She was on CNN this morning and said this. Here's the link.
And here's a snippet...
BLITZER: Matt, you worked in the Clinton administration. Have these Democrats, with the exception of Lieberman, moved back towards the more liberal left part of the Democratic Party?
MILLER: I don't think so. And I really have to say I am offended when Ann Coulter says only Joe Lieberman is patriotic, no other Democrat is. That's such rubbish, and it's the kind of smear tactics that just is -- it's so wrong, it almost doesn't bear response. But you can't let it go.
I think what's happened is, the Republican mainstream has moved so radically to the right, that Democrats who are basically for things like basic health coverage for everyone, better schools, and more efforts to make schools better for less fortunate kids, that those kids things, as well as strong defense and international foreign policy, are things that are in the mainstream.
Most of the Democratic candidates have colesed around that. And I think any of them will present a more powerful alternative to the kind of radical conservatism we're seeing at the White House.
BLITZER: All right. We're going to take a quick break, but I'll let Ann respond quickly. You are not questioning the patriotism of any of these Democratic candidates, are you Ann?
MILLER: That is what she said.
BLITZER: Well, I'm asking her.
COULTER: I'm saying -- I noticed that Matt immediately goes to, you know, universal health care, and not what I think is rather more pressing issue, the war on terrorism. And eight of the nine don't want to fight it.
MILLER: Why can't we walk and chew gum at the same time?
BLITZER: Bu Ann, are you saying they are not patriotic? Is that what you are saying?
COULTER: I am saying they don't want to fight the war on terrorism. And the patriotic Democratic, the only one vaguely patriotic, is Joe Lieberman. And the rest of them, we would have to get used to having planes flying into our skyscrapers. That is their position.
MILLER: Oh, please.
COULTER: They would not -- they are against the treatment -- they're worried about the treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo. They're upset about John Ashcroft.
MILLER: That's absurd.
COULTER: They wouldn't go into Iraq? Well, what would they do?
MILLER: It's absurd and offensive and insulting. I mean, you've got better...
I know. I know. Everyone here knows Coulter is waaaay over the top (or do they?), but it's fun to show how much of a nut she truly is now and then.
