Much of the blogosphere thinks Coulter is a guy as shown by this Internet pic. We think she is a money-making robot. There is no sign of a human heart.
Does Ann Coulter Get Away With It Because Shes A Woman? — I saw the Ann Coulter nervous twitch when she was confronted by Elizabeth Edwards. She was twitching because she sensed the money coming in. If you like this sort of skunks versus skunks contest, this is a beaut. I tuned into right wing radio, as usual, to see how this was being handled and it was pretty lame with most siding with Coulter over her mocking the death of the Edwards’ son with the rationale that John Edwards should be complaining not the wife. Cripes!
Twitching in her seat, Coulter nevertheless put on her “bring it” front. Edwards told Coulter that she’d welcome her input on the issues, but that she needed to stop the personal attacks on her husband, and she also needed to quit talking about her deceased son. In the recent past, Coulter called John Edwards a “fag” and remarked that he was so shallow and so willing to advance his presidential candidacy that he had placed a bumper sticker on the back of his car that read, “[a]sk me about my dead son”.
Coulter came back with the feeble argument that the attacks were ultimately justified as the Edwards campaign was now using Coulter’s prior statements about Edwards as a fundraising prompt. What better to compel the generosity of the left than Ann Coulter? A Coulter sycophant lurking in Hardball’s “special outdoor audience” that was gathered to get a glimpse of their queen asked, “[w]hy isn’t John Edwards making this call?” Elizabeth Edwards responded that it was she who was the mother of the boy who died, and that defending her husband and her child’s memory was basically on her. This is a concept that Coulter probably does not grasp at all.
Coulter: “So? Blow me!”
>>but that is not what she said
““I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much.””, regarding the widows of men killed in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. You can look it up in her book “Godless”.
Now what are some of the other things “she never said”??
Fuck Iraq, I think Ann Coulter was responsible for 9/11.
Mustard – Thanks for posting the link. No, she doesn’t come out and say that he is a faggot, but instead, she makes a joke which no doubt refers to incidents such as the Isaiah Washington incident (from Gray’s Anatomy), where he was forced to go to rehab after calling a co-star a faggot.
Now, as to the other post about the 9/11 widows. The quote which comes prior to the one that you referred to says: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.” If you read her book (highly recommended), she writes this to demonstrate the absurdity of these women being on TV and giving their opinion as to what actions to take with regards to the war in Afghanistan (i.e. cease operations there). Unfortunately, my copy is on loan; otherwise I’d have typed in a lot more.
As for this matter of her being gone in a few years, I doubt it. With the ’08 elections coming up, I’m sure that you’re going to be seeing more of her than ever. BTW, I’ve been reading your posts and have begun to feel shorted as there doesn’t seem to be a “fu*k” button on my keyboard as yours seems to have.
Stiffler (are you the guy from American Pie? I recognized you), if you think what Ann Coulter said wasn’t calling John Edwards a “faggot”, you’re even dumber than you seemed in the movie.
>>f you read her book (highly recommended)
Oh, I’ve read two of her books. Or tried to. She is such a shitty writer, I couldn’t get get all the way through them. Once you get past the train-wreck aspect of her screeching like a rabid banshee, everything she says is all the same.
>>These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status
Yeah, I’d be pleased to have my wife die a fiery and horrible death so that I could make some money, get lionized on TV and in articles, and revel in my status.
Trust me, Stiffster. The crack whore will be gone. At least Howard Stern is funny. Mister Coulter is just a mean bastard. And what up with that adam’s apple, anyway?
31—I don’t have the book either, but I pulled this from the Matt Lauer interview:
LAUER: On the 9-11 widows, an in particular a group that had been critical of the administration: “These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process.” And this part is the part I really need to talk to you about: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.” Because they dare to speak out?
COULTER: To speak out using the fact they are widows. This is the left’s doctrine of infallibility. If they have a point to make about the 9-11 commission, about how to fight the war on terrorism, how about sending in somebody we are allowed to respond to. No. No. No. We have to respond to someone who had a family member die. Because then if we respond, oh you are questioning their authenticity.
LAUER: So grieve but grieve quietly?
COULTER: No, the story is an attack on the nation. That requires a foreign policy response.
