Edwards Calls Coulter ‘She-Devil’

You conveniently forgot to add that Coulter’s comment was mocking a comment by Bill Maher who said that he thought it would be good if Vice President Cheney was killed in a trip to Afghanistan. His comment was at the same time as Coulters’ “faggot” comment but received little to no coverage. The Edwards camp took her comment on “Good Morning America” out of context and placed it on their website.

John who?

John Edwards must be low on cash again!

Rick Klein should not be allowed out of the house. Either he’s ignorant or deceitful or both. To leave out the context of Coulter’s assassination remark just perpetrates that particular fiction – which I honestly believe is his intent.

Nice job, there, giving the Coulter quote out of context and not mentioning that she was CRITICIZING media blowhards like yourself who give liberals a pass on personal attacks — she was mocking Bill Maher who said he wished VP Cheney had died in a terrorist assassination plot. No outrage from the media there, and no phone call setups from Lynn Cheney either
I think your blog entry here qualifies as an in-kind contribution from ABC News to the Edwards campaign.
Think that through the next time you clowns have a meetings about your consistently declining viewership. If we want to hear what you guys have to say, we can just go the Edwards (or Clinton or Obama) campaign website like you guys do every morning before you decide what “news” stories to cover.

Wow, Bob, that’s strained spin. It is reprehensible to quote and demonstrate the absurdity of your opposition — “it would be as crazy of me to say X if you allow the other guy to say Y” ???
You’re in the camp that, indeed, doesn’t think that Maher should be criticized — which is exactly what Coulter was doing.
I would agree that it was “equally represensible”, as you put it, for the Edwards camp to quote Coulter out of context, and for the MSM to go along with it.

Not covered in the media: Edwards is an investor in a group that is now engaging in forclosures on Katrina victims who fell into the sub-prime lending trap. To my knowledge, unlike Edwards, Ann Coulter has never profited from the eviction and misery of didaster victims.

I would be shocked if anyone in the lame-stream media ever treated any conservative fairly. Why is it that readers such as CompMike have to bring out facts to put Ann’s remarks in proper context? It couldn’t be that all the writers and editors have the same left-wing bias, could it?
Ann is brilliant, ascerbic and sarcastic. She is so clever that most who hear her sound bites really have no idea what she is talking about. The lame-stream media may not like her, but that is no excuse to be unfair.

Pretty sad when the we have people in America that approve of or defend someone like Ann Coulter for her vile statements. That said, she seems to be able to find TV time on every major corporate network when she needs it.
Whether you are right or left is this really the type of person you want to respect and/or listen too?
Remember, she is laughing all the way to the bank when you read her hate filled books. By the way, what are her qualifications on anything except language and hate?
Don Imus where are you?

One, that wasn’t what she was doing, and Two, Bill Maher never said that. Check the transcript of his show

John Edwards would kick most folks’ butts; he’s a tough trial lawyer from blue-collar roots. The glib assessment of his masculinity that Coulter offered is absurd.

Where was John Edwards when his wife called “Hardball” to criticize Ann Coulter? If John was offended by Ann’s remark, why could a presidential candidate and former Senator speak for himself?
Will Edwards ask his wife to call al Queda and complain they are meanies? Time to get a life of your own, John.

Coulter made light of the death of the Edwards’ son. She’s repeatedly dismissed the service of Max Cleland because he a triple amputee in Vietnam due to an accident rather than in combat. She makes a good living by crossing the lines of decency, to the detriment of our democratic discourse.
I’m a conservative, and Ann Coulter in no way speaks for me.

Will:
“Remember, she is laughing all the way to the bank when you read her hate filled books.”
Ann Coulter is extremely mild when compared to what you find on the Daily Kos, Democrats.com, and other far-left hate sites. She’s essentially the conservative version of Molly Ivins, only more attractive and intelligent.

Whether you like Anne Coulter or not, this is shameful, to conveniently leave out was she actually said…

You poor misguided sheep. Ann Coulter and Bill Maher dated, and are good friends. Ann Coulter herself did not mention Bill Maher’s remarks on that interview, so why should that CONTEXT even be considered. God only knows what ANN COULTER was thinking when she said it. And some GOP here believe they are Miss Cleoe and can read her mind for “context.”
I will stick with what she actually said, rather than the imagined context. If she had been referencing something that her FLING Bill had said, I assume she would have mentioned it.

It’s amusing whenever the Edward’s Campaign is low on funds, they choose to attack Ann Coulter or Fox News. Obvious signs of a desperate campaign with no issues or values to stand on. Also interesting how Edward’s pulls out his Conservative hate card to change subjects from his latest campaign flub with his critical bash of the banking industry for the foreclosures on Hurricane Katrina victim’s homes when he has over $16 million invested with the same banks. He is truly a joke of a candidate and always good for a laugh.

That prompted Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC’s “Hardball” and challenge Coulter directly. “I want to use the opportunity … to ask her politely to stop the personal attacks,” Mrs. Edwards said.
I wonder if she meant personal attacks like calling a woman, oh I don’t know. “She Devil” maybe.
The Edwards clan is almost as good at hypocricy and ABC’s micreant Rick Klein is at liberally editing other’s quotes.

Wow, this place is just chock full of right-wing trolls isn’t it?
I swear you folks would consider Pravda circa 1967 the ‘liberal media.’
But then, if all you ever listen to is Rush, and all you ever watch is Faux News, what is to be expected? Bet you still think that Sadam was behind 9-11.
Tell me one thing though, how do you keep your knuckles from getting scraped up as they drag across the ground? What a bunch of Neanderthals.
I think I’ll put on some Baby Einstein now, I need something intellectual after reading all your swill.

the democrats created ANN COULTER. in the 1980′s and 90′s they ran around calling conservatives racist’s and alot of other stuff until finally someone got fed up and started to describe the liberals as they really are. to bad it had to be a woman first. makes all us guys look spineless.

Why can’t ABC simply state that Coulter was referring to Maher’s comment that he wished the Vice-President had been killed. And, you wonder why people see bias in the mainstream media.

Your paragraph about Ann Coulter’s remarks on “Good Morning America” is totally deceitful, leaving out the context. Ms. Coulter was pointing out sarcastically that the mainstream media and commentators were apoplectic over her referring to John Edwards as a “faggot”, but gave a pass to Bill Maher on his suggestion that, if the Vice President had been killed in a recent terrorist assassination attempt on him in Afganistan, more people (in Iraq, presumably) would be alive now and in the future. To the media, this was just fair comment. Ms. Coulter was commenting facetiously that the lesson here, apparently, is that the safe, acceptable way for one to attack John Edwards (or any political enemy) is to wish that he had been killed in a terrorist plot! ABC, be honest in your reporting.

ANN the Howard Stern of politics only someone with a second grade education would support her comments. Give me a break.

For the record, Coulter specifically mentioned Maher’s comment when interviewed – and so did the interviewer, to clarify Maher’s comment, which (despite what some are trying to spin here) was roughly if Cheney was killed by terrorists, the world would be a better place because less people would die, which is both illogical and explicitly hateful.
Edwards calls Coulter a she-devil and Dean calls Republicans evil, and yet people still believe the right is the bastion of hate. Please.

Many interesting comments. I call John Edwards “The Glassman”. Why? Because most inteligent folks can see right through him!
To you Edwards supporters, isn’t about time you turn away from limosine liberals like him that tell the rest of us how to live and what people to support while they wrap themselves in luxury and excess in their 10,000+ square feet mansions?? Have you not had your fill of the Kennedys, the Kerrys and the Edwards who promise everything and deliver nothing?? John Edwards made his fortunes winning questionable product liability lawsuits based upon junk data….and every single American (that’s us, boys & girls!) has lined the Edwards’ bank account as a result. One of the biggest problems this Country faces today is TOO MANY attorneys that have to make a living….some how. Want to scare hell out of yourself? Open your local Yellow Pages to “Attorneys”….the result will leave you gasping for air! And the last thing America needs is another attorney in the White House.

Anyone who aspires to be president must respect people’s right to speak in any form, be it from the left or the right. It is the president’s job to ensure and respect the 1st amendment and the right of all American’s to speak out. Anytime a candidate rails against the media it shows they are unfit for the job.

Oh, no! Johnny called Ann a “name caller”! That’s name calling! Name caller, name caller! That’s almost as pathetic as Edwards’ and most other Democrats’ vacuous conscience.

Ann Coulter is bad for politics and bad for America. Her commentary is shallow and the only way she gains publicity is by making outrageous comments. I am glad that someone is finally calling her out for her hateful speech.

Poor John Edwards, No publicity, no one interested in his campaign…he needs Ann Coulter to get his name in the news, even if its negative.

Yawn!

I love the hypocrisy. Edwards sends his wife to call in and ambush Ann Coulter when she’s on MSNBC, and Elizabeth talks about civility and a higher level of discourse and begs Ann to stop name-calling. Then John Edwards comes out and calls her a she-devil. Way to raise the level of dialogue, Johnny boy!
If America falls for this phony, we get what we deserve.

“Sticks and Stones!” The Democrats can sure dish it out, but they can’t take it.

John Edwards is a plastic person, not to be taken seriously. He is a very distracting person. A nuisance. He must have Ann Coulter, because he has no plan except to promise to victims that he will take care of them with tax payers’ money. I get nauseated when I hear socialist ambulance chasers such as John Edwards speak, because approximately 50% of the American citizenry actually think they are victims, thanks to liberal pap.

John Edwards will not engage in a presidential debate on FOX because he believes them biased but he attends a KOS convention. If he does not want to engage in debate with biased organizations or people he should stay away from Ann Coulter she has a strong intellectual bias.

in 08′

in a cage match, for the presidency.

Let’s see…..and who was it that said the Republican’s use the “politics of personal destruction”? Sen. Edwards uses Ann Coulter and even his wife to promote his cause….whatever that might be. Who needs that for a leader?

This whole thing is idiotic. It reminds me of the saying “Don’t fight with pigs because you both get dirty, and the pigs like it.” Don’t we have more important things to think about? Anyway, the longer this goes on the harder it is to tell which one is the pig.

Ann Coulter is a She-Devil.

Compare Anne to the lib Anne Coulter, Cindy Sheehan.

Using the Coulter quote of context is why nobody trusts the network news reporting.

hey honey…c’mere…i think i found the 25% of the country that still thinks the republicans are doing a good job! and get this; some of them think ann coulter is HOT and they’re going to win in ’08!!! isn’t that cute?!!!

Maybe ABC News’ Rick Klein just needs to be more accurate and forthright. Most conservatives are smart enough to see through the engineering of rhetoric. Maybe the liberals aren’t. I suppose he is “preaching to the choir”, and isn’t smart enough to know it.

Why oh why would a Presidental Candidate have to use a political satirist CONTINUALLY to raise donations?? John’s “two America’s” shouldn’t donate either. Let him continue to raise his money from trial lawyers.

so clever to post under different names so u can say the same thing a hundred different ways…very sean hannity.
get a life republicans. your days are numbered. enjoy the end of your murderous era.

I’ll use the words John Edwards used to describe when he found out Karl Rove was leaving. “Good bye and good riddance John.”
Your irrelevant

Coulter’s “Satire”?
Satire is about mocking the powerful. To be right-wing is BY DEFINITION to be in favour of the powerful. That’s what the term actually means. There is no such thing as right-wing satire.
John Edwards is for the little guy. He started with nothing and became a major force for good in this country with his own talent and perseverance. “She-devil” ? He’s kicking ass!

It’s surprising how many folks on this comment thread justify Coulter’s sleazy behavior by mentioning Maher’s sleazy behavior.
The fact is that this kind of name calling represents the lowest level of public discourse our country has ever seen.
Is this what our country is all about? Does Ann Coulter represent what the Republican party is all about? Would Lincoln have called his opponents
“faggots” or said they should be murdered?
I don’t think so. Real leaders have class and integrity even when push comes to shove. And I think the more Republican’s engage in name calling, the more damage they do to the party.
The same holds true of Democrats. Of course the Dems tend to call people names based on a holier than thou attitude. Some of my Democratic friends will call those who disagree with them on affirmative action or immigration racists or fascists. Lame.
And that kind of intellectual bigotry is almost as bad as putting down someone for their skin color or sexual preferences.
But anyone, Republican or Democrat, who calls their opponents names is just being intellectually dishonest.
All that does is show that you can’t put together a logical argument. It’s 3rd grade debating. That’s why Ann Couler and Rush Limbaugh are considered such lightweights by the general public — Because they think in terms of put downs and bumper sticker slogans and our country’s problems are far more complex than that.
That’s not to say that Edwards is a political Einstein. But on occasion, he comes up with interesting ideas for fixing our nation’s problems. A few of the Republican’s do as well — when they aren’t trying to be apologists for Bush and Iraq.
But those who try to defend Coulter are just plain lame. You guys need to learn how to think for yourselves.

If Lincoln were alive today, he’d be a Democrat, not a Republican. That’s clear.

(so many of) You people are crazy – why don’t y’all do something useful instead of all this stupid name-calling.

I think John Edwards has cried “Wolf!” a.k.a. Ann Coulter, once too often. I believe the result is the same as in the fairy tale. People, understandably, stop listening. The millionaire trial lawyer, having completed his Poverty Tour, is stumping for a headline. His dilemma is similar to one facing Britney Spears. With all the issues facing our nation and the world, we have Mr. Edwards demonstrating his Presidential timber by running up the ‘attack ann’ battle flag. He wants to Commander in Chief?

There you go again, taking Coulter out of context. You make it sound like she wants the guy dead. I’m no big fan of Ann Coulter, but for God’s sake you should at least put her GMA quote in context.

I’m glad to see that so many people see through the article. This is nothing more than an attempt to help Edwards raise money and it tries to influence readers by omitting key parts of the story. The only support for the article that I have read are from people who spew more hate than opinion. Why is it so hard to discuss and disagree without such vulgar behavior?

For heaven’s sake! Have we run out of issues just to throw insults to people that have no validity like Ms. Coulter? How about all our lovely candidates (it seems like ‘contestants’ is a more apt word) providing sound answers for fiscal and security policy.

“Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media — including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh…”
Notice how the liberal news media uses right-wing with Fox News? If Fox News tagged ABC News as left-wing (which is actually true) the talking heads would be frantic and the ABC News lawyers would be in court searching for a liberal judge to issue a cease and desist order.

“I shouldn’t have name called”….this is what Democrats always and I mean always do. They have no new ideas, so they resort to name calling. Where are the Democrats’ new ideas? Tax reform (not just “taxing the rich”), social security reform, new education ideas, etc. There only ideas are from either the New Deal or from the 60s.

I guess this is where Rush Limbaugh’s followers come to meet.
WHAT LOSERS

dont they read coulters books? they walked right into it:
“shes a she-devil” and she “engages in hateful language”
very typical lefties.
i also think its funny how there are sparse liberals have posted here.
looks like the only ppl that are reading this were directed by the drudge report.
YOU HAVE NO READERS/VIEWERS lame stream media.
haha, i borrowed that from a post above.

Christopher London: Hear, hear!

Right Jordan,
And don’t forget Hillary Clinton – another one term do nothing Senator.

oh what a travesty. I’m going to have to start putting money in the parking meter, least I lock my front door and chain my pit bull. What has become of all of this displeasure?

Dont trust anyone that has a “Snake oil” salesman look.

What people here call ambulance chasers are lawyers who help people win lawsuits against bad doctors,hospitals, etc.
God forbid any of you experience such malpractice in your lives. You’d run to the nearest so-called “ambulance chaser” to get what’s coming to you.
Hypocrites.

I don’t think Coulter acted flustered. If anything she was surprised a presidential candidates wife would stoop to calling in to a tv show. I think she expected more class from Mrs. Edwards!

This is clearly why Mr. Edwards does not have a chance. First he cannot get along with his nieghbors, town and state. He could not get re-elected to Congress from his own area. His wife has to have MSNBC assist on a unapproviate stunt, that was unprofessional for MSNBC news staff to even consider. Why are we hearing about a third tier candidate, with no support? Is ABC afraid that the “Right” might win in 08? Find another topic, it is not helping the bottom line.

“You conveniently forgot to add that Coulter’s comment was mocking a comment by Bill Maher who said that he thought it would be good if Vice President Cheney was killed in a trip to Afghanistan.”
Uhhh, yeah they FORGOT to add that!
ABC News of course ALWAYS tries to be objective.
[~~~ eyes rolling ~~~]

Why is it that only the left can have satire? Maybe you do not understand what a conservative is. Democrats do not hold one single position on issues nor do Conservatives. I am not a ‘rich powerful person’ either. However, I am sick and tired of listening to a group of people that try to make people not ‘like-minded’ feel belittled or stupid or ashamed to disagree with you. The talk shows, the night time shows, magazines…it is non-stop. American’s should be able to have differing ideas and not be the same. All I am hearing from Democrats is that they are not allowed to differ themselves because they only want their candidates to trash the Republicans. I want to know what every candidate thinks about issues. Why are citizens trying to silence people on the right??? Hugo Chavez silences citizens thru intimidation. Why oh why are some Democrats trying to do the same???

Insightful as she is, whatever possessed Ann Coulter to agree to that rope-a-dope appearance on liberal MSNBC — from which the Edwards campaign was able to generate such easy cash? Matthews obviously was working in league with them.
Why are otherwise-savvy conservatives such obliging patsies?

Ann Coulter is a cruel, foul-mouthed, know-it-all fool (My opinion). She can wear that crucifix every day but there is no place for her in the Christian faith.

