ANN COULTER celebrates DEATH?
Exclusive story, PHOTOS from "Tonight Show" party with L.A. FReepers!

From a transcript of the June 14 edition of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on which New York Times bestselling author Ann Coulter appeared with comedian George Carlin:

COULTER: I understand you had an Ann Coulter joke last night, Jay.
LENO: Oh, I have a bunch of Ann Coulter jokes all the time.
COULTER: That I was worried about Dorothy's house falling on me.
LENO: I think that was the joke, yeah. And then, I had the -- the other joke was I liked you fighting Sigourney Weaver in the Alien. I think that was the other movie I did.

COULTER: Well, see, in my perspective I'm Dorothy --
LENO: Really?
COULTER: -- and I've just dropped my house on the mainstream media!

Negligent actions by controversial conservative ANN COULTER may have contributed to the death of
a Wiccan American yesterday, just outside Oz. The victim, known only as the "Wicked Witch of the
Mainstream Media," was crushed beneath a house which Ms. Coulter claimed to have intentionally
"dropped on her." Coulter seen here "celebrating" that death, at a post-taping party in Burbank.

O.K., O.K. -- I will admit it:

I used an intentionally misleading thread title to entice you into reading this "after action" FReep report -- with MULTIPLE (all new!) PHOTOs of Ann Coulter! ;o)

After all the Mainstream Media headlines about Ann wanting to murder:

- Vietnam veteran (turned traitor) John Murtha
- Supreme Court "Justice-for-Life" (apparently) John Paul Stevens, and
- reporters and editors at the treasonous ("fake, but accurate") New York Times,

I thought that I might do the same! ;o)

More on why the media jumps on these "Ann Coulter death stories," and about how Ann manipulates them like Pavlov's dog -- soon.

As you may have heard, a handful of southern California FReepers (and OUR Friends) joined Ann (and some of her OTHER friends) to watch the taping of her EXTRAORDINARY interview with Jay Leno on the "Tonight Show" last week.

In case you missed it, Ann ROCKED!

After the taping, we were joined by even MORE friends of Ann at a post-taping party nearby -- as reported in Cinnamon Girl’s excellent "after action" thread, posted immediately after the party, before we had all of the MARVELOUS images that are the subject of THIS thread:

As you can see, Ann didn’t even get a chance to take her coat off before she was MOBBED with requests for autographs -– all under the watchful eyes of her Marine Corps escort. :o)

Note: These Marines (and Navy corpsman) were at this party in an "unofficial" capacity, as "friends of Ann," and do not necessarily endorse all of Ann’s opinions. But I would not recommend making any sudden, threatening movements towards her in their presence. ;o)

Fortunately, the local moonbats were CLUELESS about Ann’s visit, so we had NO trouble with disruptors – in the studio audience during the taping, or at the post-taping party.

Our biggest problem was that there were too many "FRIENDS of Ann" who wanted to join in the festivities!

Also from the transcript:

LENO: Now, do you travel, like, with a bodyguard now?
COULTER: Well, I travel with conservative men. They're -- they're pretty fearsome. Unlike the liberals you showed the last time I was on when I spoke on a college campus. We got the nuanced liberals throwing food, and they missed.
Yeah, unlike them, I think my male friends can take 'em.

While ANN may no longer see the need for a bodyguard, at least at this kind of "Ann-friendly" event, many of her FRIENDS are still apprehensive, including the owner of a local security company, who DONATED two of his guys, just in case – to watch the door.

It is hard to tell who was having more fun: Ann, or the security guards. :o)

MANY MORE of these AMAZING images are on the way – SOON!

And, I have a little more to say about my recent discovery/enlightenment about Ann, and the provocative title of this thread -- her apparent obsession with DEATH...

[RonDog]

...my wife is an editor/marketing type and was glowing in praise of Ann's delivery, comportment, and "style."

[Ann Coulter on "Tonight Show" - best part was the pro-Ann audience!]

I caught Ann Coulter on the Tonight Show. A+, home run, two thumbs up--choose whatever cliche you care to, Coulter did an outstanding job on Jay Leno's program. She was funny, intelligent, likeable, articulate, and a thousand other things without being obnoxious. Jay Leno discussed the controversy on everyone's mind regarding Coulter's lousy, meanspirited attack on a group of the 9/11 widows: "the words you've used have overshadowed the point you were trying to make." Coulter, for her part, seemed perplexed by the controversy: "I'm calling liberals 'Godless'! They're cool with that. Just don't criticize the Jersey Girls."

Coulter made the larger point that liberals choose victims as spokesmen--the Jersey Girls, Cindy Sheehan, Christopher Reeve--so that the positions they advocate will be immune from criticism. It's a cheap trick, and it makes one wonder about the complicity liberals have in causing the pain that inevitably comes from getting thrown into such contentious debates. The larger point seemed sensible even if the controversy demonstrating it made Coulter look insensible.

