I am not using his handicap. My "legitimate" complaint was intiated by his comment that we will all be living in outer space one day. There really is no proof that HE is the one coming up with this shit. In his prime, he was recognized for his achievements in physics. He cannot audibly/vocally express his opinion. He taps away on a keyboard. He does not give the appearance of being coherent. Yet some synthesized noise spews liberal propaganda.
Your ilk doesnt think anyone will challenge him because he is handicapped. That is my first red flag. Here comes someone in a wheelchair "To tell the world...". Look at Christopher Reeves, all he can think about is taking advantage of the abortion laws so that he may be able to walk again. That is dispicable and may he rest in peace with the innocent victims he urned to take advantage of. And you all wheeled him out there for all it was worth. And what you do is look at who is BEHIND these people. There will stand the agenda. I put the slobberbox vision out ther eso you see what a lot of people see when you(I mean the agenda) wheel one of these pathetic individuals out there.
I see a slobbering mess, the LAST thing that comes to mind is that this guy has any clue as to advancing the human race. LOOK AT HIM. And what does he say, "I think humans will be living in outer space one day." With an R2D2 voice modulator. Are you trying to make me laugh? NO, you are seriously suggesting this crap. "I think we should disect dead baby corpses so I can possibly walk again one day." WHAT! Why not wheel out people who found peace and happiness in their tragic event that has left them bound to a wheelchair? AHHHAWWW! Horror ! Shock! GASP! He may say something about JESUS! Oh, yeah! How dare you say something about a man in a wheelchair!

This is what happens when the grumpy, crazy old hermit that lives down your road and never comes out gets a computer. Goddamnit, internet, look what you did!
It is completely believable that a man who has a crippling BODILY disease can and does have a brilliant mind. While Mr. Hawkings is on one side of the scale, mr. coulter, someone with the I.Q. and compassion of a roadkill maggot is on the other; although he has no bodily affliction, his mind is thoroughly ravaged by the hot desert winds of stupidity and the searing lunacy brought on by fairy tales, bigotry and generations of unrestrained inbreeding.
You're a real piece of work, coulter. And by 'work', of course I mean 'shit'.
"He may say something about JESUS! Oh, yeah! How dare you say something about a man in a wheelchair!"'
You only stupidly decided to make fun of a man for bodily problems he cannot control, so its only the right thing to do to expose you for what an asshole you are.
Well, I did see an advert in New Scientist once for the position of aide to Stephen Hawkings. I could have been the new puppet master! Mwahahahahahahahaaa!!! Or alternatively, you know, seeing as they advertise that position to any old joe with decent nursing experience, you could be wrong.
"[Mr. Coulter's personal theory that Stephen Hawking is a vegetable, and is used as a compliant mouthpiece by the liberal atheist bloc . . ."
But his eyes follow people around the room, just like Terry Schiavo. He can't be a vegetable.
"He taps away on a keyboard."
Actually, you idiot, he uses a virtual keyboard on a lens over his eye, which senses his pupil and he controls it with his eyeball. Therefore, (unfortunately) the last motor skill he has is control of is his eyeball.
If only you had a debilatating physical disease, Mr. Coulter, then assholes like yourself could point and laugh at you. I am one of the most pacifistic people alive, but you deserve to be shot. I'll bet that you don't even bleed!
"Your ilk doesnt think anyone will challenge him because he is handicapped. That is my first red flag.'
Firstly, your "ilk" has pretty conclusively demonstrated that you will challenge everything from experts to research to bold, obvious proof sitting right in front of you if it in any way contradicts your predetermined "truth." And your "first red flag" was that someone was smarter than you despite being severely handicapped.
"I see a slobbering mess, the LAST thing that comes to mind is that this guy has any clue as to advancing the human race. LOOK AT HIM."
Because of course outward appearence establishes the inward qualities. What the hell are you, a medieval alchemist? You just can't, personally, stand the idea that someone may have had far more challenges in life than you and still managed to outdo you.
"WHAT! Why not wheel out people who found peace and happiness in their tragic event that has left them bound to a wheelchair?"
OK, you just need to shut the fuck up here, 'cause you have no clue what you are talking about. I've worked with quad and paraplegics (including my own sister-in-law) and no one finds "peace and happiness" in the "tragic event." They find it despite the "tragic event." And they find it despite asshats like you.
As far as I am concerned, you are the one with the severe disability. You seen to have been born without basic human perceptions.
Mr. Coulter, Stephen Hawking is a greater human than you could ever hope to achieve. Instead of wasting everyone's time writing hateful bullshit to speak out against narrow-minded visions of a world he's actually furthering education of it! He will long be remembered after he passes, much like Galileo, Newton, and Einstein for his contributions to mankind. Unlike you who'll most likely start a party in comparison to New Year's consisting of people praising the fact that someone stabbed you in the back with a large stabby object. People will praise your death, but with Professor Hawking, people will praise his life. I hope someday to achieve even half the respect this man did.
"He does not give the appearance of being coherent. Yet some synthesized noise spews liberal propaganda."
It´s amazing that one of the signs that the guy is an idiot is that he can´t figure out that "liberal" isn´t the same worldwide as in the USA. Like, he must believe that all countries are just like USA, only one is poorer, other has more deserts, but that´s it. Idiots.
You're an ass; an ass, an assbite, an asshat, and an asshole.
I suggest that you break you neck and become a quad. Then you can demostrate model behavior for all other physically handicapped persons.
So, no abortion, euthanasia or the such but you can afford disgracing a man who has chosen to live with dignity despise their difficulties because you don´t agree with his ideas?,what are you meaning, either you shouldn´t kill a foetus but when they grow up feel free or worse, only the ones who agree with me are entitled to my morals? double think award or second vulture of the month. You choose.
Sandman and IlDayo, Bravo! I'm far too angry at this fool's rant to respond with anything more than that right now, but you two did a very fine job of expressing most of what I wanted said. Thank you.