You so-called conservatives have a gift for taking someone’s personal tragedy and turning it against them, as though they should keep quiet about a wife’s cancer, a son’s death due to a wrong and misguided war, etc. As if those experiences aren’t important to the candidates world view and wouldn’t influence how they would govern. There’s nothing tough or manly about belittling someone over their hair, their talking about their dead son, or their complaining about someone’s hate speech. If you’re really so tough, get your fat butts over to Iraq. Your beloved commander needs you for the escalation of the surge. After all, his daughters are too busy.

It’s a shame that some men feel so threatened by a strong woman. So should she go back to the kitchen and cook for you? Admit it….you hate women and that’s your problem not Ms. Coulter. Sound familiar anyone??

Eye Doctor to his patient: Your myophic, can’t focus and can’t read the writing on the wall. How long have you been a democract? (chuckle)

John Edwards is a moron and cannot hold an intellectual candle to Coulter
——————————————
Yeah, that must be why he became successful trial lawyer and a Senator. He couldn’t make it writing hate-filled books.

Ron – you’re kidding, right? John Edwards is probably the guy closes to Ronald Reagan? In what sense that they’re both males? I didn’t see Ronald Reagan trotting his wife out to defend him. That’s just a start. Ronald Reagan was about minimizing government intrusion into our lives. I hardly think that is what John Edwards will do.

Furthermore, the fact that he has any legitimacy as one of the front runners for the nomination is embarrassing for the Democratic Party
——————————————
Remember those words when Fred Thompson rides in on his white horse to save the Republicans from Hillary. I read today that many Republicans want him to win the nomination because he is tall and would look impressive standing next to Hillary.

Ann Coulter is one of the most articulate writers on the political scene and her logic is sound. Her arguments against the left are very compelling and I don’t hear John Edwards or anyone else on the left disputing them; they just talk about how she attacks them. Why doesn’t John Edwards defend himself against the accusation of being an “ambulance chasing” lawyer? What about some of the cases he has tried? There are several that smell like ambulance chasing to me and quite sleazy at that.

Oddly enough, the number of comments from Conservatives here makes me wonder why we’re all wasting our time reading All Biased Commie News…

unbelievable liberal bias.
i’m a democrat but seriously.
just terrible

To all of you people who are so much holier than the rest of us, who complain about how this is supposed to be a civilized society and, gasp, look at this name calling —- this is a comments section on an article. This is not a political debate. This is not a town meeting. It’s a freakin’ internet story. If there’s ever a place to say “you’re an idiot and a hypocrite and here’s why,” this is the place to do it.

What is telling here is in the insults that conservatives and liberals toss back in forth. One side is personally attacking the other, saying all sorts of vile and hateful things. The other side is insulting certain people and organizations, limiting their criticism instead generalizing. Even then, 9 out of 19 of the insults/comments in nature are more to say proof of their claims, and to express theri displeasure towards a policy. Only a few attack in general.
The first group is liberal/democrat supports, and the second is the conservative/republican supporters.
Kinda goes to show…. A tree is known by it’s fruit…

Good point, Phil … I’m leaving this ‘discussion,’ because it’s nothing of the sort. Night all, PEACE OUT.

The poster who thinks that Fox News in pervasively liberal is as out of touch as those who think that Ann Coulter is anything but a right wing opportunist, riding to riches on the looniest hate speech she can come up with.

I’m not surprised by an ABC News reporter skewing the facts to slant an article.
Yes, Ann Coulter is a shcok jock and yes, a comedian, so you need to report the context of what she said, and why.
So, it bears repeating that you conveniently forgot to add that Coulter’s comment was mocking a comment by Bill Maher who said that he thought it would be good if Vice President Cheney was killed in a trip to Afghanistan. His comment was at the same time as Coulters’ “faggot” comment but received little to no coverage.

People like Ann Coulter and her ilk are why the Republican party has lost its battle to lead another generation. Coulter’s unnecessary and despicable comments about Edward, the 9/11 wives, and the Republicans failure to publically denounce her are further proof that they do not have the moral character to lead.
Personal attacks and character assassination only shows that you do not have the intellectual heft to win an argument or that your position is weak. Republicans have become the party of effette playground bullies who pretend to be patriots but never actually serve their country.
Reagan and Goldwater would be ashamed of what their party has become.

Bill Maher is a functional idiot…..night all

Thank you Idahoveterinarian! It would be nice if some of our fellow Americans returned to civil discourse even if they don’t agree with one another instead of seeing who can put down who the fastest.

I’m enjoying all the anguished complaints from you right-wingers who are so up in arms about the kind of ad hominem attacks you have employed so infamously over recent decades.
Does the name Karl Rove sound familiar? Or Lee Atwater?
Swallow a little poison now and then, and like Mithridates, you too will outlive your enemies.

John quoted Bill Maher:
“If Dick Cheney was fighting in Afghanistan right now and something happened to him, I think they world would be a better place”
and then “John” added:
..” in regards to his foreign policy. It was a jab at foreign policy, not a fatwah to kill Cheney.”
You’re kidding, right?! You even quoted Maher, and you and the rest of the Lefties STILL deny that Maher wanted Dick Cheney to die?!
Oh .. I get it! This is the same kind of defense that Bubba used: “Well, it depends on what the word “IS” is!” You are either dumb, delusional, or gullible! The rest of us (us “Right Wing Nutjobs”/”Neocons”) know EXACTLY what he meant!

One more reason why Edwards is my candidate…

Coulter was NOT ‘flustered’ as the article states. Many would be, though. She railed back like she should… saying that Edwards is so upset by her comments that her husband uses her for political fundraising.

*”If I’m gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot,” Coulter said.*
Totally out of context and used in a deceitful way.
People are watching what you do, and turning off your network because they know they’re being lied to.

I would love to see the Democrats nominate John Edwards to run for president in 2008. This would most certainly assure a Republican victory.

John Edwards is such a lightweight – it SHOULD embarass the North Carolinians something awful that they elected him to Congress – even once. If he weren’t rich, we’d never hear from him again.

John Edwards: Another Liberal Hypocrite

Today, John Edwards said he shouldn’t name call . . . right after calling Ann Coulter a she-devil. What a hypocrite, the Breck Girl:Oh, and also, he’s made money off a company that has foreclosed on Katrina victims, a practice

The Coulter quotes totally are out of context, and when I viewed the so-called confrontation Coulter certainly didn’t seem to me to have been flustered. I can see how Edwards in particular, and Democrats in general, would consider Coulter a she- devil. She regularly calls their hand and that puts the heat on them, hence, she-devil.
Haha. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you cannot take, don’t give. What goes around comes around.
Coulter is surgically incisive and shows no one mercy. I would hate to live around her, but I appreciate her ability and willingness to cut to the chase and fearlessly state the obvious that many others see but fear to say.
Hang in there, Ann, and keep doing what it is you do well, that is non-PC deflation of bloated liberal egos.

I’m not a fan of Ms. Coulter’s drive-by tactics, I disagree with her stooping to the level to quote Mr. Mauher’s hate speech, and her tactics make it difficult to believe that she is truly a disciple of Jesus Christ, but leaving out the context of her quote is tantamout to journalism that is truly bush league. This is the kind of “press release” (political propoganda) that one would expect from the DNC not ABC News.

“Atomic:”
I’ve written about ten posts. Please explain which of my points you believe are “nonsense!” Otherwise, I’ll just assume that you read the first three words, saw that I’m a “Right-Wing Neocon” (read: I disagree with you and that makes me stoopit) and then added YOUR talking points!
Winning in the arena of ideas doesn’t usually end with: “you stupid fool!”

Phil,
No – they are not interested in helping brainwashed Muslims, or women, or gays.
The GOP of today is full of extremists, ideologues, religious fanatics, and bigots. They are corrupt, incompetent and dishonest.
What happen to real conservatism? Oh – that’s right – Karl Rove was more interested in getting GWB 2 terms. What a price the GOP has paid for that.

Christopher:
I don’t totally disagree with you. But currently, the only way that a Candidate has a viable chance to win is with our two-Party system. Finding a way around that seems like a daunting task! However, I think the more likely thing to do is for voters to DEMAND that their Party — Democrat or Republican — start finding Candidates who reflect the views of the Party whole!

John Edwards is desperate. He might as well all it quits becuase a Hillary/Edwards ticket will never fly and would certainly doom the Democrats.

The American Public buys into this false Left/Right Paradigm. At the end of the day, does it make a difference? Perhaps in the present instance, if only because this is the most singularly corrupt regime in the history of the republic. The Democrats have shielded this adminstration from the depth of their corruption. Why you ask? Because the corporate interests that finance everything do not want the Executive Branch destabilized and the American public contemplating “The Big Lie”

Larry,
I as far from a Marxist as they get. I am very pro Capitalism. I also support the Democratic party and am socially progressive. I live in a Democracy not a Theocracy
I am just anti-corruption, croynism, dishonesty, incompetence, extremism. The hallmarks of the GOP today.
No one in their right mind can support the GOP after the last 7 years. The GOP is in our bedrooms, spending our paychecks, and letting religious leaders speak for them. Scary stuff from the Government.

Ann Coulter is a disgrace to the Republican party. Can you imagine the likes of Ronald Reagan stooping so low as to make the comments Coulter makes?
What kind of Christian calls for an assassination attempt, even in jest? For ANY Republican to justify her speech shows me how far the party has fallen in their attempt to hold on to power.
As for Bill Maher, he, too, was wrong to say what he said…as was Edwards to call Coulter a “she-devil.”
This kind of nonsense has to stop. This nation has serious problems to deal with. We don’t need people like Ann Coulter — who offer no constructive criticism — spewing filth on the airwaves.
If my Republican grandparents were alive today, they would be horrified to see what their party has disintegrated into. It’s really quite tragic, when you think about it.

its so funny to read the comments here, although i didn’t read them all, but to me it seems that most of the comments are complaining about this site being liberal, which makes me think that the majority of the posts are from conservatives…if the conservatives hate the site so much, why are they posting? as far as the story, coulter is a she devil…she is a vile person that engages in shock journalism and tv because she knows she has an audiance in the “conservative” crowd which has made her rich…people like her are destroying this nation by increasing the hatred between the dems and the reps…if people like coulter would quit the hate talk this country would be better…atleast mahr gives every side a chance to talk on his show and doesn’t call them a complete idiot while they are there….people need to quit hating someone just because of their label of conservative or liberal and do what is best for the country, which is to take advantage of democracy and have intelligent debates, not name calling and encouraging hate

Ann Coulter is badly in need of a mouth-lift!

You people are idiots. I’m glad you can find such useless crap to argue about amongst yourselves. Maybe someday you morons can start addressing more serious issues, until then I recommend that most of you try to get a life.

Um, Bill Mahr is a COMMEDIAN.
There are two problems with Ann Coulter’s referencing of Mahr’s comment. Ann, as I recall, quoted Mahr nearly verbatim without any context. She presented the comment as if it were her own and most people didn’t realize it to be anything else since she makes similar comments regularly to keep attention on herself. I won’t bother listing all of them, there’s not enough space here.
The second problem, Ann Coulter is a Political pundit who has been hired on several occasions to speak at Bon-e-fide Republican events. Her hate rhetoric has the Party stamp of approval and support. She is the voice of the modern Republican party.
Bill Mahr, on the other hand, IS A FREAKING COMMEDIAN.
Poor right wingers. The persecution complex is so freaking old already. Maybe you can just grow up and act like big boys and big girls.

This discussion is pointless anyway because the GOP will be out of power for a generation and deservedly so.
When the GOP no longer is run by the religious right Theocrats – I will think about joining again.

Just like a typical leftist journalist to leave out context. You do know that Coulter was “uncharacteristically” flustered because she was totally unaware of Mrs. Edwards little session.
Keep it up, journalists, almost everyone has you figured out, except those that love to be spoon fed.

You may not like the Dems 2nd tier prospect, John Edwards but at least he is not a nut case bible thumper like the GOP’s 2nd tier candidate Huckabee – what an embarrasment to the USA.
We can do much better.

The GOP is filled with fat, old, out of shape white men who have one pervasive interest…$$$. They need to take some exercise and stop stuffing their greedy mouths with all those free Capitol Hill dinners the tax payers foot the bill for.
$$$ is the motivating factor in everything they do, in every law they pass, in every policy decision they make. Iraq was about oil. Always was, always will be. There is no democracy in Iraq. Never was, never will be.
The Republican party collectively hides behind the Bible, but they obviously haven’t read it lately. The biggest hypocrites in the world are these supposedly Christian right-wingers, who make a mockery of all that Christ taught and died for. Love thy neighbor? Not unless he’s white, rich and blond.
They don’t fool the nation and they’re not going to fool the electorate in the next Presidential election.

Dan:
Calm down. Besides, you are the one who started the name calling.

Jackie:
You called ME a retreater. That’s why I didn’t understand your comments to me. I’ve always thought that the Democrats had trademarked the concept of retreat.

Someone on here mentioned Hell frezzing over. HOW could that happen, Global Gore say’s the earth is getting warmer.. So if Hell freezes over then that would make Golbal Gore a lyer..ERR wait he is, sonever mind..

R J,
That’s right Global Warming is just a hoax – all the world’s top scientists are wrong. You and the science haters and religious fanatics in the GOP know better.
Did the tooth fairy tell you that there is no Global Warming?

I was unsure whether I should post a reply. After reading the sophomoric arguments by the lefties it seems a little too much like sparring with a one-armed weakling.
Oh well, I can’t help it, I will say a few things, without going too far beneath the surface. Here goes: the ranting denigrations against Coulter tend to be so cookie-cutter, insubstantial, and immature, that one could simply replace “Coulter” with “Edwards” in most of those posts, and voila! you have an appropriate reply — like two playground kids having a little go-round of “I know you are but what am I?” Pathetic. Grow the *** up, lefties, and learn to argue with a little force and panache, rather than the bellicose, mawkish retorts you are wont to post. It’s understood that you’re deathly afraid of Coulter and her ilk, and so intolerant that you would gladly cast away the Bill of Rights if it would stifle this type of outspoken conservatism — but you could sure take some debating lessons from her.
As for Edwards, does this cheap ambulance-chasing hack actually inspire anything more than a curdled stomach? He truly is a conniving charlatan of the most nauseating variety. It goes to show that you can, indeed, fool some of the people all of the time.

Our conservative friends seem to forget how to type even when the talking points are put in oh-so-easy cut and paste blogs. Ann Coulter is a lightning rod period. Anything she says is destined for book sales and hopeful talk show gigs. Her little sister and fellow lawyer Laura Ingram is no different. The hair thing goes back to Rush Limbaugh. Rush is insanely jealous of anyone who weighs less or has more hair than himself. Being on the left only intensifies this. Nice try my little pinheaded neocons. Your attempts have been wasted.

Calling Coulter a she devil is an insult to all of us she devil’s. Next to her we have an angelic halo over our heads. She is so much fouler.

I hope Edwards stays in the race as long as possible. He handed our President the largest presidential election margin in two generations with his rantings the last time. Keep up the vitriole Edwards. Ann Coulter isn’t running for any office, but it gives you the news spots you desparately need You may be the greatest hope for the GOP to date. My, my, it simply infuriates the left when Ms Coulter points out the insanity of the liberal fools who are driving the dems these days.

If Ann Coulter were just some person on the street she would still be one of the meanest,hurtful and most awful individuals I’ve ever come across in modern times. She is a hollow person; devoid of feeling for anyone. It doesn’t matter what her motives are or were or will be. I don’t hate her because I can’t see why someone would attack others where she can hurt them or their children or families the most. It’s a puzzle and not normal.

Hey, not a fan of Jimmy “Yikes! there’s a killer rabbit” Carter,” but I think Bush is worse…this Iraq situation is really a mess and I feel like Bush led us down the primrose path to a foreign policy debacle that will take years — maybe decades — to rectify.
Anyway, thanks for your response.

RE: Suzanne
She’s just telling it how she sees it Suzanne.
She’s taken the abuse from the left for too long and now is striking back. The left isn’t use to that…

The only time I ever saw Ann Coulter she had her facts completely wrong and when she was corrected denied the correction. After a bit of back and forth she said she would have to check what the interviewer had told her. She was rude, arrogant, ignorant and obnoxious. Maybe she earns her living being that way.
John Edwards on the other hand is honest and informed. If he chased ambulances it is because the state of health care in America leaves many people as victims when they most need help. Always keep in mind the elderly woman who was taken from her hospital bed and dumped on a sidewalk with homeless people. I’d like to see John Edwards president. Get a little law and order and decency back in America.

Edwards like all polticians are sickos. The live on other peoples money and banter about with hate. John and elizabeth are hate merchants for their on gains on others sicko’s money.

Edwards is an IDIOT. The best thing to do with someone like Ann Coulter is say nothing at all, anything else will only multiply her popularity.
Personally, I’d like to see both Edwards and Coulter disappear. I agree with Coulter’s views more than Edwards but I still can’t stand her.

Edwards does not care about anybody but himself. He moves in across from a person that he then complains about not keeping his house the way Edwards and his Wife would like.
Maybe the guy does not have the money John has because he did not spend his life suing people.

