Coulter on Palin: Let’s face it, she’s probably not electable

Interesting segment, not because Coulter’s advancing any new criticisms of Palin but because she’s willing to acknowledge openly the political risk on the right in criticizing her in the first place. According to Coulter, conservatives refuse to challenge Palin publicly because they don’t want to deal with the hate mail from her supporters. That’s part of it, I’m sure — by now, all columnists and bloggers know what awaits after criticizing Palin or, say, Ron Paul — but I suspect the better part is that there’s simply no faster ticket to RINOville among some grassroots conservatives than uttering a discouraging word about Sarah. It’s the ultimate “one of us” litmus test; not even a right-winger as stalwart and confrontational as Coulter is immune, apparently, from the inevitable establishment/RINO/sellout/”Beltway cocktail party” nonsense afterward. That said, I’m curious why she’s speaking up now. Has she reached the point where she just doesn’t care anymore? Or is she so worried about the election that she’s willing to lose some fans in the interest of maximizing the GOP’s advantage?

Exit quotation: “She’s become sort of the Obama of the tea party, she’s just ‘The One’ to a certain segment of right-wingers.” Click the image to watch.

Sorry I’m not addicted to the Palin cult of personality as so many here are...

You demean yourself with that statement.

As for coulter, I never once took a second out of my life to ask myself what ann coulter might think of anything...ever. And I can’t think of a single time I ever thought she was funny...or right....about anything either. Sure ain’t gonna start now.

Watch the undefeated. You might gain some insight

Thank you
I am a major fan of hers
and can understand the dichotomy between family and service
but I'm not the one to convince...

Palin’s emergence has left her in the shadows.

Polls are for strippers and political pundiots. This from the same woman who believes Christie is the only one who can win. Those polls she is pointing to are extremely phony.

Pray for America

I know I've lost respect for a lot of people who I thought were smarter than what they show now...

I've lost respect for a lot of the posters on FR.

Perhaps she should have spent more time brushing up her resume instead of going the celebrity reality tv route. A lot of the problem people have with her is the choices she made after she resigned.

I think we need to keep in mind that many of her bashers are not of the Tea Party but are supporters of the corruption wing of the Republican party. At least that's what they say to me when they continually defend the status quo

I'm to the point of voting for anyone who isn't a Washington insider, When I hear today that Boehner and McConnell where open to "Infrastructure Investments" I about puked. That's nothing but a funding plan for the corrupt Union thugs like Jimmy Hoffa Jr. Not a single penny of tax payer dollars should go to any Union PERIOD, if they can't survive on the dues they extort from their members, they should die off like any other parasite

Coulter takes her marching orders from her long time true and loyal friend Bill Maher. And she percieves Palin to be the #1 threat to her boy Cristie.

Well, it is a bit soon to say anything since Palin has yet to announce. If she announces, she will have to get on stage with the others. Interesting to see how she performs in such a setting.

It's very unfair to Palin, and it's unjustified, but it's just too high a hill.

If she manages to climb that hill, what will be your objection then?

Heck she is pals with Bill what`s his name on HBO. Laura Ingraham is no friend of Gov Palin either.

I have no use for Coulter or Ingraham

When Ann joined GOProud, I was very concerned for her. Did she jump the shark to attract attention? GOOProud is a Trojan horse to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. It is all about federal workers getting benefits for their same-sex spouses. Such a move would break the bank on the cost of our federal workers.

I was also concerned about the direction that ex-chairman David Keene had taken CPAC. From some very good inside information about Keene, I am glad he is no longer the chairman. I am glad that a vote by the American Conservative Union board has ousted GOProud from CPAC sponsorship.

I am hoping that Ann distances herself from GOProud. If she is doing a surveillance job on the gay network, that would be useful is she were to produce an expose of the true gay agenda. I hope that is what she is up to. If not, I believe she is making frivolous use of her life by a group that only wishes to use her.

One thing I am sure of: Romney as president means more of the same thing we have had since about 1989.
