Ann Coulter's latest piece of crap

[Initech]

I saw it in a bookstore today. It's called "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans". OK, reading the quotes on the back of it, I realized something. And that is this:

Ann Coulter is nothing more than the GOP equivalent of Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. I was flipping through her book looking for the phrase "DEMOCRATS ARE FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!". But at least Triumph is watchable, and funny. Ann Coulter isn't.

[Chulanowa]

1. She'd have to eat to poop

Given that she's made of broomsticks and baling wire, I don't think she manages the first part very often.

[11 Bravo]

2. I can't post on Coulter threads.

Every time I do, the urge to refer to her as a (word that will ALWAYS get your post deleted) becomes too strong. But she is one, anyway.

[Skittles]

3. she is a fucking repuke whore

yeah I said it

[Maestro]

35. Hello Skittles!

And I agree with your assessment!

[seriousstan]

4. It's OK, while the GLBT lobby has silenced your insult, I find on many threads it is still OK

to claim someone gay as an insult.

:sarcasm:

[Disturbed]

5. She is a shock comedian & laughs as she counts her $Millions.

The day when none pay her any attention is the day she will cry.

6. People are too sensitive here.

C'mon! It's a political forum. People WILL hurl insults and pejoratives. It's unavoidable. I'm sorry, but people need to grow a thick skin in this business.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Twat was that?

I coont hear you.... I have an ear infucktion?

:evilgrin:

[muffin1]

34. Same here

oh well, I guess I'll See You Next Tuesday.:)

[Catshrink]

7. I gleefully covered it up at Costco the other night

I put copies of Cesar Milan's new dog book over it. It seemed appropriate.

[AlCzervik]

8. i was at Costco today and they had about a brazillion of them.

doesn't look like she's moving too many books.

[backscatter712]

10. Normal people aren't buying them.

The reason why Coulter's books end up on the New York Times bestsellers list is because right wing groups buy them by the thousands, and leave them sit in boxes. It's to make the books seem more popular than they are.

In the same way, they're pushing money into Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and other propaganda outlets, the general idea being to saturate the public with their message, whether the public wants it or not.

[AlCzervik]

12. i know about the conservative book club, if they bulk buy shloudn't a dagger show

up next to her book title? Is this new one even on the list?

[Initech]

11. I have always wondered where Costco ships the stacks of unsold Coulter books.

They probably either ship them to the nearest recycling facility or the 99 cent bookstores you see off the interstate in outlet mall territory.

[AlCzervik]

13. most likely and they probably donate them--to who, i don't know.

[Initech]

15. Yeah, but if they donate them, who would take them?

I'm sure that if they donated them to homeless shelters, the homeless would have some great bonfire material.

[AlCzervik]

18. not a clue, maybe they use them in gitmo, like a PhysOps.

"Read this and do a 10 page book reports on it's positive attributes"

[Fridays Child]

9. I'll wait until the movie comes out...

...and then buy a ticket for something else.

[MrMickeysMom]

14. So true... The only thing Coulter's image is good for is winning a costume contest on Halloween

Just get a 6 foot something guy with a skinny build who could double as Napolean Dynomite or Tom Petty, dress him up in a Coulter wig and really short black cocktail dress.

Make sure when raising the arms the cocktail dress offers a little cocktail "Hello!" Probably someone's done this.

[backscatter712]

17. Hmm. My idea.

Put on a red dress, then a Xenomorph mask (y'know, the aliens from the Alien movies)

[Swamp Rat]

24. Be careful!

She might come after you and try to breed! :yoiks:

[backscatter712]

31. Heh, I've got the perfect solution.

Have a second guy with me, wearing a facehugger, and keep him on a leash. Tell everyone he's "my newest fan."

[TheUniverse]

16. You can't take her seriously

She makes her career in saying the most outrageous things possible in order to sell books. She is like the real life version of an internet troll.

[Skittles]

23. problem is she IS taken seriously by the media

she routinely shows up on high-profile shows which tends to legitimize her nuttiness in the eyes of the average sheep

[Az]

19. Ann Coulter's job

is simply to rile up the left. The right has long held the burden of being the emotionally reactionaries. Hate filled and quick to rile. They are sick to death of liberal explaining why they are wrong. So what Coulter does is simply say things that she knows will get our goats. And then when we turn into a spitting foaming at the mouth reactionary to her comments the conservative base gets to feel a sense of vengeance.

[MrMickeysMom]

21. ...

... Plus, it gives her a hard-on.

[rasputin1952]

20. Judging by the fact that R candidates seem to be chosen for

their ripeness in the vegetable bin, I can't see where any brains, or even concious thought is necessary to be a Republican...:shrug:

[me b zola]

29. "...ripeness in their vegetable bin..."

:rofl:

[iamjoy]

25. She Needs To Read Ann Coulter

I remember this book by this blond Republican called "Slander..."
Anyway, it seemed the gist of this book was that Liberals/Democrats couldn't argue rationally, so they just called Conservatives/Repubicans idiots, stupid, etc.

I must say, that point made a lasting impression on me and I have tried (although it is hard sometimes) to remain rational and not lose my temper when confronted with what I perceive can only be either idiocy or evil. I have tried to think of logical counterpoints.

Yeah, maybe she needs to read that book and think about what it was saying.

26. Coulter's latest piece of crap

isn't even NEW crap. The whole "book" is just an anthology of "snippets" from things she's already written. Can it be that this human cesspool is finally finding she has nothing left to flush out? How many more ludicrous, easily disprovable lies can there be left to tell about progressives? You can reframe the same set of accusations in different words just so many times-- finally your own fans even tire of it, and go seeking some new firebrand with a different twist on libelous insanity. I think Coulter has finally produced one book too many for her audience-- even the psycho-cons aren't interested any more.

27. Anthrax is not worth the effort

You will never ...

forget it... she's not worth my time...eom

[lpbk2713]

28. Who the hell would want to be a rethuglican?

Even rethuglicans don't want to be rethuglicans any more thanks to the damage done by all the GOP liars, thieves, and sex offenders. A lot of prominent rethugs say things are now in a FUBAR condition and they want to start a new party. Coultergeist is a lone voice shrieking in the wilderness. Damn shame, she used to be good for a laugh but she's not even funny any more.

[PlanetBev]

30. Good observation, EEO

She does remind me of Triumph the Insult Dog, but unlike Triumph, she is unfunny and her schtick grows old, boring and tiresome. She knows the gig is almost up, and terrified of her fading youth, she desperately clings to her last vestiges of fame.

She's the political version of the Gloria Swanson character in Sunset Blvd.

[Ganja Ninja]

32. Wow what a clever title.

It sounds like it was written by a 4th grader.

[backscatter712]

33. Did I hear this right?

Thom Hartmann once took a bunch of excerpts from Mein Kampf, made some very, very slight modifications (replaced "jew" with "liberal" and "Germany" with "America") in the text, and called it Ann Coulter's new book. Most people couldn't tell the difference.

At least that's what I was told by a friend who listens to Thom Hartmann regularly - I can't listen to his show that often on account of having to work.
