Rep. Hunter: Ann Coulter Is ‘Approaching That Level Of Being A Great American’

Yesterday on MSNBC’s Hardball, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) defended Ann Coulter’s attacks on John Edwards, including that she wishes he “had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”

He said that Elizabeth Edwards’s calls to stop making “personal attacks” against her family were attempts to “silence conservative voices.” He added that Coulter “is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view” and “closely approaching that level of being a great American.” Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/07/dhuntercoulter.320.240.flv]

It’s hard to understand how Hunter justifies calling Coulter a “great American.” She has repeatedly made anti-gay slurs, compared Muslims to members of the Ku Klux Klan, and advocated assassinating President Clinton. These extremely hateful views aren’t what characterize a “great American,” or even the majority of conservatives.

Digg It!

Transcript:

SHARPTON: Do you think that Sen. Edwards’s wife was out of line, or correct in calling her, saying, “Let’s take a lot of the personal attacks out of politics”?

HUNTER: Well, I think what Sen. Edwards’s wife said was very consistent with what lots of Democrats and lots of liberals have said, since the amnesty bill went down in flames, and that is that we need to silence conservative voices, in some cases, of course, those voices are going to be of talk radio, whom the Democrats are particularly focusing on.

In this case, Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view. And I think the idea that when conservatives talk, they’re considered to talk in a mean way, and yet when Democrats talk, they’re exercising their right to free speech and they’re simply conveying a philosophy. Of course, the whole idea in politics is to marginalize the other guy and make him appear to be extreme.

But I think especially because Ann Coulter said nice things about me, I think she’s closely approaching that level of being a great American, Al.

    Coulter is a bigoted nasty vulgar fascistic nincompoop > PERIOD.


  2. elvisgoat says:

    The Right Wing continues to implode. The next 18 months are going to be great.


  3. Duncan Hunter says:

    I decided before I said this that I had no chance at Presidency. Now it’s certain!!!!


  4. Crump's Brother says:

    Wow.

    Can the Party of Morals, Law and Order, and fiscal conservatism, be more hypocritical?


  5. Arthur C. says:

    Ann Coulter is a sociopath and an amphetamine addict.


  6. BlueArkansas says:

    She IS a great American—from the neoconservative viewpoint, which all thinking people have now rightly discarded as intellectually, ethically, and morally bankrupt.

    Hunter said it himself: “Coulter ‘is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view.’” What more does anyone need?


  7. tarazan says:

    The best abuse of the word..’Great’.


  8. Lisa says:

    I thought only Hannity decided who was a great American?


  9. BARTLEBEE says:

    Yea, she’s a great American alright.

    Right up there with Joe McCarthy and Jack Ruby.


  10. bob (not the hacker) says:

    He’s right on one point: Coulter articulates the conservative pov VERY well. They are all hateful, selfish, evil people.


  11. hellinabucket says:

    He really didn’t want to be president anyway. More money in the mud throwing, blinder wearing spine removed business of talking out your ass. And who better to suck up to than MAnn Coulter.


  12. Zooey says:

    Rep Hunter,

    It doesn’t matter how many nice things you say about Ann Coulter, she’s not gonna sleep with you again.


  13. Jay Randal says:

    I hope Ann Coulter sees my post number one on here. I want her to go ballistic and end up in prison where she belongs.

    Wasn’t it George Orwell who said “If you want a vision of the future, imagine Ann Coulter’s high-heels stamping on a human face — forever.”

    Of course, she might want to drop her radio handle, Axis Annie.

    Tends to turn the older folks off at Church bake sales.


  16. penalcolony says:

    Meanwhile, Duncan Hunter is closely approaching that level of being a great lobbyist. Should take about 18 months.

    Becoming a “Great American” what, exactly?

  19. barfly says:

    Hunter is a joke, even in his own district. He’s trying to set his son up to take his congressional seat, but that jet boondoggle that was recently revealed has really hurt him with his constituents. After ‘08, he’ll be out on his arse; with no congressional seat, and a failed candidacy under his belt, the only doors that will open for him are on K street.


  20. Edward R Olbermann says:

    she is a great American. kepp speaking the truth to liberals


  21. BARTLEBEE says:

    Duncan Hunter just ended any chance of ever becoming president. That quotes going to haunt him forever.

    Of course he was kidding about the “great American” thing trying to be self depricating, but its the stuff he said before thats going to haunt him.

    Calling her an articulate voice for the conservative party was a deal breaker. He’ll be lucky to become president of his Rotary club after this.


  22. Buck Fush says:

    Yeah right! A great American Fascist would be correct.

  25. frylock says:

    “Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view.”

    If she’s the articulate spokeswoman for conservatives, I wonder who a inarticulate spokesperson would be. Malkin? Dredge? Slimebaugh?

    Her rhetorical ramblings and personal attacks are simply stupid, intentionally arguementative and hardly form any basis for serious discussion.

    It’s all just rally calls for her “base” and what a base that is!!!

  30. CaptainMantastic says:

    I think Ann Coulter is attempting to break though the political correctness (championed by the left to the detriment of the country) that threatens to paralyze us as a nation. She is controversial, but so was Rosa Parks.

    By the way, her challenges to political correctness are so threatening to the left, most of her comments are intentionally taken out of context.

  38. Fox News Viewers are Stupid. says:

    .
    Coulter is an idiotic blowhard who can’t defend her positions in an honest debate. She pretends to win arguments by calling the other side names. That must have worked when she was six years old, but she shows her lack of intelligence every time she tries it as an “adult.”
    .


