Elizabeth Edwards Just took on Ann Coulter

[Sparkly]

:woohoo: :bounce:

She called in and asked Coulter to stop the personal attacks on her husband. Ann is having a fit! It was GREAT!!!

[Coexist]

1. channel? radio show?

???

[Sparkly]

3. Sorry -- Hardball with Tweety, MSNBC

Should rerun at 7 est

[H2O Man]

4. Hardball

MSNBC (repeated at 7 pm est)

[H2O Man]

2. Nominated.

That was outstanding. Very intense.

[Gabi Hayes]

details, please. I refuse to watch that creature. Did Edwards actually

speak with coulter?

what, exactly happened?

please.....

[riderinthestorm]

13. No teevee here at my house, I too would love any details! nt

[H2O Man]

20. Though I can't

due Ms. Edwards justice, I will try. Mr. Matthews had made arrangements to allow Ms. Edwards to confront Ann Coulter on her personal attacks. Ann did not seem to know this was coming. Ms. Edwards had prepared, however, and listed a few of Ann's truly disturbed attacks. As Ms. Edwards spoke, Ann became histrionic. And then Ms. Edwards hit her with the ugliest thing Ann has done: making ugly, sick, evil comments about the Edwards' losing their son. Ann freaked.

[riderinthestorm]

30. Ann freaked??!!

I do believe I am going to have to head over to the local community college tonight and watch the youtube video later on (I'm on a slow rural dial-up here). If Waterman says Ann "freaked" - that means this has got to be first class freakout!

I just admire Elizabeth Edwards so much. My curiousity is piqued by the freak factor crossed with Mrs. Edwards' cool calm. Thanks for the summary!

[spanone]

40. Coulter laughed and said 'that was 3 years ago'. What a specimen.

[Sparkly]

28. Yes --when Ann was forced to let EE get a word in!

Ann was way thrown off by it. Elizabeth Edwards held her own. She cited specifics, including a statement Coulter made about Edwards having a bumpersticker saying, "Ask me about my dead son." Coulter's first response: "Oh, that was three years ago." Someone yelled from the back something like, "Why didn't John Edwards make the call?" So Ann, having nothing else, asked that. Elizabeth said she's the mother of the dead boy, and has children the ages of those standing behind Coulter... Her point was that this is NOT helpful to the political debate or the country. Ann said "Oh, so I should just stop writing books?" EE said yes, if you can't write them without personal attacks!!

[kegler14]

81. The fellow shouting from the back was a freeper

wouldn't you know. Or so they're saying over in freeptard land.

[helderheid]

5. rec 4

[rec_report]

6. Yes, but sycophant Matthews didn't allow Edwards to speak -he's afraid of MAnn Coulter.

n/t

[H2O Man]

8. Not true.

He certainly did allow her to talk.

[rec_report]

11. No, he allowed Coulter to interrupt constantly.

But, I am still glad for the call, though!

[H2O Man]

16. Anne Coulter is

out of control. Mr. Matthews is not responsible for her behavior. He requested her to let Ms. Edwards make her points, and offered her time to respond. Anne Coulter was ansty, because Ms. Edwards was putting her on the hot seat. She did not appear to know beforehand that Mr. Matthews had made arrangements to allow Ms. Edwards to confront her on her extremely disturbed rantings, thus her nasty-mouthed response.

[PA Democrat]

31. Thanks for the play-by-play.

I'm glad that someone has had the opportunity to directly confront that vile woman. I'll bet Ann was twitching and blinking like crazy.

[kskiska]

35. Couldn't tell about the blinking

She wore sunglasses throughout the interview.

[JDPriestly]

33. Matthews does not have to invite Coulter on his show.

There are many more sane people to interview -- intelligent, sane, responsible people who contribute to the political discussion and who show respect for people even if they don't agree with them. Ann Coulter is a has been. We simply can't afford her divisive rhetoric at this point in history. I can't think of a single Democratic spokesperson who is so vile.

