Ann Coulter said what?

In light of of what Coultergeist (thanks Keith) had said about Edwards (the first quote below), I thought I ought to share some of her other pearls of wisdom.

I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word "faggot", so I — so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards.
o Speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Washington, DC, March 2, 2007

I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.

o Governmental responsibility


Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
o Her syndicated column, September 28, 2001


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.
o Excerpt which caused media controversy Godless: The Church of Liberalism

I don't know if [former U.S. President] Bill Clinton is gay. But [former U.S. Vice President] Al Gore - total fag.

Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

Bill Clinton "was a very good rapist"; "I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties"; "I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning.

[Canadians] better hope the United States does not roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent.
o Fox News; Hannity & Colmes, November 30, 2004

There are a lot of bad Republicans; there are no good Democrats.
o Interview with Brian Lamb; August 11, 2002

The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view.
o Oil Good; Democrats bad; October 12, 2000

They're [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment.
o University of Florida speech; October 20, 2005

I'd build a wall. In fact, I'd hire illegal immigrants to build the wall. And throw out the illegals who are here. [...] It's cheap labor.

When we were fighting communism, OK, they had mass murderers and gulags, but they were white men and they were sane. Now we're up against absolutely insane savages.

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

They're never very high in anyone's caste system, are they? Poor little Pakis.

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.
o New York Observer article; August 26, 2002

Of course I regret it. I should have added 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and the reporters.'

[Learning difficulties are a cover for] rich parents with dumb kids...That's why 'Pinch' Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, is alleged to have dyslexia - because he's retarded.
o The Independent; August 16, 2004

I think [women] should be armed but should not vote...women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it...it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care.
o Comedy Central; Politically Incorrect; February 26, 2001

Canada has become trouble recently. It's always the worst Americans who go there. We could have taken them over so easy. But I only want the western part, with the ski areas, the cowboys, and the right wingers. They're the only good parts of Canada.

If Americans support abortion, let's vote. . . Just this past term, in Stenberg vs. Carhart, the court expanded the apocryphal abortion right to an all-new right to stick a fork in the head of a half-born baby.
o Her syndicated column, 12/28/2000


This is just a partial list of her inanity. Yes, there's actually more on Wikiquote. Go there... if you dare. I have a few of questions here:

First, why haven't the conservatives distanced and denounced her imbecilic rants of verbal diarrhoea? Are these obtuse vitriolic remarks really representative of the Republican Party?

Second, why do I keep seeing her on TV? Why do the media continue to give her a platform to dole out these kinds of disparaging comments?

Third, what the hell is wrong with this woman? How can she argue against abortion, when she's clearly a poster child for it?

Finally, I'm no doctor, but aren't only guys supposed to have Adam's Apples?

Ann Coulter is a fucktard. Seriously.

I'm as liberal as the next person, but I acknowledge some conservative views have merit. Hers have none.

Anonymous said...

Wow! Is this chick for real? I don't know how she still has a voice, but I support her right to say what she says. It's part of that First Amendment that she's "not a big fan of". Without it, she'd be some crazy bitch spewing her venom on some street corner and using a subway grate as a heat source.

Inanity? More like insanity. How immature and stupid can it make you look when the only response you can make to someone's inteligent argument/point of view is to call him a "fag." It's like we're back in grade school, calling each other names.

Hehehe... Ann Coulter is a "poster child for abortion." I like that one!

Nhi - I don't know what a fucktard is, I've never heard of a fucktard, but if I were to imagine one... it would be her.

Al - Actually even with it, she's still some crazy bitch spewing her venom ;)

Chapati Kid - re: insanity, Ha ha! I guess when she can't address a person's policies intelligently, name calling is all she can resort to. At the same time, I have no qualms calling her a vile woman or as Nhi so eloquently put it... a fucktard... Damn I love that word.
