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.

You Anne Coulter sycophants need to really get a grip. There is more in life than salivating over a skinny woman who is the Michael Moore of extreme fringe on the right.
"Coulter noted Barack Obama’s popularity briefly. She said his biggest selling point was “he is one of the least dangerous people I know named Hussein.”
“His first big accomplishment was being born half-black,” Coulter said. “He wouldn’t be running for President if he weren’t half-black.’ "
“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.”
She leaps to Ron Paul credibility levels with a remark like that.
To coin a phrase...”Go now and die in what way seems best to you...”
I’m no fan of McCain, but he is certainly no Hitler. Comparing people you dislike to Hitler is a cliche and is also immature. There are enough ways to attack McCain without resorting to childishness.
You are wise. Logic and reason is blocked when people are angry. We really need some of both right now. Ann is fanning the flame of anger. It is very distructive.
1) She will vote and campaign for Hillary
2) She is comparing McCain to Hitler
The “conservative” media continues to shine.
Laura Ingraham claiming Mitt Romney was a “conservative’s conservative”
Sean Hannity endorsing Rudy and then Romney, the two biggest liberals in the GOP race
The list goes on and on. What a disgrace.
Ann is extremely extremely smart. I sure won’t let what a few people on a board change my mind about her, she is my hero. And if she does wild sometimes, that is fine too. She is the best.
she belongs with britney.
She needs to shut the F&*% up.
Godwin’s law
Did that not change after McCain Amnesty.
I’ll take Ann, Laura, Rush & Sean over the current crop of politicians anyday.
Quite.
I don’t feel like setting myself on fire just yet.
Maybe later. But not yet.
I'm sorry, the Rosie that has not quite yet mastered the concept that steel melts? The Rosie that thinks the President gave her a staph infection? That Rosie?
Ann's a loose cannon but I don't think she deserves that now, do you?
Actually I was putting Ann, and Rush, and Sean and even Jim Dobson in the Denethor camp.
We need Gandalf to come along and whack ‘em with a stick.
Oh contrare! she is so right on the money. It’s just that you blind people don’t get it.
We get it, and she is right on many points. It is what you do about it that counts.
Maybe she meant disillusioned Republicans were Stalin and Hillary was Churchill.
