In her new book, “Godless,” right-wing pundit Ann Coulter writes of the 9/11 widows:
These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzies. I have never seen people enjoying their husbands’ death so much.
She was confronted about the statement this morning by NBC’s Matt Lauer. Coulter accused Lauer of “getting testy.” Watch it:
Full Transcript:
LAUER: Do you believe everything in the book or do you put some things in there just to cater to your base?
ANN: No, of course I believe everything.
LAUER: On the 9-11 widows, an in particular a group that had been critical of the administration: “These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process.” And this part is the part I really need to talk to you about: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.” Because they dare to speak out?
COULTER: To speak out using the fact they are widows. This is the left’s doctrine of infallibility. If they have a point to make about the 9-11 commission, about how to fight the war on terrorism, how about sending in somebody we are allowed to respond to. No. No. No. We have to respond to someone who had a family member die. Because then if we respond, oh you are questioning their authenticity.
LAUER: So grieve but grieve quietly?
COULTER: No, the story is an attack on the nation. That requires a foreign policy response.
LAUER: By the way, they also criticized the Clinton administration.
COULTER: Not the ones I am talking about. No, no, no.
LAUER: Yeah they have.
COULTER: Oh no, no, no, no, no. They were cutting commercials for Kerry. They were using their grief to make a political point while preventing anyone from responding.
LAUER: So if you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?
COULTER: No, but don’t use the fact that you lost a husband as the basis for being able to talk about, while preventing people from responding. Let Matt Lauer make the point. Let Bill Clinton make the point. Don’t put up someone I am not allowed to respond to without questioning the authenticity of their grief.
LAUER: Well apparently you are allowed to respond to them.
COULTER: Yeah, I did.
LAUER: So, in other words.
COULTER: That is the point of liberal infallibility. Of putting up Cindy Sheehan, of putting out these widows, of putting out Joe Wilson. No, no, no. You can’t respond. It’s their doctrine of infallibility. Have someone else make the argument then.
LAUER: What I’m saying is I don’t think they have ever told you, you can’t respond.
COULTER: Look, you are getting testy with me.
LAUER: No. I think it’s a dramatic statement. “These broads are millionaires stalked by stalked by grief-parazzies”? “I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much”?
COULTER: Yes, they are all over the news.
LAUER: The book is called “Godless: The Church of Liberalism.” Ann Coulter, always fun to have you here.
she’s screwing up america more than all the 100 people bernie goldberg wrote about.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:45 amI wish Ann Coulter was on the morning shows every morning, what a shell of a human being.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:46 amMy what a huge Adam’s apple. One would think of AIS.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:49 am[…] Now, Think Progress has a transcript of Coulter & Lauer discussing how the media uses 9/11 widows as experts, but doesn’t allow conservatives to respond. Their title - “Coulter on 9/11 Widows: ‘I Have Never Seen People Enjoying their Husbands’ Death So Much’” […]
June 6th, 2006 at 9:51 amCoulter is showing signs of cracking.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:52 amKatie’s gone so Matt has a new set of Cajone’s….Awesome!!!
man coulter… not worth using the energy to type about…
June 6th, 2006 at 9:53 am“no no no no no no no no no no no no, wait, what was I talking about? oh yeah: no no no no no no no no liberal infallibility no no no no no….”
When is she going to be on The Daily show?
June 6th, 2006 at 9:53 amI doubt that she even believes the crap she spews. By being outrageous she sells books. That is all she cares about. After all its all about her.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:53 amShe’e mentally ill and so are the people who give her air time.
June 6th, 2006 at 9:55 amYep it’s all about money and as sad as it is people pony up $20 once a year to buy her new book. But ignorant people buy a lot of books, the Left Behind series comes to mind.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:00 ami can just see jon stewart vomit on her infront of everybody… he he he
June 6th, 2006 at 10:02 amThis scum bag gets $30,000 for her appearences. Think she’d get that kind of money if she was anything approaching thoughtful and a non arsehole?
Like the fat Oxy cotin addict there is never too low these scum bags can go….. and it pays so well.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:03 ami am no longer surprised by anything ann coulter says. her evil character is highly predictalble. but lauer’s final “ann coulter always fun to have you here” was outrageous.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:04 amMatt let her off easy. Everything the woman writes is one gigantic ad hominem attack. Someone needs to remind the viewing audience that it’s a logical fallacy, in addition to being pretty despicable.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:04 amSo Ann Coulter’s argument is that she can make political points off of 9/11 because her nation was attacked, but people who “only” lost spouses in the attack are politicizing their grief. Oh, and “these broads are millionaires”? How much has Coulter made off of the country’s emotional response to 9/11?
June 6th, 2006 at 10:05 amIs my memory failing me or was her first book a guide to dating in Washington? I’m glad that’s she’s moved on to making meaningful contributions to society now……/sarcasm
June 6th, 2006 at 10:05 amThis is not news. Why does the MSM and blogs not have the sense to put people like this on ignore? She is making $$$ by filling time with nonsense that isn’t worth any time and definitely not worth a penny.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:05 am#11 Vomitting was the first thing I thought of when I saw her ragged mug.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:06 amDear Ann Coulter
Please kill yourself. Now.
