Wow, Ann Coulter has truly lost touch with reality...
Our local newspaper started running her "column" in this Sunday's newspaper. I normally avoid anything with her name on it, but my husband said I really should read it.

Its a diatribe about how mean all those liberals are to Tom Delay and Mr. Bolton because neither of them have committed a crime, but are simply being persecuted (that's the nutshell version). Oh, and the obligatory "Clinton was bad" sentence.

So, I'm starting to think that some nice men in white coats should take Ann to a nice, soft room where she can't hurt herself!

Of course, my husband thinks that people will read this and begin to see the RW for what it is.

Sadly, he has more faith in people's intelligence than I do.

Bettie.

1. Waaaaaahhhh, the big bad liberals are persecuting us.
When will people wake up and realize that Repubs are the party of whiners with a victim complex?

Be prepared to offer your husband sympathy, because the average American ability for cognitive functioning is diminishing rapidly.

2. Well, going by their logic,
It's BECAUSE they haven't been convicted of anything or "committed a crime" that they must be investigated. That's how the Starr Chamber operated, and as one of "Santa's Elves," Coltface should know this.

3. Ann Coulter is bitter because ..
..she is in her mid forties and still single/never married. I mean who will marry her ? The few that do consider, flee after finding out she has a small penis.

And of course she blames the liberals for it.

31. Yeah but..
..being a conservative as she claims to be, I thought one of her life's goal would be to get married and have children. After all the "family" is one of the prime focus of conservatism, isn't it ?
But instead she finds herself as one of the Sex-And-The-City characters, a 40 something single woman living in Manhattan..and very very bitter. Unless her whole act is just a charade.

38. I always figured she hated Clinton so much because...
...he turned her down.

If I was a man, I'd stay far, far away from that skank.

4. It is an act .......
...... the more P.O.ed you get the more $ she makes. I bet she
doesn't buy 1/2 the crap she says. The sad thing is some people
do believe her and form opinions around what she spews. Both
her and rush drop that they are entertainers there by negating any
need for real facts.

she is small potatoes if she is ignored.

I wonder if the voices in her head are as bad and vile-filled as the one that we hear when she speaks?

13. Oh wow, you just brought an interesting thought...
What if DU'ers suddenly stopped discussing Coltface, Malkintent, Ingrat, O'Lielly, Short Weiner, Limpballs and the rest of La Consoviet Nostra? Could they really deal with the rejection (so to speak)?

15. 'what benefits it you if you gain whole world yet lose your soul'
xians will recognise the passage...anus coulter reminds me of susan atkins (of manson fame) who it was said that she looked like 'if she ever started screaming, she would never stop'

5. in barnes and noble, anti democratic boks behind me
my 12 yr old niece and 7 yr old son started reading titles. told them, all that is garbage. niece said the ann coulter book. i told them, she is the worst. a 50 something yr old woman popped her head around and told my children, she is truthful and smart, that they/we need to listen to what she has to say

my mouth dropped

kids just standing looking at this woman

woman walks off i say, she is the biggest liar of em all

what surprised me the most, not this woman teaching my children garbage, but that someone actually took coulter seriously

so tell your husband, nope, people dont see thru, they embrace

Edited on Sun May-08-05 11:06 AM by Cleita
I would have told her she had no business contradicting what I say to my children in front of them. And for her information Ann Coulter is the biggest lying and demented Nazi of them all. How dare she say that she tells the truth.

I think her actions were out of line.

22. but but but........lol lol i always speak up
and that was going to be exactly one of my points, what kind of family value is that contradicting me the parent, not to mention teaching my children a lie, and lets pull the book see if we can find a single truth in it

but all this came thru brain, after i shut my mouth again, lollol. and she was long gone. darted outta store. i wandered the store to see if i could find her, but she had already left. sat thinking about her for about a day, and all i didnt say

was surprised though, totally. that anyone could say coulter was honest

8. perhaps you would contact your local paper to let them know
how you and your husband feel about ms coulter. it is important to voice our opinion - in a respectful way - when people like her are given a platform to spread hatred

10. Yes! Do!
Our local paper ran her column for about a month. They received so many letters and comments from people who hated her vitriol that they canceled it. And this is in a red area!

Complain, complain, complain. It's effective.

34. It's all right--it was just in her head, you see.
Edited on Mon May-09-05 12:39 PM by kenny blankenship
As the adults gathered on the back porch talking of sports, the weather and the recent layoffs down at the mill, young Ann drew apart to engage in mortal combat with her inner demons, as she always did whenever company, or relatives, the traveling minister or the man from Child Protective Services was visiting.

