THERE'S A THREAD I POSTED HERE ON THE RANT BUT WE STILL NEED TO HAVE EVERYONE SEE HER COME UNHINGED

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney got into trouble for saying, "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." To comprehend why the political class reacted as if Romney had just praised Hitler, you must understand that his critics live in a world in which no one can ever be fired -- a world known as "the government."

I read Ann’s latest column with a heavy heart. I came away with the unmistakable feeling that she has lost faith in the philosophy and movement she has been a firebrand for until now. And I think about how it happens that a person at the age of 50 becomes the very cheerleader for the status quo that she argued against these many years. I believe it is true that as we age we develop different thoughts about things, through experience, through people we meet, through having to be forced to take a position on something we cannot imagine when...

guess you could imagine a chant with Ann Coulter going something like this: Show me what totalitarianism looks like! This is what totalitarianism looks like! That’s because the fiery conservative commentator had a theory on the Wall St. protesters. According to her, the kind of anti-capitalism rhetoric coming from the participants mirrors the beginning of “totalitarianism.” “All of those quotes could have been said in 1789 in France before the French Revolution, or the Russian Revolution, or with only slight modifications when the Nazis were coming to power, in Cuba under Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela,” she told Fox...

As the Occupy Wall Street protests grow and their demands slowly start to solidify, much of their anti-corporate rhetoric is hitting a sour note with conservatives. On tonight’s Follow the Money, host Eric Bolling and guest Ann Coulter discussed the danger of similar “mob uprisings” and the apparent hypocrisy of some of its celebrity supporters, including Roseanne Barr and Michael Moore. RELATED: Bill O’Reilly And Sean Hannity Send Film Crews To Occupy Wall Street Protests To Coulter, the protests on Wall Street were far too familiar: “all of those quotes,” she told Bolling, referring to

Enjoy Fellas and Gals of Free Republic... Ann Coulter doing what she does best!

Ann Coulter joins board for homosexual group I 'look forward to being the queen of fabulous' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: August 10, 2011 7:36 pm Eastern © 2011 WND Ann Coulter Columnist Ann Coulter, whose work appears weekly on WND, is joining the advisory board of GOProud, the Republican homosexual activist organization whose leaders say they are "conservative." The move comes after her controversial decision last fall to speak to the group prompted another conservative conference to withdraw its speaking invitation. Coulter said in a statement, according to Chris Moody of the Yahoo.com blog The Ticket, "I am honored to serve in...

Ann Coulter appeared on Fox Business Network’s America’s Nightly Scoreboard with some advice for Republican primary voters. Coulter told them they “need to concentrate on Governors” in the race, because even though she likes Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain a lot, she doesn’t think either have the necessary credentials or experience to go all the way. Coulter also spent some describing how environmental groups are “fanatics” and wondered “couldn’t we save a lot of money getting rid of the EPA?” Yet her harshest remarks were saved for the mainstream media, as she

Move over Keith Olbermann, you may have been replaced as Ann Coulter’s favorite MSNBC host. Rachel Maddow currently holds this title. As a part of the writing process Coulter makes a conscious effort not to read other conservative’s opinions so as not to influence her work, she said. As a result, she regularly hears the opinion from the other side, including those on MSNBC, a left-leaning television news station. When The Daily Caller asked Coulter who her favorite MSNBC host was she explained the problem with Olbermann. “Well obviously [my favorite] was Keith. But sadly, he is gone. Even MSNBC...

Governor Abercrombie was part of the same early 1960s University of Hawaii Marxist student clique as Obama’s parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Stanley Ann Dunham. As he likes to say, “I was here when that baby was born.” Abercrombie’s wife, UH Prof. Nancie Caraway, was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America National Feminist Commission in the mid-1980s. Caraway’s 1991 book, Segregated Sisterhood, is dedicated to Abercrombie and to former Communist Party member Bettina Aptheker, among others. Abercrombie denies ever having been a member of the DSA, but several editions of the DSA organ, the Democratic Left, describe Abercrombie...

The Ann Arbor school district is investigating the actions - and legality - surrounding a field trip organized exclusively for black students at Dicken Elementary School last week. Superintendent Todd Roberts said the idea to take 30 black students to hear a special presentation by a black University of Michigan scientist was well-intentioned. But Roberts conceded the execution of that trip and its aftermath might not have been appropriate.

An Ann Arbor elementary school principal used a letter home to parents tonight to defend a field trip for black students as part of his school’s efforts to close the achievement gap between white and black students. Dicken Elementary School Principal Mike Madison wrote the letter to parents following several days of controversy at the school after a field trip last week in which black students got to hear a rocket scientist. “In hindsight, this field trip could have been approached and arranged in a better way," Madison wrote. "But as I reflect upon the look of excitement, enthusiasm and...

