Coulter: 'I'm more likely to be shot than the president-All Political Violence Is Committed By Left'
Coulter: I'm more likely to be shot than the president


'All political violence is committed by the left,' she says

Ann Coulter is at it again. In a discussion with Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera, the loud-mouthed conservative pundit defended protesters' rights to bring guns to events where President Barack Obama is speaking, positing that "all political violence is committed by the left."

..................

"All political violence is committed by the left in this country," Coulter remarked, adding wryly, "So you want these tea parties to be as safe as post offices and public schools, where people aren't allowed to be armed."

Coulter said that the portrayal of individuals at tea party protests being close to President Obama was falsely portrayed by the press, adding, "By the way, I'm more likely to be shot than the president."

36. Well, partly.
Apparently she believes the right is not at all violent. I guess that's why Dr. Tiller was killed, and apprently why Stephen Tyrone Johns family is now without him.....That's why the right wing idiots are carrying fire arms to rally's where the president is expected. That's why we see signs at other "rallies" saying "We came unarmed (this time)". All because the left is violent, but the right isn't.

This woman really needs to be in a psych hospital somewhere.

Because the only time she opens her mouth is the time she has to sell some books to morons.

14. That's the first thing that popped into my mind, also. She makes these
outrageous (and untrue) statements to stir up interest whenever she has something new to sell.

32. She will say anything to make the news.
As a business model, it seems to be working for her. I have decided that her entire persona and opinion set were designed to sell books, make money, and be famous.

8. HUH????? The party of up is down, black is white, good is evil...
...now comes up with this? Murders of abortion providers, the Holocaust Museum shooter, the Unitarian gunman, the Atlanta bombings, McVey, etc... all RW nuts. As is Coulter. I guess if you tell people it's raining they won't believe you're pissing down their neck.

You'd have to be an amazing shot to hit her with a bullet. But one cream pie? I refer you to the case of the Wicked Witch of the West v. Bucket of Water: Bucket 1, Witch 0.

They're the ones who keep tabs on the Kluxers, Neo-Nazis, and other RW hate groups. They keep statistics on all the political violence committed by these nutjobs from the RW.

Let's see, to add to the growing list, there was the old guy who shot the guard at the Holocaust Museum. He was no leftist.

And the name escapes me... the Olympic bomber who also bombed abortion clinics and gay bars.

21. Most political violence is committed by totalitarians -- by people who support torture,
Edited on Mon Sep-21-09 10:47 AM by BuyingThyme
imperialism, government spying, government propaganda, the re-writing of history. Be they communist or fascist, totalitarians tend to support this crap.

But the "left' in the United States does not support totalitarianism. We don't even appear on the totalitarian spectrum. In the United States, Republicans have a monopoly on totalitarianism.

35. Understood, but I think we need some forethought here cause this is how they control the message...
My husband says, as an adage; a fox smells his own hole first, or maybe like in a car full of friends off to go somewhere and one of them farts then they're all like, "Who farted? Was it you!? It *was* you! I *know* it was you!" when they know damn well who stank up the place - so while Coulter and the rest of them are simply projecting, projections do stick. And a little perspective and truth in that mix will have them spitting on their own lips in no time

,...associated with right-wing violence in this country while simultaneously clinging to lies associated with so-called 'left-wing' attacks because she is a neo-nazi corporate profiteer who does not give one iota of a caring nerve about anyone other than her own financial wealth as does all her colleagues.
