Ann Coulter Responds to Media Matters Attacks (The Pile-On-Coulter Continues)

Ann Coulter Responds to Media Matters Attacks


The far left attack dog Media Matters for America is obviously unhappy with Ann Coulter’s new book “Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America.” published a 6,000 word compilation of a dozen alleged lies contained in her book which unmasks some of the left’s sleaziest tactics.

Media Matters, according to widely respected pollster Frank Luntz is “one of the most destructive organizations associated with American politics today … They are vicious. They only understand one thing: attack...”

Newsmax asked Ms. Coulter to respond to each attack on her meticulously researched book, and she agreed.

Here is each Media Matters claim, followed by Ms. Coulter's response, point-by-point.

Media Matters: Coulter claims that two black students who engaged in a hoax by hanging a black doll from a noose were "immediately praised" by "liberals," but the sources she cites do not support this claim.

Coulter: “Just because something is not footnoted does not make it false. I am one of the few writers who includes footnotes as service to my readers.

“But as long as you ask, among the praise for the perpetrators of the hoax hate crime was a statement by the president of Duke in a baccalaureate address reprinted in the Duke magazine.

President Nannerl Keohane cited the hoax as a ‘protest,’ listing it with other admirable protest activities pursued by Duke students that year. She went on to note that in response to the protests, ‘“[p]rogress has been made.’”

“Media Matters” only matters if one lets them matter.

Yawn.

Sell those books Ann.

Noted in the Costco flyer we get in the mail that “Guilty” is on sale at Costco as of yesterdays date, January 6th. Will be going there this weekend for supplies. Hope to find a copy for us.

The Media attack Ms. Coulter for hyperbole, an effective debating tool and something they use regularly with solemn face. What they don’t attack her for is her humor, another good device but, being absolutely humorless, they are unable to recognize.

Go Ann!

If they hate it, I’m buyin’ it - simple as that. Besides, she is poignant, bright and funny. I can sit down and read them from cover to cover with no skipping around. (I can’t seem to do that with Noonan, Malkin, etc.)

Yawn.

You can be complacent, that's OK.

But when the left is so gracious to misrepresent a Staunch Conservative like Ann Coulter's new book and she gets to respond where millions of people can access it, many people whose lives are one continuous yawn will wake up to the truth.

Thanks for the bump!

If you think anybody whom at this point still gives any credence to “Media Matters” is going to buy one of Ann’s books, then you’re living in a “Fantasyland”.

Suggest you laugh at the B-stards as opposed to hyper-ventilating over their ignorant rants.

“Media Matters” doesn’t matter. Find something that does to raise your blood pressure over.

What ever caused you to so causticly misinterperet my post to you? Talk about “Fantasyland”.

It's not about people giving credence" to media matters that is helping to sell the books.

It's the opportunities that Coulter gets in the media to counter their lies and distortions that does that. ( Kinda like my post to you here.)

Don't be concerned about my laugh index, this post of yours to me brought out a good chuckle

Thanks for adding the faux "hyper-ventilating" to my calm post.

My blood prssure is just fine, thanks Doctor.

I'm having a great time with all of this, sorry it bothers you so!

Thanks for the bumps.

Oh, I like your new name.

Media Matters is the most childish and snarky collection of individuals you will ever encounter. It’s hilarious how they breathlessly relate some mildly controversial opinion shared by Limbaugh or others as self-evidently scandalous. All non-leftist thought is a lie. The fact that the were and are real live phony soldiers is completely beside the point to them. They occupy a very “Alice in Wonderland” type place where truth is defined in a way no normal person would recognize.

They don’t mishear these things, they are socialists who lie by omission and deliberately miscast a statement through redaction.

Joe Biden did it himself during the Clarence Thomas nomination hearing.

The current crop of Republicans shame our forefathers. They don’t have the guts to stand up for America and their stupidity to trust any Liberal is a fool’s errand.

I think it has tocked already. My theory is that she's a lot more introverted than she comes across, and simply likes being alone. You've got to figure that whenever she's with people, she's pretty much in full battle mode. And it sounds like she's got a great family.

Uh... right.

You’ve obviously not cinsidered whether YOU’D want to be involved in a domestic ‘discussion’ with her. She’d give you her side of it in two pages, single-spaced, with footnotes to back it up. THEN what?

“Yes, dear.”

THAT’S what.

I’m not saying she isn’t nice, or isn’t ever loving, or even sensuous; just that being under the same roof with her for the rest of your life MIGHT not turn out like the photographs seem to imply.

It takes a tiger to win a tiger, and — while there’s no shortage of chest-pounders claiming to be tigers — when it comes down to where the metal meets the meat, most are made of paper.

Amen!

Ann Coulter not only writes great books and columns but is unafraid to go on liberal turf and confront the leftists waiting to attack her. They usually fail to dent her credibility. Media Matters won't, either.

At this point in her career, Ann Coulter is hardly an unknown. Those of us who admire her intelligence and wit as well as her absolutely fearless attitude toward the army of leftists that try to destroy her and/or her credibility will support her by buying her books and reading her columns. Those on the left will reflexively and ineffectively attack her, as the Soros-funded website Media Matters has. They sure won't be purchasing her books, except to burn them.

No matter. Ann Coulter's reputation for truth and the guts to confront the liberals who try to discredit her with weasel words and twisting her statements (written and spoken) convince only the already-convinced. They are talking to themselves. Ann, while her audience is primarily conservatives, keeps getting the word out and incrementally encroaches on the web of lies that surrounds the leftist positions. She is doing a great service while making a nice living and, tangentially, providing conservatism with an attractive 'face'.

Thanks, Ann.

The GOP isn’t worth fighting for anymore.

Look at the current illuminaries - Collins, Snow, Graham, McCain, Pawlenty - Democrat suck-ups all.
Only a handfull of GOP politicians have the courage to support their base consituents - Duncan Hunter, Sarah Palin, Jindhal, Cantor, Sandford.

Can anybody name any more???

I wonder why Ann bothers?

It's no different than arguing with first graders about grammar, syntax, and the difference between an opinion and a lie.

There is no way to win, and their attention span is so erratic...