  39. upside00 says:

    #30 Captain MannCoulterTastic

    You miss the point, she hasn’t threatened anyone (except anyone that has has unprotected sex with her), she is a typical comedic entertainer who is trying to sell books. Nothing more, nothing less.

    But GAAAWWDDD!!!! Could she lose the little black Ho’ dress and get her eating disorder fixed? That body looks like it was stolen from a skeletal anatomy classroom!

    Ann Coulter is pure f*cking evil. Not the kind of evil that schemes in the night and relishes undoing good, but the kind of dark, apocalypic evil that leaves a karmic stain where it slithers of scorched and salted earth.

    She may be great ~ in such a way that the Great Depression and the Hindenberg and the Black Plague were great; as an attribute of effect, not character or benefit ~ but she is NOT a great American.

    Ann Coulter is not a great American.
    Ann Coulter is a great agitator.


  44. Jay Randal says:

    Duncan Hunter is a spittoon of warm spittle and the crud you find under an old refrigerator. He will probably end up in prison with his pal Abramoff.


  45. Chris L says:

    This is wonderful! I hope Ann Coulter becomes the spokesperson for the republican party. I hope she shows up at every campaign speech and fundraiser they have. Let the American people know that Ann Coulter is precisely what the republican party stands for and what they represent.

    On a personal note, I would just lie to say thank you to Ann Coulter. You are doing more to ensure a democratic victory in the upcoming elections than you will ever know. Thank you.

    Comment by Zooey

    One of our trolls even has his login linked to her web page, which is how I stumbled upon her column complaining about how Elizabeth Edwards had tried to browbeat her, poor iddle thing. Coulter was bragging about how she’d been invited on Hardball to boost its pitiful ratings, since she’s such a media star.

    If she ever changes out of that black dress, it’s probably into a t-shirt that says “that’s hot!” on the front. Couple lines of coke, a little Cristal and Ann is ready to curse the “liberals” on NBC in the privacy of her home.

    Woman is certifiable.


  54. werenotgonnatakeit says:

  59. President Clinton says:

    Wow, left wingers who have compared Bush to Hiltler, The Republican party to the Nazi party and have wished death upon conservatives claiming Ann Coulter is vile?

    Only my left wing hypocrites would cry about Ann Coulter. You, my left wing imbeciles, don’t like Ann Coulter because she treats left wingers with the same contempt that you, my left wing roaches, treat right wingers.

    My left wing sycophant followers, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

    Let us not forget that Bill Moher called for Dick Cheney’s assasination, and Randi Rhodes from Air America called for President Bush’s assasination. They were both applauded and supported by us the left wingers.

    So, what is good for the gander is good for the goose, right left wingers?

    or are we on the left the only ones that can’t take vile attacks against right wingers?


  60. Chris L says:

    Maybe the dems could get lucky and Coulter could go on a republican fundraising tour with Libby. They could start down south in New Orleans, then the southern border states. Here’s hoping.

  65. missmolly says:

    OK — this is about the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. A “great American”????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Ann Coulter’s idea of witty commentary is to spew playground taunts. Her idea of a scathing argument is to suggest that somebody is homosexual. She has suggested that all Muslims be wiped from the face of the earth and hopes that all liberals join them (just can’t stand being on the same planet with us, I guess). And though she can dish it out, she can’t take it — if she finds herself confronted by an irrefutable fact, she will invent a straw man and address her argument there instead. And her justification for everything is “people buy my books”. If this is the best conservatives do for a “very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view”, then conservatives are in trouble. Barry Goldwater must be spinning in his grave.

    And Elizabeth Edwards? Whether you believe she was acting as a concerned wife and mother or she was executing a carefully planned strategic move by the Edwards camp, you have to admit she was polite, she requested rather than demanded, and she didn’t call anyone any names (let alone make any “personal attacks”).

    Duncan Hunter doesn’t have a prayer in the presidential race, but it would certainly add to our comic relief if he stayed in it for awhile!

She could show up with Tom Delay, Libby, Bob Ney, the Dukester, etc. and help at republican campaign events. Remember, and repeat often, “Ann Coulter speaks for the republican party.”

    Thank you in advance for your answer to this ever-important inquiry. I can ask you because of the “Freedom of Information” Act. I know, you’ll get over it.


  72. Daryll says:

    It’s amazing, here I am in the airport club lounge (Presidents Club) and I notice that you libs want to degrade a fellow republican because of her views. My wife read this post and couldn’t believe that Ann Coulter was mentioned because she despises her rhetorical comments (one of our few disagreements). To me, Ann is a revolutionist. You will not find many activists/advocates that are blunt about political, economical and governmental issues. Ann tells it like it is and if your comments are not factual, she will let you know. She tells the real truth about the Democratic party (immoral pundits that are full of lies). For example Edwards states that he is for the American people yet he continues to receive $300 haircuts. He lives near a trailer park and often passes by the residents, but instead of greeting them, he ignores them. Does that sound like a true Presidential candidate? I think not. He also stated that the title “war on terror” was only meant for political purposes and that is damages are alliances. Well, apparently our alliances are receiving terrorist attacks therefore many want to use our same approach to destroy these international thugs.


  73. werenotgonnatakeit says:

    Ann doesn’t tell it like it is. She’s the political equivalent of Dennis Rodman. Shock for shock value’s sake.


  74. upside00 says:

Second that man Ann is an evil disgusting representation for ‘mankind’ for he has no kindness and brings evil out in everyone. Look how I’m speaking now for there are no kind words to discribe such a waste of oxygen. I hold it against Tweety bird and other major networks that continue to allow her on the air, she has nothing ‘new’ to say, so please networks stop it! For the rest of us, lets call sponsors of any show that she is on and let them know we’re not buying their crap if they support her airtime of evil.

