Ann Coulter Calls Patty Murray “Abject Moron” On Hannity

video
» 35 comments

Ann Coulter appeared on Hannity tonight for the second time in two weeks. On her last appearance she took aim at Republicans who didn’t support Christine O’Donnell, and while she got in some shots at the Republican establishment this time as well, Coulter also kept her focus (mostly) on Democrats…especially Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).

Coulter’s strongest shot at the GOP establishment this week comes at 6:44 of the clip below (is that “swine” she calls them?), but Murray, whom she called an “abject moron” Democrats try to keep from saying anything, was the prime target (as she was in Coulter’s column today) – and Coulter had ammo to work with. Chief among that ammo – a 2002 speech where Murray said Osama bin Laden is loved in the Middle East because he’s spent money on schools, infrastructure, and “health care facilities,” among other things. The remarks were unpopular with many, and while Murray also called bin Laden “an evil terrorist” in the same address, it’s hard to believe anyone thought saying anything the remotest bit positive-sounding about bin Laden wouldn’t be jumped on by political opponents, and rub many others the wrong way.

Coulter also jumped on a passage from a radio interview Murray conducted early in her first term in the 1990s, in which she proposed instituting programs to help children deal with the issue of guns in schools – and compared it to students hiding under desks in the 1950s to prepare for an A-bomb attack (a plan which, of course, would have accomplished nothing in the event of an actual attack).

Finally, Coulter used some of her trademark subtlety in saying that Murray, in once fighting to save a parenting-skills class she was teaching, was “just a public employee trying to save her useless, pointless job.” Coulter is never boring. Video of the segment below.

    Accuracy is very important. Good job, Ann.

  • soccermom

    Patty Murray, one of many reasons I ran away screaming from the liberal bastion of Seattle. The beauty of it wasn’t enough of a counterweight to all of the moronic liberals overtaking it.

  • Some_Dude

    Well, “abject moron” is a pretty tame compared to the vile that she usually spews.

  • JimBob

    Is Ann the first to mention it ???
    Hell, anyone in Seattle could have told you that.

  • The Real Royal King

    Let’s see. Randi the Witch, an abject moron and a liar. Senator Murray, allegedly an abject moron. Randi good, Senator Murray bad. You have to love these zany radical rightists, don’t you?

    Living in a liberal bastion myself, a bastion with an amazingly high quality of life, I can understand why you might feel uncomfortable in a liberal bastion. They tend to demand articulate, intelligent, creative, tolerant, motivated, self-disciplined, refined people. I’m sure you were very much out of place. You know, SLC is becoming more-and-more Seattle/San Jose/Austin/Madison like. Have you considered Tuscaloosa?

    I doubt you ran screaming from Seattle because liberals were overtaking it. That was hyperbole at its worst.

    But wouldn’t that fall under the “tolerant” definition? You might lose your liberal bastion ID card.

    Apparently, with six thumbs down, for my not liking some ranting to a commenter to kill himself, there are a bunch of right wingers who think that threatening someone, who egg someone to commit suicide. How low can you go, right wingers?

    Come on, Robert. We’ve seen your video. The only place you’d fit in is a haunted house.

  • notsofast

    where Murray said Osama bin Laden is loved in the Middle East because he’s spent money on schools, infrastructure, and “health care facilities,” among other things.”

    Typical of libs; defend the indefensible. I bet Murry was shocked that OBL didn’t win the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2002.

    They tend to demand articulate, intelligent, creative, tolerant, motivated, self-disciplined, refined people. I’m sure you were very much out of place.

    I don’t think there is any evidence that these traits are exclusively possessed by “progressives”. I know many people with all of these traits on both the left and the right. It’s just not valid to infer from one’s admiration of a particular point of view the stellar traits of oneself and those who share that point of view. It seems to me ungenerous and braggadocious.

    It belies an irrational adherence to one’s point of view that is so strong, one seems to have forgotten the train of rational thought that brought one to this point of view to begin with. For if you could remember what it was that persuaded you, you would delineate that persuasive argument rather than demean those who disagree with you.

