And that makes it ok?
She's scum, and her wild popularity among conservatives says something pretty vile about the right-wing in this country. Yeah, maybe she's not alone with her nutball ideology, but that doesn't make her (or her fans) any less stupid.
And while I'd agree that there are plenty of offensive and stupid liberals out there, I don't think I've seen any popular ones as fundamentally angry as Ann Coulter. In fact, while both sides seem equally gifted with stupidity, the right-wing pundits seem to have a special gift for political rage. Coulter, Malkin, O'Reilly, Hannity, all those folks seem to spend an awful lot of time just screaming about stuff. Their liberal counterparts may be stupid and mean and petty and biased and all that fun stuff, but they don't seem to have the fundamentally pissed off take on everything.

Proof once again that the typical left winger on ATPN is an idiot.
Furiously taps sarcasm meter...
Come on... you're so much better than that.
Here, I'll chime in. Michael Moore and Barbara Streissand speak for all liberals. Hooray! Now I'm as dumb as both of you! :roll:
Coming from you, I find that reassuring generally that you think so.

You have it 'back asswards' as usual jedi.
I just found the video, and they laughed, applauded and even whistled a little. Both immediately after that remark, and seconds later for her speech.

Wow, you, Sir, need to see a doctor. You are either deaf, blind, or mentally deranged or a complete bald faced liar. The listening you asked for completely and totally negates your case. Though I guess you could be listening through a tin can tied to a string.
personally , I don't care much for her style.
You can speak the truth without being mean spirited...shrug

Coulter is mostly schtick. Shes trying to sell books. The more books she sells, the more money she makes. The bigger her advances get. The more controversy she riles up the more books she sells.
Its the same way with Bill O'rielly.
You are talking tens of millions of dollars.
Theres not many on this board that would turn down the money, Rush, Coulter or O'rielly make spouting mostly nonsenes to the blind sheep.

It doesnt matter if it is an act, she spoils anything that is good about conservatism. Also, this is why Mitt Romney will never be President. By apppearing with her around he just pushes away any actual conservative votes. All he has left are the rabid neocons, roughly the same 20-25 percent that never gave up on Bush while the rest of the actual thinking world did.
Mitt Romney just endorsed the fact that he thinks Edwards is a "lovely human" and that it's "A good thing."

So what "truth" about Edwards being gay would not be "mean spirited"?. Do you think its true he is gay?
If Coulter really thinks Edwards is a ?lovely human? then she should say ?John Edwards is a lovely human.? This would beg the appropriate questions like ?do you think he sexually identifies as gay, or are you using that term of art like a 5th grader would, as a general insult?? Her ?joke? allowed her to call him a ?lovely human? without actually doing so.
That?s cowardly.
I have to say I was nauseous, when I saw the clip ? not when she said what she said, but when the chorus of laughter followed it.
Last year at the same event, she warned Arab "ragheads" about violence that would be done to them and called for Supreme Court justices to be murdered -- and received standing ovations.
Is this really a "spokeswomen" for the "modern" conservitive movement?

Heh, laughable "apologist" statement...
So Ann Coulter appeared as a featured speaker today at the Conservative Political Action Conference -- the preeminent conservative event of the year.
The single most prestigious political event for conservatives of the year is a place where conservatives go to hear Democrats called faggots, Arabs called ragheads, and Supreme Court justices labeled as deserving of murder -- not by anonymous, unidentifiable blog commenters, but by one of their most popular featured speakers.
And after she does that, she is cheered wildly by an adoring conservative movement that has made her bigoted and hate-mongering screeds best-sellers.
Andrew Sullivan was (I believe) present at this event, and said this about Coulter's speech:
Wasn't Sullivan one who himself admitted to being gay?...pathetic
Anyone who went to this event - and that includes Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and Dick Cheney - knew exactly what they would be getting. Coulter's face was prominently plastered on the promotional material. The right-wing political candidates who accepted the invitations to speak there knew exactly the type of people would be there - namely, the type who continously cheer on Ann Coulter's bigoted and nakedly hateful screeds. Anyone who makes themselves a part of that event is purposely associating themselves with those sentiments. That is what this Conference is for.
If this is the "new" republican creed, I worry what these folks will do if (when) they lose in '08.

This (money)should not be a "get out of jail free card", but..at least you have a grasp of reality...
Ann Coulter is many things, but dumb is not one of them. She is extremely savvy and has propelled herself into a lucrative career by correctly assessing what it is she can (so ably) say and write that pushes the envelope among normal and civil people, but which reflects the sentiments the GOP base is too afraid to publicly utter but which they long to have validated.
They feel liberated when she speaks (hence wild cheering) and writes; she knows that. No matter that a right-wing blogger here or there will rebuke her or that she can't convince NR to publish her more extreme stuff and so leaves there in a snit (but Town Hall will take her as will David Horowitz); she is popular at CPAC and other important right-wing events. Her puerile books sell like hotcakes and stay on the NYT Bestseller list.
She has this schtick down to a very well-compensated science.
This statement also goes beyond Anne Coulter to get at a number of crucial features of the perverted, sadistic and radicalised version of "conservatism" that has dominated American politics ever since Newt Gingrich.
The driving, indelible sense of paranoia and persecution at the heart of the movement; the central role of an incredibly amorphous notion of "Political Correctness" - ubiquitous, insidious, and capable of manifesting itself in an infinite variety of ways in every sphere of life -- as the perceived source of the persecution and as motivating force for the masses and their masters alike.
The importance of a careful and elaborate division of labour in the right-wing media and propaganda machine, with specific roles and degrees of freedom assigned to each component; the deliberate in-your-face, up-yours, so-sue-me confrontational quality of Administration policy and tactics; the b*tch-slap tactic for publicly dealing with the Democrats.
The refusal ever to back down, to admit error or defeat, and the conviction that to do so is to display craven and fatal weakness; ... and, ultimately, the resulting fanatical devotion and loyalty that the Bush Administration inspires in its adherents and apologists.
There is a cult-like spirit of the Bush Follower, and even perhaps scientistic references to psychological entities like "authoritarian personalities", but I think one can be far more specific, and say a lot more, about the mechanisms and unconscious forces which drive this spirit.
Perhaps the single biggest reason why the Bush Administration, and the movement which it epitomises, inspires the kind of blind devotion it does.
Its adherents feel liberated when the Bush Administration speaks and acts, when it gives the world the finger and goes ahead and does whatever the hell it wants to do (the more opposition the better); it is this more than anything else that earns it their fervent reverence, and that suffuses them with the sense of righteous validation and of indomitable power that they crave.
No longer do we need to hide what we think, to watch what we say! exults the Bush Follower.
We are the power now! We can say whatever we want, act with impunity. get away with anything. Reality is as we say it is, and the rest of you can lick your wounds and whine from the sidelines.