Sincerely,
June 6th, 2006 at 10:06 amThe World
Ann Coulter is a man:
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/ viewtopic.php?topic=54203&forum=4
Take a look at this pic and judge for yourself.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:06 amShe serves a purpose in being so over-the-top extreme. She makes the extreme right wing look more moderate, so they can function more easily without being called out. She functions as a clown to make the real clowns look better.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:06 amShe believes every word. Ann is pissed that the 9/11 widows can’t be attacked in the same way that others critical of this administration are attacked. She and anyone else who wants to swift boat the widows can’t do it without looking like asses. They would rather someone that is open to attack from the right be the ones out front on this issue. That is the complaint. Read her words carefully. Jeez, I thought progressives were supposed to be the whiners. LMAO
June 6th, 2006 at 10:07 amOne of her nutbag friends should tell the skank to get a new dress.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:07 amWas she asked about her possible upcoming felony conviction for voter fraud?
June 6th, 2006 at 10:08 amI agree with comment #9, the woman is clearly mentally ill. I can’t imagine even Republicans take her seriously. If someone capped her parents I wonder if she would be will to suffer silently.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:08 amShe should be forced to meet with the 911 widows (and widowers) face to face. Then she should be sent to Iraq for 6 tours of duty.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:10 amShe should be forced to meet with the 911 widows (and widowers) face to face. Then she should face the survivors of Fallujah . . .
June 6th, 2006 at 10:11 amBut her book isn’t selling. At all. I think I heard that only she and her family have purchased copies. Hard to believe that she and Bill Mahar used to be an item.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:11 amThis broad is CRAZY!
June 6th, 2006 at 10:12 amJust had a flash of Kristin Bratweiler kicking the crap out of her…
What a day for a daydream.
50 Ways To Dump The Dubya
June 6th, 2006 at 10:14 amMy what a huge Adam’s apple. One would think of AIS.
Comment by yankeluh — June 6, 2006
Of course “she” has a large adams apple. When you have the “operation” getting your masculine larinyx shaved down is an elective surgery that is quite expensive.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:17 amWhat a f’in idiot. Coulter never ceases to shock me with the crap-etoric she spouts.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:18 amConvenient of her to forget that there were some conservative 9/11 widows doing the same thing as the liberal ones. Frankly, its hard to imagine a more disgusting statement from a conservative, but I’m sure she’ll figure out a way to top this one.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:18 amWhat we need is a media that understands that there is a visual story to show, the shocking sight of these cynical leaders, like Coulter, showing them in the back rooms (that occur between their ‘Glory moments’ in front of the TV cameras) when back stage they have their addiction fits where they’re “jonesing†for their next fix of meanness and greed.
That’s what we need to convince the media to show. The true tawdry underbelly of this destructive movement.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:18 amwhy does the today show legitimize her?
June 6th, 2006 at 10:19 amThe entire premise of Ann’s argument is that which is the foundation of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth…and yet, something tells me she’s a big fan of them.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:19 amNo one benefitted more from 9/11 than the PNAC cabal. And the pre-knowledge for the attacks were there. Atleast 11 countries warned, including the taliban and in the recent Moussaoui trial a FBI agent admitted that the plans were known for years.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:20 amBut she might infact be unaware since she had no one who Lewis Libby was. Idiot. Phoney cherry pick parts from the bible fool. Thou make mockery of thy religion.
God bless the Jersey Girls…atleast they were part to start the 9/11 whitewash commission.
So, I guess this is that “compassionate conservativism” I’ve been hearing so much about.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:21 amThe direct families of 9/11 victims received VARIED COMPENSATION. The ‘formula’ was based on lost future earnings which lead to the families of investment bankers, brokers, etc getting much larger ‘payouts’ than the families of a janitor, secretary, etc.
That was one of the rather large ‘injustices’ of the federal insurance program that was specifically designed to keep airlines from being sued by relatives (the fed insurance payouts were their only real recourse).
So…not all 9/11 widows are ‘equal’ in wealth.
Ann also apparently has trouble recognizing that people can and do buy insurance with million dollar payouts. I know I am insured for 1 million as long and as long as I don’t kill myself my family will get the money to help them to live on until they can move on.
9/11 was facilitated by the incompetence of the federal government coupled with airline responsibility for security. To suggest that they should not have received compensation for an event that should never have happened is obscene.
Oh, and Ann - if and when your new home (in the precinct you should have registered in) gets blown over by a hurricane I’m sure you’ll feel ‘entitled’ to the federal disaster benefits that essentially allow people (rich people) to live in areas that are not insurable privately.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:24 amI really think the best way of dealing with Ann Coulter is to ignore her. By continually discussing her we give her a certain amount of credibility. In my opinion she’s just a stupid blowhard who desparately wants to be famous. She purposely says things like this to get attention — and her hate-filled followers just lap it up. If we pretend she doesn’t exist we can diminish whatever stature she has. I’m sure Ann Coulter would hate nothing more than to be ignored.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:25 amThis douchebag has no business being on national TV promoting anything. Full stop.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:25 amCoulter is a sick and evil male drag queen who should be given a prison term for fomenting hatred and bigotry!
