A. Coulter said soldiers in Iraq are "getting their hair mussed."

[alcuno]

Did anyone hear this fool on an MSNBC show called Saturday Final? She likened what soldiers are going through in Iraq to getting their hair mussed.

[Best_man23]

1. Well

Annthrax Coulter(†) should find out first hand by going over there as an embedded reporter. When they issue her body armor and a helmet for REMF reporting, maybe she might sing a different tune.

Remember Windows Users = Alt + 0134 on your keypads for the Coulter dagger †

[donco6]

3. Ever try wrapping body armour around a toothpick?

Hee hee.

Years from now, they'd find her mummified body in the desert. Scratched into the surrounding rock, with remnants of broken false fingernails, would be the words, "Damn the Dems."

Oh, and they'd find out she was a man.

[Kbowe]

80. Be sure to let the troops know that she said this....

Contact the bloggers.

[TrogL]

81. actually, that sounds kinky

she'd probably get off on it

[sistersofmercy]

2. Oh I agee, let's send her to entertain the troops!

[Philosophy]

49. The could use her for target practice

But if she turned sideways they probably couldn't hit her.

[Karenina]

51. I do not find her at all entertaining

and am horrified that she still dares to show her face in public without fear of being mobbed by an angry crowd. She's been on my ignore list and I rarely click on threads pertaining to her. However, this is MUCH TOO FAR over the top. American families are being rent asunder by the *clusterfuck in which the country is now engaged. UNTOLD numbers of servicepeople are being killed, permanently maimed, poisoned, driven to insanity or suicide, denied healthcare, benefits or even the slightest recognition of their sacrifices. Their families and communities are being devastated. "Hair mussed???" This is so far beyond APPALLING.

From "Blinded By the Right" pg.181:

"Ann seemed to live on nothing but chardonnay and cigarettes- (We vented) our anger and cruelty by hurling all manner of epithets and insults at liberals and the disadvantaged among us... She eventually left her job as a commentator on MSNBC after telling a disabled Vietnam vet in a debate, 'People like you caused us to lose the war.'"

SO. Your family members are getting shot at in Iraq, without clean water to bathe in or drink, NO FRESH FOOD, being fucked up the ass by *privatized military support services and this wench gets on the airwaves saying they are HAVING THEIR HAIR MUSSED???

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUZ, AMERICA????

[beanball]

74. d,anny the entertainer

what will she do for the troops? hey guys line up Annie is here and she is all puckered up.Where is ths big dawg?

[Changenow]

4. She and her boyfriend have

been going around crediting Ashcroft with the absence of terror attacks since 9/11. Once again they have forgotten terrorism continues but not on us soil. What is really incomprehensible is how these folks would react if right wing white men were rounded up without probable cause because Tim McVeigh looked and acted like them. They also apparently don’t know that the pattern of these terrorists is to wait years between attacks so that the victims will let their guard down.

[SayitAintSo]

85. Who's her boyfriend ?

Gotta know !

[alcuno]

88. Matt Drudge

I think.

6. It would be poetic justice if the "Hair mussers"

were directed towards Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc.

7. apparently they're reenlisting over there too

"One hundred and fifty-eight soldiers reenlisted on July 4th, 2003 at Saddam's Palace in Mosul, Iraq."

If the Republicans want to continue making her the spokesperson for their party, I say go ahead. :)

I clicked NO.

But if there is an alternative explanation for a layperson like myself, I want to hear it, lol.

[diamondsoul]

21. lol It's just the site where LL's avatar

is housed. Military emblem from an Army site, and apparently they need to update their security certificate. It's not a Rovian spy, I promise!

[Coffee Coyote]

26. LOL

Ok. I have NEVER had one come up, and when I saw the source... :o

Naw, I have always said Rove is too busy meeting with FauxNews to bother with us, but that doesn't mean some disgruntled Army techie in a dank office somewhere isn't idly perusing this site for his or her own jollies. :-)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

27. Oh. Then LoneLiberal please

change yer avatar or something cuz it
happens clicking on the thread, posting and

Something about a French leave?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

47. Every one is looking for me.

Because I am me. Look at me. Think about me.
Can you help but admire my muscular smile and my
glistening physiuqe? I have saved the DU by
crushing an attack from an unknown certificate
just as I will crush the white grape Gray
Davis and save California from a unknown
fate and all those things.

