Ann Coulter Takes A Stab At Defending Carl Paladino’s Anti-Gay Comments

video
» 85 comments

New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino may have lost the support of every single gay- and gay-friendly New Yorker this weekend by warning against the threat of gay “brainwashing,” but at least he can still claim the support of the self-proclaimed “right-wing Judy Garland” herself, Ann Coulter. Coulter took up the very heavy mantle of defending Paladino’s comments on The O’Reilly Factor tonight, because “someone on this network should.”

Coulter argued to a very skeptical Bill O’Reilly that Paladino had only attacked “gay left-wing activists,” not all gays, and had actually refused to read the part of his speech that stated homosexuality is a sin or, as Coulter called it, “the Leviticus part.” O’Reilly wasn’t buying it, telling her that it seemed pretty clear he was attacking all people that identify as LGBT, and that no matter how she spun it, it was hard to see the comments as positive. “I think everybody but you in the world agrees,” he tells her, “this isn’t going to help the guy.” She disagreed, citing the comments are good politics: “[the audience didn't] want to hear about the fiscal issues. They want to hear about the moral issues.”

Coulter doesn’t exactly have a clean record with gay slurs herself, and defending Paladino would make her quite the unique (read: attractive to the camera) commodity on cable news these days, so it isn’t completely shocking that she would take Paladino’s declaration that he wasn’t a homophobe at face value, if only to play devil’s advocate.

Her defense on tonight’s Factor via Fox News below:

    I got Ann Coulter figured out!!! She is a white skank rightwing rapper that talks in what is the exact opposite of black rappers that is offensive to white people.it’s mean,crude vile and in the end does not mean a fucking thing.

    If Palindino’s comments must be extraordinarily defended why are we not asking Obama, the Clintons. the Edwards, and the Kerry’s why they are not for gay marriage?

    Frankly, stats show that only ten percent of the population is strictly attracted to their same sex. The largest percentage of same sex sexual behavior falls among those who are attracted to either sex.

    It is society’s interest to foster female/male couples for child rearing (unfortunately, in the way that we no longer do when it comes to easy divorce).

    Why can’t the media ask Democrats who are running for office why they truly are against gay marriage, and why they think the public sentiment falls that way?

    Why is THAT little question so very hard for the very people who put so much stock in a particular answer?

    It’s a fair question. And, the answer, political expediency, is not pretty. It’s the early 21st Century political reality, however. The good news is that this issue virtually disappears in another decade or two. The vitriol is largely the Province of Cootdom. I stll scratch my head over how Mary Cheney and her partner or Ken Mehlman and his partner threaten my marriage or the institution of marriage.

  • Haimerej

    I’m not so sure that this hurts Paladino as much as the media think it will. I very seriously doubt the gay community was going to vote for him to begin with.

    Well, since “all the Marys in heaven” is your lovely way of minimizing the mother of Christ and the edicts of your pope, I suppose that you don’t. No surprise there, it’s always been impossible for anyone to take you as a serious Catholic, or anything other than a Obama hat wearing control freak.

    That YOU are willing to suggest that children don’t need both a mother and a father is not surprising. Neither is your glib acceptance of “political expediency”. However, should that excuse (which you find so acceptable) also be the craven low ground of the mainstream media?

    Um….maybe because Obama, the Clintons, the Edwards and the Kerry’s aren’t out calling homosexuality brainwashing, perverted, and a disease like reich wingers do.

    And considering that on October 11 2009 Democrats held everything I’m to assume that the hundreds of thousands who marched on DC were in fact rallying against Obama, the Clintons and the Kerry’s.

    Oh but you wouldn’t know that because the right wing media have their tounges so far up the Tea Baggers asses, not alot of people knew about the National Equality March (even though it passed right under a window in the FAUX studios during a live broadcast with nary a mention….)

    The point wasn’t whether or not she was wrong about gays being undeserving of civil rights, it was whether or not her stance amounted to her seeing gays as subhuman – which, in my estimation, she does. And since you completely agree with her views, you also view gays as subhuman. That’s bigotry. Denying gays the right to marry is discrimination. And both of those words describe your ideology – bigotry and discrimination. Fantastic.

    Mann has a point here. There is nothing wrong with grown men dressing up in uniforms and re-enacting great historical events. Although the Battle of Hastings was a bit ragged, I understand his production of the Rape of Nanking is top rate. And, Idiott often steps out of character. When he donned a pair of panties and re-enacted the famous OSU Tri-Delt tickle fight of 1982, he showed us all the extent of his acting ability.

    There is going to be a practical concern, however, Marceaux, I mean Blower. There is a certain clarity to marriage laws that domestic partnership laws by their very nature lack. The general principle is that a marriage legal where celebrated is legal everywhere. We carved out an exception for Mormon plural marriages, but otherwise that is a binding principle. So, first cousins may marry in Texas but not in Connecticut (I’m not sure the latter is correct, but let’s just assume it is). If Cletus Pratt marries his cousin Wanda Jo Pratt in Diboll and they move to Windsor Locks, the marriage remains legal, and all marital rights and obligations remain enforceable. The only way to dissolve the marriage will be by divorce.

