Coulter, Harry Take Each Other On [Have Words On The Early Show About Her Mention Of Him....]
CBS ^

Posted on 01/06/2009 6:25:18 AM PST by Sub-Driver

Coulter, Harry Take Each Other On NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2009(CBS) Ann Coulter says liberals should look in the mirror.

In her latest book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America," the conservative firebrand stirs up controversy again, contending that liberals in America try to play victim when really, they're the bullies.

While she's at it, she points fingers at what she calls the liberal media.

"(The book is) basically about how victimhood is rewarded and everyone wants to be a victim," Coulter told CBS News. "It's about the rewards and praise you get for being a victim and the way liberals use victimhood and they oppress others."

At one point in "Guilty," Coulter remarks about an interview of Sen. Ted Kennedy by Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith in which Smith asks Kennedy if Barack Obama is at increased risk of being assassinated because he's African American. She dismisses the notion, saying presidential assassinations have been the work of left-wingers or people with no political leanings at all.

Nothing infuriates the libs more than simple truth.

With all the publicity over Ann's book, I wonder who was watching NBC this morning?

It would be interesting to see the numbers.

The body language of Ann’s segment with Smith spoke volumes.

I never saw a host invade a guest’s personal space as many times as Harry. Never.

He constantly pointed, leaned over to her to confront her, used his hands in off putting gestures forcefully, not once, dozens of times.

Rude, crude, and ineffectual in the long run.

Ann was having none of it.

Conservatives must take their gloves off and expose the Muslim Messiah, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the waste in DC. All Liberals fear truth and exposure more than anything else. They exist on lies, distortions, propaganda, and cover ups by the mainstream media. Take away their lies and ploys and they’re on a par with terrorists. They’re doing as much damage to America, our security, our military, our freedom as any terrorist could. Since the average American doesn’t want to hear the truth, we have to spend 24/7 exposing them and the truth in every way possible.

Need proof? Just look at one of the comments to the news article ...

Reading some of the comments at the original article and others on Ann's book I guess she does have to spell it out for morons. When she mentions single parents she's not talking about widows, divorcees, or women who had little or no control of their situations. She's talking about sluts.

The whole “take a breath” exchange with Smith is what happens when someone like Ann answers the question more completely and intelligently than the interviewer expected. He has no cogent response, so he paints her as a filibustering hysteric. I’m glad she continued to complete the answer.

She’s brilliant. She handled him with grace. He was reduced to snide insults.

I love Ann’s mind.

Cool, Calm & Collected.

"Bush is more at risk of assassination than Obamah!"

Ole Harry couldn't deny that.

because of this economy and governmental red tape I cannot remarry..

What kind of governmental "red tape" could keep her from remarrying?

I bet she means her governmental check will stop if she remarries.

Ann said not one word that was in error. But ol’ Harry fighting back, you could almost see the flecks of foam.

You wouldn’t want to get a tomcat that blazing mad. But Ann seemed to have no aversion to poking ol’ Harry with a stick.

Left a few marks, too.

Smith wouldn’t dare try that with Obama, Hillary, or any Democrat.

When he said that condescendingly arrogant “Take a breath. Take a breath” to Ann, that was it. Ann had far more grace and civility than I would have been able to muster.

Harry would be laying on the floor.