[Generic Other]

54. You are going to be craving Dos XX after the pummeling

you are going to get. And some Jagermeister.

Just why are you on an Ann Coulter thread anyway? You really go for the bone. Just like Popeye and Brutus.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

94. My good friend Ann Coulter is a stoned fox

that a lot of guys and gals on DU like to get
close to her fire but can not say. I get hundreds
of PMs daily on how cute she is and how she bats
her fake eyelashes and gulps and grins and bobs
her head like she bobing for an apple but they can't say.
No Olive Oil ai'nt got nothing on Ann Coulter.
Thin is in and so forth. If she was a Democrat
everybody here would be going Gosh What a cute little
gal she is, bating her eyelashes and so forth.
I know I get a woodey watching her on
there gulping and grining and she's actually a
distant cousin of mine and I'm not too stupid
to bopp her if I ever got a chance. Boney is in
like Flinn. You need to be able to flip a gal
around and twirl her and carry her from room
to room if you want to go get a beef jerky or
so forth without stoping intercourse. I don't
know if you notice but I have started to get
a little flab flaping in my tricep region from
not working out like I should so thats why I
like em boneyer these days. But if you knew Ann
like I do you would know she's a pussycat that loves
guns and drugs and indiscrimnate orgies with anything that
not nail down just like any regular red blood American
guy. There's lots of DUrs that if they turned over
and find Ann in bed with them they would
not kick her out. Once you get past her sort of
sheep BO and cigrette and Walgreens Whiskey breath
and moldy wignet and the blood caked under her
fingernails you could have a hell of good time.

[donco6]

69. Arnie, you make me laugh.

The "white grape of Grey Davis" hahahahaha

[JitterbugPerfume]

13. what a sad life she leads

no joy

no forgiviness

no hope of redemption

she is the ugliest person I have ever known

[diamondsoul]

14. It's from LoneLiberal's avatar

Nothing to worry about.

[Dogmeat]

15. I got the same thing.

I just clicked "No" when it asked me if I want to proceed.

[VolcanoJen]

16. Me too!! Me too!!

WTF?

:tinfoilhat:

I clicked NO on that sonofabeotch as well...

[robbedvoter]

17. Same here. It's just Coultergeist.

[theHandpuppet]

18. Me, too! WTF?

What the hell is that all about?!!

[Patriot_Spear]

20. Me too...

The certificate says it was issued by someone named Ray Wilson... this is kind of odd.

[cmd]

23. Me too

Whoever's doing it - have fun - but you won't last long around here.

[kathee]

24. I got it too

wtf??

I wish that bitch could have been in the lil bar with the soldiers last night. I sat and listened to some poor guy talk about how he lost his best friend, and how most everyone he knows is getting the hell outta the military as soon as their time's up.

Those guys would have tore her a new one.

[EarlG]

30. I fixed it

The Lone Liberal was linking to an image on a .mil domain (it wasn't the avatar) and the security certificate on that site was out of date - it's nothing to do with DU, and nothing to worry about. I just removed the image from LL's post to prevent the pop-up from happening again.

Thanks,
EG

[A-Schwarzenegger]

31. Well, I'm disappointed.

I prefer the invigoration of hysterical paranoia.

[VolcanoJen]

36. Well, poop.

I thought I looked pretty sexy in my new hat.

:tinfoilhat:

;-)
Thanks, Earl!

[hadrons]

19. well, two more soldiers just got their hair mussed in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. troops were killed Sunday in a clash with guerrilla fighters northwest of Shkin in Afghanistan (news - web sites), the U.S. military said.



