Viva la Ann

Feb 1, 2009 - 11:25 pm 2. Gozer the Carpathian:

*Chuckles*

She’s so much fun to hear from.

This line is hilarious:
“Some publishing houses do, but they’re going out of business. Recessions are good for people selling things consumers actually want.”

So true.

Feb 1, 2009 - 11:37 pm 3. Typewriter_King:

The reason they can’t portray Ann as an airhead is that she has the credentials they most respect, she was a law review editor. The best they can do is insist she’s a notch below the Columbia Law Review editor.

Those of us that went another route in life, like Rush and Glenn Beck, are easier to pick at (even though Rush’s brother David holds the same views, and is well credentialed).

Was this interview conducted over email? There are a few clues in the transcript, like Ann having to tell you she thought of something off the top of her head in a few seconds. It sounds like something someone would say firing off a quick email response, more than in a live conversation.

It is not bête noir but bête noirE (bête is feminine in French).

Feb 2, 2009 - 2:08 am 5. mik:

if only she wasn’t so obnoxious….but then that’s how she makes money.

Feb 2, 2009 - 2:20 am 6. vivo:

AC looks like a whore, talks like a whore, walks like a whore . . could she possibly be a whore?

Her principle is to sell her soul to make a lot of money. She’s successful because “there is a sucker born every minute”.

I don’t pity her. I pity the fools.

Feb 2, 2009 - 2:24 am 7. formwiz:

vivo is obviously into projection. Ad hominem (or, in this case, feminem) is the last resort of someone without a real argument. That’s why the Left uses it so much.

Feb 2, 2009 - 3:47 am 8. Brian Richard Allen:

Good to see those suffering from the FasciSSocialist Psychosis are still as consumed as ever by their driving envy, hatred, rage and resentment, vivo. Can hardly wait to see how uyou and your ilk feel after the few days, two weeks at most, it will take until the mobbed-up murtadd Muslim Marxist Arab-African’s besquatting and bemanuring of our once most hallowed house has caused his Crime Family’s “administration’s” collapse around his Toby Jug lugs.

And you aught to meet the lady, mik, before you attempt another mischaracterization. Ms Coulter is an absolutely delightful person, impeccably well mannered, kind, attentive, softly spoken — and as humble as any Human Being you will ever know!

Ann Coulter: a Dagny Taggart without the railroad?

She reminds me of the characters played by Katherine Hepburn in the late ’30s and early ’40s: smart, funny, irreverent, and almost always right.

Feb 2, 2009 - 4:45 am 10. Boris:

Liberals play victim in order to advance, oppress, and create real victims.

…

>It’s amazing that Republicans ever win any elections with the most powerful institution in America — the mainstream media — trying to turn all conservatives into this week’s Emmanuel Goldstein, while treating the most ghastly liberals as if they are sparkling Adonises.

The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Coulter’s “take down” of evolution sealed her reputation as someone not to be taken seriously by anyone except the dinosaur (sorry, Jesus-horse) right.

Feb 2, 2009 - 5:01 am 11. HEWLESS:

My favorite line from your interview is the “spa” feeling she revels in after being on stage with those screaming krones the view bags.

Truly an angel in our midst.

Wish she were utilized better by the GOP.

Keep on sayin’ what needs sayin’, Ann!

Feb 2, 2009 - 5:20 am 13. Northern Light:

I really love Ann Coulter.
But then again, I love Pro Wrestling.

Feb 2, 2009 - 5:35 am 14. Magic:

Liberals play the victim role to get the pity response. The sheeple in America love the underdog and if you can convince them you are, they will vote for any empty suit (Obama, Biden, Piglosi, Reid, Murtha, Franks, Dodd, the list is endless).

Feb 2, 2009 - 5:52 am 15. mk:

I love Coulter. She plays the left like a fiddle and every single time, they rise to fight her. And she laughs her way to the bank. (case in point: Vivo and Boris)

I actually read a couple of her books and they are pretty good. Plus she’s been on RedEye a few times and anyone who can put up with Schulz and Gutfeld is alright in my book.

Feb 2, 2009 - 6:09 am 16. Craig:

“As in dealing with feral animals, you should never let liberals detect fear.”

That is HILARIOUS!

Feb 2, 2009 - 6:12 am 17. Broadsword:

Vivo, how wonderful to hear that you believe in the existence of the soul. Will your be going to Heaven or that other place you don’t believe in either?
Oh, by the way, one “sucker” out of every four dies from choice. Cool, right…

Feb 2, 2009 - 6:15 am 18. WR Jonas:

Funny that someone would bring up evolution. With the atheist and evolutionists arguments literally coming apart like wet tissue paper.I imagine Ann Coulter is the scariest thing they can fantasize about.

Feb 2, 2009 - 6:19 am 19. Parabellum:

“With the atheist and evolutionists arguments literally coming apart like wet tissue paper…”

Uhh, you wanna try again, Jonas?

Feb 2, 2009 - 6:48 am 20. Sara for America:

If Ann Coulter was a liberal, she would be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize, you know it. They would love everything about her if she mercifully castigated conservatives. The meaner the better with those folks.

I wish Ann would come spend a day with me. My own personal “crap bodyguard.”

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:05 am 22. Bonnie_:

Darwin didn’t have the electron microscope, so his theory is designed around the concept that a single cell is a simple organism. Now that we know cells are incredibly complex, Darwinists are scrambling around trying to explain macroevolution with “lightning strikes” and “extraterrestrial spores.” If I were a Darwinist, I’d use “Merlin’s Magic Wand” as my theory. It sounds nifty and makes as much sense as a lightning strike.

And no human can observe Ann Coulter without concluding that God is real, He loves us, and wants us to be happy!

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:16 am 23. JH Spyker:

It’s penetrating interviews like this that have made PJs such a roaring success!