Yeah, right. His machine is being programmed by the dreaded Liberal Media, and he's just sitting there, possibly cursing the horrible words that come out of his machine that aren't his...
I have had time to sleep and reflect. Last night I was sincerely blown away by this post. This doesn't happen to me often; I am becoming jaded. I did have a really cool dream last night: Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan and I were in a spaceship and they were explaining the shape of the universe to me. I suppose thinking about this post before bed is the reason.
I was hit by a drunk driver at the age of 16 and had spinal damage and my knees (and other bones) were shattered. At the age of 40, I finally gave in and got my first wheelchair. I could still walk with help, but the pain was just too great.
The thing is people treat you like you are mentally handicapped when you use a chair. That's why this post got to me so much. I've had sales people talk to me like I was a deaf 3-year-old. Other people will treat you like a piece of furniture. I have had people move me without asking first.
Now, mr. coulter, has effectively come up with an argument that neutralizes the voices of the handicapped. No matter what Stephen Hawking says, no matter what brilliance comes out of his mind, people of mr. coulter's ilk will be able to dismiss it and say it is liberal media puppetry. I wouldn’t be surprised if this theory becomes widespread. The religious literalists fear Stephen Hawking. I don’t think this can be underestimated, especially after seeing that the pope asked him not to study the origins of man. Suppression of knowledge does not make your pet theories correct. Making Mr. Hawking “the other,” and trying to dismiss his voice in this world, does not make you right. I honestly can’t think of a worse thing to do to a person.
Kelian, my sympathies for your condition. My late companion, Marsha, was a lifelong paraplegic, and she hated it when people treated her as you describe them treating you -- as an idiot, a piece of furniture, or, worse, apparently monstrous. (She was beautiful, really; I can only ascribe this response to some people's phobia of disability or wheelchairs.)
One summer, when she was spending time as an assistant at a camp for the handicapped, some of the blue-haired little old ladies who donated the money that supported it came by. One lady patted her head (!) and asked what grade she was in; Marsha responded that she was in her second year of study toward a B.A. degree in Radio/TV/Film. As she pointed out, "My brain isn't in my legs. It works just fine."

"It is completely believable that a man who has a crippling BODILY disease can and does have a brilliant mind."
If you want an idea of how much this is true, be really lazy some day, and just sit and think, maybe eat, take a nap, but spend most of your time thinking.
It clears a lot up, other than you schedual.
Now, stuck that way, where you can do very little other than thinking, I can't imagine the kind of things you could come up with after a life time.
Distind,
Even if Mr Coulter did nothing but think for the remainder of his life-time, I'm sure I could still look under a fallen log and find an invertebrate with more intelligence, compassion and humanity than him.

On behalf of genitalia everywhere, I have to object to this nickname. Genitalia are cool. Coulter is not.
Although I still find this rant obscenely offensive, I don't think I should have been as surprised as I was. Mr. Coulter belongs to a group of people who were more than willing to use a dead woman (Terri Shiavo) as a political tool. Ghoulish, dishonest concepts come naturally to him.

