Coulter's Column Today

[Guest]

Well, well, well...I actually read her column today because the title intrigued me. As I was reading it, I was going....OMG...I agree with this woman about something??? I thought my head would explode. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this column today?

After my initial shock, I paid more attention to what she was saying. MY MY MY..your political goddess was saying what a loser Newtie was...and she said it in great detail. Where had I heard this before? Why, I think it was in my posts of the last day or two. Was she agreeing with me, or was I agreeing with her. Either one kind of creeps me out, but my question is, now that the goddess has written this in her column, do you believe it now?

My question to you would be, "Don't you feel foolish for pigeon holing this woman for all this time"? She's now brilliant because she agrees with you? You couldn't resist demeaning her in the process of your revelation, I see though.

Maybe if you read her work more, you might find more common ground than you'd believe.

She's entitled to her opinion, is all I'll say about her column.

[Guest]

Only thing I can say is that she really hit the nail on the head. Or as the commercial on TV goes, She nailed it or should I say him, ya know Newtie boy.

I have read the beginnings of some of her articles but could never finish them because some of the things she says are so crazy. Even she has to right once in awhile. I think I will send her an email telling her she is going to confuse her audience if she writes another column like this Newtie one.

I wonder how many of the posters who were screaming in the last few days what a good and swell guy Newtie was will answer my question....

[Guest]

She said on TV theother night that a winning ticket would be Romney/Rubio.

I find this interesting because there are not many people to the right of her.

[Guest]

still sounds to me like the characterization of "being right" is based on hearing something you agree with.

That leaves out a whole lot of things she may be right about but you may not happen to agree....hence that does not make her wrong.

I did not get to read her column in the paper today but if she put Newt in his place (the garbage heap), she did good for once.

Most of the time Coulter is just full of venom and thinks she is a real wit. Well, half-wit is more accurate when speaking of Ann Coulter.

If the Republicans are stupid (yes, stupid) enough to run Newt for President, they will lose for sure. That is just as crazy as talking of having Ron Paul as a viable candidate. Either of them would be made into mincemeat by the Democrats and President Obama wins again!!

Fox News actually said "Newt has more baggage than Paris Hilton."

[Guest]

Kind of charming to see LadyDoc and Figmo replying to each other's posts.

Almost like an electronic Ozzie and Harriet.

Just kidding, guys.

Paris would never do a commercial with pelosi.

If democrats just cross over and vote in the republican primary, I believe Newt could be the nominee. Fasten your seat belt. What an election this is going to be.

[Guest]

How in the world could Newtie navigate himself to front-runner status? He's trying to sell books and elevate his public personna. But he hasn't made much of an effort to build a political organization capable of winning.

I might add to Ann Coulter's list of stuff that are objectionable about Newtie that he was the Speaker who pushed thru the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, beginning the deregulation of banking that lead to what we're experiencing now.

Newtie is a non-starter.

She has always liked Romney, since the beginning of his run in 2007. He and Rubio would be strong ticket of statesmen.

If we had more of this kind of exchange in Congress (see Rubio and Kerry), maybe things wouldn't be such a bunch of playground bullying for turf:

[Guest]

...He and Rubio would be strong ticket of statesmen....I could go for that ticket. Does Romney have a few warts? Sure. But I think he would make his attempts to resolve issues being willing to compromise.

Now the big question is...will we be able to change enough members of the House and Senate for replacements who will realize their responsibilities and compromise for the good of the country?

Is Mitt Romney running for president of the United States or governor of NH? He hasn't been out of NH in over three weeks. It's time for him to put on his big boy pants and go explain to the good people of Iowa his many positions on many issues.

Ladydoc: Actually I made reference to Ann Coulter's article last week on another thread concerning Newt explaining that some not particularly fond of Newt would enjoy her column. Ann sends me an advanced copy of her column. I just love that beautiful blonde intelligent woman.

I also started a new thread this AM explaining that my prediction that Hillary would run is a posibility...The push is on to dump Obama. It would be nice to believe that I am an extraordianry gifted analyst but the truth is politcians are so easily predictable.

That's just a bit too much idolization. A perfect recipe to get your heart broken. Anyone we elect will disappoint us in some way. The only thing Mitt has going for him is he swears he's going to disable Obamacare. That's the only thing Coulter cares about, and with that I concur. Other that that I know he's going to drive me crazy. He best not renege on that one thing.