[H2O Man]

59. I agree.

I don't think her nastiness is worth the tiny bump in the ratings. But people above Mr. Matthews do.

[mwb970]

78. It is weird how hateful and vile most right-wing commentators are.

Coulter, Weiner Savage, Hannity - it goes on and on. One screechy whiner after another. And who is similar on the "left" (i.e. among normal people)? What Democrat writes book after book filled with hate and lies?

Right-wing wackos like Coulter and Weiner Savage have two emotions: fear and rage. Right-wing "leaders" like Tom Delay etc. have two drives: greed and a lust for power. So there you have it! The contribution of the radical right to American political discourse consists of fear, rage, greed, and a lust for power.

Pathetic.

[helderheid]

9. Did they take her call?

[Lex]

7. I love her. She is fearless.

nt

[Catchawave]

49. I thought the same thing....do we have a liberal equal?

Maher already got fired for saying the terrorists weren't "cowards". Who else?

[PA Democrat]

10. I am definitely going to watch the rerun of Hardball.

I just love Elizabeth Edwards.

[Eurobabe]

75. I refused to TiVO it in protest of that P.O.S. on Hairball

I'm content to read the play by play here rather than subject myself to the Queen of Harpies.

[LSK]

12. that is amazing, whos the one with the real guts?

Go Elizabeth!

[Pharaoh]

14. OK When will this be on youtube!!

this I have to see..........:toast:

[MalloyLiberal]

15. I NEED a video of this!!!!!!

[DesertRat]

41. Here's the video:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x36442

[City Lights]

50. Thank you!

:yourock:

Coulter is the lowest form on life on the planet. That was one of the most sickening things I've seen in awhile. Hate is the only language she knows.

[eShirl]

17. go Liz!

:yourock:

[Dudley_DUright]

18. Greg Sargent at TPM says he will have a clip up soon

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/014848.php

Probably C&L will post a clip too.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/

[MalloyLiberal]

22. OMG Can't wait!! Thank you!

[Dudley_DUright]

25. Digby has a summary of the swill Coulter was spewing on Tweety's show today

Coulter is on Hardball today saying that our problem in Iraq is because we haven't killed enough civilians. Really.

http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/psychopathic-freakshow-by-digby-coulter.html

[whistle]

19. Wow, that's great...Mann Coulter just might have to go back to China

... and have a penile/testes re-implant!:rofl: :spray:

[Cheap_Trick]

21. My wife...re: Mann Coulter

said she saw her on GMA, and that she looked like Patty the Daytime Hooker from My Name is Earl, with less make-up. :rofl:

[DeepModem Mom]

23. Unfortunately, Coulter mocked her and her husband, and enjoyed Elizabeth's pain.

That was her response, even while Elizabeth was still on the phone.

[JoePhilly]

36. Coulter demonstrated her lack of a soul repeatedly.

[WinkyDink]

60. And that rich bee-yotch brat behind Coulter was laughing.

[The Doctor.]

24. Just saw it. Matthews actually DID tell Anne to let Mrs. Edwards finish.

Mrs. Edwards very politely explained to Anne that political discourse is suffering because of the personal attacks that she so often engages in. She asked Anne to 'please stop' the personal attacks while Anne was doing her level best to speak over her.

After the call, Matthews asked Anne what she thought and Anne said that Mrs. Edwards just told her not to speak at all. Complete and utter bullshit. Tweety even corrected her on that.

How funny that Anne basically suggested that every word she speaks is a personal attack.

I also saw the question that a viewer Emailed about her support for the war. He said 'why aren't you over there helping?'. She claimed because she's too frail.

Bullshit.

[senseandsensibility]

70. She said she was too frail?

She actually said that?

[The Doctor.]

86. She said, (pp) "Picture me with my little gun."

The insinuation was clear, "I'm too frail and girlie!"

Bah!

[glitch]

26. Elizabeth Edwards is an attorney with intelligence, dignity and grace. Poor Ann, not a fair match.

Like nuking a gnat. :rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Kick!