Jason you said this and you are so wrong. Why when he was offered to Clinton did Clinton not take him?
YOU MAKE BUSH THE BAD GUY?
Just remember righties- it is because of you and your congressional leaders and President that Osama Bin Laden is still living life as a free man! Thanks

Coulter is a disgusting sleeze slinger. As far as I’m concerned, those who defend her ways, and then talk about John Edward’s hair in the same rant, have the same intellect. Smart people are disgusting too. Who gives a damn about her being taken out of context in this one instance? Get a grip Coulter defenders. Christ!

Dear ABC
We (the media consuming public) are not as ignorant as we used to be and so, will not swallow your propoganda as easily as we did in the 60′s.
We know that Ann Coulter used the comment about Edwards being assassinated as a saracastic mockery of the left-wing Bill Maher who said Cheney should be assassinated in Afghanistan.. . which none of you liberals called him out on.
We also know Coulter wasn’t flustered, she was set up by MSNBC and Edwards’s wife… she was sarcastic and satirical with them and made both Chris Matthews and Edwards wife look ridiculous

If you watch the Hardball segment closely, you’ll hear Coulter’s response to Elizabeth Edwards as the most honest thing she’s ever said. Paraphrasing, Coulter basically says that she won’t stop name calling because it’s how she gets paid!! If she stopped name calling, she’d get no TV appearances and wouldn’t sell any books.

Let’s get something straight around here. The mainstream media are all owned by large corporations, which are inherently not liberal. True liberalism, among other things, opposes letting corporations control the government by controlling what we believe. The ‘liberal’ media put Bush in the White House by making Al Gore out to be a liar when he was telling the truth. The ‘liberal’ media let Bush get away with making jokes about ‘A dictatorship would be easier, as long as I’m the one giving orders.’ Bush said that three times before the 2000 election. Think what happens if you make a bomb joke at the airport. Would you hire some guy to be a camp conselor if he jests about pedophilia?
It is a well-understood fact of the human brain that if we hear a lie a thousand times we start to believe it. We have heard the ‘liberal media’ lie a thosand times. It isn’t true now and was barely true forty years ago.
If you ever want to learn what real liberals think, forget the big media. Read the Nation, read Mother Jones, read Utne Reader, read In These Times. Liberals saved the world from Hitler, when the conservatives would have preferred to sit that one out. Liberals set free the slaves. Jesus was a liberal. The good guys have always been the liberals. Conservatism, on the other hand, has always been about tricking the peasants into spilling each other’s blood for the benefit of a corrupt aristocracy.

Ronnie wrote “I always say truth is like Kryptonite to a liberal.”
Well if this is the case they should hang around Republicans more. Generally where there is a gathering of Republicans, truth is nowhere to be found. You talked about expanding our intelligence gathering capabilities, that’s funny. That’s something Clinton had proposed back in his 1998 anti-terror legislation which was opposed by Republicans because they couldn’t dare give Clinton a legislative victory. Where were you back then Ronnie? Clinton could have used your help to convince Republicans of just how serious a threat terrorists were. In fact, as I mentioned above, the DHS was proposed by Clinton but it never gained traction and was ingnored by Bush until after September 11th. To bad citizens like you only became “patriots” once Republicans were in office.

Ronnie wrote “Maybe asleep like Clinton was when the twin towers were bombed the first time or maybe when Bin Laden was offerd to him on a silver platter by the Saudis or maybe when our embassies were bombed in Tanzania or maybe when the Cole was bombed in 2000″
Hmmm…where is the ‘mastermind’ behind the 2003 WTC attacks? Roaming free? No, that would be where Bin Laden is. Looks like you drank the same ABC-promoted Kool-aid John did. Bin Laden was never offered up to Clinton like that. Do you think if you repeat it enough it is just going to become fact?

Bin Laden was never offered up to Clinton like that. Do you think if you repeat it enough it is just going to become fact
Sorry it is fact he was offered to Clinton and what happened to the third terrorist at OKC. Clinton said we would get him and a day later not another word about him. ABC why are you not asking about him?
Read the book the third terrorist and you will see the Sadam connection.

Re: Gary
Good piece Gary really, Bravo!!

Ok, Ronnie, I’ll bite…
Is the answer that:
Back in 1996 we had this thing called the “Constitution” and the President then thought trying to incarcerate OBL here in the US before he had committed any crimes against us may have been illegal?
Knowing what we know now, would it have been a good thing had he locked him up, even if it was illegal? I say ‘yes’.
Do I think we should go out now and kill people who might commit a crime (or invade countries who might be a threat)? I say ‘no’.
Crystal balls don’t exist. And I’d rather we did our best to protect ourselves without compromising our (my) principles.

Good stuff coming from an ambulance chaser. Alot of time wasted on Ann Coulter – a sign of desperation?

Bill Maher’s statements were part of a 4-way conversation. There are a number of posters here taking his comments out of context.

ABC News’ Rick Klein Reports: Reports?
Didn’t the word ‘report’ used to imply a reporting of facts? No wonder so many of us completely dismiss the mainstream media. And no wonder people like Sen. (gag!)John Edwards want to change the laws to shut down people like Ann Coulter. Go Ann!

“I personally think this country will be fortunate
if we are smart enough to elect John Edwards as
President of the U.S.

Sure…when was the last time you trusted and thought that a Trial lawyer has great ideas….? Please tell me you are kidding…please?

I forget the name of the man who was running against Hillary for senator awhile back in NY. He was doing well until he tried to “she-devil” her. His approval ratings plummeted and he lost, for picking on a girl.
One-term Edwards has to know he has no chance at the presidency, and his wife mouthing off at Hillary removes any chance at VP. It’s just such a stupid move for a presidential candidate to attack a woman who is not even running for office or his opponent. I know he’s a phony but I wouldn’t vote for Edwards because he seems downright dumb.

Hmm… Looks like John needs another round of campaign donations.

Liberals have no moral compass with which to measure a candidate’s honesty. Edwards is a lying fraud and so is Kerry yet liberals are missing that ‘bell’ in their head to warn them. That is because they are GODLESS. I dare liberals to actually read Ann’s book on that topic. They won’t though, their number one fear is being found out to be wrong.

Don’t you just love it? Where else can you hear classical stuff cited, from Marcus Aurelius to Mithradates, interspliced with all the vituperation that made the newspapers back in the days of Jefferson and Andy Jackson drip with poisonous slander. Americans have always been rowdy! Let the mud fly, and the hurricane winds of strident factionalism blow out the candles of reason for just a little while,—-they always re-light. Shining that light of reason will make the nut-bugs slither off into the darkness, trailing their ooze of “gut feelings” about everything from “man made” environmental change (see volcanoes and sun cycles) to the goodness of big government, to the everpresent conspiracy riders (does any sane person really believe in their partisan world view enough to swallow a monstrous theory of American involvement in 911?)—— behind them into the perpetual gloom. Never having “blogged” before, I have had the very great privilege to say my piece, in a very small way. What a great feeling! Anne Coulter, you rock, babe!

What is so bad about “she-devils”?
I like Ann the she-devil, but I have to hide her books when my progressive (yeah, right) friends come over.
I like Coulter.

…another left-wing author conveniently leaving out important information to further his leftist-socialist agenda. Coulter tells the truth. cannot say the same about Klein, if indeed this blogged summary of his article is as biased as the original piece…..

No liberal media? Please. Just because corporations own the media company does not make it conservative. Look, all the major news networks are based in huge urban areas, such as NYC. The people they employ generally have a certain world view, living in a large urban area. Plus, most liberal arts majors (me being one of the exceptions!), are left of center. Check any college journalism school to verify. These people see the world in a generally liberal, pro-government way in my view. This affects news coverage. Have you heard about the journalist poll in DC a few years ago where 90% of those polled voted for Clinton? It’s the news reporters and decision makers that influence the news mostly, not who owns the company.

Edwards can say whatever he wants. This is all about the First Amendment. Let’s not follow the gov’t down the path of censorship. After all, censorship is becoming America’s favorite past-time. The US gov’t (and their corporate friends), already detain protesters, ban books l, shut down Imus and fire 21-year tenured, BYU physics professor Steven Jones because he proved explosives, thermite in particular, took down the WTC buildings. Free Speech forever.

Apparently, but thankfully incorrectly, abc thought they could smear Ann Coulter one more time by bringing up her comment which was a direct reference to what Bill Maher said about the President. Many people do pay attention to politics and clearly many more understand Ann Coulters turnabout of language and name calling by Democrats and Socialists than abc wishes understood it. Funny thing is, John Edwards doesn’t seem to get it. Maybe it’s in the genes of ambulance chasers and the MSM.

That freedom can be really rough riding sometime… Especially when it’s Aug. and there’s not a whole lot of things to report on. Ann’s eventual demise will be a reason to celebrate to be sure, but while she’s here, and (for reasons I don’t know) has a platform, she must be tolerated. As must Bill Maher, O’Reilly, etc…
If they (via silly hate speech laws or censorship) can stifle someone, (or anyone) you might be next. The best thing is to ignore these people. They’re just show-biz types who really don’t know anything more than you or I.

Ann Coulter “flustered?” In your dreams. Is it possible that both Edwards and Obama are part of a Clintonoid plot to make Hillary look less sleazy and less stupid?

We voters in North Carolina would never have reelected Edwards to his Senate seat in 2004. Why in the world would anyone in any other state elect him to anything? Will one reporter ask Edwards this one question: “You are worth tens of millions of dollars. Why haven’t you started a company to employ the poor you claim to be so concerned about?”

ABC NEWS FLASH :
John Edwards comes out against “hateful language” by calling Ann Coulter “she-devil”

the difference between Ann and John is that Ann is an American..John is an not

To Davidholyfield: Thank you for your great post. How refreshing it is to see that there are still a few out there that have command of the English language! I guess all the educated liberal elite snobs are too busy winetasting or out driving their Priuses (sp?) to respond.

Let’s see, I am going to call you a “she-devil” and then preach about how we shouldn’t call names. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Gawd you libs are a laugh!

What do you expect? Klein works for the
Almost
Broadcasting
Company

Most of Edwards’ fundraising has come from Coulter, so no wonder he’s name dropping her. His wife’s ambushing of her, and then being unable to debate in the slightest (all she did was repeat “Just Stop, Just Stop, Just Stop” over and over) was just tragically stupid.

Just like ABC……only telling the part of the story they want you to hear.
And these folks wonder why fewer and fewer people are tuning in.

Who wrote this article? Answer: John Edward’s press hack. The truth is that “John I Sue Baby Doctors Edwards” had Chris Mathews set Coulter up and she was not flustered, who can ever answer a question on that his show? Elizabeth Edwards is a shill for the campaign. She uses her cancer like a sword, who would challenge her, after all she has cancer, shouldn’t she be able to say anything about anyone?

Ann Coulter is just a citizen, elected to no office by anyone, turn her off if you don’t like her, now what about the hate speech that comes from left wing ELECTED politians?

Seriously, politics aside, both sides of the aisle have to agree that John Edwards is just too wussy to ever be viewed as “presidential” by anyone serious about leadership roles. He’s starting to make Barney Frank look masculine. Ann needs MORE airtime so she can thoroughly cover: Nanci Pelossi, hillary, Obama-, and Sir Teddy. There’s so much material there that’ll keep busy until the election.

It’s all ok John. Go home to your 28,000 square foot mansion, get a $400 haircut, and tell the barber all about the two Americas while your investment company continues to foreclose on American’s homes. If you tip the barber big enough, he may even pretend to believe you are sincere.

Threatened?! This guy is a buffoon who you can always count on for some absurd, whiny, cry-baby, non-presidential sounding amusement! Keep him coming! I’m only sorry he won’t be around much longer in this race. I can see him now as president: Honey, tell Mr. Bin Laden to stop pickin’ on us, the citizens are yelling at me. Oh and are my milk and cookies ready yet?
This guy’s a hoot.

This headline brought a smile to my face. I sent John money after the incident on Hardball and I’ll be sending more because he called her a she-devil. Words cannot express the way I feel about her. At least not words that I would be comfortable writing in a public forum like this. Anyway, way to go John! I’ll be delighted and proud to call you my president some day.

Go Ann Go! I suggest that Fred Thompson go ahead and name her as his vice presidential running mate and “liven-up” the discourse. We need the extremes in political/ societal thinking to shake our sedated culture into the reality of this so-called “democratic” revolution…
So I say “Thompson/ Coulter ’08.”

The republican machine takes advantage Of people with conservative values. They secured their party’s vote and even bought a few democratic votes with $300 in tax breaks so that them and their cronies can make billions. If you look at their investment portfolios you will see that they are in the disaster business. Bush – The Carlyle group(they make tanks), Cheny – Haliburton, Rumsfeild – Tamilflu and even Jeb Bush had investments in those faulty pumps they brought to New Orleans. These are just a few conflicts of interest that should have prevented us from putting these people in power.

whatsssup?

more ridiculous, liberal spin speaking in half-truths about the comments made. you people will always be the losers in america.

Who is Edwards runn8ing against? Conservatives in the media or Senator Clinton and Barack Obama?
Such talk is silly. Coulter is a writer and columnist, when someone asks him about comments from Ann Coulter his response should be, “Ann who?”
Which is why Edwards can’t even hope for a VP spot in this election.

To CompMike: Alt. one could also say that Coulter is so desperate she is trying to throw manure on the Edwards family. They will be here long after she is just a bleep as a distant reminder of fundamental conservative fanaticism.

Forget Edwards for a moment. What is incredible to me is to read the amount of sick hate that is apparent in the Coulter supporters. These are people who obviously have nothing more to do than sit in front of the tube watching O’liely, Gibson and the rest of the liars and hate-mongers. It is truely sad. These are people that pray to the swift boaters, believe all the Fox propoganda and honestly thing the country is fine with Bush/Chaney.

ABC NEWS!!!!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!!!?????????
How can you possibly call this un-biased reporting!!!!!!!!!!?????? Don’t you guys have editors?????????
If ANY of you people reading this story ever doubted that there is a liberal bias to the major medias,here’s the proof.
Now look up the real story or are you afraid that you’ll see that you’ve been WRONG all this time.

It doesn’t matter what Ann said. It matters that a presidential candidate is name-calling. Ann is still a private citizen whether you agree with her or not. That automatically disqualifies him in my book. What if Uncle Tom in Iran or Chavez calls him the devil in a speech and he is the president of the United States (I shudder to think). Is he going to get mad and throw a tantrum and start name-calling and maybe take it personally? Come on, you can’t have that type of immaturity in the white house.

Poor John Edwards calls a columnist a She Devil then complains about the level of discourse in Politics.
And No, I am not complaining about what John called Ann. Go ahead drop the level of discourse down to silly name calling about someone you are not even running against. I just thought that a trial lawyer/ former Senator could stand up for himself without resorting to school boy tactics or having his momma do his dirty work.

The general public is well aware what this slimeball (Edwards) is like. His gig is up and the polls show it. Amercans can smell a rat. The libs can no longer hide their true colors. They are border line communist that want all the power along with your hard earned money. Don’t let them do this and ruin our country.

Great to hear that one of the candidates has the courage to go head-on against the OpEd conservatives who have created a “media jihad” against liberalism and political and economic fairness.

“Thompson-Coulter 2008″

I say Ann would take Johnny in round 3. I always wondered what happened to the guy from 3′s Company – I didn’t know he was running for president.

Ann Coulter makes money off of bashing liberals; And the Edwards campaign making money off Ann Coulter. Certainly a situation of the pot calling the kettle black.
Coulter’s just goofy stupid.

Taking Ann out of context, hmm. Lets see. Last week, on a Tuesday, Charlie Gibson said “We”, then later on in his broadcast he used the term “killed”. Then the next morning Diane Sawyer said — don’t dispute me, because I heard her say “Kennedy.” Oh my God!!!! ABC news killed Kennedy? Oh, my God!!
ABC news clearly said, “We killed Kennedy.” You savages!! Which Kennedy? Stay tuned, maybe Charlie will say JOhn, or Bobby or Joe and we’ll know.”

I was recovering from surgery,
and I really just happened to
watch the Chris Mathews
show. Would someone
tell me how the cameras just
“happened” to be on Elizabeth
Edwards.
After being ambushed by the
Mathews gang I can assure
everyone that Ann Coulter was
far from flustered. I thought she
handled the situation very well.
Can you imagine having John Edwards as
Commander and Chief?

For John 9:06:05 — You referenced “hate-filled,” a phrase I used in my most recent post. You may want to read or listen to AC a bit more objectively. PS: Edwards is not my choice. Gov. Richardson has the experience and qualifications to make him the best choice — but he lacks charisma. Who did W send to North Korea recently to negotiate? Not a Republican — but rather Governor Richardson.

Anyone find it funny that it is only hate speach when it is a thought that they don’t agree with. Ann Coulter is one of the smartest women of our current time and should be an example four young girls around the country.

the republican’s couldn’t be so lucky as to have Edwards nominated. He may be the only chance for the republicans to win…

Attacking Coulter is just a poor attempt for cover from the fall out from his employment and investments in a “predatory lender.”

Preciously why I don’t get my news from ABC, NBC or CBS. What once were great news institutions that reported news as it actually was (well, most of the time) now are shameful, deceitful with their own ideology that report the news as THEY want to report it. How sad.

I wonder if this BLOG did address Bill Maher’s comments when Bill made them on HBO? I doubt it, but Ann C. is news and Bill Maher is not…I guess that is how it all shakes out at ABC these days…just wondering…
John

I can’t believe how negative people are toward John Edwards and his campaign. He may not be the perfect candidate, but to paint him as the anti-christ when Coulter is clearly the one who is off her meds is ridiculous.
All this whining and moaning about “liberal bias” and “context” is laughable as well. Take a pill people!

