Ann Coulter plays the victim to get back on the TODAY show. Her book claims 'liberal victimhood'
By John Amato Wednesday Jan 07, 2009 4:59pmYeah, I know, but I have to, I really do. Matt Drudge falsely accused NBC of banning Coultergeist from their network because they cancelled a spot over a Tony Blair appearance.
Drudge has put forth so many falsehoods that he should be ignored by the press, (but is hailed as the king of the world) and Ann says this with a straight face.
COULTER: The point is, I was canceled twice. And it wasn't until the Drudge Report ran a headline on its own reporting -- and the Drudge Report has never had to retract a report the way --
LAUER: You know -- you know what -- you know what that expression is --
COULTER: -- NBC News has.
LAUER: -- just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you don't have enemies. But anyway, let's get to the --
COULTER: Let's get to the reason --
Wow, that's never happened in show business before. I was cancelled a few times because other news breaks and the focus shifts. But she has never been afraid to play the conservative victim before. Nobody does it better than her.
Conservatives have almost destroyed this country for the last 8 years, but to Coutler it's all B. Hussein Obama. Well, her new book is called Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, and that's what she did to get back onto NBC. (Guilty: Coulter's latest book filled with falsehoods) She couldn't wait to get back onto the network that wants to destroy America in O'Reilly's mind. And let us not forget when she was on with Vieira she said that Rudy Giuliani was crazy enough to "nuke" Iran. That's something that really builds bridges.
But she'll always have a nice slice of the TODAY Show no matter how hate filled her books are or what she says. Remember when C&L break open her attacks on the 9/11 Widows? The blogosphere went wild and then the media followed.
Bill O'Reilly was upset that the 9/11 widows gave me their response to Coulter's attack before the traditional media.
After Ann got through blabbering about Drudge, Lauer confronted her on her idiotic writings, called them venomous and over the line. She looked pretty dazed and confused in her usual garb, attempting to defend her attack on single moms while trying to sound sane. I'm pretty proud of C&L's push to get a sane pundit like Rachel Maddow on the TODAY Show. She has so much class that it must really be freaking Coulter out. You know, I doubt Coulter would ever debate me at all. I tried to set that up once already, but she balked...

Balk...balk...balk...balk...balk...balk...balk...
Drudge an Coulter both discovered in the nineties that hate mongering was a very profitable enterprise.
I'm sure they are both delighted the Dems are back in power. The corporate media will feed their need and their pocketbook at the same time.
...
Why are they still inviting that harpy on? I believe the old excuse was that the national 'zeitgeist' was Conservative, and so voices like Coulter's should be aired.
What's the excuse now? People are sick of these hate-filled, far-right nut-jobs.
what she will look like in ten years, wearing the same short skirts with boots and the same hairstyle, salivating over her love affair with the pro-torture, pro-pollution, pro-war, pro-white crowd when all she really is committed to is Ann Coulter's retirement plan.
Just imagine an old barfly with a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other, when she swings her head as old potbelly calls her name the wig slips and stays askew on her head as she says in that gravelly voice..."Yes dear?"
I say it every time she rears her head - ignore her and she'll go away.
C&L and everybody else should quit giving her all of this free publicity. She is a publicity troll. Follow your own rule, JA, and stop feeding her, fun as it may be.
I see her going out, alone and forgotten, a la Marie Provost.
'Annie Coulter did not look her best
The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
in the cheap hotel up on Hollywood west
July 29
She'd been lyin' there for two or three weeks
The neighbors said they never heard a squeak
While hungry eyes that could not speak
Said even little doggie's have got to eat
She was a winner
The became a doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
(But now I see) Oh poor Annie'
Nick Lowe, sue me.
People like Ann Coulter get on the major networks anytime she writes a book, yet people like Dr. David Ray Griffin or Richard Gage are regularly ignored by the people responsible for keeping us informed.
Why isn't Sibel Edmonds on TV. These are credible people. We live in a bizarro world where Ann Coulter is considered respectable or newsworthy, and people like David Griffin and Richard Gage are considered out of bounds and or kooks.
It's a sad state about human nature.

Is she nuts? Americans are losing their jobs and the country is being flushed down the crapper and she thinks Americans want to be divided. Americans want to keep their jobs, pay for their housing and put food on the table. Bush's greatest accomplishment was keeping us safe? So did Clinton, but I don't see her tooting his horn (not that he would take it from her).
I thought that was food on their family.
didn't Lauer say, "Um, I'm not sure he kept us safe for 8 years. 911 did happen on his watch." I wish one of these interviewers would take her to task.
