Ann Coulter: Kathleen Parker: The Barry Lynn of the South
AnnCoulter.com ^ | August 12, 2009 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 08/12/2009 3:38:23 PM PDT by EveningStar

Just as the left pioneered "AstroTurf" protesters -- homeless people lured to demonstrations with the offer of a free T-shirt and a box lunch -- liberals have also specialized in producing fake "insiders" denouncing their alleged group.

I don’t believe so, but either way, it was uncalled for. If she had wanted to avoid the topic, she could have done so politely by just saying that she hadn’t studied the issue, so couldn’t really comment on it. But she didn’t do that. She chose instead to insult those of us who think the POTUS should be required to follow the eligibility requirements of the constitution. And this coming from a lawyer who claims to be a conservative.

I’ve never been wild about either one of them. Give me Mike Reagan and Pat Boone, some Star Parker with a side of Krauthammer and a Mike Adams.

You knew the charges of racism would be thrown out as soon as Obama’s socialist agenda started to anger the public. Liberals can't admit that people are opposed to their liberal agenda. I hope they keep adding fuel to the fire by calling concerned citizens, Nazis and racist thugs. Reality will hit them upside the head when they get trounced in the next election.

I think the perps in the birth certificate movement - Berg, Keyes, Taitz, et al, are crackpots. I look upon those who believe them as victims of a political scam.

Actually, Annie is just fine.

Comrade O is qualified if you believe that his mama Sidney was an American citizen. If she was (and I have never seen anyone express credible claims to the contrary) then she passed citizenship by birth to him even if she gave birth to him on Saturn or Jupiter or on the heavenly body formerly known as the planet Pluto.

There are those who point out that there may have been a statute then that would say that an 18-20 year old American woman would not be able to pass birthright natural citizenship to her child by a foreign citizen father while an American father of the same age would be able to pass such Natural born American citizenship to his child by a foreign citizen mother. If you imagine that such a statute would be found constitutional today, that must be good stuff you are smoking. Statutes must have rational public policy grounds. You wanna try to explain the rational basis for such a distinction??? If anything, in those pre-DNA days, maternity was more certain than paternity and a better standard of citizenship by birth.

Ann is a fake conservative????? More likely, Ann is not a Bircher, or not a Birther, or not a 9/11 Truther or not some other variety of moonbat posing as a conservative without justification.

You can pound sand!

I agree. And they’re making us look bad and are using it as yet another club to beat us over the head with.

And they’re busy trashing hardcore credentialed Conservatives with long, long track records of genuine rightist thought over a freaking hearsay rumor?

THATS INSANE

I could care less what this woman has to say now after how she referred to those of us that want to see the constitution of this country upheld. I used to be her number one fan....

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt, though I classify myself as a "birther".

I'm thinking that she needs to take that stance, though she may be secretly a "birther".

As a very high-profile columnist and commentator and author, she needs to maintain her credibility. I'm not saying that the "birther" movement doesn't have credibility, but, Ann could not have committed herself to the movement unless she was 100% certain that Obama was in fact not "a natural born American". If she had committed herself to the movement and it's later proven that Obama was "in fact" born in the U.S., she and a lot of others would have lost a major part of their credibility.

The regular Joe Blow "birther" out here would not have as much to lose as a Coulter, or an O'reilly, and we can take bigger chances than them with our theories. The risk to those people is a lot greater than to us regular folk out here. Imagine that she did in fact reveal herself to be a "birther". and it's later proven that Obama was a natural born American. Then, imagine that she writes a book in which she tries to take on the liberals and Obama and their agenda, like we know she has in the past. The people with "CDS" (Coulter Derangement Syndrome) would have a field day destroying her credibility and her book as having been written by "a loony birther".

So, that's why I believe that Coulter could not have joined the movement even though she might secretly want or believe in the "birther" movement.

Uh Oh! Here come the flames.

IIRC, the “birther” issue was started by Larry Johnson, an ex-CIA operative who has clearly been a tool for the Dems for the past 8 years.

Ba Da Bing!

And the best way to fight Katty P is to never, never click on her articles. Her articles have always been unoriginal and tedious, anyway, even before she Went Vichy. Trust me, she's never even been a Peggy Noonan, back when Peggy Noonan was still Peggy Noonan.

Boycott the menopausal wing of the RINOs.

Um ... a self-appointed writing something or other; never got her hat right at the Carolina Cup; and known as a prig at the Old Mill (Boykin) and Lifred’s (Rembert), and showed a little too much “leg” at the cistern at CofC. ...

The only Carolina Cup that matters in NC is at "The Range" in Oxford NC where everyone wears baseball caps. 300 IDPA shooters from America and beyond wielding fabulous handguns.

To spare your sensitivities a professional opinion stater shouldn't state her opinion on a subject?

Maybe she DID research the topic and found the birther case lacking in both merit and legal reasoning.

She is a lawyer, and after reading her books and hearing her talk off the cuff, a conservative.

“Let’s put it this way: they are all Yankee fans down there in southern Connecticut...”

Actually, they make pretty good Yankee fans...kinda like water seeking it’s own level.

Parker, Brooks, Noonan and Co, and just plain bigots.

Glad they have outed themselves.

Since when do you have to march lockstep on every issue to be Conservative? I like the Birthers but my whole life isn’t wrapped around it.

Ann may "secretly want" to discredit Obama, but maybe she doesn't "believe" that the "birther" charges are true or provable.

That makes her different (in this case, anyway) from people who believe what they want to believe because they want to believe it.

I’m entitled to my opinion, just as she is. She’s shown her true colors.
