Coulter-Rubin Verbal Spat on GMA

She is amazingly stupid.

Jamie Rubin should not let someone like Coulter get him upset. Educated, intelligent people understand her “game” and how big of an idiot she is. It is people like her that have slowly but surely destroyed the Republican Party with their close minded, virulent, conservatve garbage. On the other …maybe he is just keeping her stirred up so her mouth just keeps running and the “collateral damage” just gets worse. I hope that is the case, because she is simply not worth the powder to blow her…you know where.

Ann Coulter, Liz Cheney, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. The new spokespeople for the repubs.

I think Charlie Rangel should straighten Coulter out on ethics.

Jim Rod: I think you meant to say “haunt”. On second thought, maybe you did mean “hunt”. You people have been on the “hunt” for something………. anything to discredit President Obama, but you just can’t seem to find that something can you?? That’s apparent in his approval ratings. It’s just one more valiant attempt before you neocons go the way of the dinosaur.

@FS – “Educated, intelligent people understand her “game” and how big of an idiot she is.”
I’m sorry, but you seem to imply that Ann Coulter is uneducated, unintelligent and an idiot – She graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984 with a B.A. in history, and received her J.D. 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.
You’re the one who is running their mouth without checking your facts. I would be surprised if you had such academic laurels as Ms Coulter.

Jim Rod …I am going to attempt a simple analogy lesson here that hopefully even people like you can understan. What make a good “game day coach” in college football? The kind that develops a plan a week before the big game and then refuses to veer off that plan no matter what the opposition does (i.e. Gerge Bush). Or one that that flexible, adaptable and that can constantly make adjustments to what the opposition throws at them? We have the latter in our current President – and not only should we be very glad about that – we should be supporting him and tuning out idiots like Coulter, Cheney, Beck, Rush etc. Now that is ONLY if you can understand that concept and how fortunate we are to now have an intelligent, thinking, adaptable leader for our country.

JDS: You show your intelligence when attribute a comment to someone who did not make it. Without question Ann Coulter is academically credible but she, in my view, is one who has “gone hollywood” and rarely speaks to the subject at hand. She knows her schtick… and that is to be controversial and “twist” factual information in order to represent an opposition instead of well-thought out analysis. This is what gets her air time and this is what gets her paid.
Where are the intellectual, conservative women who could bring to the table thought-provoking discussion rather than Rush Limbaugh laden blow-hard spewings? I KNOW they exist! I have met them!!!

“Cheney kept us safe.

Except for that little 9/11 attack on his watch.

Amusing.

You will never know as long as “news” outlets provide entertainers (Ann Coulter)with platforms to discuss serious issues of which they have no clue. What in the world does Ann Coulter know about military strategy?
More than Obama does it seems.

Oh you mean be an easy target…yeah I would say he’s doing a great job at that.

Carol | Oct 23, 2009 1:53:12 PM: I beg to differ your analogy is flawed greatly! What we have now in office is a pee-wee coach who is so terrified to make a decision by the time he makes one not just the game but the season will be over.

Ann Coulter is looking quite frazzled these days…very interesting

Rubin has nothing to stand on here. Obama is lying once again. He knew the plan before going into office. Coulter is just telling the truth. People either like her or they dont. You know the bottom line is that the truth is starting to come out and people are seeing is he just a chicago political gangster. People were warned and they said he is not like all the people he hangs around. WELL? I beg to differ.

“My hope is that individuals like you remain in your delusional, make believe world. At least we know where you are and how off target you are. My hope is that you will stay there for at least the next decade so we can get our country back on the right track.”
AMEN!!!

Cheney kept us safe. I’m not as confident that Obama can do the same.

Oops..wrong person…should have been talking to Jeff…
Well, let’s see.
Cheney was sworn in as Vice President on roughly Jan 21 2001. The terrorists attacked on Sep 11 2001 which was 233 days later.
Obama was sworn in on roughly Jan 21 2001. And the terrorists have not attack us 276 days later.
So, Obama has protected us 43 more days so far than Cheney did in the respective administrations.
Why are you not as confident in Obama?
Also, it is appropriate that you compared Cheney to Obama, since it is well known that he was the ‘Defacto President’.