Anyone who blinks that many times per minute can’t be trusted. It was really sad and desperate to use Elizabeth’s cancer

I do not agree with how Ann Coulter makes her points, but she does have valid points to make. Most people only know Ann Coulter from what somebody else says about her. Get her books from the library (so you do not have to buy them)and see from her own words (in cintext) what she believes. I was surprised when I did and learned a lot of information that propaganda news organizations and web sites were not telling us. I checked her resources and was amazed at how the facts are so easy to find, but people do not want to be bothered by the facts.

Most Conservatives are nothing but hypocrites anyway. They attack, attack, attack, then when they get called out they play it off as they are the victims. Coulter is a two faced attack dog, The Bush’s not only invented the attack they perfected it. I say Edwards should keep it up because when ever he goes after these low lifes on the Right their true colors come out.

Those claiming Coulter’s “freedom of speech” is being impinged are either engaging in or, stupidly, falling for one of the fascist regime’s most successful propaganda moves.
Someone’s freedoms are only restricted when it’s done by someone who has power over the victim _ for example, government authorities or an employer. The media have no power over Coulter _ their criticism are the only reason she makes a living. She’s far more famous than Bill Maher, and that’s why she gets more publicity. If not for the “liberal media,” she’d be working at Wal-Mart, where she belongs.
The mainstream media are hardly “liberal.” Whenever they report anything negative about the fascist regime, it’s attacked as “liberal,” when the only bias it has a bias toward humanity. One doesn’t try to use “balance” when dealing with subjects like child molesters. It’s revolting to see Americans calling it a “bias” when media express outrage at the fascists’ behavior. You contribute nothing to society. You’ve done your best to destroy our country. Go back to Alabama and secede _ real Americans won’t miss you.

Love John Edwards or hate John Edwards, love Ann Coulter or hate Ann Coulter, I think we all can agree that John Edwards has much prettier hair.
Can’t we all just get along?

Edwards is just another Elite Liberal who NEVER worked for a living, a lawyer like Hillary who sues those who keep our society healthy and provide the products that improve our standard of living. He’s another who wants to live in a mansion and fly in jets while you stand in line for toilet paper and then tell you how greedy you are when you object to being taxed into submission. Same as Kerry who married the woman who married into the Heinz BILLIONS. MSNBC and it’s pathetic lineup of wannabe journalists are nothing but liberal propaganda machines trying to insure their own monopoly on the news by getting the commies elected so they can reinstate the “Fairness Doctrine” and silence the Americans who love individual freedom and free enterprise. Forget “All the news that’s fit to invent” Watch FOX NEWS, read the Washington Times and listen to Rush if you want to know what’s really going on. The Democrats are more afraid of tax cuts than terrorists because tax cuts limit their ability to continue the communist redistribution of wealth.

Alot of responses on the right bring up legitimate arguements about bias of this article and how it is taken out of context. Funny how all the left wing nuts in here can say is that Coulter is a “meanie”. The complaints about Coulter are drawn with a broad brush. I challenge any liberal to name ANYTHING that Coulter has said that was “vile” without taking it out of the satirical context it was originally meant to be stated in…..yeah I though so….you can’t.

This article is so full of lefty bias, mischaracterizations, and downright lies that it is disgusting to anyone who knows the facts.

I think any one who attacks people for spelling is pathetic. Next i went to a true NYC Liberal school where feelings about people trump learning. Bottom line and my last post, Keep it up Libs you are making 08 so easy for the Right.

Edwards is just another pretty boy looking to cash in on the American pay off system … ohh I mean bribery .. uhh I mean lobbyist

The comment: “Ann Coulter is extremely mild when compared to what you find on the Daily Kos, Democrats.com, and other far-left hate sites. She’s essentially the conservative version of Molly Ivins, only more attractive and intelligent.” needs to ahve one more thing… Coulter is not at room temperature like Ivins either.

Nobody’s yet mentioned the role of MSNBC in the hit job on Ann. “Hardball” is not a call-in show. THEY DON’T TAKE CALLS. How does someone, even a prominent politician’s wife, get the phone number of a show that doesn’t take calls? She doesn’t. The MSNBC producers CALL HER when they know they’ve booked Ann as a guest. It was an ambush all the way. Ann was not told that EE was on the phone until just before they went on the air. MSNBC and Chris Matthews set her up to try to humiliate her, and no respectable journalist could omit that little detail of the story.

Apparently John didn’t read the memo from Elizabeth about no more name calling…or is this yet ANOTHER Edwards double-standard?

Why don’t I ever heard about the LEFT WING MEDIA? or the Exterme LEFT WING of Congress? Why isn’t Ted kennedy and Babbara Boxer introduced as: the two extreme LEFT WING? Why isn’t Bernie Sanders called a socialist? Could there real be a bias in the reporting?

Those of you that continually insist the media is LIBERALLY biased because of incidents like this are wearing blinders. If the traditional media were truly biased to the left there would be THOUSANDS of articles and stories about the unmitigated disaster wrought upon this country by Bush and the neo-con elite. How many of you still think Saddam attacked us on 9/11? The RIGHT-WING media is resonsible for the 50% who think he did. Fearmongers and liars, all.

I doubt if anyone is more influential at turning people liberal than Ann Coulter. Wave her high and proud, right-wingers!

Suggesting that Rush Limbaugh would attack anyone personnaly, shows just how out of touch the Liberals really are. Anyone who listens to Rush on a regular basis knows that all he does is play back the liberals own words to illustrate how absurd they really are becoming. He demonstrates on a daily basis how the “drive by media” is self destructing.

Ann coulter is a hateful person, that is protected by the GOP. She has and says nothing worth hearing.
She has willfully broken the voting law in Florida, yet remains unpunished.
We all have to answer for what we say and what we do on this earth.
I would not want to be Ann Coulter when the time comes.

“The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered”
Hardly, she wasn’t flustered at all. She laughed at Mrs. Edwards hypocrasy the entire time.

Edwards has to remind us that his wife stood up to someone. Well, guess his
wife has the guts to stand up to someone
and he does not. Perhaps his wife needs
to be running for prez since he is just a head of hair!

Coulter sure knows how to get the pinks into a lather. Edwards is a trial lawyer, where the main job skill is to check you ethics at the door.
He does have nice hair.

After reading all these comments, why is it that when libs read any opinion different than theirs it’s considered “hatred”. No…. it’s considered free thought and speech.

It doesnt matter what Ann says she is not running for office nor is she in a office.John is just trying to get more money out of the far left.

ann is right.

Limbaugh had lost me as a listener years ago because of his ego. However, Since he is now under constant attack from the braindead liberals. I am in complete support of him. Ann Coulter is correct, in everything she has said. What liberals really cannot handle is Coulter and Limbaugh using thier own words, so effectively, against them. Stewart ( the comedic shill for liberal causes anywhere) wishes Cheney dead and it’s funny. Ann uses does the equivalent and it’s “just awful” Of course, all this is reported by the “unbiased media” who boo a state of the union address.

Rick Klein:
That prompted Edwards’ wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC’s “Hardball” and challenge Coulter directly.
This is simply untrue. The Elizabeth Edwards ambush was planned in advance.
And Coulter did not look flustered to me. Klein must have high regard for Coulter’s ability to stay cool under pressure if he truly thinks she was flustered.
This is the best ABC News can do in recruiting reporters?

Hey nvmo, spoken like a true lib. Nothing positive to say about Edwards so you have to smear Ann. That’s the liberal way. If you don’t have anything positive about your guy…. Attack, attack, attack.

I am not here to defend Ann Coulter, all I am saying is that we need to dig for the facts FROM THE SOURCE because most newpeople are propagandists. Example, how many times do we hear people screaming McCarthism, when in fact the CIA released documents in 1996 proving that everyone he accused of being communist spies was true. His problem was that he knew that the CIA had tapped the Soviet communication cable under the Atlantic and were intercepting transmissions, but he could not reveal where he got his information for fear of compromising the source of the data. Even a Presidential staff member was a Soviet spy, but the President did not know it and the CIA was afraid of telling him because they thought he might give away how they knew. The media, except for a few conservative organizations, totally ignored what was probably the biggest news of espionage in 30 years. Given how the New York Times, and liberal congressmen, have outed government secrets, it is no wonder that this White House will not give up anytihng without a fight.

“Freedom of speech isn’t working out so well for liberals now that they aren’t the only ones with a microphone. It’s not so much fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.” — Ann Coulter

This must be a planted comment by a lefty, since every conservative, traditional, tax-paying, family-minded person I know identifies with her and for a so called conservative to write the above and dismiss her her main philosophy, albeit advanced sardonically, is deceitful.

When did all you conservatives become such crybabies? If you’re going to dish it out, you really should learn to take it as well. Boo-hoo.

Edwards the lowest form of life among politicians is one who uses his wifes life threatening illness to score points and more face time. How about telling us about those millions you have in wealth and yet talk about the evil wealthy, are you going to give up all of your wealth and live in a one bedroom apartment like you expect everyone else to do.

Bubba, We don’t a new declaration of independence, we just need to enforce the Constitution, and if force is needed then so be it.

Just read in the news Edwards sold his stock ($29 mil) in the sub prime mortgage co.s and had the gall to say he ‘couldn’t stand making money off companys that makes money off of people loosing their homes in foreclosure’.
Of course he failed to say he was doing it AFTER he profited highly!

If you watch or read the old media you should expect this kind of reporting.It will be gone soon enough.Edwards must be desperate , he’s not hiding behind his wife to start a cat fight.

North Carolinians cannot stand John Edwards and all that he represents: super-rich personal injury ambulance-chaser lawyer with a 28,000 square ft. house (the largest in the whole county). He is a sick hypocrit of the worst kind, and his wife is his mommy.

Evidently, the left wing posters feel as though ABC is left wing. I agree with you completely.

Wait a minute, SHE-DEVIL? What man says that? I think Coulter had The Breck Girl pegged from the get.
And Tom, people like you are why planes and buildings go down. Wake up.

Dear Friends & Neighbors,
Once you are branded the “Breck Girl” by the NY Times, it’s all over but
the crying & the gnashing of teeth. Sen.
Edwards doesn’t have a Prayer in getting
nominated. GLW Erie,PA>

ann coulter makes my stomach hurt I don’t see anything good coming out of the way she acts but i guess american politics is a dirty game….but really she does make my stomach hurt

It’s truly alarming that an unabashed ambulance chaser like Edwards even has a small group of undead zombies who try and come to his rescue.

Honestly this story is pathetic. What is he going to do if Iran threatens us with another attack, sick his Mommy on them. Anybody who supports this guy needs to check his manhood. He makes Hillary look masculine.

Notice that Coulter has dissappeared

“We know these people. We know their game plan. They’re going to attack us personally,” Edwards said.
Lessee.. calling Republicans “evil” and calling Bush “Hitler” (among many other names) aren’t personal attacks? Just gotta shake my head when I see that being said.

To all you guys defending Ann. I would not worry about Edwards ever getting on the ballot. He does not stand a chance.

Folks, I have been a conservative for 50 years but this Coulter chick is bad news for everyone. I see no point in being mean spirited and rude.

“Ann Coulter is extremely mild when compared to what you find on the Daily Kos, Democrats.com, and other far-left hate sites. She’s essentially the conservative version of Molly Ivins, only more attractive and intelligent.”

Maturity stopped at the 6th grade for this pack of wolves.

How does anything Ann Coulter says really matter? John Edwards, on the other hand, is your basic poofy-haired empty suit who litigated his way into the good life and thinks that somehow qualifies him to be president. That some of you take him seriously says a lot more about you than it does about him. No matter, he’ll be gone from the national scene soon enough.

The hypocrisy of the far right knows no bounds. Ad hominem attacks are fine, as long as you’re not on the receiving end. Government give-aways are no good, unless they’re going to those who supported you in the last campaign. Military service? — for your son or daughter, not for Mitt’s or mine. Affirmative action? — against it, but it’s okay to put an unqualified black man on the high court. Gay marriage? Nay, but closeted gay sex remains a popular Republican past time.

Nice job Buy Danish, she has also written, as you know, five NYT bestsellers that the libs love to hate but for some odd reason never read. They never did get a good grasp on that judging of books by covers thing. It’s good to let these people know what an academic they’re dealing with. I can’t tell you haw many times I’ve heard people who barely got out of high school call President Bush (Yale undergrad, Harvard MBA) stupid. Books by covers…
Also, why do almost all the lefty comments contain misspellings and grammatical errors. I know we type fast and typos happen but most of these ain’t typos. Hmmmmmmmm.

MWB, you are terrified of someone whose books you’ve not read? You say “mean spirited,” but you say nothing of the ideas she writes of. You say Sean Hannity is a “substituting (sic) dangerous idiot on a personal crusade,” but say nothing of why.
Like so many other people here, the majority of whom are left of center, name calling substitutes for logic, and red herrings are thrown out as substance.
Ann Coulter and Bill Maher are provocative entertainers and commentators who are a product of the ignorance of the electorate, who mistake the circus sideshows and melodramas for real life issues. If people would stop looking for short sound bites and take the time to understand how local, state, and federal governments work, and what representative government really does, the general conversation would be raised a bit higher than “mean-spirited witch,” “dangerous idiot,” and “blood sucking leech.”
Most days it seems we’ve turned America into Oz, where the image of the wizard is far more to be valued than the worth of the (wo)man behind the curtain.

Hey…you want to really have a laugh. John Edwards website has some info on the evils of predatory lenders…which as the WSJ noted yesterday, John was a consultant for Fortress Investments which is involved in predatory lending. He is such a fool that his campaign is not smart enough to take this rant against predatory lenders off his website yet. The guy is nothing but a slick lawyer who made millions off of doctors and he somehow thinks this will work with the general public. It will not. John and Elizabeth, the king and queen of their own fantasy lands.

Socialist Edwards taking that quote out of text has fooled nobody. Everybody knows the comment was in response to Bill Maher wishing VP Cheney dead. Why doesn’t Edwards or the media go after the hateful leftwing comments who most often propogate these situations in the first place?

Coulter’s method to her poking, prodding, insulting, and shaming, is to get people to look at themselves. It’s remarkable how often the left-wing lacks self-reflection or is otherwise unwilling to deconstruct or stand behind what they say or do. Underneath her approach, even if it’s rudely calling someone “fat”, is merely an attempt to engender the smallest amount of self-awareness in those on the far left who never even consider that their agenda of social engineering intended to help might have the opposite effect. That is, they just might be wrong.

John is nothing but an idiot. He has nothing to bring to the table except name calling. He is such a loser.

John Edwards is a multimillionaire, earning his money as a slimy trial attorney and clearly he is power hungry. My guess is he is on the Democratic side of the coin because the demographic makeup of the Democratic voter is much more ignorant then Republican voters (fact). He views the dummy down Democratic electorate as a jury and therefore speaks in dramatic, emotional and twisted Clintonistic double speak. I believe however he now has genuienley earned himself a spot light in the Democratic party. True hypocrite.

The media continues to be an arm of the DNC, no wonder they have no credibility left nor any audience. What’s wrong with presenting the truth and letting the audience evaluate.

Ann’s comment about Edwards being a “faggot” was a dig at political correctness and the Isaiah Washington incident, who since he said that, had to go into so-called “sensitivity” training. That was her point in saying that. The other points she makes, e.g., the NJ women, is that they were using what happened to their husbands as a political platform and if they were in politics, they should be able to be challenged as the Dem’s do the Repub’s. Anne’s whole game is to tongue in cheek use the same tactics the Dem’s use, and look at the outrage it engenders. If only we on the conservative side could spout the same outrage. Then again, we don’t control any of the mainstream media. Fox is too kind to lambaste them, which I do give them credit for. They are definitely taking the high road.

Geez—I can’t believe all these Neo-cons TRYING to defend the likes of ANN COULTER!!! Good for them….adds more POWER to the advancement of all those who know her and point her, and those like her, out to be the vile, despicable, name-calling, divisive, useless, good-for-nothing scum that they CLEARLY are and that all TRUE Patriotic HONEST Americans KNOW THEM TO BE!! LOL@ those who think that defending that sort of neocon slummery will get them anywhere but OUT of the category of what REAL Americans want or will put up with–LOL!

Ann coulter and her ilk, are sick, twisted, hateful, and ignorant people. PERIOD!

Ann Coulter is much worse than a “she devil”. She is one of the most hateful, ill informed, and evil people I have ever seen. The media is very irresponsible for giving such an individual a public forum to put forth her hate and misinformation. I have notified all of the major networks that I will immediately change the channel if I see her face on their broadcast and I hope others will do likewise and stop this evil person from having a public forum.

New Dem slogan:
Waaaaaaaaah (2 year old crying), you guys are being mean to me by calling me out on my hypocrisy.
Just fill in the appropriate candidate…for that matter, any of their candidates…and it fits just fine. Mix in a little right-wing conspiracy and you’ve got the cocktail that lost them the last 2 elections. Keep using it Hillary!

John Edwards is TOOOOO much of a hypocrite for most americans…. So in other words, WAKE UP YOU DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!

did elizabeth approve of this message by johnny?

