In her increasingly embarrassing and desperate downward spiral, Ann Coulter, the once-respected “conservative” pundit, continues to morph into obnoxious circus clown. Kinda ala Don Rickles. Save for the funniness.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) superstar, hate-monger — and apparent vote fraud felon — let fly with these gems in her packed headliner speech at the conference today, where she continues to retain her rock star status:
…
“Obama is half-white and half-black….Clinton was half-white, half-trash.”
…
“I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.” (laughter, applause, cheers, whistles from the crowd)
Nice.
Hard to say whether it’s an improvement over last year’s Coulter CPAC speech:
And on killing Bill Clinton, in response to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemma:
“There was one time I had a shot at Clinton. I thought ‘Ann, that’s not going to help your career.'”
We guess she feels that calling John Edwards a “faggot” will help her career. Judging from some of her fans, she may be right.
Apparently “hate” is a Conservative Family Value. Who knew?
(Hat-tip to RAW STORY who has more details and a video clip…)
I think this is outstanding!!! The more conservatives behave in such outlandish ways, the more people vote for Democrats.
“And on killing Bill Clinton, in response to a question from a Catholic University student about her biggest moral or ethical dilemma:”
See that, Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh was ranting that commenters on Huffington Post were making jokes about the bomb that went off supposedly intended for Cheney. And Limbaugh said that only “liberals” make jokes about killing Repulican politicians. More lies from Rush Limbaugh. The corporate fascist radio program by “self-proclaimed” conservative Rush Limbaugh, although he’s not a conservative.
NONE of these people are conservatives! This conference is a LAUGHINGSTOCK!!! BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE CONSERVATIVES!!! How can this be??? This CPAC conference??? Are all those people in the audience retarded??? Or maybe they’re paid shills, like Bush’s “audiences” to his campaign speeches, that were “invite only” audiences.
Maybe these people are not real, regular people??? Maybe some investigative reporter should actually attend and start interviewing people in the CPAC audience. It would be a “win-win” situation. Either they’d expose them as shills, or if they are NOT shills, they’d be so stupid, that you’d get some “Daily Show” quality interviews, where they interview idiots who don’t know they’re being made a fool of!
The reporter can ask audience members, “Do you know what a conservative is? What is the definition of ‘conservative’? Do you think these speakers are ‘conservatives’???” The answers would be HILARIOUS!!! The material would WRITE ITSELF!!!
Maybe the CPAC conference is one big INFOMERCIAL…did that cross anyone’s mind? Maybe it’s all staged! I just can’t believe this exists, it’s got to be the most ridiculous thing going. I think I’m going to order the DVD of it, so I can laugh my ass off, at all the “CONSERVATIVES” at CPAC! LOL!!! What a joke!!! Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter are “conservatives”…LOL!!!!!! Dick Cheney is a “conservative”…LOL!!!!! How can they keep this charade going? Doesn’t the audience know what’s going on there???
What they’re doing, is MOCKING REAL CONSERVATIVES…and insulting their intelligence. These people, whoever they are, have taken over CPAC, which is probably really for conservatives. And they’re making FOOLS out of REAL CONSERVATIVES!!! These people are NOT CONSERVATIVES!!! Don’t you conservatives “get it”???
Big Dan –
The BRAD BLOG had a correspondent at last year’s CPAC. Conservative Dan Borchers who, as reported to me an hour or so ago by occassional BRAD BLOG Guest Blogger Lydia Cornell, was physically ejected from the event by Coulter’s thugs earlier today. Haven’t been able to confirm yet. But there ya go.
In the meantime, Borcher’s reports from last year are here:

CPAC Day 2: Ann Coulter Rules Far Right Roost With Racist Speech, Death Threat ‘Jokes’
CPAC Day 3: The Good, The Confused and The Warped
Whip it out ann . . .
She’s such an obvious bigot. Her voice also kind of bugs me. She sounds loco.
I bet my dog(who usually loves everyone) would flip out on her. He seems to be good at recognizing people that are not all there. I should take him to Washington!
She sound like a privileged old bag Connecticut republican . . .
A criminal complaint should be filed against her for hate speach (similar to yelling “fire” in a crowded theater). Those making hate speach need to be prosecuted not tolerated.
I’m sure she can’t figure it out using the airhead she has but it sure is Great to hear that she will now finally have to go into rehab. I wonder what rehab can do for a mess like that.
When is she going to dry up and go away? She’s disgusting in every way a human being can be. Hateful bitch with no clue who enjoys being a hateful bitch with no clue. Whatever.
If she became a judge she might rule in the same manner as the 4th Circuit did yesterday. A fellow was kidnapped and tortured so he sued the CIA.
The court said that since the rendition program was secret the case might expose some secrets and therefore there was no recourse (El Masri v US).
So all Cheney and Bush have to do is keep many prisons secret, sent dissidents there and torture them, and no one can do anything about it.
Next thing you know they will make Walter Reed Hospital a secret then they can treat the wounded any way they want and there can be no justice because its a secret.
You are doin a heckuva job conservatives …
There ya go…Brad said they threw out a “Real Conservative”. These people at CPAC should be outed, like Talon News, Jeff Gannon, the Bush fake news releases (NVR’s), etc…This CPAC is a FARCE and a CIRCUS, because they ARE NOT CONSERVATIVES!!! They should be EXPOSED!!!
