"All Wars are the Same"
[H/t Heather]
The Blonde Ghoul with whom media "news" shows seem to enjoy conversing suggests that there is no difference between the Iraq War and World War II. They're both wars, you see.
"Yeah, I think Iraq was an important war to fight, and like I say, I think we're enjoying the benefits of it now, thank you, George Bush!"
Besides the ridiculous simplification that Coulter makes here, the CRS projects the Iraq and Afghanstan War to top one trillion dollars by the end of this year. Added to the Bush tax cuts and recent economic downturn, President Obama got to inherit a staggering deficit that will take decades from which to recover. Then there's the 6300 dead coalition troops and 41,100 additional coalition casualties who have paid the price of fighting in the Middle East since 2001. As we watch Iraq turn into a Shia-dominated government that backs Iran's power plays in the region, condones continued sectarian violence, and (my favorite part) uses US foreign military sales to obtain M1 tanks and F16 planes (in addition to other "leave-behind" defense systems), we all get to say, "thank you, George Bush. May we have another?"
I really think Coulter has been trying to pull out the stops on her inflammatory rhetoric lately becasue due to Beck, Palin, et al she seems to have been relegated to a back burner.
"LOOK AT ME!!! PLEASE!!!!! I'LL RELEASE A NEW BOOK!!!!!"
If there is a hell, she deserves it.
Don't hemorrhoids get inflamed too?

Look , no seriously! Adams' apple ..THE SAME!...... Girlish tendency....SAME! Secretly likes to dress up!!!! Same!!!!!!
Seriously, undead and takes joy in the macabre
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
"Thank you, Tranny. And now to give their perspective on the ongoing financial crisis, we'd like to bring on our next guest, a real live circus geek."
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
These children that never grew up need to be put on the back of the bus. They have not the morals or intelligence to make decisions that involve others. They are liars, they are ruthless bastards that really need the shit kicked out of them.
republicanism/conservatisn is a mental illness and it has almost killed America!
..for the shit-kicking part.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
her perspective on war(s) is pathetic. A convenience?! Joe Biden was not taking credit for Iraq, he talked about bringing our troops home as a success of the Obama Admin. "Thank you Bush" for what? There was nothing necessary about invading Iraq!
we're enjoying the benefits of it now -[Knock it off. We're tired of this childish crap-Sitemonitor] coulter
ah, yes, the benefits!
such as:
1) increased nat'l debt
2) thousands and thousands of wounded and dead US troops
3) millions of dead iraqis
4) empowered iran
5) overstretched military
Exactly!
Of course without that war, would we have ever heard of Ann? Maybe she's thanking bush for screwing everything up and giving her the ability to defend him and line her baggy pockets at the same time.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
this flatulence in human form would have found a way to inject itself into the national discourse by hook or by crook. but, no doubt, it owes a HUGE debt of gratitude to the cheney admin for provding such a wonderful opening
. . . she'd probably be in low earth orbit by now.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
watch out int'l space station!!!!
And Coulter meant to say "All of us whores are the same".
6) Guantanamo
7) diminished international reputation
Coultergeist is a horrific figure. I can only imagine a future movie or stage play based on the Bush years, with villains that represent Coultergeist, Cheney and Roger Ailes, among others.
..turning our nation into a nation of war criminals rather than a nation of laws.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
Everything is just like everything else. Simple. Now go nuts. Right Retardican? Yep, the Coultergeist is a retard.
[Please read what Judy Lou said. This word 'retard' got a bit of a reprieve because of the context in which Rahm Emanuel used it, but its time is up-Sitemonitor]

as a slam. You make yourself look bad.
You must not have any loved ones who are so afflicted.
Mentally retarded people are not generally nasty, vicious, lying, hateful, condescending, ugly, awful people like AC is. Give 'em a break.
Kudos, JudyLou!
Did David Bowie get a face lift and dye his hair?

