I was was wondering what rock Ann Coulter was hiding under.
By John Amato Monday Nov 03, 2008 6:30pm(Michael's head line made me laugh. BREAKING NEWS! THERE WILL BE NO ELECTRICITY IF OBAMA IS ELECTED! Sean Hannity)
Usually Coulter would have been littering our air waves for weeks now, but she has just suddenly appeared. C&Ler Kevin emails:
Democrats celebrate (high gas prices). Coulter thinks that "liberals" want us to live like the "Indians" and live in huts and yurts.
And the right wing nutbloggers are trying to say that the MSM has hidden Obama's January interview from the public, but that's a lie also as Lee Ward of Wizbang Blue emails me and says:
The interview was publicly released last January - and I wrote about it at that time including an embedded video. The notion that it was "hidden" and only recently discovered is a bald-faced lie.
And the idea that Obama would try to destroy the coal industry is ludicrous. By the way, I guess McCain wants to destroy it too. Hannity's producers have been pairing her up these last few days as the right is in "smear mode panic" against Obama with former Democratic pollster Pat Caddell for Jimmy Carter. Pat usually just backs Hannity whenever there's a new smear against Obama. And he's made a living out of doing just that since 2004 at least.
Who is Pat Caddell?
Pat Caddell, a FOX News Channel contributor and onetime pollster for former President Jimmy Carter, has made the rounds on cable television this campaign season, apparently being booked as a counterbalance to Republican pundits. But on almost every occasion, Caddell has attacked the Kerry-Edwards '04 campaign and the Democratic Party, reinforcing Republican pundits' attacks rather than refuting them.
An MMFA LexisNexis search revealed that Caddell has made 20 primetime appearances on cable news networks in 2004, including 16 appearances on FOX News Channel and four on MSNBC; three of Caddell's appearances on FOX occurred in the first half of September. In eight separate appearances on the FOX News Channel in 2004, Caddell -- identified as a "FOX News contributor," "Democratic strategist," "Democratic pollster," or "former Democratic strategist" -- appeared opposite Republican pundits. But on almost every occasion, he issued harsh attacks on Senator John Kerry and other Democrats...read on

What a frightening duo: Hannity and Coulter.
I can't wait 'til tomorrow night!!
I thought Caddell looked the scariest. Doesn't he remind you of one of the Goonies?
Eewwwwww
Just ewwww.
I'm thinking of that movie Damien.
I know, I should be more graceful in my comment. But those two are the ones that leave me shrieking at the screen.
"Palin's Reckless Desparation"

P.S. Coulter WHO? I've erased that name from my memory banks.
Hannity and Friends: THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!
Reality: ***psst.....i said this guy is calling***
Hannity and Friends: THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
Let's not allow the viewer to hear what was said in context lets just pervert the truth and accuse someone else of lieing????? Amazing.
I want to see how badly the election fraud will be so that McCain can be elected.
Sean Hannity is a Scumbag. I personally think that Fox News should be taken off the air and Murdock should be deported.
Coultart is as stupid as they come.
Ann Coulter, The Mormon Church, Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber, Fox News, Matt Drudge... The Republicans may suck at losing, but the Democrats seem to suck at winning.
How about some positive news. Some updates on organizations working to get Barack Obama elected. Some news on Election Integrity issues. Play a little Offense to mix in with all this defense.
this was chosen because it was felt that righteous indignation over the crap these a**clowns are batting back and forth, will get more folks out to vote. OT, I voted at 10:10am, and was # 203 at my (small) polling place.
I have been blogging thru several sites and watching Countdown and Maddow and just in 2 hours I have seen the same Jeremiah Wright
commerical 9 times. It is of course a 527 but still it is a powerful spot.

McCain. The Liar.
No doubt. They are absolutely flooding the airwaves with this shit and I don't even live in a swing state. The Democrats don't even seem to be responding to this. I hope Americans reject this type of desperate negative last minute sludgery. The media let's this asshole get away with everything. He is a fucking gambling wife cheating school failing drinking lousy pilot who claims to be the "christian" candidate. What a farce. What a farce our media is to allow this type of spin from ever occurring and not calling out the lies and getting to the truth. But I guess that part has been slowly weeded out of the corporate owned media. I wonder if they'll ever cover the fact that we outsourced our election system to a private corporation who won't let us see the source code for their software. Unbelieveable what we've had to put up with these last 8 years and beyond. Hope more people can see through the shit. And call it out.
