1. Assuming she has sex at all, one would suppose it is for recreation,
not procreation (if it's hetero).

2. She is a sick cookie...
And once upon a time in America, people like her wouldn't have been given the time of day, much less a forum to spout their sick, twisted views all the time.

3. If anyone were to say that about Bush or other Repubs
The men in black would come swooping in so quick it would make your head spin.

Ann the Man says it and it's a joke. Nice.

16. I don't think that's quite what Virtue Boy said.
Let's keep it honest here.

25. That's exactly what Bennett said in racist "Code Talk"
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 01:45 PM by BrotherBuzz
“If you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” - William Bennett

Understand the context of this statement: There was a study recently that attributed the drop in violent crime over the last ten years to the availability of legal abortion. The idea is that because people have fewer unwanted children, there are fewer people who are growing up with the severe emotional baggage of not being wanted by their parents. Fewer emotionally maladjusted young people therefore has led to less crime, the theory suggests.

Notice that the study said nothing about black people.

So why did Bill Bennett mention black babies in particular?

It seems that Bill Bennett assumes that it’s the black babies that are making all the problems. Apparently, in Bill Bennett’s mind, if you abort all the black babies, you get a drop in crime. If you abort all the white babies, there’s no drop in crime, however.

Bill Bennett said later that, of course, aborting all black babies is a reprehensible idea. But, he said the reason it’s reprehensible is that abortion is wrong. He never repudiated the idea that getting rid of black people in particular would be the best way to reduce the crime rate.

27. Yes and no
Everything your wrote is accurate --

except it's NOT "exactly" what he said (you got the quote right -- the other poster did not), and I also question that study is what he was referring to. Rather, most rightwingers who say that blacks are responsible for most of the crime in this country do so because most of the people arrested, tried, convicted and incarcerated are black. They don't happen to recognize that there could be any racism involved in those stats.


I also seriously doubt that Bennett actively 'wants' black babies aborted. His racism, like most of the racism on the right (and plenty on the left, I'll add) is underground -- it's subconscious racism. Trent Lott can say quite truthfully (probably) that he "doesn't believe that blacks are inferior to him," and he probably DOESN'T think that way consciously. But SUBconsciously, that kind of belief is all over the place. That's what racism is all about: not a single conscious belief, but deep-seated beliefs that end up affecting policy and rules and regulations and institutions and social mores and so forth and so on through every facet of our lives.

8. If that's a joke, what's funny about it?
Con humor is always mean-spirited and violent, and rarely funny.

10. Crack problem gone away?
snip

"...She drew more boos when she said the crack cocaine problem "has pretty much gone away."

I'm sure in her mind it has....as in it used to be hard for her to get crack cocaine but now it isn't. :eyes:

11. Her value system can be explained in one word:
HATE. She embodies the culture of hate, corruption, and the politics of personal destruction. She's hideous.

15. Read the story
Where's the CNN connection? Did they run a clip of it?

Or are you asserting Coulter's on the payroll? If so, could you please post a link to verification of that fact? It would be extremely valuable in continuing to hammer CNN for its Foxification, along with Bingo Billy Bennett and Glenn Beck.

a regular guest.

24. And MSRNC and Faux and PBS...
She's on the "A-List" of wingnut shills to bring on the wingnut hate shows, but she's not under contract to any of those networks. It's bad enough CNN does pay Betamillion Bennett, Tori "Machine Gun" Clark, Bay "Do bad the house didn't stay dropped" Buchanon and almost Democrats like Donna Brazille.

That makes her a CNN commentator in my book.

23. What would the reaction be if say oh I don't know
Paul Begalia said that someone should put rat poison in say Clarence Thomas, Tony Scalia's or Robert's creme brulee? The MSM's would go nuts - now I don't watch the MSM are they going nuts over Coulter's remark - doubt it

26. She's sick! This isn't the first time that she has talked about
killing or hurting people she doesn't like. Saying it's a joke doesn't make it so. I think she's serious at lot of the time and is hoping someone like John Hinckley might pick up the idea and run with it.

30. My Theory About Neocons
I think they were all bullies in school. It's a political movement for bullies who liked the fear they brought out in people when they were kids. I bet Coulter probably beat up the other kids all the time. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
