Column: Coulter makes a mockery of politics

As the race for the 2008 Presidential election gains more and more ground each day, we find ourselves increasingly subjected to literal up-to-the-second coverage of the U.S. political arena. More often than desired, this barrage of “news” ends up to be nothing more than a coagulation of useless facts and figures accompanied by an endless stream of insults directed at your candidate of choice. Interviews are about as educational as watching 12 year olds argue about whose dad is cooler, normally consisting of three or more grown, educated men simultaneously trying to prove the others wrong by talking as loud as possible. Liberal bias or conservative bias, CNN or Fox News – mass media exists only to cater to those brave souls willing to aim low enough to attack the opposing individual’s very character. This type of high-brow, mature political dialogue has been an issue of especially high contention in recent presidential elections, and 2008 is no exception.

I do my best to maintain reasonable expectations for the public figures in my country. I assume most of them are remotely intelligent, and truly capable of listening if they’d only shut their mouths on occasion. I like to think that the pundits I see on television are reasonable people on the inside, and that I might even agree with some of their takes on many important issues.

However, there is one person in particular that serves as a towering exception to the rule: a cruel, heartless, close-minded individual who cannot and will never serve any good to humankind. I am, of course, talking about super-pundit and author Ann Coulter.

Since the recent execution of Saddam Hussein in 2006, Coulter is believed to be the most feared and last precursor to the coming of the Anti-Christ. Preaching a message of intolerance and hatred, Coulter chooses to prey on any group promoting any sort of equality, fairness, or compromise by making direct, personal attacks at her opponent. Coulter relies on her wit and her ability to interrupt others to convey her message, usually consisting of nothing more than a pile of ideological garbage. A staunch fascist, Coulter promotes many of the same ideas as her late male colleagues, including torture, imperialism, racism, intolerance of homosexuals, and a general hatred for any follower of Islam. Her loud mouth and ruthless attitude immediately propelled her to the summit of the media mountain, where she sits as the queen of the neoconservative movement.

Coulter has promoted the escalation of warfare in the Middle East, going so far as to encourage a takeover of the entire region and conversion of its people to Christianity. She has continually encouraged racial profiling and discrimination based on sexuality. In her most recent book, “Godless,” Coulter attacks four women widowed after 9/11, saying, “I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much.” She recently referred to John Edwards as a “f*****” and remains proud of it, despite pleas from Edwards to clean up her language and stick to the issues. Shameless and cold-blooded, Coulter’s purse has gotten fat as a direct result of her message of intolerance.

On a self-imposed mission from God, Coulter sees fit to usher out the rather important, constitutionally granted freedom from persecution based on race, religion, or cultural background and replace it with a theocracy bent on converting the entire world to Christianity and bombing anyone who disagrees. She claims to be waging a war on “liberals,” the umbrella term for anyone who disagrees with her ideology. The definition of Coulter’s “liberal” most closely resembles what a sane person would call a reasonable, pragmatic, progressive individual. You do not have to be liberal to be a “liberal,” the only requirement is that you disagree with any of the various moral wrongdoings Coulter actively endorses. As fundamentalist as any Ayatollah, Coulter may serve to be a greater threat to the American way of life than any terrorist. Monotonously divisive and inflammatory, “Ms. Right” is slowly eroding any remaining remnants of the motto, “United We Stand.”

If she swallows her pride and stumps for questionable issues the way Tony Snow does, I would not suggest she take the job.

You may like what you hear from Coulter, but the vast majority do not.

Must be another "silent majority"

Her loud mouth and ruthless attitude immediately propelled her to the summit of the media mountain, where she sits as the queen of the neoconservative movement.

Charlton Heston might be my president, but Ann Coulter is my queen!

[MrB]

That is true - I had never heard anything as pathetic as Snow trying to defend the immigration bill.

Duncan Hunter said it best: “In this case, Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view.... I think she’s closely approaching that level of being a great American.”

Ann Coulter does indeed approach Great American status. She is unfailingly perceptive, wise and witty, and seductively beautiful, but that’s not what really distinguishes her in the field of punditry. She was one of the first of very few who urged caution on the John Roberts nomination for the Supreme Court. That was prudent, and Roberts is showing signs of becoming a great Chief Justice.