Perhaps the best part of Coulter's appearance was the audience. It's the first time I remember a major conservative figure appearing on a television talk show and hearing the audience cheer enthusiastically. This wasn't the stacked, firebreathing audience of a Bill Maher or Phil Donahue. It was actually pro-Ann, or at least a vocal minority made it seem that way. Leno was critical but fair, and, in perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening, liberal comic George Carlin pretty much kept his mouth shut during Ann's appearance...

It **is** nice to actually HEAR HER SPEAK, without constant interruption, eh?

[RonDog]

This is great!

Bump!

THANKS, JeanS!

Ann Coulter, Jay Leno, and George Carlin

Ann Coulter was a guest on "The Tonight Show" on Wednesday night. No fights broke out and the National Guard didn't have to be deployed to the stage.

In fact, the interview was pretty much a "non event". Those who turned in to see a possible verbal sparring match between Coulter and Carlin were sadly disappointed.

Carlin sat on the couch and remained silent except for a funny comment about moving to the right to allow her to sit down.

Leno tried to get her to admit she had been hurtful to people mentioned in her current best seller Godless but was unsuccessful. Coulter handed herself as she usually does; straight facts, calm composure, and sharp as a tack.

As I have stated in an earlier posting, what more could a man want...blonde, educated, and a conservative. Add this to the fact that she a woman that can handle herself in many different situations, how could a red blooded American man go wrong.


Check out the photos on her website. You will see what I mean.
One last item. It was obvious that the studio audience LOVED her. She was interupted numerous times with applause of support. This coming from a Los Angeles (La La Land) audience. One just never knows...

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[tame]

You left out two others who were there, rondog: Freeper Truthtracker, and another one who probably prefers to remain unmentioned. they made it in to the Jay Leno taping with me...barely!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

BUMP!

[tame]

Man, those are GREAT pix of you guys with Ann at post 64!

[KJC1]

The best thing about Ann is that she slays the left's sleaziness with complete class. We've watched for years as the Kennedys, Kerrys, etc have wallowed in the gutter, and election after election has gone RIGHT, so Ann is a big help in that department. We see how well talking sh*t works for the Dems, let's try it out for ourselves. Next up, let's all put our hands in frying pans on the stove.

If you looked up "class" in the encyclopedia, you'd see her picture. Not President Bush's, not Dick Cheney's, not Condoleezza Rice's, but Ann's. Thank God Ann is HELPING!

[bellas_sister]

It was freezing on that stage.... he was cold. He was doing it throughout the whole show.

[bellas_sister]

Like wise, it was very nice to meet you too.... :)What a fun day it was....

Here is Doug From Upland's book signed by Ann Coulter sized down a smidgen.

From comments on this post.

RonDog,

I'm willing to give Carlin the benefit of the doubt. It WAS cold in that studio, and he was lightly dressed, so it's plausible that he was actually warming his hands.

It could easily have been symbolic as well, but overall, I think he was relatively well-behaved, and he was very polite to Ann, continually conversing with her during the breaks when everyone was standing around waiting for the musical act. I expected worse, and I think liberals did, too, judging from posts I saw at DU.

[RonDog]

Thanks for the interesting thread, RonDog.

This a good recap!

Thanks!

Apparently the ASSOCIATED PRESS thought so, too!

It is fairly obvious -- to ME, anyway -- that the AP writer read MY THREAD prior to writing HER ARTICLE

Ann Coulter: Contrived, or just plain outrageous?

June 19, 2006

By Jocelyn Noveck Associated Press

NEW YORK — In the 48 hours after Ann Coulter's comments bashing Sept. 11 widows hit the airwaves last week, searches for her name on Yahoo rocketed by 2300 percent. Protests came from Hillary Clinton, the 9/11 commission, New York's governor and Fox host Bill O'Reilly. Her new book shot to No. 1 on Amazon.com, where it remains.

For those who practice the art of outrageousness, there seems little downside to upping the ante — that's what their audiences want and expect. In other words, the old adage pretty much holds: There's no such thing as bad publicity.

In case anyone missed it, the furor centered on Coulter's remarks about four women who lost their husbands at the World Trade Center and later became active in public, pushing for the creation of the Sept. 11 commission investigating the attacks and supporting Sen. John Kerry for president.

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arrazies," the conservative pundit writes in "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," released last Tuesday. "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." Later, she adds: "And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies?"

Some wondered aloud: Had Coulter gone off the deep end? Others saw it as a well-honed marketing strategy. What's clear, though, is that Coulter had an image to sustain. In this age of the blogosphere, 24-hour cable TV and talk radio, it takes a lot to rise above the din. And when you've made a name based on being outrageous, you need to keep it up.