Obama goes around blaming the Bush administration for everything! The economy, Afghanistan, Iran, the Mid-East. He says over and over how he’s “cleaning up the mess he inherited.” Why is it legitimate for the Obama to criticize the past administration, but not vice versa? Just King O wanting everything his own way, just like he tried to cut FoxNews out of the loop. He consistantly engages in finger-pointing, whining, complaining, weak excuses, and mini-despotic behavior. 2012 can’t get here soon enough.

gallup and rassmussen polls just out say it all. read some news from europe as well. obama is tanking faster than anyone in 50 years. time to govern from the middle if you want to hang around or dont want to see the dems get blown out in 2010. enough of the left of left agenda and politics. attack fox news? how laughable…they actually report news good and bad.

Me: Because factually there is a mess to clean up. Listen… I don’t like the fact that President Obama and/or his administration seem as if they are constantly pointing the finger at Mr. Bush. However, the reason it must be done is to remind you naysayers about what is factually true! You have entertainers such as Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin, Beck, AND Coulter who just literally manipulate the truth or just outright lie! Unfortunately, so unfortunately… many of the naysayers will not research fact for themselves but will only feed into what they are “fed.” You have to nip this in the bud with doses of reality before it becomes an uncontrollable snowball.
I just can’t get over this! This interview is a total embarrassment for ABCNews. ANN COULTER???? …Well, maybe because it was on GoodMorning America–Ughh! ANN COULTER???? please…

Ann Coulter, Liz Cheney, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. The new spokespeople for the repubs.

all beautiful women, what do you have Botox Pelosi,

PFR: Look at the headlines Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years!
The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.
Check Rasmussen Reports

… And know for the biggest idiot of the day ErnestNM | Oct 23, 2009 2:35:12 PM how many attacks have happened since 9/12 ? how many days is that over 2600?…
Today, October 23, 2009, 4 minutes ago | batesba74
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Why is it that the Republicans completely ignore the fact that Cheney and Bush knew that Osama Bin Laden was planning a major attack on the USA?…just as Obama knows the same now!
And, that Al-Qaeda was able to carry out that attack on the USA while Cheney and Bush were in office.
The statistics are worth repeating again.
Cheney and Bush were sworn in on roughly Jan 21 2001. The terrorists attacked on Sep 11 2001 which was 233 days later.
Obama and Biden were were sworn in on roughly Jan 21 2001. And the terrorists have not attack us 276 days later.
So, Obama and Biden have protected us 43 more days so far than Cheney did in the respective administrations.
At the very least Obama and Biden should get a free pass (to be on par with Cheney and Bush) if the terrorists attack us again, because that is what happened during the Cheney and Bush administrations!

I was disappointed when I stumbled across this interview this morning. Jamie Rubin made some good statements. But to see you even bother with including Ann Coulter was a definite fast channel switching. She may be educated, but she is also crazy.

Check Rasmussen Reports

OK, let’s do. Let’s look at the Rasmussen numbers.
Looks like the President must be doing something right the past 3 days. The entire set of Rasmussen data is listed below.
Looks like major movement from ‘Strongly Disapprove’ to ‘Strongly Approve’ the past 3 days.
1) Strongly Disapprove down 2%
2) Strongly Approve up 2%
3) Somewhat Disapprove down 1%
4) Somewhat Approve unchanged
5) Total Approve up 2%
6) Total Disapprove down 3%
7) 49% Approve and 50% Disapprove – not bad at all considering what the President is doing.
Date—Somewhat Approve / Somewhat Disapprove—Strongly Approve / Strongly Disapprove—Total Approve / Total Disapprove
23-Oct-09—-20% / 12%—-29% / 38%—-49% / 50%
22-Oct-09—-21% / 13%—-26% / 39%—-47% / 52%
21-Oct-09—-20% / 13%—-27% / 40%—-47% / 53%
Change——- 0% / -1%—–2% / -2%——2% / -3%

Ernestnm: that is the dumbest argument I have ever witnessed, it was planned under Democratic Leadership as well. So again I ask did anyone know when where how the attacks would be carried out?
Posted by: batesba74 | Oct 23, 2009 3:20:32 PM
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your own argument makes my point.
Al-Qaeda planned attacks (then and now) under Republican and Democratic administrations as everyone (including you) knows. And Clinton gave the report on these desires to Cheney and Bush as they came in.
And, neither administration knew/knows “when where how the attacks would be carried out”.
So, why do Cheney and Bush get a ‘pass’ for not protecting us as long as Obama and Biden have?
Obama and Biden have protected us 43 more days so far than Cheney and Bush did in the respective administrations.