The military's Central Command said in a statement that the two were among three American soldiers wounded in the clash in Paktia Province. The three were evacuated to a medical facility where two of them later died and one remained in stable condition.


http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030831/ts_nm/afghan_usa_soldiers_dc

[leetrisck]

41. "Smut Slut" Coulter

should have to go to Dover, DE when the bodies are brought home. This nut case shouldn't even be allowed to mention the word soldier. Had just heard about the Afghanistan dead and then I read about the "smut slut" and her remarks. She is not fit for humankind.

[Clete]

25. Ann Coulter is the premier Nazi spokesperson for

the PNAC. I have noticed many conservative, Republicans are visibly embarassed when someone quotes her to them and they try to change the subject quickly or dismiss her opinion as not being that of the mainstream conservatives of the Republican party. I think Ann Thrax Coulter is joining Pat Buchanan and Bob Dornan as persona non grata of the GOP and it is becoming apparent that they wish she'd go away.

She is only the darling of guys like Scarborough these days.

[AntiCoup2K4]

58. Scarborough likes her? That could be good news......

....maybe she'll turn up dead on the MSRNC set??

[nomaco-10]

32. Who was interviewing her and why was she.....

allowed to get by with a remark like that? Somebody get a link and let's bombard MSGOP with e-mails. I'm sick of her getting by with this crap. If we raised enough hell, maybe they'd quit having her on.

[alcuno]

38. Lawrence O'Donnell is the host of this show

There were also two other guests who jumped on her for comparing the conditions of soldiers in Iraq to having your hair mussed. I'm sure there are links on the MSNBC website.

http://msnbc.com

[nomaco-10]

40. Thanks, alcuno. I'm about to dash off an e-mail now. NT

[redwitch]

53. Thank you

I just sent them my 2 cents. She is a fool.

[ldf]

33. i hope that all the soldier's families

hear what miss ann, and the republicans she represents, thinks about the fate of their sons and daughters.

[ClintonTyree]

34. This vile, repugnant.....................

poor excuse for a human being should, in the words of Bill O'Reilly, "Shut up, just shut up". Ann Coulter is an idiot.

[Wickster]

35. Yes, I heard her!

I don't usually watch anything that she is on because she is so outrageously hyperbolized, but there were two more liberal viewpoints opposite her and the host, so I figured what the heck.

She was coming to us live from East Hampton. The host actually told her that there were more Republicans in South Hampton and there was a momentary look of panic that crossed her face (like, oh shit, am I in a liberal place?).

She said things like: oh, poor babies they want to come home - they don't have air-conditioning (in this whiney-ass, sarcastic voice). When repeatedly reminded that they were dying - heck (I think it was Penn) started shouting at her - they are dying! dying!-- she shrugged it off.

At that moment I could think of no better fate for her and people like her to be handed fatigues, a helmet, a rifle, a one way plane ticket to Baghdad or Afghanistan with the admonition to "don't get your hair mussed." SHE is a national embarrassment and her callous attitude is scandalous. :puke:

[nomaco-10]

37. If I weren't a lady ......

I'd take my big fat, sprawling, sububan ass all the way up the East Hampton's and kick her scrawny, skanky, syphllitic butt.

[Wickster]

45. Don't let that stop you!

But bring a film crew - I want to see it happen!
:D

[efhmc]

48. Now that is A GREAT PLAN. I am willing to fly a long distance to see that.

[Athletic Grrl]

55. I'd be happy to join in.

Except I'm afraid I'd come away with some nasty disease if I touched her without some sort of protection. :scared:

Thankfully, skank-ho isn't communicable.

[spanone]

39. Maybe she should help comb every corpse that comes home

[opihimoimoi]

44. Ann the word slut??? She is a waste of rice and poi. should never have

made it to where she is, never. Only a devious plot would allow her presence in a society like ours, Its supposed to be a GOOD SOCIETY like how JOHN KENNTH GALBRAITH describes in his book of like name.

Ann C not supposed to exist. She and all her peers should not be there. Balance?? fuck that logic, we supposed to have balance with cancer? Gimme a break. Yup, I said it, The Opi went and said it, She, Sean, Rash, etc, are cancers on our society. Their warped logic indicates a collective cancer that is unprecedented.

