Coulter Would Campaign for Clinton over McCain
Posted on Feb 1, 2008

Okay, so clearly Ann Coulter is not above leaning heavily on hyperbole to raise a few eyebrows and sell a few books, but this time she even managed to shock us a little with her announcement on Fox’s Hannity & Colmes that she’d go to bat for Hillary Clinton if she’s up against John McCain for the presidency, because, Coulter said, Clinton’s “more conservative” than McCain.

When her hosts at Fox News managed to pick their jaws up off the floor and press her on that point, though, Coulter made it clear that her startling endorsement had less to do with a sense of connection with Clinton and her platform than it did with Coulter’s extreme disdain for McCain.

1. She'd look great slogging around the NYC sewer system with a bullhorn

Go for it, you dried up old hooker.

16. Great image! I'd love to throw rotten eggs at her!

[underpants]

18. She's been so quiet I assumed she had been in rehab

but after reading this I would forecast a early summer "visit" for the whisper thin battleaxe

[Dr.Phool]

2. Coulter is an opportunist, and a lousy right-wing entertainer.

But, the stopped clock might just be right. I think Clinton is nearly as conservative as McCain.

6. funny how people will now agree with Coulter..

...when it will suit them (to bash Hillary)...even though time after time after time after time Coulter been proven a liar, and just a hateful person, without a shred of decency

[LostinVA]

8. Bingo -- they're all ready doing it

And, I bet more would have if Skinner hadn't posted down thread.

15. works both ways..surely you've seen the threads where Obama

has been accused of being a closet rightwinger because of the NY Post endorsement? Some horrible accusations there, but the "outrage" in this instance seems a bit over the top. If anything, this may work to Clinton's advantage, just because we on the left despise Ann Coulter so much.

7. Good grief, she is not

I am so tired of hearing this on here.

[LiberalinNC]

3. Great...just what the Clinton Campaign needs!

:eyes:

[GalleryGod]

5. The Coultergeist LIVES !!!!

IWR Vote
Levin Amendment vote

"Immigration Fence" vote.

Yikes! You only get "3 strikes" Hillary.

[Skinner]

4. Hmm. Sounds a little bit like people on DU who say...

...they would vote for Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul or John McCain before they would vote for Hillary Clinton.

Of course, I would never compare any of my fellow DUers to Ann Coulter. Surely we would never engage in the type of rhetorical excesses that she does...

[robbedvoter]

17. That'd exactly what that is. She is big with the hyperbole.

[WinkyDink]

9. And she is given the time of day here because???

[LostinVA]

10. Because RW memes and sources and pundits are now admired by

Some "supporters"?

Weird, huh?

[harun]

11. Supporters? Wishful thinking

It is because Hillary will be easier for the Military Industrial Complex to sway to big spending on military and on more wars than McCain. McCain has tried to convince them of his willingness to give them another war if elected with his promises to bomb Iran but Hillary has basically agreed to the same thing with her voting yes on the Iran bill in the Senate.

Freepers hate independent thinkers they can't sway to their craziness. Look at all the previous RW presidents of the last 50 years. They were all basically just actors for the Imperialist RW war machine. I think Hillary has convinced them she will play ball with them, where with McCain there are some issues he just doesn't agree with them and won't change his mind. That is unacceptable to them.

[LostinVA]

I put supporters in quotes, but you had to make it a chance to attack HRC

Jesus, this place is crazy now.

[Flatline]

12. She will try to sabotage the campaign I know it........she is EVIL enough...n/t

[joeybee12]

13. What a Headline W*o*e!

Trying not to get into trouble, but really, isn't there anything Ann WON'T do for attention?

[abburdlen]

14. I've been wondering

Rush, Hannity & Coulter have been quite vocal in their disgust for McCain. At first blush it looks like the GOP tearing itself apart.
But could it be a case that they know their opinion is less than worthless for the majority of Americans so by attacking McCain they make him look more moderate?

[CoffeeCat]

19. Coulter's comment...

...was more about her hate for McCain, than her love of Clinton.

I'm sure she hates Hillary Clinton--she's just showcasing her white-hot
hate for McCain--to her conservative audience--who also can't stand McCain.

It's a slam against McCain. The ultra-rabid faction of the psycho wing
of the Republican party--is imploding about McCain.

Have you tuned into Limbaugh lately? If you want a laugh, please do.

He's been so convinced that he is a kingmaker, and he just can't handle
that McCain keeps winning--despite Rush's 3 hours of hysterical daily
blathering.
