Ann Coulter throws a fit over Gingrich victory.

On a Sunday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter explained why Romney fell short in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary, blaming the priorities of South Carolina voters for Gingrich’s success.

“Apparently, South Carolinians would rather have the emotional satisfaction of a snotty remark toward the president than to beat Obama in the fall,” Coulter, the author of “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America,” said. “We saw it in the debates when Gingrich would say things that didn’t really make sense. That is what you usually associate with Democrats, which I described in my last book, ‘Demonic,’ how mobs behave.”

Some of what Gingrich has said might appear to make sense, she said, but should be analyzed more closely.

“Something that sounds like it makes sense like, ‘Mitt Romney doesn’t have influence over his super PAC — that makes you wonder if he’ll have influence as president,’” she continued. “How many times does Mitt Romney have to say it is illegal for a candidate to have influence on the super PAC. It is not, interestingly, though, for a president to have influence. So it makes no sense if you think about it for all of three seconds, but it sounds like it makes sense. It is just like what you get from liberals most of the time and the cheers and yahoos, and that is what we kept getting from this audience.”

It's hilarious.



Besides, I'd have thought Gingrich would have been right up her street ideologically. I suppose winning at all costs (and it's great that a candidate as piss-weak as Romney is their only best shot at that) is her mantra.

over common sense. This! coming from the Queen of Hyperbole who prides herself as being one of the most inflammatory pundits on earth. After the Rethugs have literally spent decades tamping down critical thinking amongst their followers and now she's shocked that they are following Gingrich's crazy shit like lemmings?!

Just boggles the mind....

that if Christie didn't get into the race, then Mittens would win. She figgered they'd show that clip of her saying that over and over and she'd be 'recognized' as some sort of republican 'prophet'. Then she could con someone else into publishing another one of her screechfest books.

You've been playing that game for years Ann, and now you're upset that all capacity for critical thought has been entirely replaced by reflexive reactions to clever phrasing?

You poor thing. Let me get you a fainting chair.

At the time she said that, Coulter was absolutely correct with that prediction. And incredulous as it may seem for her to be factual about anything, she is also spot-on in proclaiming that the vile Newt would also lose. So now Coulter has two losers to fret about. I'm a bit puzzled. As far as outcomes go, what's the difference between the two? Losing is losing.

President Obama will beat all of the occupants of the Republican Presidential Clown Car. Any of the other nuts and a blowout victory is possible. And that means long coattails. Coulter is right for once.
