Typically, Coulter’s antipathy for McCain has a vehemence few Republicans would echo — at least publicly.
But that’s not to say there’s not unrest on the right: In recent days many of the prominent voices of the conservative movement have rallied in an eleventh-hour attempt to keep McCain from winning the GOP nomination…
Republican pollster, Tony Fabrizio, said that much of the conservative bill of particulars against McCain represents “establishment conservatives talking about things that most Republican voters don’t even know when they go to the polls.”
Like most of the neocon nutballs, I find Coulter’s rants hilarious. This one seems to characterize what’s going on in conservative circles at the moment.

Tee hee.
She’s just fu*king with Hillary supporters so they don’t vote for her.
Probably a repeat but I still love it:
This is great. What will you libs do if Hillary wins. You can’t bash Bush anymore and you’ll have a Ann Coulter approved Democrat in office. I imagine many here will simply spontaneously combust.
Can’t we just ignore her?… Maybe she’ll just go away!
I can’t be the only one who is simply annoyed by her (i.e no shock value left). How have we allowed stupidity, as a nation, to become entertainment/news?
Yet John thinks Hillary will lose to McCain, even though she wins the left, independent women, some Republican women, and as we can see here, even parts of the right.
So it looks like Rush, Bill, and Ann, will be the ultimate ‘spoiler’ for the Republicans. It will be their fault that the Democrats get the White House. Sorry John 🙂
#4. yeah, my thinking is impacted by what Ann Coulter does. given that both of them are basically just entertainers, I find the arrogance involved in the Coulter/Rush attacks on McCain to be really fascinating.
the GOP’s court jesters think they get to pick the next king.
Why anybody wants to listen to that male drag queen is beyond me. Everyone knows “she” has a dick.
Either that or she is one.
I’m trying to analyze the anti-McCain sentiment and believe there is a missing piece of information.
#10. well, the pro-corruption part of the GOP does not like it that he favors campaign finance reform.
the pro-incompetence part of the GOP did not appreciate how he bashed the Bush Administration’s conduct of the war.
the xenophobic part of the GOP don’t like the fact that he recognizes it would be impossible to deport all the illegal aliens.
the pro-death part of the GOP don’t like it that he likes the environment and wants to keep them from destroying the world.
so, yeah – there are some key Republican constituencies who are pretty chapped about the possibility of John McCain being
[oops]
… the GOP nominee. For the most part, he stands in the way of their evil impulses.
As a broken clock is right twice a day, on occasion, even Frick and Frack – er, Coulter & Limbaugh – can’t get absolutely EVERYthing wrong.
No, in the time-honored principle of there being an exception to every rule, even my “anybody but Hillary” rule has an exception in McCain.
#13. wow, so if it is Clinton v. McCain, both nominees will be hated by large sections of their respective parties. Interesting.
oh, and how could I forget. the dark, sadistic heart of the GOP – the pro-torture Republicans – are outraged that McCain would stand between them and the rack and thumb-screws.
Here’s the vid of the show:
The missing element is that he so thoroughly enjoys sticking it to people like Ann Coulter. He never goes after the Democrats like that.

If Man Coulter’s hair is blond, how come she dies the roots brown?

Holy smokes, you conservatives are full of yourselves.
What that bomb throwing NUTCASE conservative pundit says about Hillary Clinton won’t make one iota of difference to me as a liberal.
But Coulter’s rants DO say something about the McCain campaign: they can’t count on the wacko wing of the GOP to support him.
This could be a huge problem because the wacko extremists control much the conservative media — Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Hannity, Savage, etc. — and they are on record loathing McCain just like Coulter.
Hey Boys–given McCain supports unending war and is pro life (not inconsistent, these go hand in hand on the right===its all anti-middleclass), are the Repugs THAT gung-ho to exterminate the middle class that voting against tax cuts is enough to earn the Neo-con jihad or is there more to this==or==what specifically has the repugs in such a knot?
The more this woman talks about McCain the less worried, as a citizen of the world, I am that he wins. I’d still prefer it’d be Clinton or Obama, however.

A few missing conservative brain cells is the problem.
I’m guess, John, that you don’t spend a lot of time listening to Fox, Limbaugh and other right wing radio.
Those bomb-throwers have been bashing McCain for YEARS because he isn’t quite the lemming ideologues they are.
That’s one reason many of us liberals had a little respect for McCain until he totally compromised his own values about a year ago to appease the base.
That attempt to pander failed, of course, since the right wing crazies are IMPOSSIBLE to appease except by total conformity.
So, McCain FLIP FLOPPED back and it’s actually working a little better with the more rational conservatives.
The crazies like Coulter and Limbaugh like are too mentally frozen to understand that McCain is probably their best hope since he is about the only candidate with a chance to peel off a few swing voters in ’08.
Sadly, like a broken clock, even Coulter seems to be right some of the time. Just like every other election in recent memory the frontrunners in both parties have more in common than they do different. I can’t help but be reminded of the Futurama bit where clones are running against one another.
The only two candidates that are even a little but interesting, Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich have been ignored by the mainstream media and marginalized by their own party in favor of business as usual in the guise of “change.”
As much as I would love to see someone other than the name of a Yale educated white-male millionaire on the ballot box I’m having a real hard time caring about any of the frontrunners.
#24….so, you prefer Harverd educated, rich white guys?
The nutball trinity are already getting blasted by pragmatic conservatives for their ongoing attacks on McCain. Limeballs has actually seen a drop in ad revenue and Coulter has been disinvited to several talk shows.
One of the sites I visit is the National Review Online, there’s a section there called *The Corner*…filled with a bunch of die hard neo-cons that are constantly going after McCain. It’s gotten so bad that even other prominent pundits on staff at the magazine has started to tell them they need totake a deep breath and think about what they are saying and doing.
#24. Yeah, I can’t figure out why the media would “marginalize” a candidate who favors dissolving the Federal Reserve and returning to the gold standard.
the American people don’t care much for ideologues like Paul and Kucinich. that’s why candidates pander to the party base in the primaries, then tilt towards the center in the general election.
and we can’t point the finger at the party honchos for the current lineup – their favorites (Hillary and Mitt) are both having a tough time against the hated McCain and the “You need to wait your turn” Obama.
During Clinton, liberals made fun of Bill all the time. The Bush bashing right now isn’t because Bush is a great man and liberals are jealous, its just that Bush is the most incompetent president since Andrew Jackson and making fun of him is so easy to do. How the heck does a bush manage fall off a Segway anyway?
Clinton or Obama will restore america, but the conservatives will of course take credit, like they took credit for the economic miracle of the 1990’s under Bill Clinton.
I’m always astonished at how childish the average GOP nut job is. I’ve got conservative friends who to this very day think Bush is doing a good job. I now realize why North Koreans love kim jong il so much….its all in the brain washing!
