Ann of a thousand lies


"we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

-Ann Coulter, Sept 12th 2001-

Ann Coulter: she has all the sincerity of a computer generated animation and she laughs as though she were reading from a script. It’s hard to vilify her sufficiently and it’s difficult to say anything nasty about her that isn’t an understatement. I often watch Bill Maher’s show, yet It was with great difficulty that I allowed the image of that Cloroxed cockroach into my home last night.

“”God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"--- Ann Coulter on Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

I enjoy picking apart fallacies, but I can’t dignify her words as being such – they are simply lies and lies told so quickly and in such volume that even Bill Maher missed the biggest ones. In trying to show, for example, that “Liberals” hate Black people, Coulter cited the Butterfly Ballot fiasco of the 2000 election which she claimed had been blamed by them on dumb blacks in Palm Beach County. Of course the truth is that Katherine Harris and the Republicans had blamed it on dumb Jews unable to follow instructions while the Democrats blamed it on crooked, white Republicans. As we know, the election was flawed because the Republican Harris laid out the ballots contrary to regulations and illegally took tens of thousands of black people off the voter rolls.

"People like you caused us to lose that war."
Ann Coulter - To a disabled Vietnam vet: on MSNBC

I recently read Freakonomics and recently enough that I remembered that it made several statistical links between poverty and Crime: something that machine gun of mendacity Coulter denied the existence of last night. When asked by Maher whether that link existed, she claimed the “Liberal” book had linked being black with being a criminal. As Maher was reduced to stammering, she outflanked him with another barrage of high speed lies.

Coulter, who in 1997 said on Politically Incorrect that all laws passed since before the Emancipation Proclamation should be repealed, lies so fast and lies so often and lies so boldly, no one can keep up. Because catching her in any lie generates a flood of other lies, it’s only possible to refute all of them in writing and so even with quick witted Maher, most of her shots get through unchallenged. Still, by the fact that he asked people not to boo; that he failed to call her the vicious, amoral, psychopathic liar that she deserves to be called, Maher failed us badly.

"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism." --Ann Coulter - MSNBC 2/8/97--

I don’t believe in a Devil as an entity, but with Coulter around, he’s superfluous anyway.

Ann Coulter is colt-ish.

Seriously, she is mentally ill. What she says is no different than the venom that Hitler spewed, but somehow it is okay. I don't throw around the term lightly, but anyone who supports that satan-worshipper is a nazi.

The sickest thing is the way the media treat her with respect. Once again we don't acheive balance by allowing the unbalanced unlimited license to lie slander and libel.

Intellectual Insurgent said...

It's not about balance unfortunately. It's about a circus act to keep the American public distracted from real issues. That b*&ch gets press precisely because she has nothing of substance to say.

The Republican answer to bread and circuses? I can't help thinking of Coulter in the Colluseum with a troop of angry baboons. . . . .

Can we feed her to the lions?

Capt. Fogg said...

Probably not enough meat to interest a lion, but even a jackal would spit her up.
