Ann Coulter: The Liberal Media Will Stop At Nothing To Screw Up The Republican Primary

audio
» 88 comments

Laura Ingraham had Ann Coulter on her radio show Wednesday to discuss the GOP field.

“I think the liberal media will stop at nothing to screw up the Republican primary,” Coulter weighed in, adding that Newt Gingrich would not make an “ideal” candidate for the GOP. Why? Because, well. He’s kind of a dork:

I mean, he said last night on Hannity that his cutting an ad with Nancy Pelosi on the urgency of global warming was a terrible mistake and he shouldn’t have done it. But he did it! And it just… I mean, it has all of the earmarks of the chubby boy who desperately wants to be liked.

What’s more, she added, there’s the issue of Gingrich’s messy divorce. Ingraham put this in perspective, wondering aloud which candidate’s history with women would fare better under the media glare… Cain’s?

Coulter said her money’s been on Mitt Romney since 2008 — barring, of course, the participation of her “true love,” New Jersey’s Chris Christie.

Later, Ingraham characterized Gingrich as the only candidate (other than Cain in his “best moments”) who “consistently gets crowds excited and brings people to their feet.” Coulter, meanwhile, finds Gingrich to be incredibly, sleep-inducingly boring, adding that she’d take Cain or Bachmann over Gingrich.

The ladies were able to agree, however, that Romney seems to be the post poised and focused during debates.

    The Republican party has assembled the worst collection of presidential candidates in the history of the United States. They don’t need any help.

  • expatpatriot

    For most of the electorate, this is definitely a “stand back and watch” self-destruction. The media scrum will do what media scrums do — look for the newest, gaudiest thing to peck at — but in terms of screwing up, the Republicans are way ahead of the field.
     
    I’m not saying the media isn’t enjoying it (as am I, for that matter), just that the destruction is purely suicidal rather than homocidal.
     
    Trust Coulter to victimize herself.

    This is kind of a fun debate tonight; all the candidates are following Newt;s lead and giving it to the liberals who are asking the questions; kind of fun from that perspective alone

    The media is dead to conservatives anyway, and now watching these candidates pretty much laugh in their libearls faces is entertaining

    Ugh…who cares about Ann Coulter anymore? She hasn’t been relevant in years. Every four years, she crawls out of her hole, solely to spread her hate-speech on any platform that will admit her.

    i may sound like im rambling but im just frustrated at a lot of different things. I hate seeing people argue in such a childish way like im reading on this post and others. We should all be able to voice our opinions without being called names or anything like that. When you have to start calling people names or being demeaning to people than to me that is where you start losing credibility in the point your trying to make. Why must people say things like stupid libs or stupid republicans etc… There is so much political divide in this country. Democrats and Republicans are both ruining America. Wake up people Republicans and Democrats are just playing a big political game and we the people are stuck in it and being used. They want people to choose sides and to build up their political party. If people could just think more open mind-idly you can see right past this non-sense. If you listen to democrats and republicans complain about each other you would hear almost the exact same thing from both sides. Both dems and republicans have lied, have flip flopped, have said things they would do and did not do it, they both say things people want to hear, they both are corrupted by money and greed and so on. I would take people like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ed Schults, Lawrence O Donnell more seriously when they can criticize their own party like they do the other side. I would take the media more serious when they decide not to have so many damn opinion anchors on tv. Most of this crap on the news is more entertaining than anything else. All they talk about right now is Cain,Perry and Romney and that all you really hear as if those are the only 3 running for president. There are a lot of real news stories out there that can fill in the time instead of spending the first 30 minutes and the last 15 minutes of a news show to talk about 3 people. But what i really want to get at is this political divide we are all in. Both democrats and republicans have ruined this country dont you think its time for a change. I think its time to get rid of both parties and just have people without being tied to one party and than have real debates about things because right now its all the same every time.

    The media doesn’t need to help with anything, this field has done the metaphorical equivalent of shooting themselves in the foot, reloading the gun, and then shooting the other one

    Ric Perry’s down right embarrassing debate performances

    Bachmann’s consistent butchering of historical facts

    Newt trying to be a social religious conservative, nuff said

    Herman Cain and his ability to somehow keep burying the hatchet in his own back, seriously the man accused of sexual harassment decides to insult a woman

    Jon Huntsman, well he believes in science, which somehow disqualifies him

    Mitt Romney, if ever someone fit the stereotypes of a politician who will do anything to get elected, does he even remember his real positions

    Ron Paul, he’s prob been the most consistent of the bunch, if he would just understand that the US can’t effectively cut itself off from the rest of the world, that was tried in first half of the 20th century a couple times, didn’t really work out so well

    Ric Santorum, a comedic punchline known more for googling his last name

    Seriously, this should not be a satisfying to any Republican, George Bush Sr, Regan, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, what the heck happened?

    Excellent analysis!
    Exception: Ron Paul and cutting off from the rest of the world. He believes in absolute free trade and even letting “illegal” aliens come work here. He is that libertarian. My point is he knows the rest of the world is there and we must be competitive with it, but not by putting up tariffs and not by having an absolutely unbeatable military. We don’t need either one of those.
    My only problem with him is his fixation on the gold standard and the FED.
    What all of the Republican candidates refuse to recognize is that getting rid of entire government departments instantly would put millions more people on the jobless roles. It would be cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

    All the candidates still lie about taxes. Cain’s plan is the most ridiculous. Perry’s is just as bad but not as ridiculous because of the name.
    Bachmann should have given up a month ago, but she still makes a big deal about the US having the second highest tax rate in the world. Why won’t she say what country has the highest tax rate and how it is doing?
    Ireland did a massive tax cut and flat tax and had a booming economy FOR A WHILE, but now it is worse off than we are, by far.
    All of the tax lies keep adding up, and some folks do challenge them, but Teapublicans ignore reality.

    Doesn’t matter.  Obama should resign and give the democrats a CHANCE to retain the presidency.   Republicans will crawl through an ice storm to vote in 2012, independents will either NOT show up or vote republican and likely against any incumbent regardless.

    Obama should have listened to the Clinton folks and worked on a bi-partisan basis.  He chose to go all-in liberal.

    The key for dems is to save the senate.   You could run anyone for the republican prez candidate, and anyone will win.  Mostly because no matter what, the angry voters will be voting.

    Excuse me Mr. Coulter but no one his putting a gun to these republicon candidates’ heads and forcing them to say the things they say.  The media is just reporting it.  While the base of the republican/libertarian/tea party resides in this alternate universe of lies, hypocrisy, and manipulative journalism where moderate conservative candidates such as Jon Huntsman don’t have a chance… more and more Americans are catching up with what most of the world is already seeing.  And they are agasp with the behavior of the republican/libertarian/tea party base and just how irrationally (borderline, bat shit crazy) they have gone far right.

    The republican party has done a real good job of screwing itself. And the Ronald Reagan, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, perceived TPARTY Nation is an abject failure. the current crop of candidates cratering to the TBAGGERS is a full exposure of the failure of “Trickle down economics” for the american people. The repugs don’t like the monsters they have created, so they try to blame  it on “the other”, so much for taking responsibility. The rot of the failed republican policies is rising to the top for all to see and feel repulsed. The extreme TBAG policies which would create an oligarchy, establish fascism as the standard form of govt on the state levels (i.e. MI-the ultimate insult to american democracy) and turn back the clock to trying to resolve 21st century problems with 18th century approaches are repugnant to decent folk. The repugs have repulsed themselves and the nation.
