I’m gonna go with… "always."
Ann Coulter in her new book Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America (courtesy of Media Matters):
The most amazing thing liberals have done is create the myth of a compliant right-wing media with Republicans badgering baffled reporters into attacking Democrats. It’s so mad, it’s brilliant. It’s one kind of a lie to say the Holocaust was when the Swedes killed the Jews. But it’s another kind of lie entirely to say the Holocaust was when the Jews killed the Nazis. Liberals have actually neutralized the incredible press orchestration of left-wing propaganda by acting as if they are the victims of the all-powerful Republican National Committee. [Page 110]
Ann Coulter on The Sean Hannity Show, 7/26/05 (original audio file is gone, additional verbiage from DU):
It’s a better Senate than it was then and we have the media now.
If pressed, I suppose Coulter could claim that the media went from totally right-wing propaganda to totally left-wing propaganda in a mere three years. Or that she said "we have the media now" on Hannity’s show simply to trick us gullible liberals, but that’s kind of a tough sell considering the context (she was arguing that Dubya should nominate a hard-right judge for the Supreme Court).
You screwed up, Ann. You can’t gloat about how your team controls the media, and then rant and rave about how conservative media bias is all a liberal hoax.

No humungous offense intended here but is it final, unequivocal proof that she talks out of both sides of her mouth, since one side was supposed to be wired shut just a short while ago?
How do you know if Coulter is Lying? She’s breathing.
Who is Ann Coulter?
WHAT? ….. she isn’t wearing THE black cocktail dress? She has other clothes?
Ann is going to point to Tweety defecting from his worship of Commander Codpiece. Ann is going to point to the way press changed their minds about Bush after the economy tanked (and the MSM lost their investments).
We need to remind Ann that Judy Miller still has a Pulitzer Prize for reporting about Weapons of Mass Destruction that don’t exist.
If the Left did control the media trust me Judy would lose her prize first thing.
Coulter the Classless One:
This little tidbit I gleaned from C & L.
Anne is effective because her outrageous memes shift the right further to the right, shift the center to the right, and provide cover for people like Hannity and Podhoretz. But the claims are so outrageous there really is no need to argue them. Especially, if the argument brings more attention to Anne Coulter. She pretty much missed the last cycle, let’s help her miss the next one.
It is easy for her to get away with this stuff because our media have an attention span of about 30 minutes and yesterday never happened. For the average wingnut, the attention span is about 30 seconds and they can’t remember what was for breakfast by lunch.
Coming from someone who has never married and is unlikely to ever do so, this is a bit rich. Especially since she will never have any kids. This latter is a good thing, since she would likely just eat them.
At least the reichwingnut groups will have a “gift” for their donors during fundraisers.
“For every dollar you donate we’ll give you 10 copies of Ann Coulter’s new book, Guilty: Giving Hummers to Rush on the Air.”
Oh, that’s just creepy. Does anyone know if Ann’s ever been married? It’s probably a good thing if she’s never had kids.
Isn’t it easier to just assume Coulter is lying about at least one thing in any given sentence she utters?
Ah, ha! Didn’t read your comment until after I posted. Certain people should not have children, whether they are married or not.
Ann the blogs pointed out that fact it was a ground up talking point. If anything the Democratic pinheads they let on TV are still way to nice, they don’t hit back when people like you lie.
The GOP controls the MSM and the people are ignoring the MSM the GOP message is so lame that the MSM stocks were tanking even before the bank bailout.
When Mitt Romney is rummored to threaten his banks with lawsuits to keep financing his bid to buy Clearchannel where Rush Limbaugh works you have to wonder?
Why would Mitt insist on paying top dollar for a winger media company when the banks that are providing financing think he is paying to much?
Also are those banks now getting government bailout money because of that?
And lastly why did Clear Channel’s stock go down during the takeover if it was such a good company?
Wingnut welfare to keep Rush on the air?
Yes about 48% of the vote is ours we just need to broadcast this in the redstates!
Better to have your kids to grow up to be strippers than serial killers…
Yes.
