How dare she speak the truth! and hopefully won’t mention that the NFL has been very desirous of a black quarterback to do WELL!

[omega4179]

MOST of what Ann says in public has a /s after it. And the listeners do not even realize it.

[omega4179]

Quayle had much more resume than Obama and was completely mocked up and down for his “youth and inexperience” rather than being “clean and articulate”

[OnRiver]

Ann not wanting attention? what planet do you live on....she craves it....the woman is a disgrace and hardly a conservative as she dated a pornographer(penthouse) for years and is known to be very loose especially with democrates. But she gets attention with her mouth and some people think its brave...hardly....it means money...and bad press for conservatives...

Here is the FULL TEXT of that CNS "Hitler" story, from www.CNSnews.com:

Unlike McCain, Hitler 'Had a Coherent Tax Policy,' Coulter Says

(Clarification: Ann Coulter's appeared at the Omni Shoreham hotel but not at CPAC.)

Washington (CNSNews.com) - In a speech at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., Friday, just down the hall from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), author Ann Coulter said that the primary difference between Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Adolf Hitler was that Hitler "had a coherent tax policy."

Coulter compared a potential alliance between disillusioned conservative Republicans and Sen. Hillary Clinton to the alliance between Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin during World War II, which was formed to defeat Hitler.

"I'm not comparing McCain to Hitler," she added. "Hitler had a coherent tax policy."

The remark received wild applause from the audience of about 500 conservative activists. Many in the crowd seemed hostile to the idea of a McCain presidency and cheered Coulter's attacks on the Arizona senator.

Coulter also criticized McCain for his sponsorship of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, accused him of wanting amnesty for illegal immigrants, and mocked his frequent touting of his military service in Vietnam.

"Couldn't we pick a POW who doesn't want to shut down Guantanamo?" she said.

Coulter even attacked McCain's age, quipping that he had been in the Senate since the Spanish-American War and wondered if his age had influenced some of his more moderate positions.

"At John McCain's age, he's looking for posterity," she said. "He's worried about his New York Times obituary."

Nevertheless, Coulter noted, if McCain made former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney his vice president, she would support the Republican ticket.

"I've led one impeachment. I can lead another," she said.

Coulter was not invited to speak at CPAC this year, but she gave her speech in the same hotel where the conference occurred.

The so called gang of 14 fought to perserve the power of the minority party in Congress which I am glad exists today given what’s going on in the world.

It did no such thing because Alito and Roberts would have been confirmed anyway using the Constitutional option. The only thing it did was prevent the confirmation of good conservative judges from getting a fair up or down vote. That is why the number of appellate judges that were confirmed in 2005 and 2006 was substantially lower than that of Clinton in his 5th and 6th years.

From: http://www.confirmthem.com/hit_mccain#comment

"McCain should be asked about how the Gang of 14 directly blocked the nominations of Henry Saad and William Myers and indirectly blocked those of Boyle, Haynes and Wallace. In specific, he needs to be challenged on the topic of Haynes."

[Ron H.]

... I don’t care for McCain but there are times he’s right on certain things.

LOL. Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

[madison10]

I think she was joking...She was trying to make a point by being extreme. Of course, sometimes tricks of the language are lost on people.

[VictoryGal]

> Ann being Ann, stoking the fires of hell for liberals everywhere.

Yeah, by, uh... stumping for Hitlery???

That’ll show those libs :-P.

Ann is as much a conservative as Stephen Colbert.

[Reagan Man]

I see. This was just a ploy by Ann Coulter to get folks to think for themselves. LOL And my ridiculing Coulter's remarks was out of line? Hardly. Thanks for playing along.

Truth is, Ann Coulter doesn't give a rip about the GOP or the conservative movement either. Coulter cares about one person --- Ann Coulter. Coulter is a narcissist of the first order. Her shick is the personal attack and her goal is to sell books. You don't get people to listen to you by insulting them, or mocking them. Besides, Coulter is the last person any conservative should be listening to. Coulter should be ignored!

Instead of worshiping at the feet of Ann Coulter, you need to grow up and start thinking for yourself.

[Reagan Man]

oops: correction: “shtick”

[concentric circles]

Thanks for the C-Span link. I watched the replay online, she was great! I loved her repeated references to “My girl, Hillary.” I notice that there will be a replay on C-Span at midnight e.s.t. and 5:45 a.m. I urge all of Ann’s fans and all her detractors to tape it.

[VictoryGal]

OK, OK. I guess there are "rules" about posting pics of Ann. I can comply with that! In fact, I have a rare photo of Ann when she experimented with being a brunette.

Enjoy!

[Reagan Man]

Rush Limbaugh can seamlessly shift between serious politics and political humor. Coulter can not. See my post at #112.

[concentric circles]

Watch the replay on C-Span or at C-Span.org and let me know what you think.

[Zevonismymuse]

How long have we been at war? how long will we be at war?

Pretty Orwellian, for sure.

[Twink]

Did she say this?

[MinuteGal]

Yep, being in the middle of a war is the time to teach the party a lesson.....stamping feet and shaking fist at the party......which just happens to be us.

Who should be our Commander-in-Chief leading all our armed might....the army, navy, air force, special forces, intelligence, economics, strategy, diplomacy, troop support and morale-building in time of a shooting war.......Hillary, Obama or McCain?

Because one of them WILL be, ya know, and all the wishing, sulking and gnashing of teeth and staying home in defiance won't change THAT fact.

Wasn't it in the Peanuts comics that we first heard the phrase, "We have met the enemy, and they are us"?

I've always stuck to the principle that it's better to shoot the enemy, not one's own foot.