Can't wait for the repeat!

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Hardball REPEATS at 6:00 CT.....for those interested in tuning in to see this.

:hi:

It's on MSNBC.

[RamboLiberal]

32. Glad I'm taping the 7PM Hardball

Go Elizabeth - and as much as I like John Edwards there are times I wish it was Elizabeth running for office.

So damn unfair that Elizabeth is the one battling cancer. Should be someone like that evil Coulter.

[Harry Monroe]

68. And should Coulter get cancer...

...let it be testicular cancer

[Fleshdancer]

34. DAMN! I missed it!

And here I thought there was no possible way I could love and respect EE any more than I already do...then she proves me wrong. :D

[DesertRat]

42. watch it here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x36442

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Thank you.

It was better than I thought it ever could have been.

[Jack Rabbit]

37. I wish she were running for president

I could support her.

[trashcanistanista]

39. Wonderful Lady, Elizabeth is.

Now I have GOT to get MSNBC added to my satellite programs.

[spanone]

38. I saw her, she laughed at Ms. Edwards, wondered why her husband didn't call.

I think it is below the dignity of Ms. Edwards to even speak to that woman.

[Stinky The Clown]

44. A scary side note about this appearance .........

..... the crazy fucking young people who cheer for her.

[Bluebear]

45. Agree totally. nt

[City Lights]

51. Did you see the "Ann: Marry me." sign?

Or something along those lines...:puke:

[Skidmore]

58. No, it's that creepy little girl standing behind her nodding in agreement

and applauding. Child can't be more than 15 or 16.

[WinkyDink]

61. The earrings tell me the brat has $$$$.

[Danger Mouse]

82. She came to speak while I was in college.

A fellow student of mine, female, and quite attractive...cheered hysterically every time Harpy made one of her vile points. Why, lord, why?

[getmeouttahere]

84. At least this way we can easily identify....

psycopaths. Because that's what you are if you stand behind Coulter.

[Danger Mouse]

87. This is true. However...

I wouldn't want to insult the good, upstanding psychopaths who are NOT fans of Coulter :P

[rosesaylavee]

46. Crooks and Liars has it up now.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/06/26/elizabeth-edwards-confronts-ann-coulter/

[GRLMGC]

47. What cracks me up

is that Coulter kept on insisting that Edwards was calling on her to stop writing and speaking. Basically, this means that the only things said by Coulter ARE personal attacks devoid of any meaningful political content.

Don't even get me started on the tools sitting behind her.

[Catchawave]

48. I'm watching it now....

:banghead: She supports Duncan Hunter. Predicts Hillary the Dem nominee.

Eliz's part hasn't come up yet.

Where is this Hardball Plaza, DC?

[bettyellen]

55. it's not actually named that- i belive he said 34th street which makes me

think it's herald square. where they film the macy's parade from. i've seen that little park used as an outdoor studio occasionally.
wow, the peope behind her were literally mouth breathers. tweety wasn;t kidding when he compared it to deliverance. ick.

[bettyellen]

52. on again NOW

[PA Democrat]

53. OMG. Coulter is more vile than a steaming pile of human excrement

And that little right wing conservative sycophant woman directly behind her, I'd personally pay to have her pathetic ass flown to Iraq.

[bettyellen]

56. did you see that mouth breather mouthing answers for her... some of her "best" lines are

actually stuff these idiots yell out when she's stumped. weird.

[PA Democrat]

66. Yes, I saw her lips moving and the look of rapture on her face when Ann spoke.

I also noticed that when Elizabeth Edwards was speaking, the young woman screwed up her face like she was trying to translate a foreign language. Maybe the right doesn't speak or comprehend the language of human decency.

[Ilsa]

54. I wish EE had been more specific.

The personal attacks are expected from a low-life shrew like Annthrax. But EE should have specifically asked her to stop calling for the assassination of of John and any other candidate. I wish the police would intervene, because she sounds like she is inciting violence.