A CANCER is in charge of a NUKE. OMG. MANY NUKES, 36470019817129282567202873541.008 X OMG. This is worse than previously thought.

Come, we get drunk, maybe this iz a nightmare.

[Generic Other]

43. Reminds me of Tokyo Rose (Ikuko Tagari)

During WWII, she broadcast messages to American soldiers under the name Little Orphan Annie. She was the 7th person to be convicted of treason in the US. She got 10 years in jail and served 6. She was pardoned by Gerald Ford. Here's a sample of her work:

"Your favorite enemy Ann," or "Your favorite playmate and enemy, Ann." Following are comments reportedly made by Toguri for a program broadcast in October 1944: "Hello, boneheads. This is your favorite enemy, Ann. How are all you orphans of the Pacific? Are you enjoying yourselves while your wives and sweethearts are running around with the 4F's in the States? How do you feel now when all your ships have been sunk by the Japanese Navy? How will you get home? Here's another record to remind you of home."

http://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/famcases/rose/rose.htm


Now tell me Tokyo Rose's tone was any different than Ms. Coulter's is today. This woman is pretty low. The troops don't deserve to be treated like this especially by the very ones who clamored to send them into harm's way in the first place. They are demoralized and placed into greater danger by statements like hers and Bush's "Bring 'em on."

[tabasco]

46. This infantry vet says "go to hell, bitch!"

Tell that to the mothers of the dead you evil republican scum.

[frustrated_lefty]

52. Ann is demonspawn.

I posted something here recently which was deleted by a mod, so I'll modify it to remove the offensive content:

Ann Coulter- she’s an attractive enough woman until she opens her mouth and you’re forced to recall the 60’s and 70’s films in which adorable little girl children with dimples arrange the murder of virtually everyone around them. This is what I am reminded of upon seeing Mrs. Coulter’s face, and I have to wonder what foul pit of hell expunged her from its bowels to penalize the world. Depending upon the day of the week, I am convinced she is a representative sent by the republican oligarchy to spew forth venom until all recede by necessity from her poison, or, alternatively, she is the single white woman most desperately in need of an orgasm in all of history.

This foul creature posing as a woman speaks with longing of the McCarthy era, the good ole days when you could call somebody “unpatriotic” and thereby destroy their lives, whether or not there there was any evidence to support the claim aside from political affiliation. This woman claims that liberals are “traitors” for being uppity enough to question the actions of what is supposed to be their representative government.

But, her heart goes “pitter-pat” at the sight of our current president appearing in an aviator’s uniform, despite the fact that he used family connections to evade serving in VietNam and subsequently went AWOL, failing to satisfactorily complete his National Guard service. On days when I recall this, I am indeed forced to conclude she is the single woman most desperately in need of an orgasm in all of history. At the very least, perhaps she wouldn’t be so shrill if she were to “let off some steam.”

For this reason, I propose the following: we hold a “Help Ann Coulters Get Off” drive. People with the financial means, please send Mrs. Coulters a “<deleted: name-brand vibrator>,” available through <deleted: url>. The url for this purchase is <deleted: url> and will cost <deleted: price>. Send your purchase to:

Ann Coulter
<deleted: address>

In these cash-strapped times, any request for funding is hard to make, but I ask you to do this for your country. If Ann doesn't get off, there's no telling what she'll say next.

[snippy]

100. Good suggestion. Reminds me of this Salon article.

Ann of a thousand lays

Ten modest proposals to help Ann Coulter get a date.
. . .

1) Quit injecting yourself with your own urine.
. . .

5) Stop being a mean bitch.
. . .

8) Buy a vibrator.

In addition to all your other problems, I think you need to rack up some quick orgasms. . . .

Once you've cleared your system of all the toxins that back up when you stop getting off, you should immediately ...

9) Get your head out of your ass.
. . .

http://www.salon.com/media/feature/1999/06/25/coulter/print.html

[JackDragna]

50. Yeah. Getting your hair mussed.

..which is why soldier relatives of friends of mine talk about how the situation is like Vietnam over there, how casualties are being hidden from the media, how they have little decent food and water and how foreigners are coming over to the world's biggest American shooting gallery. Your hair does indeed get mussed if it gets shot off.

