Blaming of the Shrew (Mega-Coulter bashing)
Washington Post ^ | 08/15/2002 | Richard Cohen

Posted on 08/14/2002 9:45:21 PM PDT by Pokey78

May I say something about Ann Coulter? She is a half-wit, a termagant, a dimwit, a blowhard, a worthless silicone nothing, physically ugly and could be likened to Eva Braun, who was Hitler's mistress. As it happens, these are all descriptions or characterizations Coulter uses for others in her book, "Slander." It ought to be called "Mirror."

Demonize those who would tell the truth about them!

What the article proved is yet again, the left can dish it out but they can't take it. His argument that the majority of Presidents in the modern era have been Republicans cuts no ice. That's not what Ann was talking about; what she was talking about was how the media demonised anyone right of centre. And this she proved in spades. Whether the electorate swallows it is neither here nor there. The fact that Cohen thinks that the media is unbiased because the nation elects conservative presidents is laughable indeed. The nation elects conservative presidents because it rejects what the media has to say.

But the idea that the people in flyover country might not take what he says as Gospel never occured to him, I suppose.

Regards, Ivan

No, you may not. You're not fit company for humans.

Of course that never occurred to him!
But I had my hot little fingers on the smokin' keyboard and I told him as much! LOL!

Thanks Pokey, for the ping. I should probably read the posts first before I start my own personal Richard Cohen rant, but . . .

May I say something about Ann Coulter? She is a half-wit, a termagant, a dimwit, a blowhard, a worthless silicone nothing, physically ugly and could be likened to Eva Braun, who was Hitler's mistress.

I understand your current twelve step program takes up much of your free time, but do at least try to come up with your own invective. "Silicone nothing"? Hardly. Perhaps this was a Freudian slip while you pondered your penile implant . . .

If, as Coulter says, liberals control the media and much of the animal and plant kingdoms, then how is it that the president du jour and others of recent times -- Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush the Elder -- happen to be conservatives? I must be missing something here.

Yes, my self-important little media shill, you are missing something. Liberal control of the media does not automatically mean Liberal control of the voters, no matter how much you wish it so.

For some reason, the intolerant National Review fired her.

Again sir, allow us to pretend you absorbed the book. The National Review dropped her syndicated column. This is still America; they are allowed to do so, much the same way I'm allowed to "fire" everyone in the Washington Post through my subscription cancellation. I would assume this qualifies me as intolerant from the Washington Post point of view . . .

Being conservative is like being criminally insane: You can't be held accountable.

Calm down, Mr. Cohen. I understand it must be quite a shock to personally suddenly realize the implications of the bestseller status of the book "Slander"; that the general public does not hold the same Liberal mindset you do. It's OK; the general public had felt this way for quite some time. Conservatives aren't suddenly going to capture and torture you because of your epiphany.

I mean, almost everything Coulter says about her ideological enemies could be said about her.

Everything Ann Coulter says about her ideological enemies HAS been said about her, by her ideological enemies, many times over, for many many years. The Richard Cohens of the world don't stop at Ms. Coulter; they include everyone who does not agree with the Liberal mindset. Why do you think she wrote the book?

See, Ann, liberals can be compassionate.

Yes, and this column is a fine example of that Liberal compassion.

But you got to love the free publicity.

Liberals are also stupid. They think they can put out this fire by talking about it. Shows you how little they know about Ann Coulter. She's on a mission.

If Anne Coulter were a liberal writer, every last person on Free Republic would be pointing out her rather liberal manifest of male characteristics.

Nah, Katie Couric may be a liberal butt-munch; but, I've seen any number of people willing to state she is pretty. It's her attitudes that are ugly. Liberals name call because they have nothing of worth to say that anyone would otherwise agree with in an actual exchange of ideas. That's why they're so terrified of conservatives and Fox News.

More Slander from PravdADNCBS! IMPOTUS means Impeached President of the United States which is a fact. He does not say why Katie is Eva Braun or discuss her calling Ronald Reagan an airhead?? Sounds like Ann hit a major nerve on a braindead liberal with an IQ below room temp.

Must be nice having idiots like this representing your political beliefs?? It would probably help if he actually read the book rather than the bibliography, but he would probably wear out his lips by reading that much?? Ann Rox!!!

Pray for GW and the Truth

Richard Cohen at least read past the first page of the book, but obviously failed to comprehend it.

Ann does Rock. If there were females of her calibre in my
little universe, I might consider swearing off eternal bachelorhood. Alas I live in the town that pioneered the 50% plus divorce rate. I could be more descriptive; but, the female understanding around here of what men are for is found in the dictionary under doormat and wallet. When they're through wiping their feet, they pick up a heal and extract money from you. If a bigger paycheck walks by, Dolly Parton begins singing and you now have 50% ownership in your 2.5 children (and about 2% say in their lives), lose a vast chunk of your personal income to the her for the tanning salon while she tells the judge the kids need clothes and she's on to the next wallet with "welcome" written across his chest. Their brains are capable of comprehending what Ben Franklin means, but if they can meet larger presidents on a regular basis, the doormat moves up from plain black with white letters, through the wicker weave to deep shag with Gold spun letters. Do I sound cynical yet? LOL.

Ann is the kind of woman that the word Lady was created to describe from everything I've witnessed. A guy would be proud to take her home to mom. And I'm sure most would wish for a third arm to brush her hair with while the other two massaged her shoulders after a long day and would be happy to do so. Brains count for nothing. Being able and willing to use one's brains counts for a lot. Being well
tempered and beautiful on top of that is incredible. In fact, should we consider cloning and replace the liberal female population with Ann Coulter clones?

Hmm. I wonder how one goes about asking her out nowdays.. lol

You might want to add somewhere in there that his column never would have been read by you if it wasn't in, or linked by, FreeRepublic.com

What's going on here? We're over a hundred posts into a Colter thread and there's more photographs of Santa Claus' bastard son than Ann. What's the story here? BTW, has anyone else noticed that liberal guys are REALLY acting like Ann poured a slurpee in their laps?

Sorry, libs, she's ours.

physically ugly

I know it's not Free Republically Correct to say so, but his is almost true...

Ann is fairly attractive (No where NEAR as "Hot" as the obviously biased posters on FR state) but her body is disgusting!!!

I LOVE a slim woman but Ann is Olive Oil Like! He thighs are almost literally as thin as her ankles...If that's not Olive Oil, I don't know WHAT is???

But still...She's about my favorite writer. An OUTSTANDING wit and good, basic insight into liberals. I wish she was as good on TV where she seems to stumble a bit too much.

I've been trying to steel myself in preparation for the Liberal media onslaught that was sure to come shortly after the publication of "Slander". I have to admit, I was somewhat unprepared for this example of Richard Cohen's explosive spleen venting.

I want to personally apologize to Ann Coulter on behalf of the Male Race for her having to be subjected to this disgusting diatribe by this mouthpiece from Hell.

I have this overwhelming desire to shower after perusing the column. I feel dirty simply from reading it . . .

Oh it will be worth it when Annie boy is outed publically and I get rub vinager and salt into the wounds of her drooling entorage

A man who cannot spell "vinegar" is not intellectually qualified to pronounce upon the gender of Ann Coulter.

Ivan

You missed a couple (or maybe you're just going easy on him). It's "publicly", not "publically". And I believe the word is "entourage". ("And I get rub vinager"...who's "drooling"?)

What with her book being on the best seller list for some time now and still way up there on the charts, she must be driving the democrats nuts getting the story out to the American Public about what crooks they are and how slanted EVERYTHING they say and do is in the media.

Thank you Ann Coulter......keep on trucking!
