Media Rewards Coulter’s ‘Faggot’ Comment With Greater Publicity»

banner

The media networks are racing to get Ann Coulter on the air, proving that no beyond-the-pale right-wing comment is so outrageous that it disqualifies you from receiving TV publicity.

This afternoon, CNN gleefully announced:

Ann Coulter joins Paula Zahn with her side of the story, that’s tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. Don’t miss it.

Also, last night, Sean Hannity heralded:

Don’t forget. Tomorrow night, Hannity & Colmes. Ann Coulter will be our guest.

This isn’t the first time the media has rewarded Coulter for her hate speech. After she attacked the 9/11 victims, NBC milked the controversy, repeatedly providing a forum for her to talk about it. Similarly, she was given repeated opportunities to discuss her comments suggesting Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) should be murdered.

You can contact Paula Zahn’s show HERE and Hannity & Colmes HERE. As always, please be respectful.

Digg It!

UPDATE: Media Matters has more.

UPDATE II: Atrios explains why we should care about Coulter’s TV appearances.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    First TP makes a big post about how the national media isn’t covering this story. Now everyone is covering the story and your upset again. Figure out what you want already!!


  2. DrSinker Says:

    I’d just like to see one of these stations insert the phrase “circus act” before Coulter’s name. Because that’s what she is - a circus act.

    I don’t have a problem with Coulter getting air time. I have a problem with her being portrayed as a serious person/intellectual. She’s clearly not. What she does is camp, nothing more.

    Oh, and, Paula Zahn’s terrible. Absolutely terrible. Did I mention that? Her show stinks. What is Hannity? He’s garbage too.


  3. Bier S. Lob Says:

    Dear Paula
    Will you please wear that blouse with the frills and the really deep neckline when you do your thing with Ann?


  4. ForTruth Says:

    What would you do with her Roger?

    Media Rewards Coulter’s ‘Faggot’ Comment With Greater Publicity

    And then, so does TP.

    Let’s stop talking about Ann Coulter. She has sidelined herself as a serious pundit. The right wingers are turning from her right this very minute and so should we.

    Good for you, Paula. It’s only fair that Ann be allowed to get her side of the story out. The media and the blogs have been brutal to her, never letting her tell her side. I’m sure she’s got a lot to tell, too. She’s hardly named any of the people she’d like to see killed. She’s barely even started on all the ethnic groups, religions, political parties, nationalities, etc. that she’d like to exterminate. When is it her time to talk? Huh? Huh?!!!


  7. AshenShard Says:

    #1 Roger_Roger

    the point is that she should not be rewarded for her bad behavior. There are no two equal sides to this story, she made a really detestable comment and should apologize for it. She should be sucking on a bar of soap, not rewarded with a lollipop for her foul language.


  8. AshenShard Says:

    I only hope they have someone else on who is able to speak up and call her on her bs.

  10. hacker bob Says:

    Looks like the media are not the only ones rewarding her. John Edwards is using her for fund raising. How dare he give her the attention.


  11. Roger_Roger Says:

    #4 and #7

    Ann Coulter is a pig. What she said was worthless. It wasn’t wrong as we live in a free society. Anyone with a connection to her should apoligize and avoid her. In the perfect world, she would never be on TV again and no one would buy her books. Sadly, this story is semi boring unless you get Coulter or Edward’s (or both) on live. That adds ratings afterall.

    Again, this lady is nuts and anyone who supports her is stupid.


  12. Shane Says:

    Coulter gets to explain herself on CNN tonight. Freud couldn’t explain that rationale.
    Roger_Roger do you think anybody cares about your opinion. We care about yours as much as Coulter’s. As long as we remember your both repugs nothing you say surprises us. Just remember to stay right where you are so you’re in position when your president shits on your head one more time. The rest of us are working on his impeachment.


  13. AshenShard Says:

    BTW, conservative bloggers, at least one, may be trying to tag her to liberal blogs. This is from a letter condemning her remarks:

    Such offensive language–and the cavalier attitude that lies behind it–is intolerable to us. It may be tolerated on liberal websites but not at the nation’s premier conservative gathering.

    They are really trying to distance themselves from her.


  14. Mary Poplins Says:

    This woman has a potty month. She should apologize for the nasty comments she said. Why is she getting any air time? No one in their right mind is listing to her.

  16. GSD Says:

    Will Lynn Cheney come on CNN and denounce Ann Coulter as a “bad woman”?

    Will Paula Zahn pout and mince?

    Will Coulter wear her crucifix between he spindly breasts while almost doing a Britney Spears gap shot for the sleazebags at CNN?

    Will Glenn Bleck say that people are being “PC” over a “naughty word”?

    Will Wolf Blintzer interview Jeff Gannon?