Commie thugs are after Ann Coulter again! An open letter to the University of Calgary regarding their staff member's plan to shut down the Ann Coulter speech:Dear University of Calgary I am writing to you about Jason Devine, who is an MA student at the University of Calgary. http://hist.ucalgary.ca/profiles/jason-corey-devine I emailed the University a few weeks ago because the Calgary Anti-Racist Action, a group that Jason Devine leads, was conducting a postering campaign against a young, female student on your campus, claiming that she was associated with the Aryan Guard. It turned out that the first round of posters resulted...

It cannot be said often enough that the chief of staff of the United States Army, Gen. George Casey, responded to a massacre of 13 Americans in which the suspect is a Muslim by saying: "Our diversity ... is a strength." As long as the general has brought it up: Never in recorded history has diversity been anything but a problem. Look at Ireland with its Protestant and Catholic populations, Canada with its French and English populations, Israel with its Jewish and Palestinian populations

From FOX News: Ann Coulter: "Obama Birthers" Are Wrong

ann on fox and friens

Watching her on O'Reilly tonight. Is there ANYONE who has such a command of the facts at their finger-tips like she does? I'm in love......... lol :) Ann for President!! I went to her website to e-mail her the compliment but there's no e-mail there. But I know she reads FreeRepublic! :)

I’m not the biggest Ann Coulter fan out there. I think she says things that are way out of line just for the controversy, and attention for selling books. However, when we learned that Teddy Kennedy had brain cancer we didn’t make jokes about it. It would have been easy to do, but we asked our readers to pray for him. This is what makes conservatives different than most liberals! We don’t celebrate the tragedies of others just because we don’t like them, with perhaps the exception of Fred Phelps and his cult where we might make an exception. However,...

THAT although we didn't think it would be pos sible to silence Ann Coulter, the leggy reaction- ary broke her jaw and the mouth that roared has been wired shut . . .

The story of Rush Limbaugh reminds me of a movie you wouldn’t believe could ever happen in real life. Forging his own path against all odds and under constant attack, in the end, the hero triumphs! I knew about the prominent Limbaugh family before I ever heard of Rush. I clerked for a federal appeals court judge in Kansas City after law school, and every lawyer in the Midwest has heard of the Limbaughs–the Limbaugh judges, the Limbaugh lawyers, the Limbaugh courthouse. But Rush spurned the law, spurned college and went on radio. He wanted to be on radio, so...

"Anne was, as it were, the starting-point of redemption, the horizon scanned by the prophets, the first span of the heavens to be empurpled with the rising fires of dawn; the blessed soil whose produce was so pure as to make the angels believe that Eden had been...

The other day I wrote a thread reflecting upon the question of what Ann Coulter has done to win people over to the cause of conservatism. I explained that she had for years been a women I admired and agree with her on just about every political belief. My thesis was that she is a great entertainer and has enriched herself as a result as she appeals to those who don't need a physician but her delivery is so obnoxious and un-pallatable that she wouldn't win anyone over to the cause even if she is correct. Someone replied to me...

A six-month-old zebra named Ann Curry is back where she belongs after an escape from a Florida zoo on New Year's Eve. The wild animal ran off while it was being transported to North Carolina, so it could be bred with another zebra, said Nancy Mitchell of the Shell Factory Zoo. The truck driver taking Ann had pulled over, opened the horse trailer to give her water. And that's when the zebra made her move. The zebra ran through neighborhoods for about an hour before getting caught, Mitchell said. No one was hurt by the zebra. The striped animal was...

I think Coulter summed it up nicely...

Ann Coulter Mad Libs How easy is it for the conservative provocateur to offend? Joel Stein November 2, 2007 Ann Coulter said recently that Jews like me could be "perfected" by becoming Christian. Of course she didn't express that in the most sensitive way possible. If she had said, "I could be wrong, but I personally get so much joy from the Gospels, I'd love for my Jewish friends to come to church with me one Sunday and give it a look-see," she would not be so controversial. Though she would be more annoying. After all these years of Coultering,...

This is classic Coulter! http://hotair.com/archives/2007/10/30/comedy-gold-colmes-accuses-coulter-of-anti-semitism/

Here's what I like about Ann Romney. She's not a victim. She doesn't act like a victim. Never asks for anyone's pity. Rarely mentions that she has a serious neurological disease at all. She's not a cause. Or a platform. A crusade. Or a cheerleader. She's just Ann. A woman married to the same guy for nearly 40 years, convinced he'd make a good president. You can agree or disagree on that. No disagreeing with her passion. Or commitment. Or selfless campaign style. She's a role model without ever intending to be. Because as she told me on this very...

Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, finds strength in her family and her horses – and she's emerging as a potent political force this campaign season. "Ann deserves a lot of credit," says GOP pollster Neil Newhouse. "Politicians talk about family values, Ann and Mitt Romney live them." Her husband calls her "one of America's great moms" – a description she's "totally satisfied with." Mrs. Romney, 58, invited PEOPLE into the sunshine-yellow sitting room of her Belmont, Mass., home on June 12 to talk about her Mormon faith, raising five boys, living with...

An obviously angry Ann Coulter this morning ripped into critics who deliberately distorted her comments about former senator and presidential hopeful John Edwards. After a relentless 24-hour firestorm during which much of the mainstream media used selective quotes to mangle the meaning of several of Ann’s comments about Edwards, Coulter set the record straight while talking with Joe Scarborough host of MSNBC’s "Morning Joe” program. Coulter told Scarborough: "I’ve never seen people avoid ideas so much in such an obvious way and try to alert Americans not to read anything, not to listen to something someone said — not because...

When he picked up Ann Davies for their first date, Mitt Romney left nothing to chance. He arrived in a red Marlin, a new fastback model made by his father's American Motors Co. Mitt had cleaned and polished the car until it gleamed. He brought along a bottle of sparkling Catawba grape juice and two chilled glasses. ---snip--- Mitt's Most Trusted Adviser "Ann is Mitt's life partner and is probably his closest and most trusted adviser," Myers says. "They talk about everything all the time, and her counsel is the counsel that he values most." Whether the issue is running...

Americans have waited too long for the right to vote on abortion, and the United States Supreme Court continues to drag its feet on the issue, said controversial columnist and best-selling author Ann Coulter, speaking to a packed house of more than 2,300 at the Schuster Performing Arts Center on Sunday night. Her speech was part of Dayton Right to Life's Viva la Vita 2006 and included closing remarks by Republican gubernatorial candidate J. Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio's secretary of state. Coulter took shots at Democrats for their "crazy" ideas and support for gay marriage and abortion rights. She called the...

Last week, British authorities arrested 24 members of a terrorist cell plotting to blow up about a dozen U.S.-bound planes simultaneously. As a result of those arrests, we learned: Nothing being done by airport security since 9/11 would prevent a bomb from being brought onto an airplane; and This terrorist plot -- like all other terrorist plots -- was stopped by ethnic profiling. Last week marked the first official admission that everything government airport screeners have been doing until now is completely pointless -- unless you're an airport security guard with a thing for women's undergarments, in which case it's...

Joachim and Anne, how blessed a couple! All creation is indebted to you. For at your hands the Creator was offered a gift excelling all other gifts: a chaste mother, who alone was worthy of him. Joachim and Anne, how blessed and spotless a couple! You will be known by the fruit you have borne, as the Lord says: "By their fruits you will know them." The conduct of your life pleased God and was worthy of your daughter. For by the chaste and holy life you led together, you have fashioned a jewel of virginity: she who remained...

Ann Coulter up on hardball next

Liberals are positively orgasmic over the accusations recycled from nut websites in the New York Post that bestselling author Ann Coulter plagiarized others’ writings. Oddly, the Post didn’t think these accusations were important enough to ask her about when interviewing her in early June. Perhaps this is because the accusations of plagiarism aren’t news. Calling Coulter “mean” and other four-letter words wasn’t gelling with Americans who actually know how to read, so liberals had to move on to plan B -- she’s a plagiarist! In his second article citing “plagiarism expert” and CEO of iParadigms John Barrie, New York Post...

Ann Coulter: Still Bomb N.Y. Times Ann Coulter, whose book, "Godless, The Church of Liberalism," has reached runaway best-seller status, won’t back down on comments made about bombing the New York Times main office building in Manhattan. Coulter’s comments are reverberating around the journalism world. This weekend, Editor & Publisher magazine featured this story: "Coulter Affirms Prevous Statement About Bombing 'NYT' Office.” Coulter had stated that her "only regret with [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." She added such a bombing would have been appropriate only if Times’ reporters and...

I'm fairly certain if I were to submit a manuscript titled, "Ann Coulter Is Destroying America" I'd have a six figure book deal tomorrow; such is the public fascination, or alternatively horror, with the what-will-she-say-next shtick that Coulter's been playing in the media to promote her new book, 'Godless'. David Carr, in The New York Times, looks at the current controversy in light of his previous article on Coulter, noting the transfixing dichotomy between the package and the message. Coulter's act, as we've previously noted, is the same kind of over-the-top, calculated, "look at me" stuff we've seen here previously...