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:17 am 24. Rob De Witt:

Anybody wanna bet on how many of her detractors have read her books? I’m still waiting for “Guilty” from the library (a long waiting list, even in this most Liberal county in the country [according to the Congressional Record]), but “High Crimes and Misdemeanors”, “Slander”, “Treason”, “Godless” et al are models of densely researched and trenchant argument. Plus she cracks me up.

The woman is a genius, with God’s own gift for self-promotion. Wotta gal.

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:19 am 25. Jim Baker:

I have read three of Ann’s books and they are very good salve for the conservative who feels weary from the daily barrage of socialist pap. She gives it back to them in every same way she gets it from them. Most of us wish we had time to do that, because we do know that when it gets right down to it, socialists are losers and they know it. I had this book on my Christmas list but it didn’t come out in time for Christmas, so I will gladly buy it this year.

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:45 am 26. Boris:

And no human can observe Ann Coulter without concluding that God is real, He loves us, and wants us to be happy!

Truly, Ann Coulter is Jesus in heels. lol.

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:51 am 27. RV:

“And no human can observe Ann Coulter without concluding that God is real, He loves us, and wants us to be happy!”

Interesting piont-of-view, considering she is a person filled with an incredible amount of vile and hatred, you believe that we can see a being of love through her.

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:53 am 28. sambo hux:

She smokes. She drinks. She’s never been married. She can’t quite figure out the whole voting thing. She says women should “keep their legs together until they’re married.” So, I guess Ann’s a virgin. And that’s a shame because she is so attractive, not in that “pretty” way but in that “I’ll give you another gram if you snort it off my Glock” way. Ann, you’re the All American girl – raised in privilege, insulated from responsibility, and now moving through the latter part of your life with all the alacrity and delusion our celebrity culture bestows.

Allow me to indulge in her formula: Every soldier who died in Iraq is a coward. The only reason conservatives are Republicans is because they know America won’t elect Nazis. Nancy Reagan married Ronald Reagan on the rebound after Frank Sinatra turned down her offer of a BJ in the coat room at the Copa.

There you go, another steaming pantload of marketing elitism from this silly old polemicist . . . ME!

Feb 2, 2009 - 7:57 am 29. Steve P.:

You guys know that all her vitriol is an act and that she dates liberals, right?

Just thought you guys would like to be aware that your beloved blonde right-wing bombshell tells you all what you’d like to hear to get you all worked up, takes your money and uses it to buy lingere to appease her liberal dude.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:10 am 30. Joe Bison:

Liberal fundamentalists are incensed by
Coulter making money from writing books? Well
she doesn’t live off the public purse like most
liberals for one thing[swivel servant, grant,
welfare, prison etc].

She actually has to produce something people
want. You cut that off and you shut her up-
wait that is what the liberals want!

If BS liberal newspapers actually wanted to
sell papers they would have Coulter and Steyn
writing for them. However, they would rather
push a political viewpoint instead. A token
RHINO will have to suffice.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:11 am 31. Jack:

Bonnie, cells ARE simple organisms. This has not changed–nor is it disputed. Are they more complex than thought in Darwin’s time–absolutely. But that does not change the simple observable fact that animals with features that make them better at propagation become the dominant strains of their species–or that the process can continue until one of two things happens. They dominant strain can replace the rest of it’s kind–and all the members of that species will have the trait(change over time, what ‘creationists call ‘micro-evolution’) or the dominant strain can breed so well that it is able to move into a different niche in the ecology, leaving behind the other strain and breeding exclusively with others who share the trait(speciation–what creationists call ‘macro-evolution’). Both of these things can be demonstrated in a laboratory.

And neither deny the existence of God.

The theory of evolution has become tarred with the actions of atheists and leftists who seek to use it to prove their positions correct.

But it must be remembered that Darwin was not trying to disprove the existence of God, or deny the Creation. He was, at worst, simply trying to understand it.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:13 am 32. RE:

27. RV:

It’s not hate that drives her. Ann just loves pushing their buttons – brilliantly illustrating how rigidly programmed, predictable, and hypersensitive leftists tend to be. It’s funny to watch.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:14 am 33. Laura:

I imagine that most men are terrified of this woman. I am also a loud conservative, blond, intelligent and on occasion forget to use the part of my brain that filters when to shut up. I will most likely remain single, just like Ann will.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:23 am 34. LynnS:

Ewwwww! I think that their are some unnamed commenters (Vivo #6, sambo hux #28) who find AC oddly repellent and attractive at the same time leading to bodily effluent spilling into and onto clothing and keyboards. Bring out the Lysol and start the washer!

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:27 am 35. geoffgo:

Laura,

Do you ever visit Colorado?

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:29 am 36. Rob De Witt:

Laura,

Glad you’re an intelligent conservative, and outspoken woman, but you do men an enormous disservice (as Coulter does not) in assuming “men are terrified of this woman”.

It should be apparent, if only from this comment stream, that many men find intelligent women enormously attractive, particularly when they take responsibility for their own feelings as Ann Coulter does.

If all the men you meet are “terrified” of you, maybe your own choices in men should be examined. Just a thought.

Thanks for the cleaning tip. Your experience shows.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:36 am 38. seven:

We should expect any moment for Wunder Barry to tell the minions to not read her books.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:40 am 39. Bob M:

All of Ann Coulter’s books should be required reading for the many weak-kneed, gutless, so-called Republican congressmen that we foolishy helped put into office.

I fervently believe that, after reading a few of her books, they may actually begin to grow a spine, show some guts and begin to start pushing the the Conservative values for which we elected them to do.

Those would be all welcome changes compared to the hyperventilating, hand-wringing, apologetic, milquetoasts, that, seemingly, appear to soil themselves everytime they are confronted by those ‘nasty’ liberal/socialist, democrats.