"Conservatives have almost destroyed this country for the last 8 years, but to Coutler it's all B. Hussein Obama. "
NEO-Conservatives are not conservatives. Republicans hid under a conservative banner to get elected and spent worse than democrats, started endless wars and stripped citizens of their God given rights. They got exactly what they deserved.
Now lets see if Obama will actually stand up against the Patriot Act.
She is pure garbage. Do not put in the recycle bin.
I'm glad I don't watch morning television, if this is what is being shown.
The last I saw of Coulter (and Chrissy Matthews) was when she was openly bashing Elizabeth Edwards. Stopped watching them both.
/works 2nd shift. Doesn't view morning TV no matter how ridiculous.
I haven't seen you in awhile. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
I couldn't help but catch a little of this this morning. It ruined my day hearing her voice.
Did she roll her eyes like a 12 year old girl?
What is she talking about Drudge never had to retract a report? Matt Drudge accused Sidney Blumenthal of beating of beating his wife, then RETRACTED the story the NEXT DAY.
I wish someone would do an interview with her consisting of nothing but laughing as she spews her lies. She is heeee-larious. You could end the interview by saying, "Ann Coulter always good to see you. Sill childless right? Beautiful."
A teenaged graffiti artist might grow up to be a famous and notable artist some day, but Drudge will always be a bottom-feeding parasite sucking off society's underside. Candy sprinkles on a turd don't make it a donut.
Now Drudge is a news source? When did this happen? His site just links to other sites. That's not news. Wow, She has no standards what is news and is self centered.

That Ann Coulter is a Class-A Skank goes without saying. I've seen crack whores that could upstage her. That she will say anything, no matter how transparently specious or vile, to get on TV also is beyond argument. As I see it, however, the central problem here is the fact that TV outlets are actually giving her airtime.
This skank thrives on the oxygen furnished by her appearances on network and cable television. Deny her such venues and she will wither up and die. Not that she doesn't already look like a corpse, mind you...
[deleted--do not advocate violence -- even pay cable violence -- on this site]
coltergist is disease that grows
on warm shit. like walking a dog,
just carry a bag to put over her
head if you ever encounter her on
the street.
Y-A-W-W-W-N-N-N-N!!!!
an upswing in viewership, now that so many more people are out of work and now home at that timeslot? Most working people I
knowknew were commuting to work at that time, not sucking up Lauer and Coulter.http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Drudge_retr...
do something like a "Pop-up Video" in which her lies and factual errors are exposed on the screen right after she says them. Didn't someone do something like "Pop-up Double-talk?"
She clearly will not make a coherent argument when an obnoxious logical fallacy or out and out lie will do. She thrives on attacks, slippery evasions of questions, and outrageous distortions to a pathological degree. For that show to buckle and host her makes me sad. We just don’t need this brand of anti-intellectualism anymore—in fact, the state of the country and the world is so precarious, we can not afford to suffer fools like her at all. I wrote NBC, and I hope others do too. It;s time we decide where to put our focus instead of passively letting these corporations do it and make a profit.
And his show is nothing.
It is a dog and pony show.
They love to have racists and anti-semites and fascists on because all the liberals love to watch and shake their fists.
i guess those 'thank you' notes didn't work on nbc...
don't i feel silly...
JEEEEEEZUUS, What a petulant Whiny Bitch.
Thank goodness After a few minutes I can't hear it talking anymore because I get mesmerized watching it's adams apple bob up and down while it bleats
Now I remember why I turn the channel every time I see that horse face on TV
but we'd have a fuck of a lot less debt if there weren't so many shady women out there dropping husbands, putting tons of city/county/state employees to work bilking every penny from those husbands (forcing those husbands to put city/county/state employees to work on enforcing fathers' rights), then turning around and putting their kids on dr00gs because their kids get hyper and they can't deal.
I know I'm over-generalizing, but common y'all. don't tell me you haven't seen it. that stereotype is about as prevalent as it gets here in the states, with the UK running a close second.
and all of that crap, that 50% or more divorce rate crap, manifests into a lot of kids growing up to snort more dr00gs, get crappy grades (causing more city/county/state employees to work harder), and eventually turn to crime.
don't take my word for it. google the statistics. so just like a broken clock is right twice a day, she really hit the nail on the head with this one. a chick who divorces her husband so she can have a guilt-free month of great sex with the milkman, is not a "single mother"... she's a "divorced mother".
my dad died when I was 5. I was raised by a single mom.
my cousin's mom - like so many women - left my uncle, took my cousin, filed for divorce, and spent the next 7 years in an ugly custody battle that fucked with my cousin's head and sent cops out to my uncle's house on false reports about every 6 months.
my mom was noble. my aunt? weeeeellll... not so much. she was more of a drain on society. and there's a lot of women like her these days. I applaud and love this site for being heartbreakingly honest... lets be honest... a lot of our nation's "single moms" are a severe frickin drain on society these days.
raise of hands everybody. how many of you know a man with kids who doesn't want to see his kids. a "deadbeat dad".
how many of you know a divorced woman who gets angry at the thought of her ex-husband seeing her kids and works hard to prevent this? can we please not lump those types in with the truly noble "single mothers" ?
