Ann Coulter jumps the shark again, this time by defending a racist organization

[ck4829]

In her latest foaming-mouth tome — Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America, released on Jan. 6 — Coulter spends the better part of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a “thinly veiled white supremacist organization.” Coulter begs to differ. The CCC, Coulter opines, is “a conservative group” that has unfairly been branded as racist “because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group.” “There is no evidence on its Web page that the modern incarnation of the CCC supports segregation,” she says. “Apart from some aggressive reporting on black-on-white crimes — the very crimes that are aggressively hidden by the establishment media — there is little on the CCC website suggesting” that the group is racist. Indeed, its main failing is “containing members who had belonged to a segregationist group thirty years earlier.”

Coulter could hardly be more wrong. And even if she can’t find time to read beyond a page of the CCC’s website, she really ought to know — after all, the organization where she frequently speaks, the Conservative Political Action Committee, has publicly banned the CCC from its annual gathering because it is racist. Also in the late 1990s, Jim Nicholson, then-chairman of the Republican National Committee, asked GOP members to stay away from the CCC because of its “racist and nationalist views.”

How could conservative Republicans be inspired to say such ugly things? Let us count the ways.

The CCC’s columnists have written that black people are “a retrograde species of humanity,” and that non-white immigration is turning the U.S. population into a “slimy brown mass of glop.” Its website has run photographic comparisons of pop singer Michael Jackson and a chimpanzee. It opposes “forced integration” and decries racial intermarriage. It has lambasted black people as “genetically inferior,” complained about “Jewish power brokers,” called gay people “perverted sodomites,” and even named the late Lester Maddox, the baseball bat-wielding, arch-segregationist former governor of Georgia, “Patriot of the Century.”

1. But Bill Ayers used to be a radical extremist!

Fuckin Hypocrites, I need to find that RADFRINGE LOGO.

On edit, I found it, Hey RF can you shrink this down a bit, I think more people would use it....

[frogcycle]

2. I just googled "Council of Conservative Citizens"

Looks like a whole lot of people think they are a racist hate group. Not just the NYT. Coulter is an idiot. But we knew that!

[Bicoastal]

3. I agree with 99.9% of it, but I know the MJ/Chimp comparison they're talking about...

...it's the one comparing 00's MJ with a female character from the remake of "Planet of the Apes." It WOULD be extremely offensive to compare MJ to a straight-out chimp, but to someone wearing tons of movie makeup? After all that plastic surgery he's had?

Well, at this point, I'm not sure there's anything terribly racist about pointing out that Michael Jackson has become a very, very strange-looking fellow.

[frogcycle]

4. holy crap!

I just looked at their website. All it IS is racism! White supremacy, selling "white pride" t-shirts, railing against "Afro-mythology" and the "vicious slanders" of Black History Month.

Has a long article proclaiming the innocence of General Nathan Bedford Forrest in the massacre of black POWs. Forrest, of course, went on to found the KKK after the war.

Coulter is a lunatic for touching this gang with a 10-ft pole!

6. they are grasping at straws, Republicons are in a downward spiral

the only thing they seem to have left is rascist hate groups. Hows that DOORS song go,

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land .....

7. Not surprising

She wrote a book defending Joe McCarthy a few years back.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. She has fewer and fewer friends these days, what's a girl gonna do?

[intaglio]

17. Girl? Coulter is female?!

You sure about that?

[qazplm]

8. Sharks suck

with as many times as she's jumped one, you'd think they grab her ass at least once!

[11 Bravo]

9. Just once, I wish that bony skank would FAIL to jump the shark.

If I remember my Happy Days correctly, that would entail her being EATEN by the fucking thing!

(Not much meat on those bones, eh, Jaws?)

[DCKit]

25. Every now and again, you've got to chew something stringy just to clean your teeth...

though I'm sure they'd prefer something with "taste".

On Edit:

Keep it up mAnn, the louder and more strident you become, the more defections to U.S. - people who will deny ever having been members of, or voting for the party of HATE. I've got a couple of converts in my own family already, so thank you, you skeezy harridan.

[madrchsod]

10. these are the guys who put a nice face on the aryan nation

[KG]

11. CCC = KKK is a business suit.

[daninthemoon]

22. Pretty damn blatant isn't it?

[Jack Rabbit]

12. It was formally known as the White Citizens' Council

It was itself the segregationist organization with which one of its leaders was associated.

Aren't Ms. Coulter's 15 minutes up yet? She's contributes nothing positive to a national discussion on any subject.

[Stevenmarc]

13. There's a big difference between defending a racist organization

and whitewashing, so to speak, a racist organization, after all, the ACLU has defended the KKK at times. The difference is that the ACLU defends their right to appear as stupid as they are while Coulter attempts to shine a turd.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

14. "Jump the Shark" implies that at one point she was good.

She wasn't.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

15. Hey, not to worry about Ann jumping the shark

she will still be invited onto the major media spew shows.

[dsc]

16. Given the number of people here who defended Warren

I don't think we have a leg to stand on here.

[Mnemosyne]

18. If I see this piece of crap in a store, I turn her greedy mug over. Puke. n/t

[etherealtruth]

19. The creature will say or do anything...

...to get its name in the news. Who would even think of this creature if it didn't say outrageous things?

[Political Tiger]

20. Coultergeist is one sick, hateful, disgusting, worthless POS

No wonder the pukes love her.

[Yukari Yakumo]

21. Not exactly new for her...

She's already advocated genocide against all Muslims when she made her comments immediately after 9-11.

So her revealing herself as the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler is really par for the course for her.

[fishwax]

23. nice bit of sleight-of-hand with racists = segregationists

"people say they're racist because they were segregationists, but they're not segregationist now, so they must not be racist" :crazy:

Their history as an outgrowth of the White Citizens Councils is bad enough, but the CofCC has been branded racist for other reasons too (like for all the racist shit they spout).

[treestar]

24. As long as there are sharks

Annthrax will be jumping them.

[flying rabbit]

26. She can't jump the shark

she is chum.

[radfringe]

27. ohhhh please..... she's a mouth-foamer trying to sell her books

it's the only time she gets any "press" - comes out with some stupid crazy-ass blather to get attention

riles up the left, and the mouth-foaming dittoheads rush out to "support Ann" and buy her book. What would be interesting is to know how many of the mouth-foamers who buy her "books" actually read them.

[Buns_of_Fire]

28. Solution: higher-jumping sharks. n/t

[DailyGrind51]

29. Too bad she doesn't just jump on to subway tracks, touching the third rail!

[MajorChode]

30. Assuming what Coulter says is correct...

Since when did that stop the wingnuts from accusing the ACLU of being a "communist" organization because the founder, Roger Baldwin, was a member of the Socialist party at one time, even though he stepped down as head of the ACLU in 1950?

The CCC is most certainly a white supremacist organization. Even Bob Barr agreed. Coulter is just telling another one of her fairy tales, just like when she said Joe McCarthy was a hero. What a cunt.
