Open Line Friday!!!!

[MaestroLC]

MATTHEWS: Welcome back to HARDBALL. We`re out here enjoying the First Amendment at HARDBALL Plaza with the controversial Ann Coulter. Let`s get some questions for Ann and her new book, "Godless: The Religion of Liberals." First question.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Ann. I`m just wondering how you can call yourself a Christian or even look at yourself in the mirror in the morning and use words like the ones you`ve just used to describe Al Gore. Just curious. Go.

COULTER: Which Biblical command does joking violate? And you`re a big Christian I`m guessing.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think pure hatred violates, spewing hateful rhetoric violates a lot of Biblical commands.

COULTER: Yes, no. Well, I`ll try to adopt your charm.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Good luck.

[ChicagoConservative27]

This guy is fricking nuts.

[mysto]

Oops... posted the wrong link. The one I posted is another video of the same guys stealing bikes in NYC though.

[Fawn]

TAINT-ENUFF!

[CSM]

Boy am I glad I didn't head over to youtube for the kerry beat down! I would have missed the "taint enuff" guy!

[mysto]

DimocRATS have lost three national elections in a row. TAINT-ENOUGH!!!

[ChicagoConservative27]

I'm tried of Harry Reid. STFU.

[MaestroLC]

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ann, I wanted to know, how do you face opposition from minority groups when sometimes they take your comments out of context and also, what do you think about sometimes when opposition says things like, for instance, Indian-Americans or other groups like that?

COULTER: I actually -- I mean, I have not gotten that much opposition from minority groups, especially on this book tour and, in fact, I just cited -- sorry Chris, my favorite liberal, Michael Eric Dyson, is the one liberal I`ve now done two long interviews with, who asks me about the content of my book and not the words I use.

And I was the first conservative speaker in a historically black college this year, Philander Smith. I haven`t particularly gotten much opposition from minority groups. I get a lot of opposition from liberals.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But, like, what do you think about, like, when liberals say things about like Indian-Americans working at 7-Eleven or ...

COULTER: Oh, a Joe Biden reference. Well, that`s funny, but it`s not as funny as Howard Dean placing the Book of Job in the wrong testament. Another one of those God-believing Democrats of yours, Chris.

MATTHEWS: Well they`re not of mine.

[PogySailor]

Democrats still selling empty boxes.

Taint enough indeed.....

[Clint N. Suhks]

Do you have the rest of that exchange when she calls her "little Miss Smarty Pants"?

[MaestroLC]

COULTER: It`s manifestly obvious and not contested by anyone except when you`re a defending and love Bill Clinton.

MATTHEWS: But the one about Al Gore is -- but the Gore -- but you`ve got to delineate these things. Is Al Gore being the guy that you said he was, is that description ...

COULTER: That was a joke.

MATTHEWS: OK, good.

COULTER: Thus the audience laughed except Little Miss Smarty Pants here.

MATTHEWS: For that comment, she gets a followup.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know what, I guess there`s not a lot else I can say to convince you, so that`s fine.

MATTHEWS: Thank you.

It's not just college for all. If you read the plan that the DLC has written and think about the incentives that they've set up, it get worse. They've set up some perverse incentives that incentivise watering down curriculum even further and just pumping out people with worthless degrees. Their fed money will go up if they do that. The Dems are really dangerous. Hillary Clinton was part of the team that wrote that plan, I believe. They also came up with numerous ways to communize retirement planning, home buying, and other things. What they want to do, if enacted, would destroy the US economy.

[MaestroLC]

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I want to get your thoughts on Kofi Annan this week, basically coming out and demanding that Israel abide by a cease-fire, funded by the U.N., but meanwhile, Kofi Annan, after three years of Muslims beating down the black Muslims in the Darfur area, all Kofi Annan has done is stood there and claimed that there will be meeting after meeting, they take out the word ethnic cleansing and then we`re being lectured from liberals about hatred when I remember in 1994 when we had a liberal congress and a liberal president, they did nothing about Rwanda.

COULTER: Right, Kofi Annan and the U.N. peacekeepers have done a terrific job keeping the peace, and as you know, Israel mistakenly bombed some of them a few days ago. I think most Americans are looking at that and hoping they can hear about the installation on 42nd street.

[ChicagoConservative27]

Very scary. Thanks for the information. They would destroy health care too.

[rightinthemiddle]

Would "The World" be calling for a cease-fire if Israel was LOSING?

[American Quilter]

Thanks for posting the exchange between Ann and Matthews, Maestro! She's fabulous. Matthews is an idiot.

[Clint N. Suhks]

The black guy was awesome wasn't he?

I was hoping Ann would have complimented his question.

[Christian4Bush]

Re: Mr. Beaver on Rush's show... (ala "taint enough")...

He claimed that "54 senators in the United States Senate? 'Taint enough!"

Well, part of the Dims "new direction" should include a math lesson. The Dims have 44 seats, not 54.

And that's "quite enough".

[RasterMaster]

I've had enough of the DUmmies for the day.

[A.Hun]

No Raster...'taint enough yet!


Bwahahaha