Current state Democrat party is a bunch of freaks and they should be ashamed of themselves….
JFK, FDR, and many others were democrat…..and many of them would agree with our curent state of affairs… People need to take a step back and look into history to see what the democrat party was before…

What a perfect ticket (Fire and Ice):
hillary and the Flamer

Maher didn’t say he wanted Cheney dead
Two things about the far right, firstly so much of what they say is out of context or just plain wrong. Secondly, they have been throwing dirt around like this for 20 years or more in the media, and don’t seem to be able to take it when Liberals fight back.

Bob, come on, man–that’s a bit over the top, ok? Well, lefties, how does it feel to finally get your comeuppance? You’ve ruled the media roost for 50 years, and now it’s all crashing down around you. You’re squealing like little piggies stuck under the fence, and I’m quite glad about that. You “people” (I use the term very loosely) can’t squeal loud enough for me. It’s music to my ears. Interesting, isn’t it, how NO ONE debating Ann has EVER won the argument at hand. I’ve certainly never seen it. Get used to it, because you will soon be buried under the Avalanche of Conservatism which is on it’s way. The gates of Liberal Hell cannot prevail against it.

“Will Edwards ask his wife to call al Queda and complain they are meanies?”
Only if Osama accepts collect calls.

To anyone reading these comments that are independent voters or maybe slightly right or left of center. I hope you notice the hateful language of the right wingers on this message board. I personally don’t think this kind of hatred should be the philosophy governing our great country. These people stopped maturing around 6th grade.

“Nevermind what you may think of Edwards… I can come up with a few other terms that describe Ann Coulter… all of which would be blocked here.”
A prime example of liberal thinking. Nevermind what YOU may think, it’s only what I think that’s important and if you don’t agree, you’re an evil and small minded conservative.
I’ll proudly think for myself, thank you very much.

He said, we know these people will attack us personally and then personally attacks Ann by calling her a she-devil. This guy is a worse candidate than Kerry and Bush combined. Next to the articulate Obama he makes Bush sound intelligent. He may have conned juries, but he ain’t gonna con enough voters. What a joke this twit is.

Well, I was going to blast you for intentionally taking Ann Coulter’s sarcastic remark out of context, but I see dozens of other informed citizens beat me to it. At least your readers are no longer blind to your blatant pro-Democrat bias. Ann Coulter simply points out the double standard imposed by news organizations like yours. And then you go and prove her point.

It doesn’t matter who wins the Rep. nomination. The best part of elections in the 21st century is watching how creative the Democrats will get in snatching yet another defeat from the jaws of victory. Go Howard Dean!!!

This is a fascinating window into a possible USA civil war II. I wonder how much more insight into “the late unpleasantness” we would have if 19th century media could capture back-and-forth like this?
Of course, history doesn’t repeat itself, so this evident fracturing of the national polity may not result in an actual degeneration into open conflict. But, it sure looks that way if people continue to talk past each other this way, and inflame their passions at the expense of their minds, and follow commentators and aspirants to office who ‘trip their triggers’ in this respect.

Ann Coulter is disgusting. We should be discussing medical care for Americans and securing our homeland instead of the divisive bickering that ” people ” like Ann Coulter inspire.

Yo! Watchu talkin’ about? Nuh uh Barry!

RE: Paul
You’re the only one trying to be funny and falling way short! Did you actually read what you wrote?
I will say that you are funny but not in a Ha Ha way…
Mommy’s calling!

Another classic story for those leftists that refuse to accept the leftward bias of the media. Top story on Yahoo Finance, from the AP, about a NC waitress praising the Dems for raising the min wage and how much that will help people like her. Except that wait staff are not paid min wage, they are exempt, so it will not affect her at all. The whole story is a set piece from the DNC, masquerading as news.

Hillary will drop out after the primaries, and Rudy will win the election. The Dems LIKE to THINK that Hillary can be President, but in their heart of hearts, they know it will never happen. For the good of the Party, she’ll bow out. Even though I’m not FOR Rudy, he’s going to win. He’s centrist enough for left, right and center to join in with him.

Can we can agree on one thing?
- the media sucks -
And they sucked when we needed them most, just prior to the biggest foreign policy blunder in American history.
More bread and circuses, everyone?

Who is ‘bickering’? Edwards supporters simply gotta believe. They gotta believe that someone who invested $16 million into Fortress Investments and was paid over $400K by them for part time work truly ‘didn’t know’ about their sub-prime business. And then .. they gotta believe that someone that stupid should be president. If you can’t believe those then the only alternative is that he’s a total lying fraud.

ABC, can you please fix your stupid “Post” button at the bottom of the blog? It’s on a bloody hair-trigger?

“duhhhh, Im stupid…”
that’s satire, folks. this thread is filled with hate and bile. you should all be ashamed.

A six year old came up with the perfect response concerning Edwards calling Ann a ‘She Devil’ – “It takes one to know one.”! BWHAHAHAHA!

Is Elizibeth singing? She must be…his campaign is over.

Why does ABC news distort Coulter’s quote by taking it out of context? Because ABC news is staffed by liberal partisans, of course!

Clinton/Edwards….a formidable foreign policy ticket….weekend shopping in Paris. She for pant suits, him for haut coutire dresses

Maybe Ted Haggard can come by and they can all have a prayer circle, discuss moral values a get a nice massage together.

RE: Jon
Agreed, add the internet into the bunch. We were all subject to the mainstream media back in the day because it was the only thing out there. What they said was the NEWS, the truth as they saw it. Enter the internet and of course talk radio..
Now we hear and read very different views on just about everything. The world as we knew it is much smaller. Now the fight today is who’s right! Three things that motivate adults today, Money, Sex, Power…

I didn’t know Ann personally knew Hilary!

Ann Coulter will reap what she sows.

As for Ann Coulter……
I am basically conservative…and NO I really dont approve of how she talks about people….
However, maybe she is just saying what most conservatives refuse to say and find objectionable.. So I do think she serves a purpose… Not sure if its good or if its bad.. Personally, I prefer not speaking of others in that fashion, especially for all to hear…
Either way, she is our only dirty speaking force while the democrats put out so much filth regarding republicans on a daily basis… So, whether I like her or not, I appreciate her being there.
Tim

As hate-monger Ann can’t be beat !

David Holyfield: Do you really believe that Harry Truman’s truth to power philosophy applies to Ann Coulter? Really? Think about that. Truman rose to fame in the Senate by heading the committee that looked into business fraud and waste during WWII. As a veteran himself, he wanted the GIs to have what the government ordered. To pick just one sample, Coulter opines that the 9/11 widows like being widows and that they flaunt it. That is untrue. She has never felt that kind of pain and, I hope, never will. To make that kind of statement is as unChristian as she can get. Truman and Coulter (and the rest of us) have our faults, but Coulter has gone over the edge so far, so often, as to lose all credibility. Go Ann??? Yeah, but where?

John Edward does not have the character or leadership ability to be President of the US. He should resume his “legal suits” against Medical malpractices.
Money does not make a president or a man.
To reducle female opposition is a serious characte flaw. How many other hateful idea does he possess?

Ever notice how liberals warmly
embrace diversity, except when it
comes to opinions!

RE: Jon
True, as long as you believe the very same way on the very same issues.
Be contra and watch out..

Come on you guys. How about getting off the politics for just a minute. Ann Coulter does not promote Positive solutions to anything. It’s not about Ann herself. She’s obviously a very intelligent woman. It’s that she brings hate and anger and personal attacks to every issue she discusses. Why would we defend that spirit or lack thereof, particularly in light of the current political milieu? Ann certainly has the right to speak out and some of us may agree with her positions. But as a public figure, doesn’t she have the responsibility to add to Positive Solutions to our country’s woes? A great boss I had once said, “Don’t come to me with a complaint or a problem without bringing a solution along with it.”

No wonder Bush was elected, twice no less!

You people are so unfair. John Edwards is a good loking man and he has great hair.

Paul!!!!!!!!!!! Now that’s perspective!!! Thanks for your list of the real issues!!! We needed that!!!!!!!!

ALL: Here’s an HONEST question. Can anybody on this blog for one minute imagine any of the current democratic candidates being able to defend our country against the likes of Iran, Russia, and or the current threat that is now being brought against the world? HONESSTLY?

Jim Again -
Yeah, I can see almost ANYONE doing a better job with foreign affairs than GW. Pee Wee Herman would have made a better President. GW doesnt understand diplomacy, nuance, compromise. He’s all pig-headed egotistical my-way-or-the-highway. He’d of had us at war with the USSR in 5 minutes. After half the world and a couple billion p[eople were dead, he’d gloriously proclaim “Mission Accomplished”. Gawd, 5 minutes? He wouldn;t have lasted 5 seocnds during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Edwards is the democratic candidate who really, really scares them. they will say or do anything to stop him.

Hey Paul…..
GW may suck in many ways…but he is the only president to have seen so much crap…aside from FDR….
Question to you……would you rather have Jimmy Carter in there? If it wasnt for him, we wouldnt have such a problem with Iran…. Remember, those people only believe in strength….and he played the girlie card…

Re: Sean B
It’s not fear, it’s pure comedy….

timtan -
Yeah, Carter would have done much better than GW.
But if you want to try aguing points 20 years old, I’m not interested, they aren’t pertinent today. (Ok, just this once… Carter encouraged the Jihadis because two helicopters colliding ruining his rescue effort? You’d of rather we went in with gun blazing and had most our people killed? How about Reagan’s response to 230+ marines being blown up in Beirut.We picked up and high-tailed it out of there. Was that ‘girlie’?)

The Conservatives think they’re so tough – the party of John Wayne. Please! Then why do they let their team mascot be thi emasculating…thing?

Let me explain something to the Hannitized bloggers on here: The media has a liberal bias because people in the media too the time to EDUCATE themselves. They are not running around reporting that the earth is only 5000 years old to appease a bunch of right wing nit wits.
Ann Coulter is simply a bottom feeding carnival barker making a buck screaming and throwing red meat to the slow thinkers.

Edwards for prez?
Isn’t this much ado about nothing?
Really – how many on the left will even vote for this man?

RONNIE….
You failed to tell Paul that Taxes will be raised…SIGNIFICANTLY….AND….we will fall into recession….
Dont you love an economy like the dems want to give us????

Edwards is a colossal charlatan from several angles. His resume is thin and his use of his wife’s illness and dead child’s tragic end loathesome. So he has lived in Iowa for almost a year & hopes to win there, while his native state of South Carolina will certainly reject him, just as Tennessee rejected Al Gore in the 2000 election. Palmetto Staters know the Edwards con-man template all too well.

Thankfully John Edwards is not going to start calling people names. He will take the high road, unlike the she-devil. Now thats just a fact, that’s not name calling.

Foolish me…I had no idea that Ann was seeking the Democratic nomination as President. Who knew?

You misquoted Ann Coulter. Not that I’m surprised.
The left throws objects at Ann Coulter trying to harm her. All because of her freedom of speech, the same freedom of speech the left uses when they talk about how they love Hugo Chavez.
If you’re a liberal – hypocrisy is thy name.

A Conservative calling a Liberal a hypocrite……you guys are the king of hypocrites…..

Hey folks…..
If you like Chavez……RAISE YOUR HANDS!!!!
Its funny how many of you think he is great… Even though many of his people think he is nuts..

timtan -
I agree with you, we need to get GW and his ilk out of office soon before all our rights are taken away.

I remember my dad, who brought a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart back from fighting in Pattons 3rd army, saying “we don’t start wars, we just end them”. Made me proud as a kid.
I can’t tell that to my children anymore.

I’m not a supporter of Edwards, but I do know how I feel about anyone defending Ann Coulter.
To anyone defending Ann Coulter… please do not publicly align yourself with the republican party. We have a reputation of being hate-mongers and our acceptance of Ann’s behavior only adds to that.

Bill Maher is a comedian, not a “news source.” Give it a rest you mouth breathers.

Ann Coulter, Flustered. Not in our lifetime.

Honestly, Edwards supporters, the reason Ann Coulter attacks him is because he is so attackable. I like rich people,I don’t hate them, but look how he did it.

HEY CRASSIOUS…..
My great uncle served in Pattons 3rd army and I am a very big fan of George Patton…..
Gen Patton was right about going into Russia when he wanted to…and he would have taken out half the worlds dictator had he had the chance…
Patton was a true American…..

Coulter supported please wear t-shirts showing your support, so I know to keep my children away from you.
Anyone defending her behavior in this post, is supporting hated. Name calling hate speach is not something most mature adults support.

Hey Ronnie….. AGREED!!!!!!

Areyoukidding…
That’s supporting your troops.

Ex-Repub…
jus’ curious – where’d you end up? As a Dem or Libertarian?

Edwards has heavy financial ties to Fortress Investment Group which is currently foreclosing on about 40 homes in New Orleans! I can’t wait to hear the spin on this one!!!

geez, a lot of typing there ronnie, of course, no content of value.

John Edwards visited MY hometown, and said WHAT about OUR ANN? Listen to me, Mr or Mrs or Ms Edwards, or whatever you have fashioned yourself into for the moment. Burlington Hawkeyes have more respect for the carnival barkers at Steamboat Days than phony trial lawyers like you. In fact, we love our carnival workers! In fact, I hereby humbly apologize to our beloved carnival workers for putting their good works in the same sentence as whatever it was you do for a living.

Well, I’m bored with the ignorant limbaugh parrots. Hope you’re enjoying dealing with the 70% of America that considers GW a huge failure. It is soothing to know that 50 years from now your great grand-children will come home from school one day and say to their mother “wow, mom, I just learned what a terrible President George Bush was”

johnny’s accountants created an “S” corporation with lil’ johnny-boy as the only employee.
that way johnny avoided paying the $600,000.00 that he legitimately owed the federal gov’t funded health care program
he wants you to pay but he won’t pay.
he is 1/a liar and 2/a professional tax cheat.

My only problem with the talented (and hot)Ann Coulter is that she isn’t a libera

What an unbiased reporter. Rick Klein must be on the Edwards payroll. I watched the Matthews show. Ann Coulter was obviously set up. She was flustered?? This jerk couldn’t report a 5 alarm fire.
They must think the entire country is stupid. As I see from the other comments it AIN’T working. I don’t think we have to worry about an ambulance chasing shylock being elected.

You have no solutions to any of our country’s problems because you HATE AMERICA!! I wish all of you “LIBS” would leave america and push your sick views on somebody else!!

Democrat woman are so ugly because they are so hateful!!!!!
And….they have just a terrible outlook on life….
Every noticed the woman driving an old Ford Escort stationwagon with a democrat sticker on her car???? They are about the most ugliest things Ive ever seen….

Still sounds like Edwards knows what he is doing, once you clear out all the emotional stuff on this thread- lots of opinion but little substance.

and that good ol’ joke about going into the restaurant where the prices were too high and they had to leave.
he bought that line from jimmy carter or jay leno.
this boy is not good on his feet.
elizabeth! help me!

The reason Maher’s comments got little to no media attention was because he never said ‘… it would be good if Vice President Cheney was killed in a trip to Afghanistan’. His comments came in the context of a discussion on his show about a comment that was posted by one of the readers of the Huffington Post. A comment that wished Cheney died in the attack. A comment that Arianna immediately took down because she didn’t want to be associated with the comment. What Maher said was ‘I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow’. It was an observation not a hateful death wish as the idiot wingers said it was to which the idiot wingers followers blindly repeated over and over again because they can’t think or find out the facts on their own. He further said ‘If he did die (in the attacks) more people would live’. Bill only quoted the comment on the HuffPo and also condemned it. So stop with your typical lies, wingers.
John Edwards can’t call Coulter a she-devil and then denounce her as having hate speech. Even though he is correct. He was being mild. She’s far worse than a she-devil. She’s lucky people only throw pies at her. I never condone violence towards anyone. Ever! Even if they are on par with reverend phelps. Which ann is on par or worse than phelps.

Funny.
The libs willing to vote for the Edwards seem to be a very small group indeed….
I think his supporters are unabashed ambulance chasing lawyers.
Agree/Disagree?

You’re tearing them up all by yourself , well done! (you’re probably like making lunch at the same time too). Not that baseless GOP talking-points are much of a challenge.

Ronnie,
Hey….I live in Florida and so far conservative people have been able to stave off the crazy democrats that want taxes everywhere you go….
I am so thankful we have another republican governor and totally miss Jeb Bush…. He was a great governor and Charlie is doing pretty good as well….
Anyway…I am hopefull we can keep them all out… If you go to the Miami area…..THEYRE NUTTY DEMS…
They even wanted to change the station they do the hurricane warnings on…just because they have the Rush Limbaugh show on it…
Now tell me how stupid that is!!!!!!!!!!!! These people are nuts!!!!!

Mix the comments on this thread with yard clippings and some water and you have enough manure to fertilize a good size garden for the entire season.

No green iz AZ? That is laughable, the whole northern half of the state is Pine Forest. Go visit Payson, or Prescott, Mogollon Rim country, the White Mountains, San Franciso Peaks… I’ll admit the 122 degrees in 1991 was a little rough.

WHO IS THIS JOHN EDWARDS GUY??

Edwards says ‘strong’ words about Ann Coulter…and both is supporters skip in circles and yell “Yay!”

There’s a huge difference between Maher and Coulter.
Maher trashes everyone, he’s ripped into the Clintons more than once. He states he is a comedian and IS sometimes funny.
Coulter claims to be a politcal commentator and makes her living off pitting one side of America against the other. She sticks to the GOP talking points without exception and makes mean, unfounded vitriolic statements just to gain attention. She’s like a leech living off the foment she can create amongst fellow Americans.

