Posted June 7, 200618 yr For some reason NBC decided to let Matt Lauer interview the nutjob also known as Ann Coulter today, ironically on 6/6/06. During the interview, she said that the widows of 9/11 victims were 'using their status for political gain', although she had no evidence to support this claim. She continued by saying that 'I have never seen a group of widows so happy that their husbands are dead." This is a clear insult to the victims of the worst national tragedy since Pearl Harbor, and is by far the worst thing she has said (which is saying a lot). Too bad she can't join Zacharias Moussaoui in that Supermax prison...
June 7, 200618 yr she is nothing but a nutjob. She claims that Max Cleland was not brave in vietnam, or something of that nature. He lost both legs and an arm in that war. Same woman says the Dubya is the greatest president of all time, and shes being investigated for vote fraud in Palm beach.
June 7, 200618 yr coulter is the equivalent to the left's michael moore both say and use provactive statements and tactis to advance their unfounded claims .

Everyone knows she's a complete idiot and a total whack job, but me thinks the only reason you made this thread is because she's on the extreme right. If I made a thread anytime someone on the extreme left made a looney comment, the entire front page of this forum would be filled up with new threads every single day.

June 7, 200618 yr Author I'm pretty sure that Coulter is way worse than Moore. The main reason that I posted this is because I honestly can't stand this woman. I just wish they would stop letting her on TV.
June 7, 200618 yr Yeah Coulter is worse. Moore is a douche. Coulter wants to extreminate all percieved enemies of hers and Bush's.

BLAH BLAH BLAH, This isn't a left or right thing. I'm sure both sides are apalled by this.
June 7, 200618 yr I really don't know who this woman is. And I'm GLAD. You chould check her out...she's not bad looking...I'd bet you'd hit it.
June 7, 200618 yr So pathetic of NBC to have her on. Give her some extra advertising to sell another hate-filled book why don't ya? Today Show reaches a new low. I mean what's the point. I really don't know who this woman is. And I'm GLAD. You chould check her out...she's not bad looking...I'd bet you'd hit it. dude she's a HAG.

She's also avocated that Timothy McVeigh blew up the wrong building in the wrong state...said he should have blown up the NY Times building instead...
June 9, 200618 yr My answer to this woman would of been simple: Mrs. Coulter, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

She's also avocated that Timothy McVeigh blew up the wrong building in the wrong state...said he should have blown up the NY Times building instead... I saw the TV interview, and no such comments about the divorces or McVeigh were made. Also, I read the except from of her book regarding the widows online in a story covering these comments (I have no desire to buy any of her books), and no such comments about the divorces are made there. The McVeigh comment does sound like something she would say/write, though.

[New York Observer, 8/26/02] and in regards to the divorces... http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/ne...t_id=1002648990 Elsewhere in the book, Coulter refers to the widows as "witches" and asks, "how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies"?

Thanks. The except I saw didn't include the items mentioned "elsewhere." She might be getting pretty close to libel. Who's her publisher, Looney Tunes? I can think of 168 other regrets she should have for the Oklahoma City bombing.
June 12, 200618 yr For those who haven't seen Leonard Pitts of the Herald rip her a new one...here ya go... http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/livin...ts/14796761.htm Conservatives should cringe over Coulter BY LEONARD PITTS JR. [email protected] Apparently, it's news that Ann Coulter is a nasty piece of work. I had rather thought that was the attraction, at least for those people who find her attractive. So forgive me for being mildly mystified by last week's headlines about her most recent spasm of trash mouth, i.e., her attack on four women who lost their husbands in the Sept. 11 attacks. But then, the attack is vicious even by Coulter's standards: In her latest book, whose title you won't read here, she savages the widows as ''self-obsessed'' and ``witches.'' ''These broads are millionaires,'' she writes, 'lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much.'' Evidently, the widow's sins are that they pushed for an independent commission to investigate 9/11 intelligence failures, they are critical of the Bush administration, and they endorsed John Kerry for president. The nerve of them. Coulter's tirade has drawn bipartisan condemnation -- New York Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton called it ''vicious,'' while the state's Republican governor, George Pataki, declared Coulter ''far worse than insensitive'' -- but c'mon. This is all part of the shtick for this chick. I mean, we're talking about the woman who said Timothy McVeigh's only mistake was in not blowing up The New York Times building and that we should invade Muslim countries, kill their leaders and convert the people to Christianity. EASY TO DO Frankly, it's easy to do what Coulter does. Just say the most outrageous thing in the most inflammatory way. Just give moral and mental cover to that small-minded, anti-intellectual strain of the electorate which recoils like Superman in the face of Kryptonite from complexity and incertitude. And when people call you on it, just wrap yourself in the flag and declare yourself a straight-shootin' conservative under siege by that mean ol' liberal media. It plays like gangbusters in Peoria. And never mind that it's a brazen lie. Meaning that Ann Coulter is not reviled because she is conservative. Some of the best and most respected pundits in the country are conservative: George F. Will, Kathleen Parker and Charles Krauthammer, to name just three. They offer smart, snarky, cogent analyses of world and national events and if you disagree with them, as I not infrequently do, you will be required to do some mental heavy lifting to dismantle their arguments. They challenge you. SHE IS MEAN No, Coulter is reviled because she is mean, malicious, the barbed-wire frontwoman for a cabal of bloviators, bully boys, and blowhards (Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage and too many others) who are pleased to regard themselves as the guardians of conservatism's soul. Conservatism's soul should sue for slander. But again, it plays in Peoria. And why not? It is loud, simple, stupid. Not unlike The Jerry Springer Show. The nation's political discourse has never been as polite and decorous as we like to think. Abraham Lincoln's political foes called him a baboon; Lyndon Johnson once said that Gerald Ford played too much football without a helmet. LINES CROSSED When, however, even widows (and orphans?) become fair game for a viperous harridan with an ax to grind and books to sell, maybe decent people should wonder at the lines we have crossed and the type of nation we have become in the process. Coulter's victims, by the way, felt compelled to release a statement. It said in part: ``Contrary to Ms. Coulter's statements, there was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again.'' In a better nation, that would go without saying.
June 12, 200618 yr Pitts is one of the few columnist from the Herald I like. He always plays both sides very well. And he actually makes valid opinions rather than the great majority of Herald writers who spew out filth like it was going out of fashion.
June 12, 200618 yr Moore is more of an a**hole than Coulter, but *surprise* I can't stand either of them.
June 12, 200618 yr Moore is more of an a**hole than Coulter, but *surprise* I can't stand either of them. No way. Moore has never called for the extremination of an entire people. Coulter has.
