Coulter: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about Dems
RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday October 3, 2007


In an interview with the New York Observer, plagiarist , conservative commentator and media doyenne Ann Coulter left this choice quote, which the Observer highlighted as "On women:"

COULTER: If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.

It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it’s the party of women and 'We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'

45. Has any ever asked Coulter to set an example?

I think she and the women who agree with her "dream" should set an example for the rest of us - Coulter & Co. should all just stop voting.

Men who feel the same way, should also refrain from voting as a sign of support for the women who aren't voting...

[terisan]

2. Wonderful that she is putting distance between herself and womenkind. nt

[ananda]

3. What a shill.

There is, essentially, only one political party in Congress..
the business party.

It's convenient for the corporofascist power elite to make
people think there are still two parties, and it's distracting
and divisive to pit one against the other as if they're
different.

[DFW]

4. More of Crazy Coulter's Raving For Dollars...or.....

A prelude to why she is having a sex change operation?

Either way, it's just more of the same: pay me to say
whacky stuff on your talk show so I can sell books, please!

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. I wonder what Coulter does when checking off [x] the gender box?

Could be a problem..............

[radfringe]

14. most likely she checks both boxes or the none of the above box

[Betty]

6. how about the right to commit voter fraud

can we take that away? Then there would never be another repug president. that's my personal fantasy.

[PSPS]

7. Somewhat a Freudian slip, don't you think?

Coulter implies that such a step wouldn't affect "her."

[tanyev]

8. Ann Coulter. 19th century solutions for 21st century problems.

[Dollface]

10. And if we can get rid of free speech for women we won't have to listen to this idiot anymore.

I guess the adam's apple does tell all.

[Cathyclysmic]

11. Yawn. I could set my clock to her now.

:eyes:

[mindfulNJ]

15. I agree...

she's just a bore.

She's going to have to try harder and harder to shock us...how's about if we just stop paying attention?

[Canuckistanian]

30. She was actually past due for her next outrageous statement

I was beginning to worry about her (not really).

[NewJeffCT]

12. The Republic Party should be hanging its head in shame

since it can't get women, Hispanics, African-Americans, gays and others to vote for them.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

20. Right on time. New book coming out, outrageous statements spewing forth.

Yawn, yeah, whatever Coltergeist. She says these things to get everybody up in arms, sell a few books and drag her black mini dress covered skanky ass on Faux News to laugh about the uproar. Wonder when the MSM will realize she is inconsequential? Her books are "best sellers" because the reichwing stink tanks buy them in bulk to give away with a donation. Her last book went directly into the 99¢ bin one month from release date.

And forget rethuglicans hanging their heads in shame over this sub-human. Young Rethuglicans have altars for Coltergeist set up in their dorm rooms and whack off to her picture every chance they get. She is who they want to be when they grow up.

[bdamomma]

13. What a arrogant and rude ? woman she is.

[Mike Daniels]

16. Hasn't she done this routine before?

I thought that Ann and Barbara Olsen (just before 9/11) made the same comments re: women voters.


Just shows that Ann's run out of material to entertain her base.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. How about taking away just one woman's right to vote?

Namely Ann Coulter. Since she seems not to know how to register in her proper voting precinct.

[AtomicKitten]

18. Coulter might find her own comment offensive if she were actually a woman.

The jury is still out on that.

[Ganja Ninja]

19. If she really feels that way then she should burn her ...

voter registration card. On second thought she should eat it instead. That way there's a chance she'll choke on it.

[gratuitous]

What mystifies me . . .

Is what is the point of this "argument"? That women or blacks or any other identifiable group that votes for Democrats shouldn't vote? That their issues, as citizens, don't count? That only people who vote correctly should be allowed to vote? Or, since Ms. Coulter brings up the notion of intelligence, that there should be some kind of test for prospective voters?

It seems to me that someone voting for the party that looks out for their interests is actually voting intelligently. Ms. Coulter's "argument" is also used by racist commentators who claim that African-Americans who as a group vote so heavily for Democratic candidates are similarly benighted. Yet, when the NAACP put on a candidates' forum for the GOP, none of the leading contenders could be bothered to show up. Since the GOP doesn't show up for women, or African Americans, or Hispanics or anyone else except overrich layabouts on sinecures, why should any typical voter in his or her right mind back the GOP? Now that would be stupid.

57. sorry but ...many women have adams apples. nt

[sniffa]

22. gLad to see this thread - it brings the phobes out in force

:puke:

DU Looks peachy again.

[flakey_foont]

23. I'm a man

and have never had any difficulty voting Democratic..............that quote makes absolutely no sense, but considering the source....

[sutz12]

42. Haven't you heard? Real men vote Republican.

:evilgrin:

Oh, and :sarcasm:

[Katherine Brengle]

24. I make a real effort not to blame women for internalizing this shit, but she's an exception to that

rule.

I fucking hate this woman with all of my being.

Someone needs to douse her in ice water and remind her why she has that cushy job writing this drivel and making tv and radio appearances all the time. It's certainly not because of women like her.

Disgraceful.

[Voice for Peace]

58. but I believe this is what she thrives on

"I fucking hate this woman with all of my being."

Hate in any of us, even if it's socalled righteous hate,
just feeds the agenda of hateful people.. think about it.