[Hailtothechimp]

56. I would have missed it but Penn Gillette started whaling on her

It was great.

[nomaco-10]

57. I wrote MSNBC an e-mail...

I don't know how to copy it from my sent items, but the gist of it was, "Why do you keep having this vile media whore in your line up"? I used the adjectives; shocking, appalling piece of crap you ran on saturday... added; no wonder so many have turned back to CNN and the internet as a news source. Ended with you have compromised informative journalism for shock TV, Shame on you! I think they got the message.

[devarsi]

59. I think Coulter is a Dem plant

She does more for the left than she does for the right, ultimately.

Truly, if Ann Coulter didn't exist, we would have to make her up. I hope she goes on and on and on, spewing her ridiculous hate. She is such an easy target....

[oldcoot]

68. Will they know she is a conservative?

Unfortunately or fortunately, I did not see this show and do not know how long Ann was allowed to spew her garbage. My only fear is that viewers might assume that she is liberal because of the common but erroneous belief that the media is liberal. I hope that the host introduced her as a conservative and listed the books she has written.

[alcuno]

70. Fortunately, everyone was identified.

The liberal and the libertarian really let her have it.

[maveric]

60. Is she saying that Jessica Lynch only got her hair mussed?

HMMM...
With Jessica being a war hero and all that and the subject of the next "Missing in Action" flick with Chuck Norris.

What a fucking idiot she is. I cant beleive that she can get out there and say the stupid shit and lies that she regularly does with a straight face.

She has no soul! Fits right in with the GOPers.

[Ein]

61. I'd like to 'muss' her hair.

*wink*

[ProudGerman]

63. Not me

I'd like to crack her skull wide open with a piece of rusty re-bar.

[Ein]

66. I didn't mean it in a sexual sense.

I meant it in the sense she used it. And I agree with you.

[alcuno]

67. Don't panic. That's what I thought you meant.

I wonder if right-wingers find her attractive?

[John_Shadows_1]

62. You've got to see it for what it is...

... class ideology. We have a bunch of children of privilege leading the lower socio-economic strata into danger. People like Coulter or Bush have never had to sacrifice a damn thing, so they don't understand what it's like to see one of your friends killed, or to stand in 120 degree heat in battle-dress all day, among a hostile populace.

Look at the other things they advocate:
(1) eliminating the earned income tax credit - which originated to counter the devastating effect payroll taxes can have on low-incomer earners.
(2) they want to eliminate time-and-a-half for overtime workers:

http://money.cnn.com/2003/06/26/news/economy/epi/index.htm

The government is being run by an ideologically-driven group of the rich, many of whom (Like the entire Bush family and Dick Cheney at Halliburton) actually used the government to enrich themselves. Hypocrites, aristocrats, assholes.

[Clete]

64. Don't forget the word that includes all of those, "thieves".

eom

[alcuno]

65. Welcome to DU, John Shadows. Happy Labor Day

I believe that they did change the current overtime rules. Wait until people find out.

[spooky3]

79. I think you're too kind.

In my opinion, this is a person who has no useful talent or skill; therefore, her objective is to say something that will get attention so that people will buy her product, which is basically herself. Since she has no empirical research to offer, no success at any endeavor to share, nothing insightful or poetic to say, and the facts do not support her opinions (as deftly demonstrated by Al Franken), the only way she can get attention is to say something outrageous. Then, the media whores who are always looking for something that will attract channel surfing numbskulls, to pump up their demographics for the advertisers, will be only too happy to bring her in. If she looked like an average middle age or older woman, the boys running the stations (sorry, but I believe this is true) would have no interest.

Punching her out even figuratively is the reaction she wants because there is no such thing as bad publicity for a person like her. The best thing to do is put her on the defensive (sorry to say this but I think Tweety did this effectively when interviewing her about her silly book) or better, ignore her.

[fizzana]

71. She should go tell that to the soldiers lying in Walter Reed

Hospital facing the rest of their lives with one or more limbs missing.