With this sentence…
“I am a mid-40′s Conservative computer engineer. So I have more education and knowledge than most of the liberal population that likes to pass itself off as “intelligent” while calling conservatives “stupid.” ”
…You’ve proven yourself unworthy of real debate.

How is Edwards attacking Coulter any LESS hateful than what he is railing against? Indeed, the liberal attacks on Bush have been nothing short of hate. Why no complaints about that Mr. Edwards? Oh, this is all about a political agenda and election sloganeering not to mention flat out propaganda spoon fed to the far left hate machine, I forgot that.

One of these people above me asked what qualifications Ann Coulter has aside from “being hate-filled,” or some nonsense like that. Hmm. Well, for starters, she attended and graduated a top law school. For another, she’s been writing weekly columns for years. And if you look at her books, and the amount of citations and source materials that she quotes, I don’t think you’ll argue that she is not an accomplished writer who THOROUGHLY researches when she goes to write her books.
She’s as bright as they come, and she’s studied the issues, and she’s not afraid to source her work. That seems like more in the way of qualifications than most journalists can claim.

This is why I will not buy a newspaper or watch the news on tv. leftist bleeding hearts. Get my news from WND.

I think that might have been the first honest thing Edwards has said. LOL.

Go Ann Coulter!!!!

Pathetic.MSM,DNC…what`s the differance? Thank God for Rush,Anne,Savage and all the truth tellers.

Ann does what she does to provoke responses. You fall for it. It is funny.
And America does not have a health care crisis.
We have a health quality (not the care you can receive, but how you take care of yourself) and health cost crisis.

You think Government is efficient?
I’ll be right back. I’m going to go pray for your soul and my sanity.

I think it was Ann that said 9/11 widows were having a great time.

Edwards is all about class envy, dividing the country, overtaxation, political correctness and hatred for Bush and all conservatives and anyone who opposes his “ideas.” He’s desperate for money and Ann brings out the money from the left-wing wackos.

Ann Coulter for President!! She says it like it is!!!

Don’t delude yourself. John Edwards won’t become President.

-If I remember correctly-, Maher considers himself a Libertarian… not a liberal or progressive. Which is why he trashes both sides.
Ann is on one side, and trashes the other. Wow?

The problem I have with the “right wing establishment” is that they bluff their way to the top. Take Iran for example. They just try to bluff them into submission. Guys, your bluffing doesn’t work. You begin to take on the appearance of cowards, you know.

I’ve found this story now linked to on not only Drudgereport, but 2 neocon blogs. The lunies are coming here in force. Well, as much force as they can muster, considering that 70% of America thinks that the Bush/Cheney/Rove slash-and-burn way of governing is a disaster.
Of course, 99% of that 70% have no interest in spending any of their Saturday arguing with angry brainwashed kids, but I am betting a lot of them will vote next year.
:)

Goldwater was a conservative… -for that time-. The definition of a political stance changes over time.
As for ideas:
1) A massive shift in government policy towards financial incentives for space, energy, education, defense, etc. Similar to the X Prize.
2) Health Care should be shifted towards Information on Cost Effectiveness, Choices / Competition, and Prevention and away from Government Bundling. HSAs, information technology, a national health care market, and so forth would be a big part of this.
3) The Safety Net should be transformed into a Wealth Creation System… not a Government Enrichment Scheme. Health Savings Accounts, Personal Social Security Accounts, etc. This would reduce debt, the cost of taxes, improve retirement, increase growth, etc.
4) Education should move to school choice and charter schools, financial incentives for success, an intense focus on math / science / engineering / etc. It wouldn’t focus on improvements to a set standard like No Child, but instead would only provide information on the past performance of the school and the current performance of that school… as well as comparing that performance to the performance of other local schools, the state average, neighboring state averages, and the national average…
5) Um… a secure border and spread-out immigration (meaning we aren’t radically changing the make-up of the country in one generation!).
6) Limit the size of the governments budget relative to the size of the economy, % wise… dramatically changed tax system (FairTax or Flat Tax). Make it a constitutional responsibility to have a balanced budget (most of the time, anyways: wars, a crisis, etc, would be special circumstances… for a limited time).
7) Florida has something that lets their People speak directly to the government via the Internet, and lets them voice support for ideas constantly… we need this nationally. I can’t remember the website address…
OK, I’m tired of doing this post.

Hillary’s cleavage and Edward’s hair and Obama is black! That is the platform the Republicans are running on because all of their candidates stink! Get ready to lose the white house in ’08 cons.

I’m amazed that people actually like Ann Coulter. Statements like she will be here long after Edwards is a footnote in history are laughable and horrific. She is a party-parroting extremist, who is incapable of dialoging in any logical or meaningful way. Her debating techniques are always predicated upon the lowest common denominator by employing juvenile tactics such as name-calling. Our country would be infinitely better off if people would stop blindly following political parties and start thinking for themselves.

RQ, Conservatives aren’t for that. The appointed leaders of the movement decided to jump ship and shot the movement in the foot with the budget, etc.
Conservative grassroots aren’t for that (and are furious about it)… liberal grassroots are.

I’m glad they are using this as a fundraiser because it looks like John needs another haircut.

My prediction is:
GW will be remembered 50 years from now not for 9/11, nor OBL, or even Iraq. Students will discuss his terms in office as the biggest Constitutional crisis in US histiry. Where a power-hungry president used a natioanl catastrophy to abridge the Constitution, to dominate the other branches of government, to politicize all aspects of our government, infringe upon our civil rights, break international law, to enact levels of government secrecy, and levels of government propaganda never before seen, etc etc etc

JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck, I gave ronnie my ‘fixes’ an hour ago. He didn’t have much to say.
How many ways to clean up George’s messes do you require?
You should have written mine down…

To comment on this particular story outside of the context of Ms. Coulter’s unprovoked attack of Sen. Edwards as a “faggot” and a man who has used the death of his son as a politcal haymaker is error. I could not have stopped at “she-devil” and I would not have so quickly recoiled from “name calling” as did the candidate.

ronnielong -
So, a bunch of quotes, over a number of years showing many opinions that Saddam had WMD’s.
1. At the time GW chose to start this war, UN inspectors were back in, they were reporting nothing dire, their numbers were about to be tripled, and we were conducting around-the-clock overflights of his country.
2. (I love this one) I’m not seeing certain words in ANY of those quotes… Can you find me the word “invade” or “occupy” in one of them? No one was nutso enough to think conquering then moving into Iraq was a good idea except GW and his cronies.

Blah blah, spacecadet. Let’s just behave and wait til ’08, k? Take a pill.

Yeah good point above. How come Muslim leaders in America (or anywhere else) never come out and decry the violence? How come we’ve never heard them say Islam is a peaceful religion? Could it be that they are more honest about what they really are?????????

I still wonder what happened to the Democratic Party. Lincoln would not be a Democrat today. Maybe he would have in the 1950s or 1960s when Democrats were the party of working men and women, organized labor, conservative family values, strong defense policies, etc. Now the Democratic Party is the Gay and Abortion Rights Party and anything else pales in comparison. It is a shame. I grew up a Democrat and can’t stand what comes out of the candidates mouths now. Who is still the most popular Democrat? A perjurer who commited offensive sex acts. Culture of Corruption? If you have the right views in the Democratic Party, you are forgiven any illegal act (Studds, Jefferson, Clinton, Berger, Reid, the list goes on and on). Are there Republican crooks? Sure there are. ALL the crooks should be thrown out, not just one party. I don’t care what the news hacks say. I don’t pay their salary. I want the elected politicians to stop calling names, fix things, and finally earn their paycheck like the rest of us are required to do.

as usual, the Republicans make sense, make pithy comments and tease the Dems to no end. Nah, Nah
LMAO

The only thing I dislike more than blogs are comments to blogs showing how ignorant the masses are.

yeah .. I am pretty sure that Lincoln was a Republican. Invest in fact checkers ;)

John Edwards is a joke. The liberal media took Coulter’s comments completely out of context by deliberately leaving out the fact that she was asked about Bill Maher’s wishing Cheney dead (which was also conveniently not covered by the mainstream media). This is a joke and a desperate attempt by the dead Edwards campaign to try to raise money. It’s pathetic.

Ronnie,
You’d have to work pretty hard to convince me that the Republicans want the government out of our lives. Apparently you haven’t been paying much attention to the republicans lately. The Dems are just weak and ineffective politically. So they don’t scare me so bad. But the Republicans, they are all in your private life and stripping the constitution down to nothing.
As for a strong military, we spend more on the military than every other country on Earth COMBINED. Yet it doesn’t help against the Islamists. The Islamists can fight us for pennies for every million we spend. The real solution in Iraq, in my opinion, is to let the Shiite militias and Sunni militias finish off al qaeda in Iraq – it would take about 30 days if we got out of their way. After that, let the Iraqis practice self determinations. And let every other country practice self determination. We should get our troops out of every single foreign country. How has it helped us to have troops deployed outside of the US. It has caused nothing but trouble since WWII. We could use the money we save on the deployments to start a Manhattan alternative energy project and be completely finished interacting with the middle east. Let them solve their own problems. Meanwhile, we can work on our own. Al Qaeda is NOT a grave danger to us. And they would be less of a danger if we were not all over the middle east. They don’t mess with Sweden or Switzerland, do they? Because the Swedes and Swiss mind their own business and don’t get all tangled up in the affairs of other countries.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m enjoying all this. There is a lot of cutting wit and sarcasm, but I’m hearing each person’s point as well. This beats TV.

Skysoldier,
I am no fan of democrats either. Both parties are full of it! But when it comes to divisiveness and making enemies of you countrymen, the right-wing media is hard to beat. They are a hateful bunch and don’t really help make anything good happen. As for the election, I was just saying that depending on how you play the numbers game, an additional 60,000 votes in the right places and you have a veto-proof senate. Rove was fond of playing the numbers game to make it look like the Republicans didn’t lose badly in 2004. But it was smoke and mirrors and those who know how to evaluate Rove’s claims know that he is often full of poop.

Edwards was railing against the right-wing media — including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh…
That’s akin to stating “all the atom bombs the US dropped on Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
Skunk liberal media.

Wow. I haven’t found such a group of reactionary neo-cons in one place in a long time. Guess what? Your boys blew it and now America is looking for competence and leadership, not the frat boy antics we’ve suffered.
By the way, John Edwards characterization is right on. And that’s my view, and many others, from the rural West of Wyoming. We’re stupid, but not that stupid out here.

John’s reason for this outburst? I guess his campaign funds are running low
from buying carbon credits for those tangerine trucks bound for NC.

Hey Liberal Media,
If conservatives are the equivelant of Islamofacists, then are liberals equal to A. Karl Marx B. V.I. Lenin C. Josef Stalin or D. All of the above?

Hagel? I have a lot of respect for that man. More than anyone related to GW.
He’s not a Republican why?
Because he thinks the war’s is a disaster? Because he’ll put country above (what’s left of his) party?
It’s an odd and corrupted definition you have of what a Republican is.

OK, for all you die hard denier liberals, who refuse to accept that the MSM is liberal, how would you characterize the following media figures: Couric (cried when Bush was elected), Rather (on a vendetta from Nixon to Bush), Jennings, Brokaw, the list goes on. Name ONE that is identifiable as a Republican. Even on FOX, the majority of the reporters are democrats. So, the MSM is almost exclusively Democrats, but NOT biased, right? Sure!

JJ,
All of the media are responsible for protecting the people from the government. The media, as the fourth estate, has a constitutional responsibility to investigate all government activities and keep the electorate informed about all government activities.

GMN -
You’re a hoot… GW and his pack have conducted the most thorough, consistant and multi-proged attack on our Constitution in US hostory. THAT is what will be most remembered and discussed about his presidency.

retrometa -
“time of war”?
Jingoistic BS…
Cogress hasn’t declared war.
What nation we fighting?
When’s your ‘war’ end?
Is it the ‘war on crime’ or ‘war on drugs’? It lasts forever?
Pseudo-patriotic slogans like that are crap. Joseph Goebbels would have been proud of the idea (ROves?) to call it the “Patriot ACT” who can vote against that, eh? Even though it robs of us of freedoms.
The strutting chimp in office presently is the last thing I’d ever respect with the title of “War President”

Yes, I’m sure that’s the way you twisted lefties would like to remember it. But then, whenever challenged for evidence of these “attacks” on the Constitution, you can’t come up with a single, legitimate example.
But I’ll be waiting for you to provide one.

GMN -
Here ya go…
1. American citizens thrown into dark holes for years with no charges, no lawyers.
2. Unprecedented domination of the other two branches of govt by the executive branch.
3. Politicizing all areas and organizations within the gov’t.
4, Using signing statements to disregard laws passed by congress.
5. Breaking laws then pressuring congress to amend the laws to make their activities legal after the fact.
6. Enacting a level of secrecy never before seen.
7. Engaging in mass spying and data collection of US citizens.
The first one alone should have had us all in an uproar.

Doesn’t John Edwards know that with this comment we are going to have to now hear more stupid crap from that idiot Coulter. They both just need to shut up. The only difference between the two is at least John Edwards is ok looking (even though I don’t like him particularly). Ann Coulter is so ugly that she is a two bagger. You have to put a bag over her head and your head in case her bag falls off.

spacecadet -
Try to grasp this one: Iraq is not the ‘war on terror’.
You say “I don’t believe that all democrats are bad and conservatives good.”
Here’s another tough concept: A lot of Dems are conservatives.
And, the Dems you named aren’t responsible for 3500 American deaths and 10′s of thousands of Iraqis, GW gets that distinction. They also aren’t traitors for wanting to get out of GW’s 100-men/10-billion-dollar a month catastrophe.
Tokyo Rose? Geez, that’s a comparison devoid of logic.

Edwards is a less than laughable joke! The frightening thing is he and his wife are delusional enough to believe they can speak for the poor in America.

Scottked -
“Elitism is a frame of mind. As an elitist, there are those unwashed masses who are too stupid to help themselves (aka JE and the libs). ”
Geez, dude… visions of grandeur huh?
They have drugs for that.

Ann Coulter is mentally ill. She is in constant need to “shock” the public with her ridiculous rantings. John Edwards came up with the perfect description of Coulter, “she-devil.”
Everything Edwards says is true, just, and correct. He has my vote. And he will win.

Donald Segal -
You’re in an uproar that Hillary might trim Big Oil’s enormous ungodly profits? Profits subsidized by us? HGell, they pay half the taxes they did in the 60′s. You part of the Bush family or something?

This from a guy who made more money than most of us can imagine working for Fortress….a company dealing in sub-prime mortgages sticking it to the people in
New Orleans who couldn’t make their payments. But then again…one must be able to afford those expensive haircuts to run for president today. If he couldn’t make the bucks working for a sub-prime mortgage company, he would have to return to suing doctors again.

From what I have heard from both sides, I think that both had ought to learn a lesson. They should be fined by the FCC. Is verbal assault against the law? If so, they should get in trouble with that. This is outrageous that Coulter and the Edwards would be so childish to throw temper tantrums. The acts of both sides involved only make both unappealing.

Grammie -
Pretty weak logic, but a good link.
First you posted her commenting on what she had said, not what she had actually said. And you wan to play some sort of semantics by saying that Coulter saying “I cant talk about John Edwards because I’d have to check into rehab for using the word faggot” isn’t calling his a faggot?
Your logic sucks, but as I said, that link is good, it calls Coulter dishonest 2 or 3 times and gives example.

Our servicemen aren’t resposible for where, or what situation, the cowards commanding them have placed them. I have complete respect for the members of our armed forces. It’s just unfortunate GW sent so many to die in a voluntary and enormously costly lose-lose conflict.
Yeah, there are always a few bad apples, but that is the case in any field/profession.

Uh oh, must be getting close to 2008 if this loser is being so noisy all of a sudden.

The right has reached its peak and is now waning. People like Coulter only add to the rididcule of the United States in the eyes of our foreign neighbors. Be prepared the right will be getting more desparate and will be using a lot of fear, religious and extremist tactics to revitalize their base as the count down to the 2008 presidency comes closer. I wonder what statistics are out there regarding just how many criminals were born out of this last presidency. You can count on double or triple were not caught. How quickly they forget Rush is a drug addict.

You’re out of your league, Jill.
(they’re about 3 levels below you)

Jill, it’s the liberals leading the retreat, calling this a lost cause, and eager to give up. Even while the positive reports are flowing in from Iraq.
You can’t win a war if you run away.
That’s how you lose, remember?

MikeP, with the way you talk, people might confuse you with another Democrat running for president.
Careful, there.

None of this matters, Bush has all but destroyed his party. The Dems walk in next year

Some people are obviously upset the Dems will soon have the white house and congress.

John Edwards says “We know these people” and we, the people, know that he is one of the biggest phonies ever to seek the Presidency. Living in his America ( the 20,000 square foot mansion,the 400 dollar haircuts, working for a hedge fund that forecloses on the poor while raging against predatory lending practices, charging 50,000 to give a speech on poverty, accepting money from Rupert Murdoch subsidiaries while challenging others to refuse donations , hiding behind his wife when criticised by others, speaking out against Walmart while asking aides to buy his children toys from the same store) while asking his supporters in the poor America to finance his vanity-ridden campaign.

I can see it now… another GOP bashing in ’08… and they’ll still want to talk about Clinton.

How bout we talk about something important, a current issue!
One of you wackjobs tell me all the good we’ve gotten out of GW’s adventure into Iraq, then I’ll go over all the costs? Sound fun?