Feb 2, 2009 - 8:52 am 40. Still Bill:

I love Ann Coulter: She’s beautiful, intelligent, sexy, and she doesn’t put up with bullsh*t from liberal Democrats. I hope a few more elected Repubicans follow her lead.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:03 am 41. Pinkie Ann LeBrainne:

I wish I had another son, so he could woo Ann Coulter and bring her home to Mama.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:08 am 42. LynnS:

Your welcome sambo hux #37 though I humbly submit to you that it doesn’t take experience to recognize steaming effluent on clothing or keyboards as you yourself alluded to it, just as a toddler being potty trained comes to mommy exclaiming.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:10 am 43. Captain Obvious:

Ann Coulter is a refreshing dash of icy water. Needs a follow up analogous to a vigorous towel drying and then we are ready to go get ‘em. I’d recommend Mike Huckabee’s books–Do the Right Thing, Character IS the Issue, as a chaser to bring us down to practical daily work toward overcoming the liberal lunacy. Real conservatives are going to have to get together and quit fighting each other (btw, those aiming for the highest office money/influence/double dealing can buy (e.g.,) Mitt Romney need not apply.) ‘Scuse the parentheses within parentheses please!

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:10 am 44. tanstaafl:

In contention for best ever Ann retort

BC: I must say that I am filled with admiration for the way you sat before those inquisitors/twits on The View and remained dignified throughout. Apart from publicly displaying your bravery, what’s the payoff from appearing alongside those demented harpies?

Ann Coulter: Being around that bunch makes me feel younger and more attractive! It’s like going to a spa.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:17 am 45. WaveyDavey:

I love how Ann sticks her finger in the eye of the talking head beliefs and we watch them whine how her “tone” is inappropriate. It was frustrating how the talking heads interviewing her could not get over the “tone” thing and actually discuss the facts and statistics she presents.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:23 am 46. Rob De Witt:

For another great Coulter retort, I lean towards her answer to Sean Hannity regarding her experience on The View:

“It’s the most fun a girl can have that doesn’t involve a paper gown and an ice-cold speculum.”

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:25 am 47. tanstaafl:

Liberals play victim in order to advance, oppress, and create real victims.

The key to the liberal shtick.

Witness the current President relentlessly reinforcing the notion of horrid economic straits…”It will take years to recover.”

“hard at work expanding the victim pool”

Thanks for sharing that, Rob.

Definitely a good one

Hey Boris,
Interesting, and very very very intelligent comments. Again.
For someone who has rewritten the laws of generics that is.
You must be in line for a Nobel Prize in Biology, what with your brilliant discovery.

Her interviews remind me of Frank Zappa interviews, back in the day. Not for content always, though Zappa was a fiscal conservative, but for fearlessness and superior arguments.

I think that, like Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter awakens latent feelings of heterosexuality among some breeds of Leftists.

That’s why when she’s mentioned they perform their freak so…

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:49 am 52. Pat J:

Ann Coulter. Somewhere in Iowa a cornfield is missing its scarecrow.

Feb 2, 2009 - 9:51 am 53. e:

I have a small criticism I wish Ms. Coulter would look into. Even when you win the argument with logic, facts and case studies your opponent will leave feeling that they won the argument.

Case in point: The View. You were talking that single mothers are sabotaging their children by not providing both positive male ufemale role models. One of the View hosts decided to counter with the “You have no right to criticize” fallacy. By answering the one-two-three of: Married? Kids? You’ve got no right!! you let her be smug in her own sh*t.

20/20 hindsight I know. But if these mental adolescents leave smug they’ll never learn a thing.

Peace,

Jack, in a comment thread about Ann Coulter, it might be useful to actually read her books before you go about making yourself a fool by asserting that cells are simple organisms.

Please read her books, particularly “Godless” where she carefully deconstructs all the third-grade bromides that you now repeat as an adult, such as “cells are simple organisms.”

Sigh. I am SO wasting my time by responding to this. Still, it’s worth a try.

Feb 2, 2009 - 10:17 am 60. Brian:

Just finished “Guilty”. I especially loved the last chapter, “Brave Beautiful Liberals”. Ann is awesome. I have been telling people for years how surprised I am that Republicans can win anything with the mainstream media acting as the democrat party’s campaign managers 24/7.

I enjoy Coulter’s brand of entertainment as well as the next guy, but please please please do not counsel anyone to consult Coulter for objective scientific knowledge. She’s not a microbiologist. She’s an entertainer.

Steve, darling, she’s a well respected attorney. You know, a lawyer? Has read for the law, graduated from law school, taken the bar, is a lawyer?

Of course it is discouraging to realize that a brilliant lawyer can also be incisive, witty, and able to make public appearances and defend her views. Then, to realize her books are as airtight as a legal brief… what’s a liberal to do?

Oh, I know. Make fun of her beauty, accuse her of secretly being a man, and scoff at her intelligence. Yeah, been there. Seen that. Booooring.

Of course, Ann Coutler is one of my heroes, along with Winston Churchill, Bill Bernback, Tom Paine and Rush Limbaugh.

But now I need more than heroes. I need help.

I hope my friends here at liberty central are in a helpful mood.

As part of my effort to run hapless Harry, niggardly Nancy and baby killer Barack out of town on a rail, I need to rename B. Hussein’s so called “Economic Stimulus Plan.

(Remember, when Reagan wanted to create the stragetic defense initiative, dem Dems, with help from their left wing media mavens, tried to deminish it by renaming it, calling it

“Star Wars”.)

Well, here’s a few new names for B. Hussein’s so called Economic Stimulus Plan.

(like we know the fairness doctrine is really the censorship doctrine)

So here’s my thoughts. Obviously, I need more. Let’s, together, pick the best one we can come up with and plaster it everywhere.

