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

video
» 192 comments

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).

“So we should all be sunbathing,” O’Reilly jokes, noting that the current giant plume of radioactive material in Japan is slated to hit the United States by the end of this week. Joking aside, he implored Coulter to be “responsible” and admit that “some radiation will kill you.” She refused, possibly at last settling the debate on whether her political beliefs are based on ideology or contrarianism for its own sake, blaming “the media”– which apparently does not include the New York Times– for not reporting on the great medical uses of radiation “because it’s not sensationalistic.” No word on when Coulter’s new line of Radithor will be released (obviously, “the media” wouldn’t cover it).

    ‘Radiation Is Actually Good For You’

    This is all part of the talking points the right-wing wackos have been spreading all week that plays down Japans nuclear disaster for political purposes.
    The only difference here is the incredible poor taste it takes to joke so lightly about it.

  • jooce81

    What she fails to mention or even realize is there are different kinds (grades) of Radiation. example when you go and get an x-ray, the radiation absorbed into the body is far different (safer to a degree) than the radiation given off by the spent Uranium & Plutonium (worse kind).

    Sometimes I think she just tries to by contraversial. If the table was turned and someone like Alan Grayson was advocating for radiation treatment for whatever, she’s likely be all over the bandwagon about how bad radiation is for people…”look at what happens after chemo…you hair falls out…some get sicker….this is good for you? the liberals are trying to kill your cancer-ridden children with radiation.” Opportunist.

    By the way…radiation IS good for you….so is mercury (at acceptable levels) and high fructose-corn-sy….umm…CORN SUGAR.

    my wife had idodine treatment for hyperthyroidism…radio-active iodine. Then it became hypothyroidism.

    By the way, Ann…have some water…we had it bottled and shipped in directly from Japan for you quench your thirst with.

    Coulter is an antagonist. That’s her(his) schtick. Tonight she got Bilge-o, and got him good. She got headlines. It’s been a while since she(he) had them. Headlines sell tickets and books. It’s a business, folks.
    Now you are talking about her. Some are supporting, some are attacking. BUT SHE IS GETTING ATTENTION! This is no different than the cat-fights set up between Britney and BeYonce.
    She’s selling tickets! Get it? Like Sarah, she doesn’t give a sh%t about you! She wants your money!
    Sarah bailed on the people who elected her, for her own selfish reasons. She could have announced she had no political aspirations until after she had fulfilled her commitment to her electorate, BUT SHE DIDN’T!

  • erin

    Typical AC, headline-grabbing statement. Does anyone really think she believes most of what she says? I wish the late William F. Buckley would beam down and challenge her to a serious debate on conservative philosophy/politics–he would quickly demonstrate that she is incapable of engaging in civil discourse and show her to be nothing more than a “media whore.” She is an embarrasment to true conservatives (and I am a moderate Democrat).

    To liberal tormentor: Your comparison of windmills and nuclear power demonstrates your ignorance.
    Windmills don’t emit radiation.
    Windmills don’t produce radioactive waste (that must be stored for decades or longer).
    Just check out how many of the radioactive waste underground storage units have leaked at the Hanford plant in Washington.
    Windmills don’t emit poison that can cause miscarriages, birth defects, cancer, etc.
    Windmills don’t emit poison that can contaminate soil, groundwater, etc.
    Windmills are unlikely targets for terrorists to sabotage.
    Windmill are s o o m u c c h cheaper to build and maintain–an overall much safer, renewable source.
    So, unless you work in the industry or have lots of stocks in General Electric….just what is your agenda…or, are you just ignorant?

    She’s coming to the University of Wyoming and I bet she’ll have a receptive audience here since we have a ton of people pushing for uranium mining.

    We’re using her to raise money for gay rights though. The link to pledge is below:

    Ever sponsor your 12-year-old niece in a walk to raise awareness about a disease or cause? You know, $1.00 for every mile she completes? Well, this is similar.

    For every minute Ann Coulter speaks at the University of Wyoming on March 31st, you can pledge a specific amount. Your donations will benefit three organizations doing great work on behalf of equal rights for the GLBTQ community right here in Wyoming!

    Ann Coulter will be delivering a speech entitled “Why Liberals Are Wrong About Everything” at UW. She has apparently been giving the same speech since 2006 – evidenced by this exchange:

    “You don’t want the Republicans in power, does that mean you want a dictatorship, gay boy?”

    - Ann Coulter, in response to a student’s question: “You don’t want the Democrats in power, so does that mean you want a dictatorship?”; after her address “Liberals Are Wrong About Everything” at Indiana University (23 February 2006).

