If you think Ann Coulter is vicious, uncouth and rude, try reading the highly paid commentators in the ' N Y Times' who like to pretend that they represent the best and most erudite America has to offer. Check the poison from Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman, Frank Rich etc. They make slanderous and sophomoric remarks and unproven innuendo against the administration that would not be allowed in a high school paper, but it's o k because they are in favor of socialist causes. When Molly Ivins was alive, she dipped into the same language cesspool for 'intelligent and witty' writing. The so called 'top' writers are no more civilised than the bottom...they just get paid more. Ann Coulter is just as guilty of crudeness as Maureen Dowd, but she gets chewed up for it because she is a capitalist.
Is is my imagination, or does Ms. Coulter have the longes face on earth?

She never said that Edwards should be killed. She said that she should have said that, since some on the left have said the same about members of the current administration without any notice or outcry. Coulter was making a point. She is denounced for even the slightest insult or attack, while those on the left make comments that are treasonous and no one says a word. Get the facts right before you write your articles. Does she go too far, sure. But that was not the case this time.
There's a reason I don't watch Ann Coulter, and she made it very clear. Why even bother discussing it? She's obviously ill.
Annie loves to sell books! Nonetheless, she's never:
Lied to a federal judge.
Didled an intern, that we know of.
Obtained 800 FBI records on her enemies, thern blamed it on Vince Foster.
Taken chinese campaign money
Taken Russian campaign money
Pardoned a congressman who was convicted for bribery and mail fraud
Had Sandy berg(L)ar sell influence to oil comppanies.
Edwards is a political cadaver. Get over it.
Why bother to give credence to any one in the public eye who has to use crude, rude, distasteful remarks to get a point across or for shock value? As far as I'm concerned it doesn't make them appear very intelligent. Granted this Ann person isn't the only one who is a b**ch, but if she did make the remark about the bumper sticker regarding the Edwards' son, she is beyond cruel. Some of these people spout off much worse things than Imus did to get him canned.
I hadn;t really thought about it but maybe she is really a he after all. That could explain why 'it' seems so bitterly frustrated all of the time. It is either that or constipation!
SP4!! why don't you go marry that meida whore if you love her so much...
Don't talk about lies...At least clinton'slies did not get thousands killed in Iraq...
Politics is necessary. Politics is even interesting. But there is nothing necessary or interesting about Ann Coulter. She capitalizes on her outrageous language, lacking any true point or real meaning. Her 'show' is not her message, it's herself. Like Paris Hilton, she has nothing of substance to offer and she is all about shock value. So, as I did during and after Paris' jail term, I will turn off whatever form of media is desperate enough to give her any air time. I do not want my political arguments centering on anyone being called a 'faggot' or any other such obscenity. Like the silly song goes, 'keep it above the waistline, sunshine'. If you don't, I will turn you off, media moguls. Interesting how the right-wingers write in, claiming the left does this too. Find me a leftie who calls anyone a faggot! Except comedians, that is. Comedians are free to do whateveer they think is funny. Political commentators should be able to behave decently. So that cuts out Ann C.
SP4---should be proud to support this skinny hate monger. Everything you list is a fact, but the list that this administration has complied would take a bit more space. I guess you do not mind that these lies cost us 3500 + soldiers in a war that you cannot even tell us when we will be successful???
Any politician that lies should be held accountable, but lies that cost should be punishable by imprisonment. Most of my right wing friends cannot support the lies and deception this administration has put forth, are upset at the lives lost by not having a plan for the war, are upset by the spending that has put this country in peril. Here you go again supporting all of this, have you no shame???
John needs to pull Liz aside and let her know that if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. The operative word here is hypocrite. Politics is a contact sport.
It is nice to see how sensitive some folks can get when they are put on the defensive about their own freedoms of expression. When Lefty tools like Michael Moore are allowed to portray the 'evil' ways of this administration, they go unchecked by the so called media that is supposed to deliver unbiased news. When someone like Ann Coulter speaks out against the Leftist machine, and the 'news' agencies that support it, she is immediately called a 'bitch' and a 'whore'? When Leftist politicians bash our troops, the same troops who are providing the luxuries of freedom and safety to all Americans, they give no apologies. Why should who confronts these politicians have to be quiet, or apologize for demonstrating free speech?
It is a shame that this type of speech has to be spoken to get a point across, by either party. I am, however, pleased to see that someone is standing up and starting to 'play dirty' against the Lefty's who try so many under-handed and deceitful tactics in tryin to convinve the American people that their view is the only view and if you don't conform to them, then how dumb you must be. Odd how even the most profound Liberals have to have another Liberal tell him what to think. If you cant fend for yourself, that's a good way to end a population.
