Ol' Mike Huckabee couldn't agree more!

[tomm2thumbs]

1. it was an interesting video - to see Coulter get it right

but as one of the posters on youtube said, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Piewhacket]

37. right? nonsense, she's an idiot. its just noise, random brain-farting of the mouth.

[LostinRed]

2. That's shocking if Coulter thinks its crazy

it must be crazy. You can't find anyone crazier than that C U Next Tuesday.

[Maine-ah]

27. Can't Understand Normal Thinking....

that's the one I usually use for AC.

[Politicalboi]

3. Wow

I would have figured Ann to be a birther. And I have said what Huckabee said. If Obama wasn't legal Hillary would have finished him off before Iowa.

[bc3000]

4. Wait a second... Coulter thinks it's crazy?

That changes things. I want to see the birth certificate.

[20score]

6. Too funny!

[mwb970]

21. LOL! /nt

:rofl:

[AzNick]

5. Another broken clock... right twice a day

nt

7. My favorite line:

"Everyone knows, I think, CNN's Lou Dobbs is a dope."

It was good finding myself agreeing with Geraldo again.

He used to be so upstanding before he sold his soul and went to work for FOX.

I haven't recognized him for years because of the fact he's sounded like a Republican most of the time.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. Lou Dobbs is doing what I notice most Repukes doing: claiming

to be non-partisan, Independent and/or Libertarian because they're too embarassed to call themselves Republican. These people are even worse than mainstream Repukes. They call in to liberal talk shows all the time claiming to be "independent thinkers," as they go off ONLY on Democrats and spew ridiculous conspiracy theories. Randi is so great at breaking them down that she leaves them speechless. Nutbags! :puke::puke:

[democracy1st]

30. Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Lielly leads the pack...got to find Randi on the dial

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

39. Podcast her or stream her live on Green 960...

[democracy1st]

42. thank you I'll tune in between Randi and Hartman I'm covered

[pepperbear]

8. One would think there would be alot of money in it for her to sound the birther horn. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. The Huckster makes a rare valid point here

Mikey's from Arkansas. He's well acquainted with the Clinton machine, and knows damn well if there were anything to this birth certificate horseshit, Hillary would have had it. Hell, I'll go one better and say they would have had it the day after Obama's speech at the 2004 DNC convention, or the day after he announced his candidacy in Springfield at the very latest.

[Cha]

43. Exactly right to back to

immediately after the 2004 Dem Convention when you know certain factions were scared shitless!

[DFW]

10. Is Coulter scared she will no longer be Nut Case in Chief?

If she's no longer the biggest whacko out there, she's nothing, and then even her peroxide won't save her.

[creeksneakers2]

11. Its far more than a few cranks

A recent birther related article on the web from a little known newspaper got half a million hits.

[WePurrsevere]

32. Hits or replies? Hits can be from a few things, not just the birthers looking but...

the sane who are curious or can't seem to stop themselves from looking at the crazies in sort of an internet version of "rubber necking" (and sometimes poking at them).

[creeksneakers2]

38. I'm one of many on the net who have a hobby of watching

the birthers and arguing with them. So all 500,000 hits weren't birthers. But I'm also taking into account that probably only a fraction of birthers went to that site.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. This will not play well on Freak Repuglic.

:evilgrin:

[stevenleser]

25. Right you are, here is a link, over 120 "Oh noes!" replies

[BumRushDaShow]

34. OMG I decided to wade into the muck over there.

:evilgrin:

I feel so dirty. The schadenfreude makes it worth it though.... :rofl:

[jimlup]

13. Geraldo as the "liberal" on FOX

:puke:

[sarge43]

14. Wow. Coulter thinks something is stupid.

Pot, allow me to introduce kettle.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Wow, if the Birthers have lost Coulter

that is HUGH!!! I'm series!

[ScottLand]

16. I think Ann Coulter just had

her "moment of clarity". She probably then went home and wondered what she said.

[Ikonoklast]

17. Ms. Coulter does not look well in that vid.

Exceptionally pasty looking, even more so than usual.

She needs a better make-up person.

But, I digress.


