P U !
...some years back, and Jon Stewart was his usual fabulous self interviewing her. Unfortunately, that segment isn't available online; she refused to sign the necessary release. AND she's never been on the show again.
Kind of funny to think of Hitler doing the Oprah show. Almost.
just an act
My belief is that she is engaged in an Andy Kaufman-esque comedy routine.
Exactly. This is the Ann Coulter Null Hypothesis. If she is, then I love her. I've always thought the same thing about Victoria Jackson, but she's more transparent.
It would be great to see what Jon Stewart could do to skewer her in a similar fashion to the lambasting that Bill Bennett took the other night. Alternatively, Stephen Colbert (the most consistently courageous funnyman in America) could probably hoist her with her own petard by having his fawining right wing persona allow her to make an even more enormous fool of herself with her own shameful invective than she already has in her publicity rounds for new new book. This witch must be brought down!!
We all know that Ann Coulter is a media whore, we just don't know the exact extent of it yet. It would be nice if a "leak" appeared somewhere revealing just how much money AC is being piad to say these things.
Its obvious to me that since a lot of people ARE starting to debate whether 9/11 was a planned event, this venemous Swift-boast (typo not intended, but left there anyway) strategy has sprung up. And if you look closely, you can see that on an emotional level it's an exact 1:1 counterspin (to the gut impact of our govt. being behind 9/11)!
No human being, without a lot of money involved, could mouth the kind of crap coming out of Coulter's blow-cramped lips.
Unfortunately, Ann Coulter can only see things through her own narrow viewpoint, so as a shameless and master manipulator of the media for her own personal gain (don't tell me that this is not going to push her book sales through the roof!) she assumes that everyone else acts in the same regard.
How sad.
Coulter is a heartless B***h! How dare she accuse these women of gaining fame and money from the tragedies of 9/11. As I remember George Bush played on the sympathies of the nation by mentioning 9/11 in just about every speech he did after the attacks. He used it to make himself look good in the publics eye. Isn't she in fact making money off the subject of the 9/11 widows??? What a hypocrite! I don't think of myself as violent at all but it would not surprise me if someone retaliated against her in that way. She is heartless and I think she is a verbal terrorist! How would she feel if one of her loved ones were killed in an attack that could have been prevented? She would do what most of us would do and work hard to expose the truth and seek justice. As for the personal attacks on these women, I think she is probably lonely and has nothing better to do but pick on victims. She looks like a goofy dumb blonde that can only manage to rope in a bottle of peroxide and dollar store cosmetics. Get a life Coulter and stop making money off of the misfortune of others!!!
By the way, they are both idiots. But can we please acknowledge that there are lots of idiots on both sides? Ann Coulter does not represent the Republican Party any more than Ted Rall represents the Democratic Party.

Ann Coulter's accusations against the women who lost their husbands in the 911 attack... is an attack beyond measure! I can only believe that she is in the dark so deeply that she cannot see anything but log in her own eye. She has lost sight completely. She reveals herself through her own words and has impaled herself on her own sword.
Tanya Harding Vs. Anne Coulter, Celebrity Boxing
Coulter should be encouraged to take a direction change in her career. Preferably to an activity which requires her to grip a mouthpiece between her teeth.
nuff said.
I wish no ill will against Ann Coulter, and normally don't ask for censorship. Censure may be more appropriate for her. The hateful views of pundits provokes polarization. It provokes a overly simplistic black and white, either or, red vs blue, evil vs good, us vs them mentality.
This polarization keeps working class people fighting among themselves over wedge issues, while a wealthy and powerful elite co-opt the apparatus of government and the media, to further their ambitions at the expense of the people. The saber rattling of people like Ann Coulter helps to keep us inflamed and divided. That is her purpose, as is the rhetoric of Rush, Glenn, Joe ad nauseum. You are more likely to hear an intelligent discourse on shows like Thom Hartmann, where differing points of view are more cordially and sensibly debated.
In 2004, Bill Clinton said "they need for us to be divided." He was referring to the Republicans, but in other speeches, he has highlighted the historical fight dating back to our founding fathers, between those who feel we need a aristocracy of a handful of wealthy powerful corporate apologists versus a true democracy of, by and for the people. It is that handful of wealthy powerful that really need us to be divided. United, our numbers would assure our control of the government and the media. The elite would have to accept a more level playing field in the competion of ideas.
As for Ann, there is no criticism that could be more damaging to her credibility, than to let her speak her own mind. The rhetoric of hate and division is its own worst enemy.
The more she and her like minded tribe speak, the worse they make it for the politicians they defend. That is a good thing. Rant on Ann dear.
Her reference to those "millionaire broads" caused me to wonder if anyone remembers how they got to be millionaires.
The 9/11 dependants were paid not to sue the airlines.
This was a bailout of the airline industry by the Republican controlled congress, including the conservatives who love to blame the liberals for all the ills of the country. Sure the liberals agreed to this, but we expected them to.
Protecting the airline industry from massive lawsuits is not conservatism, it is not capitalism, it is socialism.
There, I said the S word. In a true capitalist society, business and industry would not get supported or bailed out by government using taxpayer money. In this country, we practice capitalism when business lays off thousands of workers, but when business gets subsidized it can only be called socialism. They can call it anything they like, but it is socialism. And business and industry is quick to ask for handouts...and the conservatives are just as quick to pay up.
The Jersey Girls could have taken the money, and lived a life of leisure and luxury, but they chose to bring justice to the victims, and truth to the American people. I am proud of them. I am glad they stepped up to the plate. I believe they are working through their grief in a positve way and there is no doubt they loved their husbands and had sound marriages. Who has a better right then they to become political? It is the American way.
She accuses the Jersey Girls of using their dead husbands for political purposes. Isnt Coulter using the Jersey girls for moneytary gain and political purposes? She makes a lot of money off the people she uses and verbally abuses. There is more to life than taking, if she is a true Christian, she should be giving something back. Perhaps she should take the next flight to Iraq, has anyone seen her broom?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The Maine fight was supposed to be the dress rehearsal for repealing California's Prop. 8 -- but gay marriage lost
Once one obtains Seriousness credentials in the Washington media, they are irrevocable no matter one's conduct.