June 6th, 2006 at 10:26 amMake it stop…it burns, it burns!!
June 6th, 2006 at 10:26 amTro. Glo. Dyte.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:28 amWho does this Ann Coulter guy think he is, anyway? If Ann Coulter didn’t want people to think “she” was a “he”, then maybe “she” should get a different e-mail address than tom@anncoulter.com.
If all these TV shows would stop having her come on, no matter how stupid or controversial the things she says are, then maybe she could go away and never be heard from again (which could only be good for the world.)
June 6th, 2006 at 10:31 amI saw her in walmart yesterday buying all of her books.
Oh yeah, in case you aren’t paying attention, the war in Iraq is lost. The best hope is to get out while the gettin’ is good. George Bush had better act fast.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:31 amThe premise upon which her whole book is based upon is a fallacy. There are LOTS of people of faith who are LIBERALS. I guess she considers Jesus “Godless” since he was a liberal???
June 6th, 2006 at 10:33 am“Anne, you ignorant slut…”
June 6th, 2006 at 10:33 amI am very sorry, I dislike this woman very much, the things she says are always flippaant it seems and now its so sad to hear her complain about not being heard as pens a book, is the darling of Fox news genre? She is very disingenuos at the least and not a very good role model for women at all.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:34 amGood job matt till he got to the tham\nks part at the end, she isnt fun, shes not informative, and not a very nice person at all.
Freekin right wing political hacks just cant figure out why 51% of Americans dont oppose gay marriage and 30% of Americans dislike the President (Jay Leno) as persons like coulter run their mouthds in such a manner, I suppose next she will desecrate funerals of returning casualties from Iraq/Afghanistan because it is an example of the griveing she holds in contmept?
enough said
June 6th, 2006 at 10:35 amhttp://911-for-dummies.blogspot.com/
she’s a man, baby. ah crikey… schizophrenic
June 6th, 2006 at 10:35 amThis douchebag has no business being on national TV promoting anything. Full stop.
I second Dr. Sinker’s emotion.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:35 amAnn for prezdint!
Who better can finish the work of our Fearaless Leader Little Bush.
The complete distruction of the United States of America.
She does make one want to spit up doesn’t she?
Icky
June 6th, 2006 at 10:37 amThe minute I heard that Coulter was going to be on the Today show this morning I reached for the remote control. Why would anyone want to start their day by listening to that viscious hate-monger. She laughs all the way to the bank as she destroys whatever little of civic discourse is left in this country.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:41 amIf only Anne would stop living in sin, whoring around, she may one day have a husband to mourn herself.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:43 amShe truly is the face of the Repub Party….she bascially says all the Politcally Incorrect crap the politicians and other “respectable” Con pundits cant say…what a dispicable human being…
So the 9/11 widows need to shut up because why???
I would love to see her debate Kristen Brewsmeister about the failures of this admin in the months leading up to 9-11 and the aftermath since 9-11
anyway…
Over at the swamp (Yahoo message boards) there is a story about the 9 severed heads found in a box in Iraq…..tragic…..
Because they have nothing else to crow about…all the CONS over there are raving that Ann’s book is #1…whoopee….however…upon further inspection its not that hard to have the #1 book when sites like this :
http://www.conservativebookclub.com/DefaultJoin.asp?
SELL THE BOOK FOR A DOLLAR!!!!
June 6th, 2006 at 10:47 amI had to watch the whole thing this morning in a mirror, so I wouldn’t immediately turn to stone. Or is it a pillar of salt? I keeps gettin’ mah mythology and bibology references mixed up…
June 6th, 2006 at 10:50 amAnn Coulter reminds me of a crack whore I used to know. Except I felt sympathy for the crack whore. And the crack whore was a woman.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:51 amCoulter is showing signs of cracking.
I think that was just her make-up. Annie the trannie isn’t at her best at 7am: she looked as rough as a badger’s backside this morning, and was not up to full trolling speed.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:51 amDear Ann,
Two questions -
First, how does it feel to be about to lose your right to vote as an American citizen?
Second, what kind of cheese goes with that whine?
(BTW, loved the articles about you on Bradblog)
June 6th, 2006 at 10:52 amI have to give Matt Lauer props, as I have been a critic of his past interviews….He exposed Coulter as clearly insane or a shameless panderer to sell books…Did you watch Kathy Griffin later..”What’s with having that nutbag Ann Coulter on…Why was she wearing a cocktail dress for a morning show…I think she just makes stuff up…”
June 6th, 2006 at 10:53 amThe sad thing is that we are even discussing this. It’s even sadder that she is given air time. Where is her radical left counterpart in the MSM? Michael Moore pales in comparison. Daily we are inundated with neo-fascist propaganda- and yet all we do is complain about it on blogs.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:53 amShe looks like a hooker.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:55 amFrankly, its hard to imagine a more disgusting statement from a conservative, but I’m sure she’ll figure out a way to top this one.
