Andrew Klavan looks at the conservative commentators most demonized by the mainstream media: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Ann Coulter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqgYpfsrcJw&feature=sub

AT THE END OF THE DAY, DIVERSITY HAS JUMPED THE SHARK, HORRIFICALLYNovember 18, 2009 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. Or consider...

She is a striking brunette with a decidedly outspoken attitude. She lambasts President Barack Obama as a socialist and has become the darling of America's right-wing activists who flock to her appearances. She is hated by liberals and loved by conservatives. Sarah Palin? Not quite. Meet Michele Bachmann, a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota who is being hailed as a new and increasingly powerful voice in American politics

Here is video of Ann Coulter on with Bill O'Reilly tonight where she discussed the reaction to the murder of abortion-doctor George Tiller as compared to the reaction to the terror attack against American soldiers at Fort Hood by Nidal Malik Hasan. Coulter pointed out that the media reaction to Tiller's killing was immediate and labeled the killer a religious fanatic. But when all evidence points to Hasan's Islamic Jihadist beliefs as the source of his action, President Obama and others are doing everything they can to simply make this a "crime" rather than a terrorist act based on his...

MUSLIM SUFFERS BRUISED EGO IN FORT HOOD TRAGEDYNovember 11, 2009 The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America." According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems. President Obama honored the victims by immediately warning Americans not to "jump to conclusions" -- namely, the obvious conclusion that...

BONUS COLUMN! FT HOOD AND GUILTY: LIBERAL 'VICTIMS' AND THEIR ASSAULT ON AMERICA by Ann Coulter November 9, 2009 Last week, thirteen troops at Fort Hood did not survive America’s culture of victimhood, described in my book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. In modern America, the guilty are sanctified, while the innocent never stop paying – including with their lives, as they did at Fort Hood. Before shooting up a medical facility on that Army base, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan reportedly shouted “Allahu Akbar.” While Hasan gave a shout-out to Allah before shooting, President Obama gave...

ELECTION 2009: CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN! -- MSNBC, Aug. 31, 2009, Keith Olbermann on Robert F. McDonnell, Republican candidate for governor of Virginia: "In [McDonnell's master's thesis], he described women having jobs as detrimental to the family, called legalized use of contraception illogical, pushed to make divorce more difficult, and insisted government should favor married couples over, quote, 'cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.' Wow. When did he write this? 1875? No, 1989. Wow, 1989. "Goodbye, Mr. McDonnell." -- MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2009, Rachel Maddow also on McDonnell: "And here's where the conservative movement and the Republican establishment smash into each...

Ann Coulter & FOX's Geraldo Rivera Debate Rush Limbaugh vs. President Obama War - 11/01/09

Here is video of Ann Coulter and Geraldo sparring over Rush Limbaugh's interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Geraldo called Limbaugh's use of the phrase "man-child President" to refer to Obama as an example of Rush being a "racial provocateur." Coulter completely disagreed with Geraldo. . . . (VIDEO)

"This white trash idiot"

A good exchange.

I'LL PASS ON 'OPTING OUT' October 28, 2009 The Democrats' all-new "opt out" idea for health care reform is the latest fig leaf for a total government takeover of the health care system. Democrats tell us they've been trying to nationalize health care for 65 years, but the first anyone heard of the "opt out" provision was about a week ago. They keep changing the language so people can't figure out what's going on. The most important fact about the "opt out" scheme allegedly allowing states to decline government health insurance is that a state can't "opt out" of...

She appears on Geraldo.

Oddly enough, both her and O'Reilly seem to give Anita Dunn a pass on the Mao quote.

She debates some dude from the Clintoon state department.

Watching her irritate Joy Behar is worth the price of admission.

A good exchange.