*****
having said all that?
I said it before and I'll say it again. I googled Ann Coulter. she's never been married, never been engaged, and never birthed - nor raised - a child.
families are complicated. she is well outside of her intellectual jurisdiction to talk about whats "wrong" or "right" with America's families. looking to her for advice on families is about as absurd as asking a pacifist to teach a Marine how to clean his rifle.
How dare you generalize a fucking stupid post like that? Yes, I know fathers who want to see their kids, but haven't paid one cent for their care for more than four years.
You have got some fucking nerve.
Although I have seen the side of the coin burnt is describing, it is a little much generalizing everyone with the same brush.
Oh, and by the way, although we do have differences, thank you for your thoughts posted earlier.
You were in the right there. I don't dislike you, CC, just many of your views. (Actually, there is only one person here whom I truly dislike.) And I don't dislike Burnt, but the generalization posted is not healthy for the mothers or fathers who have to deal with divorce and children.
I dealt with various situations long ago (I was an online counselor, of sorts) and some of the things men did were the most awful things imaginable one could do to their children (and I am not talking sexually). Women do the same. There is only one way to deal with it and that is to put children first, but too many people are too hurt to do so and the children suffer. No matter what, you should never mind fuck your own children. Ever. But you cannot scapegoat one side over the other. Guys suck as much as women.
How dare you lump all single women with children into one slutty category? There are PLENTY of men who are a drain on our society, too, buddy. I agree with MsJoanne...you got a lot of fucking nerve.
This is an excerpt from wikipedia on "single parent":
Single parenting is strongly associated with an increased risk of a number of negative social, behavioral and emotional outcomes for children. However while the association is strong, on balance the effect size and the actual numbers affected are modest. Most children from single parent families do well. Many factors influence how children develop in single-parent families: the parent's age, education level, and occupation; the family's income, and the family's support network of friends and extended family members (including the non-resident parent, if available). Disadvantages in these factors that often accompany single parenting appear to cause most of this association rather than single parenting itself [13] [14].
Shocking headlines do get published; for example a 2003 Swedish study, stated that those living with a single parent were about three times more likely to either kill themselves or end up in the hospital after an attempted suicide by the age of 26 than children living with two parents, however this only happened to 2.2 percent of girls and 1 percent of boys [15]. While such a finding is concerning, clearly the vast majority of the children of single parents do not kill themselves.
A variety of viewpoints do exist, with different readings of the research possible. The Institute for the Study of Civil Society reports that children of single parents, after controlling for other variables like family income, are more likely to have problems [16]. There are impacts of sole parenting on children, however the weight of the evidence does not appear to support a view that sole parents are a major cause of societal ills and are doing irreparable damage to their children [14].
(Also, it goes without saying that anecdotal evidence is a contradiction in terms.)
95% of the prison population is christian.
There goes your hypothesis, ann....
There is but one person who stands right next to Coultergeist as another insufferable face: Matt Lauer.
I can't stand either of them, so why do I care about this story?
Answer: I don't.
Anne Got Her Gun Coulter books out on week one with a fan fair, reduced price on week two, off the display week three, in the back selves week four, remaindered by publisher week five. Good thing they still print her stuff on pulp grade paper stock.
she just doesn't get it, she's yesterday's news. goodbye. please no more of her.
this person is such old news, why is he still allowed on television? What credentials does Mr. Coulter bring to any argument? Why don't interviewers show him past appearances, where he looks like a total buffoon with absolutely no facts to present about anything? 15 minutes of fame, my ass. Even Republicans don't like this guy dressed as a girl. Why is it even given air time? To listen to the media, there is a left and a rightwing society living in the US. Well I'm sorry, but this thing is neither.
(S)he still sells books.
Not to actual people but to the bookstores...
I've never met anyone that admitted to buying one.
I gave up that show shortly before Ms Katie 'Billion Dollar' Couric left.
(Door) Matt Lauer is such a tool and I can't even stand Ann Curry and Al Roker's wicked blunt edge is too harsh. I liked him when he was fat and worthless rather than anorexic and vicious...
Goodbye to bad garbage...
So who did Pinky leave Brain for, Snowball?
It just goes to show you how smart Ann Coulter is. Anyone, and I mean anyone with a computer can glean bits and pieces off the Internet and create a website using goofy loglines.

