How Bad Is It? Even Ann Coulter Has Turned On Conservatives (FYI: Coulter's new book is sales flop)

On Monday, conservative provocateur Ann Coulter visited Sean Hannity for a plug-her-latest-book sitdown, during which her host tossed out what he no doubt assumed would a typical conservative-colleagues-in-arms softball: “Establishment Republicans are at war with the Tea Party base, and I’m angry about it!” But Coulter slammed it, so to speak, to the opposite field, going on a tear against Newt Gingrich, Todd Akin, Mark Sanford, and Liz Cheney, whom she declared to be “hucksters, shysters, and people ripping off the Republican Party for their own self-aggrandizement, for their own egos, to make money.”

Ann Coulter’s 15 minutes were up sooo long ago.

[apocalypto]

You are giving her way too much credit. She did not give us Romney. She is not that powerful as some here seem to think.

[Paladin2]

"people ripping off the Republican Party for their own self-aggrandizement, for their own egos, to make money.”"

Unlike Ann herself? It's apparently a successful business model, until now.

[southernerwithanattitude]

Ann loves Moderate Republicans who are just Democrates with a R beside their name. No thanks.

I wrote off Ann Coulter after she spent the the last several years kissing Chris Christie huge arse, declaring him the second coming of Ronald Reagan and shouting down anybody that dared criticize his conservative credentials. Only to suddenly discover a few months ago (what every other Conservative with more than two brain cells already knew)that Chris Christie is and always has been a RINO. That told me that Coulter is either terminally stupid, (which I don't believe), or a big a RINO as Christie, but she plays a conservative to sell books to all us conservative rubes. (more likely). Either way, I have no use for her anymore...

Sorry, Ann, your fifteen minutes are up! NEXT!

[riri]

I think, last book, she actually did make fun of a handicapped person. Yeah, yeah, she tweeted the word "retard".

She is so predictably lame. Hard to believe I once drove two hours and then waited two more hours to see her. I wouldn't cross the street to see her these days.

For their own egos and to make money? Hmmmm who does that sound like?

[DBrow]

“hucksters, shysters, and people ripping off the Republican Party for their own self-aggrandizement, for their own egos, to make money.”

What are they doing, Ann? Selling books to Republicans?

HUH? She's RIGHT about all those morons. Oh, yes it's the 'Daily Beast'

[C. Edmund Wright]

It is when your normal book is in top 3......

[Texas Eagle]

Actually, I'm in agreement with her on Newt, Sanford, and Cheney.

I'd like to see Liz Cheney actually run something before putting her in the Senate.

I heard her on Rush a few weeks ago and she sounded like a typical say-nothing Moderate political hack.

I don't know that much about Akin other than he didn't recognize a "gotcha" question when it was staring him in the face.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Well she’s right and wrong.....Mark Sanford, for all his foibles, is loved in SC because he’s a great conservative and is really good at bashing liberals.

And Newt, the “good Newt” is far more conservative than Ann....and better at bashing libs than even Ann.....altho the “bad Newt” is, well, the bad Newt I admit.

Meanwhile, Akin was a self serving joke and a pathetic candidate — not sure about Liz v Enzi.

Amazon Hardcover Sales Rank: #92 Um, that's no flop.

Yes it is. Probably about 250-300 books sold so far. Terrible.

[bigbob]

I’m done with her

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Newt Gingrich, Todd Akin, Mark Sanford, and Liz Cheney

Actually, those aren't conservatives. Seems right enough to me.

[SoFloFreeper]

I like Ann. I do not like the cannibalism that is going on here.

I know who DOES like it: the Clown.

I am certain many here remember the 1980s when the Democrat party was ripped apart by inner turmoil....this is happening to the Republican party now, but the stakes are MUCH higher.

I totally believe that we must re-align the conservative movement, but we would best be served by doing so within the apparatus of the Republican party. Reagan did that. We should follow his example.

The Tea Party is working on doing that; the election of 2010 showed what is possible. We will NOT win every fight, we will lose many. So did George Washington. And he had a bunch of guys abandon his force, too, didn’t he?

I have attacked without mercy true RINOs....but not every one with whom I disagree. Examples? Charlie Crist, right after he embraced Obama. That snot nose Chaffee from Rhode Island. McCain. A few others.

But Ann? No. I didn’t AGREE with her about Christie, but I also didn’t throw her under the bus. Rand Paul voted FOR the haughty John Kerry (who served in Vietnam) as Sec State....but I don’t consider him a traitor.

I think we sometimes need to cool our jets. Being infuriated all the time isn’t wise or healthy.

God bless.

[mrsmel]

My exact first thought. A pimp calling out the other pimps.

[soupbone1]

Forget Ann Coulter, I have more respect for Arianna Huffington. At least Arianna had the decency to go full bore democrap when she finished fleecing republicans.

[mrsmel]

She was close to correct that time. They allowed themselves and their dead to be used.