I’m still trying to figure out why media outlets owned by giant corporate conglomerates with right-wing management would have a liberal bias or, indeed, anything *other* than a conservative one.
This latter is a good thing, since she would likely just eat them.
Fixed it:)
This latter is a good thing, since she would likely just
eatsnort them.I always assume that she is lying about everything, including “a” and “the”.
Did she just crawl out of a cave? We haven’t heard from that woman in quite a while. Though I am not surprised she is just making it up because it is the same thing she has been doing for years. Pulling stuff out of her ass is what she does best. Not giving any sources for anything is what she does best. If it were not for wingnut welfare she would be laughed out of every publishing company in the country.
Yeah good point Ann is a no logic zone. She is a this is your brains on drugs commercial.
Well, yeah, so?
Maybe she just got out of rehab?
No, no, no.
Strippers have a good grip on reality.
Ann Coulter, not so much.
Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Ann Coulter is from Uranus.
Easiest of all to just ignore her existence. There are so many real things to be worried about, skank right wing traitor hummers just don’t merit the attention. Moving on now…
And why would anyone care?
Seriously, this person needs no more attention.
Funny… I just flushed her a few minutes ago…
So, how ’bout that Franken?
Didn’t realize those were mutually exclusive professions. Of course one group accepts dollar bills and the other can cost an arm and a leg.
And strippers have a respectable profession by comparison.
She certainly speaks from her anus.
I thought she was acting flaky even for her in the Dem Primaries and then she disappeared she didn’t even show up for the general election?
Ann normally loves using elections to get attention for herself, like a stripper taking off her clothes.
Argghh! I’m blind! must not think such thoughts
She is a devotee of do-it-yourself proctology. Always has her head up there.
I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with the photo. Did she nick herself shaving?
Right now the Franken election is about the only good thing I’m feeling from this cycle.
Between tax cuts coming up for the corporations to the pick of an anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-stem cell research new chair of the DNC, please remind me again why people worked so hard to get the democrats elected? Am I missing something?
Think it might have had something to do with that little voting faux pas down in Palm Beach?
They offered us a carrot, now we get the stick.
Because they’re slightly better than the Republicans! Are you not feeling the Awesome?
not feeling it at all.
I can’t remember the details but yeah I think that you are right. I remember thinking the girl’s on serious drugs and lost it this time.
And I’m not real fond of where it is being stuck.
maybe if we ignore ann she’ll just go awayyyyyyyyy… but nooo we keep giving her coverage and boosting her by all the attention….. WHAT!?
Not nude but a reasonable facsimile. Actually, she looks better than I expected.
BING fuckin’ GO!
ROFLMFAO
Did she name her book after her plea to voter fraud charges?
I’m waiting for the next e-mail to come my way from the DNC so that I can ask to be unsubscribed from the list. They can have their stick back—or their carrot, a big one—and keep it to themselves (censoring this before someone else does).
Exactly as I imagined her.
ROTFLMAO
We have to take her down ignore them and the sheeple will think that we are doing nothing because they are right.
We have to take them down hard, or Snarky:)
Looks pretty tame to me. You want I should fix it for ya? *g*
Teddy! Did you give up your coveted Sunday night slot?
LOL
The new Senator from Minnesota. All star performance—looking forward to more.
If he sells out like the rest of them I’ll just shoot myself.
Media Matters action: Ask NBC why Coulter is on Today this week!
I’m locking up all the guns right now.
I tamed it myself. Couldn’t write what I was thinking. Not very “Reverant.”
Ya mean “What” is Ann Coulter? /right???
the notion that ANYONE would even try to make the claim that a consolidated and corporate owned media is some how liberal, and then the fact that there are sheep who belive the claim, leaves me with very little hope there is inteligent life in our country
Eli subbed for me, kindly, due to unexpected but welcome dinner guests.
I did write something earlier today about Tim Kaine and Terry McAuliffe, though.
Time to power down. Have a splendid evening, all.
there is more than enough to make fun of with regard to a/c without bringing her sexuality into the mix.
