Media Matters for America: Is NBC going to help Coulter sell this book?

As Media Matters for America has noted, author and syndicated columnist Ann Coulter recently announced that she is scheduled to appear on the January 6 broadcast of NBC's Today to promote the release of her new book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, which Media Matters obtained in advance of its January 6 release. Media Matters has documented that NBC has repeatedly provided Coulter a platform to spew her inflammatory rhetoric even as NBC-affiliated hosts and anchors have expressed disapproval of her statements or criticized the media for promoting her. Coulter's latest book is rife with such inflammatory and offensive comments.

Examples of such comments from Guilty include the following:

* Coulter says the Democratic primaries were a contest of "Who's the Biggest Pussy?":

Liberals' hysterical obsession with the "Republican Attack Machine" turns Democratic primaries into a contest of: "Who's the Biggest Pussy?" Although I would have voted for "All of Them," inasmuch as none of the Democrats could face questions from Fox News's Brit Hume, the winner turned out to be Obama. Hillary claimed to be a victim of Republicans, while Obama claimed to be a victim of Republicans, Hillary, and racists. (Page 79)...

* Coulter calls children whose parents divorce "future strippers" in a chapter titled "Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother":

In any event, divorced mothers should be called "divorced mothers," not "single mothers." We also have a term for the youngsters involved: "the children of divorce," or as I call them, "future strippers." It is a mark of how attractive it is to be a phony victim that divorcées will often claim to belong to the more disreputable category of "single mothers." (Page 36)

Later in the chapter, Coulter writes: "Single motherhood is like a farm team for future criminals and social outcasts." (Page 38)...

* Coulter claims that Obama, actress Halle Berry, and musician Alicia Keys "race baited their way to success":

Even grifters know that to be embraced by the cool people in America, you must claim to be a victim, preferably abused by religious fundamentalists.

In a related phenomenon, various half-black celebrities insist on representing themselves simply as "black" -- the better to race-bait their way to success. Actress Halle Berry, singer Alicia Keys, and matinee idol Barack Obama were all abandoned by their black fathers and raised by their white mothers. But instead of seeing themselves as half-white, they prefer to see the glass as half-black. They all choose to identify with the fathers who ditched them, while insulting the women who struggled to raise them....

* Coulter calls former White House press secretary Scott McClellan "retarded"....

* Coulter calls Newsweek contributing editor Eleanor Clift a "braying left-wing slattern"....

***

* Discussing former Virginia Sen. George Allen's calling S.R. Sidarth -- a volunteer who was videotaping Allen for James Webb, Allen's Democratic opponent in 2006 -- "macaca," Coulter refers to Sidarth and other campaign trackers as "little Nazi block-watchers"....

1. Being batshit crazy sells. Yet, I'm still stunned they'd have this hate monger on. nt

[Cha]

2. Rec'd~ If nbc got enough

feedback they might get a clue that it is the so called Liberals who are in Charge now.

I hope their viewership is way down on Jan 6 and the pissmonster is left ratting around with the venomous mat lauer.

3. Ann Coulter's new book: "I'm A Dried-Out, Washed-Up Old Harpy Who

Subsists Entirely On Various Prescription Medications And I'm Pissed My Party's Usual Tactics Of Fear And Smear Didn't Work, So I'm Consoling Myself With A Bottle Of Stoli And Writing This Book Which Calls All Democrats Mean Stupid Doodyheads."

4. She loves to slam marriage and children -

Since she has Never been married and has no children..... that makes her an expert. Right?

She's just a whore for money. Will say anything for attention.

5. Of course they are.. just as C-span gives all the free air time it can to

Jerome Corsi & his nonsensical diatribes
The Heritage Foundation
CATO
Eagle Forum
The Husdon Institute
AEI

Probably 8 out of 10 times, when I turn c-span on, someone from one of these groups is blabbling on about how it's all the LIBruls' fault..

