Ann Coulter To Bill Maher: I Don’t Know Why Anyone But A Govt. Worker Would Vote Democrat

On Bill Maher‘s show, his near polar opposite on the political spectrum Ann Coulter stopped by for some no holds barred debate. Yet the fun between the verbal sparring partners continued on Maher’s Internet-only “Overtime” with Coulter humorously taking exception to Maher’s lengthy condemnation of “Republican thinking.”

One of Maher’s arguments was that he couldn’t understand why any American not in the wealthiest 1% of the country would ever vote Republican. Coulter found it torturous to have to listen to Maher rant without having a chance to respond, but then she was finally granted her opportunity in this segment and argued back:

“I don’t understand why anyone who isn’t part of the 40% of America working for state, local or Federal government would ever vote for the Democratic party, since that is what the Democratic party stands for.”

When Coulter also asserted that the jurors in O.J. Simpson’s case were all Democrats, and that the jurors in Casey Anthony’s case were likely all Democrats too, Maher sighed and suggested “alright let’s move on.” Later Coulter seemed a bit confused whether or not President Obama used military force for regime change in Egypt, to which Maher delicately explained the difference between calling for a leader to step down (which Obama did) and physically forcing him out, telling Coulter, “sometimes I’ve called you, I’ve never bombed you.”

With Maher and Coulter there is always enjoyable fireworks as the two strongly disagree over every issue, but still manage to realize that in the end it’s more fun to laugh and engage with your ideological opponents than to attempt to seriously villainize them from afar.