    I enjoy some of Ann’s Constitutional observations - she should leave satire and comedy for others! (Love Dennis Millers’ rapier wit.) As I noted before, John Murtha and Benedict Arnold have much in common - both had distinguished military careers - - and both sold out their country.


  18. Shane Says:

    hacker bob - That’s right and I donated money to John Edward’s just yesterday thanks to Ann Coulter. I think a lot was learned from the holocaust about not lying down when the Nazi’s call names. As a mother I’d rather my son bring home a man than a woman like Ann.

    I live in the district that’s represented by Rep. John Murtha and you are a damn idiot. Dennis Miller funny? He hasn’t been funny since he sold his comedic soul to the republiKKKans. You and Coulter should consider giving each other B.Js.


  22. AshenShard Says:

    #17 valiant venus

    First off, Murtha has nothing in common with Benedict. Second, Benedict did not have a country to sell out at the time. He had a bunch of treacherous colonists to loyally give over to the legitimate government, which was Britain at the time. War of the American Rebellion is what it is known as, not the American Revolution … not that there was much revolution at all, only a bunch of haughty aristocrats with lots of money who decided they should be the ones to tell the great unwashed what to do rather than the haughty aristocrats with lots of money in London.

  24. Jess Wundrun Says:

    I don’t think the hateyhatehate fest is going to resonate with swing voters this time around. I think people are beginning to see that Coulter’s barbs are truly a substitute for solutions, original thought and intelligent debate.

    Let her show off her bankrupt morality and intellect. The more she speaks the more she damns herself.

    The republicans will die by their own petard. I’m popping corn, putting my feet up and getting ready to watch.


  25. AshenShard Says:

    #23 klyde

    if she is back next year, I suggest we tuck this incident away and bring it up again. If they invite her back the next year then they are endorsing her as their mouthpiece for what they believe.

    John Murtha and Benedict Arnold have much in common - both had distinguished military careers - - and both sold out their country.

    I guess that makes about 65% of Americans, and probably a similar percentage of the troops, traitors, too. We should all be hanged.


  32. Tom3 Says:

    John Murtha never sold out his country. He never gave secrets to the enemy. He disagrees with Chimpy, but that’s not selling out his country, that is representing his constituents. Nothing wrong with that.

    Bush’s crony Franklin DID sell out his country. He sold Pentagon secrets to AIPAC. Franklin is in PRISON now.

    Scooter, Rove, Armitage, Ari and Cheney ALL sold out our country. They gave up Valerie Plame AND Brewster Jennings to the press, so Osama found out who our WMD experts at the CIA were.

    You want to talk selling out our country? That’s 100% Repukes.


  33. Tom3 Says:

    Daryll is obviously a faggot.

    He’s a typical Repuke closet case.


  34. Zappatero Says:

    I’ll contact Paula. H&C is pointless,

    Colmes needs to quit - preferably as soon as Hannity introduces Ann - with as much flourish as possible.

    Colmes will become a left-wing hero if he did that. But I’m afraid he doesn’t have it in him.

  38. tarazan Says:

    Ann Coulter is paid big money to make speeches, brought to address CPAC ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’, then she is on many television shows.-prime time-.

    While we are in two wars..could be three soon,swimming in deficit waters,….we have been COULTERIZED and MONICANIZED by the media.

    How does a soldier feel who fighting now in Iraq watching major American television stations and seeing the media obsession the story Nicole’s death and Coulter’s remarks?

    Not a good feeling.


  39. Shane Says:

    28. Daryll, Daryll, Daryll - The thing about Democrats is that we care about other people not just ourselves. Selfishness is a Repug trait. And we don’t worry that people will think John Edwards is gay. We wouldn’t care if he was. We do care about using the “F” word as derogatory because we’re trying to not be the dumbest country on the planet. We’re just waiting for Ann to use the “N” word. Then you charmers can dig yourselves into even deeper pits.

    No, we catagorize you as a homosexual who only shows up in threads about gay issues…

    I think the word ‘educated’ is a bit too much….

    You are not a good person Daryll. Bigots are never good people.


  50. Angry One Says:

    The media has already internalized this conservative brand of hate and takes it for granted.

    Whether the issue concerns gay Americans, 9/11, abortion, judicial appointments or political corruption, a seamless continuum of hate runs from today’s Republican Party through to its most extreme conservative proponents. And that means the GOP differs only in degree - not in kind - from the cartoonish and sometimes criminal likes of Ann Coulter, Fred Phelps or Eric Rudolph.


  51. klyde Says:

    Ashen Shard @23

    I may be a cynic but they have already endorsed her. This is the person who last year called Iranians “ragheads”has called john kerry a “total fag” and advocated poisoning a supreme court justice. After she called Edwards a “faggot” she was applauded and people lined up to praise her and have their photos taken with her. What more could they do to show that she is part and parcel of their hate filled party?

