ANN COULTER: THIS IS THE DOWNER WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! (It's The Media, Stupid!)

THIS IS THE DOWNER WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
January 7, 2009

After NBC canceled me "for life" on Monday -- until seven or eight hours later when the ban was splashed across the top of The Drudge Report, forcing a red-faced NBC to withdraw the ban -- an NBC insider told The Drudge Report: "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," explaining that "it's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."
 
In point of fact, I'm not particularly critical of Obama in my new book. I'm critical of the media for behaving like a protection racket for Obama rather than the constitutionally protected guardians of our liberty that they claim to be. So I think what the NBC insider meant to say is that NBC is not interested in anyone so highly critical of NBC right now. It's such a downer, it's just not the time, and it's not what their audience wants right now, either.
 
In fact, I think my book is the downer America has been waiting for! So herewith, I present an excerpt from the smash new book out this week, "Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America":
 
When the Obama family materialized, the media was seized by a mass psychosis that hadn't been witnessed since Beatlemania. OK! magazine raved that the Obamas "are such an all-American family that they almost make the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional." Yes, who can forget the madcap episode when the Bradys' wacky preacher tells them the government created AIDS to kill blacks!
 
Still gushing, OK! magazine's crack journalists reported: "Mom goes to bake sales, dad balances the checkbook, and the girls love Harry Potter" -- and then the whole family goes to a racist huckster who shouts, "God damn America!"
 
Months before network anchors were interrogating vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the intricacies of foreign policy, here is how NBC's Brian Williams mercilessly grilled presidential candidate Barack Obama: "What was it like for you last night, the part we couldn't see, the flight to St. Paul with your wife, knowing what was awaiting?"

To me shrill = direct.

I'm tired of our side caving and trying to be liked in the process of hoping to get our point across. I ADMIRE her ability to cut the crap and say it like it is....and then fabulously backing everything up with FACTS.

LAUER: Let me get to Roland Burris first. Let me get to Roland Burris first. What’s going on here? Has Rod Blagojevich pulled a fast one on the Democratic leadership here?

COULTER: I am like Roland Burris. I was turned away but I’m back...”

ROFLMAO!

“The media’s fawning over Obama knew no bounds, and yet, in the midst of the most incredible media conspiracy to turn this jug-eared clodhopper into some combination of Winston Churchill and a young Elvis, you were being a bore if you mentioned the liberal media.”

This sentence exceeds the limit for pure distilled essence of unvarnished truth unwelcome to liberals.

Don't mistake my criticism as an attack on her beliefs, facts or opinions or an attack on you. She is an excellent writer, but her interviews were much better a decade ago when she wasn't nearly as famous a personality as she is now.

I also appreciate Ann for being a one-woman wrecking crew. But, she is up against people who talk all day every day for a living, while she is a writer. They are better at these interviews and it shows. She has a better command of the facts and her philosophy and belief system are absolutely correct, but weasels like Lauer easily knock her off her game and too often the facts get lost. IF her interview/debate skills were as strong as her writing, I would not have these criticisms.

She did much better than you describe in your posts on this thread.

You can find a lot of people that agree with you though, although most of them post on liberal sites.

You are welcome to your opinions of course, but they don't pan out as very valid.

She has done quite well in her plethora of media appearances these last couple of days.

Thanks for letting me be welcome to my opinions. It's too bad you feel the need to take mine so personally, but thanks for offering me yours and the not so subtle liberal comparason.

I didn't take your opinions personally at all.

Your chose to express your negative opinions about this subject so I took the opportunity to clear them.

There is a liberal comparison, so I pointed it out. No attempt at subtly at all.

And there is a difference between mentioning something and the connotation of "letting."

The "welcome" statement was to make sure you didn't think I had any problem with you expressing your thoughts.

It's hard to tell is someone is going to be overly sensitive to a counter opinion.

Your certainly welcome.

You're welcome, too. And you're right about people being overly sensitive to opinions they don't agree with.

Fans often won't tolerate anything but praise for whatever or whomever they are fans of or silence. Anything else is just like a personal attack on them.

No sacred cows; we all can improve our game, even Ann Coulter.

All your videos have been removed from Popmodal. I sense a libtard jihad to flag any video of Ann as offensive.

This reminds me of the female reporters on the plane drooling of the annointed one.

When Obama broke his word and voted for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act bill (FISA), the Times' editorial began: We are shocked and dismayed by Sen. Obama's vote on ... oh, who are we kidding? We can't stay mad at this guy! Isn't he just adorable? Couldn't you just eat him up with a spoon? Is he looking at me? Ohmigod, I think he's looking at me!!!! Couldn't you just die?

Let me or knews_hound know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

Conservatives didn’t lose. Moderates, like you and McCain, lost.

Hello again GBA.

No moderates here. I want effective and while she does well in book sales for all the right reasons, conservatives have lost the White House, the Senate, the House and are nothing more than caricatures on shows like Lauer's.

No moderates here?

Oh there are plenty here, many of them in disguise. Liberals too.

And you seemed to take offense at any inkling that you may be a liberal.

And from your statement above, you certainly can't be a conservative.

Because surely you didn't lose the White House.

And I can't see you describing yourself as you describe all other conservatives, as just a caricature.

Conservative didn't lose the White House, they weren't even in the running.

There are only two viable parties that can win Presidential elections and neither one of them supports Conservatives.

So, technically the republicans lost the White House, not the conservatives.

Your using the "emotion card" when ever reasoned discussion comes along makes it easy for you to write people off as a waste of time.

IMO you have poorly vested that system, before with me and I notice with others too.

Come on, is everyone that disagrees with you "completely emotionally invested in something or someone?"

I think not.

I think peoples skills are important and Ann Coulter certainly is a great writer as you seem to almost say.

But no matter what greatness one rises to if they don't have "personality", it is all for naught.

Ann is highly gifted with personality, second only to her writing.
