Ann Coulter Congratulates ABC News: ‘You Guys Own The Weiner Story’

Video
» 31 comments

Conservative author Ann Coulter discussed Congressman Anthony Weiner’s controversy with George Stephanopoulos on GMA and although she admitted Republicans have their own sex scandals too, she argued the Democratic response to them is always much worse. Yet she did have complimentary words for ABC News and their relentless reporting (alongside Andrew Breitbart), which helped expose Weiner.

Coulter explained the difference between liberal and conservative sex scandals:

“Conservatives respond to their sex scandals differently because we don’t elevate our leaders. There isn’t a sort of messiah worship – a mob characteristic. We’re worried about being consistent, we aren’t comfortable with contradictory thinking.”

Coulter’s dig at Democrats, that they are comfortable with contradictory thinking, is the type of humorous poke-in-the-eye that keeps her conservative followers coming back for more. She was on to promote her new book “Demonic,” and couldn’t resist continuing to suggest differences between Republicans and Democrats:

“The basic Republican response is not to attack the person who just releases the information. And by the way, congratulations to ABC. You guys own the Weiner story, you did all the reporting.”

The conversation then turned to her new book, the theme of which is that “Republicans are the party of peaceful order; Democrats are the party of noisy, violent mobs.” Coulter’s books often generate controversy of some sort, so time will tell what gets her critics riled up this time.

    Ann, of course, owns bragging rights, as her penis is bigger that than of most Congressmen.

    Most iMac people are classier than that, man.

    Agreed…Mediaite didn’t waste a single moment turning on one of their own and bringing him down. I must say…it was interesting watching the cannibalism.

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Actually, I disagree with Tat of Dem4Ever, Mediaite did their best to try to defend him at first.

  • TangledThorns

    Fact: A flag burner and property smashing anarchist is more likely to vote Democrat than Republican.

    Subject: May 1

    Official title and verse incomplete.

    God is the Governor of all men’s affairs

    Proved to Franklin, yes that Benjamin as History declares

    Men of action asking wisdom their motives be right.

    Though right Guided, still their motives teeming demons deride.

    Lincoln’s Crew who’s actions were due their reward,

    Were subjected with George Bush ridicule so untoward

    Lest those demons were to embezzle those Hero’s posterity

    Intervention was in order and its means oh so timely

    Providence that directed that holy mission

    Took care that good men not forever bear derision

    Held the hand that would slay the evil bin Laden

    ‘Till time would align to prove right Bush on the Lincoln

    Eight years may seem long to finally repair

    But His time had allow that mission mature

    Freedom’s seed could be damaged before rooted deeply

    Among the tares Lilac fingers grow the harvest so lovely

    George demanded Osama killed if not taken alive

    Those words would find meaning teleprompted live

    His successor if only present found something to say

    Bush’s prayer our desire was rewarded that day

    As for Hitler, so bin Laden rang out justice in May

    Let all hearken to Ben Franklin lest we fall to dismay

    The same One who directed our Founders affairs

    Guided Seals that smart weapon in divine time His way.

    Ask thyself was it thee helping demons cultivate tares?

    While the lilacs languished suffer at the edge of despair

    Or did you champion the words spoken that bright May Day.

    By God’s servant, our elected, yeah that Texan Cowboy.

    The poem didn’t post in groups of four as was written for some reason.

  • Big Eddie

    Good point , Annie . Liberals , without fail viciously attack the messenger and direct their anger at anyone who exposes the misdeeds of a member of their herd .

  • Pablo

    CNN hardest hit.

    Manfred? That guy rocks.

  • LOGICandREASON

    I’d rather give more credit to CNN than ABC.

    At the onset it was CNN who did more to get to the bottom of the story and asking the tough question, ABC only decided to cover the story when they had no choice eventually.

  • LOGICandREASON

    Ann Coulter was only being modest to her host by giving full credit to ABC; besides she’s on a book tour, and I can understand she has to be nice to her host. I would only take her compliments to ABC as genuine if she made them on FOX or CNN.

    Ann Coulter is still my girl anyway, and I’d definitely order my copy of the book or perhaps a few copies for my children and I.

    Poor Coulter. Trying to remain relevant is difficult.

    Yeah, the poor thing is having a terrible go of it.

    Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #2 in Books

  • Glackin

    Annie’s got a book to sell! That makes her an expert on the Weiner affair?
    There are 20 threads on the “Front Page” today. 14 of them are about Weinergate.
    Everybody has been interviewed but the driver of the Weinermobile.
    I can’t wait.

    How empathetic of you. It seems like being the author of 7 best-selling books indicates some degree of relevance. I think your pity would be better diverted to Joe Biden or Barbara Boxer.

  • Sam M.

    This guy Coulter would love the Weiner story.

  • seek

    ahh the left is revving up to do what they do best.

    She owned George – that should do for today.
    onward to tomorrow Ann! lol

  • purveyor

    I have a fairly good idea what Ms. Coulter’s book is about and I am looking forward to reading. Previously, I rather enjoyed her book “Treason”, as the book confirmed many of my suspicions along with providing some very enlightening information.

    Turned out Alger Hiss really was a spy and “Tail Gunner Joe” McCarthy was right. The Government and Military was chocked full of Demo…oops, I mean Communists.

    Just an afterthought: Do you think Democrats (Socialists) are more likely to play Checkers or Chess?
    Candy land?

  • purveyor

    To: PABLO,

    “Six Days Bitch”, and the Star of David? Seems a bit incongruous. What is the significance? Something to do with the 6 Day War?

    Just curious…

  • kenn

    Judging by “her” adams apple, my guess is coullter has a weiner story of her own.

  • http://politicallyincorrectlibertarian.wordpress.com PoliticallyIncorrectLibertarian

    She doesn’t have an Adam’s apple, she’s skinny, so we see more bones in her than in women like fatass Mooshelle Obama.