    Most of use think of Faggot in the same terms. CPAC put Ann on their podium and after using the F word they clapped and cheered and then afterwards they DON’T distance themselves from her. I think that shows very clearly the class of individuals in CPAC!!!!!!!


  62. JIMBO Says:

    Daryll, as a black man myself, I’d be very disturbed if anyone called me the N word.

  68. chimpeach Says:

    #28 Daryll

    Here’s the thing, Daryll. Regardless of what Coulter’s lame, insincere rationalization for it was, she used the word “faggot” because she considered it to be a slur and she knew her audience would, too. In fact, she knew everyone would consider it a slur. It’s not that everyone thinks it’s bad to be a homosexual, but because they recognize an attempt to denigrate someone when they hear it. She didn’t say it because she thought that Edwards was homosexual. She knows he’s not. But, she knows that a lot of people see it as a bad thing, despite whatever the Republican party tries to say about their “big tent”. They talk out of both sides of their mouth. That’s why she said it.

    So, why don’t you tell us why Republicans, conservatives, right-wingers, or whatever it is they choose to call themselves, want to have it both ways. Why is it that they tell the world that they don’t hate homosexuals, but they want their own people to know that they do? Why can’t they be honest?

    I keep seeing the lame Republican talking point about MLK being a Republican.

    He may have been, but he was a progressive and a liberal Republican. Most of the progressive and liberal Republicans were driven out of the party by the Southern Strategy and most of the conservative Southern Democrats became Republicans after the civil rights act signed into law by Democrat Lyndon Johnson.

    So please Republicans, embrace your inner Rev. Ted Haggards and inner Mark Foley’s and let yourselves be the happy, gay Republicans you want to be.

    Stop obsessing about gay sex like San Francisco dweller Michael Savage.

  73. JIMBO Says:

    Mann Coulter has a self-hating personality.

    Her problem is that, because she never has been widowed by 9/11 or experience same sex pleasures or learned anything other than what Mein Kampf has taught her, she thinks she’s better than anyone who is smarter and just as arrogant as th Chimperor Boy King God.

And I like how they try and attach themselves to the Democratic-Republican party of Jefferson. I’ve heard that talking point a lot lately, they leave out the Democratic part of the name. BTW, the Democrat Party grew out of the Democratic-Republican party. Republicans grew out of the Free Soilers and the anti-immigrant Know Nothing parties.

    And now Daryll has painted himself into a corner. If this is true, your opinion on whats to be believed or not, that makes Annes remark all the more unwarranted by your own logic.

    This is why Annes salacious remark is offensive, not because Edwards is a Faggot but because it’s an opinion, not a truth, best kept to ones self.

    If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all.

Anyone can do what she does, but most of us have more civility. Apparently, all it takes to be a celebrity/pundit (or be noticed, which is what Coulter screams for) is be crude, intellectually challenged and outspoken. I’ll be sure to note those who advertise during the interview with Coulter. I suggest we all do the same and boycott the products.

    Yeah I’ve noticed this is the best the right can come up with lately. I’m sure no other politician picked up on the style of the poeple they spoke to and adopted it before. As a counselor I do that with clients. Duh.

    Politicians speak to “audiences”. Its politics. Again the best the right has is to beat up in Hilly for being a politician.

    Oh, and I know the Coulter thing pissed everyone off, but what can you do? She isn’t affiliated with any candidate. I mean, she was at a Republican outing, but at least the comment was met with astonishment at the event. What is the point of pitching a fit about this? There is really nothing that is going to happen besides her offering a fake apology (like every other political apology) and everyone moving on to the next outrage. I don’t get the point of getting so worked up and out of control about this affair.

    a) people are crapping their pants over this guy, but he hasn’t said what he is about. All we know is that he is against the Iraq War.

    b) he pulled the same accent change at an event last week

    But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt since he’s new.

    Not that the Republicans have any great candiates. I used to love McCain, but he is pandering to the religious right and abandoning his previous positions. Guiliani is a pretty good candiate: a combination of the fiscal responsibility of the right plus some liberal social issues. Other than that, everyone else sucks in my book.

    Ashenshard, I think that if you look carefully, you will find that the founders of this country were not really “wealthy aristocrats” as much as gentleman farmers. None of them owned huge amounts of land. None of them came from “old money.” By today’s standards, they would probably be catagorized as upper middle class. Moreover, the system they advocated was not an aristocratic system. Jefferson, Madison and Franklin had a deep distrust of corporations because they felt this would set up a different type of aristocracy. But, it’s true that they all had a lot to lose which makes their Declaration of Independence even more impressive to me. If they would have failed, they all would have been hanged and their farms appropriated. I think they deserve respect.