Here’s my beginning list: The Economic Senselessness Plan; The Economic Cluelessness Plan; The Economic Aimlessness Plan; The Economic Brainlessness Plan;
The Enigmatic Stimulus Plan; The Economic Goofiness Plan.

Anyway, you get the idea.

Please give it a name we can all be contemptuous of. Because it’s a total earmarked, porked up, colossal waste of your tax dollars; financial irresponsibilty I liken to this; if each of you got a thousand new credit cards and maxed them out in a day. And did it every day for the rest of the year.

Feb 2, 2009 - 11:34 am 67. sambini:

To get a feel for how Ann can be in a neutral environ, check out her appearance with Dr Phil (Alan Colmes was on there, as was Scott McClellan); she actually got to speak a paragraph! Dr Phil seemed intrigued, and genuinely curious to let her expand rather than rely on the normal ’soundbites’.

Feb 2, 2009 - 11:49 am 69. Sonny:

It is amazing to me that there are those that find Ann acceptable if she would only act with the behavior of their image. If she did, she wouldn’t be the person she is.

She says what she does and does what she does because she is only being the person she is. She is real and there is nothing phoney about her.

Sarah Palin is the same way.

It only tells me, liberals do not like real people who think, talk and act differently than they do. They are infantilized due to being improperly developed as children and now the rest of us have to live with the consequences.

Feb 2, 2009 - 11:55 am 70. Mark Kruse:

I rather enjoy Coulter’s writing and share most of her views, but in this interview as in many others I’ve heard over the years she comes through like a bitch extraordinaire on steroids. If she is to create converts for the conservative movement (rather than preach to the converted) she must not only present solid arguments but also appear to be somewhat sympathetic and human. I may share many of her views, but would hate to have her as my next door neighbor – and I’m afraid that sentiment is shared by many. And Rush better not buy the house next door, either, even if hearing him once a month is quite entertaining.

SAMBO HUX….your stupidity is eclipsed only by your arrogance.

Feb 2, 2009 - 12:32 pm 74. conservativeguy:

It’s interesting to read the comments here (especially from the liberals) that accuse Ann of being mean and nasty and that lament that she is not kinder in her approach. All of these comments prove the thesis of her book: We expect her to be nicer in her words because we don’t want people to be turned off or offended. We have claimed that we are “victims” of her “nastiness”, expect her to changed her tone, and in so doing, we have created a class of victims who will never hear the truth that she speaks because we want to protect them and ourselved from her being mean.

It’s great when a plan comes together.

Feb 2, 2009 - 12:58 pm 75. sambo hux:

Martini-Henry:

Are you one of the “real” people I read so much about on this board? Let me know, because I need to know whether to take your opinion seriously. If you’re not “real” then let me know what kind of person you are – digital perhaps? Anamorphic? Embryonic? Are you a zygote? Come on, it’s OK, you can tell me. Imaginary? (Scratch that one. I know conservatives have no imaginations – unless it involves splooging all over a keyboard. ) Short of identifying your “realissitude” perhaps you can tell me what I said that was untrue. One thing, that’s all.

Feb 2, 2009 - 12:58 pm 76. thomas:

Whiner Libs can’t stand it that Ann C hangs their butts in slings with every jab & exposes them for the tools they are. I’d pay real $$$ to witness the ever-silly vivo try a few rounds in a cage-match with Miss Anne.

Feb 2, 2009 - 1:17 pm 78. gnatsandcamels:

Everything Ann says is pure gold. The worse part about being on sabbatical at my university is that I don’t have a desk to proudle display “Guilty.” I get more insane comments about Ann than any public display of the Bible ever could!

You go, girl! You’re my role model!

Feb 2, 2009 - 1:35 pm 79. Sarah Burnett:

(Sigh) the trolls are out en masse today. Ann does that to libbies, drives them to distraction…or as 51. LynnS says…drives them to “expel their pent-up frustrations.” Thanks for the laugh out loud guffaw that awoke a few of my co-workers. I’ll go back to mopping up the spilled coffee in a sec.

In an interview Ann referred to the View as a magnet school for harpies in training and to them as “harp seals”. She also said they were adept at teaching people how to pretend to be a college grad.

But this is the best:

Ann said of her appearance on the view that “it was the most fun a girl could have that didn’t involve a paper gown and an ice-cold speculum.” Another guffaw!

That’s why the libbies hate her.

Many on the Left attempt to demean or destroy good people who they perceive as a challenge to their worldview. (see attacks on Sarah Palin & her family, probes into Joe Wurzelbacher…)

Coulter has a funny comeback line for Keith O in this video.

Ann is my hero. I only wish I could be as articulate and well organized in my arguments as she is. It is apparent to me that many liberals are fearful of the facts that she presents… so fearful that they are unwilling to even give the research she has done a serious look through. To keep myself educated, I read on both sides of the aisle and no liberal and not even any other conservative authors have the same amount of annotation and reference back to real studies as Ann does. Her arguments are air tight and that is what I love about her.

I actually had a “friend” remove me from Facebook today because she found out I was a “conservative”… what does that say about the character of the left? Other than the attacks that Boris and Vivo seem to think are intelligent and witty… But then again, Obama considers himself an intellectual elite and can’t find anything more intelligent to say to Matt Lauer than “Jessica Simpson is in a weight battle.” That’s real classy!

Thanks to you conservatives on the boards… you give me hope.

Spot on as usual, Ann! I am a proud new member of Conservatism- which is a miracle in that I have grown up and lived entirely amongst liberals in one of the most liberal states I might add! The media propoganda machine really puts those blinders on! For me it was like looking at an Escher painting where all I saw was the young bride and suddenly I saw the old woman! Let me just say, I am ever so glad I saw this before I was either!!! I am so greatful to Dr. Thomas Sowell for his clear, accurate and multifaceted presentation of economics and for uncovering the many fallacies! Ann Coulter for her screamingly witty and ever so refined representation of truth. Last but certainly no least, our US Armed forces, you are my heros and I salute you!