LOVE ANN COULTER—-A GREAT AMERICAN

Ann Coulter should pay John Edwards for all the free publicity he is giving her just ahead of her new book release. She should, but I hope she does not. That phoney already has too much money thanks to his “Ambulance Chasing” days and now he wants to become respectible in the eyes of society by calling a tax paying American citizen “She-Devil”? NEWS FOR YOU JOHN: IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

Who is this loser?

Worse thing to happen to the Republican party since, well, GWB…

FairTax? Is….. that another name for consumption tax?
Is this another Orwell naming thing like “Patriot Act” or “Clear Skies Initiative”?
Do tell…

There appears to be a pattern working in D.C….
Patreaus is calling for troop withdrawl next year. Not in agreement with any Dem/Lib yelling that we’ve lost the war anyway. He says we won’t need them, because the efforts there are succeeding.
And Rove is leaving, not because Congress could find any fault in his work, but because he now wants to spend more time with his family.
The pattern seems to be, that what the Dems want is coming to fruition, but not because of them. It’s happening in spite of them.

Twinkie, you are you own worst enemy.
You sound like you haven’t read any of Ann’s books, while discounting her altogether and calling her names.
If you read her books, you’d see she’s very smart, articulate, and she backs up nearly everything she states.
Maybe you should have grabbed he Cliff’s notes before posting.

I’m always surprised by those defending her as I think Coulter has hurt the Republican party immeasurable with her hate-mongering. Seriously, if the elephants are indeed trying to put on a better, more compassionite face perhaps having a classic movie villaness (Cruella DeVille anyone?) as a spokesperson is not the best idea. She promotes nothing but hate…

Give me one solid case of Ann Coulter’s hate-mongering, and a definition of hate-mongering please.
You sound more like a Lib in elephant clothing to me.

To Buckeye,
Less complicated,…MORE EFFICIENT!!!!
You mean perhaps like the medicare program,the POST OFFICE, public school system, the social sec. system,WELFARE,food stamp program???
You mean efficient,and less complicated like those?
Come on now ,you are tantalized by the illusion of getting your health care free. That’s why it sounds so appealing to you…let the folks who are out-earning you pay YOUR share.
Ah,yes, with a consumption tax Spielberg will no longer spend..even on food..that would mean I would be required to pay for the ditch-digger’s vacation perhaps his medical care,andhs wife’s and the kids. Sounds like a pretty good system..for the ditch-digger…perhaps we should all be ditch-diggers…By the way, do you perhaps have a job, you know,you perform a real service or sell a real item for which you get paid..or perhaps some government job, maybe??
You mentioned a
Ann C. using ‘unfounded and vitriolic statements’ you know like name-calling etc? you mean like’wing-nuts and lunies and ‘profit hungry insurance co, right it’s only name calling when used by the “vast right wing movement, sorry I almost forgot about the standard..I think you mentioned that GW will always, always be remerbered by being the worst..la,la this or thatI was wondering if perhap thelast Pres. might be remembered for one tg.IMPEACHMENT./?? I know, I know that damned conspiracy…they made him lie under oath,suborn perjury,obstruct justice etc..or perhaps simply THE CIGAR. Maybe the blue dress, refusing to take Osama into custody..”because we didn’t have anything on him…spoken like a real lawyer eh pink er Hawkeye.
Oh maybe after 4 short years..20% interest rates, 18% inflation, 10% misery index, 10% unemployment, gas lines etc.fabulous rounds of failed diplomacy while Americans rotted in Iranian jails, yes sir GW will certainly remembered as the worst..in your mind sir, only in your mind.
You mentioned that the real disgrace is that the topic are not worthy of debste,,well, well, Hillary would be proud..she can’t debate the issues either. What a slimy way to dodge the issues eh Pin..er Hawkey. The truth is you don’t know the issues. You don’t know the state or fate of this country either. Why, becsuse you haven’t taken the time to learn.
Yes, America is 42 on longevity. Infant mortality is 10 or 11.Why?
Because the folks living with those wonderful systems that you love come here for their medical care…the sickest ones. next who did the counting? Exactely the same countries that sponser those programs…they don’t have the freedom of infromation act to collect…get the picture yet? Yeah, you get the picture but you single minded collective mentality will not allow you to absorb it OR admit it.
OH,one more thing. Why do you suppose that ol’ corpulant Sandy Berger,doll that he is, was stuffing papers into his jock and sock?? Something to do with or similar to those countries that have one set or figures for their “healthcare system. I will bet and give odds that people on this blog would pay for your trip to Cuba the very nex time you need surgery.
No sir….I certainly not honor you with any inquries..not because of the biggest disgrace you alluded to before,
but because you simpy do not have the facts sir.
Sam
Before you obfiscate over the spelling the keyboard is old and dysfunctional he,he no pun intended HONESTT

Read everyone of Ann’s books in addition to all her columns. Then if you tell me she is very dumb, very viscious and fails to do her homework, I will say congratulations, you are indeed a full fledged liberal and deserve to have John Edwards, or Hillary or Obama as your next president. I think America deserves better.

Conservativs who criticize Bill Maher don’t know a thing about a joke.. It is not what you say. It is how you say it. Bill Maher is a comedian and Ann Coulter is not. When Bill Maher says something it is funny. When Ann Coulter says she means it in the worst possible way. She is an evil and religious fanatic person. If she has any guts, she should sign up and go to Iraq.

Scott -
If thats what you want, then expect us to shell out 10 billion a month for the next decade.
And Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, and the invasion has only increased the chance of a repeat.

Omitting the context of Coulter’s comments is egregiously irresponsible journalism. I’m sorry I even read this article.

When I watch Ann Coulter crack jokes about Democrats and their hypocrisy, pandering, etc. — I can’t help but laugh. And I laugh when Bill Maher cracks jokes about Republicans, except that he plays way too much to his audience even when his jokes bomb. But if you say she’s not funny, you’re so in the tank for the Democrats that you can’t even appreciate a good jokes. Yeah, Ann’s ascerbic (look it up, since I know you have no idea what that means) wit sometimes cuts a little too close to the bone, but sometimes Maher does too (anybody heard a good Catholic priest joke lately?). So Maher’s funny but Coulter’s not — and I bet you think Franken’s frickin’ hilarious, right?

ROFLMAO – I just read her comments on Al Gore. Much funnier than the Sharpton comments, because you fear she’s right about Sharpton.
The Al Gore comments are less painfull if totally true.
Thanks for the link,

Ah! Shannon’s a Ditto-head.
Nice to see someone here likes Rush!

Ah, Rush… the Republican Party’s Courtney Love! Only I think the insane Ms. Love may actually be sober now…

Paul — ready for a surprise? I agree with you. That one was totally out of bounds. And guess what? O’Reilly called her out on that and said it was wrong of her to say. So was the Edwards trying to be funny when he called Coulter a she-devil? Or was he trying to be hateful? I’m assuming that because in the very next sentence he deplores hateful speech, he was trying to be funny. Did you laugh? If so, you can’t say Coulter’s not funny. You just can’t see it from the other side. Because I laughed when he called Coulter a she-devil — partly at the joke itself, and then partly at her because of the massive hypocrisy in name-calling and then deploring name-calling in the very next sentence.

P.S. You should probably avoid ever reading anything by Jonathon Swift. I fear his satire will be lost on you entirely, since you don’t seem to appreciate any unless it comes from your side of the aisle.

Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are so caught up in this left/right war of words with the very sharp (and quite funny) Coulter. If I were as smart (sarcasm here, you leftist dummies) as the Edwards’s, I’d let her say whatever she will and let it roll off without a fight. They cannot win. Ann’s IQ is more than both of theirs put together. God help Mrs. Edwards with her health. She is not as bad as Teresa H. Kerry, but nonetheless, I’m not too worried about her becoming the next first lady.

Well TD, you can’t say I (or Ann) can’t, because I just did, and did a pretty good job of it..
That’s what it’s all about, buddy.

Oops – my apologies TD.
“Comedy-Lover” has corrected me.

Hey Greg and abc,
You asked why all the right-wing wackos have taken over this site……..well….we are EVERYWHERE! We read, listen and watch EVERYTHING that the left has to say. And what’s this comment from you asking the Republicans to stop calling you names………sniff sniff……right-wing wackos….them’s fightin words………so watch out, WE ARE WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOU!!! Just so you know, we(Republicans) love to compare the news, ABC, NBC and CBS and then we do our homework and find out all how MOST of what really happened wasn’t reported because we ALL know that the dems own “those” stations that try to hide the truth. BTW just like you and me, Anne Coulter can say whatever she wants. Edwards is running for office, Anne Coulter isn’t. So get over it Democrats.
Can’t wait til December ’08 so we can get all this sniffling over with! Republicans Rule!!!!! And we don’t even have to call you names to WIN.

Pretty Boy Johnny doesn’t even have enough respect for his supporters to show up on time for campaign rallies. And I thought Dan Quayle was a shallow, vapid suit.

Just embrace it. Embrace the horror, future conservatives.

Boy, shut all you up din’t I?
1 post in 10 minutes…
Sorry, always happens.
Bring up Iraq, and you’re speechless.
Talk about what’s left of the Constitution… goes right by you.
Sorry, didn;’ realize the Coulter post would leave ya stumped. Who am I gonna debate with now?

I do agree the level of discourse has become shameful, And yes, we’re far more divided than united, which is sad.

We don’t hate Roberto… we’re just practicin’ our luuuuv.. we call it “Lovin’ Liberalism”. It’s the next big thing!

The author of this ABC news article obvoiusly intends to deceive the public by not mentioning the facts. Asside from all the evidence mentioned in previous reader-comments, the author also outright lied by saying “Mrs. Edwards” called in by chance. Actually, she had planned the call well in advance, and Ann Coulter was not informed of the planned event until just moments before she was placed in conversation with her on live TV. Fair? This author and ABC news prefer to have things unfair. I’m voting for the opposite of whomever ABC news decides to support: EDWARDS.

Did Edwards actually say “she-devil?”
If so, he sounds like a girly-man who reads cheesy Anne Rice girly-books.

People who support Ann Coulter or sick, rednecks or plain stupid…
This woman make money by ridiculing and offending people …what a lowlife indeed and lowlife scums supporting her ..

The distorted thinking of those who still believe in “conservative” values has allowed non-political issues and values to become the only topics the far right wants to discuss. Yes people such as Coulter, Limbaugh, etc have found a way of becoming very rich playing to the frustrations of preople with empty lives, who need someome or something to blame for the hollow lives they lead. But in the end that part of American society, who no longer find any sort of contentment in being part of the American consumer-pig society, is going to have to one day realize thay they have been played for suckers by the corporations and the politiceans. The horrible result of the neo-con uprising is Bush and Chaney and Iraq and the inability or conservatives to see just how far off base they really are.
In America we sell injustice to the rich and force it to the poor.

Perhaps the biggest phony in American Politics. He invested 16 Million Dollars into a company that has foreclosed on Katrina Victims homes. He has bought no Katrina Victim a home. Typical Democrat.

Quite the hissy catfight. They should go on Celebrity Boxing and get it over with.
My money’s on Coulter!

Nice try Klein as you once again misquoted Ann Coulter. Btw, Ann Coulter was never “flustered” during her ambushed appearance with Chris Matthews when the He-Witch’s wife supposively called-in. In fact, she asked what all of us wondered during Elizabeth Edward’s telephone rant to raise the morale of the hundreds of current Edward’s supporters…why isn’t John there?

I would not call the conservatives posting on this forum a “sizeable segment of society”, rather they are about 10% of the population. The only problem with “MSM” is that people like Ann Coulter get air time when they obviously have no substance to add to the political discourse. And by the way, viewership is not down because 10% of the population (i.e. self-proclaimed right-wing conservatives) are not watching the news. It would take a lot more than that. No, it is because people are switching to YouTube and the internet for their news because it is more convenient. There is too much polarization in this country these days which is why we can not achieve any solutions to our real problems. While oil companies and others draw in billions of dollars worth of profit, while at the same time are getting tax cuts by Pres. Bush, the American public suffers. Our healthcare and life expectancy are lower than almost every other modern society. Why? Research funding has been cut extensively, which means patients are going to suffer. Lets worry about those issues instead of worrying about calling each other left-wing or right-wing. Let’s quit worrying about issues which no longer make sense to quabble over. The constitution calls for separation of church and state, so our laws should reflect that. And BTW, we can all agree Edwards is a hypocrit, which is why he will not win the Democratic nomination and definitely not my vote.

Edwards is pitiful. He’s has so few ideas to bring to the table that he has to let his wife, stricken with cancer, carry his water and do his dirty work. Typical for a trial lawyer who builds his wealth from hedge funds who foreclose on people’s who can’t pay their mortgages due to Katrina.

John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Obama, Dodd, Binden and the rest of the people running for the Presidency are such light weights that i find it very depressing this is the best our country has to offer. And dont get me started on the Republicans. What the hell happened to us, i cant just blame Bush on this one, i have to blame the people we have become a society of sleep walkers,who care more about Paris Hilotn, Hollywwod and any thing celebrity, I digress though. Back to this phoney feud does it really matter, Coulter is an attack dog who just wants her name out there to sell books, the Edwards are the lowest common denomantor when it comes to politics. He could be the worse of the worst, with his house the size of Rhode Island his eletist views, his wife the consumet victim. Well i know come Nov 08 its non of the above for me. God help us if we cant unite as one.

Edwards is going at it again. Emotional nonsensical hysteria he throws at anyone, not unlike his court-days,.
This is the lowest of the lowest as far as life is concerned, just parasiting upon society, driving prices up, breaking down society and having no visions in his mind.
If anyone is “she-devil”, it looks more like people like Edwards himself. What a pathetic fraud.

Edwards is such a cry-baby that he has to have his sick wife to go out and be an attack dog for him. I think he is the most feminist candidate in the Demo-Commie Party!

Dear John, Perhaps you should listen to your own words. Hateful? Oh yes. You will say hateful words and more but with a pitiful example of an apology you think it makes it alright? pitiful little man.

Coulter is a horrible excuse for a human being. Those of you that support the hateful language used by Coulter and her right-wing zombies are what is fundamentally wrong with this country.
P.S. Only 520 more days of Bush!

Ann Coulter is a big idiot.

Hang tight everyone… GWB”s reign of terror is almost up!
519 days left!

All you liberals that state Ann is a horrible person need to clean out your own closet. I’ll denounce some things Ann says as soon as I see liberals bash the likes of Michael Moore, Bill Maher, and pretty much half the Hollywood crowd who feel the need to use their status to spread hate. If it’s hate you want to spread, don’t be so dumbfounded when it gets thrown back in your face. You hate Bush so your answer is to try and elect such a polarizing figure as Hillary? Yeh, there’s really no concern for bringing the country together there, is there?

i think you are exactly right bob… i do denounce the hateful language coming from all sides. shock value and humor is sophomoric and a waste of energy. i’m just commenting on how ludicrous it is that people will post that edwards and his wife have been attacking ann coulter.
and what makes you think i am voting for hilary?

The fact that mainstream media gives Coulter a venue to spew her right wing propaganda is proof that the notion of a “liberal bias” in the U.S. media is pure fiction.

At the end of the day Anne Coulter is a vile human being. I read her book, and this woman is an angry bitter writer. Unfortunately Americans keep buying her books and so she will keep appearing on talk shows and she will continue to get ratings because people want to see what venom she is going to spit out next and at who. For goodness sake she called Bill Clinton a homo! I mean surely this is one guy that everyone is in agreement loves da ladies!!!

It’s worked wonders for Dennis Miller’s career.

Would the 70% misinformed lefties be trying to differentiate fact from narrative if Coulter had opined that “fewer people would be dead now if something had “happened” to Hillary in Afghanistan” … Hillary voted/votes for the war, nes pas? Cheney didn’t…

The first thing I thought of when I read the article was what just about everyone else has commented upon:
The convenient omission of the fact that Coulter was merely referring to(in her usual sarcastic way), Bill Maher’s reference to Cheney being a hopeful (to him)assassination victim is very telling.
Of course,this is exactly what we can expect from the rest of the liberal media too. You won’t hear a peep about what is obvious for us conservatives to point out.
Pure liberal leadership: leave their constituents ignorant and in darkness, so they can appear superior and superhuman.

Yeah Baby! We’re the New World Order Son… here’s comes “Lovin’ Liberalism” kiddies.

I love Ann

Poor little Johnny Edwards sends his wife out to fight his battles because he can’t do it himself.
Johhny boy, just go home to your 28,000 square foot mansion and get a $400 haircut and tell yourself all about the two Americas.
Once a ambulance chaser always a ambulance chaser.

I’m not going to divulge my true political stance because I think it would make me appear slanted to the other side. So, in order to preserve the purity of my words, I will keep that my little secret.
Frankly, I am extremely disturbed by the childishness and ignorance displayed on this message board. I am absolutely horrified. I stopped at whoever was calling the other side “neandrethals.”
This partisan hate HAS the stop! On BOTH sides! It’s no longer intelligent debate, but has become reminiscent of racism, sexism, etc. People have started hating one another and acting like school yard bullies because of someone’s political view?!
What does slinging mud really accomplish? Does it help our troops? Does it help the needy? Does it help ANYONE! NO! All it does is waste time that could be better spent actually ACCOMPLISHING something worth while. Instead, people choose to simply sit back and defame the other side.
I’m all for political satire. So long as its witty and intelligent. Not just simply slinging mud. For anyone who enjoys the same I suggest you check out a group called Capitol Steps. They are awesome. No matter what side of the fence you lie on, they will have you laughing.
However, the behavior exhibited on this board is absolutely appalling. This is the very reason I decided that I couldn’t handle being a politician. I don’t think my health could handle dealing with this childishness each and every day. So, I’m now choosing to stay in the background as a grassroots politician. I find that things actually get DONE on that level without the unnecessary, ignorant hate talk.
My advice to people on here – GROW UP! You are acting like children! To hate someone you don’t know simply on their politics is ridiculous. If this is the behavior you are teaching your children, I pity the world.
Stop spreading hate. Try debating intelligently and putting yourself in your opponents shoes.