I just edited out the initial comment I made because you've misquoted Ms. Coulter. She never said what you say she did about Christians. I've researched it and find nothing in that vein.

[Guest]

It seems to me that if you believe in any religion it would be difficult to believe in the Democratic platform.

[Guest]

Well, your blonde babe, Ann Coulter, has said some mighty strange things:

1. "There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says are the minimum amounts we should be exposed to are actually good for you and reduce cases of cancer." -Ann Coulter, on fears over the fallout from Japan's nuclear crisis, Bill O'Reilly interview, March 18, 2011

2. "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester. ... I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others." --on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller, FOX News interview, June 22, 2009

3. "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee."

This is a person who uber-conservatives bow and scrape to on a regular basis.

I saw and heard her say that a few years ago in a tv interview promoting her latest book. She may have said liberal rather than democrat, I honestly don't remember, but to her they are one and the same.

I did an online search and she has said some things about Christians, but nothing like you've said, and as vilified as she is by the left wing media I don't believe a statement like your's would be ignored.

Ms. Coulter does have a scathing and sarcastic sense of humor at times and hateful people who disagree with her right to voice her opinion often castigate her and take her out of context in a stupid mission to destroy her. I'm guessing this is the substance of the story you heard about her.

Could be, but the problem is the "hateful people who disagree with her right to voice he opinion", are inspired by her over the top hatefulness and respond in-kind. One of the huge problems we have in politics today, (and it is not new, but simply more pervasive imo) is the horrible rhetoric, and the dig your heels in ideology, fostered by extremists on each side - Coulter = Olberman. No statesmanship, no compromise, no leadership, no solutions.

I can't agree. I've seen Coulter many times being interviewed and it's always with her sly sarcastic humor that she castigates her foes. Olberman is more an angry faced troll in his petulant diatribes. Maybe if Olbermann had any semblance of humor in his ranting he wouldn't be almost banished from discussion among even his peers.

As with most things, there's more to the story.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter

Coulter made her first national media appearance in 1996 after she was hired by the then-fledgling network MSNBC as a legal correspondent. She was dismissed from the network at least twice. First, in February 1997, after she insulted the late Pamela Harriman (U.S. Ambassador to France), as the network was covering her memorial service. They missed her jousting and quickly rehired her, only to fire her eight months later after she tangled with a disabled Vietnam veteran on the air. Robert Muller, co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, asserted that, "in 90% of the cases that U.S. soldiers got blown up [in Vietnam]—Ann, are you listening—they were our own mines." (Muller was misquoting a 1969 Pentagon report that found that 90% of the components used in enemy mines came from U.S. duds and refuse). Coulter, who found Muller's statement laughable, averted her eyes and responded sarcastically, "No wonder you guys lost." It became an infamous—and oft-misreported—Coulter moment. The Washington Post and others turned the line into a more personal attack: "People like you caused us to lose that war." But her troubles with MSNBC only freed her to appear on CNN and Fox News, whose producers were often calling.

Say what you want about the Blonde Ditch Witch, but she has an audience that continues to read her trash column every week. Of course, Beetle Bailey has a large following, too.

All your hate is disturbing. She's not the most widely read and best selling conservative author because she's unscholarly and uninformed. Maybe she just reveals too much trash about your heroes. I'm betting that's it.

(Most of the hateful rhetoric on this forum seems to emanate from liberal posters. The name calling primarily)

No Richie, Coulter's hate is disturbing, and I don't think anyone has accused her of being unscholarly or uninformed. There are few people who read this forum and see buggyone's posts, if they are indead hateful, so whatever he, or anyone here says is relatively harmless. Coulter has found an audience of a few million, mostly because she feeds into their bias and hatred, with a sarcastic venom that is unprofessional and appeals to the worst nature in her audience. Richie you seem like a mostly reasonable man and I find it hard to beleive you would condone her rhetoric. By the way, I am not a liberal so try not to use your highest insult on me in that way.

I enjoy listening to Coulter. I usually agree with her and I have a high sense of appreciation for her witty sarcasm. I think it's only the ones she skewers, and those who admire her ideological targets that call it hate. I find it a bit ludicrous, and even mendacious.

She is probably the consistently highest selling politically conservative author in the country. She's irreverent and funny and smarter than most all who interview her or review her.

Me insult? When have I insulted anyone. I think Ms. Coulter and I have this in common. People who don't like their views and thoughts disparaged internalize a feeling of profound hurt, and then feel victimized. It's an "occupational" hazard, I guess.

