yeah, pretty ridiculous and offensive. she's still hawt, tho, as long as she's not on the rag (head).
or a man. not that i have anything against homosexuals. just that ex men aren't my cup of tea. so to speak.
Coulter thinks “(Democrats) do have affection for these terrorists” and has the *truthiness* to back it up. Link to the video at the bottom. Hypocrisy and high comedy abound. The careful reader will also note that Coulter did not get the memo on Saddam and OBL conspiring together against the US. Arianna Huffington Outmaneuvers Ann Coulter And Sean Hannity. She’s A Top Dog! Arianna Huffington teamed up with Alan Colmes last night (2/20/06) and finally delivered the Hannity & Colmes moment I have been waiting for: confronting Ann Coulter on her hate-speech and confronting Sean Hannity for not distancing himself from it. That, plus Huffington’s deft control of the conversation while maneuvering around Hannity’s gotcha questions, earned her our best in show ribbon. In a clever effort to address the Dick Cheney controversy without talking about Dick Cheney, Hannity & Colmes framed the discussion with Huffington and Coulter around Alec Baldwin’s comments about Cheney on Huffingtonpost.com. In what I erroneously thought was a bad omen of things to come, Alan Colmes opened the discussion with Huffington by focusing on Baldwin. "Was Alec Baldwin over the top, does that put liberals in a good light?" Huffington adroitly maneuvered the focus right back to Cheney by saying he has “inflamed terrorism" and that "he has created more terrorists than he has ever destroyed and that's a damning enough statement." Colmes brought the focus back to Baldwin. “Rather than focus on the issues, (Baldwin’s comments) give enough rope to someone like Ann Coulter to say, 'you liberals. This is the way you liberals think.’ This defines what liberals are like." “Boombox” Coulter sat with glassy eyes and a goofy smile that grew even goofier as Colmes mentioned her name. She leaned toward Colmes (who did not lean toward her) in one of her habitually childish attempts at flirting with Colmes. In fact, the 44 year-old Coulter looked a little haggard and long in the tooth as she said that Cheney’s “bumbling” ended up making the Democrats look bad. “Liberals so hysterically over-react," she declared glibly. I almost screamed at my TV when Colmes didn’t challenge that remark, especially coming from someone who would have no career at all were it not for her own over-reactive hysteria. Instead, he patiently explained that Republicans as well as Democrats have criticized the way Cheney handled the incident. Arianna summed it up perfectly. "The bottom line is that this story became a metaphor for the way this administration has handled much more serious issues - for the secrecy, the stonewalling, the refusal to level with the American people…This was not just liberals, this was conservatives, this was across the board." Hannity broke in to say "Arianna, you're making a mountain out of a molehill." Then he began a harangue about the really important news of the day: Alec Baldwin. Hannity’s voice was heavy with Hanctimony. “I’m asking, do you want Alec Baldwin on your website to call OUR Vice President a terrorist? Huffington stuck to her guns (pun intended). “The bottom line is that what Alec Baldwin was saying is that this administration’s follies have inflamed terrorists.” Hannity’s voice got louder as his attempt to change the subject was foiled. He demanded to know if Huffington was proud of what Baldwin wrote. But canny Huffington didn’t allow the gotcha question to take her off message. She quickly answered that she didn’t have to agree with everything written on her website. “The bottom line, though, is that the essence of what he’s saying is that this administration’s policies have made us less safe, they have inflamed terrorism everywhere in the world. Even Don Rumsfeld said that.” Poor Hannity! Unable to rattle Huffington, his only recourse was to attack Democrats. Turning to Coulter, Hannity called Democrats unhinged appeasers with a pre 9/11 mentality, weak on national security. Coulter nodded with glee while they both conveniently overlooked Bush’s recent decision to outsource the operation of six major ports to the United Arab Emirates, a country with troubling ties to terrorism. “(Democrats) do have affection for these terrorists,” Coulter quipped. “Oh, please.” Colmes interrupted in a tone that was clearly not