Coulter just canceled her appearance on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now"

[VolcanoJen]

They've been disgustingly promoting the bigot's appearance on CNN all day long.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200703050003

But Paula Zahn just started her show, and said that Ann Coulter had first approached CNN to do her interview, CNN, agreed, and then Coulter canceled.

[malaise]

1. She forgot there was a

full moon.

[VolcanoJen]

7. In the words of her pal Michelle Malkin...

... Coulter's a chickenshit.

:-)

22. God, those clips are the BEST! have you started any threads on them,

especially the one with her flipping out with Max Blumenthal, and RUNNING AWAY from her book signing table?

I hope Olbermann runs that when he comes back.

Please start a thread with this tour of the CPAC convention:

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters?pid=171489

also on here, Horowitz, Coulter, and my favorite clip:

"Can we see your Confederate Flag lapel pin.....why are you covering it up?"

GOD, that is SOME video!

[VolcanoJen]

26. Classic!!!

I haven't been reading DU for a few days, but nobody's posted about Malkin's freak-out in the face of Max from The Nation?

The Confederate flag clip was excellent... plus the part with the Anti-Mitt Romney Flip-Flop Dolphin. They'll just never get over the flip-flop thing. I wonder how many dolphin costumes the RNC purchased in 2004, and what they went for on eBay.

[Gabi Hayes]

32. I've seen one thread mentioning it, but nothing since, and that was the first

video

can't thank you enough!

please start a thread on that

please!

[Little Wing]

15. hahahah

lol for real

[Gman]

2. Rake! Rake! Rake! Raking Anthrax

Over the coals!

[thepurpose]

3. Well I'm sure CNN will invite her back anytime. Her stock just went up by

with them by cancelling.

[adigal]

4. She is supposed to be on Hannity and Colmes this evening

I want to see her flip her blonde strawish hair, and blow this one off, as the advertisers all cancel their advertising on her website.

[AlCzervik]

5. of course, they all run right to Faux when they need cover.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. She'll be under Hannity's desk begging for forgiveness

[Little Wing]

18. more like begging for a second inch

;-)

[Breeze54]

53. with knee pads...

[Little Wing]

17. BACK TO THE MOTHERSHIP!

:D

[rasputin1952]

24. I remember the "Sean, SEAN...are you there?"

:D

[madrchsod]

6. paula is a better looking blonde and for a newsreader

she does have something of a brain..maybe annie did`t like the odds

[depakid]

8. Any outfit who has Coulter on to spew her vile lacks legitimacy

Yet another of the 999 reasons that CNN is programmed off of my TV.

[Lex]

10. Agreed. Why give these hateful nuts a national platform?

nt

[tblue]

11. I don't think it was A** who did the cancelling

[VolcanoJen]

12. According to Zahn....

... Coulter called and canceled just prior to air.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Oh, I bet it was.

CNN will do anything for ratings.

[tblue]

30. Yeah, you're probably right. Cabal News has no real principles.

[AlCzervik]

40. agreed, no way in hell cnn would have canceled her, nuh-uh.

[VolcanoJen]

41. Well, she blew off CNN and went right over to Hannity and Toad.

She just wrapped up that live segment.

Guess she had to choose between audiences.

[AlCzervik]

45. yup, right on over to the bunker--stat!

[BuyingThyme]

14. I've been ignoring this, but just saw a "report" or two.

Has any of the "reporting" referenced her previous incidents?

The ones I saw were in she-did-it-again style, but they didn't bother to reference any of the others among her greatest hits.

[VolcanoJen]

19. They've referenced a few of her most egregious offenses.

I've seen MSNBC and CNN today, and almost every time they've mentioned her slur against the 9/11 "Jersey Girls" widows.

While I commend them for doing so, I think CNN made a huge mistake agreeing to interview Coulter. Why reward bigotry with more blatant self-promotion? Condemn and ignore. Something they'll never do.

[BuyingThyme]

23. Geraldo Rivera used to make a living doing that.

[Vexatious Ape]

16. Ann approached CNN?

What a pathetic women. I think her job is to make Conservative politicians look reasonable by comparison.

[VolcanoJen]

20. I used to think that....

... but now I really think she's there to provide the "wink-wink nudge-nudge" to the bigots in the Republican closet.

The most telling thing was the applause the CPAC crowd gave her slur. Coulter isn't even extreme, as far as people like that are concerned.

[FormerDittoHead]

21. Maybe she's checking into rehab? I know, a sick twist of her OWN joke...! n/t

[AnnInLa]

25. John Aravosis, of AmericaBlog was supposed to be on tonight

too, did anyone notice if he's been on yet?? I just switched over, and don't know if his segment has been broadcast yet.

