Ann Coulter is clearly a phoney with no moral compass whatsoever. As one person she is hardly worth noticing. What is galling is the fact that Coulter and her kind get any attention at all. The rhetoric of these inflammatory figures is beyond the pale. It is in the best interests of their bank accounts to say increasingly outrageous things in order to keep up this image of America and it's values as "under attack." The more hateful they are, the more press they get, the more books they sell. They have soulessly claimed possession of God and the values of our country in a cynical ploy to further themselves. Americans need to start rejecting this nonsense. Once we start ignoring them and they have nothing to gain, they'll go away. Trust me, if Ann Coulter thought there was more $ to be made writing books on the benefits of alternative fuels, that's what she and her kind would be doing. They are all fakes striking while the iron is hot. The only way to cool them off is to stop giving them what they want-attention.

Part of the problem with this interview is that it was conducted by Matt Lauer, a lightweight psuedo journalist posing a an intellectual. Ann Coulter ran over him like a Mack truck over a squirell in the road. Would she have been so brazen and caustic with a Tim Russert, Charlie Rose or Dianne Rehm, or any tough, well informed interviewer? I doubt it. Her remarks were and continue to be unjust -- how is she qualified to judge the quality of some one else's grief? She's not, and Mr. Lauer should have considered that when he "interviewed her".
Such a big mouth in such a little head!
I'd pay subscription rates for basic cable if only I could see carnage similar to that inflicted on another author of a recent book, Bill Bennett, last night.
Coulter, like so many of her ilk, suffers from delusions of adequacy! If she actually believes the crap she espouses, then she truly is a pathetic excuse for a human being.
she's not worth our breath.
I am really glad that the current media culture was not around when Hilter was in power...I can just imagine the vile spewing interviews and subsequent sound bites that we would have seen over and over. Why does the media give hate mongering radicals a platform upon which to spew their poison? Ann Coulter should be shunned, ignored into oblivion. I can only hope that this latest episode of Ms Coulter's will finally offend enough of the middle ground folks in this country that they begin to question who they are listening to and following. We need to promote tolerance in this country and come together as Americans and find our common ground if we are to change the direction we are headed....a direction that is leading to the decline of our country. We need to hear voices truly trying to unite us, not the divisive hate/fear mongering crap that indundates our media.
Do these widows have the makings for a slander case? It would be great if all the profits of Coulter's book were forced to go to 9/11 victims' families.
How awful that the "Today" show allowed this woman national air time to spew her partisan-based vitriol. Of course, I have my ideas about 9/11. Let's just say the 9/11 Commission was hired by BushCo. to investigate themselves.
Shame on Coulter
What to do with Ms. Ann Coulter? Like other right-wing hate-media stars, she's clearly all about character assassination and out-of-context cherry-picked facts and quotes. These media hacks don’t want debate, they want to grab attention. They deal with smears, they know innuendo and hate, that’s what they do. They are the stars of political hackery.
The Left has its own, but they don’t do as good a job, because their heart is less into it, in general, being more concerned with “fairness” and "community", concepts that don't lend themselves well to targeted assassinations of political opponents. The Right does it better, understanding power better, going for the gut better. It’s the difference between the Gore campaign and the Bush mafia in Florida.
This silly argument about the widows is just typical. Coulter is obviously over-the-top rude and hypocritical, spouting false or misleading facts and impressing vast segments of Middle America with her quick (though shallow) tongue and her physique.
Politics is full of hypocritical cant on both sides of the political divide, it’s just that Coulter and her fellow travellers take it to the extreme, and then have the constant gall to accuse more reasonable people of the craziness that she’s the master of. They're masters of hackery. Don't try to compete.
Let her speak, often. Let her on all the media outlets, but pin her, make her explain her b.s.–don’t just let her make wild statements unburdened by a reality check, because then the stupid amongst us will take her as Gospel. She sure sounds confident, like any jerk in a bar on a Saturday night, and she's attractive to some for her quick tongue and her cleavage, and the worst thing anyone could do is to limit her exposure.
The fault is not with Ann--if she keeled over tomorrow there would be 10 more like her, spawn from the same dark place of fear. The fault, really, is with our expectations of journalists and interviewers. We need to make sure they start to do as Matt L. did a bit: repeat her words back to her and have her explain them. Let her rant 'til the cows come home, but hold her to the truth of her statements, and she’ll shrivel in the light of day.
It doesn’t happen enough, and this clip was not enough.
Why is Ann Coulter so popular? Why do we waste time talking about someone so filled with hate? Is it the long blonde hair? The blue eyes? The skinniness? The smirk? A few years ago a reporter from SALON commented on her "beauty" and wasted a whole article interviewing her. Almost turned me off SALON for life. If Ms. Coulter were a Black female (no matter how attractive), and made the exact same remarks, she would be considered a nutcase and ostracized.
I need to get myself a blond wig and start making outrageous comments and writing insipid books screeching about "godless liberals". Like Ms. Coulter, I need the money and will say just about anything to get publicity. It's obviously worked well for her.