[RapidCreek]

72. I just don't understand why no one has...

Gotten up out of thier chair and knocked her teeth down her throat. It is, after all, the methodology for solving the worlds ills which she so staunchly advocates. I've never in my life struck a woman...and outside of work, I've never struck a man....this psychopathic freak needs a wake up call, however. I've no doubt she would press charges and attempt to sue....My defense? What are you whining about Anney, mussed up hair?

pulled this she man out of the lineup and planted her on tand v so her mouth could run a mile a minute on hate and unamericans subjects , is this she man self made or did someone pull her out of the wood pile to speak for the right , i have never heard of this women until jr. stole the election

75. Coulter Appeared During Clinton's Trials

with the book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton.

Before that, I believe her only claim to fame is having her picture taken next to Reagan. Whoop.

[alcuno]

77. Can you imagine Democrats saying something like this?

They'd be run off the air on a rail and Ann would call them traitors. Instead, conservatives get to say just about anything and continue to be booked on these shows.

[RobertFrancisK]

78. Does she think she's General Turginson?

What a cold bitch. I just want to cry when I hear about the poor families losing their young sons, and a whore like her has the insulence to blow lost American lives off?!? Where does she get the balls?






"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks."

83. I've never seen that movie.

Apparently Ann has.

[RobertFrancisK]

92. Very very good movie

I'd highly recommend checking it out.

[JohnKleeb]

82. shes so out of touch

[donco6]

84. Here's another name for her - Axis Sally

I think Ann's been reincarnated:

>Although she referred to herself as "Midge at the mike," GIs dubbed her Axis Sally. Her broadcasts were heard all over Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the United States from December 11, 1941, through May 6, 1945. Although most of her programs were broadcast from Berlin, some were aired from Chartres and Paris in France and from Hilversum in the Netherlands.

>Once the war was over, her broadcasts would come back to haunt her. At a listening post operated by the Federal Communications Commission in Silver Hill, Md., all her programs had been monitored and recorded and would provide the prosecution with damaging evidence at her trial. The prosecution charged that her broadcasts were sugarcoated propaganda pills aimed at convincing U.S. soldiers that they were fighting on the wrong side.

>Most GIs agreed that Gillars had a sultry, sexy voice that came over the radio loud and clear. Like her counterpart in the Pacific, Tokyo Rose, she liked to tease and taunt the soldiers about their wives and sweethearts back in the States. "Hi fellows," she would say. "I'm afraid you're yearning plenty for someone else. But I just wonder if she isn't running around with the 4-Fs way back home."

>She would get the names, serial numbers and hometowns of captured and wounded GIs and voice concern about what would happen to them, in broadcasts that could be heard in the United States. "Well I suppose he'll get along all right," she would say. "The doctors don't seem... I don't know... only time will tell, you see." At sign-off time she would tease her listeners some more, telling them, "I've got a heavy date waiting for me."

>Perhaps Sally's most famous broadcast, and the one that would eventually get her convicted of treason, was a play titled Vision of Invasion that went out over the airwaves on May 11, 1944. It was beamed to American troops in England awaiting the D-Day invasion of Normandy, as well as to the home folks in America. Gillars played the role of an American mother who dreamed that her soldier son, a member of the invasion forces, died aboard a burning ship in the attempt to cross the English Channel. The play had a realistic quality to it, sound effects simulating the moans and cries of the wounded as they were raked with gunfire from the beaches. Over the battle action sound effects, an announcer's voice intoned, "The D of D-Day stands for doom... disaster... death... defeat... Dunkerque or Dieppe." Adelbert Houben, a high official of the German Broadcasting Service, would testify at Axis Sally's trial that her broadcast was intended to prevent the invasion by frightening the Americans with grisly forecasts of staggering casualties.

86. Hey, just a thought...

Has anyone thought to email this info to Col Hackworth?

I'd bet he would love to hear what Annie has to say....

I would prefer that somebody who actually saw the show send the e-mail because I don't want to misrepresent what she said. From this thread, her own words are damning enough.

here's the link:

87. I'll send him an email.

There is not yet a transcript of the show.
