Ann Coulter Responds to Media Matters Attacks (The Pile-On-Coulter Continues)

Ann Coulter Responds to Media Matters Attacks


The far left attack dog Media Matters for America is obviously unhappy with Ann Coulter’s new book “Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America.” published a 6,000 word compilation of a dozen alleged lies contained in her book which unmasks some of the left’s sleaziest tactics.

Media Matters, according to widely respected pollster Frank Luntz is “one of the most destructive organizations associated with American politics today … They are vicious. They only understand one thing: attack...”

Newsmax asked Ms. Coulter to respond to each attack on her meticulously researched book, and she agreed.

Here is each Media Matters claim, followed by Ms. Coulter's response, point-by-point.

Media Matters: Coulter claims that two black students who engaged in a hoax by hanging a black doll from a noose were "immediately praised" by "liberals," but the sources she cites do not support this claim.

Coulter: “Just because something is not footnoted does not make it false. I am one of the few writers who includes footnotes as service to my readers.

“But as long as you ask, among the praise for the perpetrators of the hoax hate crime was a statement by the president of Duke in a baccalaureate address reprinted in the Duke magazine.

President Nannerl Keohane cited the hoax as a ‘protest,’ listing it with other admirable protest activities pursued by Duke students that year. She went on to note that in response to the protests, ‘“[p]rogress has been made.’”

Uh... right.

You’ve obviously not cinsidered whether YOU’D want to be involved in a domestic ‘discussion’ with her. She’d give you her side of it in two pages, single-spaced, with footnotes to back it up. THEN what?

“Yes, dear.”

THAT’S what.

I’m not saying she isn’t nice, or isn’t ever loving, or even sensuous; just that being under the same roof with her for the rest of your life MIGHT not turn out like the photographs seem to imply.

It takes a tiger to win a tiger, and — while there’s no shortage of chest-pounders claiming to be tigers — when it comes down to where the metal meets the meat, most are made of paper.

Ann has more cajones than any of the Republicans in DC.

Amen!

Ann Coulter not only writes great books and columns but is unafraid to go on liberal turf and confront the leftists waiting to attack her. They usually fail to dent her credibility. Media Matters won't, either.

At this point in her career, Ann Coulter is hardly an unknown. Those of us who admire her intelligence and wit as well as her absolutely fearless attitude toward the army of leftists that try to destroy her and/or her credibility will support her by buying her books and reading her columns. Those on the left will reflexively and ineffectively attack her, as the Soros-funded website Media Matters has. They sure won't be purchasing her books, except to burn them.

No matter. Ann Coulter's reputation for truth and the guts to confront the liberals who try to discredit her with weasel words and twisting her statements (written and spoken) convince only the already-convinced. They are talking to themselves. Ann, while her audience is primarily conservatives, keeps getting the word out and incrementally encroaches on the web of lies that surrounds the leftist positions. She is doing a great service while making a nice living and, tangentially, providing conservatism with an attractive 'face'.

Thanks, Ann.

Soros funds Media Matters. All you need to know.

He’s sure diversified and helped fund so much clutter out there, seems like he’s into everything. He’s one weird duck.

The GOP isn’t worth fighting for anymore.

Look at the current illuminaries - Collins, Snow, Graham, McCain, Pawlenty - Democrat suck-ups all.
Only a handfull of GOP politicians have the courage to support their base consituents - Duncan Hunter, Sarah Palin, Jindhal, Cantor, Sandford.

Can anybody name any more???

“Ann has more cajones than any of the Republicans in DC. Anyone know where a real Republican with spine, guts, and gonads is hiding? If you know one, please shove them out front for all of us to see. We need to have some faith in our party. Wimps one and all. Thank God we have real men and women in our military or we’d be further down the sewer than we already are. The current crop of Republicans shame our forefathers. They don’t have the guts to stand up for America and their stupidity to trust any Liberal is a fool’s errand.”

That about sums it up, ExTexasRedhead.

Anyone on FR that has an “in” with Ann, please pass on our praise. Anyone being attacked hourly by America’s own “domestic terrorists” aka Liberals, needs all our support and kind words.

I wonder why Ann bothers?

It's no different than arguing with first graders about grammar, syntax, and the difference between an opinion and a lie.

There is no way to win, and their attention span is so erratic...

Why doesn’t Ann get married and have children? Isn’t her biological clock ticking? Anyone know? I’m just curious.

Please! She is one of the most valuable players on our team and a woman of surpassing intellect. Your implication that her life just can't be good enough for herself without a man is seriously retrograde.

Judging from Ann's past performance on Google trends around the time of her PREVIOUS book launches, we have not yet seen the REAL media storm for THIS book -- yet:

For comparison, here is the timeline for her previous book launches, from amazon.com's "Ann H. Coulter" page:

. . . . Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right . . . . Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right . . . . Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War... . . . . How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): . . . . Godless: The Church of Liberalism . . . . If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans

October 1, 2002 - September 16, 2003 - October 5, 2004 - October 5, 2004 - July 10, 2007 - August 26, 2008

No, it’s not. The most conservative thing a woman can do is to have a happy successful marriage and raise beautiful happy conservative children. It’ll be lonely for Ann to miss out on that. She could still have her career, and what a witness it would be for her to have a lovely family as well.

You sound like a feminist. No true conservative would have taken offense at my question. :)

Another fun thing to do would be to check out Ann's books and audiotapes from the library and observe the sour face of the librarian.

MM: Coulter also falsely suggests that no witnesses supported Kerry's account that his convoy came under enemy fire during the March 13, 1969, actions for which he was awarded the Bronze Star.

Coulter: “No one - not even Kerry - now supports Kerry's original "no man left behind" story in his Iowa ad, which was also told by Rassmann. As I say, the only three living officers from that mission other than Kerry himself - Pees, Thurlow, Chenoweth – as well as 11 enlisted men say there was no return fire for Kerry to come under. I am not making a ‘suggestion,’ I am stating facts.”

That is correct. The full story of how the Swift Vets exposed the Kerry campaign's "No Man Left Behind" canard can be found in the relevant chapter of To Set The Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry, available as a pdf at the link below:

Chapter 10 - An Incident on the Bay Hap River

Indeed!!! Ann and Sarah have more cojones than McCain for sure, and it seems that Cornyn is growing a pair too, he wants Reid to authorize the release of the recording between Reid and Blago.