You obviously never have read a single book by her.

If you had, you would then realize sh is anything but “full of vile and hatred.” I am assuming you know how to actually comprehend what you read.

I understand she dates liberal men to learn their stupidities. She is one smart lady. And contrary to what the libs say she has real heart. I’ll never forget her column about her father after he died. I felt the same about mine and it really touched me.

Dear avoidswork (#104)

I think you might have that wrong on a straightforward reading of the letter sent to other site owners who carry a PJM link on their home pages. At the close of the first quarter (end of March) those site owners have been informed that they will no longer be paid for carrying the PJM link/ad on their own sites.

At least this is how I read what was stated in the letter to the other website owners: …have decided to wind down the Pajamas Media Blogger and advertising network effective March 31, 2009. The PJM portal and the XPressBlogs will continue as is.

Might you be one of those lefty types that jumps all over mis- and dis- information like flies on sh!t ?

HEY VIVO! You’re so smart! Wanna know why you’re probably wrong about every position you’ve ever taken in your shallow little life? Because you’ve resorted to vile personal attacks against “AC”!

I love men and I am not a fem-nazi (as quoted by the great one, El-Rushbo) However, like Ann and so many other great conservative women out there, I do not feel that I should apologize or compromise what and who I am. I smoke, I drink, I swear and I support the right to bear arms. I am also feminine, intelligent and attractive. What’s not to love?!

Laura:

If you smoke you are a burden to society. Smoking is the cause of much of our health care related costs. Yet you blatantly indulge in an activity proved to be harmful to yourself, your family and your country. It’s people like you who are undermining all the hard work of our brave men and women in harm’s way fighting to sustain our quality of life. You have no respect for your flag, your country or your military. How DARE you! You are tearing this great nation apart. (What, too much? Over the top? Irrelevant?)

You’re “feminine, intelligent and attractive.” I have found consistently throughout life that people who describe themselves in this way are typically the LAST people who possess these traits . . . or they wouldn’t say these things. Instead of confidence it’s a sad and transparent lack of self-esteem – something Sally Field would say.

And it’s not “fem-nazi” it’s femInazi. Here are a couple of others:

“If people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be
convicted and they ought to be sent up.” (You know he wears that cochlear implant because of deafness induced by his oxycontin addiction, right? )

“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”

Is this what it takes to be “the great one” with you people? You are so lost. That’s exactly why we’re going to give you lip service about bipartisanship, but in truth, we’re going to steamroll the flatulent oversized appliances you call heroes and their sorry-ass philosophies into the small damp dark corners of American life. You’ll like it there. Nobody asks you to think. Nobody expects honesty. And everybody wears a flag pin.

Feb 3, 2009 - 8:48 am 119. tanstaafl:

Feb 3, 2009 - 9:35 am 122. view from afar:

Sambo hux, just out of curiousity what country are you from? Do you live the US? I am an American, a conservative one who is stuck in France for reasons someone like you could most likely NEVER understand nor relate to (my choice “stuck” not “victim stuck”, although many days I do feel a victim of socialism and pc thought control).
Oxycontin is a prescribed medication, and if you are a true liberal, you should understand that if you become addicted to prescribed narcotics, you don’t make fun of that addiction…or is that sympathy only for the people who are in the left/victim type mentality? I have no idea about Mr Limbaugh’s health problems, not my problem you know. I’ll bet your anger over this is that you smoke pot, and because you can get “sent up” for that, you need to have no sympathy for anyone else…let alone not see that the illicit trades create SO many of societys evils. And making them legal doesn’t seem to have worked for the Dutch, but I can’t remeber where I read some of that and it’s probably in French.

As for the James Earl Ray, that definitely has to be taken out of context, or I would be hugely surprized…I personally don’t listen to Rush, however many of the people that I know that do would not tolerate that at all, as they greatly and putspokenly admire Dr King, and listen to Rush.

And as for your making fun of Ms Coulter for being unkind earlier in the posts, uh not so bad yourself there in the last paragraph. Please don’t waste your brain cells slamming me back, I am not trying to slam you, just point out that you are a die hard in your politics preaching to people who will never believe that you are right, let alone more generous and kind, it is very easy to be generous and kind with other people’s money.

Great interview. I’ll always admire women like Sarah Palin, and Ann Coulter. And they are not two of a kind folks, similar but not the same. Oh and Europeans still hate Americans.

Vivo (113) – We find your political views to be repulsive. But wait, we all pay our taxes… It’s easy to want utopia when someone else is footing the bill. It’s like a 5 year old crying over a toy at the store – they want it, and it’s great – as long as it comes out of someone else’s pocket book.

I would be interested to know how versed you are in American history and WHY our ancestors (at least mine) fought in the Revolutionary War to secure our FREEDOM. If you understood why they fought and were willing to give their lives, you wouldn’t be a liberal. The concept of freedom (which conservatives stand for) is that you receive that which you EARN… thus, you can create ANY life you want to. Liberalist policies deny you that freedom by making you pay for other people’s bad choices.

Our tax dollars should go to pay for things that benefit EVERYONE – national security and infrastructure. The rest is state’s rights…

If you feel compelled to donate to a cause, do it through charity, not through force.

This is all the heart of Ann’s arguments which are based on sound legal knowledge which is based on our Constitution which was written to guarantee our freedoms – which are slowly being taken away one by one because of Marxist policies (note: If you have ever taken economics – which you may have, I don’t know you – you would know that even Marx himself said that socialism cannot work unless you have a society of unlimited wealth. That is a nonexistent condition on this planet – or even in this universe.