Not too long ago they gave Corsi THREE hours..:grr:

I caught a bit of what he was saying the other day and he commented that he has spent 2000 hours on TV, promoting this latest piece of trash he's selling.. I would bet most of what I have, that he was PAID to show up for most of those "appearances", and at least NEVER paid for any of the free advertising he got from those 2000 hours:(

6. Oh, you betcha they are!

She's tanned, rested, ready and,,,,,, baaaaaa-aaaaack.

Because calling liberals traitors---anti American---terrorist loving Nazis is all good fun for Conservative pundits and TV executives. The TODAY Show really, really loves her no matter what she says.

In any event, divorced mothers should be called "divorced mothers," not "single mothers." We also have a term for the youngsters involved: "the children of divorce," or as I call them, "future strippers." It is a mark of how attractive it is to be a phony victim that divorcées will often claim to belong to the more disreputable category of "single mothers."

She also attacks Michelle Obama as well.

Coulter facetiously and snidely refers to Michelle Obama as a "saint" and "Mother Teresa" and suggests that her public service career "advanced in lockstep with the political advancement of her husband."

And of course she uses Obama's name for enjoyment:

In the book, Coulter repeatedly refers to the President-elect as "B. Hussein Obama" and complains that the media "literally wanted to have sex with him."

Yup. I'll bet Chris Matthews will be giving her a full hour soon to spew her garbage. It wouldn't be so bad if the anchors actually exposed Coulter's lunacy to the American audience, but that happens so rarely now that they are making her appear like a normal cog in our society these days. So sad....

.....

Should any network give a voice to this piece of crap? Well maybe it will bring us together - sarcasm

10. the Left will get NOWHERE, until it gets it's hands on at least 1 Major TV network

11. This kind of thing

is why I don't watch morning or daytime TV. An utterly craven waste of time, sold to the highest bidder, no matter the content.

Life's too short to expose my beautiful mind to that kind of crap.

Oh, and kudos to my heroine, Babs, for the paraphrase of her notorious quote:

[lamp_shade]

12. I recently saw an old picture of Ziggie Stardust (David Bowie).

The resemblance to Coulter is uncanny. Really.

[Berry Cool]

13. "Now wait just a darned second here," says this "future stripper"...

...I gotta question Ann's otherwise impeccable logic here.

She says all "single mothers" raise children who are destined to become strippers, criminals and social outcasts (although somehow my sisters and I have failed to become any of these)--yet she also castigates Halle Berry, Alicia Keys and Barack Obama for choosing to identify with the fathers who ditched them, while insulting the women who struggled to raise them...right?

Well, gosh, why should they NOT insult those women, who presumably raised them to become the strippers, criminals and social outcasts they so obviously are? I mean, isn't being a single mother as bad as being a ditching dad?

And, of course, Ann is an expert on families, being a happily married woman with children herself. Um, yeah, sure, you betcha, as Sarah Palin would say. :eyes:

[InvisibleTouch]

16. I caught that contradiction too...

...just from the brief outtakes in this thread. The woman is crazy, pure and simple, but I think her era has passed. Just let her yell into the wind until she realizes no one's listening anymore. Just like the country was turned off by the negative mud-slinging campaigning of the rethugs, people are moving on into the future, rather than being held back by hate and bigotry.

19. The Holy Book of Pure Evil

I didn't know Stormfront was into book publishing. :shrug:

[merh]

20. What a loon!

I find it remarkable how the right has gone over the edge - so many have become raving lunatics, or rather, they can no longer hide their insanity.

[treestar]

21. Stupid fascist

Does she realize we have freedom of speech and can call them single mothers or whatever we want to call them? Or just mothers, if we want to? All without victimizing poor little Anne.

The right are the ones always claiming to be victims. It's surprising they expect us to feel sorry for them because they can't be racists/sexists or whatever without someone liberal "victimizing" them by saying something about it.