You do not call quotes # 2 and 3 "HATE"? I really hope you do not agree with her on those topics. Her quote #1 shows stupidity.

These are the remarks of a sane person? No, they are not! These are real quotes and are even taken from Fox Noise itself.
Even scarier are the number of people who think that Coulter speaks the truth.

These and dozens of other quotes that Coulter has put on the record, are not witty sarcasm, they are outrageous and incediary. I disagree about her sanity, unfortunately I think she is perfectly sane, but vicious, and intelligent enough to know that her horribly mean-spirited rhetoric will make her millions of dollars pandering to the basest of intincts in her relatively small audience. Richie, I really cannot beleive you find these kind of statements to be witty or in any way helpful to anyone's cause - if you do I am disappointed.

If she was not a very attractive woman I doubt she would be as successful as she is.....I can rarely read more then a paragraph or two of her stuff before she says something so "odd" ( I am being kind here) that I don't waste any more time to finish it...

Number 1.?

I won't answer this. I'll just link her column which I'd bet almost anything you never read, but are just posting a soundbite. She cites much documentation. Read it; maybe you'll actually learn something.
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=42347

Number 2 ?

Abortion doctors have the protection of the law in their murder of innocents. I say this as a firm believer in the sanctity of life. Ms. Coulter is making a point. It's a good one. Why is one life worth more than another? She skewered your belief and you call it hate. Thank you for making my point and hers. You couldn't have been more helpful.

Number 3 ?

In making a point about the need for more conservative justices on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Ms. Coulter made a bad joke in wishing for the elimination from the court of the most knee-jerk liberal judge on the court at the time. She immediately at the time she made this remark to the students at Philander Smith College said "That's just a joke, for you in the media." She also made other off color jokes about Supreme Court judges to howls of laughter from her audience. It was a bit over the top and a stupid thing to say, but when people are killing innocent life, sometimes you fantasize about the ones enabling this horror.

[Guest]

I have to wonder why someone like Bill Maher calls Ann Coulter a friend. I heard this from his own lips, on his show, with her there and she agreed with him. He was trying to be polite in confronting her about her more incendiary remarks but that part of the panel conversation didn't go very far. They went back into joking about dating each other.

It *does* make me wonder how much of that is "Ann Coulter (tm)" and how much is Mrs. Coulter's baby girl all grown up. How much of that is the image she's portraying in order to sell books and keep her income stream healthy?

But when it comes to that kind of political humor? I'll take P. J. O'Rourke over her any day (I have several of his books and his essay "Terror of the Euroweenies" reprinted in his "Holidays in Hell" book is probably my favorite of all time).

[Guest]

While folks like Coulter & Limbaugh & Beck & Olbermann & Schultz may actually have some belief in what they are communicating, it is my belief that, in truth, they know what they do earns them their considerable income. Disciples of theirs are probably more vehement in adopting their beliefs that they are themselves...and that is what is scary. :doh:

I have heard Bill say that she was a friend as well. Never made any sense, but what you say is a good explaination. I think MOST of what she says is for shock value and maintaining a persona to rake in the big bucks. Feels kind of like the TV preachers who wind up being pretty scummy and/or in it for the bucks.

But when it comes to that kind of political humor? I'll take P. J. O'Rourke over her any day (I have several of his books and his essay "Terror of the Euroweenies" reprinted in his "Holidays in Hell" book is probably my favorite of all time).

Ann Coulter and liberal N.Y. Congressman Andrew Stein dated for a while. Who knows what attracts one person to another. Maybe Ann Coulter appreciates Bill Maher's caustic humor which is much in the same vein as hers, albeit from the opposite perspective. Most likely, despite all this political turmoil, they've interacted in a human way and found each other to be caring people.

(Full disclosure: I loathe Bill Maher and cannot tolerate what he calls humor. So, I guess that put me in an intellectual quandary on this topic)

My ultra conservative brother is married to the most left wing radical vegan woman I know. They don't discuss politics. She is also one of the most loving caring involved parent I've ever seen, who dotes on her children, and now their children and always has youngster vying for her lap.

While folks like Coulter & Limbaugh & Beck & Olbermann & Schultz may actually have some belief in what they are communicating, it is my belief that, in truth, they know what they do earns them their considerable income. Disciples of theirs are probably more vehement in adopting their beliefs that they are themselves...and that is what is scary. :doh:

Spot on Dale! And it is scary, something about worshiping graven idols.......
