If Ann Coulter decided to turn liberal ala Arianna Huffington

[Hawkeye-X]

would you trust her then?

[Bluebear]

1. Huffington never urged people to take baseball bats to us in her conservative days

No, I would never trust violent psychopath Coulter.

[devilgrrl]

12. I remember thinking that Huffington was one of the least annoying conservatives...

I didn't agree with her but she didn't come across as a venomous asshole like the rest of them.

[judaspriestess]

2. NO

[ClassWarfare2008]

3. Hell no.

I don't trust most of these convenient "ex republicans" either. Ed Schultz, Michael Bloomberg, etc. Arianna seems to be the exception.

[AllieB]

17. Bloomberg was a Democrat before he was a Republican

He changed parties to avoid losing the Democratic primary to Green.

[MADem]

23. Bloomberg was a Democrat most of his life, FWIW. He only changed parties to avoid having to

compete in a heavily populated Democratic primary.

Bloomberg is a Bloombergian, actually...!!! And a worry.

[ThomCat]

4. If she's still alive, then no.

As long as she's still alive, the next breath out of her mouth is likely to be spewing vile vicious hatred.

[mitchum]

5. I'm sure that Coulter's coke buddies don't even trust her/him/whatever...

with an eight ball

[WinkyDink]

6. No, because I would no longer be a sentient being.

[dkofos]

7. Maybe, if he came out of the closet!!

[Ezlivin]

8. Can Satan accept Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior?

When that happens I'll trust Ann Coulter.

:evilgrin:

[Aristus]

9. She'd just be puking hatred and vileness in "our" name, then.

Liberals don't need a mouthpiece like her.

[mudesi]

10. Huffington was never a neo con

Huffington was a conservative in the same sense that Canada's Progressive Conservative party are conservative - As in, not very conservative at all.

[guitar man]

11. only if

she reveals thst she actually IS Andy Kaufman and admits the Ann Coulter persona was actually one big joke :D

[annabanana]

36. It sounds like the kind of thing Andy might have done.

(he was sumpin else)

[Richard Steele]

13. Certainly not. nm

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Would I trust her?

Probably not.

Would I even like her.

I expect she'd be saying things like "Bush is a fag," "Cheney will come out of the closet later this year," and "Gonzales is total fag," all without a shred of evidence to support it.

And no, I don't approve of that or even like it.

By the way, I've been gone for three days. Have they arrested Cheney yet?

[ToeBot]

15. No, but I'd be curious to know what 'road to damascus' she was traversing.

I'm sure it would make for a very telling travelogue.

[baldguy]

16. Who trusts Arianna Huffington?

[AllieB]

19. I think she's genuine.

The way the right-wing treated her now ex-husband when he came out of the closet probably had a lot to do with her conversion. She saw the Republicans for the hypocrites that they are.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. I do.

I also trust David Brock. Some people, who maybe were Republicans for financial reasons in the past, are genuinely appalled at the Theocratic nutjobs who have taken over that party. I don't see why folks can't have a change of Heart. Ann Coulter, on the other hand, doesn't have a heart to change. If seeing the Dead numerous times didn't fix her, nothing will.

[Madspirit]

18. If she REALLY changed

She would have to earn my trust but I would forgive her. "Forgiveness and change"...kind of THE point for us bleeding hearts...

Lee

[NMDemDist2]

21. hey! HI!!

:hi:

:bounce:

[butterfly77]

20. Let's wait till after this round of elections...

and then we will see who will change seats or parties. I believe that if the Dems win more seats then in the next round the repugs will start pretending to be Dems to win seats.

[mitchum]

22. I would trust Coulter if Coulter had a death bed conversion...

and that is a happy thought

[maximusveritas]

24. No, just like I don't trust Arianna

and I don't trust anyone who changes their political beliefs that dramatically late in life.

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Funny, I trust Arianna. I like her.

I think she's pretty sharp.

[lpbk2713]

25. Just like I trust Zell Miller.

:eyes: :thumbsdown: :eyes:

[Warren DeMontague]

26. No, whatever is wrong with Ann Coulter's brain is clearly degenerative.

She might start howling at the moon, eating human flesh or writing op-eds by smearing her own shit on the walls, but she's not going to suddenly turn liberal.

[monmouth]

27. I'd feed her...eom

[mcscajun]

30. No, No, and Hell, No.

If she did such a thing, it would either because the nation's political axis had shifted so much she could no longer peddle her RW hatreds, or it would mean that the Apocalypse was upon us at last and nothing she said would matter.

Hmmm...the latter is pretty much as today.

[xchrom]

31. huh? -- what a weird OP.

[Blue_In_AK]

32. Arianna thought she was a conservative

for a while, but she was never a hater. I would never trust Coulter.

[etherealtruth]

33. Not trust or want her brand of hatred on "my" side

[deutsey]

34. No...it would just confirm my suspicion that she's an opportunistic asshole. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

35. I'd trust her even less

Since when does switching sides make a person trustworthy?

:shrug:

[Prophet 451]

37. Maybe

It would depend on what else she did. David Brock turned around, wrote a mea culpa, confessed his sins and has largely been forgiven. Coulter could do the same. If she sincerely repents, apologises and reforms (or just admits that she's been doing shedloads of crack for years) then maybe but trust would have to be earned, little by little, over years, not days and I doubt Coulter has that much patience.

[Orsino]

38. If she started talking SENSE from a liberal perspective, maybe.

I don't believe she's as stupid as she plays for money. I assume that any change would just be another lie.

[Matsubara]

39. Since Coulter approaches the edges of parody, I've often wondered if she was a closet liberal...

It's hard to imagine that anyone could say the outrageous things she says without an agenda of ridiculing the GOP, she's just so over the top.


So, I dunno. Huffington was never as far-out wacko as Coulter. She was the wife of a GOP lawmaker, not a pundit. It was after her conversion that she became notable.


Anyway, Coulter is a blueblood scumbag with a sense of entitlement from early on. I seriously doubt she will change her vicious ways.

[Labors of Hercules]

40. The only way I'll trust Coulter is when she is dead and buried.

and even then I might be tempted to dig her up just to make damn sure.