Please don't insult Bowie. He couldn't look as bad as her on his worst day.
always kissing her ass?
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
and I'm just as bad for laughing.
lol
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
L&P can you hear that sound? It's the sound of the Site Monitor coming down the hall. Self edit and save yourself. :)
Oops, too late. Well, I tried
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
What a world we live in where such loathsome beings are called upon to voice opinions on matters of the utmost gravity.
The only public utterance this vile harpy should make is "Would you like fries with that, sir?"
..paper or plastic?
My apologies to box boys and girls everywhere.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
We used real boxes and string.
"Let's talk dirty to the animals"
What a COUNTRY we live in where such loathsome beings are called upon to voice opinions , the rest of the world has more sense and is still relatively sane . That a vile , despicable , no class fountain of shit like this gets air time and is promoted by the MSM says it all about our country , "America the beautiful" died some time ago and can't be revived .
. . . why is Obama continuing the dance without missing a beat, and filling up the rest of his dance card with Bush-like policies in Afghanistan and heavy fearmongering about Iran?
Yeah, Coulter's a hypocrite and a liar, but if there's a difference in current Middle East policy over the last administration's, it's pretty difficult to spot.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
One adminstration starting a war, the other administration got stuck with the clean up. In both cases the situation was worsen by Bush policies (carelessness in Afghanistan, recklessness starting Iraq).
We further broke these countries and we need to bandage it up at least enough to midigate more damage.
The idea of just pulling up shop and leaving only sets us up for another post-Soviet Afghanistan. The middle east is not Viet Nam for the sake of international terrorists.
It is a sad fact that more people have died in these wars than terrorists have kills outside of them....
. . . to protect us from less than 100 Al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Sounds like Al Qaeda isn't an actual reason or justification - just an excuse.
And I'm afraid that the concept of bombing and occupying countries for their own good is a bit lost on me.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
The truth about the WAR on Terror:
"A UN nuclear watchdog report suggests Iran could be developing a nuclear bomb, apparently confirming long-held suspicions in the West. But Tehran denies the claims, again insisting that its atomic intentions are peaceful. Michel Chossudovsky, who's from an independent Canadian policy research group, believes that what Iran says hardly matters, because the U.S. is planning for war".

