    Ann Coulter: MSNBC host who fallen argued soldiers aren’t heroes is a woman

    The Daily Caller – Sun, May 27, 2012

    Ann Coulter took to Twitter to condemn an MSNBC host who said over Memorial Day weekend that he’s “uncomfortable” calling American soldiers who died in battle heroes.

    And in doing so, the conservative commentator jokingly called the male host — Chris Hayes — a woman.

    “Chris Hayes ‘Uncomfortable’ Calling Fallen Military ‘Heroes’ �“ Marines respond by protecting his right to menstruate,” Coulter posted on her Twitter account Sunday night.

    Hayes — a liberal writer who hosts the weekend show “Up with Chris Hayes” — argued that he’s “uncomfortable about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war.”

    “I don’t want to obviously desecrate or disrespect memory of anyone that’s fallen — and obviously there are individual circumstances in which there is genuine, tremendous heroism: hail of gunfire, rescuing fellow soldiers and things like that — but it seems to me that we marshal this word in a way that is problematic,” he said.

Demand for ivory as an ornamental item is soaring in Asia and especially in China, driven by the rising purchasing power of the region's newly affluent classes as well as growing Chinese investment in Africa and demand for its resources. ...
