Coultergeist just got slapped down on TODAY show. .

[annabanana]

Meridith Viera was interviewing Tweety about the beast's appearance yesterday, and Eliz. Edwards phone call. Tweety said that her using that kind of hate speech to sell books was wrong. He also said he wasn't surprised that the creature didn't back down when speaking to the Mother of the dead child. He also brought up the appearance yesterday when the beast said that she hoped Edwards would die in a terrorist attack...

We may have seen just about the last of that aberration of the human spirit on Tv.

[Hubert Flottz]

1. I hope she gets on more than she has been...

What better way to drive anyone with a brain away from the GOP? Do you think Ann knows how stupid she looks in that spy vs spy dress?

[NewJeffCT]

13. That's her point, though

She is there to be so outrageous and controversial, that any Republican that comes along that is slightly to her left will look like a moderate in comparison.

If Coulter says that she wishes Edwards would die in a terrorist attack and Joe Republican Candidate comes along and says that he hopes Edwards would only be injured in a terrorist attack, the media will rally to his side and declare him a moderate and a maverick.

[opihimoimoi]

18. Dreadful Hateful Bitch is an example of what not to be....but then, there those who copy her persona

Hubert, we been through this crap for 6 fkn years, never before hve we seen someone so hateful and downright UGLY...

This Attention whore is despicable and should be neutered/spaded (I am not sure WHAT she is) ASAP.

MY Village would have buried her/him till the neck and let the dogs lick her face, the chickens peck, and the ants...they do what they gatta do...

[Gabi Hayes]

25. and, you know the WORST thing about this?

assholes like Matthews and Scarborough come on and try to tell us that she's JUST LIKE a lot of dems, without ever naming names, and, on top of it, LIE, as Scarborough did today, when they have to scrape up even a single example of similarly hateful speech from the other side.

he completely misquoted Bill Maher this morning, citing Maher's wish for Cheney's death during a terrorist attack. what's even worse is that Scarborough was a guest on Maher's show when this supposed exchange occurred

they do this all the time, as they did during the 06 congressional race, when they used Con. Jefferson's corruption as the the equivalent to the COUNTLESS example of republican venality

beyond nauseating.....

[Hubert Flottz]

32. Annie Airhead is about as repulsive as a swim in a septic tank.

More full of shit than 897865434521908 septic tanks. And is a common criminal to boot.(vote thief)

If you or I pulled that voter fraud trick she pulled, we'd be in jail for 10 years.

The only thing I watch on MSNBC, or NBC, is Keith Olberman's Countdown.

Jack Welch still calls the shots at NBC. Look how many scumbag GOPers they have,(Timmy Taterhead, Just Kris, Tucker, Mourning Joemo, Nora and so on, as opposed to the one man who tells the truth on TV. And as if that wasn't bad enough they bring on bottom feeding scum like Ann, Chris the drunken Limey POS, Pat PukeCannon, and Dana Milkbump to help spread Karl's bullshit.

[SpiralHawk]

19. She's just a typical republicon pimplehead: no honor, no class

And she does make it plain that the republicons stand for shame, lack of honor, disrespect, and no class.

[Hubert Flottz]

33. I know some very well to do GOPers who believe every word Ann

says...and then they go around passing her venom along. I threw them out of my house a couple of years ago, during campaign 2004. We'd been friends for 40 years, but I found out how stupid they really were, when they quoted Ann's Nazified bullshit.(said "wars made for lots of jobs" and shit like that, both of these guys got out of serving during Vietnam) I got up and told them to get out and showed them to the door! I'm still not a damned bit sorry I did it! They still sent me emails once in a while and I just deleted them, so they finally gave up.

I don't have ANY republican friends, or family anymore. I don't want any...

[liberal N proud]

2. Tweety needs to be slapped for allowing Coultergiest to act as she did

It was his show, he should have done some gate-keeping in that conversation and shut the beast up so Elizabeth could talk.
It was disgusting that she was allowed to continue interrupting the phone call and putting down the Edwards in such manner.

Unfortunately she is like the slime Limpballs and there are so many hate mongers in this country that they will continue to thrive and spread their brand of hate and make money off of it.

[PA Democrat]

7. He needs to be slapped for inviting her on as a guest in the first place.

It is shameful that he is going after ratings by giving a huge microphone to someone who makes a living spewing hatred and bigotry. She can't even dress appropriately for the show. Does the woman even OWN anything other than a sleazy black cocktail dress?

[mwb970]

12. He should never have given the diseased little animal a platform.

I didn't care to hear its screeching noises, so I stayed away from Hardball the day it was Tweety's guest. I've read about what it screeched and evidently it was as disgusting as ever.

Yes, the little critter should be allowed to discredit right-wing "thought" whenever it has another zinger to poop out. But not on Hardball, for God's sake.

Tweety: new rule. Humans only on the show. Think about it.

[ginnyinWI]

26. exactly! he knew she'd be saying this kind of crap.

She never says anything of substance. And then he gets to go on Today and hawk his show some more! Ugh.

[AngryOldDem]

15. Unfortunately, I didn't see Hardball...

...but it's rather self-serving and disingenuous of Tweety to NOW show righteous indignation over Coulter's remarks if he did not step in and shut her up during HIS program. If he sat back and enjoyed the show, he's just as complicit in promoting Coulter's hate.

The man stood up to Michelle Malkin, for Crissakes...what...is he afraid of Annie?

[liberal N proud]

22. You can catch the most disgusting part here if you dare to stare into the eyes of evil

[blondeatlast]

39. Someone should have posted a warning on that--I became physically ill while watching it.

I am NOT kidding.

