Guilty: Coulter's latest book filled with falsehoods

Media Matters for America has examined a copy of author and syndicated columnist Ann Coulter's new book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, which Media Matters obtained in advance of the book's release, and presents a sampling of the book's numerous falsehoods, including misrepresentations of the sources she cites. These falsehoods come on a wide-ranging list of subjects including her defense of the claims made against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential campaign; her assertion that "Fox News has never been caught promoting a fraud"; her claim that President-elect Barack Obama was referring to Gov. Sarah Palin when he said "you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig"; and attacks she makes against New York Times columnist Frank Rich. Coulter has announced that she is scheduled to appear on the January 6 broadcast of NBC's Today to promote Guilty.

Media Matters has also documented that Coulter made numerous inflammatory and offensive comments in Guilty.

Below are examples of the numerous falsehoods in Guilty: http://mediamatters.org/items/200901040002

1. Really? I think it'd be a shocker if it was full of truth. nt

2. In other news: "Ducks still quack, water still wet"

:rofl:

[Serial Mom]

3. Well DUH....

All her books have been filled with falsehoods and basically, JUST HER TWISTED OPINIONS!

I always wondered if I could get the press she does if I wrote books with the opposite viewpoint of hers spewing hate and nastiness towards the people of her kind!

4. What else is new?

Q: How do you tell if Ann Coulter is lying?
A: There are words.

5. Can't you just save that as a template and everytime she puts out a new screed, just change the

title?

[RC]

6. What else is new? Blue skies, sun rises in east, wet water.

The latest verse is the same as all the others. Why waste a post advertising for a reality challenged repug off her meds?

7. Coulter is a douchehammer.

You expect different from a douchehammer?

11. I was going to take the high road and ask if all copies of this book will come with a gin scent

but douchehammer works

:rofl:

[Somawas]

15. No. Just vinegar and some water.

8. "falsehoods" & "numerous inflammatory and offensive comments "

That's her whole act in a nutshell, that and her constant pathetic attempts to try and look sexy on camera.

[Terran]

9. Well, I suspect the "lipstick on a pig" thing really WAS

a shot at Palin...he just did it in such a way that there was no way to pin it on him because there was no direct or logical connection to Palin, other than the fact that she was associated with "lipstick" in an entirely different way. It was perfectly executed, and there's nothing Crazy Coulter can do but whine about it.

10. her audience doesn't care about the lies

The book is their fodder for the latest "talking points" you'll be seeing in emails for the next ten years.

13. Remainder bins across America are filling up even as we speak.

14. Looks like a warm winter so far, so sales will be even slower.

At least I won't have to take my calculator to the bookstore, trying to figure out how a cord of Coulter compares to hardwood.
