iraqi woman who had just voted in Iraq's first free election -- the one which chose the members of the first Iraqi parliament charged with producing the Iraqi consitution.
The purple dye is the precaution the Iraq election committee uses to prevent people from voting twice. In order to receive a ballot, the voter must dip his/her index finger in indelible purple dye. I'm not sure what part of their anatomy those who had fingers amputated by Hussein's thugs use in lieu of an index finger, though.
In the days after the election, Iraqis were proudly waving their fingers in the air at every opportunity to prove they had voted.

So you didn't read the interview either. Didn't think so. If you had you would have realized there is almost no discussion of politics. It's merely the reminiscences of a Dead fan -- albeit a fairly famous Dead fan.
Though I rarely post in The Pub, I do know there are many Dead fans who do. I therefore thought the interview was appropriate Pub material. Guess not. *shrugs*

I did check out the article. It sucked.
So, what is so difficult and time-consuming about typing "Ann Coultier on the Dead" or "Interview with Coultier"? I think copy/pasting and spliting the sentence into title and then first dramatic sentence takes way more time then typing "Coultier on the Dead".
You posted this uninteresting interview complete with its provocative title in the pub (in all places) to stir shit up. And when trendal called you out, you backtracked and danced around your original intention.

Own up to your bullshit for once.

It's easy to imagine ulterior motives someone may have for doing something. That doesn't make you correct. I could just as easily say the only reason you're all bent out of shape about this is because it's ME who posted it and you are so tired of getting beaten like a gong in our debates in the Politics forum that you'll seize any opportunity to express your bitterness at your unbroken string of defeats, and that if it had been anyone else who had provided the link you would have said nothing at all, but would that make me correct? I posted the link because I thought it would come as a surprise to many people here that the Evil Ann Coulter is a Dead fan. Posting Coulter's name in the thread title wouldn't have been much of a surprise, now, would it? Besides, using the actual title of the article saved me having to think up a new one on my own, and the only reason I split it was to keep the thread title shorter. I don't know about you, but I hate seeing lengthy thread titles. Sometimes it messes up the appearance of the forum list.
So sorry to have personally offended you. That wasn't my intention... no matter how strongly you have convinced yourself otherwise. And I'm also sorry you found the interview to be less interesting than the rest of the threads in The Pub. I will strive in future to post nothing but gripping and fascinating subject matter in The Pub.

Don't let KOTT's fulminations fool you, folks. He really loves me -- in a manly way, of course! It's just his gruff way of expressing admiration, the big lug.
I don't know how big a Dead fan he might be, though.

I'm curious as to what part of my post "validates" bi0's claim that I posted the link to the interview in order to stir up shit. Would you care to point out the relevant section for us?
As for "boasting", you are of course free to review any discussions in the PA&L in which both bi0 and I participated and decide for yourself whose positions make sense and whose don't. If you've never visited the PA&L forum you have no way of knowing the validity of the points made by either bi0 or myself when we engage each other in debate, nor do you know the manner in which bi0 comports himself during those discussions.
A question for you -- in your worldview, which is the worse transgression:
a) -- attempting to stir up shit by ascribing imaginary motives to a debating opponent in a thread totally unrelated to political debate in a forum not dedicated to political debate
or
b) -- reminding a debating opponent of his string of defeats in response to bogus charges levelled by said opponent
Getting back to the actual subject matter of the thread:
Are you a Dead fan yourself? Do you find it surprising Ann Coulter is a major Dead fan? If so, why?