Comment by Hit_Escape — June 6, 2006 @ 10:18 am
She is NOT a real conservative, you do realize. She simply masquerades as being conservative or republican, or whatever…in reality though, she is just a nasty excuse for a human being, and panders to the same. They just always seem to yell the loudest. That’s all.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:59 amShe embarrasses herself and anyone with whom she claims allegiance every time she speaks. I’ve never heard someone spew such unexamined (and easily refuted) arguments so chronically.
June 6th, 2006 at 10:59 am#62 - I HOPE someone posts a video of Kathy Griffin’s response. That sounds hilarious.
I’d LOVE to see Kathy Griffin and Ann Coulter in a cage match. Kathy would tear Ann a new one (and be funny while doing it).
June 6th, 2006 at 10:59 amSo, what she is saying that only shinny, happy people can complain about what has happened in the country. People who grieves, who works in 3 places just to pay the rent, who has lost relatives in the war…well, that´s life. What a really piece of garbage.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:00 amI think she is just entertaining like a sad clown. Who reads her crap nazi propaganda anyway.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:00 amI’m glad she clarified that only the 9/11 widows who disagree with her need to shut up. The rest can talk with authority.
Rather than not being allowed to respond, I think what she meant is she is not allowed to respond without looking like a heartless bloodthirsty fascist whore. She would look good in a Nazi uniform and whip presiding over one of the many domestic internment camps her fellow conservatives are pushing for.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:01 amAnn Coulter rejoices in venom and poison. It would be an interesting case to study for those who study the mysteries of the mind.
Me thinks that Ann Coulter always attacks when what she may deem the “infallibility” of George Bush and his PNAC friends is questioned.
She always speaks like an irascible lieutenant in love with his general!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:03 amWhy would they even have her on? I mean, why not have a Klan leader on? She’s not a serious political commentator or analyst. She’s just a hate monger. The wingnuts have taken politics into the gutter, and the corporate media has followed them right down into it.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:03 amAnn Coulter calling herself Tom for his emails is very revealing of who he actually is in reality!
A drag queen association located in Key West, Florida, claims convincingly that Ann Coulter was one of their male drag queens who got a sex change operation in Denmark several years ago! I forget what his queen name was in Key West, but his real first name is Tom! The press should be investigating his real identity instead of allowing him to spew hatred on FOX News!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:04 amLiberals DO have a doctrine of infallibility. It’s called fact.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:04 am64. She is a hooker. Instead of selling her body, she’s selling her hate to angry, lonely guys who have Fox News in their lives and little else.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:04 amGladly, I missed this morning’s show, but I would have loved to hear Kathy Griffin trash that hebitch Coulter. Kathy deserves to be on the A list.
If I ever met Mann Coulter at a party and there was a pool nearby, I’d push her sorry ass in that pool and jet out of there.
God, I hope Olbermann kicks her ass tonight.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:05 amI am really dumbfounded by how low TV has sunk. Jawdropping.
MATT LAUER: Always FUN to have you with us, Ann. Now we welcome Adolf Hilter, to talk about how much fun is to rip the skin off people while they’re still alive…
June 6th, 2006 at 11:06 amCoulter is pure white trash in the form of an X-File alien/human hybrid lab experiment gone bad (don’t they always.). She’s plain creepy.

June 6th, 2006 at 11:06 amOkay, its not very good but it came to me in a flash.
Comment by Bruce Gorton
To Bruce,
June 6th, 2006 at 11:06 amNot bad at all.
During the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, I once heard a version of this song called “That’s why (illicit tape recorder) Linda is a Tripp,” but I don’t remember most of the lines, but it amused me at the time.
Did dumbass Lauer ask her about her impending indictment for voter fraud?
Didn’t think so.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:08 amAnn Coulter can be filed under the subset of human excrement.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:09 amAnn Coulter is finally someone brave enough to stick up for the right wing in our country.
Why, in this country there are people who get on TV and in newspapers who only agree 90% with the lunatic right wing.
If we were truly good Americans and interested in good, patriotic debate, we would make sure that 100% of all commentators and 100% of every word which came out of their mouths would be 100% far right wing.
Only then, with 100% right wing spin all the time would we have true intellectual debate.
Because otherwise someone might disagree with the ultra right wing, and then that really hurts them, and some of them cry, and it really embarasses them when they cry.
You don’t want to make the lunatic right wingers cry, do you?
June 6th, 2006 at 11:10 amSo, first they were using their grief to make a political point, but at the same time, they were enjoying their husband’s death so much. She was not allowed to respond? WTF?!? You can’t shut her up! She was simply frustrated because she knew how scummy she would look to everyone, if she were to rip their throats out, like she wanted to. But that was self-preservation, not respect for these women. I am sorry to be so crude here, but she is SUCH A GASH!!!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:11 amJeez, you would think Mann Coulter could afford to have her Adam’s Apple shaved.
It’s elective cosmetic surgery and she would have to pay for it herself, but she can afford it.
It is still plainly visible in the photo above.
Mann Coulter is the perfect spokesho hypocrite for the religious right’s moral values…she’s a transsexual and she sleeps around.