"TAKE THAT, HELLO-KITTY ! See you IN HELL, TINK! " young Annie would scream. "I killed YOU Sponge Bob, over and over--WHY WON'T YOU STAY DEAD!!!"

It was around this time that she began to be known as "outspoken" and a "heroic fighter against the liberal nanny state". Well actually, to be fully candid, there was a long spell in between these years and her current conservative fame, during which time gangly, bugeyed Ann was displayed as a sideshow freak. There was a lot of travel with only a little money. Lots of motel rooms, lots of dishes to wash in diner kitchens, lots of dirty gas station bathrooms and forced unpleasant encounters with grubby strangers in exchange for bus fare to her next engagement. She was in fact thrown out of several travelling carnivals, and had to act as her own management after a series of impresarios abandoned her. But now that the local girl has made good--far beyond anyone's expectations down at the general store--we like to say that it all began with these hazy summer evenings, when Ann would scream bloody murder and blast away at phantom assailants thronging invisibly in the backyard, and her family and guests would pretend not to hear.

11. Ann nutshelled
Aside from the hideous quotes of note, and her getting canned by a con magazine..

This is a woman, who when put on the cover of TIME, and given national exposure the likes of with she'd never known before, complained about how the eveel liberals made her LOOK.

Shallow, superficial, thoroughly predictable. The Queen of Strawman Hackery.

profitable niche and is playing for all its worth.

18. Well, she is pretty damn skinny
Maybe she is bulimic. In fact, maybe she had a heart attack because if lack of potassium and became brain dead. But, unlike the person this story is based on, she was revived back to a conscious state by paramedics. But, years later now, most of her brain has decomposed into spinal fluid. I thinks we need to have someone look into this theory.

Do you have an Internet link to your local paper? I'd like to read her latest foray into psychosis...If only for a good Mother's Day laugh....

23. We get the print version and I can't find Coulter in the online
I'm not sure why, but it seems to only have a small portion of the content of the print version.

Sorry!

24. Thanks everyone for responding!
You've all made great points and made me feel less alone in the Iowa Wilderness!

While I was looking for a link to crazy-ann's column, I shot off a LTTE pointing out that she's not really part of the reality based community and even Cal Thomas (who I detest) is marginally more palatable than she is.

On the plus side, they still have Molly Ivens.

33. Yeah, When was she ever really touching reality?
Ann Coulter is so far out of the political spectrum, hell she makes Rush Limbaugh look like a moderate most of the time. At least he was a pill popper, definately knocked him off his high horse.

I rate Coulter right up there with O'Reilly, full of shit.

Hate sells and you have to go pretty far to top the likes of the Savage Weiner and Rush Limbaugh.

I doubt that even she believes what she says.

26. Coulter gets $20,000 a pop for speaking engagements
She claims to be a consitutional scholar, yet her only professional experience has been as a protegy of Barbara Olsen and acting as escort for Paula Jones.

Coulter is banking big bucks and the naive College Republicans guys are buying into her like the horney dogs looking for the bitch in heat.

How come you never see the female College Republicans at these Animal House parties????

25. Personally I think she should have a four hour talk show
starring only her every single day, seven days a week, picked up by three networks. In prime time.

It should just be an open format for her to talk about whatever's on her mind. The producers of the show would do well NOT to remind her of the pesky FCC and just let her be free to speak her disease-addled hate-filled little mind.

I think it'd be the best thing that ever happened to the left.

GO ANN! GO FOR YOUR OWN SHOW!

29. Does Ann Coulter have Graves' Disease?
The other night I posted about Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks having the signs of hyperthyroid according to the author of a popular book on Thyroid disease who has a website on thyroid disorders.

http://thyroid.about.com/od/newscontroversies/a/runawaybride.htm

That got me to thinking about Ann Coulter. She's also really skinny, has a big Adam's apple, is moody, irrational, and hypersexual (she admits that she sleeps around, and even brags about it). I don't know about the bug-eyed psychotic look but I'm sure *somebody* could find a photo.

Maybe all we need to neuter the evil Ann is some radioactive iodine. Any volunteers? How about a group intervention? :evilgrin:

32. Or maybe she just has the small penis syndrome
Ann has a complex thats rooted in her small penis..she never quite expected to measure just 1.5" !

From her lifestyle that you described, she seems just the kind of woman that Phyllis Schlafly would want every American woman to be.

My wife and I are doing some house hunting and I passed on the one really nice house we've seen so far because it is located in a subdivision called...Coulter Bay.

I just couldn't live with myself.

Imagine running into her every week before you've finished your coffee.

Argh. It was bad enough seeing those giant cutouts of her in the window of Borders when her book came out. I had to cover my eyes and scoot by.