    So we take that back – she switched up the title a titch. Essentially, the UW College Republicans are bringing in a speaker who gets $20,000 to deliver a five-year-old speech chock full of hatred and topped off with a side of homophobia to UW students.

    We believe that Ann Coulter has every right to speak at UW. The more she speaks, the more money we raise. We hope she speaks until she’s hoarse, and that’s not a crack about her looks.

    Unlike Ann, who said, “Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment,” we really are fans of the First Amendment. We also believe in turning lemons like Ann into lemonade for GLBTQ organizations.

    I wouldn’t stereotype an entire room of gay men and women. I’m sure enough of them are “smart” enough to get whatever point Ann is trying to make.

    Can you think of a worse stereotype then feeling all gays should share the same monolithic political view because they’re gay? That’s not very open minded, now is it?

    She’s coming to the University of Wyoming and I bet she’ll have a receptive audience here since we have a ton of people pushing for uranium mining.

    We’re using her to raise money for gay rights though. The link to pledge is below:

    Ever sponsor your 12-year-old niece in a walk to raise awareness about a disease or cause? You know, $1.00 for every mile she completes? Well, this is similar.

    For every minute Ann Coulter speaks at the University of Wyoming on March 31st, you can pledge a specific amount. Your donations will benefit three organizations doing great work on behalf of equal rights for the GLBTQ community right here in Wyoming!

    Ann Coulter will be delivering a speech entitled “Why Liberals Are Wrong About Everything” at UW. She has apparently been giving the same speech since 2006 – evidenced by this exchange:

    “You don’t want the Republicans in power, does that mean you want a dictatorship, gay boy?”

    - Ann Coulter, in response to a student’s question: “You don’t want the Democrats in power, so does that mean you want a dictatorship?”; after her address “Liberals Are Wrong About Everything” at Indiana University (23 February 2006).

    So we take that back – she switched up the title a titch. Essentially, the UW College Republicans are bringing in a speaker who gets $20,000 to deliver a five-year-old speech chock full of hatred and topped off with a side of homophobia to UW students.

    We believe that Ann Coulter has every right to speak at UW. The more she speaks, the more money we raise. We hope she speaks until she’s hoarse, and that’s not a crack about her looks.

    Unlike Ann, who said, “Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment,” we really are fans of the First Amendment. We also believe in turning lemons like Ann into lemonade for GLBTQ organizations.

    Okay, so I’ll use Fox News as my source:
    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/09/federal-judge-rules-militarys-gay-ban-unconstitutional/

    The Log Cabin Republicans, a 19,000-member group that includes current and former military members, filed a lawsuit in 2004 seeking an injunction to stop the ban’s enforcement. Phillips will draft the injunction with input from the group within a week, and the federal government will have a week to respond.
    Government lawyers said the judge lacked the authority to issue a nationwide injunction.

    After-hours e-mails requesting comment from U.S. Department of Justice attorney Paul G. Freeborne and from the Pentagon were not immediately returned Thursday.

    The lawsuit was the biggest legal test of the law in recent years and came amid promises by President Barack Obama that he will work to repeal the policy.

    The Log Cabin Republicans said more than 13,500 service members have been fired since 1994.
    “This decision will change the lives of many individuals who only wanted to serve their country bravely,” said the group’s attorney, Dan Woods.

    dear grammie: you never presented any facts that dispute all of my points–problems w/ storage of radioactive materials, health issues, targets for terrorists…..
    Yes, windmills have a ways to go. However, alternative energy has never had consistent policial/financial support such as the oil/nuclear industries have had. Nuclear power plants are not able to get insurance from private companies–so our goverment provides the “insurance” (taxpayer’s $$$). The 12 years w/ the 2 Bushes, who were in bed w/ the oil industry, kissed-up to the Saudi royal family, were no supporters personally/politically for renewable, alternataive energy. If CA had invested in wind/solar power back in the 70′s (when then Gov. Brown encourage investing and suporrting alfternative, renewable energy), by now weat least in CA would be more ahead of the curve. But it’s no too late. Yes, I want to continue to be able to fill up my tank w/ gas and keep my lights on–like we all do. But it’s time to invest in alternative, renewable, safer energy. As far as the birds, I am aware of the problem. I love the birdies too, and I’m sure that these minor problems can be solved much easier than continuing to figure out what the “H” to do w/ all that radioactive waste.

    She had a guy from Exodus International, I know that. That might be who the previous poster is referencing.