If you want to talk about a godless person, thats Mann Coulter.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:11 amAnn Coulter is either a very devious, liberal performance artist or mentally ill.
There is no middle ground.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:15 amIt was such a beautiful morning until I logged on here and saw that screen grab. You had to go and spoil it, didn’t you? Now I have to mop up all this puke.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:16 amI see her hysterical-white-female-pundit membership is still active. She must be paying in advance. Matt didnt have to say anything really, she would’ve went on with her rant regardless. Classless, tasteless, and heartless.
Sincerely,
A WTC “Broad”
June 6th, 2006 at 11:16 amIf anyone on here has ever seen a drag queen show before, then you would realize that Ann Coulter really is a guy who takes male hormone shots and had breast implant surgery! Drag queens are very confused about their sexuality because they believe they are females trapped inside a male body! Everyone I have ever seen on stage had nasty mouths who spewed hatred just like Ann Coulter! One I saw in Jacksonville, Florida, looked 100% female > some even have their penis removed! Ann Coulter is NOT a real female!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:17 amtakes female hormone shots I mean lol
June 6th, 2006 at 11:20 amShe’s an f’ing lunitic. Would someone just please put her on a barren island somewhere and leave her there?
June 6th, 2006 at 11:25 amBut, please, see her face. She is the saddest person in the world. I just feel pity for her.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:26 amNo, no,no,no,no, It can’t be! Naw, it’s impossible…but for a minute there I thought she/it was Skeletor’s wife! She must be one of those alien cross-breeds on crack cocaine!Ha!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:26 amCoulter reminds me of the shit demon on the movie Dogma.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:28 am#62 - …Kathy Griffin later..â€What’s with having that nutbag Ann Coulter on…Why was she wearing a cocktail dress for a morning show…I think she just makes stuff up…â€
Comment by Oleary25 — June 6, 2006 @ 10:53 am
because she hadn’t been home from the night before yet…?
i too, hope someone gets a video of griffin’s remarks - that was rich…
June 6th, 2006 at 11:29 am#91 - Juan C, she lures you in with your pity, then she rips off your head and spits down your neck.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:29 amAnn’s begging for a lawsuit with books like that. The only language a neocon understands is money, so suing her would be the only way to get through. Those 9/11 widows need a good lawyer, they are being defamed.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:30 amMakes you wonder why, all of a sudden, she is bringing them up - maybe a little sunshine is about to fall on the whitewash?
We all complain a lot to each other - does anyone know if there is an Ann Coulter Hate Club site, where we could all reigister our disgust and have it sent to the shows that give her air time?
wake up, republicans! This is your God, whose vomitus you praise and buy like sheep!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:31 amhappy now?
Mission accomplished, right?
Freedom©, right?
# 88- Jay, I think you are confusing Transgender with Transvestite. There is a huge difference between the two.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:32 amIt is really sickening that Ann Coulter mentions those who lost their dears in 9/11, considering how she serves people who cynically exploited the grief of 9/11 to gain support and carry out their plans of power, profit, death and destruction (while fat multinationals and cronies made money on war), deceiving and lying to people.
They used 9/11 as a huge photo-op to justify PNAC long-planned wars and deliriums of power. It’s even disgusting they mention 9/11. They don’t have any moral right.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:32 amShe is so beyond done, it’s not even funny. She’s is an evil, I would use human being, but that doesn’t even apply here. She’s done. Her, O’Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc., are now the most hated in the country, only second to George Bush, and the entire Republican Party. They’ve lost their minds, and now, they are going to such extreme lengths to get attention. Seriously, after seeing this, if anyone buys this book, they deserve the backlash they get. This is pathetic. I also saw a promo for Tucker Carlson having Coulter on. He’s another wimp who’s on his last leg. Jon Stewart ripped him off the air, and put the little bow tie freak in his place. The Right is going to be paying for this time in our history for decades to come, and it’s all on tape and all over the internet. Coulter needs a straight jacket.

June 6th, 2006 at 11:34 amThe ones who are really to blame for Coulter’s remarks are the networks that give her a free ride. They’re the ones responsible for the destruction she causes.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:35 am#95. Probably, just like all right-wingers, who just hate and live with fear of hoards of communists taking their plasma TVs and HUmmers to spread the wealth. I feel just pity for them. (Well, aside from this buddhist attitude, sometimes I really want to smack them)
June 6th, 2006 at 11:36 amMatt Lauer is a pretty boy. He just caved in the last exchange, after she called him testy. “Anne Coulter. always fun to have you here.”????
June 6th, 2006 at 11:36 amPost 98 most drag queens are males who dress up as females > they do not have both sexual parts at birth! I am not referring to those who are born male and female! Ann Coulter was once 100% male, but now he/her is a created female!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:37 amShe (He) is not worth the effort, but what is this doctrine of infallibility? Did it not take six years for the Prez to admit just one mistake and the best he could come up with is he talked too tough to the terrorist!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:37 amThe ones who are really to blame are the propagandist networks that give her a free ride. They’re ultimately responsible for any destruction she causes.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:37 amMaybe Matt should host MTP. Actually, GE will probably can him tomorrow.