I can’t help myself. The graphic is just too good. Satann Coulter.
They believe what they have been told repeatedly for 30 years. We just need to do as good, and loud, a job of decrying the vast rightwing media conspiracy.
But was that a question of gender, or of species?
Saw that. Had me worried for a minute. Always helps me ease into another work week (which tomorrow sadly is).
I’m feeling the same way Deb,
I’m not looking forward in joy to the Inauguration,
more like trepidation.
And who knows where this war on Gaza will go. Will it lead to a confrontation between Israel and Iran and this US up against the world even — is that too bleak? It’s all starting to keep me up at night,like tonight. My fear’s Here.
A vague unease >> chronic worries >> anxious midnight wakings.
she’s been coming back for ever… and keeps getting press attention…. the press loves her… i dont read her or watch any program that promotes her….we obviously haven’t taken her down yet……….
Heh. I didn’t read Nahant’s comment the way you did.
Night, rf.
i apologize if i read nahant’s comment incorrectly.
however, i stand by the reminder
I’m watching the Today show and noting the sponsors of the segment she appears on. They will hear from me, you can be sure.
gnight ratfood
we can discuss a/c without bringing up her sexuality.
Namaste, rf
Fucking awesome!
I trust you will keep us apprised, so then they can hear from the rest of us, too
Not intended to??? her sex but what “She” is inside her mind nothing to do with what sex…. I try not to judge anyone differently because of what sex they are.. no matter what.
Whoop, past my bedtime.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
Night, SD.
Answer: there are two Ann Coulters. This one’s wearing blue.
i apologize if i misread it nahant. a/c threads do tend to bring out the gender insults.
The big question with Coulter is not gender (I do not care or even want to know), but species.
indeed – because she certainly can not be human.
Actually I agree with this neo-conservative whore. Most of our tee vee and newspapers are controlled by corporate interests that lie more skillfully than Coulter. The far more dangerous propagandists are Bob Schieffer, Kookie Roberts, David Broder, Anderson Cooper, Mark Halperin, and of course Judy, Judy, Judy Miller.
You can add your own favorites to this list. They continue to perpetuate myths of 9-11, WMD’s, Isr**l’s criminal aggression, Paulson and Bernanke’s criminal thievery, the Mumbai False Flag terrorism, corporate pollution. You can add your favorite corporate myths to this list also.
please let us know, Teddy. put it on oxdown?
see you on the flip flop SD, love your new digg icon btw.
I think I’ll go out for a worry walk and work of some of this unease.
Night all
I do not think she is even terrestrial.
The bigger question is why we even give her pixels. She needs to be ignored or she will keep coming back for more.
Night, Elliot.
Yeah, I think she was actually telling the truth in 2005, I just have trouble bringing myself to say it. But to turn around and then claim that right-wing media bias is this diabolically brilliant liberal myth, that’s just ridiculous.
worrying isn’t going to help anything. We are just screwed, yet again. This time it’s the dems who are telling us to lie back and enjoy it.
Time to find something else to do with my time and money—what’s left of it.
I really am torn about that. At present (especially since she is still getting MSM attention), I come down on the “we cannot just ignore her” school. We have a moral obligation to mock and ridicule her such that no one will ever take her seriously. Until that is accomplished, there is too much danger that they will.
Editor & Publisher noted, when Coulter wrote about Sarah Palin as Conservative of the Year, Coulter was really thinking:
I doctored up the E&P piece a bit…heh.
As an actual socialist, that is pretty much a way of life for me.
does anyone–even the nuttiest wingnut—actually like ac?
that would be kind of like liking a scorpion
or a disease
Ann Coulter should be ignored and shunned.
Oh, she was their pinup girl for a long time. Pretty much until Sarah (im)Palin came along. She is getting a bit long in the tooth though.
One could ask the same question of, say, Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage or Sean Hannity or Michelle Malkin. And the answer is, oh yes.
Some people really appreciate being told that their selfishness and bigotry is perfectly rational; patriotic even.
