Coulter finally gets the smackdown she deserves!
:woohoo:

Donny Deutsch Shatters the Coulter Myth
By: John Amato @ 3:19 PM - PDT

Donny really did a number on Coulter last night. They said a few things that I will differ with of course, but there was no wiggle room for Coulter to break free from. There wasn’t a talking head that would give in to her vaudevillian brand of extremism. He’s telling her that there are no liberal bogeymen. Then he gets started on her shots at the 9/11 widows.

12. I'm the stupid person
I'm the stupid person that you launched a personal attack on last night (and again in this thread) ... I've reconsidered my position and decided that you were right ... just because Ann Coulter advocated dropping nukes on Iraq and Deutsch agreed that we should turn it into a parking lot, that's no reason for me to be critical ... </sarcasm>

3. I watched it....can't say I was overly impressed with Deutsch.
True, he confronted Coulter on her ridiculous attacks on the 9/11 widows, but he seemed to be saying there are no liberals in this country. Not sure how great an ally we have in this guy...

4. Not "liberals" as Coulter imagines.
That's Deutsch's point, that Coulter's version of a "liberal" doesn't exist.

It's her fantasy creature, a strawman she created.

8. I think what he ment old "hippy-type' liberals....
... as as Thom Hartman suggests.

And to be honest I think he's right. The last 'true' liberal disapeard sometime in th 50's (during McCarthy witch hunts). Still it was good to see someone finially take her down hard. :)

15. I'm an old "hippy-type" liberal and I'm still here.
I don't plan on disappearing soon either.

18. Well, he seemed willing to buy into the meme that liberals
dont exist anymore. That we are all scaled by the conservative ruler. I do not take Ann very seriously, but I find that assumption conveyed by a clearheaded guy like Deutsch more troubling.

6. Couldn't finish watching
When Duetsch played the Leno clip and the audience applauded it was a sick scene...sick.

Just hearing that bitch talk makes my hair stand on end. I also have a distinct feeling that I'm hearing from a really angry person who has a lot of baggage to work through.

I found it interesting when she claimed that the divisiveness was coming from the media and Blue States. That is a classic case of projection.

11. Don't you love how much power
she ascribes to the blue states? And to the right wing Clinton is ommnipotent since he's to blame for everything, even 6 years in to a failed Bush presidency. They just always always have to be the victim.

Yes! Well said. And yet, she's the one who always talks about victims.

She really fell apart in that interview. "He's fighting terror!" she yelled one time, for lack of anything better to say.

But I believe that her fifteen minutes are about up. She's gotten a lot of deserved criticism lately. We can only hope....

13. I absolutely cannot tolerate that thing's voice.
It sounds like a cheese grater scraping along a rippled chalkboard.

I watched the first clip, then turned it off at the beginning of the second, as he fantasized about having drinks with her

what an obvious come-on

nauseating beyond words

22. Good to see she owns at least ONE other outfit
I was beginning to think that little black, crotch-tease of a cocktail dress she wore on her book cover, the Today show, and the Tonight Show was the only thing she had in her closet.

26. Great interview....Deutsch confuses Coulter...she says he's a confused
Moderate Conservative...but he very clearly and very neatly dissected her flawed labeling of Americans as Liberals and what she accuses them of being....

She didn't know what to do...I will say what I find very annoying about Ann Coulter is this "attitudinal accent" she has when talking that makes her sound snide, better than anyone else and self-righteous.

Meanwhile, the funniest exchange was when Donny suggested that if she and he were to go out to dinner, that they would have fun, drink, get drunk and she would try to have her way with him. Ann almost seemed giddy and interested (about Donny or getting drunk or both?) but he totally disarmed her...