ErnestNM | Oct 23, 2009 3:17:35 PM
Yes if you can look at so in two days he has went from 40-38 wow! To bad the Press here or across the pond are not buying your argument. Know lets look at the who the polls include to get the ratings. 37.2% Democrats, 32.7% Republicans, and 30.1% unaffiliated. So even when weighted to the left ever so slightly he is still -9.

armendj/ We the people are ready to listen to you!
You have the mike…. go

hello Carol -
The job of President is not a popularity contest…get over it, ratings smatings. America is safer w/out Bush in the White House – and it is soooo refreshing to have intelligent and non-combative verbage coming out of the mouths of our leaders.
As for Coulter on GMA..Really? The only bonus is that the GMA audience got to see what a real blithering idiot looks like..in two parts, Cheney and Coulter, but please NO MORE COULTER, let her play her part on FOX.

armendj…….. hint… your positions on Healthcare,Education,Energy, Defense,Civil Liberties,Budget,Foreign Policy, Business…. you know the important stuff. Fill the room with your knowledge. We are waiting>

Rasmussen……….. chuckle

I won’t be watching. I find Ann Coulter’s method of getting press attention as repulsive. She went to the school of Rush and I don’t listen to him either..

Funny how we can look backwards when it (supposedly) favors Bush, isn’t it??

armendj…… still waiting… and? remember you asked why does anyone listen to Cheney,Ann Coulter,Karl Rove and Tom Delay…. we are waiting to hear from you. Forget them. What are your positions on Healthcare, Education, Defense,Business, Budget etc.
Well ? Bueller…. Bueller, anyone…Bueller

…The Rasmussen polls have a great track record lets look at two of the larger ones. In 2008, Obama won 53%-46% and our final poll showed Obama winning 52% to 46%…..How watered down and biased does that look? I would say that is very accurate.
Posted by: batesba74 | Oct 23, 2009 4:11:48 PM
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes it is.
But let’s look at the 2008 polls a little more closely so we can see where Rasmussen really stood compared to the others.
Poll——–Obama / McCain / Spread
Final Results—-52.9% / 45.6% / 7.3%
1) CNN/Opinion Research—-53 %/ 46% / 7%
2) Ipsos/McClatchy—-53% / 46% / 7%
3) FOX News—-50% / 43% / 7%
4) Pew Research—-52% / 46% / 6%
5) Rasmussen Reports—-52% / 46% / 6%
It looks like Rasmussen came in 5th place.
Interestingly, they were behind FOX news.
And, CNN and Ipsos nailed the ‘final results’ and ‘spread’.
So, why are you so fascinated by the Rasmussen poll?

Can you tell me how a -34 index is better than a -9 ? last I checked unless Math has changed -34 is less than -9? No amount of fact is going to wake you from your fantasy world.
Posted by: batesba74 | Oct 23, 2009 4:19:15 PM
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Glad you asked.
-34% was Bushes ‘Strongly Disapprove Index’ whereas -33% was his ‘Total Disapprove Index’.
Therefore Bush looked ‘less disapproved’ when Rasmussen used ‘Total’ instead of ’Strongly’ with him.
Barack on the other hand looks ‘significantly disapproved’ because of the -9 ‘Strongly Disapprove Index’ instead of the -1 ‘Total Disapprove’ index’ using today’s Rasmussen numbers.
Similarly, he looked ‘significantly disapproved’ because of the -13 ‘Strongly Disapprove Index’ instead of the -6 ‘Total Disapprove Index’ using the Rasmussen numbers from 3 days ago.
Does that help?