I find Ann refreshing and a great wit, highly educated and the only one really taking on the left. All her replys are based on what the left has already said, and the left does not get that. Reminds me of when Rush runs a sound bite of a Democrat and then replys. And the Democrats scream like a cat whose tail has been stepped on hard. The media only plays the one side so what can you expect. Even when Ann said they had said it first, did you see the first quote in print? I think not.
Yeah, who gives a rat's ass about poor people, minorities, very old or very young people anyway.
Ann's god is money. Period. Her listeners are even more pathetic.
Everything has been said about this that needs to be said for clarification. Only a bigot would approval Ann Coulter's long history of verbal abuse. Granted, we have a great many of them. Clearly, this speaks to the failure of our educational system and the spiritual paucity of our society. Ann Coulter's remarks resonate with a great many people who feel smarter and better when someone else is being trashed. At root, this is a moral failing but we have to hope that education can eventually move our society in a more constructive direction. Meanwhile, the people that are not entirely clueless should do some moral work *ourselves* and refuse to support such trash as Coulter's and Limbaugh's pseudo-intellectual garbage.
Wonder how many Health care professionals have been run out of Business by this greed monger. Glad to see these rich hypocrits exposed for what they are. Cannot believe anyone would feel sorry for these clowns.
The real bigots are these libs that rape the poor and deny them oppurtunity by taking all their money, What does Edwards charge for these jury trials?, This type of thinking...known as a welfare state has decimated the black community and led to numerous social ills. Why do you need a dad when the government will pay...Thanks to libs like the Edwards for hurting regular people and riding their pain all the way to the bank....Yeah critize Walmart then sell the hell out of your book there...Google that story...
Who the heck is Stone Martindale? It writes like a 12-year-old.
Talk about unprofessional!
Politics might be a 'contact sport' but when you stoop to saying cruel, hateful things like wishing someone was killed and making remarks about a dead son, that is another thing. The pundits can criticize all they want to about a politician's stand, but I draw the line when the remarks are that personal and sick! Ann Coulter loves the sound of her own voice and, of course, her hair. She and Bill O'Rielly were cut from the same cloth - soiled and well worn!
The insistence that coulter is a comedian has become as tiresome as the disparate marginalized groups that banded together to give themselves a newfound strength to counter the elements of our democracy they despise, from abortion to religion to governmental socialist programs to protections for the vast minorities to the judicial system to the constitution. whew.
In the past year these groups have become more aware that they were duped by charlatans who told them anything they wanted to hear and have taken some of their grievances to the public. Our political bias and prejudices have led to at least the perception that certain groups will supoort one party or another and there is some validity to that. Blacks are no longer a 99% bloc for the democrats and the evangelicals have been very dismayed that they no longer have even cursory input into gop policy.
ann coulter plays to these tragically groups who do not even comprehend the damage they do themselves by asserting for years that she is a comedian. i have yet to see an audience laugh. the truth is she reflects the deep-rooted hatred that has been the primary motive for gop supporters who loathe democrats far and above any foreign enemy. they parrot the party lines regardless of whether they have any basis in reality and installed their dream team of a gop federal government in all three branches. the real humor in that is the continued tirades against democrats when the ill-conceived policies of the gop fail.
one of the greatest delusions they suffer is the fairytale fantasy that holding corporations accountable is directly responsible for low salaries. the adamant refusal to insist closing the gap between ceo's and standard employees is far more damaging than the incessant cacophony directed at lawyers whose greatest achievements have been those which benefit everyone throught the imposition of rules and regulations. the vast majority do not understand the most basic of procedural matters so they have no idea what results ultimately determine the
outcome of a case.
perhaps the worst trait is the attacks on americans who bring to the public forum the experience that puts a personal face on the cost of ill-advised policies. the standard response to families who have suffered the death of loved ones or soldiers who have served in times of war is to attack them for citing the real-world impact this has on americans. when the modus operandi for the gop upper echelon is to avoid miltary service in order to realize obscene profits by sending others to war is despicable. to claim that people are happy that their family members have been killed as a result of the ill-conceived policies of the gop is insulting, disgraceful and dishonorable whether it takes place today or three years ago.
i love my country and chose to serve in the national guard. i have been on one short tour in iraq. there is little to equate the attacks i get from the pusillanimous pachyderns as they attempt to divert attention from their cowardice. it is shameful and in no way is support of our troops. supporting the disastrous policies of team w runs directly in contrast to support for those who are asked to shoulder that burden.
this atrocity has yet to stir amusement, mirth or jocularity within me, so would someone please explain the joke?
