Ann Coulter

[U2democrat]

see the thing is ann coulter wishes violence upon people (ie-ny times building). michael moore doesn't, correct me if i'm wrong.

 

[nbcrusader]

Do you really think she wishes that? Or does it make for good, get under your skin entertainment?

Oh I think she means it. I think she is a hateful and very damaged person.

i'd pay to watch michael moore and ann coulter be put together in the Surreal Life house

now THAT'S entertainment.

nbc-i believe she actually believes what she says, its not for pure entertainment. that's not her goal to entertain people.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'll give ya that... ann coutler is a nut who believes her own twisted truths, where as michael moore believes them up until someone proves them false, at which point he hides behind the "i'm just an entertainer" flag

either way they're both nuttier than a whole bunch of nuts.

She is not trying to make you laugh. She is trying to get under your skin. She preys on "liberal outrage" and seems to be doing it very well.

She's just a political shock jock.

No, she believes this crap. She believes all of it. And that's the scary thing. If some normal person said we should attack all the Muslims and convert them to Christianity, they would be called racist. If someone said publicly that the NY Times building should be bombed, they would be seriously questioned by the FBI. But since she's blonde and its in a newspaper and the ruling party is the Republicans, its ok. I wrote one column in college that was harsh towards the football team and got our press passes suspended. and that column was NOTHING compared to this.

I think she means it, too. She's got that much hate in her.

 

[nbcrusader]

She seems to have got you all hook, line and sinker....

 

[verte76]

OK, maybe she does say this sort of thing to piss off us liberals. Admittedly, she succeeds.

 

[diamond]

she is sorta a hottie, although i think she would be hard to managed in a LTR

Bingo--the sooner you guys learn to just ignore the woman the better.

I think it's both--she means it and she wants to piss off liberals. But what kind of person relishes spewing such hateful venom for kicks? Anyway you look at it, whatever her motives are, she's a sick puppy.

 

[nbcrusader]

Interesting to see how many can see into her heart to know that she means it.

Or is it just a belief to justify the hatred?

"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

Does she realize that would put her out of a job? (After all, if you can't vote, can you be a political commentator?)

I didn't really see her as the barefoot and pregnant type, but hey, who am I to criticize? Whatever floats your boat, Ann.

I'm not a liberal and I still think she sounds like she belongs in Old Timey Germany.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

people often use bullshit to get attention. sometimes when they use so much bullshit, they actually start to believe their own bullshit, even though they know that it still is, indeed, shit from a bull.

see ann coulter, michael moore, etc. etc. etc.

This may be a liberal site but all her comments are backed up.

I agree. Only a dysfunctional personality would even think these comments were worth the controversy they stir up. OK, it helps her get paid. I still think she's a bitch.

Ha ha...a headline from Fark.com REie throwing:
Men arrested for throwing pies at Ann Coulter; apparently were unaware that the only way to unmake her is to throw her back into Mount Doom

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I think Coulter used to be a regular talking head a while back, but over the years she's sort of "evolved" into the woman most of you all love to hate... I could be wrong and mixing her up with Barbara Olson, though but I remembered her to be more sedate than the "shrew" she is now. She could be psycho but I seriously doubt it. I watched Hannity and Colmes and she was on with Pat Caddell (a guy I've grown to like) and they were talking about Kerry. She tried to do the usual schtick but because Caddell came off more mid-range to somewhat critical of how the Kerry campaign was run, Coulter laid off... she looked a little uncomfortable as if someone already said the punchline type of look which is why she I think a lot of what she says is schtick.

I dunno, I find what she says entertaining just as I find South Park entertaining.

 

[iota]

She's joking.

She's trying to get under liberal skin.

It's not like anyone from the left ever spews venom at people who exercise free speech to disagree with them...like calling them "fucking idiots" (impotent rage on this board) at least Coulter is funny, compared to the self-righteous elitist ideologues who she targets and thinks anybody who disagrees with them should be arrested for "hate speech".

In my world there's a big difference in calling some an idiot and wishing suffering or death. Yes there are extremist on both sides but this is what bugs me about her and why I don't see the comparison between her and Moore. By no means am I a huge fan, but I don't see him wishing death, saying they shouldn't have rights, or telling people they'll burn in hell.

(impotent rage on this board) at least Coulter is funny, compared to the self-righteous elitist ideologues who she targets and thinks anybody who disagrees with them should be arrested for "hate speech".

This is the biggest contradiction. Take a look at her quotes and tell me she's not an elitist who thinks people should be charged with treason if they aren't on her side. I mean come on!!!

 

[Inner El Guapo]

I have always thought that she might be Todd Rundgren in drag.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I saw the video of the pie thing on the news this morning. It was sort of funny, especially watching her try to run away in heels

 

[verte76]

I agree with the posters who are saying it's one thing to call someone an "idiot" or say "I don't agree with them" and another thing to wish death on them. It's really trashy to say that you wish the terrorists had hit the NYT building.

 

[Sherry Darling]

Here's the pie in the face clip for those would seem like they'd enjoy that.

This confirms she's all talk. Is that panic I see on the face of Militia Barbie?

 

[pax]

NBC, you didn't answer my earlier question...about whether or not you think it's okay to publicly wish gruesome, painful deaths on people you don't agree with in the name of "humor" or "getting under people's skin."
