"if the newspapers, etc. would not give her the time of day, she would deflate. There are so many GOOD books which never get press because of the sensationalism something like this trash generates. The media and publishers who pander to this are pimps and she is a whore of the extreme Christian Nationalists."

Sorry Kat, don't blame the media.   People want to read this crap and they buy the papers that spews her venom. If people weren't reading her, she would go away. You may call it pandering, but it is deeper than that.

It is easy to say that newspapers should print someone else, but I do not believe in blacklisting. The problem is not Ann Coulter but the mental midgets that buy into her spew.

I've checked with my selectors. They don't feel that her books have enough "weight" to justify spending the money on them. One said, "We can get all the venom we want, but what I want is balance."

I spent a good four minutes of my life watching that video clip, and I'll never get them back...what a cheap vicious bitch. And with the chutzpah to claim that SHE's a victim, cause she can't "respond" to comments made by widows. Sure, whatever. I feel bad for you.

Incidentally, LH, I have actually heard that Coulter and Michael Moore are (were?) sort of friendly sparring partners...doesn't say much for his taste does it?

I hadn't seen much of Sweet Annie for the last couple of years, then she was on TV yesterday...and I believe she'll be on again tonight. Like Seamus says, there's a calculating streak in her madness....after all, even Nazi literature makes some money.

(and like Ebbie notes, she tends toward slit skirts and imagines herself God's gift to men....I visualize her in her off hours with dark make-up and leather outfits, with whips and bindings, making atheists cringe before an altar of a vengeful God...and selling them her books as they leave!)

Compare her to anyone? Well, I once heard George Lincoln Rockwell in person...that as close as I can come. Even conservatives like Joe Scarborough were gulping at her latest tirades.

I have a hard time believing that there are very many people who take her all that seriously. When I think of conservatives such as William F. Buckley, I'd think that they'd find a person like Ann Coulter to be a horrible embarrassment. Of course, if someone does take her seriously, that says a lot about them.

Sorry, Ron, I don't agree. The idjits who buy her books probably wouldn't even know about them if the press didn't make them aware. It's not a matter of telling the media what they can and cannot print. They don't print something about every book which comes out. They have the choice of which ones to cover; they could make more informed choices, imo. They are giving her free publicity and it is to their detriment, imo.

Sorry Kat, I can't agree with what you advocating. While the media does not review everything, to choose to avoid a public figure and a controversial story is blacklisting pure and simple.    The media is accused of being biased already and to stop printing stories about someone that a lot of people follows would clearly be a case of the media trying to set public opinion. It is one thing for a magazine or newspaper with a stated political slant to editorialize, but to suggest that the media avoid commenting on Ann Coulter is one step closer to book burning.

We can't separate ourselves from the people and ideas that we detest by adopting the same methods ourselves.

I watched that clip as well, and I for one was waiting for Matt Lauer to follow up his query re: "so you're not allowed to speak 'just' because you've lost your husband?" with something like, "but of course, you don't HAVE a husband; and how very surprising that is!"

BLAH--can you imagine? That creature looks like she could remove a man's testicles during an introductory handshake and he wouldn't even notice they were gone before it was too late!

My personal theory is that it's having that shrivelled, chicken neck that's made her so twisted and bitter; I agree with the post above that she should do everyone a favour and just eat something (other than her usual diet of live human infants, that is)!

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, Ron. I am NOT advocating any such thing as blacklisting and I think you know me well enough from my postings over the years to know that.

I am objecting to the inordinate amount of media attention something like her book attracts. There is SO much NEWS we never hear about. The news media ARE biased, which by your standards, it seems, means they are already practising blacklisting. I'd like to see it become much more fair and balanced, not likely to happen, and the fringe element like Coulter, be left to promote themselves without a 3 ring media circus' help.

Dead on, Kat. For instance, how often do you hear about my dachshund on CNN? He is far more dangerous to world peace and societal harmony than Ann Coulter, and it never gets reported at all! That just goes to show how much we can depend on the modern news media to alert the public as to what is really going on.

Look at the bright side, folks. She's on THEIR side!!! I am truly, truly, truly thankful for that.

As long as she stays on their side, she can run her mouth all she wants. Doesn't bother me a bit. Every time she opens her mouth or puts pen to paper, so to speak, she weakens the nation's conservative base. An organism can develop all kinds of defenses from outside threats but the cancer that rots it from within it is helpless to battle against. Ann Coulter is a gangrenous carcinoma on the conservative body politic.

Why doesn't that idiot Toby Keith rage against her instead of Natalie Maines?

Kat, I did not mean to say that you were ADVOCATING blacklisting, but I was trying to say that your suggestion that the media ignore her is a subtle form of blacklisting. When we try to influence the media by telling them what they can and can't air, we end up doing the same thing that all the bookburners and people who don't want to see Catcher in their library try to accomplish. Why should any of us have the power to tell the media what to do?   Almost too quietly, the FCC was handed the power to increase fines tenfold. I don't think anyone realizes how dangerous this can be. While I know you did not mean it, I truly feel that your suggestion leads us in a dangerous direction.

I guess we will have to disagree.

Actually, the only way to truly influence the media is by action. Ann Coulter sells. People buy her crap. The media picks up on it. IF people stopped reading her swill, the media would drop her like yesterdays sushi.

she was on again this evening, talking to Lou Dobbs, who soothed, stroked, and tried to pry a bit of reflection out of her. She seems to be hung up on the concept that "conservatives have a much harder time being heard"...

This sort of reasoning...."Michael Moore can speak on any college campus he wants, I have to have a bodyguard if they will have me at all...

.."the 'liberal media' pick on conservatives...me especially"

Lou Dobbs reasoned that HE gets labeled and criticized for his stances against illegal immigration and outsourcing of jobs, but she simply wouldn't hear the logic that the extremity of her position leads to the difficulty of being heard....then she uses the difficulty of being heard as further proof of bias & discrimination against conservative causes.

No one can pin her down as to what these 9-11 widows are SUPPOSED to say when they disagree with the political status. In her mind, if they say anything, they are cheating by using their notoriety to unfairly influence opinion, but then she uses HER notoriety as a loud, mouthy, harridan (*grin*) to influence opinion ...and sell books!

It boils down to "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice... also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!".....now where have I heard that before" ...Barry someone...about 1964, I think.

The woman is both paranoid AND imbued with righteous fervor fueled by religion, imagined 'bias' and her own problems with self esteem....(didja notice the short, slit skirts and long hair help deflect attention from, old acne scars?)

Too bad her system of being the loudest, nastiness twit on the block is working...

Until then I hope AC shouts louder and louder and draws more and more attention to herself because by doing so she is helping to shine a very bright spotlight on the GOP and Administration she so viciously supports and defends.
I wouldn't want her NOT to get attention. The more attention she gets the better.
The GOP and Conservatives can pretend to ignore her but they own her...and by saying NOTHING about her current headline grabber Hate rag and her Prime Time TV Rants many Americans will be of the opinion that she has the full support of the Republican Party behind her remarks.

Just out of curiosity........Where did anyone ever get the idea this woman is pretty or sexy? She's a scrawny blonde with boney legs, ugly knees, big feet, small tits, a long horsey face, with a wardrobe and make-up from "Whores-R-Us."

Did anyone see the video of the two guys trying to hit her with the cream pies? Classic. They miss but her reactions in dodging and running off reminded me of the little bratty girls in grade school and it showed off the bad bod and bigass feet to their worst advantage.

Really, if the book is a bust and the conservatives throw her out, she has a future as a two dollar whore.
