Ann has become a mixed bag but what can I say. Sometimes I like her sometimes I don’t. She still has a good deal of North Eastern snobbery but she isn’t alone. I worry about Ann. She’s 51 and is not married and has no kids. It has to be humbling for her to see a woman like Palin not only marry a real man, have plenty of kids, and rise to a governorship without any of the hoity-toity merit badges she has. Beyond that I don’t understand her need to criticize Palin so harshly but she seems to have become more bitter with age as her innate inferiority as a women becomes more and more evident.
I’m not going to get into any hating of Ann.
What I want to point out is that Ann worked for “Human Events” and her mentor was a prominent beltway conservative, M. Stanton Evans.
Mr. Evans and his contemporaries of the beltway conservatives like Jack Kilpatrick and Phyllis Schlafly circled the wagons against the liberal media when they attacked Nixon in the early 70’s.
The “conservative” answer in those turbulent times to the long haired hippie pinko sympathizers of the liberal media was a mantra of “fair and balanced” (heard that anywhere?).
But that meant that folks like Schlafly publicly supported the FCC Fairness Doctrine. NBC News fought a lengthy legal battle when they were cited for bias in a documentary on pensions in the 70’s.
Sadly, the stiffest Fairness Doctrine penalty of the Nixon Era was shutting down a fundamentalist preacher’s radio station.
Dr. Carl McIntire led hundreds of thousands in protest for a military victory in the Vietnam War instead of the peace deal Nixon wanted with the Communists.
That preacher made the “enemies list” of Nixon along with the leftists and hippies.
Ann Coulter defended the “peace deal” in Vietnam and said the liberals in Congress are to blame for denying aid when the Communists broke the treaty.
But since when have Communists kept any piece of paper they sign.
REMEMBER, WE HAVE A SIGNED ARMISTICE IN KOREA RIGHT NOW.....
I’ve never in my life known of a woman who was so strongly hated by so many Americans than Sarah Palin. I actually heard one guy say recently that he voted for obama in 2008 as a lesser of two evils. He said Palin was the evil he voted against.
