Oh and I remember Barbara Olson I taped something and caught a small bit of one of her final appearances on Fox I forgot what she was taking about. Iy was surreal watching it after her murder. I liked her.
The pledge to campaign for the RATs in 2008 was indefensible (of course Ann didn't follow thur on it, proving she just said it to get media attention). And yes, McCain is a backstabbing douchebag, but that doesn't excuse her making up blatant lies by saying Hillary is "more conservative" than McCain (anyone with an IQ over 3 knows that's simply not true), or exaggerating his RINO street creed by claiming he has the worst record of any Republican Senator in a Bush state ("red state" in her rhetoric). If we believe Ann was honestly telling the truth there, then she must have had a memory lapse and "forgotten" that Voinovich, Warner, Lugar, etc. were all from states that went to Bush and they all have records to the left of McCain. And by 2008, Chuck Hagel was certainly working to get there.
Ann just flat out lies to get attention, plain and simple. Those weren't "mistakes" on her part.
Some other quotes of hers that made me cringe are the "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" about the WOT (sounds like a line Oliver Stone would write in his "W" script to describe Bush's "evil" motives, doesn't it?) and the whole thing about how "Jews" are imperfect people and "need to be perfected" by converting them to Christianity.
Seriously, this woman sounds like a laughable liberal caricature of what conservatives believe in. If she's trying to give them ammo to portray us all as nasty, hate-filled, bible-thumping bigots out to destroy anyone who's not a WASP, she's doing a great job.
Ironically, Coulter's only political work in her resume was being a staffer to Senator Spencer Abraham. From her own website: "Coulter worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan"

Anyone remember how many freepres went nuclear when Fred Thompson hired Spencer Abraham as an adviser and got Fred to dump him immediately BECAUSE of Abraham's record on immigration? I'm sure the irony is lost on Ann Coulter cultists. As is the fact so many freepers who say "never trust ANY Republican from New England"., then go on an Ann Coulter thread to look at her pics and fantasize about her in fishnets and brandishing a whip. She's a lifelong Conn. resident, guess she's an exception to their rules.
Bottom line is that Coulter does more harm than good for the conservative movement, and we should avoid her spewing her bile whenever we have a chance at victory. In fact, I can't think of a single time she's ever used her national spotlight in a way that helped advance conservatism in America. I stopped reading her stuff about 3 years ago, but I still hear about her rants from FR posts from time to time. If those on the left had a clue, they'd shun Michael Moore at the DNC. If those on the right had a clue, they'd "forget" to mail Ann's invite to CPAC from now on.
