Coulter Says She's 'Anti-Murder'; Media Matters Disagrees


NEW YORK Univeral Press Syndicate writer Ann Coulter says in her current column that she's "anti-murder." This prompted the MediaMatters.org watchdog group to list six past Coulter statements in which she "jokingly" advocated killings.

One of the six was this December 2005 column quote: "I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo." Another was Coulter's 2002 statement: "We should invade countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

A quote MediaMatters.org didn't mention was Coulter's January 2006 "quip" about needing "somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee."

The conservative Coulter's full column statement about being 'anti-murder' reads: "I have always been unabashedly anti-murder, anti-rape, and anti-false accusation -- and I don't care who knows about it!"

1. She's ...

anti-human...a jackal that spawned the birth of the Anti-christ!

[400Years]

2. she is starting to become a self parody that nobody takes seriously

11. Starting to become...

She already is a self parody that nobody takes seriously except Bushbots. She's a raving lunatic that needs to be locked in a padded room for her own safety and ours. The only people who listen to her crap out her mouth are Bush's base that seem to be scurrying away like cockroaches from the light of truth.

3. I think she's pretty loony but these statements were jokes

[Sinti]

8. Ugly, in poor taste jokes that some lunatic might take seriously.

Oft repeated in all seriousness by her hateful, murderous and treacherous right-wing groupies, but yes, they were, in fact, jokes.

[Terran1212]

10. And think, there are plenty of Americans who like her

I know people who like her and Hannity and Limbaugh and Boortz and Savage and all of these uncivilized brutes.

12. Jokes?

Who finds this stuff funny?

Maybe she is the joke.

You know, like Hitler was pretty funny.

If she really thinks her crap is comedy gold, then she has VERY poor taste.

4. She is very dangerous...... BUT

I honestly don't think she believes what comes out of her mouth. It's all a show so she can make money.



However, some of the idiots who listen to her will take what she says as gospel truth. That is why she is so dangerous.

7. I'm with you - she's desperate and going for shock value

Scruples be damned. Her value as a voice in the media is slipping and she's getting desperate. Honestly, she's an educated woman who knows better. She's losing her grip and she's trying to re-establish herself in a way that's going to backfire. She has simply lost all credibility.

5. im sure she has called for the murder of a few peeps

[Dunvegan]

6. When are they going to throw her in jail for felony voting irregularities?

9. "anti-false accusation"

Riiiiight.

And if someone just "happens" to follow your "joke" to its horrific conclusion
and actually kills someone (a liberal or anit-war protestor, perhaps) you'll
just shrug and say "hey, I was only joking. I didn't expect them to take
me seriously."

Go to Hell, Coulter.

13. Anti-false accusation? Ann Coulter? Who lionizes Joe McCarthy?

:rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

19. "Have you no shame, Miss Coulter? Have you no decency?"

No. I've always been unabashedly shameless, and I don't care who knows it. :rofl:

[joeunderdog]

14. She's (ehem) NOT anti-vote fraud, however. nt

[sakabatou]

15. Unfortunately, she's pro-bullshit

[lpbk2713]

16. She (?) knows she's full of shit. But she has to keep on being an outrage.

and being controversial in order to keep her name in the media. Doesn't anyone but me get it? If she wasn't so controversial she wouldn't get all these speaking engagements at $20,000 a pop. Just forget about her and she'll go away. Nobody will want to pay to see her any more.

17. "We should invade countries, kill their leaders, and...

convert them to Christianity."

Yup, that sounds like someone who's pro-life. The bullshit coming from someone who is anti-murder. Hey, Ann Coulter - fuck you, hypocrit.

[jmowreader]

18. The "anti-false accusation" line is good too

How many false accusations does Coulter put in each column she writes?
