Has Ann Coulter Hit Her Tipping Point?

AP ^

[Tax-chick]

I don't know what else she's done recently, so I can't agree or disagree on that point. Certainly no one is above criticism.

I think this incident was calculated to make a point, and it did, in the style of her usual schtik. Everyone knows Ann Coulter's "act" by now. (Anoreth knows she'd better have a more tasteful act, if she wants a driver's license and a trip to Europe with her grandmother :-).

Vlad's up, so I can't continue the discussion, but I hope you're having a great weekend!

[SerpentDove]

I see you're a fan of the hyperbole.

[achingtobe]

And that is the point. She's been too lazy to be fierce, jst vicious.

[najida]

Well, just up the thread is someone saying "If everyone who disagrees with AC were to leave the GOP, the GOP would be better for it!"

Golly, nothing cue the doo de doo doo, Twilight Zone music quicker for me. She isn't God (is she? Did I miss a memo!?)

[najida]

Same to ya hun!

>>My taste in female pundits runs more towards ladies like Barbara Olson. Barbara Olson was articulate and could get her conservative view point across without having to resort to shock jock tactics.

Exactly. Have you ever read "Hell to Pay," and expose on Hillary Clinton?

She is very articulate and damning, using very pointed language in criticizing Hillary. Very powerful and effective.

As one poster indicated, Ann Coulter is getting to have more in common with South Park.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ann makes a point about political correctness (Hence the rehab remark which relates to Isaiah Washington going to rehab for calling someone a faggot) and throws in a side dig at Edwards and the entire chattering class is having a collective fit over a misquote which just will not die.

Which, ironically, just proves her point.

No one who can not be offended by a 'pride parade' should be offended by a mere word.

And for those taking the moral 'high ground', at least put the quote in context and word it correctly.

Sheesh. Some folks around here are just embarassing.

YMMV

Which is to say you have posted a steady stream of more than a hundred posts attack Coulter.

But you don't have an agenda or anything. -- Not much.

Yep, Barbara Olson could make a point...without ever surrendering her dignity. I miss her.

Also, I guess we're part of the "fat" that needs to be cut out of the new Lean Mean Fightin' Machine .

LOL

And I believe Ann is bombastic in order to get herself noticed, which is fine and dandy. But (IMHO) therer is a time and place for everything, and again (IMHO) this wasn't it. There is so much SUBSTANCE we can use against them. That's all. I think we only disagree on tactics, not the final goal. Am I far off?

When you get to the 2+million mark in books sold (10 times the readership of this forum) perhaps you can comment about tactics. Until then the banal assertions you proffer to "prove" your point show you to be quite an insipid debater.

When I see Malkin, Medved, Hewitt, and the other 'conservative' gnats trying to gain publicity at the expense of Coulter; I never suppose they claim to speak for "conservatives." I've never bought a Malkin, Medved, or Hewitt book, while I've got all of AC's. Too bad she never appealed to you--I suppose then she should give up writing to satisfy your sensibilities? Or perhaps wear a poster board indicating that anything she says is her opinion and she does not speak for ironically-challenged "conservatives"?

Writing off her readership as a bunch of horny men belies her support among women even on this thread. Cant on, dude, your mopey attacks on Miss Coulter obviously feed your delusions of grandeur. Glad we can be here to help.

Welcome to Free Republic!

Don't worry, there are plenty of trolls already deeply embedded.

Nobody is going to notice you.

I think Coulter's response to this was something to effect that "well, this is the 17th time my career has been ended and I'm still going strong".

The MSM, with help from the Uncle-Tom conservatives, have always hated Coulter and tried to keep her off the airways.

Fortunately, the MSM, and the girley-boys at NR and WSJ no longer have the power to decide whether Coulter gets on TV or published or has a nationwide column.

I'm always amazed at the so-called conservatives who always take the liberal MSM side and attack Coulter. They think it gets them "street cred" with the liberals, while in fact, it gets them nothing except contempt from their conservative audience.

"Captain Ed" and Hewitt, who both called for Coulter be banned from CPAC and run out of the conservative movement have both lost credibility with conservatives.

Finally, nothing more silly than the phony conservatives showing up at FR and blogs stating that:

"I used to be a coulter fan, and own several of her books, but after her comment at CPAC.. blah blah blah"

I'm sure some people are sincere in saying this. But I laugh whenever I hear it because 90 percent are lying and never liked Coulter from day 1.

So what? I've posted on many topics before, and I'll post on many since. The topic interests me.

Feel free to snoop through my trash any time.

You mean the nearly ANNorexic fighting machine.

Folks seem to be forgetting how bad the 2006 November elections were. We were stomped, remember?

We ain't gainin' ground, we're losin' it, and folks here just seem to keep wantin' to lose more!

[SerpentDove]

>>When I see Malkin, Medved, Hewitt, and the other 'conservative' gnats<<

You call these people conservative "gnats." I suppose we can throw Bill Bennett in there as well, in addition to any other conservative who dares say anything.

This speaks volumes.

BTW, Al Franken is also a NY Times bestseller. I guess that elevates him above those people as well?

[SerpentDove]

I would sincerely appreciate a comment on my post #97, if you have the time.

Thanks

"Yep, Barbara Olson could make a point...without ever surrendering her dignity. I miss her."

I suppose Coulter does too, since they were very good friends.

But what a great tactic, bring up the honored dead to "prove" that they would never act like Coulter.

Yes, destroy Coulter for her joke. By all means. Teach her and the rest of the right a lesson.

You will not only be helping George Soros and Howard Dean knock off their worst nightmare, but you will discourage anyone with guts and a sense of humor from getting into conservative politics for another generation.

It's quite a noble mission you are on.

But I realize self-righteousness is addictive. So much so that you are even willing to go through any contortions to exercise it.

Even if it means proving the point of Coulter's joke.

[CWOJackson]

LOL! I'd switch to decaf if I were you. I can understand why Coulter's personality appeals to you.

"LOL! I'd switch to decaf if I were you. I can understand why Coulter's personality appeals to you."

Not just me.

Barbara Olson and her husband Ted used to fight over who would get the paper on Wednesdays, to decide who would get to read Coulter out-loud to the other one.