"There's something about the momentum of sustaining a reputation based on noise," says cultural critic Roger Rosenblatt of Time magazine. "Someone like Coulter, in order to sustain the reputation that she's forged for herself, is likely to think 'What can I say now?' Eventually, how insulting can you get?"

Although Coulter is a unique package — the long blond hair, the little black dresses, the ideas delivered rapid-fire with stunning self-confidence — there are certainly others who have thrived via the art of outrageousness.

On the airwaves, Rush Limbaugh has been criticized for his comments on blacks, on feminists, on gays and, of course, liberals. Recently, he called the black student making rape accusations against Duke lacrosse players a "ho"; he later apologized. He's called feminists "femi-Nazis," and used the sound effect of a vacuum cleaner on his show to simulate abortion.

There's Howard Stern, the hugely popular "shock jock" (and best-selling author) whose material led to $1.7 million in FCC fines before he moved to satellite radio in January. Stern favors sexual and scatological talk and once prayed on air that the prostate cancer suffered by an FCC nemesis would spread to his lungs and kidneys — "that was me being outrageous," he was quoted as saying later. Last month, he was named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people.

In the TV-talk world, where Coulter thrives, the phenomenon is especially troubling, says popular culture analyst Jerry Herron.

"A patient, thoughtful, analytical person is made invisible in this world of sustained screaming," says Herron, a professor at Wayne State University. Nowadays, he says, you need to be "an ideologue with a very nice haircut." Or, perhaps, with long blond hair and a little black dress.

For those who practice the art of outrageousness, is ANY publicity bad publicity?

"Pretty much no, apart from a perp walk and a guilty verdict," says Jeff Jarvis, author of the BuzzMachine blog.

"That's the way the media world works now. You can write a book, say something outrageous, it gets picked up, and if you get attacked, well, that's what you WANT," Jarvis says. "'Please attack me' — it's the no-shame approach."

Coulter, who did not respond to the AP's request for comment, hasn't always been rewarded for her provocative persona — she was dropped by the National Review for anti-Muslim statements after Sept. 11 and by USA Today at the 2004 Democratic National Convention for describing the women in attendance as "hippie-chick pie wagons" (the long version was worse.)

But, of course, the utterings that got her in trouble did much to keep her in the public eye — and ring up better book sales.

Jarvis notes that the media plays a role by perpetuating outrageous statements, as many have pointed out in the past week.

If the media keeps reflexively quoting statements like those on the Sept. 11 widows, Jarvis says, "we become complicit in the little schemes" of those who make them.

"It's a hard line to draw," he says, "but it is not our job to be used."

"That sharp dressed guy in the middle certainly LOOKS LIKE a "money man!" :o)"

RonDog, THAT is...

Yes, I know his REAL NAME, too...

...but I do not have HIS PERMISSION to publish that PRIVATE INFORMATION on this PUBLIC FORUM.

Do YOU?

I have asked the Moderator to pull your post until you or I contact him, to confirm HIS intentions.

[Lee'sGhost]

Apparently he wasn't allowed to say it the first time. Moderator intrusion.

[RonDog]

Moderator intrusion.

LOL!

I have asked the Moderators to act MORE AGGRESSIVELY on this thread than they otherwise might...

...as our ADVERSARIES read this thread, too.

But the missing "You can say THAT again" post was one of my inadvertant DUPLICATE posts, that the Moderarors were kind enough to pull, to protect me from looking foolish. :o)

Thank you for the video clip. I have never seen the lady in action before. It was worth.Her looks alone don't impress me much because I am not attracted to blondes but she is superb in action and has a truly endearing Attitude.

[veronica]

Despite the rumors and conspiracy theories rising up from the "fever swamps" of the "barking moonbats" at Democratic Underground, Daily Kos and the Huffington Post...

To say nothing of the loony, FR-obsessed Coulter haters at ClownPosse. :)

Great job FReepers. I am sure Ann Coulter appreciated your support. And thanks for sharing the pix. Nice to put a face to a name, particularly regarding a few of my special buddies at FR.

[tame]

rondog, I have sme more pix to post as sson as I can. tracker, another friend, and I were sitting to your upper right wing row (no kidding) during the taping of the tonight show. We saw you sitting toward the middle left. I believe you were similarly situated to the last Jay Leno taping (actually it look like you were siting a little up a little higher).

We kept trying to get Leno's attention before the show so we could get a photo of him with the Birthday girl. The guy who got his photo with Jay was blessed because he got to sit in the Tonight Show seat. That was cool :o)

I got a photo with Jay on the tonight show floor when Rush Limbaugh was the guest around February, 1994. The crowd was REALLY in Rush's corner back then "o)