So, Vivo, please refute for me one SPECIFIC fact that Ms. Coulter presents an see if you can put a hole in her argument. My guess is you do not have a J.D. (law degree) based on how you present yourself. So, please feel free, but instead of using invectives, why don’t you try putting together an actual argument? It would create a much more delightful conversation.

I classify myself as intelligent, attractive and feminine because that is a fact as I see it and as many others who tell me so on a regular basis see it. Actually, I do wear a flag pin, it’s a joint U.S./Canada pin since I am a Canadian resident who happens to love and respect America and Americans and everything that they stand for.

Ann is about as witty and intelligent as a Droopy is ambitious. She makes gross generalizations about liberals and everyone consumes her logic like its some sort of life force.

Face it, she is a media whore. She likes to use emotion to get people to believe her. Unfortunately her arguments lack the only real stability an argument can have; logic. She never seems to understand the idea that there are intelligent liberals that simply have different views then hers.

I am a liberal, but I don’t run around raving about the conservatives as if they were some sort of societal vampire. I don’t assume conspiracy theories that republicans ALWAYS have ulterior motives to be true.

Ann Coulter deserves neither respect nor wealth. The only thing she deserves from me is pity. Pity for her complete and utter lack of understanding. Pity for the miserably narrow-minded life she lives. And pity for her illusion of righteousness.

1. Don’t humiliate yourself by making such a pretentious statement like “if you pay taxes – which most liberals don’t, or very litte”

Do you understand just how little respect you now hold in this argument?

Here is a specific argument that I love by Ann Coulter.

She explained in an interview that she cannot believe just how much Canadians now hate America and our values. She said this because Canada sent troops to fight in vietnam and supported are actions during that conflict…

There is one minute issue in her argument… Canada never sent troops to fight in the Vietnam Conflict. Canada never officially supported the Vietnam conflict.

Another terrific argument by her is that the wives of husbands who died on 9/11 enjoyed their death and are now basking in the wealth brought about by it.

There is only one minute issue in her argument… She has absolutely no clue what these wives are going through. She doesn’t understand what it is like to have a loved one die on the national stage. Instead she accuses these widows of loving the fact that their husbands were dead and even speculates that the husbands were probably planning on divorcing them.

Is there a crazy bitch bus that Coulter can ride on?

Do you understand why many people don’t take her seriously? She can’t even get her facts straight. An ailment you clearly suffer from as well.

“…It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950—except Goldwater in ‘64—the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.”

And from Godless:

“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. … I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much … the Democrat ratpack gals endorsed John Kerry for president … cutting campaign commercials… how do we know their husbands weren’t planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they’d better hurry up and appear in Playboy.”

Pretty funny stuff.

You go on about her dressing too provocatively, there being millions of more intelligent women (what an incredibly sophomoric comment! How old are you??), et al.

Vivo, let’s compare her background to a few on the left’s specxtrum, shall we?

Randi Rhodes and Janeen Garofalo. Tell me, is there really a comparison?

Janeen made a comment a few years back that Donald Sutherland’s portraying CiC in a t.v. program so well that he’d be an excellent President in reality! I wish I was making this up..

Randi Rhodes, listen to her emotional filled, I say emotion because it is almost entirely viewpoint rants. Can’t wait to see her show up/ speak when she’s wasted again.

You’d be doing a service to many folks here to provide your drivel on DailyKos, AirAmerica and the like. This way you may actually come off as ‘insightful.’

(law degree) based on how you present yourself. So, please feel free, but instead of using invectives, why don’t you try putting together an actual argument? It would create a much more delightful conversation.”

Yes, I don’t have a J.D.. I just speak my mind. AC may have scored some good things with her congregation, but my statement was simply reflecting my distaste on how she presents herself on TV and how gullible and emotional her fans are.

I don’t like to write looong lawyerish paragraphs, so I supercondense my ideas or feelings in just a few irritating words. If I see merit for writing arguments, I’ll do it.

144. Michael Karger “There is one minute issue in her argument… Canada never sent troops to fight in the Vietnam Conflict.”

errr, want to try that denial again Michael?

“Despite the repeated denials by CBC’s interviewer, Canada DID send troops to Vietnam. The facts are well-documented and beyond dispute. The interviewer constantly repeats his assertions, but no other source supports them. These facts contradict him: The Canadian government sent troops to Vietnam in August 1954 during the partition of Vietnam. They stayed through January 1973. They incurred casualties and several deaths. Confirmation and further details appear in the articles on International Control Commission and International Commission of Control and Supervision, both of which contain extensive links and references. The government of Canada awarded medals to 1,550 of these troops for their service between August 7, 1954 and January 28, 1973.

#33 Laura – I don’t fear a smart, strong woman. They’re very appealing. However, you’re right. I am in the minority. I have a beautiful sister. She is smart and strong… and 40+. The young guys drool over her, but are almost always afraid to approach her. Even in a bar, they stare at her from afar.

That said, I doubt I would want to be involved with someone like Ann or you. A woman with a sharp tongue in a marriage is known as a shrew. Such a marriage is hell on Earth.

I like Ann’s work. Funny stuff, but I don’t take it too seriously. She makes some good points, and she has a grenade-throwing style. Problem with that is that the moderates get blasted as well as the Libs. It loses some of its efficacy, but her style gets her HEARD. There are plenty of other more urbane conservatives, but I never hear the Libs say much at all about them.

With that evidence, I cheer Ann on. She earns her money. She gets the conservative issues heard. They may not be well-received, but they enter the public’s consciousness. It must be done to get past the MSM filters, ’cause we’re calling to the public from far off in the wilderness.

A tip to those who don’t like her: You don’t actually have to listen to her, nor read her books.

