Oh, That Wacky Ann

[filkertom]

Ann Coulter felt it necessary to state in her blog that she is anti-murder and anti-false accusation.

I don't expect her to understand that a fragment of the Left's utter loathing and disgust with her is based on the fact that who in their right fucking mind needs to come out and say this?!?

"Y'know, Bob, I've always been against gratuitous killing. And making up shit so other people get in trouble for things they haven't done... yeah, that's just not cool, y'know?"

Bluntly, she lies. She lies incessantly, and speaks loudly and with the faux authority that the TV camera grants women who might theoretically be called "attractive". She has lied repeatedly and wildly -- words which sum up how she speaks about pretty much everything, really -- and called for the deaths of everybody from the population of North Korea to Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens (paraphrasing, "Someone should put rat poison in his creme brulee. -- That's a joke, by the way." Some fuckin' joke).

Once again, for the record: I've got a hefty list of people I think should be in prison for what they've done to this country over the past several years. The enablers and cheerleaders and canaries in the mine of How Far Can We Push It, such as Coulter, Malkin, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Michael Weiner (Savage), not to mention most of the staff of Fox and CNN, are just as complicit as BushCo. I wish them no violence. I want them to live long, healthy lives, rotting slowly in their cells at the Hague or wherever.

So, I'll ask: Does anyone on my friend's list actually like Coulter? Listen to her? Believe her?

I've pledged $25 to Ted Rall's effort to sue the poisonous bitch for the false accusations she made about him.

So that's about how I feel about her.

Well, I guess she doesn't consider the gratuitous killing of those who disagree with her as "murder", then.

People like her sometimes make me wish that I believed in a judgemental afterlife. Because I know she'll never suffer for her wrongs in this life, but I know that in any reasonable conception of Hell, she'd undoubtedly end up there.

But that punishment isn't mine to pass. Ideally, I'd just wish for her to truly realize the farcical jackass she's become, and maybe feel the same disgust for herself that most rational people feel for her.

It bothers me that Al Franken is constantly compared to her, as in "the Left's answer to Ann Coulter". No, Franken is frequently civil and intelligent, and refutes things with FACTS, not name-calling and death wishes.

A few years back, at a gathering of friends, some wag gave the host (a staunch liberal) a doll of Ann Coulter, as a gag gift.

By the end of the day I and two others had taken a crochet hook, fashioned a noose out of yarn, and hanged the doll in a convenient birdcage the host owned for some bizarre reason.

Well, I *listen* to her, but that's only when she's on Bill Maher's show. ;)

I doubt you'll find anyone speaking up for her here. At our (pardon the arrogance) slightly higher level of discourse, the bigger problem is with people who try to draw equivalencies between her and, say, Michael Moore, as if they're equally nutjobbish, which just ain't so.

[markbernstein.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you. An even better example than my cite of Michael Moore comparisons.

[thingunderthest.livejournal.com]

I fear that woman, and I use the term in a purely anatomical (I assume) sense, will put me off blondes.

[suburbfabulous.livejournal.com]

She needs a boobjob, the right maintenance meds, and a Dremel-icious tracheotomy.
Then she'd be BLAZING.

[omimouse.livejournal.com]

Oh. Her.

I hear about her. I know some of the things that she has said. For a very short while, I believed that she was made-up, (maybe an Onion persona?) because I could not belive that anyone could be that smegging hateful, vicious, or downright bloody stupid.

The day I realized that, no, she really was a real person, my blood pressure spiked badly enough to give me a migraine.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

I'd find it a lot easier to consider her a vast satire if it weren't for the fact that so many people (how? for the love of god, how??) take her seriously.

[chaotic-nipple.livejournal.com]

Personally, I hope she dies a horrible, lingering, and humiliating death, from perfectly natural causes. Better still if the cause were unmistakable divine intervention. A plague of boils spelling the words "You Suck!" followed by very slow spontaneous combustion, would do the trick.