This guy is not even a person, ignorant and stupid persons are scared of the different. He's gone further and is using some people's appearance to discredit and insult, to say he's not worth our attention and he's inferior. This "thing" shouldn't be allowed to live in a civil society. He doesn't deserve it, he shoul be locked.
dykitty, #87610: "You are a blot on the face of humanity."
Prager, #87618: "Actually, he's more like a boil on the buttocks of humanity."
I think you're both wrong. I think Mr. Coulter is an impacted rectal abscess inside the anus of humanity.
I am not using his handicap.
Oh, ssuuuuure. Yeah, you're really not using his handicap. Yep, you're a paragon of virtue. You would never stoop so low as to make fun of someone's handicap. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need to find a way to reduce my nose length. (That was way too much lying back there.)
My "legitimate" complaint was intiated by his comment that we will all be living in outer space one day.
What's wrong with it? Are you just upset that he's smarter than you?
There really is no proof that HE is the one coming up with this shit.
Whereas it's painfully obvious that you're writing this shit on your website.
In his prime, he was recognized for his achievements in physics.
And don't you forget it, dipshit! You won't be recognized for anything more than being the president of the Pig Romance Association.
He cannot audibly/vocally express his opinion.
Yes he can. He has a voicebox for that. He controls it with his eye using what remaining motor control he still has.
He taps away on a keyboard.
Actually, other FSTDT posters said that he controls the voicebox with his eye.
He does not give the appearance of being coherent.
Yeah, because outward appearence is the best and only judge of a person's mind. Look, you idiot, Mr. Hawking's brain is not in his paralyzed lower body. It works perfectly fine. In fact, it works far better than yours. (By the way, you may wish to see your god about your brain, it seems to be defective.)
Although I have never been physically handicapped for any significant length of time, I can still sympathize with people who posted in this thread, who have been treated as if they were retarded because they were in a wheelchair.
Despite his physical condition, Mr. Hawking remains one of the most brilliant minds on the planet, let alone merely coherent.
Mr. Coulter, you are not coherent.
Yet some synthesized noise spews liberal propaganda.
REALITY has a liberal bias. Mr. Hawking is far too intelligent to temper his (liberally biased) facts with conservative bullshit in the name of "balance" the way the allegedly "liberal" media keep doing.
Your ilk doesnt think anyone will challenge him because he is handicapped.
What do you mean, "my ilk?" You mean anyone from outside the shallow end of the gene pool? Anyone sane? Anyone outside your little irrational cult even if they belong to another irrational cult?
That is my first red flag.
Mr. Hawking is a puppet used to spout propaganda because he's in a wheelchair? Yeah, and big mice are chewing my tail because I'm a song from the sixties. Mr. Coulter, I'd guess you spend the better part of every day waving gigantic red flags.
Here comes someone in a wheelchair "To tell the world..."
Yes, he's in a wheelchair. We've established that. Yet you keep drilling away at this, apparently because you want people to think this has some relevence to whether he is mentally capable or not.
Look at Christopher Reeves, all he can think about is taking advantage of the abortion laws so that he may be able to walk again.
What do abortion laws have to do with helping people walk again? Do you mean that Christopher Reeves wanted stem cell treatment? Since you're an idiot, I'll explain it to you: Stem cells have nothing whatsoever to do with abortion. Stem cells are single cells made from unused embryos in fertility clinics that would otherwise be thrown out. For future reference, Mr. Coulter, if you want to argue against something, you should learn about it first from sources other than South Park.
That is dispicable...
Wanting to walk when you're handicapped is dispicable? Or merely getting medical treatment to help you walk again?
Mr. Coulter, it is very easy to tell handicapped people not to use stem cell treatment and treat them as though they are incoherent or retarded when you're physically able. One day, though, you may be confined to a wheelchair. Some day, you may be unable to walk. Someday, people may treat you like a four-year-old because your legs don't work. Even worse, you'll have to watch as people deny you the chance to walk again because they consider it far more "morally correct" to throw out and incinerate the thing that may cure you.
...and may he rest in peace with the innocent victims he urned to take advantage of.
What "innocent victims?" Stem cells don't count as "victims," by the way.
And you all wheeled him out there for all it was worth.
No, Mr. Hawking chose to come out. He was wheeled out by an aide at his request solely because he is physically incapable of walking out himself.
And what you do is look at who is BEHIND these people.
What the hell? Are you trying to lapse into a conspiracy theory here? *hides all the tinfoil*
There will stand the agenda.
Ooh! Agenda! Mr. Coulter, I hear that the Agenda involves putting satanic radio transmitters onto UFOs and blasting everyone in the world! *invests in tinfoil*
I put the slobberbox vision out ther eso you see what a lot of people see when you(I mean the agenda) wheel one of these pathetic individuals out there.
[voice= Steve Irwin] And here, we see a fundie challenged by an intellect much greater than its own. Notice how the fundie insults the foe's physical condition to try and distract us from its own pathetic mental inferiority. [/voice]
(Since this bastard tried to insult Steve Irwin after he died, I have insulted him back on Mr. Irwin's behalf.)
I see a slobbering mess, the LAST thing that comes to mind is that this guy has any clue as to advancing the human race.
Would you quit trying to claim that Hawking is mentally disabled solely because he is physically disabled?

