You've heard by now about right-wing doyenne Ann Coulter's latest crock, Godless: The Church of Liberalism.
The big to-do about the book is Coulter's blasting certain 9/11 widows-turned-activist. Coulter says the "left" uses the 9/11 widows as "human shields" who cannot be attacked. She goes on to rake the 9/11 widows, the so-called "Jersey Girls" over the coals, calling them "witches," and "harpies," and saying how they're millionaires reveling in their status as celebrities (sounds like somebody Ann might know, eh?), and how they're enjoying their husbands' deaths, and how their husbands were going to divorce them anyway, and other venom-spitting invective.
I like iconoclasts. I think it's a problem when you're not allowed to criticize a political stance because its adherents allied with victims. I said similar things about John Walsh and Mark Klass who lost their children to monstrous sex offenders and subsequently made careers out of advocacy for protection of children against predators. I would be hypocritical if I said Coulter should not criticize the liberal allegiance with these 9/11 widows. I don't agree with Coulter, but it's fine with me for her to argue the premise.

Where Coulter's iconoclastics go foul is in her personal attacks on the 9/11 widows. What I criticize in the right-wing's use of Walsh and Klass is what I see as the Right's political agenda. The worst I would say about those men is they may be allowing others to exploit their activism for disingenous purposes. I cannot imagine being heartless enough to say that Walsh and Klass are "reveling in their status as celebrities and enjoying the deaths of their children." WTF? I don't even have children (and note Coulter does not have a husband, wonder why!) so I can only imagine how life-shattering it must be to lose a child to the predations of a sex pervert. Likewise, how can Coulter presume what it is like to lose a spouse of forty years to a terrorist attack? I think it's baseless (and base) conjecture.

If a left-wing critic offered even the mildest criticisms of Walsh and Klass, he'd be lynched. Coulter is celebrated. Tonight I happened to catch Bill O'Reilly. He tsk-tsked Coulter's personal attacks, but agreed with her political premise. Sean Hannity joined Coulter and Coulter syncophants in the proverbial ribbon-cutting ceremony at whatever bookstore that was.

Speaking of conjecture, I conject Coulter is engaging in psychological projection as she describes these women profiting from the deaths of others and using it to further a political cause. I further conject that Coulter is a lonely, aging preppie who could not buy happiness with daddy's money, or her own money, or her blonde bombshell body, nor could she fill the giant void in her soul with all the Chardonnay and cocaine in the world. She is a pitiable person as mean as she is.

Of course, the 9/11 widows issue is just the tip of the cesspool, and the corporate media will court Coulter time and again so she may spout the rest of the kooky swill in her latest 300-page tome of hate.

Is it not ironic the auther of Slander engages in so much slander herself? Does it not defeat her "liberal media" harangue when Matt Lauer invites her on as his guest, but not, say, Greg Palast or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who have proven unequivocally that the Bushies stole the last two Presidental elections? I mean, what is a bigger story--the death of our democracy, or Ann Coulter hates a lot of people?

dag, i was gonna post on this but you beat me to it.

the real choice quote is, ""I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." absolutely rabid. she's a madwoman.

and i'll be honest, i actually thought her excoriation of hippy chicks back in the day was sorta funny. but this time she's gone too far.

Are you referring to Ann (I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women)er.

I hate her. She's a vile, miserable wench sprewing hate wherever she goes.

She excoriated "hippy chicks"? I hope she was referring to women with wide hips! Here's the kicker...Ann Coulter was a Deadhead! That's right,  she went the way of so many spoiled prepsters with no need for a summer job, and followed The Grateful Dead on their interminable tours. Coulter does not dispute the fact that she went to over 100 "Dead shows."  Now, what were the infamous activities peripheral to Dead shows? Reading The Wall Street Journal? Bible-talk breakfasts? Lemon-ade receptions? Ah, no, I'm afraid the correct answer is "pot smoking, acid-dropping, pill popping, booze-drinking, pagan rites, inebriated public disrobing, and group sex." But, hey, she was a different person in her youth, that was 1986. She and Dinesh D'Souza and Laura Ingraham were writing for that subversive commie-rag, The Dartmouth Review.

naw, it was something about latte liberals who drive suzukis and twirl around barefoot and something else... it's so over the top i have to admit i found it kinda funny but i can't find it now. actually if you try to google it you get all this stuff about her dead show escapades so oh well... i guess these days right wingers are so hypocritical, i hardly even notice it anymore.

EDIT: i found it!

"As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval. Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention."

i invite you to cut loose, ann! jeez.

the real hell of it is, the woman looks like a horse. and i'm not saying that because she has a loathesome soul, she really is not attractive. take a long long look at that face sometime. really.

Whatever pulchritude she may have had has been despoiled by her lifestyle. She looks like a cokehead and behaves like a wet-brained alcoholic. I cannot prove either, but I see behavioral patterns that make me suspect both. Furthermore,  beauty is only skin deep, but true ugliness comes from deep within. It is not for cosmetic reasons I don't find Coulter "beautiful," it's hardly even her venomous rhetoric. No, it is deeper. There is something icy and sociopathic in her countenance. She's got eyes like a crocodile!

Ann Coulter is a whore.  She's got some anger issues and diarrhea of the mouth.  I can't figure out why anyone pays attention to her.  And this is coming from Mrs Conservative.... ;)

What do you wanna bet shes real big into sadomasochism? :P

I've noticed the most venomous right-wing commentators are ex-Lefties.  Apparently Ann Coulter from what Maxwell said, also there is the clown Michael Savage if anyone is familiar with him.  I guess its a form of projection.

[quote author=

The problem with people like this they do get attention-like this thread. Rather than just ignoring her totally, she is given a venue for her hate (i.e. talk shows, books, etc.). And when she said something totally assine, everybody jumps on it-putting her in the limelight. If everyone just ignores her, maybe she will go away-then again, maybe not.  ::) .

But we know she has "NO REAL C*NT," she just is one figuratively!
;D ;D ;D

rat nucleon is my favorite by a mile.

I think I like UNCLEAN ROT the best. ;D

NO CLUE RANT says it like it is.




Cat

well, "C*nt loner" is probably the best at summing her up.

Ann Coulter:  Like Michael Moore, but at least you can say "nice legs, shame about the face".

(I actually enjoy both of 'em.  Slander and Canadian Bacon were both a fun read, and a fun movie respectively,  and they made their political points pretty well.  Alas, like most pundits, their respective bases  have become so radicalized that they both come off as merely shrill whackjob partisans these days.)
