Talkin' trash to the garbage around me.

Oooooooooooooooookay...

Care to explain to me this leap of logic by renowned plagiarist, Ann Coulter?
CALDARA: It's -- it's ridiculous. But even beyond that, particularly when it comes to secondhand smoke, let's just assume that all their studies are correct -- which by the way, they're not -- but let's assume that they are. Adults have the right of free association of the perks of adulthood, and they also have property rights. And if they want to run their business the way they want to run their business, and people want to come to their business and be part of it, that's freedom.

But the intolerance of the religion of the left says no, no, no, no. Free people cannot freely associate around the activities that -- the legal activities -- that they enjoy. Now, if we treated homosexuals the way we treat smokers, they would rightfully be rioting in the streets.

COULTER: Absolutely. Absolutely. It's a great comparison. Because meanwhile, these health fanatics, when it comes to smoking, encourage every form of polymorphous perversity, which, by the way, does have public health consequences -- but no, no, no, no. That -- that -- you know, anal sex and fisting, that's part of our deepest privacy rights.
I don't think Ann has her facts straight here, as I've never seen public health advocates encouraging anal sex or fisting in lieu of a tobacco treat (although these would presumably take one's mind of off a nic fit). I also think she's more than a little off-base conflating these particular sex acts with homosexuality.

But what I really want to know is what's up with Coulter's obsession with fisting?