THE GRATING COMMUNICATOR October 21, 2009 The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston's Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean's breast implants. That's understandable. But I think the administration should have picked someone other than David Axelrod to deliver the claim that Fox News is "not really news," inasmuch as Axelrod was behind the leak of scurrilous allegations in Jack Ryan's sealed divorce papers when he was running for a Senate seat against Obama. Talk about vicious...

Here is video of Ann Coulter reacting to Rush Limbaugh being dropped from the Rams bid on "Hannity." Ann Coulter said that "the NFL is very easily spooked by crazy Left-Wing hoaxes." She also asked "if what Right-Wingers say is so outrageous, then why don't they ever quote us accurately?" Hannity asked Coulter about the hypocrisy of Al Sharpton leading the charge against Rush Limbaugh, despite all of his own controversial statements. Ann Coulter said that "It's like having Michael Vick be the dog catcher, it's very crazy." (Video)

NATURAL-BORN LOSERSOctober 14, 2009 The question of whether President Obama should send more troops to Afghanistan misses the point. What Obama really needs to do is: Invent a time machine, go back to the 2008 presidential campaign and not say, over and over and over again, that Afghanistan was a "war of necessity" while the war in Iraq was a "war of choice." (Oh, and as long as you're back there, ditch Van Jones, Valerie Jarrett and that gay "school safety" czar.) The most important part of warfare is picking your battlefield, and President Bush picked Iraq for a reason....

Here is video of Ann Coulter debating Al Sharpton on President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. This debate occurred over the weekend on Geraldo's show. Coulter said she is surprised the Nobel Committee is not being accused of "racism" for waiting as long as they did to give him the award! Sharpton essentially admitted he has been given the award for being a "transformative" figure in winning the election in 2008 and setting a different "tone." Coulter interpreted Sharpton's statement "transformative," to mean because Obama is a black man. Coulter asked if Obama is going to receive a "Tony...

Larry King Live featured a long session with Ann Coulter and Kiki McLean Wednesday night.During the interview, King asked Coulter about the recent Saturday Night Live skit about Obama running through a check list of his failures as president and whether this was the beginning of a trend of media criticism of Obama.Ann said Michelle Obama would turn on Obama before Saturday Night Live would and that the skit was good fun.She then noted that websites like Free Republic were criticizing CNN for fact-checking the comedy skit.Check this link later for CNN's transcript of the show.

PART 7October 7, 2009 (18) America's lower life expectancy compared to countries with socialist health care proves that their medical systems are superior. President Obama has too much intellectual pride to make such a specious argument, so instead we have to keep hearing it from his half-wit supporters. These Democrats are all over the map on where precisely Americans place in the life-expectancy rankings. We're 24th, according to Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Barbara Boxer;...

Ann Coulter spoke today at the Roland Hayes Concert Hall, University of Tennessee - Chattanooga. I was there. She arrived on stage to a standing ovation from the capacity crowd, a reaction which was repeated 2 more times during the event. Her lecture lasted around an hour. She touched on a variety of subjects, but generally stuck to her theme, "Change in American Government". In her sharp, witty way, she contrasted Democrats and Republicans, citing numerous examples of the differences on a variety of topics. On war, she illustrated how the Democrats tend to fight for show, not for victory...

(17) America's low ranking on international comparisons of infant mortality proves other countries' socialist health care systems are better than ours. America has had a comparatively high infant mortality rate since we've been measuring these things, going back to at least the '20s. This was the case long before European countries adopted their cradle-to-grave welfare schemes and all while the U.S. was the wealthiest country on Earth. One factor contributing to the U.S.'s infant mortality rate is that blacks have intractably high infant mortality rates -- irrespective of age, education, socioeconomic status and so on. No one knows why. Neither...

Here is video of Ann Coulter on the Joy Behar Show, where she went back and forth with Behar about Sarah Palin. Behar said Palin was "incoherent" - unable to "put a sentence together." Ann Coulter disagreed, pointing out that Palin's Facebook comment about there being "Death Panels" in the ObamaCare bill totally turned the whole debate around. Coulter said, "That's a powerful woman." Behar did agree with Coulter that Palin is "powerful in a certain way - I have to admit it." Below is the full interview Behar did with Ann Coulter . . .