LAUER: By the way, they also criticized the Clinton administration.
COULTER: Not the ones I am talking about. No, no, no.
LAUER: Yeah they have.
COULTER: Oh no, no, no, no, no. They were cutting commercials for Kerry. They were using their grief to make a political point while preventing anyone from responding.

So–she is saying more than just a slam against the 911 widows and I think what she says is valuable and unique. The fact is she could have made her point without being “nasty” but we might not have ever read it.
On balance, Coulter haters would by and large rather get their own juices flowing than parse what she has to say.
did anyone listen to the whole interview when she made the statements that Mrs. Edwards was attacking her about. talk about taken out of context. but, who cares? democrats only tell the whole truth and never take things out of context.
i guess no one is paying attention to edwards right now.
“About the – oh yeah. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I’ve learned my lesson. If I’m gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”
bobbo, you’re so often a sensible lad, I too am somewhat taken aback by your apparent defense of this, this… ‘person,’ I suppose you could say.
I’m sure you’ve heard it said at one time or another how some people and how they live their lives are evidence for the existence of God. Well, Coulter and her achievements are as good an argument for the existence of Satan as I’m aware of.
– – – – – – –
O’Really: ‘Nice perfume, Ann. Smells divine. What is it?’
Coulter: ‘Poison.’
O: ‘Ah, Dior, right?’
C: ‘No, D-Con.’

Seems like Coulter’s media presence is a homophobic right-wing ploy to make all male-to-female transsexuals look bad.
On that note, can you imagine the kind of desperate (or perverted) individual who would actually engage in sex with such a harridan?
It would appear that her lawyers were successful in getting her picture removed from use illustrating the Wikipedia entry for vagina dentata…
Bobbo, I rest my case. If you don’t see that your Lauer quotes show Mister Coulter to be an incorrigible asshole, I’ve got nothing more to say. She sure is good at saying “no, no, no, no”, though. I’ll grant her that.
I love the irony that everyone keeps referring to Coulter with thinly veiled, disguised terms of pretty much what they critiziced her for referring to Edwards as. The overwhelming majority of attacks are on Coulter, what she looks like, sex, etc., but I am still waiting on a valid response to her ideas
>>but I am still waiting on a valid response to her ideas
I was unaware that she _HAD_ any ideas. Every t thing I’ve ever read of hers of heard her say was just empty-headed hate-mongering.
Give us a couple of examples, and I’m sure there will be a “valid response”.
35—all conclusions and no facts? If she is so horrible, the facts should flow like poison from the viper? I’m just looking for a case by case, statement by statement, analysis because so many of her critics get her wrong. Do I think the 9-11 widows enjoy their fame? ==No. Hateful thing to say. Do I think the 9-11 widows are being used by the Dems as characterized by Ann?–yeah, pretty much so. So, ALL I’M SAYING is, she presents issues no one else does and that valuable.
And I’m not defending this person. I’m defending the value of “some” of what she says.
One more time, with facts?
>>I’m just looking for a case by case, statement by statement, analysis
Christ, Bobbo. Not sure about you, but I have a life. And Ann “The Screeching Harridan” is not part of it. Who the fuck do you think has time for that? I’ve already given you several case-by-case, statement-by-statement examples. I’m bowing out.
Read a couple of her books. If you like what you see, you should probably join the Nazi party, or the Aryan Nation.
38—Edwards uses his dead son to gain favor with people he wants to impress with his dedication to fight poverty. Facts are facts, and I don’t think anything is wrong with making the reference, but don’t lie and say “I haven’t told anybody this” when you tell the story repeatedly. Kinda looks manipulative don’t you think?
and if Ann want to point out this manipulative behavior in a totally tasteless way, thats not entirely without value.
9-11 widows is a much closer case with maybe even the widows being entirely innocent and just being used by Ron Emanuel. Still, the subject being raised and you decide it either way you wish is a much better discussion than whether or not gays should marry.
40—Well, I only try to amuse. Cant bat 500.
Mustard – Your cases were responded to in posts 32 and 34 above, yet your response is to hate what the woman says, that she spews lies, etc. You throw a few weak examples on the table and then grouse about how no one has time to go through everything that she says. I have read her books and while I don’t agree with everything, she does bring up some very interesting and valid points.