Along with warp-speed and transporters, one of the stock conveniences of the science fiction genre is artificial gravity. Like most story-telling devices, such things are merely tricks – shortcuts the author uses to avoid details peripheral to the narrative. Quite often such devices obscure the fact that there is no practical solution to what is explained away. Equally as often, the story might fold without them, something relevant not only to science fiction, but political fiction as well. In politics, we frequently use artificial gravitas as a means of preventing the story from coming apart. In writing about Cindy Sheehan...

Almost 20 years ago, Rush Limbaugh made a discovery that would transform politics in America: Political commentary could be popular entertainment! Like rap music or professional wrestling! It could be so entertaining, in fact, that if one did it right, one could garner a huge audience of radio listeners. Before Limbaugh, nobody had thought of political commentary as rollicking fun. Everyone who did it took it as a deadly serious business. Columnists in newspapers and magazines were informed, articulate, only blandly partisan and often glaze-your-eyes-over boring. Only hard-core political junkies read them with lively interest. Limbaugh cooked up a new...

Hotair.com has clips of Ann Coulter's Dayside interview, one of her best yet! http://hotair.com/archives/top-picks/2006/06/21/coultermania-huddy-estrich-call-ac-out-on-dayside/

NEW YORK Ann Coulter hasn't lost any of her 100-plus newspaper clients, or the support of her syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, despite her nasty remarks in her new book about 9/11 widows and her comment in an online interview implying that, perhaps, U.S. Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) should be "fragged." A Universal spokesman said there were no discussions going on there about dropping the columnist. Why is Coulter keeping all her subscribers? "Ann's client newspapers stick with her because she has a loyal fan base of conservative readers who look forward to reading her columns in their local newspapers," Universal...

Reprinted from NewsMax.com Monday, June 12, 2006 11:36 a.m. EDT N.Y. Times: Ann Coulter 'Weaponizing' Words Ann Coulter’s knack for "weaponizing words� has led to the phenomenal success of her books, according to a New York Times article that seeks to trash the bestselling author. "Once again, Ann Coulter has a book in need of flogging, and once again, people are stunned by what a ‘vicious, ‘mean-spirited,’ ‘despicable’ ‘hate-monger’ they say she is,� David Carr writes in the Times business section’s lead story. But Carr acknowledges: "Ann Coulter knows precisely what she is saying. "Her current book,"Godless: The Church of...

With the selective outrage over Ann Coulter's comments about the "Jersey Girls" we are seeing for the hundredth time previous examples of Coulter's over the top rhetoric.The mother of all of Ann's insensitive remarks being the oft-cited but never explained comment to a (always described this way) "disabled Vietnam veteran."The quote is usually presented as it is in the Daily Kos disinformation encyclopedia dKosopedia: Veterans "People like you caused us to lose the war." (to a disabled Vietnam Veteran) MSNBC (Source) The source link Kos provides, like all of the links for this, does not work. Maybe for a reason.Because...

Despite a blizzard of negative press coverage, Ann Coulter’s new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism” has surged all the way to No. 1 on Amazon.com’s list of bestsellers -- just two days after its official publication. [Editor’s Note: Get Ann’s book much cheaper than Amazon! Go Here Now] On Wednesday Hillary Clinton lashed out at Coulter for what she called her "vicious, mean-spirited attack” on a group of outspoken 9/11 widows, whom the conservative television pundit described as "self-obsessed,” and said Coulter’s book should have been called "heartless.” The media attack on Coulter began Tuesday with her first book...

The "ladies" (I guess) of The View just lambasted Ann Coulter calling her a "bitch" several times. Barbara Wa Wa went even further, taking up for the women saying all the wanted was "more security for our county". The young conservative lady on the show tried to clarify what Coulter was actually saying when Wa Wa put Coulter's words out of context. The reaction from these ladies further proves Coulter's point.

In an exclusive interview with HUMAN EVENTS, Ann Coulter explains what motivated her to write her just-released book Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, 2006), how faith played a role, what “virtues� the Church of Liberalism promotes and much more. Get Yours FREE! What led you to write Godless: The Church of Liberalism?It’s the third of a trilogy.

AUSTIN – Former Gov. Ann Richards said Tuesday that she is undergoing chemotherapy that periodically saps her energy but is optimistic about recovery and confident she will conquer cancer of the esophagus. "There is no doubt in my mind I will recover from this," she said. "I feel really positive about it." In her first detailed public discussion about last month's cancer diagnosis, Ms. Richards, 72, said doctors would review her condition after three more weeks of chemotherapy before deciding the next step, which could include radiation or surgery. She looked strong and upbeat as she talked with reporters. Ms....
