Ann Coulter Attacks Rove, Rubio For Opposition To Arizona Immigration Law

video
» 13 comments

Ann Coulter paid Juan Williams a visit on The O’Reilly Factor last night to discuss the two hottest topics in the news cycle: the Arizona immigration bill and the Goldman Sachs housing market scandal. On the former, she had some harsh words for fellow conservatives Karl Rove and Marco Rubio for attack it; on the latter, she blamed past Democratic abuses of power and claimed the proposed financial reform bill “looks like it was written by Hugo Chavez.”

Coulter defended the law against what she called “blatant, blatant lying” about the potential for racial profiling, and argued that “it’s not like Arizona is inventing this legal principle.” When asked about the reaction of many fellow consevatives, including Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio, Karl Rove, and Texas governor Rick Perry, Coulter said she was “upset”– especially at Rubio– and that she thought “they are responding to the nonsense that is being published out there. People get bullied into taking silly positions.”

In the case of Goldman Sachs betting against their clients and the housing market and making hundreds of millions on what they called “the big short,” Coulter saw it as a problem perpetuated by Democrats, even though Williams rebutted that Wall Street has been a closer ally of Republicans. What Americans should be angry about, she claims, is “multi-billion dollar bailout of AIG that went straight into the pockets of Goldman.”

    I do hope the Police did not ask for their papers.

    PINAL COUNTY, AZ — Authorities say 17 undocumented immigrants were arrested during a search for suspects after a Pinal County Sheriff’s deputy was shot in a desert area southwest of Casa Grande Friday afternoon.

    Pinal County Sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar said Saturday morning that three of those in custody match the description given by the deputy to investigators at the scene. They are now being interviewed by investigators.

    According to Villar, the deputy, 53-year-old Louie Puroll, was patrolling the desert alone when he found bales of marijuana and was confronted by five suspected undocumented immigrants around 4:30 p.m. Two were apparently armed with rifles.

    I find it hard to believe that drug smuggling illegal immigrants shot a border patrol agent…Are you sure they weren’t just carrying bales of hay to feed cattle? I’ll bet you a million dollars it was a “tea bagger” that shot the agent. Illegal immigrants only come here seeking work.

    You need to understand that Coulter is a lot like Beck (Okay, I know, you can stop laughing). But here’s what I mean; they are both first class bullshitters. I wouldn’t expect her to say anything different.

    Coulter should be required to show her penis during every “lawful contact” with a police officer.

  • blueblogger

    Big_F-ing_Deal please you are giving “transgenered people” a bad name.

    Big_F-ing_Deal, if we drop the last seven letters of your name you have nailed yourself for exactly what you are!

    Coulter is right, she is always right. I get sick of republican cowards that comment before they read the law. Arizona is right and they should not backdown. Isn’t funny to see illegals demonstrating so they can legally break the law and we actually have American citizens supporting this nonsense.

  • Averreauxii

    Gordon, you fool. American HISPANIC citizens are demonstrating as well unless you do not consider hispanics as “real” American citizens. Says more about you.

  • ingenieux

    Shut up, you stupid child!

    Dan Abrams, you have sold you out and I’m not talking about your “liberal” sensibility. A lawyer has hired a child represent his credebility…a tween who makes all women – and now, especially men thanks to you – look bad.

    I’m no lawyer (and now I doubt you are) but I would NEVER hire a child who uses the EXAMINER as her source of credibility less than 6 months after said source denounces for LYING ABOUT A GUY SHE NEVER MET!!!!

    I could give a rats ass if she blew him or wished she brought over his $5 champagne. MY DEALI HAVE UN-SUBSCRIBED FROM THIS P.O.S. SPAM SITE EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST YEAR AND YET YOU SEND OUT MORE SPAM FROM LESS CREDIBLE SOURCES THAN GLENN BECK EMPLOYS WHEN HE BUYS COMMUNIST ART RELICS AND BLAME THE SOUVENIER ON A JEWISH GUY WHO DIED 50 YRS AGO.

    YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!! AND YOUR FAILURE IS EVIDENT THAT YOU DON’T EVEN CARE ANY MORE!!! JENNA BUSH ON THE TODAY SHOW IS MORE CREDIBLE THAN YOU AND THIS CRAP IS WHY!!

  • drex94

    Ann Coulter is the only idiot that agrees with Vannitys idiotic comments-so he has her on his show constantly.

    Averreauxii CAN you READ? I said,
    “we actually have American citizens supporting this nonsense.” I don’t identify them as black, hispanic or any other race, I treat everyone the same unlike you libs that practice identity politics.

    Maybe this is the part that should be relevent to MEDIATITE:
    No, everyone is blatantly lying about what this law does. Specifically racial profiling is prohibited by the law. Cops, by the way, cannot initiate contact with anyone under the law whom they could not initiate contact with before. It’s when they’re in the process of stopping someone or arresting someone if there’s a reasonable suspicion that the person is here illegally, not based on race, not based on a suspicion of the person’s national origin. But you know, other reasons. If a cop stops a, you know, a van pull full of car, a van that’s speeding and 20 people get out and run in 20 different directions, that would cause reasonable suspicion. And it’s not like Arizona is inventing this legal principle.

    There are decades of law interpreting reasonable suspicion.

    That is certainly what all of the news has been. I mean, I’ve never seen anything, a law lied about, any public issue lied about so much. And I don’t mean commentators on other stations. I mean, they are delivering the news, claiming that this is going to be racial profiling. The cops can stop anyone. It’s like Nazi Germany. Just blatant, blatant lying.

    I bet you — I mean 51 percent supporting the law, I’m shocked it’s even that high based on what it is said out there in the press. I mean, people are busy. They have jobs, they have families. They’re listening to the commentary. They’re not going and reading the law. And let me just say, everything you’ve heard about the law, except here tonight, is a lie. And also shockingly, yesterday, “The New York Times” ran an op-ed, which I link to it anncoulter.com, telling the truth about the law. Read that before saying whether or not you support the law.

    But I think not only most Americans, but most recent immigrants from Mexico would support this law. Who are illegals taking jobs from?

    They’re not, no, no, okay on the papers thing. Immigrants to this country, noncitizens are already under federal law required to carry papers. There’s nothing new added by the Arizona law. This only allows the cop to ask someone whom he has already legally stopped for probable cause and whom he has reasonable suspicion is an illegal to ask for something that an illegal or rather that an alien is required to carry by law anyway. So that isn’t something–