    There have been left wingers published in newspapers who wished death upon conservatives the way Coulter has liberals?

    I’m guessing you can provide evidence of this, correct?

    Why did Guiliana (another insider) rebuild the command center in Bldg.7 after being told not to, or buy radios he knew would not allow for emergency communications, etc…?

    Daryll,

    You’re holding a double standard! Using your own words, Michael Moore is “blunt about political, economical and governmental issues.” Moore “tells it like it is and if your comments are not factual, he will let you know.” Moore “tells the real truth about” the Republican party “(immoral pundits that are full of lies).”

    Do you really think you’re fooling anyone here? Or your god?

    For shame…..

    I can’t stand Coulter but people do realize what she was saying right? She was saying that since there was so much fallout for her anti gay remark about Edwards she should have just said that she wishes he was killed in a terrorist plot just like Bill Maher did about Cheney. I can’t believe how much twisting of words goes on here.

    Bill Maher didn’t call for Cheney’s assassination and you know it asswipe.

    Comment by werenotgonnatakeit

    No he just said that he was sorry that Cheney was not killed in an explosion.


  104. Jim says:

    The standard Republican defense for their disgusting, hateful, and bigoted comments: “Democrats do it, too! And they’re trying to silence Republicans!” Never mind that no prominent Democrat has ever used the kind of language or rhetoric that Coulter uses. I say, let her keep talking, and let Republicans like Hunter keep defending her. I believe that most Americans have had enough of this crap, and will vote accordingly.


  105. dennis says:

    So Duncan Hunter says tongue in cheek that since Ann Coulter said nice things about she is a great American, and the headline here reads

    Rep. Hunter: Ann Coulter Is ‘Approaching That Level Of Being A Great American”’

    without providing the proper context? Even the video clip cuts him off before he flashes the smile to indicate how he says that in jest. This is how you guys choose to fight your battles, dishonestly? That’s justified because Ann is so vile I guess. And Elizabeth Edwards and everyone here is so sincere when all you really want is to raise he level of discourse.


  106. homopatrol says:

    Why is the right so jealous of fairly good looking man(Edwards) who made it on his own and is a distant 3rd in the polls?…..why…it’s almost gay envy(mAnn included)…..I laugh every time I see the unwarranted attacks on this guy..Why don’t you just say it, “I’m Queer and I wish I was John Edwards’ underpants”

    If she’s “great,” I’m happy to be a poor American.


  110. War4Sale says:

    Hunter is right.

    Coulter “is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view,” including the view that Americans who do not share their fascistic tendencies should be murdered in cold blood.

    We used to call those people Nazis, now we call them “conservatives.”


  111. SGT Higgins says:

    “(w)e can’t have a debate about issues [while] using this kind of language” after employing Marcotte and McEwan. Guess who hired them in the first place? Yep, Elizabeth Edwards herself.

    So, Elizabeth Edwards found Marcotte and McEwan’s comments acceptable enough for the women to be in charge of the Edwards campaign’s blog, but Coulter should stop speaking and writing because she’s “hateful?”

    Since Elizabeth Edwards is the one responsible for hiring the two bloggers, she is either so completely incompetent that she hired people for a presidential campaign sight unseen without even reading their websites, or she did check their websites before hiring and, at the very least, tacitly approved of their “hatefulness and ugliness” which “lowers political dialog.” You know, ’cause it’s OK to use “hate speech” as long as it’s hating the “right” people.
    Let’s see what the media have to say about Elizabeth Edwards’ Bloggergate.

    Thanks Newsbusters!

    Elizabeth Edwards isa prime example of the Pot calling the Kettle Black.


  112. bogtrotters says:

    If Coulter is a great American, then it’s maybe it’s time we put Jack Abramoff’s portrait on the dollar bill, put John Bolten in charge of the Peace Corps and elect Karl Rove to the Senate.

    This pronouncement was a Duncan Doughnut, i.e., it made me go “Oh! [Shit!]“


  113. bogtrotters says:

    Oops! Sorry for the typo. Maher, by the way, didn’t say Cheney should be blown up. He was implying that the First Amendment ALLOWS someone to have the right to say that.

    So, in essence, he was defending people like Coulter.

    Whom, I think, he boinked. Gawd!!

    Maher went on to say that if Cheney HAD died, many people would now be alive.

    That’s true: I can give you nearly 3,600 reasons why.

    Comment by upside00

    The point is that Edwards a democrat. An odd democrat. A democrat with an odd complex, to the point where he’s inferior. Reagan came from Hollywood, but at least people were a lot more excited about his presidential prospects. Thompson’s stock is rising, too, despite your desperate smear campaigns. Edwards is just dull, plain and simple, and a bad actor at that. He belongs in Hollywood.

    Limo-liberals. Gotta laugh at em’.


  115. SGT Higgins says:

    Ann Coulter may not be ‘nice’ about what she says, but she’s truthful.

    The left don’t hate her because she’s speaking in a way that they don’t like, they hate her because she’s effective.

    Left speech = free speech
    Right speech = hate speech???

    So, the Right hates Michael Moore because he’s effective, correct?

    Because my disgust with Coulter is entirely about her tone and her reliance on prejudice, lies and more lies. She isn’t truthful at all, which has been thoroughly documented over and over again.

    How can you defend as “free speech” her regretting that Timothy McVeigh hadn’t targeted the NY Times?

    Frightening!


