Ann Coulter On The O’Reilly Factor: ‘Radiation Is Actually Good For You’

[HarveyDarkey]

Nuclear physicist and medical expert Ann Coulter has spoken, and it turns out that a giant radioactive plume floating across the Pacific may be just what the doctor ordered for fretting California residents. On tonight’s O’Reilly Factor, Coulter told host Bill O’Reilly that “radiation is good for you,” and cited a number of articles in the New York Times showing radiation has a positive effect on cancer patients. Then, of course, she blamed “the media” for not covering it.

Yes, it turns out that Coulter can find it in her heart to praise the New York Times– at least for their scientific coverage. “There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says is actually good for you and actually reduces cancer,” she told a very skeptical O’Reilly, citing her latest column on her website as filled with evidence of this being true. Note: she is not making a political argument about nuclear energy here. She is making a medical point: that radiation is good for the human body in doses larger than what the government regulation standards currently are, not just in the small doses given in processes like chemotherapy (which no one will deny often cure cancer).

2. Is she volunteering to walk into the reactors in Japan? They need the help.

[LeftinOH]

3. Well. it's good for radioactive monsters --like her. n/t

[hobbit709]

4. Look what it did for her.

8. "RepubliGoons luvs them my RAD look. Totally." - Ann Coulter (R - Propaganda Pimp)

[Earth Bound Misfit]

14. I'd be willing to wager that's not even Photoshopped. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Really? Would she like to see my scars from radiation treatments?

[spanone]

6. she obviously never listens to herself....dumber than snot

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Words of wisdom from the human X-Ray.

STFU, bones.

[tallahasseedem]

9. I think she should head over there...

and give us updates every hour about what is going on.

[daggahead]

10. This is the same "woman" that ...

... told a Canadian Broadcasting Corp news anchor that he was wrong about whether Canada sent troops to Vietnam. When "she" was told that "SHE" was wrong, "SHE" tried to imply that the gentleman from Canada didn't know his history.

Ann Coulter is just trying to get publicity ... any kind of publicity ... :eyes:

[liberal N proud]

11. And the FOXBOX crowd believed her

This is really pushing the propaganda to new lows.

[hifiguy]

12. Well then, let's drop this f***ing harpy into

one of the reactors in Japan without a hazmat suit for a few days and test its thesis.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

13. ."Nuclear physicist and medical expert Ann Coulter" lol...

30. I can tell that you enjoy throwing around highly offensive slurs

"kochsuckers" and "cunt" - in a relatively short amount of time, you've managed to use slurs that are highly offensive to gays and women.

33. Makes me wonder what descriptives he has used about, say, Allen West or Bobby Jindal. n/t

[demmiblue]

22. I object. n/t

[Angry Dragon]

17. Then she needs to get her skinny butt out to California

stand on the beach and lift her arms to the sky and catch as much of that healing radiation as she can get.
Before someone decides to start charging for all that healing radiation

[DainBramaged]

18. I will pay for that piece of shit to go to assist in the reactor clean up

insisting she do it in heels and a miniskirt......

[Hugabear]

19. I guess all those people at Chernobyl died from too much happiness?

And I don't know why people complain about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After all, that radiation was good for them.

:sarcasm:

[ChoppinBroccoli]

21. That's Why DOCTORS (You Know, People Who Actually KNOW Things?) Wear Lead Aprons

And just look how healthy people receiving chemotherapy look. Why, they look positively vibrant! No ill effects whatsoever!

[get the red out]

23. At least we know what happened to her

She probably glows in the dark herself.

[demmiblue]

24. What a vile, vile person.

She thrives on being the lowest of the low.

:puke:

[AngryOldDem]

25. She should go over and offer to take over for one of the 50 plant workers, then.

I'm sure they would appreciate the break and Ann could get her RDA of radiation.

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

26. Yea, everyone knows how healthy the Nagasaki/Hiroshima survivors were.

:sarcasm:

C'mon, Dr. Coultergeist, peruse through the Google images of survivors, I dare you.

[lutefisk]

27. So that's what FOX News chooses to show? Very disturbing!...nt

[Matariki]

29. After observing Palin and Bachmann she realizes the only way to get attention

and remain relevant is to say batshit crazy things.

[VWolf]

32. Sounds like she's channelling Barbara Bush

So this is all working out quite well for them ....

Evil bitch

[JHB]

34. Sure, Ann. It gives you super-powers.

Any comic-book reader knows that. After all, in real life the world is full of Spider-men and Hulks and Daredevils and Fantastic Fours thanks to occasional nuclear-related accidents.

:banghead:

The "good for you" radiation treatments involve controlled dosages projected from different angles so that the cumulative effect is focused where all the different projections overlap - the targeted tumor - and minimize everywhere else as much as possible.

Which is completely different from uncontrolled intake of radioactive particulates.

So she is either dumb or facile enough not to understand this difference, or she's lying again.
And the same applies to Billo for not pointing this out.
