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.

Harry really looked like a grumpy old man, who either couldn’t hear or couldn’t comprehend...his ridiculously snarky comment “You should have a cross”....made me wanna puke.

She was so much more intelligent and better prepared for his interview than he was it was almost sad when he got a chance to speak and reveal how ignorant he truly is.

“Take a breath. Take a breath

Too bad she didn't think to say..."Why, can't you keep up?"

Go Ann!

Just finished reading “If democrats had any brains they'd be republicans”.. by Ann Coulter.. It is a brilliant recapitulation of the reaction(s) by liberals of her other books.. Basically a study of liberal denial and confusion to "the truth".. by Ann or most anyone else..

Just so, even "being" a democrat is an indictment.. Do you have friends/relatives that are democrats?.. Well theres something wrong with them.. even if you cannot see it clearly.. I am waiting for the new book to be released.. a month or so I've heard from a BArnes and Noble clerk..

I only watched to see this interview and saw exactly what you did. The whole crew there are a bunch of dumba$$es, even the weather guy had to throw in his displeasure at having to follow her. Smith was a jerk and only enforces what she says about him and libs.

That’s the first time I have ever seen that Smith dude.

What a smug POS stating that Ann’s views are simplistic and sophomoric and implying that liberals are soooo cerebral.

Harry was sounding like Charlie Rose but Ann was, well, Ann.

No wonder she infuriates the liberals; they can not have a serious conversation with her because she’s so quick that she throws everything back at them. Liberal interviewers like to be in charge and most conservatives are polite and sit and accept the premise the interviewer starts off with. Ann challenges it and throws it right back at them with facts wrapped in a clever response. It was frustrating as heck for Harry Smith.

That's exactly what she meant.

"you are right I did choose not to marry because if I did I would loose benifits that would take away from my other 3 three children from thier DEAD FATHER!!!! I have done everything in life that I was supposed to do... I am not claiming victum because I have chosen my lifestyle...for your information I did pay the ultamate price I lost my husband of 11yrs who served his country proudly...so shame on you for saying that I am being selfish nowhere did I say that I wanted my benifits to take care of my other child I just didn''t like the label that Ann was putting out."

She completely contradicts herself...first she IS playing victim with the emphasization of their deceased father, then she says would lose the government benefits, then says she's not trying to be selfish and doesn't want the benefits to take care of her kids.

Amazing...

Yes, because Smith is trying to figure out which way to go next with her. She keeps him on the edge of his seat. I do think she was ready for him and his left wing statements. LOLOLOL That was a pretty good video. Good for her, put them in their place.

I dunno. I thought he was just debating. The “take a breath” was rude, but at least he was taking her seriously. Well, the cross line was bad.

Today was on in our house for about 10 minutes this morning. They had Rachel Maddow on instead of Ann Coulter!

She's had a lot of practice facing Alan Colmes. Like last night when Sean just sat back and grinned as the two of them go at it.

“Nothing infuriates the libs more than simple truth.”

That’s right. They can not handle the truth. It’s about lying to them. That’s all they do.
