Coulter: Mideast nations are "George Bush's bitch"

[quaoar]

This is from an interview she gave to the New York Observer:

http://www.infowars.com/articles/us/coulter_nk_nuked.htm

Nuke North Korea?

"Right—and this is tied to my point that, in Iraq, let the Marines do their job. There may be some civilian casualties—that’s known as war. Americans can live with that. And when did we become the guardian of the world to prevent all civilian casualties, ever—how about our civilians?"

After we bomb North Korea, what’s the next country we should invade?

"Iran. Though that’s the beauty part of Iraq: It may well not be necessary. Because precisely what I’m saying with nuking North Korea—despite that wonderful peace deal Madeline Albright negotiated with the North Koreans, six seconds before they feverishly began developing nuclear weapons. They’re a major threat. I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."

What about Mecca?

"Seriously, I think the rest of the countries in the Middle East, after Afghanistan and Iraq, they’re pretty much George Bush’s bitch," she said. "I think they know we’re serious: We have a President who can do what he thinks is right, whether or not there are a bunch of liberals carping, and no matter what the letter writers to The New York Times have to say about being ashamed for their country."

1. What A Fucking Psychopath

Jeez -- people actually buy this woman's books? These people can't think of any other way to deal with problems other than bombs....no matter how obvious is that this strategy is failing miserably.

[tsuki]

18. And the NYT worries about what is written on DU? Priorities, guys.

[Neshanic]

23. Really. NYT interviews Ann seriously. We have issues?

[tuvor]

2. Why do we continue to pay attention to her?

She is to political analysis what Hulk Hogan is to professional sports.

She's a troll and a red herring.

Please stop feeding her. I know she's rail-thin, but please stop feeding her!

[complain jane]

6. I was just thinking the same thing

She's so Jerry Springer.

[foo_bar]

22. at least Jerry Springer was mayor

The child of Holocaust survivors, he earned a law degree at Northwestern University, then became a campaign adviser to Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Springer settled in Cincinnati, lost a race for Congress in 1970, and was elected to the city council a year later. He was only 27. He became a popular, outspoken, lefty leader--his first action was to propose a ban on the drafting of Cincinnati residents for the Vietnam War. He resigned in 1974 when he was fingered in a vice investigation--he had paid a prostitute with a check (duh). But a year later he ran for council again and won. In 1977 he was elected Cincinnati's mayor. Springer was an old-fashioned tax-and-spend liberal. He was a beloved figure around town, the smart young thing of Ohio politics. (He even read the New Republic!)

After a failed run for Ohio governor, Springer jumped to television. He delivered short commentaries at the end of local news broadcasts. He was brilliant: The minieditorials were concise, witty, and warm. He took over the news desk and soon became Cincinnati's most popular anchor. In 1991, he launched his own talk show. It was responsible and dull. As ratings sagged in 1994, Springer had a change of heart. Backed by a producer who'd worked at the Weekly World News, he went tabloid. The 1995 Jenny Jones Show-related murder chagrined the rest of the talk show world, but Springer filled the sleaze vacuum. He's descended the moral food chain--lawyer, politician, TV journalist, TV talk show host--and climbed the income ladder.

3. If the Democrats ever again regain the executive branch

the first thing they should do is USE the powers of the Patriot Act to declare Ann Coulter a terrorist and send her anorexic butt off to Guantanamo.

[Lostnote03]

19. WRT if the Dems?

....Maybe a wiping of the minutes when the GOP commercially endorsed the annointing of Rush an "honorary" member of the "House For A Day".......Now I hear about the "C'porate samples dejour" being served at the inauguration.....Reminds me of a "flea market" from Hell.....

4. funny she should use that word, I think of it everytime I hear her

name. she is a disgrace to women

[punpirate]

5. Here's a woman...

... in dire need of cult deprogramming. Who's up for it? :P

[complain jane]

7. You'd need some heavy duty vaccinations before approaching that skank.

May the force be with you, my child.

[punpirate]

15. Oh, my...

... I wasn't volunteering... I was hoping some other daring soul might attempt it.... :P

[rooboy]

8. I am totally convinced that this woman looks in the mirror

and laughs that people take what she says seriously. It's schtick and she knows it. Andy Kaufmann lives on.