  126. Zooey says:

    Sgt Higgins,

    Here are some “truthful” quotes from Coulter:

    They’re [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let’s do it. Let’s repress them. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment.

    We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

    Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.

    (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-arazzis… These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them… I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much.

    I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning.

    The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man’s dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it’s yours.

    The presumption of innocence only means you don’t go right to jail.

  127. SGT Higgins says:

    #116 – Zooey,
    Have you ever read Amanda Marcotte’s blog? It’s one of my favorites. — Just followed the link you provided and I think I’ve got her pegged. She’s a Rosie. She’s a self-hating lesbian. She’s grown up being told that being gay is shameful and dirty to the point that she believes it herself. She’s now on a kick to ridicule and degrade every one she sees as the ‘enemy’, every steotypical right-winger who ever said anything against gays, which currently is anyone on the right or supports the right. Kinda explains her hatred of all things religious. It doesn’t tell Ms. Amanda that she’s ok, she’s normal, she’s not a bad person. She needs reassurance for what she doesn’t quite believe herself.

    I don’t hold her at fault for her views, but they come across as, well, kinda sad, really.

    She gets enough loathing from herself, she doesn’t need it from any other venue.

    Can you tell, I used to be a shrink? lol


  128. SGT Higgins says:

    How can you defend as “free speech” her regretting that Timothy McVeigh hadn’t targeted the NY Times? —- Hey dipsh*t! I’m not the one who handed her a microphone,….. well…. I own “Godless”, maybe I did. Free speech is exactly that. She didn’t yell “FIRE’ in a crowded theater, she’s entitled to her opinion and dammit, the woman’s funny.

    Because my disgust with Coulter is entirely about her tone —-lmao “Don’t you take that tone with ME, young lady.” — A bit of righteous indignation on your part?


  132. gummitch says:

    Hey, on the lesbian note: Randi Rhodes quoted one of her gay friends as saying when pre-op transexuals start taking hormones, they wack out … and Coulter fits the bill both in appearance and behavior. My only question would be: which gender is she switching to? Ha! This kind of talk is a crass, mean-spirited and uncalled-for distraction from the issues that lowers the debate. Don’t you hate people who do that?


  134. Pete Bogs says:

    He said that Elizabeth Edwards’s calls to stop making “personal attacks” against her family were attempts to “silence conservative voices.”

    it’s nice to hear a consternative equate hate and ignorance with his own ilk… this was a rare moment of honesty for them…

    gummitch -
    They’re [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let’s do it. Let’s repress them. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment. — Amusing! Oh and to let you in on a little secret—-it’s dripping with sarcasm.

    We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. — This one contains IRONY — it’s what the extremist Muslims would like to do to US.

    Not all Muslims may be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. — She’s fairly accurate here.

    (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-arazzis… These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them… I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much. — they DO seem to be enjoying the ’spotlight’ just a bit much for ‘grieving widows’. I also don’t think Casey would have much cared for what his mother did in his name.

    I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning. —- And what a warning it would be. Better than any ’stern talking to’ could do. —again, this is her opinion and the reason it’s not HER finger on ‘the button’

    The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man’s dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it’s yours. — Sarcasm, once again. God does intend for us to be good stewards of that which he’s given us dominion over……not that you’d have to worry about any of that ‘God’ stuff.

    The presumption of innocence only means you don’t go right to jail. —- Amusing? not really her best stuff, maybe she just needed some filler here.


  138. Gregor Samsa says:

    I didn’t realise that the path to being a great American was littered with calls to bring back physical punishment, exhortations to “invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity”, claims that god said “the Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours”, or praises of the benefits of “local fascism”.

    Great American indeed.

    And I have yet to see anyone quoting Ann Coulter’s so-called hate speech ever provide any context whatsoever as to the point she was making, or ever admitting that what she was saying was satire.

    If these quotes are so offensive, why keep repeating them? Why listen to her at all? Just try admitting your hatred for her is just as bad as the hatred you think she is full of.


  140. buckles says:

    Comment by SGT Higgins

    Thanks for sharing your viewpoint. Apparently, you give her far more credit for the use of sarcasm and irony than I do, having seen some of it in context, and listened to clips of her on air. You credit her with being sarcastic in her comment about the First Amendment, but as with everything else she writes about “liberals”, it’s pretty clear that she really has no interest in debate, or in issues, for that matter.

    I think the Right Wing likes her because she gives voice for their darkest, most un-Christian thoughts.

    And I’d sure like to know what you meant by: “not that you’d have to worry about any of that ‘God’ stuff.”

    Yesterday on MSNBC’s Hardball, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) defended Ann Coulter’s attacks on John Edwards, including that she wishes he “had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”

    That’s dishonest TP. She was commenting on Bill Maher’s [Cheney] comment there, but you failed to post the whole quote.

    She’s said enough dumb things w/out TP [and others] having to lie about her.


  146. Coffins draped with flags says:

    Hope Hunter has another job lined up for 2009 because he won’t be returning to Washington DC in January 2009. The Republican party is dead… that’s D-E-A-D, dead. And potty mouth Coulter will continue to sell her hatefilled books and laugh at everyone, including the Republicans, all the way to the bank.


  147. Carlos says:

    She’s approaching that level, not quite there yet.

    She could get there by insinuating an incestuous relationship between Elizabeth Edwards and her son, and a murder to cover it up. That would make Coulter a great American.

