Words with Fiends
By Ann Coulter

Whenever liberals are in a tight spot, they
adopt the scorched-earth policy of
argumentation. With no answer, they start
demanding that you define words: What do you
mean "liberal"? What do you mean "democracy"?
What do you mean "patriotism"?
They retreat from argument, burning the English
language as they go.
Accustomed to playing the role of Soviet
commissar censoring the news when it comes to
black violence, the Non-Fox Media are in a panic
now that the alternative media can post videos
of young black males punching out random
strangers.
As a result, liberals are denying the "Knockout
Game" exists by refusing to understand the
meaning of basic words, such as "game" and
"trend."
Knockout Game-debunkers place great
significance, for example, on the fact that the
assailants have not signed affidavits calling it
a "game."
Thus, The New York Times noted that in one
recent case of a random stranger being knocked
out by young black males, "the attacker insisted
the assault was not part of any organized
'game.'"
A 78-year-old woman is punched by a young black
male for no reason, and the Times' central point
is: "Perp says it's not a 'game.'"
Similarly, in Philadelphia magazine, Stephen
Silver said of two recent knockout attacks in
Philadelphia that he wasn't counting either one
as "confirmed cases of the Knockout Game" on the
grounds that the puncher said he "was not
participating in the Game."
Until the assailants admit they're playing a
game, liberals say the Knockout Game is a
"hoax."
Obviously, it doesn't matter what the
participants call it. I don't know anyone who
calls himself a "pundit," but that doesn't mean
people don't go on TV and give their opinions.
Every liberal denies he's a liberal, but that
doesn't mean "liberals" don't exist. (Would that
it were so!)
While we're on the subject, I can't think of
a single instance in which someone has admitted
to committing a "hate crime," but liberals are
always calling things "hate crimes."
The Huffington Post concluded that the Knockout
Game was "fabricated" based on one of the most
famous victims, James Addlespurger, denying that
it was a game. Instead, he calls his knockout an
"assault," saying "game" is just a "label."
Hey, you know what else is just a label? The
word "assault." "James Addlespurger" is a label.
Another expression for "label" is "word" --
meaning, "something liberals try to blow up
whenever they're about to be trapped into
admitting the truth."
As Sgt. Tom Connellan of Syracuse, N.Y.,
patiently explained to the Times, it's called a
"game" because there is no other motive for
these attacks. They're not done for vengeance,
robbery, gang initiations or payback. Strangers
are being punched out strictly for amusement.
Also, there are rules. You get only one punch to
knock someone out.
(Incidentally, the reason the Times was quoting
a policeman from Syracuse -- in an article
questioning the reality of the "Knockout Game"
-- is that two recent knockout attacks in that
city were fatal.)
We don't need anyone to admit that it's a "game"
for it to be so. Doing something for no reason
other than having fun is a "game."
What do you mean "fun"? One man's fun is
another man's torture!
This is how parents waste half a million dollars
on their kids' educations. Instead of learning
how to make a point, their kids are learning how
to end communication by denying the meaning of
words.
Liberals also seem unfamiliar with the word
"trend," mocking the idea that the Knockout Game
constitutes one.
I guess it depends on what the meaning of
"trend" is. ("Trend," "game" and "is" -- three
words liberals can't understand when they're
lying.)
For this, we again turn to the Old Gray Lady,
Trend Spotter. Over the years, the Times has
identified "trends" in "eating oysters,"
"honesty" in home furnishings and pocket-watch
tattoos.
In none of these cases was the identification of
a trend subjected to the exacting analysis the
Times employed to deny that the Knockout Game
was a "trend." (Say, was the wanton violence by
Democratic Party offshoot the Ku Klux Klan a
"trend" or more of a "fad"?)
The Times even helped push the bogus idea in the
1990s that black church burnings were a "trend"
-- which turned out to be a complete lie. This
led to one of Bill Clinton's more colorful lies,
about his "vivid and painful" memories of black
church burnings in Arkansas in his youth.
(After a massive investigation involving the
state historian, the Arkansas NAACP, the Regular
Arkansas Baptist Convention and the Arkansas
Black History Advisory Committee, it turned out
no black churches had been burned in Arkansas.)
But the Times questions the idea that the
knockout assaults are a "trend" -- in an article
citing three recent knockout attacks in New York
City, as well as "sporadic reports" of knockout
attacks in one single neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Nonetheless, the Times triumphantly noted that
there have been no knockout attacks in Jersey
City -- and only one in Hoboken!
Back in 2012, three prominent people talked
about Hula-Hooping, and the Times branded it a
"trend." It did so without first checking to see
if anyone was Hula-Hooping in Jersey City or
Hoboken.
Here are a few words I'm sure liberals do
understand: Your days of controlling the news
are over.
