Coulter Says Obama Is ‘Specially Situated’ To Racially Profile Because He Attended A Madrassa

Following Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s failed attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner over Detroit, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter has dedicated the last few days to reviving the myth that Obama attended a radical Islamic madrassa as a child in Indonesia. According to Coulter, that puts his administration in a unique position to institute racial profiling to prevent future attacks.

Coulter began the week on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor deceptively insisting that since Obama attended madrassas and has brown skin, that means that “if anyone can say we’re going to look for radical Islamists, it ought to be President Obama.” On the December 30 edition of Fox News’ Glenn Beck, Coulter once again promoted the madrassa lie as a way to justify and encourage racial profiling by the Obama administration:

" …If anything, I mean — I mean, they kept using it as a selling point that Obama would throw Islamic radicals on their hind legs when they look up and they see someone who studies with madrassas and they see the “Great Satan” has a president with a brown face and the world is going to love us. <...>

"And like I say, Obama can be doing more than Bush. He is specially situated that way, as having gone to madrassas as a child, not being a white male, which is, you know, the height of political incorrectness, but just the contrary, we’re moving in exactly doing the — making — repeating the worst mistakes of the Bush administration."

4. A walking, talking advertisement for the dire need for birth control education.
Please, people, this is what happens if you aren't careful, and practice safe sex.

11. you are the first person I have seen other than myself to use that phrase.
when people are truly beyond the pale, I say, "you are a walking ad for retroactive birth control" generally takes them awhile to figure it out. . .

13. I have used the expression...
..."postpartum abortion" before.

It can be a very lonely experience to share one's hideous thoughts with others. Or not. :hi:

You win an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii, where you will spend 3 wks in the hospital with Rush Limbaugh! Yes, Ann, you will be present in the OR when Rush has his "Mini Me" removed from his asshole, and you will be allowed to personally nurture the "mini Me" while Rush is recovering! Wait! That's not all! You'll also receive a years prescription to Oxycontin and an all expense paid trip to the Dominican Republic where you will be hooked up with the juvenile boy of your choice.....a personal favorite of all republicans!

12. so she sees her brand falling due to failin quitter and needs to come out with her
own version of "death panels". However, Madrassa just doesn't roll of the tongue as easy.

Her moronic days have past. And she knows it.

16. Any Coulter makes the best darn poster child
for SEX CHANGE OUT THERE. There is no way that anybody looking at this piece of crap can not see they were once a man pretending to be a woman.
First...there is nothing wrong with that...BUT what I find so outrageous is Coulter denies it knowing damn well they had the sex change. And on top of that makes fun and light of real people who are gay. It is downright disgusting.