    Hunter should be credited with being honest. Clearly, today’s ‘conservatives’ are hate-mongerers who support illegal acts which result in advancing their un-American, anti-Constitutional extremism. These buffoons have wet dreams over the chicken-hawk, draft-dodging criminal Dick Cheneyburton, gleefully squeal like pigs in manure over Libby getting by with perjury and obstruction of justice (the same charges that caused Clinton to be impeached), support the use of American troops as cannon fodder for their neo con, nation-building designer wars. (m)Ann Coulter’s calls for murder brings out these cretins’ true colors-mostly blood red and coward yellow.
    Those who support Coulter and the other fascist apologists, as well as Der Chimpenfuehrer and Dead Eye Dick, are fundamentally traitors to this country.

    Don’t be so sure. Have you read “Armed Madhouse” by Greg Palast? San Diego County’s new registrar of voters was a Diebold saleswoman. Her assistant is coming from Ohio. 2008 is lost unless the votes are actually counted. Nevada will decide the presidency.


  161. missmolly says:

    To SGT Higgins –

    Hate speech can come from either side of the political spectrum, and so can free speech. Ann Coulter doesn’t speak for everyone on the right.

    I have never heard anyone in the media claim that Ann’s first amendment rights should be taken away from her. I HAVE heard people exercise their first amendment right by saying she spews hate-filled vitriol. But hate-filled vitriol is her entire shtick — I hardly think she would be offended by such comments.

    Here are a few examples of her free speech:

    “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”

    “I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.”

    “Press passes can’t be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President.”

    “They’re [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let’s do it. Let’s repress them. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment.” (I guess she’s only a fan of the first amendment when she’s doing the talking?)

    “We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too.”

    “There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats.”

    “How can we hope to deal with people with no sense of irony? The next thing you know, New York City cab drivers will be threatening to bathe.”

    To a disabled Vietnam vet: “People like you caused us to lose that war.”

    “We should require passports to fly domestically. Passports can be forged, but they can also be checked with the home country in case of any suspicious-looking swarthy males.”

    There seems to be a deep concentration of hate there, but it’s all free speech. Yes, she gets disapproving reaction — as would a leftist who made comments of this ilk. She inspires wrath not because she’s a right-winger, but because her comments are hateful, racist, and violent. And just plain mean and sophomoric.


  162. Captain USMC says:

    She’s made it very clear that she did that on her own. Is it difficult for you to believe that a mere “wife” could be that independent? A few days previously, she’d taken a public and opposite stance to his on gay marriage.

    Why is it that every single time Coulter (and any other righwing pundit) gets caught being racist, vitriolic, hateful, just plain wrong, or simply delusional, the rightwing responds with the “It’s just a joke!”

    Memo to neocons: Jokes are usually funny.

    Of course, maybe I just don’t get the Republican sense of humor, where race bating and wishing murder upon others is amusing.


  170. Ann Coulter says:

    I hate all of you…why don’t all you liberals go back to school and learn the real meaning of being an American and that is to shut your fat mouth and accept what the authority that voted itself in power tells you. Political discourse should only be allowed on a need-to-know basis.

    If you are one of those pigs who voted for a democrat (gasp!!!) I hope the next time you vote that you choke on a Ding Dong and die before you vote is even cast. HaHaHa!!!! Hate, hate, hate! I love to hate people who are not like me and those who don’t like me. Now, if you will excuse me I have to go write some completely hateful, painfully ignorant article to be published on an equally ignorant website.

    Hugs and kisses to all!

  179. Pat says:

    Hunter is simply being consistent with right-wing rhetoric. Always misrepresent the opposition when they are right. Always misrepresent the right-wing when they are obviously wrong.

    Mrs. Edwards was not trying to silence anyone. She was simply trying to raise the level of political discourse back up to the level of political discourse and away from right-wing personal attack rhetoric.

    Anthrax Coulter’s every word is designed to bully and intimidate opponents away from political discourse using personal attack, insinuations of violence and unrelenting demagoguery.

    There is only one way to reduce the level of right-wing demagoguery, do what Elizabeth Edwards did every time a right-winger goes personal and negative.

    I have been advocating on-line for years for reform of America’s anti-democracy, terrorism funding, crime fostering authoritarian drug war laws. I talk issues, science and public policy. The right-wingers invariably respond with personal attack distractions. Instead of engaging them on their terms I point out that personal attacks are not democratic political discourse but rather the intentional effort to subvert democratic political discourse. Much like Elizabeth Edwards did so successfully. The thugs always run away when they see that I will not be intimidated and that I will stand up for American democratic values.

    A good current example of this can be found on the Allwntown, PA Morning Call’s editorial thread for 7/2 about a regional drug task force. When the thugs could not intimidate me with personal attacks they were forced to try to address the issue at hand. This was perfect since their rhetorical solutions immediately turned to Draconian sentencing concepts and mass murder. As they showed their true selves I was able to point out their uncivilied perspective. http://www.mcall.com/news/opinion/all-editorial2.5922630jul02,0,7904650.story

    They can’t win on the issues. They know that they can’t win on the issues. My goal is always to force them to go to the issues. Change will happen in America only when good people who love American constitutional values of human rights, civil liberties and social justice give other Americans an affirmative representation of the alternatives to these right-wing demagogues and thugs.

    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution
    and to the Bill of Rights of America.
    And to the Declaration of Independence,
    Upon which we stand as
    One nation, under law.
    Indivisible.
    With liberty and justice for all.

    Pledge to yourself this Independence Day to take back America from the Reich-wing thugs, in sboth of the dominance parties, who have usurped our liberty.

    In my world, wives tend to stick up for their husbands (and vice versa). It’s about being good partners. Perhaps in your world that isn’t true, and a wife isn’t allowed to speak up when someone references her dead child in the defamation of her husband.