[babylonsister]

29. He wasn't advertised in the promo at the end of wolfie's show, nor was

Coultergeist. :shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

43. Aravosis was on CNN... blog entry here

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2007/03/aravosis-is-on-cnn-coulter-isnt-shes.html

Excerpt:

John is on Paula Zahn tonight. He'll be appearing throughout the hour. However, as John predicted, Coulter chickened out. Instead, she's appearing on the refuge of the right wing: Fox News. And, to top it off, she's going on Sean Hannity's show. Coulter will get some real tough questions over there, huh?

That Fox News where Ann Coulter feels so safe is also the Fox News that is hosting a Democratic candidates debate this summer in Nevada. Fox is a mouthpiece of the GOP and the right wing. And, if anyone had any doubt (not that anyone should), Ann Coulter's appearance there tonight confirms it.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. The chick on Paula Zahn representing the repukes was just pathetic.

She was there defending her friend Ann in front of awesome John Aravosis and some other guy who came across as very upset. She was so bad in apologizing for Ann that she had to pull out Jesse Jackson's "hymietown" slur from 20 years ago. LOL! I felt sorry for her.

[VolcanoJen]

31. So, was that John Aravosis?

I only have audio, and he was awesome... was it John? Others in this thread said he hadn't been on?

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Yes, that was him. He speaks real fast. :)

I didn't catch the other guy's name. He was good too. They just finished up the show and the repuke woman brought up Sen. Byrd's slur against poor white people. LOL! It's so hard for her to defend Coulter that she keeps bringing up what other people said.

[VolcanoJen]

34. They were BOTH incredible

More of this from our side, please!!!

[Poiuyt]

47. The other guy was some constitutional scholar

He was the one who was upset about the way we label our candidates: the black candidate, the woman candidate, the Morman candidate, etc.

[Crunchy Frog]

28. "Ann Coulter needs publicity like a tape worm needs a large intestine".

Rachel Maddow on Countdown just now. :rofl:

[lonestarnot]

35. How can a tape worm get tape worms?

Ask Coltergiest

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Coulter is on H&C right now.

And she's got two toadies (Hannity and Caddell) there defending her. :eyes:

[VolcanoJen]

38. So she *did* appear on Fox. But brushed off CNN.

Hannity and Toadie-Colmes defended her how, exactly?

[Catherine Vincent]

42. Well, I have no comment on that. We don't know for sure if Coulter

agreed to appear on CNN. Hannity and Pat Caddel, a democratic strategist :eyes: were finding excuses to defend their pal Ann. Colmes didn't criticize her much. I only watched about five minutes and then I switched. They were pathetic.

[Poiuyt]

48. Coulter had been scheduled to appear on CNN tonight for some time.

Before this past weekend. Aravosis was speculating this afternoon whether or not she'd have the courage to show up

[Warren DeMontague]

44. Lemme guess: "defending her" goes something like this---

Why, what is this country coming to, when you can't even make innocent jokes about f*****s, n*****s, k****s, or g***s, without the leftist elites jumping down your throat? :eyes:

[VolcanoJen]

46. Pretty much!!!

Saw the second segment, and Hannity said it's sooooo unfair, Anne's a journalist, she's not running for office, she has (airquotes) Freedom (/airquotes) of (airquotes) Speech. (/airquotes)

You know. She can say what she wants and liberals had best not criticize her for it.

Most illuminating in that segment were her Al Gore smears, which were blinded in the light of the John Edwards smear.

[Warren DeMontague]

49. Right. Meanwhile, when Moveon had people submit entries to a CONTEST that

compared Bush to Hitler, all of a sudden that was the end of the fucking world- and the personal responsibility of every Democrat then running for office.

Someone should dredge up what "free speech" Hannity had to say about that little fracas.

[kskiska]

37. Despite her bravado on H & C

she looks shaken. Maybe this is her last hurrah.

[VolcanoJen]

39. kskiska!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I've thought it was her last hurrah a long time ago, sadly. She'll say something even more outrageous in 5... 4... 3... 2...

[kskiska]

55. You're probably right

As long as she's got a platform on H&C, she'll likely continue. However - maybe it's my imagination - but there's a remote possibility that with the election looming, this could be reaching critical mass. She'll always have an audience for her screeds, though.

[Contrary1]

50. Her site is still down...

Ok, who is missing a silver spike?

[Madspirit]

51. Yes

It was back up for a little while but now is back down. They were cackling at what she said and fuming that people think she should apologize.
How I hate that bitch.
Lee

[Beausoir]

52. And......into rehab she goes. Maybe she will be cured of her hatefullness.

Kinda like Ted Haggard who got cured of his gayness.

[WolverineDG]

54. CUT & RUNNER! CUT & RUNNER!!

Oh wait, she's a rw hack. No surprise there. They're all cowards.