I think her teeth have always been pretty long, actually…
She feeds the reichwing hate machine and they love her. She empowers them to say the nastiest, most disgusting things in their minds.
She has sexuality??? Gag.
And sharp.
this is WHAT i’m saying……………………..
I will not devote another thought to this wretched, putrid subject. See you all–or some of you–at Late Late Nite.
As long as the media are paying attention and giving her a soapbox, we cannot just ignore her lest someone actually believe that she is either credible or even acceptable. Far better to mock and ridicule her. Make her look so ridiculous that no one will take her serious.
Question:
Today there was a rally of Jews supporting Israel, they sang the Israeli national anthem……. there were several hundred attendees….
So if a group of Muslims attended a rally and sang the national anthem of another country…… Do you think there would be riots in the streets over it or TeeVee coverage in sympathy?
Please. She is so past tense.
Say, how many times did Ann vote this November?
Think I will head out. Have to climb back into the saddle in the morning after 3 weeks off, so I need my beauty sleep. Take care all.
Perhaps. But if the whole world sang…
And in a legit precinct?
..in perfect harmony?
It was a local event and just shocked at the biased statements and how it was pretty much one sided….. when they showed anyone that might represent the “other side” it was protesters who looked like it could turn into a riot….
Yes! The old cola cola songs were pretty damn good.
Ya that was a pretty neat commercial and song too
Dang, I jumped in here katymine. Are you already well enough to be out protesting? ***hope so***
brb
Well, now that we’re all warm and happy, I think I’ll hit it. *g*
Nighty night.
Actually been mucking out the house and Elmore has been helping me…. cleaned out a lot of stuff in the garage and working room by room on dejunking the house……
night demi.
I need to do that too, katymine. I realized how much extra stuff I have doing Christmas. Minimal as it was.
Maybe she has! This is good pro life policy.
You go girl! Keep marginalizing yourself cuz you and sistah palin are going to be pretty lonely at the next GOP convention, if there is one.
Ok I’m heading off to bed…… still have laundry to put up…… It sure is nice to start becoming normal again…..
You’re getting pretty spunky. Good for you!
That guy who goes around the world dancing for his youtubes with people from everywhere. Matt. That’s as close as I’ve seen somebody to what we may need.
What I see this past week is some scary, Goth black version of “It’s A Small World”
Hatred makes people ugly. I have been guilty of hating Republicans, but I don’t want to be like them. I stopped blogging because I find life too precious and beautiful to waste it on people like Ann Coulter. I’m just not strong enough to deal with subjects like Ann Coulter’s hideously disfigured soul and walk away without tainting my own Karma in kind.
I wish Ann Coulter and the rest of those nasty nasty people the best of luck. What goes around comes around. I think they need all the luck they can muster, because payback is gonna be a bitch.
Good night and pleasant dreams everyone. It’s you that make FDL one of my favorite places to read and think about what’s going on.
(((katymine)))
I’ve been thinking about ya, and yer crazy sheriff. Hope you are well. nite.
And now you ALL can watch THE crazy sheriff on Faux new reality show ……
Nite all…..
Nighters. Dream about something more pleasant than laundry though!
Best dreams.
Ann Coulter is still among the living dead?
Nite katymine. Great to see you!
Please join us here at FDL! Your voice is needed and welcome.
Ann who?
late late nite upstairs
Wait! Is this actually Coulter’s rationale for why it’s okay for FOX and the right wing to blame Clinton, liberals, gays etc. for things like 9/11? Because liberals are so “Swedish”?
and Sarah is a baby machine,Ann a barren wasteland…poor thing
And this Old Maid (I know, it’s on a hinge) is a paragon of a hetero Mummy-Daddy marriage? Didn’t know Jack the Ripper and Lizzie Borden got together.
Her Gooper lectures are just the same old provocation for a buck and camera time.
Can’t we all just agree to ignore this brainless skag from here on out? Remember – change! She (or It) thrives on attention, and we lefties always fall into her trap, treating her seriously even as we dish her. We can marginalize her by not noticing her anymore. I plan to do just that after this post. I won’t read or comment about her again.