    Oh man, you always do this to me. I’ll apologize to Terry next time I see him, and I’ll see what I can do. Just don’t blame me if we’re ass deep in turtles by this time next year.

    As much fun as this is, I have a sea to go part (okay - cats screaming to be fed. I’m sure I’ll have to go pick a switch for that fib… Reminds me of a funny story… )…

    Later!

    I think God scratched the chips that ALIENS put in Coulter’s and Darryl’s brains. The ALIENS only contact repugs - sightings only in RED states look it up.
    Even God can only put up with so much crap in his name. He hates to interfere but sometimes you just can’t listen anymore. What happens to all the CHIP BRAIN REPUGS during the Rapture.
    Be afraind Repugs - be very afraid.

    Oh, I agree with you for the most part. I was mostly fishing for trolls in that post, none took a bite … but I think one threw an insult at me.

    the hillary-accent comment from way up there got my attention…
    though i have a notion that poster is a border-troll… but…

    i remember listening to obama some months ago, he was in the south somewhere… i know i detected a bit of a southern twang there…

    now, hillary, even though she’s a chicago girl, lived in arkansas for many years… easy to understand that she would pick up an accent… i don’t recall hearing it so much, and i didn’t listen to this latest speech, but i know how easy it is to slip into a southern accent…

    i lived for several years in missouri (lots of arkansasans and tennesseeans there) and also nashville… i had a decent start on the southern drawl, being from southern illinois, but before i could get out of the south, i was tagged… it’s so easy to pick up if you spend any time at all there…

    both my kids went to college just 70 miles north of home, and they would remark on my southern accent… and i could hear theirs change to the chicago accent that a great majority of the students have…

    not making an excuse for hillary… if it was pandering… just saying that it’s totally understandable…

    now, barack obama picking up a southern drawl? can’t explain…
    maybe it was more of a black accent, as he was speaking to a black audience…

    good god… did i just say something racist?
    hope not… didn’t mean to…

    What’s going on here? Is unbelievable pretending to be Jesus? Isn’t that like blasphemy or something?

    Heh.

    Thanks, Ashenshard, I feel better now. I’m all about people learning more about the founders of this country because by today’s standards, they were not what a lot of people think they were. Most of them were balls-out populists. They were lefties. There were deists, not christians. Most of them had a serious problem with organized religion and with corporations. If they were around today, and going to church, they would probably be Unitarians.

    katy,

    I think people pick up accents to some degree, and they’re not aware of it. I was talking to a Cajun guy a couple years ago, and not only did I understand him right away (a miracle), I started picking up the speech pattern again. I lived in the heart of Cajun country in Louisiana for over 5 years. I don’t think it’s disrespectful, I think it just happens. People are trying to make trouble where there is none.

    Funny thing I noticed, the phony liberals nevermention what a fabulous job conservatives do reining in our lunatics. Your lunatics are merely “artistic”, or “expressive”. No mistaking - both sides in the lunatic war ca be RUDE!

    My post at Little Miss Attila:
    “I’ve always enjoyed Ann Coulter’s Constitutional input on various issues - but Ann, leave the humour to Dennis Miller! Everyone makes a stupid remark from time-to-time, but Ann’s chronic verbal diarrhea is stinking the joint up.

    Playing over at the “think-progress” sandbox, I’ve seen and heard things that would cause old ladies to faint. You’ve got to know that it’s not the pRUDE in us yearning to scream - such blather does NOTHING to advance conservative credibility.”

    Oh, and I see God’s here. God, on that tornado thing the other day where a bunch of grammar school kids were killed, what were you thinking? Because I’d really like to know….

    So, all that laughing and applause is what you call “reining in?” Hmmmm. Well, since you’re paying lip service to the idea at least, maybe you people should have a word with Michael Weiner. He’s definitely losing it lately and is in desparate need of reining.

    i agree… i never thought it was disrespectful, or pandering…
    it’s the content, the message, that is most important…

    damn trouble makers…

    Oh absolutely, Hagette, Ann Coulter is SO reined in. When are you going to work your magic and rein in The Boy King? The death count is pretty high now.

    How do you comment here knowing that we all know you’re a pathetic liar? You have no shame.

    Yeah. And, it’s also funny that that wild applause and laughter you hear after Coulter’s vile remarks are what you call “reining in.”

    Comment by chimpeach

    If you die AND there is a hell….are you going to ask for a “do over”?
    That’s the beauty believing in heaven or hell. When we die, if there is no afterlife - so what. But I would hate to swear something doesn’t exist and is superstitious hokum….and then find out, “Oh my God….IT IS real.”