amused by her wit and which immediately redeemed him from any and all disappointments earlier in the segment. “It seems you’ve become unglued in this hatred you have for the president,” Hannity condescendingly told Huffington. Huffington immediately threw a Hannity question right back at him. “Do you agree with your guest, Ann – do you agree that Democrats have an affection for terrorists? … Yes or no?” Coulter, an ostentatious cross dangling from her neck, said with un-Christian delight, “I’ll cite examples. I’m ready to back that up.” However, as is usually the case with Coulter, she was unable to make a coherent argument when challenged. Democrats should do it more often. This time she gave some half-baked jibes about Robert Reich’s editorial in the New York Times, in which he expressed sympathy for the Muslim rioters. “Everybody wants to be black… This is affection for the people rioting and carrying on.” “No, it’s not,” Colmes said. Huffington cleverly put Coulter and Hannity back in the hot seat. “You’re just completely exaggerating what Robert Reich wrote in the column and Sean is not backing you up.” After the break, Hannity harped on Baldwin again. Huffington, without losing her composure responded, “How many times are you going to say that? Would you like to go through a litany of the toxic statements made by your other guest, Ann Coulter, with which I’m sure you don’t agree? You know what? For you to be suddenly so, so, so hypersensitive about what Alec Baldwin said when you’ve allowed Ann Coulter to be on your show and say things that are so unbelievably toxic... Sending liberals to Guantanamo, having televised torture, sending Daisy Cutters to the Middle East… And I have not seen you distancing yourself from these toxic and (unintelligible) statements.” Coulter giggled like a schoolgirl at the attention. Hannity, another conservative more adept at bullying than debate, launched into another attack on the “unhinged” Democrats – Gore, Pelosi, Dean, etc. Huffington gave it right back to him. She rattled off a list of Republicans distancing themselves from the Bush Administration – Walter Jones, Chuck Hagel, Pat Buchanan, etc. “This is, unfortunately, the kind of friendly fire that this administration is getting while at the same time being defended by the likes of Ann Coulter and the horror show of Mary Matalin on Meet The Press yesterday which clearly could not have done the Vice President any good.” Then Alan Colmes confronted Coulter, too. He asked how her comments such as “Democrats are sympathetic to terrorists” are any different “in the level of extremism than what you’re criticizing?... That’s as extreme and as wrong-headed as what you’re accusing Alec Baldwin of doing.” Coulter was obviously nonplused by the question. Finally, she mustered up a lame response. “Because I can back mine up.” “You haven’t backed it up,” Colmes told her. “Wh, wha, what the New York Times is promoting here.” She rattled off something incomprehensible about “Muslim’s bi-polar rage over some cartoons.” Then, complaining that she thought she was supposed to be discussing Osama Bin Laden, she treated the audience to some of her clever remarks that she had obviously prepared in advance. “He’s tougher on Sadaam Hussein than liberals are! …Liberals haven’t gotten to that stage yet.” Then the same woman who recently bought a house in Democratic-majority Palm Beach County for $1.8 million, tried to pass herself as a heartlander. “I will say the one great thing about the Dick Cheney accident is it’s so adorable watching Democrats pretend they know something about hunting. THAT’S been a hoot.” Colmes said, “I thought the great thing about the hunting accident is that Dick Cheney finally got some combat experience.” Crooks and Liars has the video.
No Worries - that's the most biased review I've ever read in my life. Did you watch the video yourself? Huffington came across as the fool that she is. Hannity and Coulter pwn3d her.
Watched it and disagree. Both Hannity and Huffington channel extremist opinions in their respected forums. It was hypocritical for Hannity to call Huffington out on this. It is like Hannity is saying that we should tolerate ring wing raving nuts (since maybe their heart is in the right place) but not tolerate left wing raving nuts.
Ann Coulter is a right wing raving nut so I guess that settles the question on whether Hannity tolerates them. Jim Caviezel on a cracker he celebrates them!