Yellow card for constant insults in place of actual arguments.
LOOK AT HIM.
A word to the unwise, Mr. Coulter: Saying "Look! He's crippled! Look at him!" will only persuade people to look at you . With disgust.
Of course, it may be the case that Mr. Coulter is like some of my former classmates he craves attention and doesn't care whether it's positive or negative.
And what does he say, "I think humans will be living in outer space one day." With an R2D2 voice modulator.
I know! Since Mr. Coulter hates voiceboxes and seems to suggest that people who use them are retarded, puppets, or untrustworthy, let's rip out his vocal cords!
Are you trying to make me laugh?
No, we're not trying to make you laugh. We don't care about you. NO ONE cares about you. You are so fucking full of yourself!
NO, you are seriously suggesting this crap.
What crap are we suggesting? *takes out AHTSM membership card* *prepares to yell at him on behalf of the Association for the Humane Treatment of Straw Men*
"I think we should disect dead baby corpses so I can possibly walk again one day."

Look at this poor fellow you ripped to pieces just so you could try and convince people that stem cell research is a bad thing.
WHAT!
Someone set us up the bomb.
Why not wheel out people who found peace and happiness in their tragic event that has left them bound to a wheelchair?
No one finds peace and happiness in a tragic event that leaves them bound to a wheelchair, you moron! People find peace and happiness despite the tragic event. I might say that Steven Hawking has found peace and happiness despite being stuck in a wheelchair.
How about I sever your spinal cord and leave you confined to a wheelchair for life? I suppose you'll find peace and happiness if I do.
AHHHAWWW! Horror ! Shock! GASP!
Please shut up and stop trying to immitate human emotions.
He may say something about JESUS!
This reminds me of Marx's quote: "Religion is the opiate of the masses." Religion convinces people that their disabilities and troubles are good for them and will bring them happiness when they die, and attempts to prevent them from seeking ways to overcome them. I feel sorry for a person confined to a wheelchair, but I feel even sorrier for a person who doesn't want medical treatment that would allow him to leave the wheelchair because he thinks it's God's Will and that it'll bring him happiness after he dies.
Of course, I might feel a bit of contempt if he tries to ban the medical treatment entirely.
Oh, yeah!
Yeah.
How dare you say something about a man in a wheelchair!
I already told you multiple times that insulting Steven Hawking because he's in a wheelchair does not constitute an argument against anything he says, and it is just disgusting.

Red card! Out of the gene pool!
After reading this, I wanted to shove a cactus up this guy's ass, but his head was already stuck up there, so I couldn't.
There are so many things I want to do to this man. Some involve blunt force trauma. Some involve puncture wounds. Most involve popcorn salt and possibly broken glass.
There really isn't a whole lot to say. I can honestly say that I don't know a whole lot about Stephen Hawking's political convictions, but the fact that a man with virtually no bodily mobility can be one of the greatest scientists in history is just utterly awesome.
Yeah, I feel sorry for the man in the story that you made up when those made up people got mad at the made up guy in the wheel chair for talking about Jesus. That made up story made your argument that much stronger.. great job making things up, you are quite the story teller.
The only one using Stephan Hawking's disability for a personal agenda is you, Coulter. I'd say "Get off the stage, retard!" at this point, but you'd probably mark me as an ally in spewing tasteless, bigoted shit into the world.
You stupid, ignorant fuck. Professor Hawking can think circles around you while imprisoned in that wheelchair and that wreck of a body. Hell, even I can do it and I'm relatively healthy. All you've proven is that you're a foolish, unthinking, idiotic sack of ratshit and that thoe of us who do bother to use our brains are, to a man, BETTER THAN YOU.
You and your tiny, fucking mind.
