2. Actually, I would never think that.

Stupid is a singularity into which all vestiges of intelligent thought collapse. Accusations of communism and socialism are right wing dog whistles.

14. You I saw this yesterday and said, to my boyfriend, at least she is showing a smidgen of talent.

Usually she is a rambling incoherent mess.

I was thinking how the fuck did she make it to SNL?

I think the piece is hilarious. Just not for the reasons she hopes. Assuming this isn't Andy Kaufmanesque performance art - I'm still 50/50 on that theory.

10. I am totally convinced she is a liberal Democrat who voted 2x for Obama.

Don't you get it? It's a stunt, like something Andy Kaufman would pull.

She pretends to be a teabagger to make them look like cementheaded Neanderthals and siphon off votes from people who are turned off by this loony rhetoric.

She's BRILLIANT!! Really, after watching that video do you think anybody is that TOTALLY STOOPID?

Let's hear it for our secret Democratic mole!

There is a thought out there that Ann Coulter went right wing for the money, that really she is a liberal. I tend to doubt it but she would not be the first like that so I give that idea a 5/10% chance.

Not Ms, Jackson, she should be in an asylum, no sane person could be so far off base.

One real question is would all this off base lunatic vitriol spewing be there if Obama were not black - well half black in reality.

13. Communist Party USA endorsed

Obama for president - that part is true. The question is whether today's communist party is leftist in any true sense of the word. Also, she confuses communism with fascism but I'm not sure she's capable of understanding the different political systems. I sure wouldn't want to be the one to try to explain it to her.
