Ann Coulter was in Hollywood, California this morning at Paramount Studios to appear on the Dr. Phil show. Southern California's RonDog coordinated a group effort to support Ann. About thirty members of Free Republic showed up at the studios around 7:30 am.
Jim Robinson, his wife Sheila, and thier son Chris came down from Fresno to join in. Also attending were a number of the Youngs Republicans from UCLA. Ann didn't have to want for more support. Thanks to RonDog, we had her back.
I would say we made up between 25 and 33% of the audience. Ann's contributions to the show were supported vigorously. Also appearing the same program were Alan Colms, Scott McLellan, and another gentleman whose forte was economics. Sadly, I am drawing a blank on his name and organization right now. Other contributors to this thread will let you know.
The topic of the program was what do Americans need to know to do well under this administration. Dr. Phil asked some pretty good questions, and moderated in a manner that allowed Ann to make a good presentation, even when other guests were appearing with her.
Deborah Norville made a video appearance on the program, that lauded Obama's speach considerably more than was deserved.
Dr. Phil wasn't a pushover for Ann, but he wasn't what I would call antagonistic by any means. He asked some pointed questions related to her style of writng, her opinons of Obama, and her overall outlook. All in all, I thought he did a very nice job. As for Ann, she hit the ball out of the park a few times. I thought she represented herself and our views quite well.
It was interesting for me to take note of the people who clapped in support of Obama. At times some of these same people were clapping at comments Ann had made. That was nice to see.
This program will air tomorrow, January 22nd, 2009. I would urge folks to take the time to watch the show. I think you'll find the presentation to be a nice one.
Ann touched on the topic of people who like to play the victim these days. The subject of the impact of single mothers was mentioned at one point, and Dr. Phil asked Ann to come back in the middle of February to participate in a pannel discussing that issue.
After the program, Ann joined us for an early lunch at a local restaurant. We packed the place to overflowing. Ann mingles with the attendees. She posed for lots of pictures and talked to most of the people who attended.
Much thanks to RonDog for coordiantion our support for Ann. Thanks to Jim, Shiela, and Chris for coming down.
A good time was had by all.