    But what happens if Cletus and his partner Clovis, having left Diboll to work in Connecticut return home to retire. Connecticut recognizes domestic partnerships while Texas doesn’t. Do they forfeit all rights?

    I will say I understand your argument, and I am not comfortable with this distortion of marriage law. I will go further and say that I share Palopinto’s discomfort with bumping and grinding Speedo-clad men in a parade as I am with Mary Cheney and her de facto marriage. But, that’s a personal prejudice of an intolerant coot. I’m not sure that makes for good law.

    Frankly, I see no clear legal option other than marriage.

    Hey Paul, not sure if you noticed, but I finally responded on that Franklin Graham thread. I was on vacation so I stayed away from the computer as well. Very relaxing. I’m not sure how much more can be said over there though. We seem to have aired our views pretty thoroughly. However, I did go off on a religious rant about homosexuality. I’m sure you can find something objectionable about that. ;)

    Hey Paul, not sure if you noticed, but I finally responded on that Franklin Graham thread. I was on vacation so I stayed away from the computer as well. Very relaxing.

    Very funny! ;-)

    I don’t have that thread bookmarked. If you really want me to stop by, I’d be happy to click on a link you provide. ;-)

    The real joke is all the libs here that say “Gay Marriage” is coming and that most people support it. LOL
    In every election held on the issue it LOSES big time. EVEN in California.

    I support civil unions and that is coming, NOT gay marriage.

    Civil unions is just an added huge expense that might be progress for gays but ultimately pointless for those who think they are defending traditional marriage. It’s not a win. It’s smoke and mirrors for misguided morality.

    If Palindino’s comments must be extraordinarily defended why are we not asking Obama, the Clintons. the Edwards, and the Kerry’s why they are not for gay marriage?

    Frankly, stats show that only ten percent of the population is strictly attracted to their same sex. The largest percentage of same sex sexual behavior falls among those who are attracted to either sex.

    It is society’s interest to foster female/male couples for child rearing (unfortunately, in the way that we no longer do when it comes to easy divorce).

    Why can’t the media ask Democrats who are running for office why they truly are against gay marriage, and why they think the public sentiment falls that way?

    Why is THAT little question so very hard for the very people who put so much stock in a particular answer?

    I understand your concept of biased media is overwhelmingly frightening, but Palpatino clearly stated that homosexuality is unsuccessful. When a Democratic politician says the same, I will write my own article calling them out, just for you. If anything, right-leaning voters should distance themselves from Palpatino, considering their opinion that gays are affluent and elitist. How can gays be simultaneously “unsuccessful” and “elitist?” Maybe Palpatino missed the recent “Values Voters Summit” and the list of talking points they put out.

    Is there a reason she can’t?

    Thank you for asking. In the real world, people who are ideologically consistent do not simultaneously denounce AND consume services from groups of people they dislike. For example, those who are against illegal immigration and simultaneously consume services from illegals are hypocrites. Obviously, Coulter has the RIGHT to buy dinner wherever she wants, but to consume goods and services from groups you dislike is hypocritical, that’s all.

    I don’t recall her saying you shouldn’t engage in commerce with homosexuals. I think all she’s said is that they don’t get to call their coupling “marriage.” Why does that mean she hates them?

    And Ann certainly is steeped in experience about “brainwashing.” Yup.

    Well, the Defense of Marriage Act was sponsored by the Clintons.

    And since the president is emblematic of the entire DNC, it’s not without reason that someone would reference his views to his constituency…

    sheesh….

    The Federal Defense of Marriage Act was AUTHORED and SPONSORED by Bob Barr, past Republican, present Libertarian (how’s that for limiting government, letting the government tell its citizens who can marry whom?) But, yes, Clinton signed it. That’s far from being the bill’s SPONSOR.

    I never said Coulter hates gays. Coulter defending Palpatino saying homosexuality is not “valid,” nothing to be proud of, is dysfunctional, and is not as “equal, valid and successful [of an] option” as heterosexuality implies that she feels the same, which is that homosexuals are not as good as straights. In essence, the comments together show homosexuals as second-class citizens. It’s only opinion (and socialization supporting that opinion) that makes it so. I think it takes integrity to live by one’s words and patronizing establishments owned and run by gays is hypocritical in one whose words suggest they are second-class citizens.

    How is 52% to 48% LOSING big time? I think 4% is losing small time. Guess that’s just me, I got a B- in Statistics.

    I got Ann Coulter figured out!!! She is a white skank rightwing rapper that talks in what is the exact opposite of black rappers that is offensive to white people.it’s mean,crude vile and in the end does not mean a fucking thing.

    PERFECT DESCRIPTION!!!!!!

  • timcajun

    Coulter is a hot Nazi, dislikes jews, gays, well everyone that is not a bagger! Hate and lies are a very strong fake christian value. Keep the hate alive Ann!

    I don’t think Paladino needs to apologies for anything. He merely openly stated what most of think. With New Yorks Gay population at 4.5% odds are it won’t hurt him much. On the other hand, his remarks resonate well with the vast majority of New Yorkers.