[BlackVelvet04]

57. What I find amazing is that anyone

would think coulter is any kind of authority on who, other than herself, is godless.

[A HERETIC I AM]

62. Coulter needs a "Have you no sense of decency?" moment

someone...maybe Elizabeth Edwards herself, on national TV should use that same line from the Mccarthy hearings, spoken by Joseph Welch, an attorney for an Army soldier accused by Senator McCarthy;

"...You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

She needs to be publicly shamed and humiliated by a figure of unassailable (even by her) moral and ethical standing.

[K8-EEE]

71. I think she just had one

I loved it....

[Raine]

63. Elizabeth Edwards should never

have lowered herself to try and talk to that piece of garbage...IMO. x(

[OzarkDem]

65. I'm still glad she did it

It exposed Coulter for the soulless, evil person that she is.

[jean]

67. maybe Elizabeth intended to redirect Coulter's focus - to attack Elizabeth in the days to come

[Eurobabe]

76. Gotta agree with you, I hope EE took a long hot bath afterwards

That P.O.S. Coultergeist is a heinous person. Her slime knows no boundaries.

[zonkers]

77. Agree.

[nonconformist]

64. I know what I'm going to say is wrong, but...

If I were to hear that Coulter was viciously attacked/tortured/murdered, I wouldn't bat a fucking eyelash.

[mwb970]

80. Hell, I'd like to see them ALL blown up by a roadside bomb.

I almost hate to admit this, but the number of people whose immediate, sudden death I would actually, literally celebrate (big time) has grown in the last 6 1/2 years from its lifelong value of zero to, I don't know, I guess it's up to 5 or 6 by now.

Starting with Cheney. Lord, please! Help us.

[Virginian]

69. Refused to watch today.

When he warned us who his guest would be today, I chose not to watch.

She is bad for my blood pressure.

I don't understand why ANYONE gives her the time of day, much less an hour of free advertising for her books of venom.

[lpbk2713]

72. And Coultergeist went off the deep end.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[blogslut]

74. Thank You!

I had no idea there was a bigger version of that animated gif. I love it! Love the crazy Limbaugh gif in your sig too. ;)

[lpbk2713]

79. Help yourself to either one.

They are a matched set in real life. Both hatemongers are a couple of jerks.

[KAT119]

73. As Judith,a friend, said:

"There are no surprises from Coulter on the video. I always blew her off as nothing more than a woman afraid of ageing and desperately grasping for attention to negate her fears. But when she accused the Jersey widows of being happy that their husbands got killed on 9/11 because it made them rich I realized she was also mentally ill. She doesn’t have a clue about boundaries or any sense of a line that shouldn’t be crossed. She’s a bully who will do and say anything to knock people down. Elizabeth is very popular and that was obvious in the video when the audience around her clapped after Elizabeth said something. The only thing Coulter could do was toss her hair around and acuse Elizabeth of telling her she wasn’t allowed to talk."

Thank you, Elizabeth for your beautiful heart, brilliant mind and courageous spirit:-))) We adore you....

[Danger Mouse]

83. Coulter is only a few steps above Fred Phelps and his ilk.

She is a scum-sucking shit, the lowest form of gutter-dwelling slime. She exudes evil and vileness, and I cannot express enough how truly loathsome she is.
Hate is all she knows, and hate is all that will ever be returned to her. Hate-mongers like her have no place in society, or humanity. I think they should all be gathered together and given a barren patch of land to share with each other, so that all of us can watch with wearied bemusement as they drown in their mutual sludge that their vile hate breeds.

[getmeouttahere]

85. Much as I loved your rant, Elrond, I think you gave her too much credit...

She's not above Fred Phelps and his ilk. We're talking about the same type of sub-human.

[Danger Mouse]

88. She is above him because she hasn't protested the funerals of soldiers yet.

That's all that makes her better than Phelps.
So I rank him and his ilk slightly lower than her.
Make no mistake, the difference is merely the space between 'fucking worthless sack of human waste' and 'fucking REALLY worthless sack of human waste' :D
