Ann Coulter's "Flatulent Raccoon Theory"

[hyphenate]

Ann Coulter's Godless: The Church of Liberalism Evolution Misinformation

In her book Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, June 2006), right-wing pundit Ann Coulter devotes two chapters to a bizarre attempt to disprove the theory of evolution. With a mix of misleading claims, pseudo-scientific arguments, distortions of evolutionary theory, and outright falsehoods, Coulter places herself not only outside the mainstream but truly toward the lunatic fringe. After all, no reasonable person argues that one cannot believe in God and simultaneously accept the findings of decades of accumulated research on evolution. Yet, Coulter appears to believe that in order to prove that liberals are "godless," she must attack evolutionary theory itself.

Though she stops short of saying that the earth is 6,000 years old and Adam and Eve rode through the Garden of Eden on the backs of dinosaurs, in her quest to disprove evolutionary theory, Coulter echoes the arguments of the creationists from whom even many religious conservatives distanced themselves long ago.

Among her falsehoods, misinformation, and distortions, Coulter:

Misstates how fossils demonstrate the evolutionary transition from reptiles and mammals, as well as the fossil record of dinosaurs and mammals.

1. Oh that's right. Coulter has an extensive curriculum vitae

on archeology, anthropology, and theology. :sarcasm:

2. Most conservatives are embarrassed by Ann the weirdo

She's narrowed her supporters to the real far right wing fringe. But you got to give her credit, through her attacks she has bled the conservatives for millions.

The bushbots don't buy her books for facts. They just want to join in her hate fest. She's working them good.

5. You're right. They could give a shit if it's made up. They like the HATE.

That's what they enjoy about people like Coulter and Savage. The unapologetic expression of HATE.

3. I wonder when the last time pinheads like AC and Rush saw the inside of a

church. Never, probably.

They are secular decadent party animals getting rich off the money of ignorant rubes who would never guess how differently their heroes live.

[Erika]

4. Ann ever been in the service, married, or had children?

These actions would require sacrifice and responsibility. She just wants to rake it the bucks for hate books. The far right wing has certainly been accommodating.

6. I'm waiting for the inevitable story about the rehab hospital stay.

What with those crack whore dresses and all.

7. She doesn't accept she's 45 years old

She looks very unhealthy. Her long blond dyed hair, her anorexic look, her dress style.

There is something very phony about the GOP and their facades.

8. She smokes two packs a day.

Emphysema and Lung Cancer won't take long to lay her low as skinny as she is.
