I’ve been to one of Ann’s speeches; she is amazing. For one thing, never doubt her conservatism, or her opposition to abortion. It was also fun seeing her cut the liberal questioners off at their knees.

That said, for all you birthers, give it up. It’s a losing proposition. I know he’s not an American citizen, you know he’s not an American citizen; Hell, everyone knows he’s not an American citizen.

BUT, nothing’s going to come of it. Ever. Focus your energies elsewhere. Pursuing the “birther” path is a waste of time.

Oh, yeah-one other thing...flame away...

She jumped the shark when she became a dedicated Slick Willardbot.

You may have hit the nail on the head.

But — again — she won’t be entertaining this old gray duck if she’s in bed with the faggots.

One Meghan McCain “hollywood rino” is more than enough. We don’t need a fat one AND a skinny one.

Most of her work is poorly written, but I admire her for standing up for Joe McCarthy when few others would dare to do so. He attack on Joe Farah though is foolish and wrong.

“She’s in her mid-40s. Never married. No children.”

Try late-40s. She’ll be 49 on December 8th. Laura Ingraham is 46 and has never been married either, despite having two young adopted children.

I wish more people would remember this is the woman who told a Muslim woman to take a flying carpet instead of flying. I’ll wait to hear what she says to the group, she’s earned that much and more.

As for the Birther issue, I can only add this.

I’m disappointed that a Constitutional Lawyer, a woman who has dedicated herself to the study of our laws and Conservative principles would not have concerns over an admitted dual-citizen being President. As a student of history, Ann would know our founders were very concerned about foreign influence in the White House. If she knows of some obscure Supreme Court ruling that has affirmed an admitted dual-national is eligible as a Natural Born Citizen, I’d love for her to tell us about it. On the same note, if she believes a dual-citizen is eligible under our Constitution, I wish she would explain why. Coming from Coulter, many people would be willing to listen and accept her reasoning.

I’d also ask her if she is comfortable with a man who has sealed every bit of his background papers, including his original birth certificate when no other President has gone to the lengths Obama has to seal his background. If she is comfortable with a President who does this I’d like to know her reasoning for finding it acceptable and why she would believe the public does not have the right to review a persons background who sits at the head of our government. If she is not comfortable, I’d like to know why she has not spoken out, on at least that issue.

Lately, in fact, Coulter has been making a habit of getting on the bad side of the right’s Dwight Schrutes, even at the risk of alienating some of her book buyers and website subscribers...
Who?
I've never even HEARD of this guy?
Anybody know WHO is "Dwight Schrutes" -- and WHY is Ann pissing him off?
(pinging a few FRiends from the OTHER recent thread about this.)

Yup. Fighting for a Constitutional issue is useless. /s

How did those guys ever win the Revolution? Maybe they ignored the naysayers?

Maybe, she’s looking for a husband, many gay men have money, never been married and have no kids.

THANK YOU, Brytani -- for your thoughtful post!
I particularly agree with the LAST part...
...if we could get ANN on board with this, this whole "Natural Born Citizen" controvery would be MUCH HARDER for the rest of the media to ignore it.

guy who wrote the post? hahahaha....no, according to the googlie machine, he’s on a sitcom I wouldn’t watch if you paid me to.

I like that she’s pissing him off, though. We need some pissed off conservatives to grab this country by the neck and shake it before we all go under.

She is one pundit who is fearless and leads with her chin, daring you to take a poke. She never apologizes.

I kind of like her. Heck, I like her a lot. I don’t have to agree with every last thing that comes out of her pen.

She has gone after Dem icons, and defended McCarthy when defending him gained her nothing but more opprobrium. She’s got more nerve than about anyone in media right now with only a couple of exceptions.

I’ll be interested to see the text of her remarks at the conference. I remember when National Review dumped her for saying that we should convert our enemies to Christianity. No one cares much what NR Online says and everyone remembers the Coulter Solution. Farah had better hope that isn’t his epitaph too.

an early and outspoken opponent of the Obama birther movement, calling its adherents a collection of "cranks.

And...This is the measure of Ann's fundamental character!

If she can't defend the Constitution ( **ALL** OF IT!) when it is still safe to do so, why on earth would we ever expect her to defend it in the face of real tyranny, jack boots in the street, and gas oven roar full-blast! Only a fool whould do so!

If tyranny comes to America, Ann will sell her talent to the fascist oligarchy and spit shine the jack boots crushing our necks!

To the shock, awe, and dismay of many on the left, Coulter even has dated a number of liberal acolytes, including a one-time aide to Joe Biden and the former president of the New York City Council.

And...Again this reflects Ann's basic character.

Personally, for me, I can not have a liberals ( really Marxists dressed in sheep's clothing) for a friend. I would never consider **dating** one! They are too stupid or too evil!

The Florida 2000 recount did it for me. That is when I realized that liberals ( really Marxists) were utterly and completely corrupt and would do **anything** ( literally) to gain power. They would kill conservatives if they could. They just can't get away with it ...yet!

As for Ann...The "crank" comment and using the KKK to make her point did it for me. Ann, GO POUND SAND! God will raise up someone else (with even greater talent than yours) to help save our nation.

If your buddies told you the above about a girl that you were about to go out with on a blind date, you think, what?

That they were jealous and nervous that they didn't have the testosterone to date such hot babe. (nancy boys)

And that they share with you deeply rooted symptoms of CES.

Some guys like to sit around and tear down strong women that wouldn't give them the time of day.

Makes them feel manly. Like Al Fraken.

Agreed. How long does it take on any Anne thread for some yahoo to pop-off with “buy her a hamburger”, “she has an adams apple” or other crap.

Anne has done more to advance Conservatism than 99% of all Conservatives, part of that has been by being provocative.

I don’t always agree with her but I give her the respect she rightfully deserves and I know we’d be a bit worse off if she was no longer around.

I found myself conflicted with Ann Coulter once. (The Harriet Myers foolishness) Later I realized that I was wrong, she was right, and she made a difference.

Years ago I concluded that I am not the sort of person who could tolerate Bill Maher or folks like him. I do not watch his Program and have not since the one time that I actually did.

Coulter is friends with him I suppose. What can you say about that? I have friends and family that are completely mindlessly Liberal. Am I suppose to toss them out the door when they are over for Christmas dinner?

You do what you can.

Truth is, Liberalism is generally defended by expressing feelings. Conservatism is generally defended by discussing facts.

Ann out “Rights” a lot of “Republicans” and though she may tarry with liberal scum, at least she presents something that you have never seen from the likes of John McCain or the Maine twins, and many others.

She is getting a message out to folks that Free Republic could never reach as a matter of fact.

Since you asked, the American Revolution was won by force of arms. You can look it up. Are you ready to take Obama out by force of arms? Didn’t think so...

I sympathize, but you’re going to have to wait until 2012 to get rid of the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers.
