You can say what you want about Coulter but she certainly doesn’t support Islamists and Palestinians.

I agree with what you say. There are times, however, when something just bombs. If even your target audience does not understand what you said, then by all means feel free. There will, however, be a response.

Trump has been understood by his target audience. Ann was not, except for a few close friends like Drudge.

Coulter’s job is communication.

With that she failed.

Thanks for reminding me.

What has it turned into lately?

Ann Coulter should just go away. Far far away. She is a lost, miserable little girl

Agree, Ann is miserable and has been for a while. Trump would be smart to keep her far away from him.

I truly think Coulter’s “f—ing Jews” was a riff on the exact comment made long ago by Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, few people understood the connection and her tweet has now seriously bit her in the ass.

Her hardline support of Romey in 2012 betrays your statement. Remember, Coulter’s entire shtick is similar to Stephen Colbert’s, but she has Andy Kaufman levels of commitment to her little “joke”. She’s been playing the “concern troll” character ever since conservatives and liberals alike got bored of her first character.

They want white men to become a species of scared, embarrassed feminized apologist, who’ve been taught by leftist academia that if you dare disagree with they say, or do not support or believe in their causes, they will have to go public and apologize for being privileged, white and racists.

This is cultism.

Your advice is very well taken and very true.

Great post.

Just for the record, “f—ing Jews” is a quote of Hillary Clinton. Coulter’s mistake in sarcastically quoting Hillary was in using a quote the leftist media has hidden from the public.

That makes sense.

Hey Jim Geraghty - where's the 'apology' from Obama for sticking the IRS on conservatives?

Or the apology from that witch Hillary for her 'vast right wing conspiracy' crap... and sticking the FBI on conservatives ... ALL of us.

The word she and her hacks put out was that 'white middle aged men who used words like constitution' were domestic terrorists and wanted to kill policemen.'

We are owed an apology.

She will let everyone stew an
Bout it. Firmly plant their self righteousness and then ZOT them with the fact that it’s. A Hillary quote.

May be true

but you have to communicate to your audience so that they understand your communication.

. She destroyed herself with that.

Maybe Janet Reno can apologize for both of them?

Again, nothing to do with her supporting Muslims and Islamists which was my point. Have you read her articles on Muslims? Believe what you like and you might want to criticize her but that’s not something that makes sense.