Ok so make that 10 times in 2 hours. I wonder how many more times we will see this crap before tomorrow. It's a well done spot and in this red state it will get traction.
Wow, I'm really glad the McSame campaign took the high ground on the Reverend Wright issue. Here in New Mexico, the same ad, Obama can't be trusted because of his parson's inflammatory rhetoric, has run every commercial break over the past 3 hours. Some ad buy!
I have seen this ad now at least 15 times. It is on during almost every commercial break on MSNBC. I am in Houston, too...VERY red country.
Texas is going about 40/50 for McLame, it's not as red as many think.
TX has been Blue in the past, more than most remember. Incumbent office holders seem to have a sway though. I'm surprised that the Latino vote hasn't pushed the state this year back to blue. Would be a nice after 8 years of Bush if the state could show more intelligence. I'm guessing it's the gay communities in Houston, Austin and DFW that have some influence in this election results. At least it won't be a sweep.
I am going to sleep. It's on every commercial break.
Just who the fuck IS the National Republican Trust PAC?
Just embrace the FEAR and UNCERTAINTY. Pay no attention to who gains if their mssg is taken as fact.
Given the number of times this ad seems to be running around the country, it appears to be a buy on the order of Obama's half hour thing. Consider then, how America and Americans are portrayed by each side. Just the thought of rethuglicans leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
in your mouth! You don't know where they've been! J/K, of course.
to assault the democrat when they think he is vulnerable. it should infuriate the Obama camp and once again shine a light on the fact that even the most liberal of pundits on tv are tools, voluntarily or by reaction, for showing this add and giving it free air time along with the paid airings.
here's your october surprise, courtesy of SCLM. tomorrow is DIEBOLD's turn.
I live in Maryland...the bluest of blue places in America except for maybe D.C. and I've had to endure the Wright commercial at least 25 times since I got home from work. I suppose they have to dump the money somehwere before their supporters demand a refund.
This may be off topic but as I reflect upon the last 8 years...the terrorists managed in a cowardly act, to knock down a couple of buildings and kill several thousand innocent Americans. But nothing, absolutely nothing, has threatened our democracy, our way of life, and our freedoms more than the Republicans and the Bush adminsitration. They have all proven themselves to be the true enemies of freedom and democracy.
I literally cried when Bush won in 2004...I was the only democrat at a company full of republicans, and I told them (through tears) that I was quite fearful of what would happen to this country & our freedoms, and that we'd slowly see our freedoms that we hold dear slipping away. Sadly, I was right and it's coming more and more apparent how we're being listened to, watched, etc. under the umbrella of domestic protection.
and bears repeating.
poorly spent. I don't see the audience of those 2 shows (which are part of my evening ritual, haha) has ANY undecided voters in it. So, good to see the ad buys were "wasted" on this particular occasion. It wasn't waste on the scale of clothing, but wasted in any event, I would think. If I were a contributor to the mccain campaign, I would be steaming about the way my donation had been frittered away.
Watching the election returns on Fux would be a hoot! Watching Clannity, Coulter, etc. swinging from nooses in the rafters has got to be worth the price of a year's service. Someone please tape and post at YouTube.
I just want to say I freakin hate this woman to no end.
I cannot see her picture. I'm the luckiest guy in I world.
I began intently paying attention to American politics in the lead up to the war in Iraq. In the 5+ years since I’ve increasingly become, if not exponentially, a neurotic mess. Many of you I suspect are in the same boat. My anxiety and cynicism levels are through the roof; and I've been hyper-obsessed with the media coverage even to the determent of other activities and responsibilities.
The approach to this year's election (all 2 years of it) has only exacerbated the matter, especially the last 4-5 months. I honestly think that this neurosis could possibly be a disorder worthy of DSM-IV recognition.
The root cause of this disorder is the extreme-partisanship propagated by politicians and the media. All of us have fallen prey to this to some degree. It’s Us vs. Them, Red vs. Blue, or Republicans vs. Democrats; as if everything in this world was just black or white. These labels mean nothing and their sole purpose is to divide us. Can anyone define what these terms stand for? I personally don’t think that any of us can be put into any one category.