    I mean, why not just say, “I disagree with you.” That’s your underlying point, isn’t it, that you disagree with the person you are criticizing? It’s a fancy way of calling someone a “doodie head”, although less childish. It’s almost certain to engender responses containing words like “douchenozzle” (I’d never heard that one before).

    It’s a fancy way of calling someone a “doodie head”, although less childish.

    To clarify my point, I presume “The Real Royal King” probably is intelligent and tolerant, but his statement does not demonstrate that and, as Penguin60 pointed out, it demonstrates the opposite of tolerance.

    Doesn’t the name itself exude a disdain for others? Not just “Royal King”, but “The Real Royal King” — to distinguish himself from pretenders to whatever throne he believes he is heir to.

    I just don’t think that kind of arrogance is conducive to persuading other people to agree with his point of view.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Robert-White/1479114225 Robert White

    Kudos to Ann for pointing out that there are a few less than stellar intellects who have managed to get elected to the Senate. Boxer and Murray are two. There are probably some Republicans, though I can’t say who. So when people accuse O’Donnell or Palin or Bush of being stupid, I think the charge is unfair. Not everybody is going to be as intelligent or articulate as Bill Clinton, but for all his assets, Clinton made some awful judgments (not just in his treatment of women).

    Alamo, I think the problem is you call out “right wingers”, yet ignore the crap coming from your compatriots on the left. You called me out over the weekend for something pretty benign compared to what the person I was addressing had said. By the way, I did apologize in a response to you, but I guess you never checked back to see if anyone had replied to your post.

    BFD once laughed when Michelle F mentioned that her husband had died. That low enough?

    he cherrypicks posts that extend his narrative. in my case hes right, i dont give a flying fuck if he exists or not. he is a most disingenuous twatwaffle.

    “They tend to demand articulate, intelligent, creative, tolerant, motivated, self-disciplined, refined people”

    That’s certainly not the definition of a liberal.

    As opposed to a ingenuous twatwaffle? My vocabulary has expanded quite a bit from this site.

    I live in Seattle and have met Patty Murray……Ann was spot on with this one Patty Murray is an “abject moron.”

  • Azarkhan

    When Sen. Patty Murray announced earlier this month that she had inserted $57 million in earmarks in the 2011 defense appropriations bill, she touted the two dozen projects as critical jobs-creation spending.

    It was another election-season reminder of the 18-year Democratic incumbent’s ability to steer federal dollars back home as a member of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee.

    What Murray didn’t mention is that at least nine of her defense-bill earmarks — worth $19.5 million — were awarded to clients of her former aides who now work as lobbyists.

    Hey PH,
    Looks like you have identity crisis going on (3 avatars – 3 days)

    I’ve seen Alamo call out “Libs” on 3 different occasions and actually chastised 1 well for rude vile language.

    And that means Bloyer is wrong as usual!! Bloyer, do you ever have your own views or do you just have to stay in line with the other sheep. Coulter thinks Palin and O’Donnell is as smart as Einstein. If Coulter said the grass is pink, Bloyer would say Ann is right as usual.

    Bloyer, I have faith in you I know you don’t always have to follow the herd. Do you ever disagree with Coulter?

  • paul1149

    Murray is, quite simply, an absolutely stunning embarrassment. Come on, Washington, here’s your chance to regain some dignity.

    Yeah, RIW, he is more objective than most. I was just trying to let him know why he was most likely getting the thumbs down on this thread.
    Also, I give thumbs up to anyone as long as they’re not insulting someone. In that case I can’t help myself, I am usually a smart a** back to them.

  • timcajun

    Coulter is a kind, warm, caring person. She never spreads hate, fear or lies! Since she is a wonderful tea party member, she would never call someone a moron, or say they were dumb, stupid or any such name!

  • Snidely

    However unintelligent Senator Murray may be, there is another Democrat who may have come up with the worst question – statement in the annals of Congress (though I am sure the competition is fierce): Hank Johnson (D-Ga) Guam might tip over if the Marines move their base there.
