Ann Coulter Rails Against ‘Speech Nazis’ at Trump Rally

Ann Coulter introduced Donald Trump at his rally in Iowa today, and she had a lot to say about their mutual favorite subject: immigration.

Coulter backed up Trump on the issue of deporting immigrants, even the ones with “anchor babies.” She mocked the liberal media for considering that a controversial statement and calling them “speech Nazis.”

She expressed her gratefulness to Trump that the media is actually talking about this issue and sanctuary cities and the border wall (“I love the idea of the Great Wall of Trump”), and declared, “I have not had this much hope for America since November 7th, 2012.”

She surmised that maybe it was destiny that Mitt Romney lost and the GOP betrayed the right on immigration “to pave the way for President Donald Trump.”

1. Coulter is a real life troll.

This has long been known.

[leftofcool]

2. Last week she was well liked on DU. What changed?

[joshcryer]

3. ROFL

[pampango]

4. Ann Coulter "well liked on DU"? I must have missed that. Perhaps she was merely awarded

the infamous "broken clock" award that seems to go to conservatives when one happens to agree with them on an issue.

[Hoppy]

16. It was somthin' about a broken clock.

[pampango]

18. I do hate when people insult broken clocks like that. Besides digital clocks may show no time when

they are broken. Younger folks may not understand the 'broken clock' analogy in the future.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Do you have a link for that? That must have been a hoot.

[leftofcool]

7. site search ann coulter and bernie sanders

[merrily]

11. Search did not turn up anything showing she was well liked on DU last week. But, you knew that.

[ismnotwasm]

8. Bahahahaha!

[jberryhill]

12. Well played

[GusBob]

26. Good one nt

[pampango]

6. "there is no effin' way Coulter is THIS batshit crazy". Crazy like a fox as they say.

You obviously still do not understand that it's those "illegals" and "anchor babies" that are the big issues of our time. If we can deal with those foreigner-based issues, our problems will be solved and our middle class will be healthy again.

No sir! No distraction and fear-mongering going on here.

[Stinky The Clown]

9. Her use of the word "Nazi" was not an accident

The very notion of expelling "illegals" smacks of the Nazi actions against Jews, Gypsies, gays, and others. Using the word in the way she dis deflects use of the word toward her and T Rump.

[leftofcool]

10. Isn't that her favorite buzz word?

[tularetom]

13. Hell, it's everybody's favorite buzz word

Disagree with somebody? Or just don't like them? Wanna marginalize them?

Pull out the ol' nazi analogy. Or just liken them to Hitler. Same difference.

I see it right here at DU on a fairly regular basis.

[pampango]

14. The Hitler analogy may indeed be overused but history should not be ignored either. n/t

[tularetom]

19. Problem is, overuse of the analogy trivializes the historical horrors

[pampango]

27. Hitler did not campaign in 1933 on a platform of concentration camps and genocide for Jews, gays,

Gypsies, etc. though he did identify them as the enemy of the 'real' German people as part of his RW populist appeal to voters.

Overuse of the analogy can happen but we should remember that the 'historical horrors' of Nazi Germany grew over time. Most, not all, of the concentration camps were opened after the start of WWII. They did not emerge full blast when he first came to power in 1933.

If DU had existed in 1933, some might have looked at Hitler as a blowhard, RW populist who identified imaginary enemies in order to get elected but few could possibly have predicted the degree of 'historical horrors' that he perpetrated. Of course, there have been many "blowhard, RW populists" since 1933 who have identified imaginary enemies in order to get elected, including at least one ambitious republican presidential candidate, but none of them turned into 'Hitler'.

Does that mean we should refrain from referencing Hitler every time a new 'blowhard, RW populist' emerges on the scene in a country? Perhaps it does since the odds that any of them will turn into another "Hitler" is extremely small. But it is not an open-and-shut case.

37. Sadly true

The Sesame Street word on the street is "hyperbole".

[Fred Sanders]

31. It is because you must accuse others of what you do...Propaganda 101, Chapter 1 straight from Goebbels.

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Of course she is...

It's her schtick, and she's milking it for all it's worth.

[rocktivity]

17. "Down, girl!"

"DOWN!!!"

20. It's one of 2 things -

either she's got another of her hate-mongering books coming out and needs the publicity or she's hedging her bets that Trump wins and wants to be press secretary. Either way, she's in it for herself and will say whatever is necessary.

[Adrahil]

22. Her book is already out....

It's "Adios America," an anti-immigration screed, which she wants to flog. Trump's positions promote her book quite nicely.

[Vinca]

25. Wow - got to hand it to her for good timing on that POS book.

[Adrahil]

21. She's a grifter... doing what grifters do: fleecing the marks. nt

[marmar]

23. A tired attention junkie who'd set herself on fire if it got her 5 more minutes on TV.

Like an obnoxious barking dog, she's best ignored.

[Captain Stern]

24. I think she's faking it too.

I think she pretty much always has been.

Her whole shtick through the years has been to say the 'crazy', 'outrageous', things that the republican politicians wouldn't dare say out loud.

Unfortunately for her, her act is drying up......because over the last few years, the republicans are saying those things out loud. It's getting where it's almost impossible for her to make up some ridiculous bullshit that the likes of Cruz, Bachmann, Gohmert, etc. wouldn't actually say for the record.

[newfie11]

28. Either she's getting paid to do this

Or she's insane and maybe both!

[Matrosov]

29. Same as Beck or Limbaugh

They say what they think the audience wants to hear. They're entertainers and not political analysts. Their audience is too dumb to figure it out however

I'd go so far as to say even Trump doesn't really believe half the insanity he says, but he knows there's a large part of the population that loves to hear that kind of insanity.

[brewens]

30. I've always thought she was acting. Just playing the half-wits and laughing all the way

to the bank.

[Rex]

32. How many times does it have to be said? Ann Coulter is a RL troll.

There are a lot of RL trolls that make their money by pissing off millions.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. WAY!!

[lpbk2713]

34. Controversy sells.

And any time she appears in public she's always in marketing mode.

[Javaman]

35. disingenious sociopath

who doesn't care whom she shills for or how she shills, as long as it gets her face time.

trying her best to keep her dying career alive.

[truebluegreen]

36. Howz a poor gal gonna make a living

if she doesn't make a splash?
