Ann Coulter: Part-Time Elitist, Full-Time Hypocrite

Ann Coulter isn’t impressed at all by people who go to Ivy League schools:

Like John Roberts, Souter attended church regularly. Souter was also touted for his great intellect. He went to Harvard! And Harvard Law! (Since when does that impress right-wingers? So did Larry Tribe. It is one of the eternal mysteries of the world that liberals are good test-takers.) [7/27/05]

Except when Ann Coulter is only impressed by people who go to Ivy League schools:

[On Harriet Miers, who attended a Methodist university in Texas:] If you’re going to pick somebody who’s your personal lawyer, that person better be especially qualified. … I mean, the historical fact is generally, the most strong conservatives are the ones who did go to the most liberal elite schools. [Fox News, 10/4/05]

    It would be due to the intellegence difference. NeoCons are zombie morons.


  2. Mary Poppin says:

    Ann Coulter has no credibility. She is a big month nobody. Why would anyone listen to her?


  3. Patriot says:

    Why does her name get print on this site?


  4. Patriot says:

    The day she squats in Times Square and takes a dump is the day she deserves media coverage.

    Ann Coulter needs to get clean and sober….


  7. Blue State Red says:

    Nico must have emerged from the stupid side of his dungeon today. As even the weakest “progressive” minds should be able to apreciate, it takes special intellectual and intestinal fortitude to survive in a hostile environment. So, naturally, there’s no contradiction in saying, on the one hand, elitist universities tend to produce liberals, while also saying, on the other hand, the strongest conservatives come from elitist universities. Only the strong survive!


  8. Zippy the Other Pinhead says:

    “I voted AGAINST people from liberal elite schools, before I voted FOR them…”

    Sheesh…what a maroooon…


  9. e_five says:

    America is being ruined by liberal elites. The liberal media elite, liberals at elite eastern colleges, the liberal Hollywood celebrity elites, liberal elitist coastal elites in their elite liberal Ivory Towers, and the Elite modeling agency.


  10. Mary Poppin says:

    America is being ruined by the “RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS NUTS” Not the LIBERALS ELITES.


  11. Patriot says:

    As long as Republicans think the liberal elite are problem we’ll do okay.


  12. kindness says:

    Hey ne dementia – here’s your poster girl. & the masses are slinging shit at her! What ya gonna do?

    Ann Coulter – PhD in mysterymeat/moronic statements.


  13. wisedup says:

    Mr Colter is a fox media game, ‘I am more right radical than you’, she must hate that o’wrongly gets more hate mail than her. Scums vs.scums. I think these folks should get a real job in America. The bandwagon is slowing down fast, and it’s getting so crowded with right wing ‘extreamest’..she is falling off the edge.


  14. David B says:

    TP,
    You are giving Coulter, O’Reilly, and Fox News too much blog time lately. These asshats are only self-important. Putting them in the TP blog only inflates their sense of self-value and self-importance. Not unlike trolls, ignore them, who cares what they have to say, we all know its only lies, half-truths, or spinning majic.


  15. DRP says:

    Why do we even bother with Ann “Really a Man” Coulter…she is beyond ridiculous.


  16. Peter Dubuque says:

    Oh Ann, stop hitting on Ben Shapiro…everybody knows that Virgin Ben doesn’t give it up for *nobody*.


  17. Hunter Morrow says:

    I’m fed up with Annthrax. Stop spreading the disease.


  18. Zookeeper says:

    Who pays attention to Ann Coulter anyway?


  19. The Fly-man says:

    Ann Who? Read Michelle Malkin folks, shes the one who can make a point and her
    sarcasm is sorta like Thai food you order hot and it’s always hotter than you like it
    but after you get through it you can start to appreciate it. Writers are more prone to be careful about the words they use. IE: Bill Bennet


  20. Mr. Evil says:

    Ann Coulter seems to be the evil, wicked, high priestess of misery from which there’s no escape! I bet if you poked her in the stomach she’d fart a red cloud.


  21. ohdave says:

    One of the stupidest things some Republicans do is to attempt to discredit institutions of higher education. Do they really think that the research and teaching that occurs at the best public and private institutions in the country is not serving the public good?

    More and more I am convinced that they hate anything resembling science, truth, knowledge, objectivity, and reality.


  22. Magnum DB says:

    “It is one of the eternal mysteries of the world that liberals are good test-takers.”

    Did she mean one of the eternal MYTHS of the world? Why am I not processing her statement correctly? It is worded correctly but just down right stupid?

    I’d like to know where she get’s her numbers from, though I wouldn’t be surprised if we WERE smarter.


  23. Cornellian says:

    Speaking of hypocritical, did she forget that she’s a Cornell alumnus? I guess if the basis for her opinions on Ivy Leaguers is herself, that explains the lack of being impressed.


  24. e_five says:

    It’s too bad the terrorists didn’t fly those jets into her freakish oversized adam’s apple.


  25. afterthought says:

    She’s from Cornell?
    Gosh, I wonder what happened to create what she is now?
    I really think she should be ignored into oblivion.


  26. Marie says:

    All she is missing is her cauldron and some eye of newt.


  27. Jeff says:

    #22 You are correct. Edumakation bad, God good.

