Coulter:"only 6,000" American soldiers will have to die in Iraq for 10 years without "another 9/11"

<snip>

Coulter was invited by the USC College Republicans to speak for Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week but all she really seemed interested in was selling her latest book, which apparently conflates defeating terrorists with taking out "liberals."

...

Terrorism is everywhere, and, the terrorists -- not unlike these "liberals," according to Coulter -- want to do nothing but kill Americans and their training ground is Iraq. To say that Iraq didn't attack America on 9/11 is to surrender to the terrorists, she added.

Her presentation was so disconnected and wrought with contradictions and fabrications attributed to imagined sources such as "Czech intelligence," with deliberately rhythmic punchlines, it seemed only natural for the rational part of one's brain to shut down and giggle along.

Perhaps most disturbing was Coulter's predilection for name-calling and self-serving statements which obfuscated any sense of humanity -- our troops in Iraq are mentioned only by number, as if they are merely expendable devices to protect the homeland and secure "victory." Casualties are going down, she said, adding that at this rate, "only 6,000" American soldiers will have to die in Iraq to assure us of 10 full years without "another 9/11."

1. Just

:puke:

[book_worm]

2. Hey Ann, why don't you volunteer to be one of them? didn't think so.

[Hubert Flottz]

3. Such a bargan Ann why don't you head on out to Baghdad!

Lots of luck you freak!

[GeminiProgressive]

5. God I wish this woman would die.

[Hubert Flottz]

9. I didn't think those things died!

Unless daylight hit them.

[quiet.american]

4. Does she own anything else besides that black dress?

Aside from everything else, I can't believe she thinks that's what's appropriate to wear for a college lecture.

[Hubert Flottz]

6. Where'd she park the pointy black hat and the high speed broomstick?

[madmom]

15. hey now, let's not be cruel to witches!!!!!

[Sequoia]

7. She sure has ugly stick legs.

[Hubert Flottz]

11. Her picture belongs in the dictionary beside the word...

UGLY! Or UGLY AS SHIT!

[Sequoia]

13. Totally.

[rodeodance]

8. I say a prayer for those in the audiance.---one balding young Repug

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. Note she doesn't even mention the number of Iraqi citizens who will die

I simply cannot wrap my mind around how she, and those like her, think.

People are not collateral damage, they're human beings.

[Rambis]

12. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week? WTF!

What in the blue bloody hell does that mean?

[sabra]

17. it's part of the Neocon plan in selling the next stage: bombing Iran

[iamthebandfanman]

14. oh ann

when will you ever learn .....


you know, she used to make me a lil angry but now i cant stop laughing at her.
i mean her whole basis of logic(or lack there of) is completely baseless.

to hear her speak with that overly confident "im so much smarter than you" tone that she has in her voice just makes me giggle.
so confidently wrong.
so lost. poor girl.

[Zywiec]

16. Great math: 6000 Soldiers die so 3000 American won't die in another 9/11? n/t

[tabasco]

32. Remember : soldiers are expendable fungibles to republicans.

"THEY VOLUNTEERED - - FUCK 'EM!!"

[zbdent]

18. I can almost hear the IQ points being destroyed just by being in the same room

as her when she's speaking ...

And these "college Republicans" will blame someone else when they flunk out and can't get their billion-dollar CEO positions ...

[dflprincess]

21. And any crowd that WANTS to hear what she has to say doesn't have many IQ points to lose.

n/t

[liberal N proud]

19. So why doesn't she step up and sacrifice for America?

Only 6000, what a bitch

[hiphopnation]

20. only 6,000!

alright! that's only, what, like 3,000 more? That's worth it, I think.

Wait, isn't that about the same amount of people that died on 9/11 ... wait a sec...this is giving me a headache.

Fuzzy math?!

[BR_Parkway]

22. she's not past the cut off age to enlist - and Ann, get a new dress

everyone's seen that one hundreds of times now.

[Initech]

23. Why don't they just start calling the war a crusade and get it over with?

:eyes:

[Bitwit1234]

24. I see coulter has the famous black cocktail dress on.

I suppose old ann the man can't wear a pantsuit, it might solidify the fact that .........

[GodlessBiker]

25. So it's going to cost us 6,000 lives to save another 2,700? Is that the numbers game she is playing?

[tjwash]

26. heh

[Mike Daniels]

27. Only 250 people bothered to attend her performance

I think there's your indication that her appeal has tapped out.

I've been in lecture halls that held more than 250 people. If that's the best Ann can do on a college campus then that piddly level of interest should be somewhat encouraging.

[bdamomma]

28. oh this bitch can't she just go away, and we should just put her on IGNORE.

because she is bat shit crazy.

[EOTE]

29. Wow, Clinton kept us 9/11 free for his entire term....

And he didn't need to kill any soldiers to do so. Things that make you go hmmmmm...

[WinkyDink]

33. Ummmm, so did everyone since December 8, 1941.

[Nickster]

30. I can't believe that people still show up to hear her blather. Is it that they are in awe, like when

one watches a fire? How can anyone listen to her speak and not feel anything but sadness for how removed from logic and reality she has become?

[Arkansas Granny]

31. And this sentence shows why Ann makes these appearances:

"...but all she really seemed interested in was selling her latest book..."

It's nothing but an endless sales pitch. The more outrageous her statements, the more free publicity she gets.

[spanone]

34. it's like inviting a hate crime to your campus

[Bright Eyes]

35. So when is she joining the Army?

[RebelSansCause]

36. we shouldn't be giving this woman any credence

by talking and posting her. but that girl is one hell of a crazy bitch. i think that she should go to iraq and enlist. hope you have fun their. i will be rooting for you. :sarcasm:

[sakabatou]

37. O RLY?

[NeedleCast]

38. This bitch is just truely off her nut

wow...wow.
