 == Ann Coulter is racist and sexist == 

 Just to experiment with the wikipedia policy, I want to know what people think of stating in the article (along with ""republican"") that Coulter is: 

 Racist:  
 *""When we were fighting communism, OK, they had mass murderers and gulags, but they were white men and they were sane. Now we're up against absolutely insane savages.""  she is implying that white men (sexist and racist), are more sane then non-white men. 
 **Logical fallacy.  All she is saying is the known fact that at the time she said it, in countries where there is a majority of white people, the countries are ruled by laws.  The fallacy is confusing:  ""nearly all white men live in a nation of laws and are therefore sane"", with ""nearly all white men live in a nation of laws because they are sane"".  Rather, it's the law that enforces the sanity.  
 *** You mean the rule of law existed in ""communist"" countries and the Vietnamese, the Chinese, the North Koreans and the Cubans...etc were white? Come on, why would you even try to defend people like her? She is obviously trying to get attention by saying outrageous things.  
 **** She was refering to communism in USSR   
 **** How can you tell? She doesn't explicitly state so. And I suppose then that Korean war wasn't about fighting ""communists""? 
 ***I am not making a fallicious statement. If it is her belief that race has nothing to do with rule of law, why does she bring it up. Clearly she thinks race is important in this issue, which makes her racist.   
 ****As a class the white race is nearly universally an educated one.  That's simply a fact, not racism.  
 *****Next!   
 ******I don't understand what that means.   
 ******* It means that he's dismissing your statement that all other races are not as ""nearly universally educated"" as the white ""class"" as Nazi-esque rhetoric. Just because more people who are white in the world are educated, statistically, doesn't mean that you can hold that against the people who aren't white. There are plenty of uneducated white people you can run into on the street. 
 ******** She's not holding it against anyone, she's holding up the white race as a model for this specific attribute:  controlling itself by offering everyone a place in society that is worth living to keep.  This fact doesn't exclude other means by which other races may be held up as models of controlling themselves:  for example, by having a great heart or by experience with nature and other social bonds of their culture.  
 ******** And when I said ""as a class"" I meant ""as a class"".  A class by definition contains individual differences. 
 ******** And thirdly you're making it sound like I said all other races aren't nearly as educated as whites when what I really said was that whites were nearly all educated.   
 ****She realized her audience would recognize this and form in their minds a vivid contrast to those zealots, like those who crashed airplanes into the U.S. landmarks, who seem to not even possess reason.  
 :Of course! That's the point; her audience is as racist as she is. And, apparently, just as capable of denying it.  
 ::What do you mean, her audience is just as racist as she is?  That's what this discussion was intended to prove, that she is racist.  You are begging the question and saying it doesn't even need to be established in the first place.  If it were so obvious we wouldn't be having the discussion at all.  And a fortiori you can't be adjudged ""capable of denying"" something that hasn't been proven you've done to begin with.   

 You are missing the point people! 
 In response to the anon (white race is nearly universally an educated one.  That's simply a fact, not racism.): 
 They (we;), are more educated than ""the savages"", because white people are generally richer and have better access to education. Again, not because of the skin color. while its a fact, its a circumstantial fact with no meaning, so its racist to bring it up. So Coulter is racist, so can we please start arguing about it and agree with what i say?? heh -Mir 

 :Again, Coulter is commending the white race for its dedication to the use of inducing its members to live by offering them something worth living to keep, to be able to control itself.  Period.  She does not agonize over the reas
