New interview with Ann Coulter: Liberalism is a mental defect.
OK, just for your edification, and amusement, a fawning interview with Ms. Coulter. Draw your own conclusions. I was interested in noting that her favorite book is the Holy Bible. Whatta great Christian she is! Anyway, enough editorializing; I know this is a waste of your time, but couldn't resist posting this burning hatred for those who can take it. Here's an excerpt, and the link, and forgive me for bringing this garbage to your attention:

FP: No neurotic incidents to turn you into a liberal? Would you, then, argue that leftism/liberalism is ultimately, in most cases, the depersonalization and politicization of personal neuroses?

AC: Pause for a moment to consider the probable mental state of Howard Dean and then ask me that question again. Yes, of course liberalism is a mental defect. Liberals are wracked by self-loathing as the result of some traumatic incident -- say, driving drunk off a bridge with your mistress passed out in the back seat and letting the poor girl drown because you're a married man and a U.S. senator, just to take one utterly random, hypothetical example off the top of my head.

1. Couterism is a physical defect...


Characterized by a gargantuan Adam's Apple on females...

3. Coulter is a sociopath
She probably kicks puppies when no one is looking.

4. Ann C. proves that being a woman with a huge Adam's Apple.....
is a traumatic enough circumstance to turn a person into a raving lunatic.

32. You know,
I was just mentioning this to a friend. I was curious to see if she was a transgender, because there is certainly nothing suggesting an iota of femininity in her whole body. Even Gloria Steinem and other such feminists had some aura of being female.

33. Maybe because Gloria Steinem actually IS a woman.
Anndrew, on the other hand...

5. She's the perfect American.
'Love of God and country'

More like 'Rule of God over country'.

... would know about mental defects, since she so obviously suffers from one.

9. Hey! I said it was garbage.
But, it's an interview with someone who DUers love to hate, and respond to. I check out FrontPageMag to see how close we are getting to the end of free speech, and the start of the camps. An illuminating site for that, if nothing else.

8. She's a self proclaimed Controversialist
A shock jock of the worst sort, and all her stuff is old news rehashed into different wrappings. She continues because she is discussed on forums like this.
DON'T CLICK THE LINK!! is like 'don't feed the animals'
it encourages them.

10. Ann
This weekend I read the first half of "Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" by Al Franken (did I get that title correct?). Well, I think he does a great job of doing what Ann says is undo-able--totally discrediting everything Ann has to say.

Silly me. I believe in things like "reality" and "truth"!

I bet this lady makes a good living as a media whore. But then I'm slandering that profession, aren't I?

Actually people like Ann, and Rush, and Sean, and their ilk are the best thing we have going for us! I think we need to learn to work these whores a little better, that's all. And I recommend Franken's book to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

11. Funny... I don't remember seeing Liberalism
as a diagnosable disorder in the DSM-IV-TR; and I seriously doubt it's in the ICD-10.

30. the reason
The reason she exists and acts the way she does is because the Republicans had a 'party of the rich' image problem.

She's rich (dad was an anti-union corporate lawyer), but this is the sort of thing they think resonates with people who don't have money.

David Brock's book hints that some of those people don't even believe what they're saying. She's in it just to make a buck. Like Rush the drug abuser, they're all hypocrites - conservative morality is for the unwashed, not for them.

Unfortunately some 'NASCAR Dads' fall for this hustle and give people like her & Rush their money.

14. Jerry Rubin said the same thing about convservatism
It was a long time ago, but he said that right-wing politics was a mental illness or a neurosis.

Does anyone remember that? How many even remember who he was?

15. She tried to get on a plane with a bullet.
Post 9-11, anorexic Annie tried to board a plane with a bullet keychain which was confiscated by airport security. For at least a month afterwards, she wrote one scathing article about airlines after another.

She tried to get on a GD plane with a bullet! She's seriously out of touch with reality and that's exactly why con's like her, so they don't have to focus on their own cognitive dissonance.

19. Her rantings are a hallmark symptom of anorexia.
Relatives of anorexic victims can testify that virulent, viscious outbursts such as those regularly spewed by Anndy are part and parcel of the insidious mental illness, anorexia.

Could be. That's a very natural reaction.

18. I hate her
She's right up there with Hannity as a person who I fucking hate with a passion. Naturally, she's a hypocrite. You know her schtick about liberals using name-calling because they cannot win arguments, yet she always does it, as in this compelling exchange:

FP (Front Page): And what do you think are the implications and significance of us succeeding in capturing this (Saddam Hussein) scoundrel?

BC (Bitch Coulter, and yes, I am resorting to name calling): It's really no more significant than the arrest of, say, Adolf Hitler would have been in 1945. It's great because it's separated the Democratic Party into two distinct camps: Your garden-variety losers and your genuine nut-bar conspiracy theorists like Madeline Albright.

with her and her kind if we take the opposite position, we know we've found the truth.

A psychological disorder as well?

23. A mental defect? Well, I suppose that's true...
if you define "defect" as "substantial variance from the norm or expected". I suppose using that criteria, the enhanced intelligence and enlightenment of liberals compared to the rest could be considered a "defect". ;)

is the standard by which 'normal' is judged, I am happy to suffer a mental defect.

26. I say give this woman all the media attention she can get.
This is the time for it. The whole conservative house of cards is collapsing in the court of public opinion, whether the network news covers it or not.

Hold her up for everybody to see. She does more to discredit the conservative movemement than anyone on the left could ever do.

31. Dear Annie Fanny, she never fails to prove what a stupid
jackass she is and that is a real mental defect. The fact that she blames liberals for everything reminds me of Hitler blaming the Jews for all the problems Germany had before he took power. He also considered Jews mentally defective as well.

That's right, your favorite Liberal versus the the Psycho-harpy Queen of Anorexia. I would love to see Franken tear Coulter a new one.

Does anyone know if this will be broadcast on C-SPAN, like the Booksellers Free-For-All?
