Unlike McCain, Hitler 'Had a Coherent Tax Policy,' Coulter Says By Matt Purple CNSNews.com Correspondent February 08, 2008
(Clarification: Ann Coulter's appeared at the Omni Shoreham hotel but not at CPAC.)
Washington (CNSNews.com) - In a speech at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., Friday, just down the hall from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), author Ann Coulter said that the primary difference between Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Adolf Hitler was that Hitler "had a coherent tax policy."
Coulter compared a potential alliance between disillusioned conservative Republicans and Sen. Hillary Clinton to the alliance between Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin during World War II, which was formed to defeat Hitler.
"I'm not comparing McCain to Hitler," she added. "Hitler had a coherent tax policy."
The remark received wild applause from the audience of about 500 conservative activists. Many in the crowd seemed hostile to the idea of a McCain presidency and cheered Coulter's attacks on the Arizona senator.
Coulter also criticized McCain for his sponsorship of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, accused him of wanting amnesty for illegal immigrants, and mocked his frequent touting of his military service in Vietnam.
"Couldn't we pick a POW who doesn't want to shut down Guantanamo?" she said.

I have to say, this morning I listened to the whole address and in all fairness she did actually admit that she would vote for McCain vs a Dem surrender-monkey, albeit grudgingly.
She still sometimes sounded a like a lame stand-up comic.
Want to put any money on that?
And by the way. Truth has nothing to do with the way Coulter is talking lately.
If she really said this she needs therapy.
Good one.
So, is this the McCainiacs thread?
However, McCain is absolutely fair game for a "Shoop Da Whoop!" GIF:
The McCain supporters are few on this forum and have little saying or power, you guys are in control so do not reverse the roles.