June 6th, 2006 at 11:42 amOkay, so is Mann Coulter a transvestite or a transsexual?
Either way, she is one sick puppy.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:43 amWhat gives the widows the right to grieve, anyway? Capitalizing on 9/11, shame on them! 9/11 belongs to Bush — he should sue them for copyright violation.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:43 ammr. ed - that was funny, but the green wig photo is definitely photshop - the shading on “her” face is all wrong, even at first glance…
June 6th, 2006 at 11:44 amJay Randal
Nobody knows what sex Ann Coulter was born with. She is an Anti-intellegence, she renders anyone who gets too close to her so stupid that they can’t tell the difference. The doctors, who refused to look at her twice because shit naked pundits are the stuff of nightmares, had to decide her sex over a coin toss later on once they had recovered somewhat.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:44 amthat is a man’s jawline, the ususal giveaway, along with big feet and an adam’s apple.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:44 amThanks post 101 for the facts on the real Ann Coulter > Mr. Jeremy Levinsohn aka as Pudenda Shenanigans the drag queen of Key West, Florida.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:46 amJudd - Did you gain your expertise in headline writing at the National Enquirer? Shame on you - or whoever authorized your misleading “headline”. The way you have strung your words, you imply that Ann is referring to ALL the 9/11 widows with her stinging criticism.
I realize why so many of the posters here parrot their irrational hatred of someone they disagree with repeatedly - they could not COMPREHEND the basis of Coulter’s criticism (the Democrat “Not-in-our-Name” widows who endorsed an anemic foreign response to 9/11). But another explanation might be dyslexia…or laziness, if your average posters chose not to read the transcript….
June 6th, 2006 at 11:47 amTransvestite = man who likes to dress in womens clothes.
Transsexual = woman trapped in a mans body.
I think Mann Coulter is a transvestite. She hasn’t bothered to have her Adam’s Apple removed and shes a freaky sex addict. I bet she still has a penis.
Wonder if any of her ex-boy toys, like Bill Maher, will ever speak up on whether they know what Mann Coulter really is. I bet she only gave them blowjobs and they don’t know what she’s packing in her panties.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:49 amWhy give this piece of human excrement the time of day? Ignore the piece of trash and hopefully it will shrivel up and die from lack of attention that it so desperately seeks!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:49 amWhy give these loony toons so much media attention? If I run around with no pants on saying that all umm.. lets say…. fat…asian… scientists worship satan and eat baby flesh, can I be on TV too?
June 6th, 2006 at 11:49 amPost 114 > some drag queens really dress like that with even a green wig that looks fake in a pic > go to Key West and see a real drag queen show or in Miami!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:50 am#118 - Mighty Teabagger agrees with Anne Coulter that the uppity widows need a spokesmodel.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:52 amWho is she ?? A drag queen ??
June 6th, 2006 at 11:54 amMighty Moron is a drag queen herself so no wonder she is upset by this TP thread > lol.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:54 amJay
MAnn Coulter. Think about it.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:55 amCorrection: MA is a drag queen HIMSELF so no wonder HE is upset by this TP thread > lol.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:56 amThis is why I stopped watching the Today Show years ago. Why anyone thinks Ann Coulter deserves this kind of platform is beyond me. I wish the Today Show would just ignore her, like they ignore whackjobs like Fred Phelps. Of course they don’t, because they want to stoke the fires of controversy, get people all riled up. And the thing is, people like Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin and whatnot have built their entire careers on that one thing: getting people riled up. That’s really all they are good at doing. I for one am sick of everyone trying to push my buttons all the time. I’m opting out of the agita.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:56 amMaybe Maher slapped his johnson on her forehead a few times than wiped his outboard on the drapes. It really brings out the anger.

June 6th, 2006 at 11:58 amANd I never knew someone could love the misery and pain and suffering of others so much until I heard about Ann COulter. I had no idea someone could be so full of hatred until i heard abotu Ann COulter. I had no idea someone love getting rich by bashing, smearing, insulting, lying, and offending anyone with ANY sense of common decency…until I heard abotu Ann Coulter.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:59 ammighty teabagger lol
yeah i bet hes a teabagger and knows what republican scrotums taste like.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:59 amCoulter needs to brush up on his/her Jesus.Does her/his proclivity for the short skirts say anything about his/her perception of how well she/he is pulling off the sexual deception?
June 6th, 2006 at 11:59 amYes post 126 Coulter was once male anyways > lol. I do not understand why the press is too scared to investigate his background and admit Ann is/was male? If a Democrat was a drag queen the press would be all over it like flies to tackpaper!
June 6th, 2006 at 11:59 amShorter Coulter: People are welcome to respond and have political opinions, so long as they’re in support of Dear Cheerleader.
I guess it’s hard to talk even her moron fan-base into dropping 25 bucks on that, so she has to lard it with the usual straw-man arguments and projected inferiority complexes. That she’s apparently some sort of house intellectual on the MSM just adds to the abuse.