Here is video of Ann Coulter on with Sean Hannity tonight, where she sounded off on the United Nations speeches today, and the Democrats' determination to pass some kind of a Health Care Bill that will be the "camel nose under the tent," which she said twice, will "be the end of the Republican Party." Coulter believes any kind of Government Health Care will be "such a game-changer" that it will obligate people to the government to the extent that the long-term impact will be people voting for Democrats. She believes Democrats will be willing to use the Nuclear Option...

LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE, PART 5September 23, 2009 (15) Democrats lost Congress in 1994 because President Clinton failed to pass national health care. I'm not sure if this is another example of the left's wishful-thinking method of analysis or if they're seriously trying to trick the Blue Dog Democrats into believing it. But I gather liberals consider the 1994 argument an important point because it was on the front page of The New York Times a few weeks ago in place of a story about Van Jones or ACORN. According to a news story by Jackie Calmes: "In...

LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE: BONUS JOE WILSON EDITION!September 16, 2009 I'm trying to get to the next installment of my Pulitzer Prize-deserving series on liberal lies about national health care, but apparently liberals have decided to torture us by neurotically fixating on one lie. After President Barack Obama gave a speech to a joint session of Congress last week passionately defending his national health care plan, the Democrats were agog at the brilliance of the speech. Nancy Pelosi was so thrilled, her expression almost changed. But as Obama ticked off one demonstrably false claim after another -- eliciting...

LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE: FOURTH IN A SERIES by Ann CoulterSeptember 9, 2009 (12) Only national health care can provide "coverage that will stay with you whether you move, change your job or lose your job" -- as Obama said in a New York Times op-ed. This is obviously a matter of great importance to all Americans, because, with Obama's economic policies, none of us may have jobs by year's end. The only reason you can't keep -- or often obtain -- health insurance if you move or lose your job now is because of ... government...

... Coulter committed what many see as the unpardonable sin of attacking "birthers" – those "nuts" and "fruitloops" like me who actually want to see Barack Obama release his birth certificate and other documents he is so clearly hiding from the American public – documents crucial to knowing who our president really is and whether he is constitutionally eligible to hold office. ... to suggest that anyone has investigated this story more thoroughly than WND demonstrates real ignorance.

Charles Davenport: Too many fatherless children Sunday, August 23, 2009 By Charles Davenport Jr.Freelance When a young man was shot to death three weeks ago at Hickory Trails in Greensboro, this newspaper's editorial board declared the broad-daylight killing "unacceptable." Rightly so. "Also inexcusable," the editors continued, "is the neglect by the institutions responsible for the safety and welfare of the residents of this public housing complex."Those who dig deeper into this and other senseless killings, said the editors, will find that "the stories get darker: gangs, drugs, guns and fear."Nudged and nearly trampled by an unacknowledged elephant in the room,...

Brooklyn's chief librarian has yanked a nearly 80-year-old book from the shelves because it depicts Africans as monkeys. Tintin Au Congo is the only book in the city library system hidden from public view after a reader complained that it was "racially offensive." The popular Belgian children's work - due to be made into a movie by Steven Spielberg - is locked behind a series of hidden doors on the third floor of Brooklyn's central library. "'Tintin au Congo' was relocated," said director Richard Reyes-Gavilan. Library officials across the city said they've debated pulling about 25 books and DVDs from...

LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE: FIRST IN A SERIESAugust 19, 2009(1) National health care will punish the insurance companies. You want to punish insurance companies? Make them compete. As Adam Smith observed, whenever two businessmen meet, "the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices." That's why we need a third, fourth and 45th competing insurance company that will undercut them by offering better service at a lower price. Tiny little France and Germany have more competition among health insurers than the U.S. does right now. Amazingly, both of these socialist countries...
