Annie got us all again...

[WCGreen]

She is a master manipulator and we fell for it once again...

She says something outrageous and we write and tap the keyboard for hours...

And I am sure it is the same elsewhere, meaning on conservative sites...

And I am sure that this will result in a slight spike in her books sales...

So yea, Annie is doing herself good...

She obviously doesn't care what any of us think, but she knows it will stir controversy and therefor make her notoriety grow even larger...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

1. And yet....

you....

write another thread....

about her....

[WCGreen]

10. Notice I didn't say a word about what she said...

And yet how could I have gotten my point across without writing another thread...

You won't see me in any other Annie thread nor have I ever started one that I can recall...

So I figure I just might be entitled to voice my opinion...

Maybe not...

2. This guy put it best:

The problem isn’t that Ann Coulter exists. Of course Ann Coulter exists. Insufferable idiots are about as hard to find in America as amputees in West Africa. The problem is that she is paid attention; that she’s on TV and in newspapers; that the words “Party of rapist proud to be godless” float across the opinion section on Yahoo! News in bold alongside her empty face and no apologies are made. The problem is that mainstream editors and producers have no goddamn shame, that they would give Vlad the Impaler his own show or his own column if it would give them a quarter-point ratings bump. Coulter herself indicates nothing but the eternal human capacity for unpleasantness. Her mainstream acceptance, though, is symptomatic of a national mental degeneration. That’s the problem.

And the problem is also, as Ann would no doubt agree, liberals. Liberals who waste precious hours of their lives feverishly debunking her preposterous claims. Reading Coulter’s work in order to refute it is as pointless as covering your face in shit just so you can wipe it off. You don’t have to do research to dismiss Ann Coulter. You don’t argue with a street lunatic; you just keep walking. But instead of having the good sense to reserve their energies for people who could possibly be taken seriously, liberals exhaust their outrage on a cartwheeling rodeo clown whose sole purpose is to draw more and more negative attention from these self-same liberals.

Yes, I recognize the irony of writing an essay about Ann Coulter to tell everyone to stop writing about Ann Coulter. But my point is that it is not necessary for anyone to illustrate that accusing widows of enjoying their husbands’ deaths is outrageous. Of course it’s outrageous; everyone knows that, and after all, that’s why she said it. That is, she said it just so you would get upset about it, and there you are doing it. There you are, arguing about whether you’re a commie traitor. The minute you engage that kind of blarney, you’ve lost.

You don’t have to fall for it. You don’t have to go crazy every time she says something stupid. Coulter herself says, in her last and equally detestable book, “You must outrage the enemy. If you don’t leave liberals in a sputtering impotent rage, you’re not doing it right.” So don’t sputter; laugh. Laugh out loud. That’s the proper and natural reaction to a clown.

4. The more attention she gets, the more the GOP is damaged

She's a 100% negative.

[countmyvote4real]

6. Thank you for that. All heed this insight. n/t

[countmyvote4real]

3. She should be ignored.

Unfortunately, neither of our our posts help the cause. However, I promise to TRY to refrain from any further commentary from his/her hell-mouth.

[GainesT1958]

5. As I've always said about her...

Why does ANY sane person--either one of us or a Repub--give Little Oral Annie ANY credence, or just waste any air-time or ink, on her whatsoever? Most people who regularly state that "I don't know about this First Amendment Thing", or yell at disabled Viet Nam vets: "You started all this!", or imply that they think John Edwards is a "faggot", would be considered certifiably insane, even by most of those on the right side of the aisle.

I guess she was right about one thing; if you say the kinds of things she regularly spews, you really ought to join Britney Spears in rehab--only you should actually STAY there!:eyes:

B-)

7. I don't let her manipulate me........

And I know you don't either......

She doesn't inhabit my universe at all.....

[HappyWeasel]

9. Andrew Sullivan: She's the right's Michael Moore.

And just think....if the mainstream media doesn't cover this fiasco, we will have our case of the conservative media bias.

8. Coulter is a has been

She's 46 years old. She could at least cut her hair and pretend she was an adult. She has real problems.

[madeline_con]

11. Cutting your hair means you're all growed up? n/t

[Erika]

12. She's 46 years old

and dressing with skimpy clothes, long hair, and immature attitudes.

[Clark2008]

13. There's something wrong with long hair on a 46 year old woman?

Why?

[JI7]

16. she has been in her mid 40s for years now

she is most likely in her early to mid 50s.

and we need to bring up her attack on 9/11 widows again. maybe Ghouliani will demand Romney to distance himself from asshole Coulter for those attacks as 9/11 is the only thing Ghouliani is running on.

[durtee librul]

23. 'she' has an adams apple

I would give a month's salary to a reporter if they would just ask her on camera why she does.

[joshcryer]

14. This is one opportunity to take her down. I'm glad she "got to us."

This time she's not going to get away very clean. The comments were made at a rather high profile gathering, a lot of GOP people were there.

The only bad thing is that this happens at the end of the week. Weekend news cycle might let it drown out.

We need to keep the comments alive.

[NDP]

18. Exactly. The time has come to destroy MAnn Cunter

[sutz12]

15. I've read a couple of her books...

I checked them out of the library, so while she might get some kind of a hit count on that score, I didn't send any money her way. I probably won't read any more. I pretty much know what she'll say.

[zulchzulu]

17. Her legacy is that of a snot-nosed hatemonger ad hominem attacktista

I'm sure the more people hear about her idiotic comments, the more people will not want to hire her to come speak her predictable hatespeak.

Like her hero Joe McCarthy, she needs to be exposed and sink and drown into her gurgling sellf-absorbed own bile. It's just a matter of time. She's been dropped from many newspapers and the only people who dare have her on is Faux Snooze...and they are irrelevant journalistically in the overall scheme of things. Just ask Obama...

She'll go down like Lee Atwater...

[Doctor_J]

19. 15-20 threads

more to come. All of which, including this one, are going on my hide list.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. Yes, she's gotten exactly what she wanted: attention. It's just like

the spoiled child who throws a temper tantrum. They don't really care if you approve of what they are doing or not, they have your attention. I say just let her go and ignore her. She will, of course, become even more outrageous and vehement in an effort to offend those that she perceives to be the "enemy", but in the long run I believe that her attacks will escalate until they eventually reach a level of behavior that even her fans will find distasteful. That would be a crushing blow for her.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. K&R

[ruggerson]

22. The rightwingers give her a stage to spew this shit

what do you want us to do? Ignore it?

Hell fucking no.

[bicentennial_baby]

24. So it's ok to let her homophobic slurs just pass by?

:eyes:

[WCGreen]

25. I didn't say it was....

I just don't pay any attention to her...

I don't let what she says get under my skin...

She is just trying to sell books and everytime people rise up against her it puts more money in her pockett...

[leftynyc]

26. I think the difference in this case

is that she made the remark at a well know conservative forum with all the GOP candidates for '08 in attendance (save McCain). If the clips show the applause, it's time to hold some feet to the fire. Make people see what these men who want to be President endorse.

[theothersnippywshrub]

27. She is a window to the pus-filled souls of most republicans.

She is the most honest republican in America and her malignant heart, deceitful tongue, and pus-filled soul illustrate the future most republicans desire and are working to bring about.