L.A. It was all I could do not to spit on or assault her. How could she even go out in public?
And, if she can't tell the difference between WWII and Iraq, then I guess there's only one place for her, FOX news.
Did you get cooties?
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
just to make sure I didn't do something.
I often remind myself that the object of my scorn is never worth jail time.
me-oww!
but that would be cruelty to animals.
NOBODY 2012
Well Coulter should know. Ohhhh....WARS! All WARS are the same. Oh well, for Coulter it's the same thing, just something else those awful libruls can't do anywhere near as good as a Republican.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
coultergist is just a over-used douche bag on stilts.
....it's all the same TO HER. She has nothing to lose and everything to gain from the strife of war. So long as she can flap her gums and make her coin as a neocon propanandist mouthpiece, she could give two shits about any of it. A selfish, myopic shill if I ever saw one.
edit:
whoops! sorry, dadams, if that was confusing as that was meant as a new comment. Somehow I clicked 'reply' to yours.
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
Here is clip of Howard Zinn arguing that even the least controversial wars like the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II were wars that may not have been worth fighting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zUS_oh4XeU
RIP Howard Zinn
had hitler taken europe and japan taken asia and then turned their sites on america
and wouldve been a much better world had the nazis finished the job and killed all the jews
of course, zinn wouldnt be around to make idiotic statements...
there were many ways to have stopped Hitler, well before we got into WW 2, Zinn knows this, why don't you?
OK I'm gonna say it, because nobody seems to want to state the obvious. When we were attacked on 911, the Bush administration looked at that as a golden business opportunity. Forget all the flag waving and chest puffing by these cretins.
Yup.
Corruption favors the wealthy.
....but certainly bears repeating.
+1
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
Hell.. the profit taking off 911 started even before the actual attack ? did. Bush was never able to find and prosecute the " put option" folks either. Rumour has it the investigation led to some pretty fancy doors so Bush killed that investigation too. Bush could'nt catch a fucking cold.
..nothing, they were probably bummed out they couldn't just go into Iraq without first going to Afghanistan. cheney was probably salivating at the chance to torture people.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
i just feel sorry for her.
what a shallow existence.
I can't imagine a situation short of an illness she might have that would make me feel sorry for her. She's made a shit load of money telling lies and for that she does not have my mercy.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
i just feel sorry for
herit.FIFY
in a republic we deserve our wars.
without a society of imperialists these wars for profits would never occur.
this is not about ann or george it is about a society that has bought into a system called capitalism.
until americans lose their love affair with capitalism these wars for profits will continue.
and I mean almost all americans demos and repubs alike are imperialist to the core of their beliefs.
the universe will not allow this to continue as self destruction is occuring now in america.
what would the universe be without karma.
the christians dont have a clue what we sow we reap really means.
the set themselves up as a fast track to heaven no matter how many people they kill in their wars for profits.
capitalism will create a selfish war mongering society we are living proof of that. ann and george are a reflection of most americans.
take a drive through the southern states then you will see the true reflection of americans imperialism.
If the Iraq War is as necessary as fighting Nazi Germany then Ann Coulter is Hermann Göring.
Just image how the current batch of Americans would perform against the Nazis. They'd hold out about as long as Austria, if you know what I mean...
..if we had a draft?
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
Because people like G.W. Bush's Grand Pappy would be in power, with Ann Coulter at the megaphone.
.
Oh Annthrax, please go OD on Cipro.
I can't begin to correct this torrent of mis-information but one thing did stand out, yes Hitler did not attack us in 1941, he declared war on us after Pearl Harbor and can you imagine the reactions of the Ann Coulters of that time, if we had done nothing.
They DID attack us. I wish people read their history.
Though the Germans did attack our freighters.
At first the supply freighters were sent to supply Britain under other flags. They were sunk. Well, many were sunk.
Then the US sent them under the US flag. They too were fired upon and many were sunk. Millions and millions of tonnage were lost to the Wolf packs.
But, it wasn't until the attack on Pearl Harbor that the US declared war.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
And they called FDR a socialist.
Little has changed.
See what happens when you don't prosecute for war crimes. It leaves these dogma spewing extremists believing they were just in their actions.
And if Ann (the man) Coulter wants to make analogies between WWII and Iraq try this:
One country invaded another without provocation.
Innocent civilians were killed because they were “unavoidable”.
An entire group of people were demonized because of their religious affiliation.
And the provocateurs had a leader who believed he was appointed by God to carry out his work here on earth.
Well Ann I guess I owe you an apology, there is a connection, huh!
..think that the vomit that comes out of ann coulter's mouth is in any way intelligent? Now, try and convince the unwashed masses that think she's in some way, truthful. Of course, w was only responsible for the death of 1,ooo,ooo Iraqi's as well as not catching obl in afghanistan which he promised he'd do. But, he lied, he murdred and he tortured and the obama administration will let him get away with it.

Can she say that? If she threatens me with a baseball bat, can I threaten her with a bucket of white phosphorus?
..better be a pretty big bat. The last guy didn't do so good.

