Ann Coulter vs. Michael Moore
Newsmax ^ | 16 June 2006 | Humberto Fontova

Posted on 06/16/2006 5:05:55 PM PDT by ChessExpert

“As he turned to assault the next bunker an NVA machine gun opened up and he was mortally wounded. Captain Sosa-Camejo's valorous action and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army."

From his limousine Michael Moore sneers at this Cuban-American and his Band of Brothers as wimps and crybabies "with a yellow stripe down their backs."

Maybe I'm biased, but nothing – absolutely nothing – Ann Coulter has said about Murtha, Kerry or McClellan strikes me as remotely comparable in vileness, cowardice and rank stupidity as Michael Moore's blanket calumny against some of the bravest men of the 20th century.”

Do you think Coulter is a god? I posted the exchange in question.

It's clear she realized she might be wrong about what she said.

What's your real agenda with these quotes from the Hate Coulter sites?

Which are all false or at the least misrepresentative of her remarks?

You guys are exactly like the Michael Moore fanclub. He spews some blantantly false crap and they find a way to spin it so it remotely relates to something factual.

These are people who aren't interested in the truth. Both Moore's and Coulter's followers only want to hear someone tell them what they think they already know. The weakest possible support for their position will do.

"Coulter has stated that women are "not as bright" as men" and "have no capacity to understand how money is earned""

Only an idiot or a Soros/Moby employee would not realize that this is not a "lie" but humor.

Which are you?

Or do you think that cutting and pasting from Hate Coulter sites is presenting evidence?

Does Soros pay benefits? Or does he ride the backs of the workers?

Ann may have been inaccurate or made a mistake about something or another in her books, but a lie is a deliberate attempt to decieve.

I don't see how, reading that book review, anyone could conclude that it was a defense of Coplon. Ann Coulter portrayed it that way. Either she lied, or she is very stupid.

I'm sure more would be easy to find, but I'm not going to waste anymore of my time interfering with your hate. Go for it if that's what floats your boat.

"...Coulter makes up crap off the top of her head that Canada supported sent troops to Vietnam"

Not only did Canada not send troops to Vietnam, Canada provided a safe haven for U.S. military deserters and refused to extradite them to the U.S.

But it was an easy mistake for Ann to make, as Canadians look just like Americans until they dress to go outside. :)

She portrayed it not at all. She went on to talk about the previous 17 pages of that chapter.

You making up your outrage out of WHOLE CLOTH.

You are the LIAR.

It's funny that Ann claims to hate Democrats so much, since during her "flag had nothing to do with race" piece she conveniently "overlooked" the fact that segregationist Georgia Democrats hoisted the confederate flag over the Georgia state capitol in the 60s in direct response to civil rights push occurring nationwide. According to Ann, those guys thumbing their nose at the civil rights movement were not motivated by "race" at all. Elsewhere she claims she's from Connenicut and proud of the GOP's role in ending slavery and advancing civil rights, so I can only conclude Ann is a Schizo.

Her left-wing equivilent, Mikey Moore, simultaneously promotes abortion and berates Bush for "not prosecuting the anti-abortion zealots", then gives a speech saying "Even the Pope is against your war! When you've got the Pope against you, you're through!" Mikey seems to have "overlooked" that the Pope is also against abortion, funny how that works.

Face it, if Michael Moore was citing the same manufactured "facts" in his "documentaries" but he was promoting a pro-gun, pro-life, pro-WOT agenda instead, you guys would be happy to ignore his dishonest mumbo-jumbo because you agree with his "cause"

Mikey Moore and Ann Coulter should get along fabulously.

"Not only did Canada not send troops to Vietnam, Canada provided a safe haven for U.S. military deserters and refused to extradite them to the U.S."

Canada sent troops to Vietnam in 1973.

But as you can see from the actual exchange, Coulter did not insist on her claim as fact, and said she would get back on it.

