I was at the taping of that show. Abigail2 & I were the only ones who clapped whaen she said, "I'll give up my right to vote if every other woman does also." The men were too scared to clap & the women in the audience were shocked into silence. Damn, it was funny.

John Lott was also on the show & he had just done printed a paper on the mass increases in the US budgets & spending since women got the right to vote. Even Mahr chimed in with his theory that alot of women are using government in place of men....instead of husbands, they go to Uncle Sam for support. The show was great.

"I think I love her even more reading all these quotes together in one place!"

Ditto that. Now if only she'd put on ten or fifteen pounds....

Beleving in Islam is a hate crime of mass proportions. Don't be fooled.

They will smile and shake your hand, but stab you in the back when the Imam tells them to, as they have been trained to do. Don't take my word for it. Read the Holy Piece of Anti-Bacon Shi%t. And I know these people. They are otherwise the BEST people you have ever met.

If NYpeanut responds, she'll probably say "I'm still waiting for that bible verse that says I can't vote".

I think the bible is very clear about a womans place in the family unit but as I think about it, I wouldn't want a woman not to be able to vote unless the country she lived in was all or maybe 90 percent Christians. Non Christian men have no clue what their part is to be in the family unit.

That's what Rush has been saying but it must not be a new idea. My wife would be glad to give up her vote to take it away from the majority of the women we know including: My mom, My mother in law and almost every neighbor lady on our block, two of which are divorced Unitarians. We only hope that the women at our church are better but there is no guarantee there.

I never cared for Ann's looks much before, but after reading her comments, I think I'm in love.

This is not controversial. She's perfect. For victory & freedom!!!

Shabby liberal hit-piece with a bunch of out-of-context quotes. It fails on all counts.
As a conservative, I find that they add up to a lot of hard-edged, common-sense statements with a touch of hyperbole and a dash of irony. These kind of honest, no BS statements from a conservative woman are what makes Ann Coulter so popular. Yes, her looks help but over the past few years, her short skirts and long blond mane would not have continued to keep her in the forefront of political activism without some substance; as we've seen in this would-be smarmy hachet job.

Ann Coulter says what many Americans are thinking and the left assumes that she'll be rejected for simply making sense. No way. The liberals are probably thrilled to believe they have Ann on the run after her 'convert them all to Christianity/swarthy males' flap with New Republic. Sorry girly-boys, it ain't gonna happen.
Ann is a solid presence, a strong, intelligent voice for conservatives in a liberal-dominated media and she is not going away nor will she be abandonded by (most) conservatives, especially this one. Ann: 1 Liberals: 0

No, this wasn't meant to be a hit piece, but Howie Kurtz of the Washington Post had a link to it in his article today, making it out like it was controversial, so I thought I'd share it. Even though, I see it's already been in publication last week. Just a little diversion for the day.

[NYpeanut]

Golly, you're so clever you posted it twice. By the way, I'm still waiting for that Bible verse that says I can't vote.

To read his paper go HERE.

[abigail2]

Yes!! I remember it well. She really had to look over at us as we clapped because she wasn't expecting it. LOL!That was fun.

Conservatives aren't allowed to have a sense of humor

I have seldom met a l*b*r*l with a sense of humor.

[4Freedom]

What percentage of our so-called comedians profess to be conservatives? Pretty small I bet.

To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."

Does anyone recall the exact circumstances of this quote?

[ethical]

What was the context of ripping into the disabled vet?

I would guess he had turned "peacenik" and was spouting anti-American garbage.

Liberals are copying and pasting this list all over the internet as a sign of Ann's "evilness" and "racism" and whatever else they say about people they disagree with.

I saw this after I'd read the first few columns she wrote after Sep. 11. I'd been losing interest in her column, not because I disagreed, but because the quality seemed lessened. Then, when I saw these quotes, my faith was restored! These quotes are hilarious! Many are very true, and the rest are so obviously out of context that it makes them that much more funny.

I don't know who liberals are trying to influence by publishing this, but it's not gonna do any good (besides making liberals angry and offended, which they like being, and conservatives laugh, which they like doing). It's not gonna make any conservative who knows Ann Coulter change his mind about her.

I first saw the list on a message board in The Ann Coulter FAN Club. It didn't change anyone's mind there either. Because those quotes are why we like her. She infuses conservative philosophy with clever wit and satire (satire so good, one dummy liberal in the club took her hilarious satire piece on NOW's support of Andrea Yates seriously).

Liberals never learn . . .

I predict the Ann Coulter fan club will be swamped with female applicants because of this article.