I'd be pasty looking if I lived on white wine and cigarettes, too.

And had to hide from the light of the sun.





And sleep in the earth of my native land.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

23. "Ms."???? n/t

[DWinNJ]

18. I think the main danger in the Coulter segment

is the way she minimizes the number of birthers and klan that are out there and everyone basically laughs and gives her a pass.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. You're right. She may be deliberating minimizing their impact. If something happens to

the president, she can then turn around and claim that 'it was a few bad apples,' just like "Dumbya" Bush did.

[AsahinaKimi]

19. Maybe she figures...

She can't sell a book on this topic, and it's too far out there for her. I am sure she will
come up with her own idiocy on some other topic very shortly. Like Palen, she loves the spotlight
which is unfortunate for us.

[bluedeminredstate]

20. Ann never misses a chance to slam the librul media

She says these birthers wouldn't be out there if the media wasn't so awful about getting things right and that there are way more liberal nutters than conservative ones. Just because she sees the writing on the wall in this instance and chooses not to fall in line with the birthers doesn't mean she's being reasonable. If she thought the birthers were going anywhere with this, and if they weren't seen as wackadoos, she'd be leading the charge demanding Obama's "real" birth certificate...


:crazy:

[realisticphish]

22. She's not crazy, or an idiot, she's an opportunist

an EVIL opportunist, but that's all. She knows that this is a bit too crazy to appeal to the maximum number of her readers. She'd retain some of them, sure, but there are a surprising number of intelligent conservatives who view her as the right wing Michael Moore. Something this crazy might hurt that image.

[Batgirl]

28. I would never view anything she says as being an expression of her true personal feelings.

She and her ilk exist purely to promote whatever information the GOP wishes. They are like the WWF characters of punditry with their choreographed bluster. Her feeble criticism of the birthers (feeble in the sense she still managed to place blame for their existence on the left) just shows the GOP feels it necessary to try to distance itself from this particular subset of its base, the distilled essence of wingnut whackjobs.

The public image of the GOP was not only deeply tarnished by the Chimperor's epic fail of a presidency, but has further devolved into a disturbing mosaic that includes the crazy-hair lady & the stuffed-monkey dude at the McCain rallies, backwards-B girl, Rush Limbaugh who is starting to resemble an over-the-top CGI villain in Ironman VIII, and the birthers. Pretty much the kind of embarrassingly wacky mayhem that can be expected to ensue when a political party actively courts the hateful, the ignorant, the racists, the all-around dumbfuck sector of society, in order to form their rabid but rickety voter base.

[KingFlorez]

29. Am I in a parallel universe or something?

I cannot believe she said that.

[Joanne98]

31. Sorry Ann. NOT TRUE! The birthers are the WHOLE Republican Party!

[Kazak]

33. Why are we linking Ann Coulter again?

Bile anyway!

[CLANG]

35. Coulter just admitted (and wasn't corrected) something we already knew

That since the departure of milk-toast Alan Colmes, Geraldo is the only liberal left on Faux News. And he isn't what I would call a left-winger by my personal observations.

[burning rain]

36. From Fox's point of view, birtherism is probably a bad story.

It divides the real wingnuts from other conservatives and causes strife in GOP ranks, besides offending independents, so it's bad news to Fox, which has a stake in conservative unity. It's been striking how Fox has stayed away from birtherism most recently, but here they've stepped in it a bit. Maybe, though, this is their pro forma mention of it, and they'll let it drop, and the fracas die down. But if they do a segment debunking / rejecting birtherism on one of their hard news broadcasts, especially if it's Shepard Smith, oh holy shit. Nuclear goddamn war.

[madamesilverspurs]

40. Is it moulting season?

Coulter may be shedding her old skin to make room for the new. But a snake is a snake is a snake. She'll reclaim her status as slitherqueen as soon as she conjures up the plot by which the Democrats invented the whole birther thing in an effort to make Republicans look stupid.

[Jack Rabbit]

41. Ms. Coulter has finally made a believer of me

I did not think until now that she had the accuracy of a broken clock.

[sakabatou]

44. Holy Crap!

I actually agree with her. Though Coulter really should speak for herself.
