Coulter Coldly Dismisses Idea That She's Bad For The GOP

[CatWoman]

During Ann Coulter's question and answer session at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, one young attendee asked the brash author the question on most political observer's minds: was her impetuous style really helping the Republican cause?

It was a slightly awkward moment for the audience, which drowned out the second half of the question with shouts of "yes" (as in, yes she helps the GOP). And Coulter quickly and coldly dismissed the questioner, a conservative himself, by telling him to, essentially, stop talking.

QUESTIONER: A couple weeks ago you made an appearance on... TV's The View. You compared Barbara Walters reading your book 'Guilty' to a reading of Mein Kampf. I just want to ask that your style of self-expression is advantageous to the Republican cause? And if not... because it is no secret to anybody that you definitely know how to stir a deep pot with a long spoon.

COULTER: Okay, I got the question. The answer is yes. I mean that is a perfect example of this insane phenomenon that I describe in my book: people playing victims to achieve some advantage. What, you're not allowed to cite Mein Kampf? Is that the new rule? Because someone better tell the New York Times book review.

QUESTIONER: I just thought because there is another side to that...

COULTER: No, no. We got the question. Step away from the mic.

In the halls of CPAC, of course, Coulter is queen; the line to get into her speech has only been matched by the crowd that rushed to hear Mitt Romney. So the temerity to question her utility to the GOP falls somewhere just short of sedition. But not everyone in the audience was a devout Coulter apostle.

"She is excellent for rallying support among the college generation," said Eric Allen, an Ohio Republican in college himself. "It's similar with Rush Limbaugh. I don't agree with everything they have to say. Mainly Rush. Some of his over-the-top remarks are counterproductive in that they give the other side ammunition."

3. Keep getting your message out, Ann. It helps us on election day

Do the math, Ann. Even a simpleton like yourself can see what's happened to your ilk at the ballot box.

4. Coulter. Limpballs. KKKarl Rove....

Please keep being the "new" face of the puke party. Please, please, purty please.

We've seen the new face of the pub party, sarah palin and booby jindal. Old, new, old new. what to do!

It's freakin' hillarious.

5. Umm, college repub Eric Allen, theres a war over in Iraq to get your

"patriotic" butt over to

6. Coulter's snivel and whiny half-witted screed is only matched by her abyssmal plagiarism

If she thinks she's hot shit and wants to make an ass out of herself, she should continue helping the Republican party be seen as mean, hateful and snide. Between her and Rush, I don't know who better serves the succes of the Democratic party. Unlike all the other GOP blowholes in the mainstream media, at least she finished college.

7. Ann Coulter's whole shtick, summarized quickly for you:

"What IS this with all these people in the world getting to play the victim?? I'm sick of other people playing the victim!! What gives THEM the right to play the victim?? It's not FAIR that they get to play the victim--because I'M THE VICTIM!! Look at ME!! I'M the REAL VICTIM!!!!"

9. Awesome, Ann...keep up the good fight!

I dismiss the idea that she's bad for them, too. In fact, I think they should run her for office. :evilgrin:

10. Sweet Jeezuz...does she not realize in a perfect Republican world

she would be in a red dress flat on her back with her mouth sewn shut so that only a straw could be shoved in there?

And if she could not reproduce, she would be part of a public sideshow either executing her or banning her to the badlands where she would survive all of about 15 minutes?

Stupid, stupid woman.

11. Ann Coulter

Is a disgusting Rabid Right Rethug. She slimes everyone and everything she disagrees with. Al Gore is a “total fag” and another one-time presidential candidate, John Edwards, is the same. She calls the Democratic Party “gutless traitors” and the NC was a “Spawn of Satan” gathering.

To her Muslims are “ragheads” and America should “kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” Jews are people who need to be “perfected.”

For someone so supposely anti terrorist, how does she reconcile this with her view that The New York Times building and its editorial staff should be bombed or that Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens should have “rat poisoning” mixed into his food?

A stupid dirty bigot of fail. She most definitely represents the modern Republican brand.

12. Coulter just embodies what the GOP message is.

She is the accumulation of the bitterness the GOP uses to control it's sheep.

Ann Coulter is not bad for the GOP it is their tactics of division which is bad for the GOP.

13. The Blind Man and the Elephant

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant~(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation~Might satisfy his mind.

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side, ~ At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant ~ Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, "Ho! what have we here?
So very round and smooth and sharp? ~ To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant ~ Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands, ~ Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant ~ Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like ~ Is mighty plain," quoth her;
"'Tis clear enough the Elephant ~ Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most; ~ Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant ~ Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail ~ That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant ~ Is very like a rope!

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion ~ Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right ~ And all were in the wrong!

Moral

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

-John Godfrey Saxe

14. Mann Coulter should go and seek help...some therapy....her hateful speech laced with BS is appalling

[Vektor]

15. I would call her the "C" word if we were allowed to say that here.

She is so fucking foul, bitchy, and nasty that looking at her venomous face is like being sprayed in the eyes with acid. What a waste of life.

Clearly the guys asking the question touched a nerve with ol' hatchet face. She knows she's useless.

[northernlights]

16. naw, the GOP should dump Rush & make Coulter their leader

:rofl:

[genna]

17. What made that young woman stand up?

I thought Republicans only took the party line message.

Why didn't the HuffPo person asks them about this breach in party unity?

[shaniqua6392]

18. Coulter...Limpballs...Rove, etc. are the gift that just keeps on giving!!!

This could not be going better if we had planned it ourselves. They are the face of the Republican Party now. I hope they all keep talking and getting lots of media attention. I am giddy with joy every time I see one of them in the media!!