But, more to the point, Ann Coulter earned the “greatness” honor when she courageously broke with the president and many fellow Republicans to denounce the Harriet Miers nomination. Almost single-handedly at first, she started the process that ended with Samuel Alito’s confirmation. Coulter’s momentous act, joined eventually by others, is changing the course of American history and is cementing the domestic part of President Bush’s everlasting legacy.

I am grateful for what she did—for her courage in speaking out, and I delight in the humor she brings to political discourse in her columns. And screw the MSM and the Dems who can’t take a joke or an insightful remark as she holds up her mirror to reflect on the nonsense that so often passes in Washington as normal behavior. Let them have their hissyfits.

Bless her. She brings great gifts to be shared. Ann Coulter is truly a Great American.

You people make me sick. It took 45 posts before a picture of Ann was posted. Here is another.

So Peebs (can I call you Peebs?) which political party subscribes “stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool” to the executive (centralization of authority)? Which party is that of taxation, regulation and political correctness(socioeconomic controls)? Which party deals with viewpoints in opposition by calling for firing, or banning of those viewpoints (censorship)? Which party sees individuals in terms of their race rather than theirselves (racism)?
___________

Both of them. At least based on the questions you’ve asked above.

I thought that politics WAS a mockery!!!

“The Islamic supremacist mindset must be put to rest.”

And history has shown, repeatedly, that it can only “put to rest” when the “mindset” has been demonstrated, in practical terms, to be bankrupt on every level you can imagine.

Islam, and everything it has built, every hope it holds out, every vision that it puts forth in defense of it’s continued exsitance, must be dismantled, brick-by-brick, and in the most disgusting and inhumane ways, in order to create the required “mindset” for fundamental change.

The only way to do this is to inflict suffering on an unimaginable scale,so as to make an alternative not only a viable option, but dammed attractive.

Just ask anyone (on the losing side) who survived the horrors of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan if their worldview and “mindset” would have changed if they were not reduced to drinking out of puddles and toying with thoughts of cannibalism, and see if I’m not right.

Peabrain Squires could use a class in Creative writing after attempting to read this pap. Mz Squires must have been completely outraged that Spitboy would attempt to Annbush Coulter in such a disgusting fashion. Ann Rocks the Lefties!

Well..vast could mean the millions of people who buy her books which go directly to number 1 on best seller lists It’s safe to assume people who buy her books like her...

Personally I have a huge poster of her hanging over my desk. It comforts me.

[Rummyfan]

Humor or not, Ann’s plan is a viable solution for islamic fascism.

[colorado tanker]

Annie is just following Walter Winchell’s prescription for getting famous - throw bricks at famous people. It’s working!

[JamesP81]

A good caption for that pic:

"When I came into the room, the libs put their hands in the air like this, due to them rightly fearing my great power..."

[Little Ray]

Politics mocks itself... it doesn’t need any help from the lovely and loquacious Ann Coulter to do that!

[JerseyDvl]

All Hail the Queen of Conservatism!
Godspeed Ann. They wouldn’t bark so loud if you didn’t hit the nail right on the head.

[Sir_Humphrey]

As fundamentalist as any Ayatollah, Coulter may serve to be a greater threat to the American way of life than any terrorist.

This is just so stupid, it's beyond words. How many people has Ann Coulter killed? How many bombs has she planted?

It just never ceases to amaze me how stupid some people are. If I were an Ayatollah, I'd be given thanks to Allah not only for idiots like this who can't differentiate between Jihadists and defenders of freedom, but more importantly for the idiots who'd believe them.

[gcruse]

I am not Coulter’s number one fan, but if anything deserves mockery, it’s politics.

[gcruse]

Do not play patty-cake with this woman!
It’s like one hand clapping a bag of tools.

[EyeGuy]

My post was in OBJECTION to Post 36 in which it was flatly stated that the vast majority do “NOT like what they hear from Coulter.”

I’m firmly in the AC camp.