The unfortunate result of this is that we’re beginning to propagate the partisanship ourselves, independent of the politicians and the media. Similarly we engage in…
* Relative Justification: Minimizing or defending the wrong doings perpetrated by one individual by contrasting them to the wrong doings of another.
* Contextual Deception: Intentionally and falsely represent another’s views/statements without providing original/appropriate context.
* Indifferent Deception: Standing by idle knowingly allowing lies to be disseminated as truths.
* Omission: Conveniently failing to acknowledge entire news stories or pertinent details as to minimize the impact and/or significance of a story.
* Blind Defenders/Cheerleaders: Individuals whose stubbornness and/or party loyalty surpasses their interests in improving their town/city/state/country.
Anyway I guess the point that I’m getting at is that we’ve got to stop this. We’re bitter and exhausted; if we keep this up we’re going to drive ourselves completely mad. I don’t think we have another election like this one in us; at least I know I don't.
I know there are issues we disagree on but there has to be a more civil approach. When everyone is angry, yelling, and pointing fingers; nothing is being discussed. Maybe we should agree to discuss the issues. Can we agree to do that? Can we agree that each politician needs to be held accountable for his/her own words and actions; regardless of party affiliation? Can we agree to uproot lies, end the deception, and perpetuate whole truths? Can we agree to take off the red and blue jerseys and stop all the cheerleading? I’ll agree to that. Will you? I sure hope so!
Happy Vote Day!

First I'm spending a week in a tree house.
In Hawaii.
Some of us think that's better than a 5th avenue apartment.
Let's see....
Wake up to honking traffic or pounding surf?
If you wake up to honking traffic you might be able to jump up on the tred mill and make enough money to impress someone.
If you wake up to the surf you'll probably enjoy your life.
Decisions decisions...
Aloha
but...WTF is a yurt?
Mongolian dwelling.
Yurt
thanks, guys!
That thing is cute! It might make me want to go camping. :D
Though it might not meet current Dade Co hurricane-resistance standards...
FEMA has ordered several thousand.
!!
Call me. We have Yurt rentals in Calif.
America, What a country!
Can I buy one with a Countrywide ARM?
are Reptiles.
I am not a Democrat so I really have very little use for them either.
Except for the very few who do not impersonate Republicans.
For me the US Government is essentially a lost cause and should be replaced with responsible adults who are not beholden to Corporations.
When will it happen? Not tomorrow.
as you probably know, the first requirement to stop a behavior is to acknowledge the behavior. It seems to me most of the partisan mindless ranting is done by people who will not acknowledge that it is a problem.
to anyone who has the mental fortitude and resolve to sit through all 9+ minutes of that clip of utter baloney.
I guess we should take it as a good sign that the Republicans are so desperate that they've dusted off Ol'Ann and pulled her out of her coffin so she can do the heavy smearing and lying in the final few hours.
Now that was intelligent and funny!
I am constantly amazed by the ability of the people at the Betty Ford Clinic to restore a patina of functionality to human wrecks like Coulter. And it only took a few months!
you know it's bullshit if these two morons are promoting it. ROTFLMAO fox and the dummies!
Oh, goodness, how surprised I am that Fox News & the republicans are taking an Obama quote out of context!
But seriously, this is sad. Are these people really that dumb that they only look at pixels rather than a full picture, or are they that corrupt that they'll do anything in order to push forward their candidate? Either way, it's not encouraging...
I couldn't even watch the clip, it was THAT nauseating to again hear Fox & co going off on imaginary, nonexistent issues. I'm glad Ann Coulter has been out of the public eye for a while, and if I can go a bit longer without hearing the unfounded, ignorant vitriol that she peddles, then I am a happy woman.
What is going to happen ANYWAY is that energy prices are going to go up. Period. Right now they're down - the speculators got spanked and the recession is creating demand destruction, so prices are way down. This will not last.
A recent IEA report was leaked and it is stating that mature fields (i.e., all the really big ones) are facing a depletion rate of 9.1% a year going forward.
http://tinyurl.com/5nfsry
The IEA says this is misleading, but in fact, it is not.
Oil production peaked in 2005. There was a recent spike to the same level a few months ago, but it has since gone down again.
So, the facts are simple: fossil fuels are a limited resource. They are at (oil) or near (gas and coal) peak production. From there the production will fall off, and that will be the end of industrial civilisation as we have come to know it.
Prices WILL go up. It's just a fact. So: MAKE PLANS OR HAVE THEM MADE FOR YOU.