[KharmaTrain]

17. All Tweety Saw Was Ratings

Dare I say look how many people here watched yesterday. It's the convention...Coultergeist is always sure to shoot her mouth and that's where this dynamic plays out. She's like the flasher...he sits with his trench coat and when you walk past, he exposes himself...turned on or turned off, you noticed! That's what Tweety and MSNBC's game here.

My bets are the ratings for yesterday's show are the highest he's had in a while...and if that's the case, we'll see him do this stunt again.

To me, the biggest outrage was the use of Elizabeth Edwards. Kudos to her for keeping her cool and always being a class act, but Tweety knew what Coultergeist's reaction and was hoping for a cat fight...feeding into his mysognist dreams.

[bullwinkle428]

30. He wouldn't even step in to back E. Edwards' statement that

Coultergeist had made another attack THAT VERY MORNING (hoping that he got killed in a terrorist attack) on them, after her incredibly lame attempt at defending her "dead son" remark ("I said that 3 years ago")...

Tweety needs to formally apologize to the Edwards family and his entire viewing audience for the whole debacle...

[gratuitous]

34. Ding, ding, ding, Winner!

Tweety's disingenuous comments make it sound like Little Arfin' Annie just somehow slithered onto his show and began running her tired schtick, rather than being solicited, wined, and dined, provided transportation, a live microphone and the guest of honor seat.

[frogcycle]

3. tweety has a long way to go to salvage any credibility

as a "journalist" - (he's not one) after enabling that shit.

he should have had the good sense to stop the show and kick her out when she made the remark about wishing Edwards had been killed.

His response was like bush reading My Pet Goat.

[annabanana]

5. That remark wasn't on his show. . .

I think it was something she had said the day before. Tweety DID however, mention it in today's interview with Viera when talking about how Elizabeth must have been feeling about the creature.
(I will NOT use her name)

[frogcycle]

14. ok - I only heard of it via Randi Rhodes

she seemed to think it had been said just then on the show

thanks for the correction

[devilgrrl]

24. Matthews had credibility?

When?

[Rottenmac]

4. We can only hope...

I personally believe she needs to die horribly and painfully, but she'll probably linger around for another few years, slowly fading away eventually joining Katherine Harris in some odd union of freaky old bitches who can't think straight.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

43. Welcome to DU, you have sharp, funny wit. Andrew DIce Clay? George Carlin?

Lenny Bruce?

We lefty liberal ladies love the biting wit. Mostly. :hi: MKJ

[Dinger]

6. Well, That's Good. But tweety Should Go With her

I wish.

[HughBeaumont]

8. Said the guy who gives that assvacuum attention in the first place . . .

[baldguy]

9. If he thinks she's wrong

Why does he keep putting her on?

[Ganja Ninja]

10. "Tweedy said that her using that kind of hate speech ... was wrong."

What was wrong was for Tweedy and the other networks to keep giving air time to her so she can throw her verbal bombs. It's the same stale act over and over. She comes on and goes right up to the line of what's acceptable for the public airwaves and then dangles her foot on the other side. Her repeated childish personal attacks are without substance of any kind. There is no good reason for having her on in the first place.

[Philosoraptor]

11. "She's just so awful, I can't WAIT to have her back on my show again"!

[Ian David]

16. I hope Coulter snaps in two like a dried twig while trying to put on her shoes. n/t

[triguy46]

20. Please listen, one more time, it takes a wooden stake through the heart. n/t

[mitchum]

21. Yet Tweety had Coulter on his show despite his "disapproval" of ...

Coulter's tactics
Tweety's wet brain apparently has progressed to such a point that he thinks everyone is as stupid as himself

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. But did he chastise her face to face?

[ellacott]

37. This is my question too

I refused to watch it yesterday. He always kisses up to many of guests. I don't see him taking a strong stand where she's concerned.

[wicket]

27. What did Ann say about their son Wade who was killed??

:grr: :grr:

[VP505]

29. A few years ago

she said that Mr Edwards had a bumper sticker on his car that said "ASK ME ABOUT MY DEAD SON", was one.

[wicket]

31. OMFG

That is just effing sick :grr: Ann is truly batshit crazy.

[underpants]

28. Does she have a new book out? Why is she on all these shows?

Are they really bringing her out to help their cause? To rally the base??? Seriously?

[Virginia Dare]

36. Everybody else in Washington is on vacay?

I have no idea why the hateful piece of filth is all over the teevee, but I wish somebody would exorcise her quick. Where's Richard Burton when you need him?

[WinkyDink]

41. New book.

[erpowers]

35. Not Going to Happen

I would like to believe that Ann Coulter has done her last TV inerview, but I contend she will be back on TV within a few weeks. Coulter has been proven to be a liar. She had spewed extreme hatred against incident (the Jersey Girls) people just because they will not walk in lock step with her, the Republican Party and the Bush Administration. She has spewed extreme hatred against Democratic candidates running for a variety of political positions. Yet she was still allowed to appear on two different shows in one day. For Coulter to be called upon to be interviewed after all that had done before yesterday shows that TV shows and producers do not care about Coulter's bad behavior. Shows should have stopped having Coulter on when it was first put out that she lied throughout her book "Slander".

[radfringe]

38. PAYDAY TOMORROW

will be sending Edwards campaign a few dollars...

[jackstraw45]

40. All those GE WHORES are doing is promoting her next appearance on their shows...

It's ALL crap.

Consume...consume...distract...distract...

Meanwhile, GE has made BILLIONS off this administration, their part of the Corporate propaganda machine and the sheep mentality of many Americans.

[WinkyDink]
