Ann Coulter To O’Reilly: Newt’s Media Attacks Are ‘Like Jesse Jackson Accusing People Of Racism’

video
» 81 comments

Ann Coulter is getting pretty tired of Newt Gingrich. Coulter appeared on The O’Reilly Factor tonight to discuss Gingrich’s rise (and her candidate, Mitt Romney‘s, decline) and went straight for the strategy that has been most successful for the former Speaker: attacking the media. Calling it “abusing a real issue,” Coulter provided a fiery defense to the reportersGingrich had attacked and likened his frivolous attacks on the liberal media to Jesse Jackson talking about racism.

Bill O’Reilly began the segment by noting that, in the previous segment, they had debated the fact that Gingrich was running as “the avenger,” with a cause to fight for. He asked Coulter what she would tell the Romney camp if she were an official strategist over there. She replied that the idea that debates mattered enough for Gingrich’s performance in the primaries to be an issue was a problem, since there were not that many debates in the general election against President Obama and “based on past experience, Gingrich sucks up to whatever audience he has… he says whatever the audience wants him to say.”

She also accused Gingrich of “depleting the well of sentiment against the liberal media.” “It’s like Jesse Jackson accusing people of racism while his mistresses come out,” she noted, to attack someone like John King for a question at a debate. King, she continued was a “completely fair and honest reporter”
john king who is a completely fair and honest reporter (adding that his employment at CNN didn’t change that), and to claim that the question about his ex-wife was out of order was “so picky and petty and if this were a Democrat we would be screaming bloody murder.”

O’Reilly countered that the ABC News interview was “old news,” which she countered by noting it had been the top headline at the Drudge Report that day, and using a different example: “vicious mainstream reporter Bret Baier,” who also got yelled at during a debate. Media bias, she concluded, was a “serious issue, the way racism is a serious issue, and it’s being washed away.” O’Reilly once again countered that Gingrich was “ambushed,” to which she replied, “was he ambushed by Fox & Friends on Saturday?” referring to his lashing out at the F&F crew over the weekend.

    Coulter is DESPERATE to have Christie as Romney’s VP choice and Christie as the nominee in 2016- she’ll do almost anything to get Christie to the White House.

    Man she was going off tonight! Bill didn’t know what to say. He’s was trying to defend Gingrich and she wasn’t having any of it.  No one even on the left has gone after Newt this hard.

    As a liberal your post makes me weep with joy! Thanks!

     She actually looked like she was going to cry for a few seconds.

    I love how ann plays the race card by trying to bring Jesse Jackson into the picture. She is as silly as she is insipid. I would love to see a battle of wits between her and sara palin-that would be like watching two retarded monkeys flinging fecal matter at each other.

    And she’s all yours GOP.

    “depleting the well of sentiment against the liberal media”

    That’s because she’s probably the most (and only?) passionate Romney backer out there, which doesn’t say much about Romney’s base.  It’s like trying to get pumped up for prune juice.

    only moment of joy you’ll get to enjoy. Unfortunately, most conservatives are seeing Ann is a has-been. She does not have the influence young Tyler thinks she does. Honestly, I didn’t even bother clicking on the video. We now know she’s in the tank for Romney, so is not a reliable voice.
    You will be stunned once again with the power the Tea Party wields. I realize you think it’s dissipated, but trust me, we are waiting for the moment to deliver another 2010-type election. It will happen. No amount of Acorn-like tactics will help democrats.

    Mitt Romney reminds me of the many similarities between Ronald Reagan himself; in the way Romney handles his body, the respect and attentiveness that he shows to his opponents and his relaxed comforting voice when he is answering a question and then the manner in which he ends his commentary with a clever retort.
    I believe Romney and Reagan are cut from the same cloth; Romney also has a true devotion for the betterment of all Americans and an unabashed defense of the strength of the American Military.
    Like Reagan, Romney will be a good president and lead by consensuses and a not in your face attitude like Newt nor a divisive and disrespectful constitutionalist like Obama

    So try to be a little more respectful to the next Conservative president Mitt Romney.

    I could’nt get the video to play here and sought it out on YouTube after seeing your comment.  It was worth the trouble,  I’ve never seen Coulter so wound up.  She actually spoke over Bill, something I’ve rarely seen any female guest on his show do.  Ironically, she’s angry at Gingrich for “abusing a real issue”, something most of her career has been based on, and idea with some merit.  She is probably the worst person in the world to deliver that particular message.