Hence the yurt...in a place where food doesn't come on a trailer truck.
The melt down hasn't started. I'm not going on vacation. I'm going into survival mode. I juswt hope I get on the plane while the music is still playing.
Oh man I'm so scared right now. I'll be back after a while, first I've got to go stick my head up my ass till it's safe.
Obama did say that under his plan, energy costs would skyrocket.
WTF is he talking about?
Coulter and Caddell are not the issue.
WTF is Obama talking about?
I have to ask - who the frak cares what those poop-for-brains on Faux News (Coulter, Hannity, etc) have to say, or what the morons who watch them think?!?
Just hope they vote in smaller numbers.
I agree, Coulter ceased to be a factor months ago after the anti-semtitic crap she spewed on CNBC.
If you saw Mann's driver license he is a male. Check out the adams apple. Any one that would try to pull that over on the American people cannot be trusted. Why would he do that? Pretend to be a woman?
Desperation!
DailyKos has a good overview of this coal thing...including some info on McCain and it:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/11/3/2...
and two SF Chron links from today:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/comment...
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/...
So because Fox says "it's been supressed", that makes it so I guess. Geez, these people never cease to amaze me. And they keep attacking Obama for saying the SAME THING that their own candidate says. The good old "look over there!" tactic, very mature & very honest!
And I think people need to stop & think for about this for a second: do they want to keep the coal industry a thriving business & leave it as is & not work on finding cleaner sources of energy, OR do they want to leave their kids & grandkids a planet where they can breathe?? Simple choice. If we have to pay more for cleaner sources of energy in the short term, so be it, that might actually make people think about conserving more. That's a small price to pay for leaving a legacy that I won't be ashamed of...
What do you think is going to happen to FOX NOISE when Obama gets elected?
No more talking points straight from the white house. No more exclusive access to government bases or detention areas. No more free rides from the FCC. They'll be lucky if they see a single press pass from any White House event.
Of course they're going into full panic mode. Obama winning tomorrow means they go out of business and that sociopathic opportunist, Rupert Murdoch has already made it clear that he wont hold up a losing enterprise.
fox started during the clinton years
it got its talking points then from the rnc
that will occur again if obama wins
you will see a drastic change in how they cover the news
they will still attack libs, but there will be no more postive spin on the president
fox still remains the mouthpiece for the republican party
But without the regular input from direct government access, their bite will go down to that of the standard supermarket tabloid.
Does anyone think that Hannity and Coulter can smell the shit they wallow in or has it become a kind of aphrodisiac that can arouse their sense of hate? Caddell looks like he actually eats the stuff, so I'm not too curious about him. Nevertheless, I would like a simple, clear explanation of Obama's actual intent in the quote. (One syllable words that Hannity would understabd.)
I'm surprised that Hannity didn't accuse Obama of bribing someone in Hawaii to kill his grandmother today so he could milk some of the pity vote from McCain voters whose only reason for voting for him goes back to his POW status.
... but not with a feather. Maybe a lead filled snowshoe
Great googly-moogly...!
I couldn't watch more than a minute after she was uncovered. Ugh...what a disgusting sleeze ball of a human.
Got to hell...both of you Nazi henchmen. I thought she had already fled to Argentina, but sorry to say she must still be around in the cellars of the propaganda network.
Why do I always think of a hairball that the cat threw up when I see or hear of her? Disgusting human.
Nine minutes of shammity. I want to watch his show on Wednesday morning. THAT, I WOULD WATCH!!!
debunked:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/03/mcca...
I heard the supposedly independent Lou Dobbs flogging the "Obama wants to destroy the coal miners and the mainstream media hid it" meme today.
Coulter's sucking up to Hannity is cringe-worthy. My favorite quote by her in this segment: "McCain has learned a lot from Palin." Poor McCain must be getting dumber by the second.
Ok first of all if you want anyone to take you seriously close your mouth when you're not actually speaking. I keep expecting drool to start oozing out of that creepy little ghoul with the porn stache.
Google Pat Cadell,he was booted out of the democratic party in 1988 and has been supporting Republicans ever since http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Caddell
Fair and balanced or out of work and kick to the curb, by by FOX! You scum bags!
Live in huts and yurts? More like,that dame is so nuts it hurts.
This is how the media angle goes. When The Repubs are in power. A news item where the Dems criticise the Repubs is always followed by BUT the Repubs say the Dems are wrong.