And hey, since we’re all about having Christian-approved personal lives now, how’s Miss Thang’s? No man, so she’s celibate, right? Right, dearie? Oh, I sincerely hope so. Every time Ann Coulter pleasures herself, “Pat” Robertson cries, and then bench-presses 1,250 pounds.
June 6th, 2006 at 11:59 amSo Kathy Griffith called her out? Excellent but it would’ve been even more pleasurable if Janene Garafalo had been sitting beside the Annstein or came immediately afterwards. Or any celebrity gay fashion designer The Suburban Crack Skank Look is soooo 1990’s
June 6th, 2006 at 12:03 pmWhat should we expect? Coulter and the right like to co-opt 9/11 like it only happened to them. She somehow thinks that she was a victim of 9/11, unlike the real people who lost their lives. Even more amazing, it happened under a Republican president’s watch. Yet somehow, it’s the Democrats’ fault.
I have a career change suggestion for Ms. Coulter: suicide bomber in Iraq. She can start immediately.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:03 pmThe fact that she is being dignified by all these comments, is repugnant. To be crass, she is an un-appealing piece of shit, both physically and intellectually. She thrives on these reactions, she lives on being provocative, she is addicted to sensationalism. That despicable WO-MAN is laughing all the way to the bank. Why are we helping her? Ignore her! There are much more important events and people we should be paying attention to.
“The best part of her ran down her mother’s leg………”
June 6th, 2006 at 12:04 pmI don’t think it was their death the widows ejoyed.It was the attention.
My wife and I are lefties for sure, but we made similar remarks about the widows ourselves. They seemed to enjoy the attention they recieved to the point that it overided their grief. Their faces were lit up as the energy flowed to them in a way I have never seen in someone who had such a loss. There is no doubt that the modern American upper middle-class spoiled soccermom LOVES attention but I never thought,, THAT much.

#118 Shame on you - or whoever authorized your misleading “headlineâ€. The way you have strung your words, you imply that Ann is referring to ALL the 9/11 widows with her stinging criticism.
That’s the best you can do? Defending Ann because she was only referring to the widows who were critical of Bush as “enjoying their husband’s death so much?â€
Yeah, shame on you, Judd. How dare you accuse Ann Coulter of being a callous bitch, indifferent to the death and suffering of others? Be fair. She’s only indifferent to the death and suffering of people who don’t agree with her. Come on now.
Geez, MA. You’ve got to be getting paid for these posts.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:18 pmUntil AC, I’ve never thought that it was acceptable for a man to b*tch-slap a woman…
I have to disagree with the consensus. True she has a large Adams apple but she doesn’t have manly shoulders.
I’m so confused!
June 6th, 2006 at 12:19 pmIsn’t she the person who wrote that article right after 9-11 about how she was personally affronted because her ‘friend’, Babs Olsen, had been in one of the planes that went down?
See, mourning the loss of another bleached-blonde rightwing harpy = good
Expressing outrage about the loss of your life partner = bad.
Republicans; doing to math what they’ve been doing to science.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:19 pm#132 - I stole “Mighty Teabagger” from another commenter here: ForTruth. Should have given credit where credit is due. :D
June 6th, 2006 at 12:20 pmAnn’s turning into the spawn of Fred Phelps. I used to think the best strategy was to ignore her but her positions are so far over the line, the more exposure she gets, the better. Blasting the widows of 9/11 - that’s a great PR strategy. Another year or two, she’ll be on the arm of Fred Phelps protesting that soldier’s deaths are a liberal plot to undermine support for the war.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:22 pm#139 - There is no doubt that the modern American upper middle-class spoiled soccermom LOVES attention but I never thought,, THAT much.
Comment by the other John
I’m sure they’d rather have their husbands than the attention.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:23 pmSome say we should not be discussing Coulter. I would agree except for the fact that so many out there listen to her, and read her and take what she says as gospel fact. When crazy people get recognized soemone has to speak out and point out that they are crazy and refute the hateful rhetoric. Otherwise we ignore her and her uneducated fans will continue to be what they are.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:23 pmHow come Ms. Coulter won’t ever talk about her own sense of infallibility and godlessness?
Let’s guess that she’s a professed christian of some sort. So whatever happen to “love one another as I love you!”
The problem with the right wing’s notion of american christianity is that is neither.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:27 pm#74
Too bad they don’t even come close to following this doctrine.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:28 pmWhy do major media outlets give time to hateful people like this. It only legitmizes and glamorizes this kind of irrational, mean-spirited thinking - and puts money in the hands of people who use the misery of others to make themselves falsely controversial.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:28 pmThree cheers for Coulter! Ya gotta love her when she exposes the arrogant, secular supremacists
June 6th, 2006 at 12:30 pmwhy is being Godless perceived as a negative term? I perceive it as an intellectual and factual one.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:30 pmBritish Gary
Ditto.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:31 pmWhenever Coulter is discussed the hate on this board comes out in spades. You progessives want to attack her as if she is a tranny and then you condemn repubs for even bringing gender up. I guess then the repubs are justified in questioning Hillary’s preferences.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:33 pm#148 - Jay, I’m starting to get my feelings hurt here! All the women in my family are very tall and skinny, although much better looking that Anne Coulter, and while people always thought my sisters and I were boys when we were growing up (pre-boobage), none of us has ever been a man!