Feb 4, 2009 - 11:49 am 169. KJ Colorado:

145. Pat J – So what basis are you using to say she is a joke? The presentation is sharply humorous, but the statistics she uses to back up those arguments are, in fact, correct. And being female I enjoy having the right to vote, but the female demographic does tend to be more uninformed about policies and candidates than does the male demographic (which she cites and annotates in said section of book – the statistics are well documented).

I am glad to see that you have at least read enough of her books to know what is in there. However, none of this proves why she is a joke… she has well researched data to support her points and I can guarantee you she understands Constitutional law better than any of us here on the board.

Again, you are not giving an example of WHY you think she is a joke – just highlighting quotes of why you don’t like her… There is a huge difference between not liking her and calling her a joke.

No, she isn’t a joke… she just has different ideas than you. This is the main problem with the Left – you can’t accept that others think and feel differently than you and it infuriates you. But that is the beauty of FREEDOM. You can think and feel the way you want to. It’s your right not to like her, but people will be more likely to listen to you if you provide a constructive criticism (even through satire) rather than a bitter diatribe without substance.

If she is such a joke, how do you think you would fare in a debate on the issues with Ann? Could you refute her arguments with other facts and research?

Most people I know – even some of the best debaters – would be hard pressed to win a debate with Ann.

Feb 4, 2009 - 3:25 pm 170. KJ Colorado:

Mr. Karger -

Please check out statistics on the demographics that pay the most in taxes and which pay little to no tax at all and their typical affiliations. http://www.irs.gov, http://www.census.gov. You can also check out independent studies that have been conducted regarding political affiliation and contribution to society. Check out the Heritage Foundation or the Cato Institute or the Manhatten Institute. Lots of good studies.

I admit, that was a low blow. But I can tell you that I have many a liberal friend (my best friend in fact) and many of them do not pay taxes at all, and if so, very little because of the income bracket they are in. I am not bashing low wage earners, but if you are not paying taxes, then you can’t complain about taxes being too high and how you should get a return when you in fact have paid nothing into the system.

I myself am in a median bracket. I pay more than most (based by income bracket and property value), but I am still not getting as blasted by taxes as many others in this country.

Like I said, look at the liberal constituency, their average income, determine the tax bracket, and a large majority will be getting either full or modest returns after deductions etc. are taken into account. My thought is that most people on welfare or who are reliant on government support won’t vote Republican – which makes sense.

People who pay the most in taxes, as a rule, are typically against entitlement spending which means they are usually more conservative, which many documented studies prove (and which are documented in Ms. Coulter’s books).

I could have phrased that more tactfully – apologies for not being PC.

Feb 4, 2009 - 6:42 pm 172. Michael Karger:

Dear Kathy,

You really need to get your facts straight. Canada never officially or unofficially participated in the Vietnam conflict. Lets try not to use Wiki answer for sources. What are we in the 5th grade?

Canada did not have any military presence fighting in the Anti-communist front. In fact, Canadian citizens would come to the US and join to fight in the war. There were quite a large number of Canadian born US soldiers. The reason for this was because Canada never got involved with the Vietnam conflict.

In 1954, Canada participated in an attempted ceasefire enforcement coordinated by NATO and joined the ICC. This was not a military action but instead a peacefully organized attempt at forming ceasefire treaties. It started long before the Vietnam Conflict and was a completely different event. That is where those medals came from.

What’s so damn hysterical is that your Vietnam war bibliography explicitly states that Canadian forces only participated in the ICC and attempted enforcement of Geneva law.

What I’m trying to get at here is that YOU ARE WRONG. That also means that Ann Coulter is wrong. And myself and CBS are right.

But I must applaud you for your efforts.

Yours Truly,

Michael Karger

Feb 4, 2009 - 8:44 pm 173. Michael Karger:

I appreciate the clarification KJ. The point I was trying to make was that liberals pay taxes when they need to pay them.

You can’t blame a liberal for making 4K a year and not being able to pay taxes (the same goes for a conservative making 4K a year). But there are plenty of moderately and substantially wealthy liberals out there that pay taxes just like anyone else. Just because we hold different political beliefs doesn’t all of a sudden mean we hate taxes.

Who on God’s blue planet ever argued that American Liberals & Democrats “hate taxes?” Taxes are to Liberals & Democrats as Manna was to the Israelites in the Desert.

Yes, it was clear to me that Canada sent troops to Vietnam in 50’s during partition for the purpose of Geneva enforcement. However, there actually were Canadian Troops on the ground in Vietnam, literally, for whatever purpose. You’ve presented only your rendition of what Ann C. said in an interview, giving no citation that can be checked for her exact words. Your argument is built around your own say-so: not acceptable or persuasive. Citation please.

You are, of course, free to make your own spin or to not ‘get’ her humor. Plenty of people do and don’t, the former & latter respectively. Was she being ironic? Without verifiable information further discussion seems pointless.

I submit that better minds than mine or yours crawl all over her stuff regularly looking for factual errors. As a trained attorney with a history of baiting jackal pursuers just for fun, she knows to make the basis of her arguments watertight. I find her treatment of politics and ideology as a blood-sport vastly amusing. Perhaps that’s the difference between her defenders & her detractors.

Big Dawg and Kathy,

The facts state otherwise. Honestly I have no way of verifying that you were in fact in Vietnam or that you saw Canadian soldiers. For all I know you are just trying to pull facts out of thin air to debase my argument.

Ann Coulter was referring to the Vietnam conflict and stated explicitly Canada’s support and contribution in that Conflict. Her statements weren’t ambiguous but instead pretty obvious.

Oh and Neo, you just stated 3 people who didn’t pay taxes. If that is enough statistical evidence for you to draw conclusions on an entire segment of the population then you are an absolute idiot. On top of that you know nothing about statistics.