Bitch came at me with a bat she'd find it up her own ass. Unlike her I've actually worn the uniform of my country. For ten long years. I hate people like her. Oh, so willing to send others off to die for her beliefs. She is beneath contempt.
As a general rule I steer clear of people in uniforms -- in whatever country I'm in -- but I know all you were used is the worst kind of way and I realize many of you know it. I wish there was some way to verify who is who ;-)
I am proud to have served my country. I got drafted during Viet Nam so I joined the Navy. My choices were stark - go in the service or go to jail. College wasn't an option at the time. I was lucky - didn't have to go to Nam. Got asked to "volunteer" for Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I declined. I live out in San Diego County. I got the G.I. Bill out of it and graduated from a good school. Did four years active duty and six years active reserves. Can't complain - it got me out of Detroit. The Viet Nam War was wrong. No one can convince me otherwise. Same as Iraq.
I've known some other Vietnam veterans, but they were not so savvy. One -- from Detroit -- thought it would be an adventure and enlisted three times(!), invaded Cambodia in May 1970, rooted around VC tunnels, came home, got spit on, and punched that girl in the nose. Another I met here in Brazil told me that the Vietnam War was justified, because... "I grew up on John Wayne and Vietnam needed more Howard Johnsons".
There are some real dumb-asses in the US; too bad the smart & decent ones of our time have had to suffer watching these losers run the show.
One thing about the Vietnam War... the positive aspect of the draft: a member of a citizen army instinctively understands whether or not he is engaged in a defensive or offensive war. Some draftees in Vietnam figured things out, and... uhm... took care of business. Draftees get it. Mercenaries do not give a f**k.
Why is Ann Coulter on CNN? Why do NEWS NETWORKS put on this trash? I seriously despise her because she is full of hate. She's the type that laughs at funerals.
And what "benefits" is she talking about? The overblown deficit? Our ruined reputation around the world? The dead troops? The troops that do come home and can't get the help they need?
Fuck you Ann.
NOBODY 2012
People like her incite terrorism.
She's just like my sister in Texas who told me that I should be shot the next time I enter the country. (While her husband/F-15 jock was on the other end of the phone, waiting for the request to "do the deed" -- right after my mother told me he would shoot me if he saw me.)
I am sick of this shit! They are terrorists!
.
That is sad. They obviously don't understand what he is protecting as member of our own armed forces. As a veteran I find that a sorry state of affairs.
Because this country has become the cesspool of the world that's why , America the beautiful is dead . I tell ya , I've never been prone to violence but some people just beg to get knocked out , I'd love to grant their request , gender not important in this case .
Funny, I don't remember her in the forefront advocating for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
As much foolishness Coulter spews into the atmosphere, her words had some interesting truths:
"We established a foothold in the Middle East" -- Essentially saying, the neo-cons fought this war with American lives not to destroy our enemies, but to establish an American empire in the region>
"We knocked out a guy, whether or not we found the stockpiles leading to WMD's who was attempting to assassinate a former President of the US" - Or, we don't care that he was once our buddy in the mideast, we wasted American lives because Junior was pissed off that Poppy might get plugged.
"We established a democracy in that god-forsaken region of the world"
Which God, Anne? Our Christian God? They already their own God, dearie, he's called Allah. So, it's not 'god-forsaken', Anne you incredible slut. The sheer arrogance of the Christian right makes my head explode.
"In Iraq, we have an Arab Israel". Great, just what we needed, another client state to suck from Uncle Sam's money tit. Not to mention yet another state we can sell weapons to which they pay for with our foreign aid.

I never had one that big or that painful shoved up there before. What a favor you did for me.
Also I hear Cheney is in the hospital, I also heard waterboarding is the new CPR...quick someone rush over and try it out on him. I'm sure it will save his life!
That broom stick loves her blonde hair doesn't she? She has to put as much as she can in the front to show it off. She's like a sad caricature of herself. How long she going to let that shit grow anyway? She's starting to look like Cousin fucking It! Talks like him too! lol!

I don't watch any of these shows, and haven't for years.
Just seeing the clips on C & L's, reminds me everyday - that I am living in a rightwing corporate fascist Orwellean shithole!
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
I can't stand the fact that I forced myself through that clip twice, but I thought I must have missed something the first time around.
Nowhere in this clip does Coulter say that "all wars are the same". She doesn't even suggest any such thing.
This isn't the first time that C&L has printed complete non-quotes inside quotation marks. Seriously -- please stop doing that.
you know what i wrote is a fact
the woman is downright stupid
do i need to post the vid where the cbc reporter has to point out that canada never sent troops to nam?
coulter doesnt mistate facts purposefully to obfuscate...she is dumb
and the above poster is an apologist for stupidity
Coulter is stupid.
Coulter is a liar.
I make no apologies for Ann Coulter.
But I also think it helps nobody to attack people for things that they haven't done.
Despite the fact that the clip is pretty short, there's still plenty of crazy in it that I could attack if I felt the need, but I tend to leave that for the people at C&L. Today C&L disappointed me.
dont see what your point is
BUT HE DECLARED WAR ON US, YOU IDIOT!
Apologies for the shouting, but- Sweet Baby Jesus!- that's a rewrite of history that can't be allowed to stand.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
german espionage occuring pre the declaration of war...which would be considered acts of war
plus, he did attack allies
the only reason we didnt get into the war before pearl harbor was because of the chicken shit repukes
thats right...back then repukes were isolationist scum and it was the dems who were the patriots
It's not a surprise this cretin would compare WWII to Iraq, her entire knowledge of that war is based entirely off of old John Wayne movies, myth. She and those like her have no concept of history, WWII is so unlike every other war that came before and since. In many ways it's an anomoly as wars go. It gave the G.O.O.P a working narative to go with; us as the ultimate good-guys fighting against evil.
I'd like to se this Stygian witch try and compare the First World War if she dares.
