Is Ann Coulter in Hardball's "Boat"? (Coulter banned by Matthews)
Media Bistro ^ | Nov 2, 2007 | Gail Shister

Looks like Hardball is playing hardball with Ann Coulter.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews says it will be "a while" before the incendiary conservative pundit is invited back to the show.

The turning point, Matthews says, was Coulter's controversial remarks — which many perceived as anti-Semitic — on CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" Oct. 8.

"To me, it has to do with how many people are really offended; who tell me to my face when I bump into them," Matthews said in an interview before Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate in Philadelphia. "I'm affected by that."

Coulter "can be funny and clever with her sarcasm, or she can be hurtful," he says. "She doesn't just do evil as her number. You never know what bell she's going to ring. She doesn't know what bell she's going to ring."

Asked to respond to Matthews' comments, Coulter said, through her publicist: "Who?"

At Hardball, an unwelcome guest is "in the boat." As in, sent into exile at sea like Mutiny on the Bounty's Captain Bligh. (Matthews won't say if Coulter's in the boat.)

"Some are in the boat, some get out of the boat," he says. "We change our minds. We don't actually advertise who's in the boat." Dick Morris, now with Fox News, has been waterlogged for 10 years, Matthews says, because of a "blasphemous" remark on the show.

"I'm not going to dignify my punishment schedule. I'm not the high priest of deciding."

Well Chrissy if you'd look where you're going, you wouldn't offend so many people bumping into them. Idiot.

Can't have anybody on your show that constantly makes you look stupid especially during an election cycle, and she does it beautifully. LOL!

Run Crissy run, you can't play hardball not with the big girls.

LOL, he is only hurting his hurting show by banning Ann. The only time I’ve ever turned him on is when I read that Coulter was going to be on with him.

If I recall my history correctly, those left adrift in the boat survived in what is called by many one of the most brilliant act of navigation in maritime history. Bligh was also exonerated from charges and those who took part in the mutiny were court marshaled in absentia

Bligh and his loyal crew members crossed over one thousand miles of open sea and landed in a Dutch colony.

Another RN ship was eventually dispatched to Tahiti to bring back the mutineers. Those still on Tahiti were taken into custody but on the way back to England that ship sank after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef. Eventually the castaways were rescued and returned to England, tried and hung.

Fletcher Christian and his followers settled on Pitcairn Island where their descendants live to this day.

Matthews knows that Ann Coulter made no anti-Semitic remarks on the “The Big Idea,” hosted by Donny Deutsch. However, we are seeing an example of the Left’s promotion of the Big Lie. As soon as Ann Coulter finished her comments on “The Big Lie” show, The National Jewish Democratic Council weighed in with a petition asking other broadcast news organizations not to give Coulter a forum. “While Ann Coulter has freedom of speech, news outlets should exercise their freedom to use better judgment,” said council Executive Director Ira N. Forman. “Just as media outlets don’t invite those who believe that Martians walk the Earth to frequently comment on science stories, it’s time they stop inviting Ann Coulter to comment on politics.”

They will continue with this Big Lie until the cows come home because they are Stalinists who will use the Jewish people to divide and conquer all religion in this country. They are using the technique called "Projectioning." It is a classic technique: "Acuse others of what you do"-Karl Marx. What they are is anti-God and they will use any devise to rid God from this country. We can quote Bible and verse to show that Ann Coulter was speaking correctly about Christianity. Just ask the Messianic Jews. And they are not anti-Semitic. They are just being perfected—by Christ, that is.

I am Jewish and I really don’t want people who don’t practive Judaism - such as Chris Matthews - defending me and my religion. Ann, you are welcome in my house! Matthews, however, has been banned for years.

I am a JEW FOR JUDAISM and I consider myself “perfected”, thank you. I am sorry you do not know the Torah and were not present on Mount Sinai when we received it. However, having said that, Ann is welcome in my humble abode.

I recall Matthews’ spitting in Michelle Malkin’s face several years ago. I phoned his station to protest and said to whoever answered the phone “... and please tell Chris to stop dying his hair” and the lady cracked up laughing.

you know, I was at the hospital a few months ago and passed a bunch of very elderly folks in a room. They were all asleep and the tv was on.

Yep, Chrissy was on the tv...He’s a favorite of coma patients and people in the day wards of mental health facilities.