    But she should interview him, unless he has been featured on other programs that day, etc. Then maybe she can make the argument that he’s been on. Thought I saw an interview with the Log Cabin Republicans…

    She did just interview two Wyoming republicans after doing several spots on the show about the Wyoming Legislature. I’m curious why this person from the Log Cabin Republicans didn’t make the cut.

  • erin

    While Obama has previously stated the same position on legalizing marriage between two women or men as Palin, they are hardly in the same league. Obama just supported ending the “don’t ask, don’t tell,” military policy. Plus Obama, unlike many conservatives and televangelists, etc., don’t go around saying honosexual behavior is a sin and that if you just pray enough you will “be cured” of your homosexuality. It’s is possible to have a traditional view of marriage (or take that convenient political stance on gay marriage) without bring “God’s will” into the picture.

    Ayers got protested to the point where the university banned him from setting foot on campus. He’s an expert on ed theory now, that’s what he spoke about. No bombs, and when a questioner asked how great of an example was he set for us college kids when he was in college, he replied “A very bad one.” He admitted during the Q&A that his group became dogmatic.

    If he hadn’t had his constitutional rights violated by an illegal search, he’d have done time.

    We’re not protesting her coming like others did Ayers. One person in Cheyenne suggested tying Ayers to the same fence Matthew Shepard was murdered on. We’re using the opportunity to raise money for gay rights, a cause she derides. That’s it. Some students, including republicans, are planning to picket her, but we are not connected nor supporting it.

She “tosses” her head to get her long, blond hair to fall correctly. Every move is choreographed. Ann is not a person, she is an act.

  • BatBoy

    Coulter has a point. Radium was used in watches up thru the early 1970′s.
    In the 60′s, shoe stores routinely used X-Rays machines that you could put your foot in to see that the shoes fit properly.

    Would I buy and use a radium watch now…No I would not? Would I routinely stick my foot into an X-Ray machine to see that a shoe fit…NO, I would not do that either, but is it as dangerous as you lefty loons say….NO!

    This is just another emotional response you lefties use that serves no other purpose than to try to destroy Coulter.

    To liberal tormentor: Your comparison of windmills and nuclear power demonstrates your ignorance.
    Windmills don’t emit radiation.
    Windmills don’t produce radioactive waste (that must be stored for decades or longer).
    Just check out how many of the radioactive waste underground storage units have leaked at the Hanford plant in Washington.
    Windmills don’t emit poison that can cause miscarriages, birth defects, cancer, etc.
    Windmills don’t emit poison that can contaminate soil, groundwater, etc.
    Windmills are unlikely targets for terrorists to sabotage.
    Windmill are s o o m u c c h cheaper to build and maintain–an overall much safer, renewable source.
    So, unless you work in the industry or have lots of stocks in General Electric….just what is your agenda…or, are you just ignorant?

    Looks like we have here a modern day Don Quixote tilting at wind mills.

    Ann Coulter is always telling herself and the GOP how smart she is. And she, again, has proven how stupid she really is. Why doesn’t she fly to Japan to ground zero, spend a month there and then come back and tell the world how good radiation is. So, Ann, if you are so fucking smart, why do the techs and doctors around the patients while they receive their radiation therapy, wear lead and radiation monitors that must be changed every 6 months?

    A GLOWING REPORT ON RADIATION
    by Ann Coulter
    March 16, 2011

    With the terrible earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer.

    This only seems counterintuitive because of media hysteria for the past 20 years trying to convince Americans that radiation at any dose is bad. There is, however, burgeoning evidence that excess radiation operates as a sort of cancer vaccine.

    As The New York Times science section reported in 2001, an increasing number of scientists believe that at some level — much higher than the minimums set by the U.S. government — radiation is good for you. “They theorize,” the Times said, that “these doses protect against cancer by activating cells’ natural defense mechanisms.”

    Among the studies mentioned by the Times was one in Canada finding that tuberculosis patients subjected to multiple chest X-rays had much lower rates of breast cancer than the general population.

    And there are lots more!

    A $10 million Department of Energy study from 1991 examined 10 years of epidemiological research by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health on 700,000 shipyard workers, some of whom had been exposed to 10 times more radiation than the others from their work on the ships’ nuclear reactors. The workers exposed to excess radiation had a 24 percent lower death rate and a 25 percent lower cancer mortality than the non-irradiated workers.

    Isn’t that just incredible? I mean, that the Department of Energy spent $10 million doing something useful? Amazing, right?

    In 1983, a series of apartment buildings in Taiwan were accidentally constructed with massive amounts of cobalt 60, a radioactive substance. After 16 years, the buildings’ 10,000 occupants developed only five cases of cancer. The cancer rate for the same age group in the general Taiwanese population over that time period predicted 170 cancers.