Ann is a a strange dude…
Well, bobbo, from what U said, U would probably have gone up to Mrs. Lincoln and asked, ‘ Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play ? ‘
Some of us value human lives more than
‘ facts ‘.
Some don’t.
Allen McDonald, El Galloviejo®
Ah, this woman appears to be money in the bank. As I’ve said before. A robot money-machine.
45—I guess ab hominem analysis is invalid unless the person is “really bad?” You and others are having a devil of the time seperating ideas from speakers.
Is the play put on at the Ford Theater that night good or bad? Obviously, it was bad because Lincoln was shot. Is that your thinking?
It doesn’t matter how often I say Ann is a horrible person, or how many things she says I say are horrible, if I ask anyone to give an example of how she is bad, THAT alone makes me a bad person? Sloppy thinking, if thinking it even is. Good thing witch burning is illegal. Otherwise sane people post like they exist.
So far, we have two statements from Ann. The faggot comment which I said was bad, and the 911 comment which said was hateful. How does that make me a bad person?
46–I would never buy her book based on who she is. Doubt I could read much of it before putting it down either.
48–Sorry==the third Ann Statement was that Edwards was using his son for politcal advantage. I’d say that was true.
““Liberals’ creation myth is Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is about one notch above Scientology in scientific rigor. It’s a make-believe story, based on a theory that is a tautology, with no proof in the scientist’s laboratory or the fossil record — and that’s after 150 years of very determined looking. We wouldn’t still be talking about it but for the fact that liberals think evolution disproves God.”
“Cheney is my ideal man. Because he’s solid. He’s funny. He’s very handsome. He was a football player. People don’t think about him as the glamour type because he’s a serious person, he wears glasses, he’s lost his hair. But he’s a very handsome man. And you cannot imagine him losing his temper, which I find extremely sexy.”
49—If you’re quoting, why not give us the link? OH==I just got it.
Assuming those are Ann quotes? Excellent.
Yes, I posted here about 3-4 days ago I initially liked Ann (because she defended herself against misstated arguments) until I heard her say that not only was darwin wrong but there was NO evidence to support evolution. Nice to see a fuller quote. Well, I disagree with her statement just about every way that someone could.
Re Cheney–I assume that is not probably true and is a put-on==right? And if so, is the more ridiculous Darwin statement also a put on? I would hope so. I do think she is a right wingnut washington hangeron power goupie–so Cheney is a possibility and I have heard some other brain dead christian comments, so maybe Darwin is serious too?
So #49 and others==I think you’re missing the point. I don’t recall any mass outrage at either of those two comments. No media event. MY POINT was that when the mob roared, I found their recounting of Ann’s statements to be seriously in error. If anyone wants to argue that she is an idiot for either of those stattements, I would only agree. Now if someone wants to say that she’s wrong about Darwin because she is a slimly human being, I would disagree. She is a slimy human being and she is wrong. Two different things.
Thanks Lauren. It takes an effort to dig those things up.
A forth example pretty well debunked by now was the recent statement that someone (Edwards?) should be assassinated? But I will not anticipate a defective argument. Phrase it as you wish?
“So I’ve learned my lesson and if I’m gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just say I wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot”

>>Re Cheney–I assume that is not probably true and is
>>a put-on==right?
That’s the great thing about Ann Coulter, she says SUCH ridiculous things, that when she is accused of saying them, her acolytes assume that it’s a “put-on”.
No, the “Cheney is my ideal man…which I find extremely sexy” quote is not a put-on. Just try Googling “Cheney is my ideal man”, and you will find a half-dozen citations of it. Along with her statements about how hurricanes are named after homosexuals, journalists should get the death penalty, Timothy McVeigh should have blown up the New York Times, and more poison than there’s room to repeat here.
If there was ever any doubt that Coulter has some kind of congenital defect, the “Cheney is my ideal man” quote puts that idea to rest.
>>A forth example pretty well debunked by now was
>>the recent statement that someone (Edwards?)
>>should be assassinated?
Debunked? Jeez, Bobbo. Don’t go categorizing something as “debunked” before any dubunking has taken place.