Not to mention you are constantly constradicting yourself. You make it sound like liberals hate taxes….yet you are now saying that they love them?

Feb 8, 2009 - 7:48 pm 187. neonidas:

Mikial my dear comrade,

Stop being silly. Your extreme position on the Left prevents a clear point of view. No Right minded person has ever claimed that Liberals “hate taxes.” But you know that. As does every one else. It’s very clear that Liberals “love taxes” especially those paid by the earning class. In other words, Liberals love other peoples taxes. It is Liberal’s “Manna from Heaven.”

BTW: You people really need to stop referring to yourselves as Liberals. You all give a bad name to Liberalism.

Feb 9, 2009 - 11:12 am 189. Michael Karger:

Neo

Being a marxist, the last thing I want is more taxes for the “working class”. I think that the problem here is that you hold a drastically different definition of “working class”.

I want a progressive tax system.

I mean come on, I made 8000 dollars last year working part time and being a full time student. And the government still made me pay income tax. There is something wrong with the system when I have to pay taxes when I need all of my money just to get by in school, and CEOs are spending 30,000 dollars on a toilet….Where’s the justice?

As for the word “liberal”, we take that name for our admittedly open social values. The definition of liberal is

Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.

The term you are trying to identify with is “classical liberalism” which is not related to modern “liberal” ideology.

But I don’t personally call myself a liberal on a regular basis. I consider myself a “Progressive Socialist”. I think it fits my views better.

Feb 9, 2009 - 11:55 am 190. neonidas:

Comrade Mikial,

As a full time student and a progressive socialist then you won’t mind that you should be forced to give 1/4 your grades, classwork and dissertation work product to other students at another school.

Furthermore you needn’t bother to “educate” me. I was actually around before the term Liberal was hijacked and perverted by the Left.

After you matriculate and hatch from that incubator you currently find yourself come back and talk to us about how relieved you are that you can finally give according to your ability to those according to their need.

Feb 9, 2009 - 12:40 pm 191. Evan:

“As a full time student and a progressive socialist then you won’t mind that you should be forced to give 1/4 your grades, classwork and dissertation work product to other students at another school.”

I’m not a socialist or a conservative but even I can see the difference between distributing money and grades. People get by just fine without a fancy education, without money you don’t get far. You don’t inherit grades from your parents, but you can be a lazy bum and still be rich if you are lucky enough to be born into a rich family. I believe people who are active and look for work deserve unemployment benefits, I believe sick/disabled/mentally challenged people deserve to eat and have a place to stay, I believe kids deserve to be treated by a doctor if they are ill etc. These things cost money and I’m happy to pay my share.

Feb 9, 2009 - 2:22 pm 192. Michael Karger:

My hyper-conservative statistics teacher presented that “grades” argument about 4 months ago. My rebuttle silenced him…

In a classroom setting, the point of educating is to improve the individual student. In order to evaluate progress, each student must submit separate work and tests (If you want to know how Johnny is doing, you don’t have Steve take a test for him).

In the job world, I may ask for help to finish a project at my work. In class, I cannot ask a classmate to help do my homework or take my tests. I know that I need to retain the information taught and the only way I can do that is by doing my own work.

As said before, you don’t inherit intelligence or education. I cannot purchase or steal intelligence from anyone else.

The comparison is ludicrous at best.

Feb 9, 2009 - 4:45 pm 193. Pat J:

Ha. Ann Coulter is being investigated for voter fraud. Again.

Feb 9, 2009 - 7:19 pm 194. neonidas:

Comrade Mikial,

I’d wager that your stats prof was speechless at the breathtakingly beautiful example of how nature abhors a vacuum and anything can fill and empty head. Grades are the measure of competitive learning for a purpose. Otherwise GPA, degrees and awards are pointless. So don’t try to make a argument on that. That duck don’t swim. If the point of educating is to improve the individual what does Academia do with the failure? Does your institution remediate the failure to point of ensuring his permanent success in the job world? (I’d submit that most of those failures remain in Academia as department chairs.)

But of course at this point in your tender development you’d think nothing of asking a future co-worker to do his job and your’s also. That is not surprising to me. Though you will probably be surprised that your co-worker will comment on how little your eduction helped you perform your own job function. You can be sure that your annual performance review (particularly in the professional track) will well document his capacities very well. I wonder if he will share his performance raises with you?

I’ll pass your view on inheritance and stealing intelligence along to those Lions of the Left such as the Kennedy’s and the Clintons.

Feb 9, 2009 - 9:41 pm 195. Michael Karger:

What does academia do with the failure? They suggest joining the National Guard. If you think I’m kidding then go ask any high school advisor. If you aren’t going to get a scholarship, 9 times out of 10 you are going to be asked to think about joining the armed forces. Either that or they throw a brochure at you talking about how awesome technical schools are.

As for “competitive” learning, I never said the system was perfect. In fact it’s in shambles. How can you consider education competitive when certain schools get vastly more funding then others? And don’t even get me started on the No Child Left Behind Act. *gags*

If you are somehow still trying to compare an education to monetary wealth, then you are a tool.

Also, if I can’t reach a box in the stock room because I’m too short, I ask someone to help me. If that is lazy, then little people must be the laziest people on earth.

But yet again, any form of logic has apparently escaped your grasp.

If the Kennedy’s and Clintons are the lions of the left, then that sucker Limbaugh and Hannity are your lions of the right. The massive generalizations in here border on comma inducing.

Feb 10, 2009 - 10:14 pm 197. Michael Karger:

On a general rule, consumption/production would be negatively correlated.

IE the rich consume much more then they produce, and the poor produce much more then they consume. There are always exceptions, but most of the time that holds true.

As an employee at a drug store for 3 years making 8000 dollars a year, I almost certainly produced (or provided service) more then I consumed.
