Ann Coulter: a Jackboot in Guccis



Like European Fascists, Right-Wing US Pundits Oppose All Immigration
Ann Coulter: a Jackboot in Guccis

by BEN NORTON


The mainstream US Right long ago crossed the point from right-wing to extreme far-right. Mainstream conservatives now oppose not just undocumented immigration, but immigration overall.

Popular right-wing US pundits like Ann Coulter are now saying all immigrants are bad. This is a fundamental tenet of fascist ideology. The US Right is moving toward fascism. Not just “fascism” as in the derogatory term some leftists are wont to sling at reactionaries—literal fascism.

Point 8 of the Nazi party’s program was

Any further immigration of non-Germans must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who have entered Germany since August 2, 1914, shall be compelled to leave the Reich immediately.


Italy’s neo-facist CasaPound party, which openly admires Mussolini and the Italian fascists, insists “We want to stop it (immigration).”

CasaPound is joined by a wave of neo-fascist parties in Europe that, like Coulter, openly oppose immigration of Muslims and people of color, regardless of legal status. ......................(more)

I'm beginning to wonder about An Coulter's basic mental health. I would expect even the most fervent xenophobe to be in favor of allowing certain categories of immigrants, based on race, ethnicity, religion, education, wealth, job skills, etc. I mean, what kind of person would advocate keeping out "people like me?"

She claims to love Joe McCARTHY. I say "claims," because who knows if these attention cravers are just doing/saying things for money grubbing. In "Blinded by the Right" David BROCK says she subsists on wine and cigarettes. I wonder what her and Bill MAHER's trysting was like, giggling over their performance art? But I don't want to give her credit for not believing the crap she emits.

There is no way that she can continue to spew the rubbish she does without having fervent belief that it is true.

If not, we are in big trouble. If so, we are still in big trouble.

Plus, she ought to eat a fucking sandwich once in a while. (Thank you, Rebecca Watson.)

Coulter is evil incarnate.

This is a sad cry for attention. No one is paying attention to Coultergist and she is upset