[quaoar]

9. Just one reason to take her seriously

In george Bush's America, today's whacko idea (nuking North Korea and Iran) has a way of becoming tomorrow's foreign policy.

[Todd B]

10. Wow!

<i>"Right—and this is tied to my point that, in Iraq, let the Marines do their job. There may be some civilian casualties—that’s known as war. Americans can live with that. And when did we become the guardian of the world to prevent all civilian casualties, ever—how about our civilians?"</i>

Yes, because nuking an entire nation (North Korea or otherwise) wouldn't inflame the Muslim world and cause more attacks on American soil. Ever notice that the majority of people calling for the united states to nuke and destroy are always the ones that armchair quarterback and don't step up and enlist themselves.

We have a radio host here in Boston who, pretty much, thinks just like this interview with Ann Coulter - it's scary the way these people think.

[spotbird]

11. The real pathology is that the right thinks she

is the best they can do, and she is.

[Gman]

12. Anthrax Coulter suffers from some mental disorder

I'm not a psychologist or a psychiatrist but there has to be a diagnosis for this kind of behavior or disorder. She seems very preoccupied with violence to others that are not American and she must express those feelings in ways calculated to deliver shock value.

I know a lot of it has to do with her childhood:

"I can't believe you have me telling you this, but it is Coulter family folklore," she said, and then told her family myth about little Ann taking some stuff from her two older brothers and selling it back to them. "My parents wanted to encourage this incipient capitalism, so they gave my brothers a nickel to buy back whatever it was, and everyone thought it was cute until I took it all back again Š. One time was cute, the second time I was being a Democrat."

In any event, Coulter is mentally ill.

[dogman]

Yeah, he's got them on a leash.

We've seen the pictures.

[WildClarySage]

13. If this hobag thinks bombs are the answer

why hasn't she enlisted yet?

[Carolab]

14. AC is "Bush's bitch". n/t

[Union Thug]

16. Well, gee, Ann, you know what I think would be fun?

To see you dropped from a b52 into the Iraqi desert. Let's see how tough you talk then, you phoney little bitch.

[Old and In the Way]

17. Does she really think she speaks for America?

She apparently does speak for Bush. Is it me or is her rhetoric getting futher and further "out there"? The fact that this administration neither refutes nor distances themselves from her remarks tells me that her remarks are sanctioned, perhaps scripted to reset the boundries of acceptable discourse in this country. While her comments are outrageously extreme to us today, this may well become the RW mainstream talking points in the years to come.....

[shraby]

20. I would like to know why ANY newspaper

will condescend to interview her. She's an abomination, and hate talk like that shouldn't have any air or print time. It tends to incite more hate crimes.

[Union Thug]

30. "scripted to reset the boundries..."

BINGO!

This has been a strategy the right has successfully utilized since at least Ray-gun.

[moggie12]

21. This is great -- she exposes herself as a total nut-job

Has she said stuff as crazy as this in her books??

[Neshanic]

24. She's got some 'splaining to do....what's with all the sexual stuff Ann?

[Jackie97]

25. If I wasn't a feminist....

I'd say that Ann Coulter is *ours*.

What is she anyway? The pretty female version of Fred Phelps? Fred Phelps is a little bit on the ugly side, but it's okay if a skinny little blond does it.

[theresistance]

26. I'm not sure which is worse - her or MSM liars

who facilitate her psychotic trash talk.

[d_b]

27. Reading her bullshit is more comical than anything else

[hector459]

28. I don't like her but she is right for now. If the other countries don't

get their acts together and stand down the psycopath occupying the WH, the rest of the world is essentially GWB's bitch.

[snippy]

29. What sort of creature raised this person? n/t

[AP]

31. So is the American working class. In fact America's future is Bush's bitch

and it's getting fucked and pimp slapped and demeaned daily by Bush.

[leesa]

32. Does she know we are losing all the wars her Fuhrer started?

[IndyPriest]

33. It's a little early in the day for S&M, isn't it? lol! n/t