DIGNITY? Look at how the dem’s are always throwing stones at the previous administration…Dignity? I don’t think so. They are always trying to shut the conservatives up and calling names…Dignity? I agree that this administration is making some bad decisions as well and as history will show, made a bigger mess. PUT MORE TROOPS IN! SPEND MONEY WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE SPENT AND STOP CREATING MORE BILLS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY RIGHT NOW FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN TO PAY. #1 priority should be to keep our people safe and our nation safe as well. Bush’s administration did that. How long will it be befor we are attacked again because of procrastination. Regan showed strength and brought the hostages home.

Ah, I did listen to NPR this morning, and the president’s ratings are far from in the tank; he has the highest approval rating of any politician. However, Michele Obama has even higher percent approval of any political (first lady) person.
What bothers me, is the assumption from those that only follow Fox News and right-wing talk radio, is that anything that isn’t far to the right must be left leaning.
What I like about NPR is they at least try to present all sides of an issue. Most of the time it is just plain, in-depth, factual reporting.
Also, Ann Couture might be educated, but she is so profoundly biased and mean-spirited as to lose any credibility.

“Oabam was given a plan before Bush left…”
Yes, he was given a play by the gang-that-couldn’t-shoot-straight. Is it any wonder that he threw it into the circular file (the trash can)? He wanted a real comprehensive plan – not a banner or a bumper sticker.
I want a President who doesn’t take his cues from Bush & Co. I want a President who actually takes the time to consider the situation, instead of throwing US troops at his pet projects, like you-know-who.
NATO countries are actually considering backing Obama’s play on this one, once he has time to come up with a comprehensive plan that isn’t just a military patch – because Afghanistan is not a military problem – it’s a political one.
Until the US develops a plan that includes a political solution to the problem of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, no matter how many troops you have, you are doomed to fail.

Funny..If its “Dithering” that bothers Cheney so much..then WHY did the BUSH White House do do very little for 5 years of the Iraq war…only to recant at the last moment with the supposed “Surge” of which his generals couldnt do without?? I think as far as throwing stones at this White House..lets listen to those that dont have a stake in the outcome of this current conflict. The Bush White House and all it contained should be ignored on just about every new issue facing us today. Its their fault were in this to begin with..isnt it. And Im talking ALL of this..all of it.
Ann Coulter…. is a moron..and shouldnt be allowed to talk..period. She hasnt done anything BUT run her nazi mouth. Nothing for anyone. She doesnt volunteer..doesnt hold an office…never has. She isnt even a member of the PTA or the Girl Scouts. WHY do you listen to her?? Why is she on TV?? It used to be that folks that actually did something were the ones we were watching..now its any jerk with a mouth and an opinion..
what a world huh??

It’s amusing. It’s plain and simple.
Who won the Nobel Peace Price? You can’t send thousands of our guys to Afghanistan if you’ve just won the Nobel Price; especially if you haven’t received the award in your hand and the price money yet. Obama still has to read his speech (that someone else will write for him) from the teleprompter and wag his pointer finger and raise his chin up like he always does. Then he’ll say “Make no mistake, bah bah bah!”
What else is new?

Rubin wasted air time to keep Coulter from speaking, and the host allowed him to do so.
Rubin patted her on the head.
I don’t need people to tell me who they think has brains. Who do you think you are?
Neither of them is lacking intelligence It’s the mindlessness of adolescent minded ABC producers and editors that pits anyone against Coulter who is a very intelligent woman trained to argue and win.
Suddenly survival of the fittest doesn’t work so well for the left.
lol

Ann Coulter is an author and an attorney, just like the President. She hasn’t been elected the junior Senator from Illinois but maybe she prefers earning a living. The interesting thing about the complaints about Cheney is that people seem to resent him for wanting the President to do deploy troops that were requested by his commander.

Why does anyone listen to her, and it doesn’t matter where you got your degree from. I’m sure people cheated their way to one or more degrees, it sure seems like they did. Is everyone all of a sudden born stupid? Nobody is making sense on T.V., I guess people can get 15 minutes of fame by being reckless and controversial, so here’s my question, is any pundit, analyst or news anchor going to make a difference in our lives and in our world? No!