Sorry texxx Hannity embarrassed himself during the whole exchange. Arianna completely destroyed both Coulter and Hannity. It was beautiful! Arianna's thoughts... Is Sean Hannity Addicted to Coulter Crack? Venturing into enemy territory, I was on "Hannity and Colmes" last night, along with Ann Coulter. We were ostensibly there to discuss the ongoing Muslim cartoon controversy and the media's reaction to the Cheney shooting story. But Sean Hannity only wanted to talk about one thing: Alec Baldwin's blog. Especially Alec Baldwin's assertion that "Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home." Hannity was like a dog with a bone, chewing over that turn of phrase again and again and again, and repeatedly asking me if I was "proud" to have had such a statement on the Huffington Post. He apparently had a hard time grasping the concept that I can be proud of the wide range of opinion we offer our readers without having to agree with every single sentiment expressed by our bloggers. But, for the record, as I told him last night, I don't think that Dick Cheney is a terrorist. I think that Dick Cheney is an atrocious vice president who has inflamed terrorism, and whose policies have helped create far more terrorists than they have destroyed. But Hannity just couldn't get over it. It was as if Baldwin's comment was the worst thing he'd ever heard. But here's what I love: the whole time Sean was obsessing about Baldwin's over-the-top rhetoric, he was sitting elbow to elbow with Ann Coulter, the reigning heavyweight champion of hyperbolic vitriol and over-the-top invective. I mean, this is the woman who said that Democrats like Jack Murtha "long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle", that the Democratic Party "supports killing, lying, adultery, thievery, envy," and that "a baseball bat is the most effective way [to talk to liberals] these days." Coulter has also given us the following noxious bon mots (what I think of as a collection of Ann's Greatest ****s): "Liberals hate America." "Democrats actually hate working-class people" "Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do." "Liberals can't just come out and say they want to take more of our money, kill babies, and discriminate on the basis of race." Bill Clinton "was a very good rapist." Islam is "a car-burning cult." "I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo." And Hannity wanted to take Baldwin to the woodshed? Irony clearly isn't his strong suit. Sean loves to whip out statements made by others, then ask his guests whether they "condemn" or are "proud" of those statements. Does it all the time. But when I tried to ask him if, given the fact that Coulter has appeared on his show more than 20 times over the past two years, he wanted to distance himself from her extreme statements, he refused to answer, instead launching into a diatribe about Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, and what he called "the extreme left": "I think you're weak on terror. I think you have a pre-9/11 mentality. You've undermined the president. You've undermined the troops, and your hate-Bush mentality is not winning you any friends among the American people." And it's not as if Hannity needed to have at his fingertips Coulter's past outrageous statements. She offered one -- a real doozy -- on last night's show, claiming that Democrats "have affection for these terrorists." As "back up" for this inflammatory claim Coulter cited a New York Times op-ed by Robert Wright, author, former New Republic senior editor, and Mickey Kaus' sparring partner on bloggingheads.tv: "The New York Times op-ed page on Friday has Robert Wright comparing these savages rioting over the cartoons to blacks rioting in response to segregation and having to sit on the back of the bus. They are saying that this is justified... This is affection for the people rioting and carrying on." This "back up" is ludicrous on multiple levels. For starters, the op-ed in no way expressed "affection for the people rioting." But even if it did, how does the opinion of a freelance columnist back up a broad brush claim about Democrats having "affection for terrorists?" Wright is not a Democratic Party leader nor, in any way, a spokesman for the party. But Coulter made it sound like he just took over Howard Dean's job. Plus, there is the way she not-so-subtly implied that the entire New York Times endorsed the claims that Wright never actually made (this is a favorite trick of Coulter's, hilariously nailed by Al Franken in Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them's "How to Lie with Footnotes" section as "Use the 'Any Words Written In a Newspaper Can Be Attributed to That Newspaper Technique.'") (A quick note to whoever is putting together the transcripts for the Fox show: the op-ed Coulter cited was written by Robert Wright, not "Robert Reich." Who, I'm certain, also does not have "affection for terrorists," but who at least has a connection to the Democratic Party.) But none of this mattered to Hannity, who let Coulter spew her venom unchallenged. Indeed, it seemed as if he couldn't get enough of the stuff. As if he were addicted to her toxic tirades. That's when it hit me: Coulter is the right wing punditry's equivalent of crack or crystal meth. She's highly addictive -- giving users the delirious, giddy high of outrageousness. But then the buzz wears off and they come crashing down, their spirits shriveled, their souls poisoned. Her brand of way, way over-the-top rhetoric, trading on hatred, demonizing, and caricature is doing to the American body politic what a three-month meth bender does to crank junkies. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/is-sean-hannity-addicted-_b_16109.html
Hahaha,......more stupid Republican pet tricks! Wether we like it or not Ann Coulter has her opinions, however goofy or stupid it is. It's what makes this country great!
Gotta love texxx's unabashed hypocrisy. He accuses Julian Bond of saying the most offensive thing he's ever heard by likening the Bush WH to Nazis but when Ann Coulter says liberals heart terrorists he cheers her on. Countdown to texxx running away from this again complete with a claim of being a "bigger man..."
congratulations youve learned a lot from your crush.. spewing racial slurs thru jokes/pun.. and would you really hit it? looks like a female version of
Bias? No way. It's sad that when somebody stands up against sedition and treason they get blasted for it. Coulter is a great American.