Hateful people cultivate hate. Everybody has the seed
of hate in them.. some cultivate it, some don't. If cultivated, it
provides the nourishment for everything hateful.

[Toots]

25. Why oh why do I click on these Coulter threads

:banghead: :hurts:

[Katherine Brengle]

26. WTF IS UP WITH ALL THE "ANN COULTER IS A MAN" RESPONSES HERE?

I though we here at DU went over this a long time ago.

I am disappointed.

[sniffa]

28. what? you expect anything Less from here?

[CT_Progressive]

46. Ann said women vote for Dems, so by her own words, she's a man.

what?
:)

[NMMNG]

54. Dream on

Homophobia, transphobia and the like are very much alive here. :-(

[La Lioness Priyanka]

62. why would you let some transphobia get in the way of your day?

:sarcasm:

[deminks]

27. OOPSIE, Ann just disenfranchised her own self, oh wait...nt

[July]

29. Well, she's one single woman who has voted stupidly, i.e., fraudulently.

Apparently, she doesn't see the irony.

[Efilroft Sul]

31. Dems should start referring to Ann as the "White House Spokesperson."

Or the RNC spokesperson. When either organization comes out and denies she's their spokesperson or denounces whatever outrageous statement she made, then you cause a split between her and that organization, and the Republican base gets taken along for the ride.

It's a wonderful Bartcop tactic. If the neutered Congresscritters had any sack, they'd be employing this little trick.

[blogslut]

33. AC book release = Another Crazy Hate-Filled Spew

n/c

[Mad_Dem_X]

53. So true - she's gotta be pushing a book

That's about the only time she crawls out from under her rock.

[truebrit71]

35. Not only shouldn't they vote, they shouldn't speak in public....or look at a man unless...

..he's a family member...

What a stupid fucking bitch this "woman" is...

I cannot wait for the day when "she" fades into irrelevance and gets swallowed up in a pool of her own venom and bile...

[gollygee]

36. And if we took away a woman's right to write, we'd never have to worry about Ann Coulter

or me, for that matter.

She is a very odd person. Do even conservative people pay attention to her?

[BlueIris]

37. Someone get this woman to a psych unit. She needs HELP.

[fudge stripe cookays]

38. Where's Alice Paul when we need her?

I think if she was alive she'd slap her face, after the forced feeding tube and all the other abuse she was subjected to to EARN THAT RIGHT.

Gah.

[Eurobabe]

39. She REALLY did not say this did she?

The misogynist bee-yotch?

[ladyVet]

40. I think she is the stupid-voting single woman

that she is so fond of bashing. :crazy:

I have voted Democratic both as a married woman and as a single woman for more than 20 years. I still remember the day my then-husband and I were standing in line waiting to vote at my first election. He very confidently was going on and on about how I would be so glad to finally have a Repuglican president, since I was doing my duty as a good wife and voting the way my husband told me to. It came as somewhat of a shock to his fundy, fake Christian ass when I told him that I hadn't seen anyone yet with an R behind their name that would induce me to vote other than for the Democrat.

Huh, all these years later, and I still smile.:evilgrin:

[spanone]

41. why anyone listens to her is beyond me

[Yavin4]

43. Anne Coulter Is Not The Problem

The problem is our corporate news media that proffers her up as a serious commentator on issues of the day.

[renie408]

44. She sounds desperate for attention. n/t

[npincus]

47. when you see a wreck, look away and don't stop

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

48. There's unsaid code in there -- remember, black vote is even MORE lopsided in favor of Dems. -nt

[Mike Daniels]

50. Never thought of it that way. Too bad a reporter won't think of bringing that up to her

[SteelPenguin]

49. If you took away the right of white men to vote...

We'd never have to worry about Republicans again... It's a good way of making the point that white men are voting so stupidly, at least married well-off white men.

[Old and In the Way]

51. This is going to play well with Republican women, I think.

Maybe they'll take Ann's cue and voluntarily stop voting. She should at least heed her own advice. And this person is taken seriously as a Republican talking head? Keep 'em coming, Annie!

[Mad_Dem_X]

52. She is insane. There's no other explanation.

There can't be. The things she says are so friggin' out there; no sane person would say that crap, or believe it.

[Zambero]

55. Nothing surprises me about Coulter any more

If anything, she performs a service. She's a walking, talking, venom-regurgitating example of what so many conservatives truly believe in but have the better judgment not to say. As such, she manages to discredit the conservative movement again and again by exposing its true colors for all to see. I'm guessing that a number of independent and moderate female voters will take pause after hearing this latest outburst.

[Beelzebud]

56. Wow... A woman arguing in favor of stripping her own right to vote....

Thats a Republican for you.

[tigereye]

60. excellent comment Beelzebud!

:thumbsup:

Coulter is just beyond comprehension... :crazy:

[Hubert Flottz]

59. My pipe dream...

Ann takes a high dive into a low bucket of Dave Vitter's Dirty Pampers.

[DemGa]

61. Yes, poor Ann hates women

she has a daddy fixation, she's an authoritarian, she's a really sick right-winger. Keep talking Annie.

[Andy Canuck]

63. I'm assuming

she doesn't have a penis and will be voting Democratic. If I could vote I would vote Democratic, perhaps I should swap genitalia with her. (EEEeeewwww now that is an icckkkyy thought.)
