Ann Coulter was shooting off her mouth in Kalamazoo - and stepped in it.
Coulter drew gasps from the crowd when, asked by an African-American audience member how minorities could be drawn to the Republican party, she said: “It’s very hard to be a conservative black. I know what you go through.”
I don’t know about you, but when I see Ann Coulter my first thought is “black man”. (thanks to reader John, who sent this my way)
Right on Anne. Now tell me again how affirmitive action has hurt you. As a black man, of course.
The man part, totally plausible. Black? Uh…no.
How come when a white female Democrat says, “And you know what I’m talking about,” her you believe?
Give it a rest!
Ann Coulter is clearly not from this planet. She’d have a clue if she were.
This one speaks for itself.
As we’ve previously cited - embarassment to her party and womankind.
Can you provide an example of a white female democrat claiming to know what its like to be a black man, Frank, or are you just being pretending its a common thing for them to say in some kind of poorly cobbled defense of a noted racist shrew?
Come to that, what does she even think she meant by that? She, a relatively wealthy, rather (in)famous conservative public speaker who has personally benefitted extremely from the Bush II administration, so in what way is she identifying with a conservative black who is in the unique position of voting for candidates who will not really do very much for him in any tangible sense?
Rex: Don’t tell me you didn’t know about this?
Uhh, no where does it show Coulter said “man”. So othre than the very basic fundamental premise of this item being wrong, good one!
Dugger, Is Coulter so Logical and Persuasive, you have to make up arguments you can refute?
*reads article about Clinton saying the House is run like a plantation* um, okay, clearly I’m too stupid to see the correlation. Her statement was an analogy on how the government is run by the party in power. Inarticulate perhaps, but you’ll note the actual real life no foolin’ blacks in attendance, Sharpton included, found not the slightest fault with it, and the ones screaming racism about it were the white republicans the comment was meant to denigrate, but thats a seperate discussion altogether. She’s not even saying “And you know what I’m talking about” because that would require the blacks in the audience have actually been slaves, and really they havent, so the analogy doesnt work. Clinton isnt saying she, a Senator, not a member of the House, knows what its like to be a black person, so… what was the point of that again?
Defending coulter on this just ridiculous. Really, to ever defend her is ridiculous. Just admit she’s a blot on your cause. Maybe a usefull blot to win elections, but a blot nonetheless.
“I love the smell of splitting hairs in the morning. It smells like… liberal foolishness.”
When a person (whoever they are), says “You know what I mean,” it means that person expects that they are on the same page as their audience. The fact that left - wing blacks didn’t disapprove speaks negatively for them, not positively for Sen. Clinton.
Frank - I see you’re in rare form today. First the attempt to conflate Hillary’s comment with Coulters… but the real coup de grace came with your post re: hairsplitting.
Thanx for the hearty guffaw(s)
rainlion: Yes, it was funny, wasn’t it? But I wasn’t attempting to “conflate Hillary s comment with Coulter’s”… I did it!
bfb: You don’t know the rules around here, do you?
Make your point, then insult me.
Let’s get that straight in the future.
And - you didn’t call me a monkey!
Your comment’s going up on the Bulletin Board, with a gold star on it.
Attaboy!
Yeah… See, you still jump through hoops on command like a well-trained circus monkey, saying the same predictable things in response to certain trigger words and phrases, but I’m spending less time laughing at you and more time feeling bad for you. I mean, how awful must it be to be Frank?
You know, there are other outlets for your energies. For example, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and helping out at a couple of local churches has done so much good for me–have you tried anything like that? But you really should do something, Frank. This behavior you’re engaged in now–it just ain’t healthy.
bfb — building house isn’t my thing. What I do when I’m not here is something that you are not going to find out by calling me monkey.
Of course, you may never find out –I’m not inclined to reveal the personal details of my life to obnoxious boors.
Oh, you mean that there’s a slim chance that I might yet learn more about the mysterious monkey? Whatever, save your breath. Shame that you’ve got nothing to add to a political discussion amongst adults. If you’re the best the Republican party can offer, I’m confident that your revolution is over. And what a terrible shame it is that an old soldier like yourself can have such scorn for his country and the freedoms that made her great. Goodbye, fool.
I’m still waiting for an actual comment from you, bfb. Don’t you know anything?
