Ann Coulter Would Really Rather Talk About Her Controversial Remarks

by Colby Hall | 12:33 pm, January 19th, 2010

Ann Coulter added her unique style of punditry to Geraldo At Large this weekend. When asked by guest host Kimberly Guifoyle to react on Rush Limbaugh’s controversial comments on the Obama administration’s politicization of the situation in Haiti, Coulter recoiled. “Stop asking me about Rush’s statements…I’ve made some controversial statements too!” Indeed, Coulter didn’t just seem indignant, she admitted as much.

People who have privately met Ann Coulter rave about how sweet and polite she is off-camera, a stark difference from the public persona she presents as a professional provocateur. “She just says this stuff to get attention” is a common refrain concerning Ann Coulter’s polemics, and when she claims to be “indignant” because she’s tired of talking about Limbaugh’s, its hard to argue that point.

1) Say something insanely controversial
2) Talk about said controversial statement
3) Profit!

Being the world’s foremost vicious shrew in public whilst being sweet in person hardly has an redemptive quality.

Au Contraire, the redemptive quality is obvious for me, it drives simple minded folk absolutely nuts.

I don’t blame her for being indignant either, it must get tiresome always being asked to comment on other peoples comments. I, like Ann, in an interview would want to be asked what I thought about the issue, not what I thought about what somebody else thought about said subject. It’s ridiculous, but very prevalent, most interviewers are constantly asking guests what they think about someone elses opinions.

Redundant to say the least.

Keep up the good work Ann, it makes people (even stupid ones as is evidenced by comments here) think.

That is a pretty good headline, have to say.
My biggest gripe with Coulter is that often she has viewpoints on a particular story that are insightful, but she uses words that are incitable and they distract from a deeper point.

I agree with Martini Shark.

AFP’s Tim Phillips Defends Protest Where Sick Man Was Heckled

by Drew Grant | 11:07 pm, Thursday

After disturbing video emerged earlier this week from an anti-health reform rally where angry protesters screamed in the face of a sitting man who wore a sign identifying that he had Parkinson's disease (and supported the reform bill) MSNBC's Hardball brought on Tim Phillips, head of the grassroots organization Americans For Prosperity, which held the event. While Phillips condemned the actions of those individuals who berated the apparently disabled man, but said that it did not reflect most of his party's "civil" attitude during the Columbus protest.

Scott Brown On House Health Care Bill: “The Biggest Problem…Is Its Lack Of Transparency”

by Drew Grant | 8:13 pm, Thursday

Last night when Chris Matthews discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's idea of a "Deem and Pass" to get the health reform bill pushed through Congress, his main concern was that it would open up Democrats to criticism of using evasive tactics. And he wasn't wrong: Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown was on The Situation Room tonight, already chomping at the bit to discuss the "backroom deals....political chicanery and parliamentary maneuvers" that the House majority was using to "ram this bill through."
