Ann Coulter
I have ignored her primarily because she is such a fucking joke. But her recent comments are insensitive and work against everything we as Americans want to represent to the outside world.
Coulter on Muslims:
“I think our motto should be post-9-11, ‘raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.’” (This declaration prompted a boisterous ovation.)
Coulter on killing Bill Clinton:
(Responding to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemma) “There was one time I had a shot at Clinton. I thought ‘Ann, that’s not going to help your career.’”
Coulter on moderate Republicans:
“There is more dissent on a slave plantation then amongst moderates in the Republican party.”
Coulter on the Holocaust:
“Iran is soliciting cartoons on the Holocaust. So far, only Ted Rall, Garry Trudeau, and the NY Times have made submissions.”
Coulter on the Supreme Court:
“If we find out someone [referring to a terrorist] is going to attack the Supreme Court next week, can’t we tell Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalito?”
I’m not even sure what credibility she has to be so popular as she is other than her sensationalistic rants full of factually incorrect statements. In an interview with the CBC….
Coulter: “Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?”
Bob McKeown counters: “No, actually, Canada didn’t send troops to Vietnam… Australia was there, not Canada”
Here’s video proof.
Unfortunately, her recent comments will make the rounds at the various international news publications and readers will naturally associate Coulter as an American —- with America and everyone else who lives here.
It’s the same thing that happens with President Bush, but on a much larger scale. He says or does something completely stupid and the Americans that didn’t vote for him end up looking like a bunch of jack asses.
I’d like to scream to people abroad that Bush, Michelle Malkin, and Ann Coulter do not represent me and most of the people I know.
