Whoopi Schools Coulter: "Well tell me what you know about being black"

As Coulter started to discuss her book, Goldberg grew seemingly frustrated.

"What are you talking about?" she demanded. Coulter attempted to continue, but Goldberg cut her off.

"Oh you know what, hold up Ms. Coulter, please stop. Please stop," Goldberg said. "If you are going to talk about race, at least, at least, know what you're talking about."

"What don't I know?" Coulter asked.

"Well tell me what you know about being black," Goldberg said. "Your facts are a little shaky. I mean, you're saying that because liberals have abandoned black people now—what? I don't get it. I don't understand."

This election cycle I have really begun to take issue with the shows just going for the sensationalists to bump their ratings. So any show who would invite an inflammatory dirtbag to appear when they know all the dirtbag knows how to do is stir up trouble is not a show I will watch no matter how much I may like the hosts.

built by space aliens with a none-too-solid grasp on the details of human anatomy. The "brain" is certainly an ill-programmed thing.

Secondly, ideology and party are not the same thing, Ann. Democratic segregationists were not liberals. They were reactionaries.

Why do people give this woman a mic?

Coulter more than suggests democrats have turned their collective backs on African Americans, and Republicans stand ready to carry the torch for minorities. Never mind the facts, and how the GOP has taken every opportunity to take black people back to 1957, take Ann's word for it.

The same goes for Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps. Republicans claim that if they're allowed to rewrite the rules, everybody will be healthier, wealthier, and well nourished. Never mind that the GOP has worked feverishly for decades to dismantle those projects, take their word for it now.

How long before Ann Coulter, when discussing the plight of beleaguered minorities, begins using the word "we"? She's already implying it.