When the Dems are in power. The news item goes, The Dems have brought in a new policy. BUT the Repubs say the Dems are wrong. That is how all media is framed.Watch the news and wait for the BIG BUT in the middle. it's always there to neutralise the Dems or other left leaning organisations. Every damn time.
I'm expecting C&L will experience an avalanche of slime the media wingnuts will deliver up to an Obama victory. You aint seen nothing yet. They will claim that the Obama is coming to steal your children and slaughter your old folks.
I've been allowed to vent on several liberal sites the last couple of days so a lot of the intense anger against these idiot-criminals have dissipated. Now is the time for all of us willing to come together to do so. There seems to be, I hope, a new wave of self awareness sweeping through the country. Maybe it's the evolutionary change that a lot of us had given up on ever happening. I know I feel a whole lot cleaner than I have in long time.
Obama had an ad with a fake coal miner? How about that schlep of a fake plumber mcbush's dragging all over the place? When mAnn crawls back in her coffing wednesday at sunrise will some place a much bigger rock on top of it? Someone here a while back called hannity a candy assesd bedwetter, my hats off to you.
Caddell did the same stuff in 2000. He constantly attacked Al Gore especially during the recount. Despite his claims of being a Democrat he is nothing more than a Republican shill.
Has Ann Coulter been in a rehab clinic?
Ooh, special edition! He gets a special extra show for his mud slinging.
"We have a HUGE breaking story about an interview that took over the past year..." Thanks Sean. Keep on digging.
It's just like Obama said, next thing you know they will say he's a communist because he shared his toys in kindergarten. If rethugs can only win by slinging mud and cheating... well that's very sad and scary, indeed. I did not listen to the entire clip I was afraid Coultergeist would rear her head in my air space.
Ok, after a few minutes, alan colmes comes on and brings some sanity to the discussion. but why does the lead always seem to have hannity, talking solo, taking the opening shots, followed immediately by a right wing sycophant like coulter? colmes comes on well after the initial damage is done. i don't understand why colmes apparently allows himself to take an obvious second fiddle role to hannity.
the big problem with obama has been his forthright honesty. the righties can't understand straight talk if it bit them on the ass.
"Usually Coulter would have been littering our air waves for weeks now, but she has just suddenly appeared."
Well you know, when your body rejects the hormone therapy treatments it tends to keep you in the hospital for a while. That'll keep anyone out of the spotlight.
coulter has figured out where she is to "legally" vote this year. I am only concerned because I don't think she has a bf in the FBI currently. I hope that one of the things that gets straightened out quickly is the FCC. I am really disappointed with how my airwaves have been used for misinformation and irresponsible claims and even, gasp, lying.
And remember, no vote, no b*tching rights~!
Peace,
John
She's on their crummy NYC morning show.
Some people have NO TASTE.
like she's the coul-miners daughter. all there hot air could be used to generate a couple of power plants.
That Ann Coulter, resuscitated by Fox propaganda entertainment; otherwise known as WET television (White Entertainment Network)is back for the post election onslaught that is brewing and dying to begin. President Elect Obama has already promised to resurrect not someone but something himself; the Fairness Doctrine.
Expect the hellish sounds of screeching and grappling demons as they are summoned to return to their fiery abyss of distortions, misrepresentations, lies and propaganda and the return of fair and balanced reporting.
Witness also the review of the monopoly that Murdoch will soon contend with. This new administration will not sit idly by and at the behest of his supporters Murdoch's assumed influence and empire will be splintered.
Witness also the upcoming cleansing of the many GOP illegalities committed from the lowest Ann Coulter type voter fraud incidents to the highest level of the Bush Administration (too numerous to count).
Witness also the end of the public voting machine system.
Witness the much anticipated and widely supported loss of tax exemptions for the complicit christian propaganda networks, shcools and churches; watch federal funds end and the return to a separation of church and state; and the coming legislation to ensure it does not return to its muddled past.
This day of reckoning has been the fear of the GOP, the fear of the right wing conservative christian fundamentalist that have been in the GOP pocket all along and the fear of dwindling last bastion of racists left in this country.
There has been much propaganda about this country being in the right of center; well this election repudiates that claim. The American citizenry has spoken and in large numbers. This is a mandate to silence the Man Witch types like Ann Coulter.
