Coulter, Harry Take Each Other On NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2009(CBS) Ann Coulter says liberals should look in the mirror.

In her latest book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America," the conservative firebrand stirs up controversy again, contending that liberals in America try to play victim when really, they're the bullies.

While she's at it, she points fingers at what she calls the liberal media.

"(The book is) basically about how victimhood is rewarded and everyone wants to be a victim," Coulter told CBS News. "It's about the rewards and praise you get for being a victim and the way liberals use victimhood and they oppress others."

At one point in "Guilty," Coulter remarks about an interview of Sen. Ted Kennedy by Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith in which Smith asks Kennedy if Barack Obama is at increased risk of being assassinated because he's African American. She dismisses the notion, saying presidential assassinations have been the work of left-wingers or people with no political leanings at all.

*** I never saw a host invade a guest’s personal space as many times as Harry. Never. He constantly pointed, leaned over to her to confront her, used his hands in off putting gestures forcefully, not once, dozens of times. ***

A few years back on Hannity & Colmes, the lefty (male) guest was sitting next to Ann and he was on a typically long lefty rant. When he finished Ann looked him in the eye and said...

Are you done staring at my boobs.

I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

They have to pretend you are children when in truth they never got past the age of 14.

Bump for later

I don’t see what’s so controversila about Ann’spoint. Democrats have always got into power by convincing the masses that ‘they’ are victims. Republican’s get into power by convincing the masses that ‘they’ are in control of their own lives. I never buy the Dems message but, as in this last election, it is an effective political sometimes.

One of my favorite sarcastic sayings is, “I won’t be free until the government sends me a check.” Keep going Annn.

I have asked this question before but no one seems to remember but me. Harry Smith was interviewing Newt Gingrich on one of the morning shows, Harry asked a question and the camera panned to Harry and he was bent over laughing at Newt. After that Harry Smith was banished from in front of the camera and it was years before he was seen again. I would be happy if he was working at a convenience store in the bad part of town, I detest Harry Smith.

Wouldn't you just love to see a Rachel Maddow v Ann Coulter catfight.

Talk about ratings, NBC shows it is more concerned with its advocacy journalism than any real exchange of ideas and thoughts.

[No!]

No wonder NBC banned her... :)

She's WAY too smart and fast for them, and what she says is the TRUTH!

How can they fight that without insults and smears?

I've been her fan since the EARLY Human Events columns in 1995, and she's better than ever!

It's SO funny how she makes the libs just go nutz! :)

Smith tried to put her down at the end by commenting that “serious” conservative National Review authors don’t like her. She responded they’re upset just because they can’t sell as many books as she can.

The point is, we need both “serious” conservatives and Ann to counteract liberal dominance in the media. Some would says she misrepresents conservatism and gives it a bad name. But instead she points out the hypocrisy of liberals in a way most people understand and her humor (sometime outrageous) makes it all the easier to read her books.

To anger a conservative, tell him a lie,
to anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

[MrB]

To defeat the left, expose the left.

Their true agenda and beliefs would not be accepted by 80% of the country.

[tioga]

I highly recommend going to the site and watching the video, Ann is at her usual best. I may even buy her book just to tick the left off. Go Ann!

[MrB]

calls peoples children illagitamate

not to mention, "illiterate"

[Doc Savage]

“Man” against Babe????????

[khnyny]

Very well said. I agree completely.

[Philo1962]

Conservatives must take their gloves off and expose the Muslim Messiah, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of the waste in DC.

I think the best opportunity for this is the confirmation hearing for Obama's attorney general nominee, Eric Holder. He has links to several very shady episodes in Democratic Party lore: the Marc Rich pardon, the Elian Gonzalez case, the David Koresh compound and, of course, Rod Blagojevich.

**** The point is, we need both “serious” conservatives and Ann to counteract liberal dominance in the media. ... Some would says she misrepresents conservatism and gives it a bad name.

You're right IMO.
And there's many of those 'Ann is bad' hand wringers here on FR.
I think they post from the Country Club right before tee-off, or the Tennis Pro shows up for the lesson of the day ;-)

(but unfortunately, Ann has bigger gonads than most republican (cough) 'men'. Except for the likes of Dick Cheney and Tom Delay they're nancy boys.)

[Oldpuppymax]

One only need speak the truth to expose and defeat the left. And we elect limp-wristed republicans who can’t even manage that! Astounding.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I just figured something about Ann and the constant Freeper question as to why she appears on little watched lib's shows like Bill Maher’s. It's practice for the big shows like this. Genius. Those forays into leftyville are like a scrimmage game to her.

Sorry, Geek Speak (of which I know very little) for completely "owns" him. It comes from online gaming nuts who make typos when typing really rapidly. Some typos are so common that they become part of the vernacular.

Wikipedia has an article on this...I think that's where I found it.

[Ghengis]

Checked CBS’ link and the video is “no longer available.” Musta’ been really bad for Spitty Smitty.