And Canada did support the US war effort in many other ways. They just did not send troops -- until 1973.

Though, as others have noted, many Canadians did go on their own, via joining the US military.

I know you probably don't care about the actual facts. But other readers might.

We get that you hate Coulter and that you are willing to lie about her and misrepresent her comments.

You don't have to keep proving that over and over again.

"A better example is the Frank Rick "lie" cited by BillyBoy. Of course Rich didn't say that word-for-word and only a an idiot or a blind hater would not understand that she was using tongue-in-cheek to make a point."

Exactly.

Here is a Coulter Lie.
What she did here was really bad.
In her first book, she took alot of the important points from Michael Chapman in High Crimes and Misdemeanors''
Then Chapman sued Ann for taking all his quotes.
Ann then lied and said she took nothing from Chapman.
Read and tell me who the liar is.

High Crimes' and misuse?
By Alex Beam, Globe Staff, 10/18/2001

Earlier this month, conservative commentator Ann Coulter laughed off her dismissal as a contributing editor of National Review magazine by telling the Washington Post: ''I'm getting a lot of great publicity.'' But now Coulter is facing less welcome publicity - the suggestion that she is not the sole author of the 1998 bestseller ''High Crimes and Misdemeanors'' that brought her to national prominence as a telegenic Clinton-basher and poster girl for the right-wing establishment.

The charges were first leveled in a memo by Michael Chapman, formerly a colleague of Coulter's at the conservative weekly Human Events. In December 1998, shortly after Coulter's book came out, Chapman complained to his bosses that a lot of his original research and reporting - carried out for a special 1997 Human Events supplement called ''A Case for Impeachment'' - ended up in Coulter's book. In several instances, he wrote, his work was reproduced verbatim, paraphrased, or slightly rewritten, but never acknowledged. Chapman had originally volunteered to ghostwrite the impeachment book, but Regnery Publishing, which is owned by the same company as Human Events, didn't sign a contract with him. Instead, David Wagner, then a writer at Insight magazine, was hired to write a draft of the impeachment book project.

Chapman, who no longer works at Human Events, declined to comment. Wagner, now a law professor at Pat Robertson's Regent University, says he produced a draft using the magazine's research, but it was rejected because he failed to capture Coulter's polemical tone. ''I understood that she needed it to be in her voice,'' he explains. ''From the very beginning it was going to be Ann's book.''

Coulter referred inquiries to her lawyer, Richard Signorelli, who said in a written statement that ''Ms. Coulter's book was not ghostwritten at all. Ms. Coulter researched and wrote the entire book from beginning to end with no assistance whatsoever from any ghostwriter.'' He added that ''Ms. Coulter does not even know who Mr. Chapman is'' and called any claim that Wagner had a hand in the book ''disinformation.''

Regnery's executive editor Harry Crocker said Wagner ''drew some stuff together. Ann read those chapters and she read Chapman's work as well. They offered some basis for source material, but it was my impression that she threw those drafts away as irrelevant. ... If you took a page of and a page of her book, she thinks you wouldn't find any overlap. The book is 100 percent Ann Coulter.''

Let's take a look.

Chapman, ''A Case for Impeachment,'' page 13: ''Four Democratic fundraisers have stated that former DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen explicitly advocated selling access to the President...''

Coulter, page 219: ''At least four Democratic fund-raising officials have revealed that former DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen explicitly advocated selling access to the president ...''

Chapman: ''A DNC fundraiser told Nynex executives they would receive invitations to White House `coffees' if they joined the DNC's `Managing Trustees' program and agreed to donate $100,000 ...''

Coulter: ''A DNC fundraiser told Nynex Corporation executives that they would receive invitations to White House coffees if they joined the DNC's `Managing Trustees' program and agreed to donate $100,000 ...''

Coincidence? Or something more?

"I know you probably don't care about the actual facts. But other readers might.

Just out of curiosity, why would you say something like that?
