Ann Coulter Poll

[Felix_Nietzsche]

"she does not lie."
She's a pathological liar. Here are two examples from her book Slander:
************************************************** ********
OK, bring them on.


“New York Times columnist Frank Rich demanded that [Attorney General] Ashcroft stop monkeying around with Muslim terrorists and concentrate on anti-abortion extremists.”
Reality: In the column Coulter cited, there is absolutely no evidence that Rich even remotely suggested that Ashcroft curtail efforts against Islamic terrorists. There exists not one post-9/11 Times column by Rich in which Rich made any such demands of Ashcroft.

DONAHUE: You’ve grievously been unfair to some folks in here. You have “New York Times” columnist Frank Rich demanding Ashcroft stop monkeying around with Muslim terrorists?
COULTER: Yes.
DONAHUE: He said no such thing. Frank Rich is out there saying go get them.
COULTER: Yes, he did. He had a column on it.
DONAHUE: No, he didn’t.
COULTER: I cite the column and I invite the viewers to look it up. It is quoted. It is footnoted. He had an entire column denouncing John Ashcroft for not meeting with the representatives.
DONAHUE: That’s not monkeying around. That’s not saying he should stop monkeying around.
COULTER: Oh, yes, it-look, he asked if it was one or the other.
DONAHUE: Let’s, for the sake of this argument-Rich was saying...
COULTER: No, not for the sake of this argument.
DONAHUE: Rich was saying if anybody knows about terrorism, it’s people who operate abortion clinics. And they have names. They know things. And they wanted to talk to Ashcroft so they could help him with this war on terror.
Wouldn’t see them. Wouldn’t even talk to them. That was the point...
COULTER: OK, can I respond now?
DONAHUE: Sure.
COULTER: And, moreover, he quoted the great expertise of these planned parenthood experts. Because the true terrorists are the opponents to slaughtering children in the womb. That’s what we have to worry about in this country. He quoted them and what their advice would be, don’t offer terrorists money.
Well, the precise quote, you know, terrorists they were looking for was, caught in response to a reward of money. That’s a little embarrassing, don’t you think? Listen to these people.
Well, the advice they were giving, that he quoted in his column, turned out to be 180 degrees wrong. And that was the point of this column. Concentrate on people going after abortion clinics.
DONAHUE: You accuse him of suggesting that Ashcroft and the rest should stop...
COULTER: He was not pursuing the war on terrorism seriously because he would not meet with Planned Parenthood.
DONAHUE: That isn’t what you said.
COULTER: Of course it is.


“Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman recommended dropping the war against global terrorism (‘declare war at the first at the first decent opportunity’!) and instead concentrate on ‘home-grown extremists.’”
Reality: In the column Coulter cited, Ackerman does not advocate concentrating on domestic terrorists (as opposed to foreign-born terrorists, who are the focus of the column). In fact, Ackerman only mentions “home-grown extremists” in passing (“And I do not deny that other attacks may well occur — perhaps committed by home-grown extremists.”)
************************************************** ********
Ann tells her detractors everyone of her quotes are foot noted and she challenges readers to check themselves.


"Tthe Democratic Party, as an entity, has become functionally treasonable."
************************************************** **
An opinion.
Many Democratic leaders have been giving many hurtful propaganda like quotes to Al Qaeda. To accuse certain democrats of treason is not unreasonable. Jim "Bagdad" McDermott has crossed the line several times. Dick Durbin aplogized in tears for comparing US troops to Nazis. Al Qaeda has taken these Democratic quotes and used them as recruiting tools.


"Bill Clinton was a very good rapist."
************************************************** *******
An opinion.
Is it not true that Bill Clinton is an accused rapist? He was never indicted but his accuser stands by her story. i have seen interviews of Anita Broderick's and her story is very compelling.


"I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning."
************************************************** **
Satire.


On Iran: "I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."
************************************************** **
Satire.


"Liberals hate America, . . . they hate all religions except Islam (post 9/11). Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do.”
**************************************************
An opinion. Once on network news, they showed anti-war protesters trying to stop US military supply ships from leaving port to deliver supplies to US troops in Iraq. Even though their attempts were futile, these people could be charged with treason. If I were president, I would throw these people in jail.
Comparing US troops to Nazis while our troops are fighting insurgents in Iraq is a major propaganda tool for the Al Qaeda. John "Tokyo Rose" Murtha could be called a traitor for his remarks calling US troops cold-blooded-murders. These marines are entitled to a defense and the right to cross-examine any witnesses. Murtha's remarks are extremely hurtful to troop morale. Also Murtha's remarks have been used by Al Qaeda recruiters to recruit more jihadists. A patriotic man would shut up and wait until AFTER a trial. If these men are found not guilty, then Murtha has helped Al Qaeda recruit new members with his false remarks. If these men are found guilty, then he could comment that this behavior is not acceptable for US troops and will be punished.

Trying to deny US troops supplies is sign of hatred, don't you think?