    That’s because there is no Ann Coulter on the left. The closest we can come MIGHT be Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, or Stephen Colbert — and they are all satirists, not pundits! Furthermore, they aren’t above making fun of the left as well as the right when it’s warranted, while Ann is a Johnny-One-Note. Even James Carville, who can get so riled up you can see the spittle flying, manages to stay on the issue and doesn’t resort to blanket condemnations or personal attacks. So what voice on the left — you know, the VAST left-wing media conspiracy — is as hateful and vitriolic as Ann?

    Let them consider Ann Coulter the architype of conservatism. She is obviously par for the course. From the cross section of “conservative” read intolerant, fascist christnazi zealots (primarily Christian Russian immigrants) I see at our Pride events here in Sacramento, she typifies the intensity of anger, hate and intolerance as well as the overt epithet slinging typical of the radical conservatives in control right now.
    Let them display these overt tirades of abuse. The more the general, average person sees these vapid demonstrations of fearmongering and insult, the more driven away they wil become. The apparant rise of athiesm (several articles on it so far) is demonstrating the public’s oversaturation by religion. Maybe these same conervative rages of the verbal kind will do more for our liberal movement than all the protestations from our side. Let them rage, they will only hurt themselves. We work on fighting them in a civilized manner.

  190. Pat says:

    There is almost no left-wing in America today. This is because the right-wing, like Coulter and her ilk, have demagogued the left since 1970 without any effective rebutal from the left. The result is that most of the elected Democratic Party in America are right-wingers who run further and further to the right every time the likes of Coulter open this filthy mouths.

    This is part of the real purpose and success of the drug war.

    Jim Hightower, during the 2004 election cycle, lamented the lack of loud mouthed drunks on the liberal side of the political discourse in America. silencing the left is one of the objectives of the drug war from the day Nixon created it in collusion with the Dixie-crats, (the Blue-dogs and DLC of today).

    The 1960-70’s American left organized the anti war movement and colluded with the civil rights movement. The pot smoking hippies, college students and radical blacks. These groups became electorally empowered by the Voting Rights Act and the 26st Amendment. The drug war was used successfully then and today to target these groups for oppression and mass disenfranchisement.

    So successful is this ploy that most Democrats today use the drug war to look tough on crime but in reality this reduces the left and poverty oppressed advocates allowing Democrats to campaign more to rural white interests and less to urban poor interests. the groups who were to core of the Democratic Party by the mid-1970’s.

    The fundamental purpose of Nixon’s drug war was the revival of Jim Crow and the neutralization of the Voting Rights Act. The 2000 presidential debacle in Florida was the first major demonstration of this hitting critical mass. An election decided by fewer than 1-thousand votes in a state that used classic Jim Crow criminal disenfranchisement to “purge” hundreds of thousands of poor and mostly minority voters from the rolls. In 2004 Kerry lost by 3-million votes nationally when more than 5-million American were that year criminally disenfranchised from the electoral process.

    In the (very) mean time the GOP forced the Democrats to adopt the democracy subverting drug war or be demagogued out of politics as “soft on crime”. While Reagan’s GOP, unmolested, brought the Klan into their big tent.

    The Coulter’s of today feel safe in their bellicose and overtly violent rhetoric because the only opponents to the GOP today are too scared of her ilk to strike back in kind.

    Ku Klux Ann Koulter will have a free stage as long as good Americans stay silent against her.

    Saying that Bill Maher called for Cheney to be killed by any method is just untrue. He said that if Cheney died, many other lives would most likely be saved.

    Bill Maher is not a democrat and certainly does not hold express the views of most progressives. He has some very liberal and very conservative views according to the particular situation. He is a Libertarian who believes in a small limited government that is maintained to provide basic services, like roads. His liberal views are expressed in opposition to this war and the current administration. He skewers the left and the right equally.

    So Hunter is admitting what we already knew about conservatives? Conservatives agree with Coulter’s position regarding hate? What I believe that he means is that he wishes Conservative men had the stones to be as hateful as Coulter but are reduced to hiding behind her skirts as she spews forth the venom they wish they could spew.

    Coulter, as the spokeswoman for Conservatives:

    1) Advocates poisoning Supreme Court Justices
    2) Cannot debate the issues but must resort to comments on a presidential candidate’s sexuality, hair or dress
    3) Considers the WTC widows to be harpies
    4) Wishes a presidential candidate would be killed by a terrorist

    Coulter says things like this and thinks she can skate because these things are just “jokes”. Either:

    1) Coulter’s ignorance is greater than even I thought and she does not understand the meaning of the word “joke”
    2) She’s not joking

    How sad that conservatives are proud to be represented by someone who stands for nothing but hate.

    From the San Diego Union Tribune:
    Pentagon rejected aircraft built by campaign donor

    Four months after Randy “Duke” Cunningham entered Congress in 1991, he joined with Rep. Duncan Hunter to urge the Pentagon to buy an aircraft that became the focus of a congressional investigation this week.

    The DP-2 Vectored Thrust Aircraft, developed by duPont Aerospace in La Jolla, received $63 million in congressional funding despite repeated Pentagon studies that criticized the vehicle as being unsafe and unworkable.

    After 20 years of testing, the aircraft has never flown and has never received a positive review from the military, prompting an investigation by the House Science and Technology Committee.

