Coulter: Press Either 'Incompetent' or Full of 'Left-Wing Bias'
E&P ^ | 7/31/06 | staff

NEW YORK Ann Coulter has some regrets about the harsh comments she frequently makes.

"On a couple of occasions, I was too gentle," the Universal Press Syndicate columnist said in a Sunday interview with Jonathan Pitts of The Sun in Baltimore.

Coulter -- whose comments have included "jokes" about killing various people and groups -- was asked by The Sun to give a couple examples of the many times she says reporters misquote her. "It happens so much I don't keep track," Coulter replied.

Then, speaking of how she feels the press overplays or misrepresents news stories, Coulter added: "Either every single person working in the media today is thoroughly incompetent in every way, or this massive, daily misrepresentation is the result of left-wing bias throughout the media."

The Sun also asked Coulter about the pros and cons of her take-no-prisoners approach. "My thinking is that only trauma produces intellectual breakthroughs," she said. "The plus side is watching liberals get hissy; the downside is -- there really is no downside."

Coulter also told The Sun that "liberal ideology" is a "pack of lies"; Democrats are "sniveling, gutless little America-hater(s)"; "the best video I've seen was of Bush saying 's--t' at the G-8 conference"; and "there will be more people living in peace and freedom when 'W' leaves office than there were when 'W' took office."

In addition, Coulter quipped: "I'm a Christian first and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don't you ever forget it."

Democrats are "sniveling, gutless little America-hater(s)"

Don't see much wrong with that statement, except I'll exclude Zell Miller from that.

Sadly, not only are the two attributes not mutually exclusive, but demonstrably positively correlated.

Yeah well, it seems the Democrats already excluded Zell Miller, the same way they are not trying to exclude Joe Lieberman.

Yeah, well, I don't think I could think up a lie Colmes has told off the top of my head either. But if I listened to him for a while, I'm sure I could point out a few.

I would say equal amounts of both.

I've never seen her fumble too badly. When she brought up drunk Teddy killy Mary Jo on H&C, Colmes turned whiter than his usual pallid color. It was priceless.

He ain't no Democrat, I don't care what he says. There is nobody...nobody in the Democratic camp who understands the battle we are in better than he does.

He is excluded by default.

I like Ann, but she goes over the edge too many times....she seems to be indulging herself rather than using her notoriaty to help the cause/educate the masses...

Michelle Malkin, OTOH, is a pleasure...

"Don't you ever forget it!" Now THAT is what I call a response to "Tain't enough!"