Well, from what I've seen Michael Moore and Ann Coulter are two sides of the same coin. I liked Fahrenheit 9/11, but had a few problems with bowling for Columbine. Now, to answer your question of: Does anyone on my friend's list actually like Coulter the answer is no. But frankly, I'd fuck Ann Coulter before Michael Moore.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

When's the last time Michael Moore advocated the murder of people he disagreed with?

[alicetheowl.livejournal.com]

Michael Moore DOES tend to get a little rabid and weird, though I like what he has to say.

I'm on a message board where the conservatives outnumber the liberals, though, and every time we liberals talk about how much we hate Ann Coulter, they counter with, "But you have Al Franken!"

Makes me want to tear my hair out.

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

Funny. I had far more problems with Farenheit 9/11 than I did with Bowling for Columbine, particularly on a factual level.

[renquestor.livejournal.com]

What I'm meaning by two sides of the same coin is they are both rabid supporters, I mean foaming at the mouth rabid supporters of their respective parties. I don't trust people like that.

[renquestor.livejournal.com]

Such as?

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

My first run-in with her was when I flipped on some show late at night on HBO. Can't even remember the name. Four panel members, pseudo-debate, etc. I remember looking at her and thinking, "Well, she seems reasonably int--wait a second, WHAT did she just say?"

I reserve my least favorite four-letter word in the world for two people: my brother's wife, and Ann Coulter. I consider it a happy coincidence that my brother's wife's first name, Ann Coulter's last name, and said word all begin with a "c."

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

Let me rephrase that: I felt that Farenheit 9/11 had many more instance of what seemed to me to be opinion and giant leaps between conclusions than Bowling for Columbine. While both have an obvious slant--both are meant to convey a certain POV--I didn't feel as many conclusions were drawn for me in BfC as were in F 9/11.

I've also seen them each one time, though I own both, and BfC I saw right after it came out on DVD. So it's been awhile. If I can manage to stomach it, I might watch them both again, back to back, and see if my perception has changed.

[renquestor.livejournal.com]

Ok. It's been a long ass time since Bowling For Columbine for me. I saw 9/11 rather recently. I did see your point in that Moore drew conclusions for the viewer. Course, I kinda ignored that and focused on any pertinant facts given, then I went and did my own research to see if it back them up. Some did.

[morpheus0013.livejournal.com]

I did much the same thing. It just seemed so much more overt to me in F 9/11 that I was having someone else's opinion shoved down my throat rather than presented to me.

I admit, too, that I watched F 9/11 with a much more critical eye than I did BfC. For starters, I had my disgust with the Bush Administration firmly in place by then, and there was just so much publicity, positive and negative, floating around it that I went into it with the intent of being as objective as I possibly could, to see if I could understand what both sides had to say about it. I didn't want to be one of the easily swayed masses on either side of the issue; the idea of being a person like that bothers me a great deal. So there's a chance I was even more critical of it than I needed to be.

Damn. I really should watch them both again and see if my perceptions changed.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

So they're both highly partisan. Okay. That still doesn't make them anything close to equivalent.

I do think Moore's a bit of a wingnut, yes. And no, I wouldn't trust him to make an objective assessment of a political situation. But I don't consider him anywhere near the reprehensible, vitriolic, sad excuse for a human that Coulter is.

[renquestor.livejournal.com]

Aye, I see what you mean there. I need to go borrow them from a friend of mine.

There's a lot of Michael Moore horror stories. People who are pissed because he cut some of what they said out of context, soldiers who are portrayed as disagreeing with the cause when they don't, and the rabbit lady from Roger & Me was ripped off big time (they had her sign a contract even though she couldn't read and misled her about the terms of the interview). Plus, as a filmmaker, he's ripped off a lot of his techniques and clips from other documentaries. Then there are all of the people he bothered with people dressed in crazy outfits. I would feel better about that if he didn't behave exactly like the people he attacks when people do the same thing to him. People have used the same tactics he uses against him, and he behaves exactly like the executives do: His underlings shoo them away and say they need an appointment, or he has them thrown out.

Moore may not have advocated murder, but he is a pretty lame excuse for a person in my book.
