Author blasts liberals, finds warm welcome

Some conservative pundits take a shotgun approach in firing away at liberals.

Ann Coulter uses an Uzi.

Only hours before President George W. Bush was to speak this morning in Saginaw, the right-wing author took aim Wednesday night at liberal superstars and laid down some suppressing fire for Bush.

Judging by the thunderous applause in the nearly packed Temple Theatre in downtown Saginaw, each bullet hit its target.

Former President Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy all came within her cross-hairs as she poked holes in Democrats' criticism of the war in Iraq.

And God help you if your name is Michael Moore.

"You'd think with all that money he is making, he could afford some soap and water," said Coulter, referring to the appearance of the man who directed "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Lecturing down the street from TheDow Event Center, 303 Johnson -- where Bush was to speak -- Coulter called liberals "idiotic," "constant carpers," members of a "religious cult," and, worst of all, French-like. Her books, "Slander" and "Treason," have blasted left-wingers for years.

"Bush is going to win. I can't believe this country has become France," Coulter said of the election. "I can't believe this country is willing to surrender on the war on terror."

That's exactly what will happen, Coulter said, if Kerry, a Democrat, is elected to the White House. She contends Kerry will scale back the war on terror, swatting terrorists like mosquitoes one by one only when there is absolute proof of guilt.

Although the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States found that Saddam Hussein did not help coordinate the 9/11 attack, Coulter argued that the evidence shows some ties between Saddam and al-Qaida.

"There's plenty of evidence, but maybe not enough to convince an O.J. (Simpson) jury," she said to laughter from the crowd.

Coulter said she is constantly astonished at how liberals criticize the war in Iraq, including their claim the United States went in alone. She noted the nation has many allies helping in Iraq.

She also complained that liberals have tried to tie the hands of Attorney General John Ashcroft by criticizing his efforts to detain illegal Muslim immigrants and terrorist suspects.

Coulter cringes at cries of "racial profiling" whenever officials talk about heightening searches of Muslims at airport terminals. Airport security should focus on the most likely suspects, she said. After all, Muslim extremists make up "100 percent" of terrorists involved in attacks with planes.

"When it's 100 percent, it ceases to be a profile," she said. "It's a description of the suspect." v

Sure wish she'd wear some shooters glasses, though. I'd hate to see her get powder in her eyes.

If the GOP doesn't want to be associated with Ann, that's their loss.

I know that the range would let her shoot for free, and even have a big BBQ in her honor.

...Are you selling tickets??? :))

George Bush is making a mistake if he doesn't appoint Ann Coulter to some position that requires her to go before the Senate Conformation hearings. I would just LOVE to see her putting those Senators in their place. Can you just imagine what she could say to Kennedy or any other Senator, for that matter, that wanted to berate her? That would be good for pay per view. I'd pay to see it! They wouldn't know what to do with an educated woman with a backbone and a lot of testosterone...hehehe

That is a GREAT pic of Ann! First time I've seen that one. If you say its from your private collection then we can never be buds. Well..we could, if we became buds with the unspoken agreement that I'm going to steal Ann from you!
Again, great pic...the only thing that could make it any better is if a beer was prominently displayed

On the countrary. She uses a sniper rifle. She uses personalized precision attacks to rip out their hearts (brains are too small a target even for her) then calmly moves on to the next target in a systematic, lethal manner.

"Are you selling tickets..?"

Please look at what I said in Post #4: "If Anne would visit, we could get a picture that was much more on point. I know that the range would let her shoot for free, and even have a big BBQ in her honor." Note especially the word "If."

Nothing has been arranged yet; in fact, nothing has been officially proposed. I don't know Anne Coulter - heck, I don't even know if I've met anyone who knows her. I'm just saying that I know the guy who owns and runs the range, and I am absolutely certain that he'd do this - if it was something that Anne Coulter wanted to do. That last bit is up to someone who knows her to arrange the contact. I'll be glad to proceed from there, as few things would please me more than to have such an event and to meet her.

Replace Scott McClellan with Ann Coulter ! She would rip into Helen Thomash so bad Helen would be afraid to ask a question.
