Ann Coulter is not the problem. . .

[wndycty]

. . .its her enablers who are. How many times has Ann just showed what type of horrible human being she is? Everytime she opens her mouth she shows it. But the real shame is not her, its those who do not hold her accountable for her actions. She will be back on the MSM, she will be welcomed at GOP/conservative events, etc. I blame her enablers.

1. yep she uses the same formula

every time. Say something outrageous, get days and days of coverage out of it laugh all the way to the bank.

I sometimes wonder if even she is not amazed by what she gets away with...what is the down side for her? More coverage, More books...More Money.

3. Exactly right....

she knows if she didn't make the outrageous statements, she would be just another face in the crowd. What amazes me is her remarks are getting more childish as she goes along. She should be ignored and she'll fade away.

4. it is societal

Look at the American Idol bimbo. Look at the popularity of movies like Jackass.

We humans have a large jackal component. We love crap like that. Even people who disapprove of what she says admire her for having the guts to just jab a stick in the eye of critics.

That's why it is so frustrating that candidates let themselves be "handled" into non-personalities. That's why Guiliani is popular despite being the wrong "formula" for the RW. That's why McCain is tanking.

If we could get a "give 'em hell Harry" to step up, we'd have the Pied Piper.

[madame defarge]

2. Agreed.

So how do we stop it? MSM is so obsessed with crap like this. And she (and MSM) feed on the attention this brings.

5. * gets in trouble they take Her of his medication and trot her/him in front of a camera.. it is

abuse of the mentally ill..

6. Ann needs to be made the poster child

for the neo/fascist conservatives. She represents their deepest emotions and highest intellect.
To be Coulterized is to stand apart from the ugly side of America. It is akin to sanitization.

[ShortnFiery]

7. Yes, well put.

Coulter is just the human representation of all the right wing's delusions ... all their pent up hatred for "the other" and all the self-righteous moral absolutes that their authoritarian preachers spew at them on Sundays. She's bereft of compassion and full of hate ... but the good news is that her enablers are dwindling, leaving Coulter a mere carcass ---> a dried up old political whore who refuses to admit that her 15 minutes are up.

Yes, Coulter is fading because "Earl and May Ella" are too busy working two jobs to focus all that destructional hate on "all others." :shrug:

8. The audience reaction to what she said was more shocking than what she said. nt

[vankuria]

9. I hate to say

but I'm glad whenever she opens her mouth, what great publicity for the party of hate. I want Ann Coulter to be the face of the repugs. The fact that she was introduced by a presidential hopeful and Cheney the father of a very public lesbian daughter was sitting in the audience, and the cheers from this nutso crowd, makes this very juicy. Now if we can get the mainstream media to publicize this hatefest...

[rock]

10. Yep, she's a looney

Instead of being embarassed by such representation, the right cheers her own. Being a crazy person is not her fault.

[havocmom]

11. Coulter wasn't getting any attention so she behaves badly

just like any infant.

Explain to her that her behavior was not acceptable, send her to time out and ignore her scrawny, whiny ass.

Yes, hold the media accountable for the attention they lavish on this pathetic case of arrested development. They are the enablers of anti-social tantrums. Without their attention, the whiny ass brat would not be an issue.

[xchrom]

12. ann uses them and they use her.

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. she represents that small faction who still supports Bush

Those are the type of people we are dealing with. How the hell they ever out from under their rocks to run the country is beyond me. But it is time for them to crawl back to the seedy underbelly from wince they came.

[mtnsnake]

14. It's all about the money

Coulter is not only a world class jerkoff, but she's a money hungry witch who knows all too well that she probably just pocketed another few millions of dollars by puking out the caustic rhetoric she just did. She knows she won't sell any books or get paid big money to do speeches by standing up there and being an angel. She's truly sold her soul to the devil.