...makes me sick to my stomach. Grovel much, Matt.
And I will never understand those that read her garbage, listen to her garbage, etc. She has the right to spew whatever. But, I will not listen to her, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of those crazies. What I have heard never seems to have hope or positivity or reason.
It was surprising that Lauer did not ask Coulter if she would be joining Joe the Plumber in getting down in the trenches of what is happening in that war-torn country. Surely the country and the world needs to see two people like Joe and Coulter lay their lives on the line in search for truth and justice.
Crack addled journalists perhaps---those two simpletons could barely find their a-- with both hands let alone the truth.
And where is Tom Brokaw, the keeper of the alleged flame of NBC News? Wasn't he the one who insisted that Olbermann not be allowed to anchor the Republican convention? But Coultergeist on "Today" is perfectly fine...
Right.
If you can make it through this entire interview, Coultergeist says she will remember Bush for keeping us safe for 8 years and Lauer says nothing....Hey Butch, er Ann,....FORGET ABOUT 9/11?????? God she is a dweeb....
Coultergiest is a blonde,no?
A blonde and her hustand are trying to sleep and
listening to the next door neighbor's dog
in the backyard barking for hours and hours.
The blonde jumps up out of bed and says, "I've had enough of this".
She goes downstairs. The blonde finally comes back up to bed
and her husband says, "The dog is still barking, what have you been doing?"
The blonde says, "I put the dog in our backyard,
let's see how THEY like it.
I believe the correct punctuation is:
Coultergiest is a blonde? No.
You're welcome... :)
Potatoes, Tomato's. ;)
I guess it falls to me. After watching Coulter for over NINE minutes, I am unable to achieve an erection. I intend to sue NBC for everything I can think of.
This is an old trick. Drudge knows plenty of the old tricks, he copied them from former conservative FBI media shills like Winchell.
He lied and made it seem like NBC had banned Coulter in order to get Coulter's book publicity.
He lied to stir up phony outrage.
He lied so that NBC would be forced to put Coulter on the air.
It's all part of the wingnut agenda to paint NBC as some far left wacko commie pinko conspiracy.
Hard to flush, but it's as absorbant as her sponge like brain.
{ Deleted, Ronnie, It's not good form to blogwhore. But you know that don't you ? SiteMonitor}
Ann Queda is a threat to America.
Why shouldn't Coulter play the conservative victim?
The liberals go for it every time.
When liberals claim they don't get any air time - they get nowhere. No one gives a shit. Especially the "liberal" media.
But liberals absolutely love to, or feel an urgent compulsion to cave to screaming "conservatives".
And liberals love to watch this crap and report on it. They wring their hands and say, "Did you hear her say, "blah blah blah". They love to repeat it.
I don't watch Fox.
I wouldn't know anything about Coulter were it not for C&L and HuffPo.
You can understand why I might not feel a sense of gratitude for this.
Sorry, but are this man/woman's boobs bigger? Is THIS why she had the story about the broken jaw, yada yada, and was off for a while?
Hubby, his friend and I all agreed...her boobs are BIGGER. And you know what? They are STILL SAGGING!
I don't know...
what do ya'll think?
:)
...to watch Coulter on the Today show pimping her stupid book. I would never turn on Faux News to hear her ridiculous comments about anything.
But, if she were to get booked on the Rachel Maddow show for a little debating about actual political issues - I'd pay money to watch that!
Drudge doesn't retract reports because he has no journalistic integrity and doesn't care if he gets caught lying.
On the links that make reference to this harridan.
See You In Tea!
She needs a new strategy. Why not posed nude on Penthouse with a dildo that looks like a role of the American flag (since she's literally fucking and disregarding what America stands for why not do it literally and figuratively). I heard that the porn industry is asking for a bailout. I said this should answer their problem. both Larry and Anne will benefit from it. Oh it will be good if they get Jean Schmidt
too.
...from various divisions and National infighting, Coulter is a completely unattractive woman(?) who has to keep her wretched looking, curveless body at the weight of a 6th grader, appealing to the four inch dick crowd. Mirrors make you angry Mr. Coulter.
So is that more or less than yours?
I have to wrap mine a couple times around my waist before I can tuck it into my britches.
Yep, kept us safe for 8 years. What did something happen? I don't remember. Bush is great, four more years!
I thought the street walking, stinky hooker was dying of Aids.
I watched this segment of the Today Show. I thought Lauer gave her a bit of a walk after trying to pin her down on a couple of things and backing off when she challenged him. Lauer is a pussy. He can't stand up to a smart transsexual like Ann. S/he can argue circles around him.