    The people in those buildings had been exposed to radiation nearly five times the maximum “safe” level according to the U.S. government. But they ended up with a cancer rate 96 percent lower than the general population.

    Bernard L. Cohen, a physics professor at the University of Pittsburgh, compared radon exposure and lung cancer rates in 1,729 counties covering 90 percent of the U.S. population. His study in the 1990s found far fewer cases of lung cancer in those counties with the highest amounts of radon — a correlation that could not be explained by smoking rates.

    Tom Bethell, author of the The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science has been writing for years about the beneficial effects of some radiation, or “hormesis.” A few years ago, he reported on a group of scientists who concluded their conference on hormesis at the University of Massachusetts by repairing to a spa in Boulder, Mont., specifically in order to expose themselves to excess radiation.

    At the Free Enterprise Radon Health Mine in Boulder, people pay $5 to descend 85 feet into an old mining pit to be irradiated with more than 400 times the EPA-recommended level of radon. In the summer, 50 people a day visit the mine hoping for relief from chronic pain and autoimmune disorders.

    Amazingly, even the Soviet-engineered disaster at Chernobyl in 1986 can be directly blamed for the deaths of no more than the 31 people inside the plant who died in the explosion. Although news reports generally claimed a few thousand people died as a result of Chernobyl — far fewer than the tens of thousands initially predicted — that hasn’t been confirmed by studies.

    Indeed, after endless investigations, including by the United Nations, Manhattan Project veteran Theodore Rockwell summarized the reports to Bethell in 2002, saying, “They have not yet reported any deaths outside of the 30 who died in the plant.”

    Even the thyroid cancers in people who lived near the reactor were attributed to low iodine in the Russian diet — and consequently had no effect on the cancer rate.

    Meanwhile, the animals around the Chernobyl reactor, who were not evacuated, are “thriving,” according to scientists quoted in the April 28, 2002 Sunday Times (UK).

    Dr. Dade W. Moeller, a radiation expert and professor emeritus at Harvard, told The New York Times that it’s been hard to find excess cancers even from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, particularly because one-third of the population will get cancer anyway. There were about 90,000 survivors of the atomic bombs in 1945 and, more than 50 years later, half of them were still alive. (Other scientists say there were 700 excess cancer deaths among the 90,000.)

    Although it is hardly a settled scientific fact that excess radiation is a health benefit, there’s certainly evidence that it decreases the risk of some cancers — and there are plenty of scientists willing to say so. But Jenny McCarthy’s vaccine theories get more press than Harvard physics professors’ studies on the potential benefits of radiation. (And they say conservatives are anti-science!)

    I guess good radiation stories are not as exciting as news anchors warning of mutant humans and scary nuclear power plants — news anchors who, by the way, have injected small amounts of poison into their foreheads to stave off wrinkles. Which is to say: The general theory that small amounts of toxins can be healthy is widely accepted –except in the case of radiation.

    Every day Americans pop multivitamins containing trace amount of zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, boron — all poisons.

    They get flu shots. They’ll drink copious amounts of coffee to ingest a poison: caffeine. (Back in the ’70s, Professor Cohen offered to eat as much plutonium as Ralph Nader would eat caffeine — an offer Nader never accepted.)

    But in the case of radiation, the media have Americans convinced that the minutest amount is always deadly.

    Although reporters love to issue sensationalized reports about the danger from Japan’s nuclear reactors, remember that, so far, thousands have died only because of Mother Nature. And the survivors may outlive all of us over here in hermetically sealed, radiation-free America.

    “Those that aren’t dead”

    So how many of those 50,000 former residents of Pripyat are actual dead, then? Though the structure of your sentence implies that many are, “those” isn’t exactly a precise number. Actually do the research, and you might surprise yourself.

    The larger argument, for the simpletons who aren’t getting it, isn’t that nuclear accidents are peachy or without consequence. It’s that nuclear accidents, depending on their severity, aren’t nearly as bad as most people think they are.

  • atp

    I’m not a conservative by any stretch, but this article is fucking brain-dead.

    “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).”

    Chemotherapy radiation doses are VERY HIGH compared to the government-regulated doses she is talking about. The cumulative limit for the radiation workers in Japan is 250 mSv. Radiation therapy doses are more like 25,000 mSv, or about 100 times that amount or more. I won’t go into it any more because everyone on this page is too much of a retard to understand it and because you don’t even care whether you’re right or wrong anyway.

    My politics are generally liberal, but Ann Coulter’s column was smart, substantive, and well-researched. Frances Martel’s column is embarrassingly stupid, vapid, and factually wrong.