    Here’s an alternate link if you can get the one here to work:

    Ann, you seem to forget that Newt Gingrich is the most fined member of congress, who was forced to resign from the House Speakership and Congress.  Due to ethics violations and conflicts of interest.  Partisan stands on your part are not necessarily true conservatism, you’re just a jerk who pretends to be something you’re not, and not the biggest advocate of the truth specially when it does not bear out your rhetoric.

    lol I think the proper Mitt reply would be something like this. Well I may win Florida or I may not but since Florida is just one state I have 46 more states to may or may not win. Im in this for the long haul in less of course I keep losing then im in it for the short haul. But If i start to win which I just might do on super tuesday, oh and by the way I love tuesdays its my favorite day of the week, well besides the other six days I love them to. See the other states are much more diverse unlike Florida and South Carloina, but thats not to say I don’t like Florida and South Carolina I love them just as much as I love the other 48 states. Im just saying that out west the air is cleaner and people think more clearly, but pollution is fine also I support people who pollute. Ok well now im going to bed im really tired but not that im worn out or anything its just that I have to recharge my batteries as they are low although I am a hard worker and can work a lot even if my batteries are low. Good night and for those of u who work at night i support you as well, Im a big fan of night workers just as much as those who work during the day. POWER OFF.

    More comparison between Romney and Reagan

    Originally a
    member of the Democratic Party, his positions
    began shifting rightward in the late 1950s, and he switched to the Republican Party in 1962.  That is what they say about Romney dem/rep?

    His supply-side economic policies, advocated
    reducing tax rates to spur economic growth, controlling the money supply to
    reduce inflation, deregulation of the economy, and reducing government spending
    are the same policies Romney want to bring America back to.

    Romney provides a stark contrast to Obama
    much like Reagan did to Jimmy Carter in 1980.

    I think the right should really think about what she is saying. What independent polls have you seen? The right is not even thinking about us. Their ego is once again at play and what do they have to be proud of. They had control not to long ago and were voted out in 2 years too for the exact same thing that the dems were just voted out for. I can’t believe that the right would think we are so desparate to get Obama out that the independents would just vote for whoever they cram down our thoats. I voted for Clinton the second term and so did a lot of other independents. Not only did he trash my president, but he didn’t do his job and got fired for it. As for the Tea Party, I can’t believe that they are trying to pull this on me too. I joined the Tea Party in the beginning, because I was tired of the lies and the GOP proved they were lies to get my vote when they had control and didn’t keep their promises. The Tea Party to me was about change? Newt Gingrich is everything I wanted to change about the GOP and if they continue down this road, I will end my support for the Tea Party too, because this is not what I signed up for. Maybe other did, more power to them, it just isn’t me and how many other independents do you think feel the way I do?

    She is so right about Gingrich. I’m an independent and I would never vote for him. I am so scared now, I cannot believe it. Any of it, it’s like a nightmare. I thought we got rid of him a long time ago. Now the right is trying to cram him down my thoat and I don’t know who I will vote for if he is the winner, but it won’t be him. The right, whether they want to or not, better think about who they put up there. I thought it was so important to get Obama out that the GOP would be willing to sacrifice a little, but Noooooo. I live in Co, we have more independents than any state in the union and I haven’t spoken to 1 independent that would vote for Newt. I’ve only spoken to 4, but no one said they would and I’m sure there are many more out there who feel the way I do. : (

    Go Ann, she was so right on. I can’t believe that someone on the right is finally thinking about what is a stake here. Gingrich will never get the independent vote. No one is even thinking about how he treated Clinton and he had the independent vote his second term. Newt didn’t do his job either for a year and a half. Just chased Bill with it turns out both theirs pants down. Not to mention the $150,000,000 they spent doing it. If I remember correctly, HE WAS FIRED FOR THAT.

    What else is new with Ann Coulter.. She called all SC conservative Republican voters snotty, for voting for Newt..Her NDS is now getting to her subconscious, not to mention her public persona, which is turning her into a rightwing hack jour-no-list nutnob..
     
    Amazing, for someone who professes to be mature and always right, she acts like she’s a female Bill Mahers. The only thing snotty is Ann Coulter’s attitude and unseemly immaturity, let along with her elitist GOP establishment RINO arrogance..
     
    She is now an official arrogant elitist GOP RINO hack columnist and commentator, whose only virtue, seems to be sticking her arrogant elitist RINO foot in her mouth, every time she opens it..  But she can’t seem to see it or help it, as she, and all her like narrow minded ilk,  are too busy trying to tell others what to say, do and think..  What else is new..  Heaven forbid she should actually admit she’s wrong.

    The problem with the Tea Party is that the power it wields has stretched little beyond the already insane Republican base, can you name one single thing the Tea Party has acheived in congress in the last year? Compared to Obama getting through universal healthcare, financial regulation, the stimulus package and a host of other legislative achivements (and I’m not even mentioning the part about killing Osama Bin Laden…oh wait)

    The vitriol this year is waaay beyond what we saw four years ago — primarily because there’s a civil war for the philosophical heart and soul of the party between the tea party and the establishment. And super PACs have made the environment much more toxic.