    Jeff,

  29. Jane E. Schneider says:

    She probably went to the Cornell Veterinary School. She seems to have this thing about Sean Hannity on a horse, because she thinks he’s so “studly”. Last night she was in the studio while he was watching Mexicans at the Tijuana border, and she said to him “I can’t see you, I hope you’re on a horse, because that’s so studly!” Yeesh! I’m not sure which she prefers, Sean or the horse.


  30. Mr. Evil says:

    Believe it or not, the evil, wicked, high priestess of misery from which there’s no escape has a law degree. Now we know why she isn’t practicing law.


  31. Pablo in Mexico says:

    I dont care one wit about any degrees that this BITCH OF BUCHENWALD has, had in the past, or may gain in the future.

    She is bitch to the core.


  32. Sharon Cox says:

    Is this the same loud mouth, skinny, ugly blond we were talking about a month ago.? The one who always dominates every conversation.? Gees! ….Blessings


  33. Terry C. Potter says:

    Very informative. You guys sound like a clique high school kids during lunch hour.


  34. SpudgeBoy says:

    #34

    And you sound like an uninformed, retarded, dumbshit. But comparing you to a retard is not fair. Retards have a lot more on the ball than you do.

    STFU.


  35. seefleur says:

    This (wo)man is reason enough for me to send my kids (4 of them) to public universities. If this is what Cornell turns out, they should be refunding tuition to (M)Ann’s parents…. you didn’t think she paid her tuition did you?!?! And I would be shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya, if she did the FAFSA loan-paying for-the-next-15-years routine. At least my kids understand that their “edumakshun” is the key to accomplishing something positive.


  36. SpankMeI'mABadBoy says:

    Ann Coulter, oh yes the stupid brunette who dies her hair blonde, and defends Joe McCarthy’s attack on Americans for exercising their rights to freedom of speech.
    The same Ann who accused the Democratic Party of creating as she claims “the worst intelligence agency in the world.”. The same Ann who blamed Democrats for the September 11 terrorist attacks and for the bombings of the USS Cole.
    The same Ann who continues to put her foot in her mouth just because she can.
    Maybe she should pack up and move to Germany and start the Third Reich up again.
    Oh, it’s in America now… Doesn’t matter… She’d still look pretty hot in a tight black leather outfit with a little leather cap and black leather whip.
    Come on Ann, tell me what a bad boy I’ve been…


  37. Dr. Strangelove says:

    She is an elitist pig. Whoever meantion the Third Reich, you hit the nail right on the Swatsika…people who are from that school of thought (I know, I have some in my family) are just so cemented in their views and regardless of the loss, the pain, and misery inflicted and encountered, they will not shift their ideology or plans.


  38. the daily phosdex says:

    If conservatives are rather fond of knocking down the more prestigious branches of academia for supposed “elitism” and its attendant “evils,” it’s enough to wonder if they would prefer such who attended “right-thinking” colleges such as:

    *Liberty (Lynchburg, VA; associated with Jerry Falwell)

    *Oral Roberts (Tulsa, OK)

    *Ambassador (Pasadena, CA; associated with the Worldwide Church of G-d)

    *Regents (Virginia Beach, VA; associated with Pat Robertson)

    *Bob Jones (Spartanburg, SC)

    *Brigham Young (Provo, UT; associated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)

    Am I right in such thinking, perchance?


  39. cynanne says:

    … #38 : I sympathize , Dr. Strangelove – one of my in-laws just the other day ( AFTER all that’s happened ! )referred to bushie as ” Poor ol’ Bush ” ( I almost smothered myself stifling the laughter ! ) . Ah , I love the smell of neocons burning in the morning ! Or : twisting in the wind , hanging out to dry , absolute power corrupts absolutely , losers weepers – I could go on and on ! … ;)

    The 21st century, what a strange trip this has been…


  41. Not important says:

    I am really not trying to be a bitch or sound much like Ann Coulter, but is she a she or is she a he.
    She has the facial eyebrow ridge of a man, no chest or hips to speak of, no butt and an Adam’s apple. I find it hard to listen to her because I am so distracted by her he/she look. Wouldn’t the ultra religious right love to know their beloved little girl is really a little boy……


  42. jim says:

    most of your comments on coulter sound like true libs,cut some one down rather than offer a sound argument


  43. Michael Moore says:

    The recent events which have rocked the conservative republican front go to show one thing history has always shown – That religious conservatives over the world are essentially people who are either
    a.Closet homosexuals who hate what they are and wish they were straight or just folks who are just not comfortable with their own sexuality. It aint a coincidence that the countries with the least level of violence ,especially against women, and with maximum happiness are the ones where society is highly liberated sexually.

    b. In a strong denial about the indifference of their existance in the universe as an absolute , and hence beleive in a narcissistic illusion of a kindly just adult ‘Santa Claus’ called God who rewards rights and punishes wrongs and looks out for them in life and after death…..brother!!!

    Ann Coulter’s thinking can be summed up as being similar Danny Devito or the headmistress in the Movie Mathilda,where they tell her-
    I am right and you are wrong coz I am big and you are small!

    To her and other fundamentalists like Bin Laden (who by the way are more similar to each other than they realize) I say get out of your small well and look at the world outside-Its big and diverse and beautiful ..learn to accept differences in opinions and diversity..your point of view is not the only one around..and to say thats the only true point of view reeks of not an extreme neurotic devotion to your God but to your own narcissistic world where you are the God.

    Faith is Blind —- so never give her a driver’s license!
