Has Ann Coulter actually told the truth?
Jeff Koopersmith says she has!
What is most interesting about her column this week is what she plays down. She makes only a single bigoted reference to Barack Obama in the opening paragraph of her rant:
The Democrats are trying to give away an election they should win in a walk by nominating someone with real problems -- like, for example, a first-term senator with a 100 percent rating from Americans for Democratic Action and whose middle name is "Hussein."
She tells us, without writing it, that she knows Romney is toast.

...

[Coulter also says y]ou need little flags like that for Republicans since, as we know from the recent unpleasantness in Florida, Republicans are unalterably stupid.
And there's more (including some hilarious Photoshopping). Read it all here.

1. To repeat the same talking points that faux news, and the false emails about Obama are "true"
only further infuriates me more in regard to what Clinton supporters, in a not so subtle way, have suggested

Let's have Bob Kerry and others from the Clinton campaign throw more inuendos out

If Clinton gets the nomination, and they expect Obama supporters to vote for her in the general election, THEY HAD BETTER WISE UP VERY QUICKLY

2. I think you miss the point:
Coulter is finally admitting that her target audience is a tiny minority of idiots -- along with most GOP voters who need to be spoon-fed what to hate and "why".

5. You are correct, I missed that point, and appreciate the correction
She also made an outrageous statement how she will support Hillary if mccain wins the republican nomination, because "Hillary is more conservative than mccain", which is of course a lie. coulter is a racist nut job in the same category as michael savage

Thanks for the clarifcation

7. Actually, Hillary IS more "conservative" than crazy JJ, and in a GOOD way...
... she and the Dems will balance the budget (something the GOP cannot do), stimulate the economy (just not with more trickle-down tax cuts for the rich, which don't work anyway -- besides, Dems in charge is ALWAYS good for Wall Street, and that included FDR), cut government down to size (dissolve the unneccessary Homeland Security Department into the Justice, State and Treasury Departments; eliminate the layer of bureaucracy and waste known as the Director of National Intelligence and put the CIA Director back in charge of intelligence; deprivatize and cut the waste).

In fact, that's starting to be a theme of the campaign: the GOP as the party of waste, fraud, culture of corruption, and Mob-style bust-out borrow-and-spend values. Embrace and turn 180 degrees the Right's campaign to turn "liberal" into a pejorative -- and stick the label on Bush and the Republican Congress.

9. I hear you. In the primaries you and I are probably backing two different candidates
In the General Election I have no doubt we will be backing the same candidate