Ann Coulter is not a NUT !!! She is making Millions off of you right wing nuts. If I were her I would keep it up also..

some one needs to stop these ant – american,white flag waving,terorist loving,surrender to our enemies democrats. god help this country if he have a democrat in the white house in 08, its bad enough we have pelosi running the house and promising to help the terrorists and sen.reid call this war ” lost”. when are people that truly love this country gonna stand up to these democrats and say is enough including john edwards. mr edwards news flash ther is not 2 america`s as you pathetically claim. why is it everytime you democrats love to pit people against each other, such as white vs black , rich vs poor, young vs old.

Ann Coulter is nasty , she doesn’t need to be so nasty in order to air her opinions,but she chooses to – for attention probably. Let’s not pay her that attention she so craves.

Saw Edwards on ABC this AM – Dem debate. He said, in the span of less than 5 minutes (check the tape);
1. RE Iran, the US needs to take military action off the table. Diplomacy is the way to deal with this threat. Talk should be the path forward.
2. RE Lobbyists, the gov’t needs to take action against the lobbyist establishment – talk won’t work, since the lobbyists don’t want to give up their power in Washington.
So, as far as Edwards is concerned, diplomacy will work with an Islamic-extremist led foreign terrorist country, bent on our destruction, but concrete actions must be be taken to end the “terror” perpetrated by Washington lobbyists?!?!?!?
This just shows how the left – EVERY ONE OF THEM – just doesn’t get it!

STOP MOCKING EDWARDS!!!!!!
He’s so……DREAMY!!!!

Coulter’s best shot at Edwards was giving him the nickname, “The Fetus Whisperer”. Hilarious

ABC is part of the imaginary “Liberal Media” now? Hilarious. Is this the same ABC, owned by Disney, who released a 911 movie making BushCo look like heroes while pinning it all on Clinton? and the same Disney Co. that tried to keep Farhenheit 911 from being released? The same multinational corporation that benefits greatly from rightwing tax cuts aimed at the wealthy and huge companies only? Those guys are radical left-wingers? LOL!!

Yes after they let Bill Clinton do his own editing…..

Yeah Amanda kinda like what they want to do with Rush Huh……..cant compete as a matter afact a complete failure so let’s pass the hush Rush law..

Hah!! Typical brain-dead, liberal reporting… the idea that Ann Coulter was “flustered”… every idiot liberal involved and watching that “set-up” call from Liz Edwards was “eagerly hoping” Ann would be flustered…when she didn’t cooperate, they just decided to do what they always do…. LIE!!! YEA, ANN!! way to make them look like the fools they are!!

“She-devil” is too kind a description for that psycho.

Nick,
It’s understandable why you did and I take no offense to it. I’m definitely not what most people think of when they think “conservative,” but that’s mostly due to overly advertised stereotypes. However, no one has to allow me to have a certain philosophy.
Also, don’t confuse the words Republican and conservative. They are not the same thing despite popular opinion. Conservative is a philosophy, while Republican is a political platform that changes with the times.
I tend to call myself a conservative with a libertarian streak because I don’t agree with how modern conservatives are trying to legislate religious law – no gay marriage for example.
I had planned on running as a politician one day because I felt my ideas filled the void between “Republican” and “Democrat.” Unfortunately, my health probably could stand the hate mongers that have taken place of the intelligent debaters of yesteryear…

Is Rich Klein a reporter? He wrote that Fox News was right-wing as a fact. Fox actually has too many left wingers, but it is less biased than CNN, BBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, and NBC. That’s why it is popular. Sounds like Klein has some kind of agenda.

The facts of the matter is that the liberals and conservatives are so biased the the truth will hardly ever out! As for Ms. Coulter: She has perfected vicious to a high lucrative art. Doncha just love a screachy attack cat?

Perhaps he can go back to chasing ambulances and leave the stupid liberal brainwashed democratic zombies alone!!!
Hilary is a much better choice for the liberals because she will let you kill your own children and cheat on your spouses with no repercussions whatsoever. Look at the benefits. You can cheat on your spouse – get your mistress knocked up and she can have an abortion and kill the child – all with no adverse consequences to your happy marriage.
A true liberal heaven on earth. Or is it a progressive heaven?

I became a registered democrat while I was in a coma, turns out I voted also. Sure didnt remember it since I woke up 17 days after the election.
I would like for once, tell me the plan, not I have a plan. What is the plan, how will you pay for it and will you get it approved?

Will all of you leftists who keep referring to Ann’s “vile comments” please provide links or quotes (in context) to these supposed comments?
I’m willing to bet most of you have never even read a word she’s written.

Brandy, I have a plan. A “Fairness Doctrine” for broadcast television news. ABC News would fold in 3 days.

So the many “thousands” who died before dont matter, expendable, non people. thanks for the clarification.

It’s so freaking hot out today that I only have enough energy to say that I enjoy Paul’s comments and would like to add my own: Please God let it be November 2008 so we can elect a new president (Go Hilary), and please make Ann Coulter go away.

hey fred. they deleted one of mine from about an hour ago. I was referring to you funky dang conservatives but in fun way. go figure. How about it ABC? Are you censoring? what up dogs?

To RWH,
Some would call you cynical. I don’t believe you are. Instead you have developed an insight into these folks behavior patterns which seems to be repetious with very similar motivations eg. a senator died and within a week his wife decides to run for his seat
shortly after.A senator dies in a tragic plane crash and his funeral
turns into as political rally..with his sons leading the cheering. Another senator succumbs in a plane crash and a senatorial collegue consoles her by marrying her she is said to very wealthy. Another senator running for president (maybe this one was a VP too, it’s hard to remember because his boss was always doing somethibg sensational,like staying out of jail and having intern pj parties)anyway he spent 30 min. eulogizing his departed sister..at the national convention. Perhaps you see where I may be going.
I have often pondered about the fortuitous timing of elizabeth’s metastasis,even more if she develops a timed remission. Yes, Yes, I know, how cynical can you become..perhaps not cynical enough with this group. But as you suggest we certainly would’nt dare speak of such things….no matter how strong the hunger for power appears..Can we?? SAM

I work in a large warehouse shopping club. Everytime Ann Coultier’s books come in, they are sent back due to non sales. We may sell 5 or 10 at the most. And I live in a “blue state”. She is down to few programs actually wanting her on tv. I think its funny that she can run her mouth as much as she wants but hwen she is on tv and others start coming down on her, she runs to Hannity to “make them stop Sean”. She cant take what she dishes out.

God bless you Ann Coulter. If Edwards want so believe you are a devil, funny that he is the one spewing hate speech. How presidential of him?! If he was actually elected all any two-bit dictator would have to do would be to call him names and watch for his reaction. What a wuss.

Many of you have it correct, we have no choice among the Demos or Repubs. We are only seeing a wrestling script. We all know Hillary has already been selected by both parties and the in between is a way to entertain, make us think we are involved, and a source of CASH for both parties.
We also already know that 95% of the running incumbents will be reelected to continue the same old stuff.
It is time to push for adding “none of the above” to all ballots and vote 3rd party in between.
Don’t buy into the script.

Bush was elected president, he was not ANNOINTED, to take it upon himself to invade and impose ANY form of government.We would all be out in the streets fighting ANYONE who came over here and tried that on us.Rationalize all u want, but that;s the bottom line.
DO UNTO OTHERS.

Nicholas
you got that right. This administration is not CONSERVATIVE or have Republican values.I wish all conservative republican would just STOP and look at what they are doing and not just criticize everything as liberal bias.

nick, you fought in the korean war, wow, im impressed, i was in vietnam, and the first gulf war, should give you an indication of my age, yours is around 75 right now. yes, im retired. you can come out of the basement now.

Sidney
Ok YOU’re not a chicken hawk, and I respect you for your service, but you have to admit, that a great many pro war advocates (who are able),don;t want to enlist.So they talk the talk and thats it. Hey, I;ve been a conservative all my life, but George is making me see things another way.Can I come out now?

Will, These are just a few of Ann’s credentials (thanks for asking)…
As an undergraduate at Cornell, Coulter helped found The Cornell Review,and was a member of the Delta Gamma national women’s fraternity.She graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984, and received her law degree from the University of Michigan Law School, where she achieved membership in the Order of the Coif and was an editor of the Michigan Law Review. At Michigan, Coulter founded a local chapter of the Federalist Society and was trained at the National Journalism Center.
After law school, Coulter served as a law clerk for Pasco Bowman II of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in Kansas City. After a short time working in New York City in private practice, where she specialized in corporate law, Coulter left to work for the United States Senate Judiciary Committee after the Republican Party took control of Congress in 1994. She handled crime and immigration issues for Senator Spencer Abraham of Michigan, and helped craft legislation aimed to make it easier to deport aliens convicted of felonies. She later became a litigator with the Center For Individual Rights.

Jack, that was well done, a little item that escaped an old army persons immagination. thank you for reminding us.
semper fi

all will be ok. Mrs. Edwards is going to give up “Tangerines” Oh, but she will keep her 25,000 Sq Foot house paid for during John’s Ambulance Chasing days ! Now he is legit !
Don’t fall for it folks

Hey nick,
They congress authorized the pres to go to war, and if they wanted to, the democratic led congress could stop the war by voting to stop the funding of the war. So stop whining about how the pres was not annointed..he was elected, confirmed and with the backing of Congress has done what is necessary to protect the US from future 9/11′s.

Hmmmmmmm, first one hundred hours, then first one hundred days, how long the dems been in ‘power’.
Nancy said the game was over, have loved the bills they have passed. oh wait, what bills?
lovely time in liberville isnt it

Brandy, your shopping club may not buy Ann Coulter’s books but the rest of America does. They don’t keep printing them for nothing. Some are in the second and third printing. And I doubt that what you say is true. Your shopping club would not keep ordering “non Sellers”
Your words “Everytime Ann Coulters books come in” We are not stupid Brandy. If it is truly a ” Large ” Shopping club, they did not become large from being idiots ! We sent back the last order of those Ann Coulter books, what do you say we order some more ! Yeah-Right !!!! If that was the case, you won’t have a job for long.

John Edwards has managed to get into a feud with a commentator and author? How presidential is that?
LOL!!!!!!

“Lying”??
Really Richard? How so?
Did Edwards not call Coulter a “she-devil”?
His own words are printed in the original blog entry at the top of this page. Do you deny he said what he said?

Memo To Johnny,
Send E-mails to everyone! Fast!
Another fundraising opportunity for you.
Highlight the fact that you are equally good at shouting match with Coulter.

How crushed will the dems be when the cons win the presidency again? They will absolutely lose it and go off the cliff…the new media is changing opinions by the hundreds a day with the truth.

Ok, enough.
Doesnt matter who becomes president in 08 does it. they cant do anthing to change anyting.
we are at an impass.
check to see how many judges are held up?
check to see where the road

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus and John Edwards is his name-o.

See, it’s just that many, many Republicans are lame
…and in denial
…and stubborn to a point where it gets american soldiers killed
…and gullible enough to believe what they are fed
they actually believe Jesus is on their team (this ain’t schoolyard basketball)
…they use fear more than any other group to try to drive their point home
…they don’t know what WMDs are
…yes, most Republicans are lame.
Some are not… but most are.
how many more must die in the name of the fake war (that cheney knew was a problem – we all saw the video)? Seriously… you’re lame. And if you belive Bush you’re stupid too.

I think the fact that so many people would even waste a single breath on defending Coulter says a lot about the sad mindset of the past six years. Takes a real sheep to defend Coulter.

No Rino
You did’nt answer the question. “how would you like it if some foreign nation decided to invade us and instill their form of governmnet on us”/ Also if you turn off Fox news, you would learn that IRAQ had NOTHING NOTHING to do with 911. These neo cons wanted us to destroy Iraq since Gulf 1 and now they are itching for Iran. Did you ever stop to think why. Who benefits from another Crusade. Think it thru

JD, Ann doesn’t need anyone to defend her. That’s precisely what I like about her. As I said before, her IQ is more than the combined total IQ of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards!

I am suprised that John didn’t have Elizabeth post a comment here. It might have generated some more cash for him. What else can they whine about? What a freaking joke they both are!

If there was ever a more disgusting and self-indulgent person in the world, I would be shocked.
Get it? She’s in it for the attention. Not for her viewpoint. It’s called narcissism. She loves to think she’s a sex symbol or something and she really is not. I remember that… it’s called high school.

For those of you who can only look at picture and not read, you are missing a great columnist. Read Ann’s article from last week, she makes a great case for calling the left liars. And the only narcissism I have seen is Edwards primping his hair for almost a solid minute (looking at himself in a mirror)

Poor George, you sound so bitter and envious of Ms. Coulter. Are you jealous that she has a NY Times best seller and that she is an effective communicator of the liberal hypocrisy and double-talk? Ah the green-eyed monster hath bitten George on the tuckus.
It’s ok George… don’t fret, I hear Al Franken is going to make a run for public office. I think an Edwards/Franken ticket could be just what your liberal brain can encompass, more vacuous and inane dribble from the self-aggrandizing and self-concerned party elite. I think they will serve as great city commissioners for LA or San Fran.

moonsha, Ann doesn’t need anyone to defend her. As I said before, her IQ is more than the combined total IQ of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards !

John,
You nailed it!!! and because the truth is like Krytonite to liberals they must get rid of it via the fairness doctrine….
Rush and Drudge do nothing but shine a light on liberal idiocy and their point of view. They can’t do what they usually do try to make what they say seem “mainstream” enough that some sheeple will buy it. Instead of just coming out and saying what they are for.
Because they know LIBERALISM DON’T SELL!!
Hillary is already saying that it will be 2 years into her presidency before we even think about leaving. So is Hillary going to pull us out like she said a month ago or start 2 years into her presidency…which is it!!??
Libs are Stallinist in disguise. Just like this comment from this thread”
“It’s so freaking hot out today that I only have enough energy to say that I enjoy Paul’s comments and would like to add my own: Please God let it be November 2008 so we can elect a new president (Go Hilary), and please make Ann Coulter go away.
Posted by: Like Living on the Sun | Aug 19, 2007 6:12:24 PM
How will Hillary make Ann go away…..since the stallinist can’t compete, what are they going to do, drag Ann and any other conservative they don’t agree with to public hearings and try to get jail time on them (hello…. China) You on the left hate Bush so much you have you eyes closed to the facts and your party is now communist. Wait til you say somthing Hillary doesn’t like. You will be in jail.

Hey libs,
If you can keep it civil come on in here and debate. If not we kick you out:-)Conservatives more of what you think…..so come on
Posted by: ronnielong | Aug 20, 2007 1:37:28 PM

I’m not quite sure what I find most disturbing: John Edwards’ dishonest rhetoric; Rick Klein’s flagrantly biased reporting through omission; or the misguided angry words of posters such as “VeganMilitia” and “nick.”
Regarding VeganMilitia, apparently some Americans on the Left find it convenient to shout in slogans and scatter-about glittering generalities (some of which contain falsities).
“All we listen to is Rush?”
Even if that were remotely true, why are you afraid of Rush? Are you afraid that the weakness of your position, convictions and beliefs will be shaken? I can’t speak for others but as for myself, as a former Leftist, I try to maintain balance in my reading, listening and viewing content.
“Faux News?”
For years, when conservatives complained about the well-documented liberal biased of the major US networks, they were told: start your own network! Well, an alternative network was created – one in which that liberal bias is no longer in evidence, And now, the Left is hysterical. Hysterical! The funny thing is that Fox News isn’t that conservative; and Fox News invites far more liberals to offer commentary compared to conservative guests/commentators on the Big Three.
Several Democratic Party presidential candidates have been attacking Fox News, That’s not very mature and it smacks of hypocrisy.
“Still think Saddam was behind 9-11?”
This is an apocryphal connection which is often repeated by the left, but never mentioned by anyone in the current administration. Never. Also, Fox News never made that connection. Never. Americans on the Left continue to repeat that assertion in the hopes that it will be accepted as fact. Good thing some of us have been paying attention since 1990 and before.
However, as early as October 2001, I read about Ansar al-Islam and its suspected connections to Saddam Hussein. As Ansar al-Islam, an al Qaeda-affiliated militia that was fighting against the secular Kurds, was an enemy of his enemy, Saddam’s support (direct or indirect) seemed like a natural fit.
“Knuckle-scraping Neanderthals?
I suppose that one when is on thin ice in terms of one’s views it’s only natural that they resort to ad hominem attacks. If that makes The Left, especially VeganMilitia, feel better, then, please, by all means, think of us as Neanderthals. I am a Cave Man.
And not all of us are Christians.

As a Republican, Ann Coulters mouth makes us all look bad. Thats another reason why we’re going to lose in November. Suggesting that politicians “be killed” might work well in Iraq but we are Americans and it’s time we respect each other.
God save the Repuiblic.