    Funding for the aircraft was spearheaded by Hunter, R-Alpine, and former Rep. Christopher Cox, who now leads the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    If KKKoulter can openly advocate mass murder and express an affinity with the worst domestic mass murdering terrorist fascist in American history I can enjoy her look of fear at hearing Americans vocally support a real American who is brave enough to stand up to her bullying demagoguery.

    We’re destroying this country by trying to protect it from the likes of you, is that it?

    F*ck off.

    Its not for you to talk about Democrats as if they were not Americans.

    Democrats make up a large portion of this country, and while I myself am not a democrat, I vote with them, to beat the neocon scum you clowns produce.

    Democrats are Americans, and have every right to speak their minds, something clowns like you are about to find out, about this time next year.

    Everybody agrees George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were great Americans. They were both slave owners. Ann Coulter has never done anything quite as heinous as enslaving blacks, so she is a legit candidate on moral qualifications for American greatness.

    To Capatain USMC. These two faced liars on here love you today,but watch for what happens when a fellow Marine is accused of a crime by the enemy,with no other witness than the enemy. It’s happening right now as we speak. They spew hatred for your service behind your back, and love you here,where they can hide from their friends who openly hate you and our millitary. They will only truly love you when they need to use you for their views. Think Cindy Sheehan. She was queen for a while there was’n't she. Now they are through with her, and her life is a miserable wreck. She was a star,now shes just a lady who lost her son in combat. I feel sorry for her,and they way she was used by the likes of Randy Rhodes and the rest of the radical left.


  247. Please says:

    Well let me ask you this, have any of you “Retards” ever read one of her books? I’ll answer for you, “NO” but you all seem to know Ann. Like I said you feed off OF each others crap.

    Although you have a point, the way you express it seems to indicate that you do not see this as a tendency of all conscious thinking social mammals. Do you think only “lefttards” display this tendency. To be valid, ideas must be consistent and transferable to novile situations otherwise it’s just blind ideologue…

    I’ve read about half of Godless, and I read her online blog articles each time she posts a new one.

    I’ve read the bitch.

    And she’s earned the title, AXIS ANNIE.


  251. BARTLEBEE says:

    Duncan Hunter is a festering puss filled carbuncle on the Ass of the RNC, and he’s got as much of a chance of being elected President as does Slappy White.


  252. Ian L says:

    He says right at the end why he think’s she is a great american, and it has nothing to do with what she said about anyone else. he think’s she’s a great american because she said nice things about him:

    “”"
    But I think especially because Ann Coulter said nice things about me, I think she’s closely approaching that level of being a great American, Al.
    “”"

    To be fair, if you watch the clip, i think he might have been joking about that last part. They cut the clip off right after he says that so its hard to tell. But from his tone of voice and facial expression, i think he was joking about her being a great american. Unfortunately, i dont think he was joking about democrats or liberals wanting to silence conservatives nor do i think was he joking when he said she was a good spokesperson for the conservative view. So for that he’s still a moron at best. Coulter i dont think represents conservatives except on the extreme right end of the spectrum.

    He was. I actually mentioned this ealier. But I also pointed out he was NOT joking about her being a conservative spokeswoman for the conservative view.

    THAT sentence, was the end of any chance he ever had (which was around zero), of ever becoming president of anything other than his condo association.


  254. BARTLEBEE says:

    Hunter sold his soul a long time ago for a nod and a wink,and he’s not coming back.

    Cindy Sheehan is a courageous woman. I don’t need anyone’s love or respect–the guys and gals in the field do. I proposed to my wife on the 4th of July, but she is on an extended tour. At least we can send e cards. I think that people hate the situation more than each other.


  256. Lora says:

    Rep Hunter,
    It doesn’t matter how many nice things you say about Ann Coulter, she’s not gonna sleep with you again.
    Comment by Zooey

    I think you may be wrong about that one, Zooey, considering Ann-thrax’s reputation for sleeping around. I think she and Dumbcan Lemon Chicken-Hunter make a “great” couple.


  257. Randy says:

    LOL
    Ann would not have attacked Edwards family if the loon Edwards himself would not keep bringing his dead son in to the political arena.
    Perhaps Edwards needs to channel a more politically adept spirit into his political discourse instead of a dead fetus.
    Just a thought.

    Comment by Randy

    To Just a thoughtless,
    We all know that Ann-thrax attacks anyone who is, in her own words on a CNN interview, “to the left of Jean Schmidt.” And where does the “dead fetus” come in here? John Edwards lost a teenaged son; it’s the rightwingers who are always making a fuss about dead fetuses. Oh, I’m sorry; when abortions are being discussed, they’re not “dead fetuses” but “murdered babies.”


  261. hcl4 says:

    So to conservatives she is a satirist/comedian. Everything she says is just a joke, no need to take it seriously. In that case she can have her own show on Comedy Central, or is CC too liberal for her?


  262. Charlie says:

    Ann Coulter was born about 60 years too late. She would have had a fantastic career as a guard at Auschwitz.


  263. Pat says:

    TO: kams912 # 234

    Too true that too many Democratic Party leaders are no better than any Republican. that is why I quit the Democratic Party and am today a proud Washington Independent.

    George Washington: “Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.”

    The difference is that the average Democrat is a constitutional values loving America while most Republicans seek only to gain power in order to destroy the constitution. Democrats are redeemable with some re-education back to a human rights, social justice, civil liberties agenda. Republicans are fascists who deserve the only response that the civilized world has ever found to deal with fascists, over-whelming force.

    Happy Independence Day.

    P.S. Being a right-winger I know that you are a Second Amendment advocate. Thank you for your ardent defense of my Second Amendment rights.