Here she is, live and in person, saying “I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assasination plot”

I admit that it’s hard to imagine anybody saying some of the things Ann Coulter says, but do not EVER assume that she doesn’t say them. Who knows if she’s laughing all the way to the bank, like Howard Stern, or if she really believes the Nazi-style bilgewater she spews. In either case, spew it she does.
So what’s new. She is a republican and represents the best of the party.
Personally – and I say this with the confidence of someone with a damn fine track record of proving out right in the end on such calls – I’m convinced that she actually believes little to none of what she proclaims. Everything she comes out with – just coïncidently, mind you – just happens by sheer chance to jibe exactly with the attitudes of the hardcore blue-collar Republican sheeple; you know, the bigoted, Bible-thumping throwbacks who fall for the most ludicrous of Repug lies and deceptions, the morans who are less bothered by their jobs being offshored than by having their marriages “endangered” by gay couples getting wed.
Upon looking at the whole picture – including Coulter’s membership in a profession famous for bold-faced lies – I refuse to believe that a relatively young, NYC-born, CT-raised woman in present-day America has developed the attitudes and opinions of lower-middle-class, uneducated, hypocritical Bible-Belt mouth-breathers; it’s her gimmick, and it works, but someone who’s dated Bill Maher(!), considers herself a fan of the Dead and lives in Palm Beach, and spews jingoistic, homophobic, fundamentalist idiocy more typical of a beer-swilling, backwoods, Rebel-flagged, borderline-Klanner construction worker from the Deep South – is full o’ shit. If she really believes the stuff that comes out of her mouth, she would live in Mississippi or Alabama, where blacks, Hispanics and gays ‘know their place’, listen to country music, attend a fundamentalist church, &c, &c – IOW, she celebrates the attitudes of that demo, yet her lifestyle is in diametric opposition to it. That, plus being a professional liar and opportunist, is enough to convince me she’s a right-wing poseur. After all, the dimwits she pretends to be one of are too goddamn dense to notice the glaring disparity between her words and actions, which permits her to talk the talk with no risk of being expected to walk the walk…
Bet you won’t think the same way about Bill Maher from now on, will you?? 🙂
I think she has just come from hell to mock our culture of women can get away with anything, she is evil in all respects of the word, mocking dead sons, though not surprising that she throws F bombs around due to the fact that I think all republicans pretty much use that lingo cuz there seems to be no gay republican base that the majority will recognize. But yea she says sh*t and never gets called on it thats my thing, i think edwards is right they need to confront these people face to face or else they are just gonna keep saying it without any reprocussions and business will go on as usual,though edwards and others who get slandered in realy unforgivable ways can either stop it by confronting or just make money by looking like the better preson.
Much of the blogosphere thinks Coulter is a guy as shown by this Internet pic. We think she is a money-making robot. There is no sign of a human heart.
Meanwhile, all of the blogosphere would fuck him/her, because blogging has become nothing more than the activity of those that can’t get laid.
#26: Yes, Coulter has a right to spew hateful, ignorant, and sophomoric bile. On the other hand, if he says the wrong thing someday and somebody retaliates, I won’t be shedding a single bloody tear for him.
Ann Coulter is far right and not too wrong about most of the things she talks and writes about. Edwards made millions suing hospitals which is a major reason healthcare costs so much today. Edwards is a pursuasive person and could have made a good living as a carnival barker or used-car salesman. Anyone in politics is subject to scrutiny beyond the norm. Ann’s reference to Edward’s dead son was in response to Edward’s using that unfortunate part of his life to political advantage. People would feel emphathy for anyone who had to bury a son and he knows that…but to say that when he held his dead son in his arms he vowed then to dedicate his life to the poor is pure BS. Edwards has not displayed any Mother Teresa tendencies or actions that suggest he give up the good life and share his wealth with the poor. Edwards also uses his wife’s cancer in the same manner to indicate what a courageous wife he has (implying that she would be a courageous first-lady).
As for the remarks she said relating to the 9/11 widows she is dead-on. Those women were made multi-millionaires by the followup actions of government and given celebrity status by the left-wing media. We don’t do that for our brave soldiers’ families when they die defending our freedom (maybe we should?).
I enjoy listening to Ann…she is smart, glib and brings a fresh-air and say-it-like-it-is approach to normally dull talk-show or news commentaries