June 6th, 2006 at 12:34 pm“True she has a large Adams apple but she doesn’t have manly shoulders”
Mann Coulter is “genetically gifted” in trans slang. She grew up a skinny boy and so it was easy to start wearing dresses and passing as a girl…except the adams apple.
Not all drag queens are built like fullbacks. Some of them could have lunch with you and you would never, ever know unless they told you.
And as for transsexuals…even many gynecologists can’t tell, the surgery is that good.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:35 pmHere is a link to the clip of Kathy Griffin making fun of Coulter.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:36 pmThat did it. You guys just lost the white supremecist vote.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:37 pmMean spirited? Compared to yor comment she is quite composed.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:37 pmukases, you’re a dumbass chimpylover.
the barney frank rule says it is okay to bash closet cases like mann coulter…because they support a gay-bashing agenda.
otoh, the gop has no business bashing hillary’s sexual preference because she’s not a gay-bashing hypocracy.
its all about the hypocracy, you moron. you are too stupid to get that.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:37 pmIn thinking of the worst thing to say about Ann Coulter (”She’s a transexual”), you malign people who really haven’t harmed anybody. Are bigoted comments in the name of Coulter any different than what she spews? To me, such extreme comments are unnecessary, as criticizing Coulter is shooting-fish-in-a-barrel easy. To wit:
Even dead people vote in the right district.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:37 pmI am not a big fan of Ms. Coulter, but she is 100% right about the 9/11 widows. They are on television all the time, who the hell wants their opinion about anything. It seems they are always on blasting Bush, the memorial, freedom tower, the war on terror, airline security, Iraq, etc. Go away. I feel your pain, but you are nothing special. Quit bitching. Great interview Anne. I will buy the book just for that one quote.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:39 pmS
sorry british gary, you are correct.
it is perfectly okay to not believe in god.
and it is still protected by the constitution…at least until bush gets done destroying it.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:39 pmShe would look good in a Nazi uniform and whip presiding over one of the many domestic internment camps her fellow conservatives are pushing for.

June 6th, 2006 at 12:40 pm#167 Yes by all means keep talking about the Clintons’ sex lives. Nothing wins over moderates like choosing salacious rumors over real policy discussions. Coulter will never run for office (she can’t even follow simple voting laws) so it doesn’t matter what we say about her.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:41 pmGeez Tom3, calm down you are starting to freek out. Take an enima and calm down.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:41 pmI watch the Today Show every day but when I saw that Ann was going to be on I immediately flipped to Good Morning America. Seriously…I just can’t watch her.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:42 pmSteven is a dumbass chimpylover.
Mann Coulter is the one doing the bitching.
The 911 widows are doing a great job.

Second; Hillary hasn’t exactly called for my death. Ann has. As a died in the wool liberal my demise would have been included in her estimation of what constitutes hilarity.

What is androgen insensitivity syndrome?
Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X and one Y chromosome. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female sexual characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development (hermaphroditism).
Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome occurs when the body cannot use androgens at all. Partial or mild androgen insensitivity syndrome results when tissues are partially sensitive to the effects of androgens. People with partial androgen insensitivity (also called Reifenstein syndrome) can have normal female sexual characteristics, both male and female sexual characteristics, or normal male sexual characteristics. People with mild androgen insensitivity appear male, but are often infertile and tend to develop female breasts at puberty.

For the credit. Nothing else to discuss here, although I love animals too.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:49 pmTom3 is full of rage. Every comment has made starts or finishes with vitriol. This hate speach from the “progressives” is exactly what will keep the govt in repub hands. Hate won’t sell and the left is so full of it that they no longer can control it. Look at the comments here. So much hate directed against a man who can’t run again. That was Coulters message this morning. Bush has no need for popularity, he ain’t running any more. Keep up the hate speach and we will win again.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:49 pmHer new book is called “Godless.” Well, why didn’t Lauer just ask her questions like:
What church do you belong to and how often do you go?
or:
Do you believe in sex outside of marriage?
or:
If you are so intuned to the God fearing right wing in this country, how can you possibly be seen in public in those black mini-skirts?
June 6th, 2006 at 12:49 pmAnn does look sick, there is something wrong with her. She acted drugged or hung over

Comment by Tom3 — June 6, 2006 @ 12:39 pm
It just goes to show the common misperception of the term Godless. The extremists have managed to subvert words such as ‘liberal’ and ‘Godless’ into negative terms.
Neither are negative terms - they are both progressive.
Godless is a particularly educated term.
June 6th, 2006 at 12:53 pmThe only problem I have SOME of the widows of 9/11 is that they were complaining about the about of money they were receiving wasn’t enough. The compensation the that 9/11 famlies are receiving is a pure gift and should be accepted without prejudice considering people die everyday in accidents caused by negligence or maliciousness and their famlies are never compensated at all. Police, fireman, soldiers, ect…are killed in the line of duty and are their family compensation pales in comparison.
