Coulter displays a tone of a rather critical and outrage person. Through her use of tone she attacks and provokes liberals with a bias message of disguise of the liberals. Coulter starts the column off by acknowledging violence erupting in the world and also “researching” about mobs. “Thanks, you dirty animals. I knew you wouldn’t let me down”. Coulter uses a subliminal message to attack liberals. Without going in depth into the column Coulter already utilizes her critical nature to reel in the readers. “And as long as there liberals, there will be people stoking the mob”. Coulter’s provocative opinion distributes a clear look for what the essay will surround. Coulter asked “Why were blacks and Hispanics gang members looting after the Rodney King verdict?” She also proceeds to use evidence from gang member who said “they didn’t know or care about Rodney King’s verdict”. Coulter describes that in a sense there was no reasoning behind the rioting. Coulter expresses her opinion again about liberals by saying “Liberals love mobs because rioting and anarchy is their path to power.” Coulter throughout the column blames liberals for the rioting. Ann Coulter reveals a hateful and obnoxious tone toward liberals because in her opinion rioting is liberal’s bread and butter towards power. The title of the column is “Liberals aren’t funny, they’re a Riot” brings forth the theme of the column which is liberals roles in rioting.

"Kill 'Em! Crush 'Em! Eat 'Em Raw!"
Question 2- Paragraph 5-7 compare and contrast football and war. Is this comparison concincing? How does the comparision appeal to logos? Yes, the comparison is concining.Mainly because of the comparison of languages and the contrast of protest in war. The comparison apeals to logo because the languages used in both football and war have very similar charateristics.Though war is more protested than football,the comparison is more relivant and logical explained. Question 5- McMurtry also addresses the argument that games such as football allow us to discharge out "original-sin urge into less harmful channels than, say war"(para 15). Cite passages where Mcmurtry counters this agrument. Do you agree with him? Why or why not? "Aristotle said stage tragedy does: without real blood, it releases players and audience from unhealthy feelings stored up insisde them." "a sort of colorful morality play showing us how exciting and awarding it is to Smash Thy Neighbor." Yes because without being able to release bottled up aggression and/or stress it can cause a person to explode with frustration. Question 7- Who is McMurtry's audience? Is it necessary for the reader to understand or care about football in order to understand what McMurtry is saying about society? Explain? McMurtry's audience could be football players, people who enjoy football, or just his students science he is a teacher. Yes/No because if the audience has knowledge of football they can possibly understand the language between war.On the other hand no because as long as the audience finds the essay fascinating, it really would not matter.
