Deutsch on Coulter's 'Big Idea' Comments

[RamboLiberal]

"Candidly, I had her on not to talk about politics but to talk about her brand strategy," Deutsch said. "Whether you like her or not, her strategy is to be extreme and that's a way to make money. But because it's her, it drifted into politics.

"I simply asked her a question, something like, 'If the world was her way, what would it look like?' And she said something to the effect that everybody would be Christians. I was somewhat baffled and asked if that meant there would be no Buddhists or Jews and I think her words were, 'perfected' Jews .

"I was offended. And then, and this was interesting, she started to back off and seemed a little upset."

Asked to gauge her reaction, Deutsch said, "I think she got frightened that maybe she had crossed a line, that this was maybe a faux pas of great proportions. I mean, did it show ignorance? Anti-Semitism? It wasn't just one of those silly things.

"But I didn't really service it. It's not the show I'm doing now. I think I handled it well, but it's started to circulate and take on a life of its own.

Going on Deutsch is kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel in audience numbers IMHO. I wonder if except for Faux if maybe Coulter is not getting bookings on network and bigger cable shows?

1. Shorter Deutsch

"I invited a skunk on my show and kicked it right in the spray glands; how was I to know it would stink up the joint?"

Pretty weak rationale for having this hate-monger on his show.

3. BTW, Her "brand strategy" Is Not Extreme. It's Fringe and Dumb.

Yes, she gets a lot of attention, but not the kind that will benefit her in the long run. She's a flame throwing hate mongerer who will be cut off from mainstream media access. Yes, Hannity will have her on his show, but no one else will. Thus, her books will be harder and harder to promote and sell.

5. Her "brand strategy"? There's confusion about that? Outright hatred and bigotry...