  264. KayT says:

    Randy,

    You obviously have not heard John Edwards say a single thing about his son’s death. If you had, you would know that his son died at the age of sixteen in a car accident. And no, it was not a drunk driving accident. So don’t even go there.

    You are probably thinking of Rick Santorum (R) from PA who frequently talked about his dead fetus. He and his wife brought the fetus home for his other very young children to play with before burying it. He even wrote about it in his book. To use your words he “needs to channel a more politically adept spirit into his political discourse instead of a dead fetus.”


  265. Pat says:

    TO: dbadass # 249

    While we leftists may indeed have evolved from bacteria the GOP is and always will be a festering canker ridden social disease on the body politic of America. We leftists are the antibiotic and that scares them to no end.

    Get up, stand up… Happy Independence Day. Don’t give up the fight.

  272. Ricky Barnes says:

    All of the talk one way or the other pro or con “Ann Coulter” cannot change the fact that Ann Coulter is entirely irrelevant to my political views or any other views on important issues AND I am not alone in feeling that way about Ann Coulter and anyone who estimates she’s a “great American.” That statement is a gross slap in the face of genuinely “great Americans” and genuinely great human beings.

    Millions of Americans and billions of human beings couldn’t care less what Ann Coulter thinks, says or does. I believe the same can be said about much of the rhetoric these days – no matter its topic or source. Genuinely great people – regardless of their personal particulars – are too busy with authentic exploration, authentic discovery, authentic understanding and authentic expression – in other words, authentic living. The American political system is very close to irrelevance as are those who depend on the current system for their miserable survival.

    Give me a break! I suppose no Republican woman has ever had an abortion nor no Republican man has ever paid for or force a woman to have one, eh!? What incredible BS!

  280. esther says:

    I think the message is that if you tell Ann Coulter to stop the vicious personal attacks you would be silencing her, because she has absolutely nothing else to say.


  281. Feduphoosier says:

    Coulter is representative of the ‘conservative view?’ I don’t think so! Coulter is a representative of the haters; the classic bullies. Duncan Hunter just unmasked himself as yet another one. I invite his district to take notice.

    I am surrounded by ‘conservatives,’ and if they were as hateful as this woman, the entire state would be in flames, and nooses hanging from every tree. The conservatives I know are polite, generous, and respectful. This woman is an embarrassment to this country and human species. She should be ignored and marginalized as an obvious wacko.

    She isn’t the voice of anyone but the haters – and they are a loud, nasty bunch. The bullies of our childhood grow up into these things; still bashing others in an attempt to make themselves feel important. The more she attacks, the more desperate she appears. “Notice me!” Not me. I won’t give her the time of day, she’s not worth 5 nanoseconds of my attention.

    Elizabeth was right to defend against her, because the media needs to wake up and realize it has some responsibility to not bring outright racists and hate-mongers on their shows and treat them as mainstream commentators.

    Ignore whats-her-name. It will make her absolutely crazy.


  282. SGT Higgins says:

    Zooey,
    She was afraid of being assaulted by a dying woman over the phone? —- No, of course not. But having been ATTACKED, physically by those on ‘the left’ before, she understandably is a little gun-shy around those who lean left. Like the audience who cheered for Mrs Edwards, for example.

    AC seems to bring out the worst on both sides of the spectrum, — Perhaps, but ‘the worst ‘ that she ‘brings out’ is usually just to drag out into the light of day that which the ‘left’ would very much like to go away.

    I also fully support our right to cry foul.

    Free speech goes both ways, right? —- Oh absolutely….but then again, you’re talking to a guy who thinks if a backwoods hick wants to open a shop and sell only to whites….it’s his ‘right’.
    And then the citizenry has a ‘right’ to boycott and bankrupt him.


  283. SGT Higgins says:

    What a contortionist you are. Don’t you realize how juvenile and insane you make yourself look with such distorted logic based on perverted misrepresentations of my writing?

  284. SGT Higgins says:

    — That you could read that post and come away with THAT is very telling.
    SGT Higgins

    Yeah, I know, where could I ever have gotten the idea you find Coulter funny?

    Oh …

    … dammit, the woman’s funny.
    SGT Higgins

    Just admit you like racist, homophobic and homicidal humor. After all, as a shrink, you should know that admitting it is the first step.

    Comment by MD

    MD, MD, MD….. *sigh* where do I start? I wasn’t DENYING that I find AC humorous (you can define her brand of humor any way you choose, doesn’t matter to me)
    I was surprised that you could read a post where someone is relishing the look of fear on someone’s face and not want to call ‘em on it.


  285. SGT Higgins says:

    Oh, and MD?

    I’m not a shrink, never was. Shall I start placing all sarcasm and humor in parentheses for you?

  288. BushloverNOT says:

    If being a “Great American” includes being hateful, intolerant, bigotted with a trashy mouth to boot, then, yes, she is truly a great American. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we’re scumbags. What’s also scary is that people still listen to her and think she is right.


  289. Mark says:

    Ann has her right to free speach regardless of how bigoted and idiotic it is. . . so do we . . . amazon is advertising on her site. We should let amazon know what we think of a company that gives money to a bigot. . .


  290. Adult Dating says:

    I think the fact that Ann Coulter is a reprehensible human being is one of the few things liberals and conservatives can agree upon these days.


  291. John H says:

    “Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view.”???

    If that is true it says a lot about the so called conservatives. It has been more than a few years since I was in the academic world. But I still remember the classes on rhetoric and ethical argument. One of the best indicators of someone having a weak position is when they turn to ad hominem, “argument to the person.” Attacks on anyone and everyone is Ann Coulter’s stock and trade.
