Back during the Republican clown car parade the Freepers practically disowned her for supporting Romney.
I suspect the people who support her income by bulk-buying her books wanted her to nudge her fanboys back towards the reservation.


And what a sign of the state of conservativism when Coulter is the relatively (with heavy emphasis on "relative&quot reasonable one.

Coulter is going to be on the the powerhouse round-table debate panel part of the show which gives her a level of respect she doesn't deserve but then again, she does represent a huge part of the Republican party (meaning she's f-ing nuts).

Now you're a corporate mouthpiece.

I was there when you came out to California to help out one of the most ethical and decent Democrats that ever graced Congress, the late Walter Capps. I organized an event for you and Walter, and have so many great photos of you as a happy, positive, optimistic, champion of what is good in American politics. Losing Congressman Capps was so painful, and to see people like you become the 1%, giving quarter to an abomination of hate like Coulter, makes it worse as i worry that decent people in politics will NEVER get a voice. What a sell out.

like to add any more of your personal experiences with him and George S., I'm sure many of us would be interested. I've long been mystified by George's complete capitulation to the powers that be. I suppose it's just the siren song of money. Sometimes the most simple explanations are the correct. He's fallen so far in my estimation that it didn't even occur to me as a remote possibility that he would ask Coulter a challenging question.

However, this is the time to keep both her and Bible Barbie in the news, especially with lots of video and photographs.

Age is starting to gallop up on both of them and when their looks are gone, they'll both be gone.

Republicans are exceptionally unforgiving of any female who's had too many birthdays.

32. ABC news is propaganda, there's no use in watching it
Sun Aug 5, 2012, 01:52 AM

I post the definition of propaganda at least once a week so people can learn from it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

---Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the chosen result in audience attitudes.

As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.---

Way to go ABC. I'm sure your website hits and ratings will increase and you'll just have more nutty people on to fund your pathetic newstainment organization.

If there's a bright side, at least Coultergeist makes conservatives look stuuuuupid.