If CPAC really had conservatives, I’d have nothing to knock them for. But this is an infomercial by non-conservatives (they’re not liberals either, I’m not sure WHAT they are), by people who have taken over conservative’s party and all their clubs, symposiums, etc…
But, sadly, the REAL conservatives have allowed this to happen.
Ann Coulter a “conservative”???
Sean Hannity a “conservative”???
Rush Limbaugh a “conservative”???
You don’t have to be a genius to plainly see that these people are NOT conservatives. They are corporate fascists and hatemongers and warmongers. And they are tricking real conservatives, who sadly are too stupid to realize it and kick them out of their party and their clubs, etc…they have taken them over.
They should start their own party called the “Corporate Fascist” party…OR…the real conservatives should join the Libertarian Party or start their own party, which has been taken over.
They should list all the conservative philosophies and put them side-by-side with what these creeps espouse to…why don’t they???
To be honest, I don’t really dislike real conservatives…they have some good points…but these people are NOT conservatives!!! They are making fools out of real conservatives, and mocking them, and making people think conservatism is what they are saying at CPAC.
But why do Republicans always give the best blowjobs?
Speaking of “conservative journalists”, how would conservative journos at CPAC explain this:
(link here, emphasis added). Was it a premonition or did someone know it was going to be “pulled”? So far the neoCons have had a spin for everything … how about it neoCons … can you believe you eyes or only your lies?
I think we are probably getting exercised about Coulter on a Friday when the news should have been about something else: Harvey resigns as Secretary of the Army. Bush visits the Gulf Coast. Appeals Court refuses to hear the case of a German-Lebanese torture victim of CIA rendition on grounds of “national security”…oh yes, over 24 hrs passes and Bush still hasn’t declared a state of emergency for the tornadoes that hit the South. Remember the Friday News Dump by the White House? “Look over there!”–while the subpoenas are issued to fired Federal prosecutors who won’t play ball with political operatives.
Yes, Ann Coulter is quite the entertainer. She knows how to grab and hold a spotlight—on cue. I mainly resent the use of “pundit” in connection with her, Malkin and others. Look it up. She does not qualify as a “pandit”, a teacher, or a wise person.
I had a great dream of tying her little peroxide blonde braids to the tracks last night. Her violent outbursts and tirades prompt violent outbursts and tirades from me.. a usually peaceful, loving person. What a great person she is to stimulate such feeling in others. We need MORE people like this in the world. That she would go after John (of all people) reminds me of that nature show – where that alligator snaps the little fawn off of the shore.
There are some job openings that Annie might get. The fascist regime is firing US Attorneys who are prosecuting republican criminals:
(White House Behind Firings, emphasis added). I’m sure Annie is the type of fair and unbiased attorney the regime wants in place of those “biased” bad guys who are putting neoCons in prison.
During breaks she could go over to Walter Reed and call the wounded soldiers wimps for complaining about living with rats, mold, and other squalor.
Yep, those “conservatives” are doin a heckuva job taking care of Katrina victims and limbless soldiers.
Dredd comment 15: Thanks for posting that. That’s ANOTHER smoking gun avoided by the CMSM about 9/11.
Dredd’s question is a simple one: “How do you explain that?”
I have that question for Cannonfire, who believes “heat” collapsed the WTC-7, which is as impossible as CPAC having conservatives speaking there.
The best defense is: Don’t talk about it…
someone left the bold on … … did that fix it?
99 or DES … please correct post #17 because it has a runaway bold …
[Ed. note: Yes, your quick fix undid the perma-bold. Have now closed tags in the original note. Thx – DES]
It’s hard to imagine why ANY conservative would want to be represented by somebody like Ann Colter. The only thing I can come up with is they want to send some of us regular folks that only get mad at things that really ARE outrageous, over the edge so they can arrest us.
They actually invite her to a conference where the main candidates for president are speaking and welcome her. These people are scummy. I hope they have showers for them to wash off after the show.
The gop = Greedy Old Perverts = fuck the Poor = have no canidates . . . . . Just Stiffs . . .
Ann Coulter should not speak at CPAC
After last year’s remarks, calling Muslims “ragheads” and this year’s remark, calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC, Ann Coulter has solidified her reputation as a bigoted, loud-mouthed shock pundit whom true conservatives should ostracize.
As I watched her on C-SPAN today I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. On national television Coulter went out of her way to use a word that has no use, other than to hurt, offend and degrade. It wasn’t funny, and it wasn’t cute. It was stupid. The sad part is that some self-professed conservatives clapped and laughed and cheered for her. Shame on them.
CPAC should not invite Coulter back to speak, and organizations should not promote her as a writer nor as a speaker. I used to recommend her to students as a resource, but I will no longer do so.
Segregation is so fifties”¦ or so I thought
Even more disturbing were conversations I had at a bar in Adams Morgan later on. There were a handful of kids wearing George Wallace buttons who were extolling the virtues of segregation and saying blacks and Hispanics had lower intelligence quotients. Their racism clearly influenced their views on illegal immigration policy. By the way, these guys were the loudest supporters of Tom Tancredo for president.
How, in 2007, anyone could hold such views and proudly display the image of a man (George Wallace) who represents hatred, discrimination and white supremacy is beyond me.
I certainly do not want to be associated with such ideas. Their thinking is tribalist, collectivist and deterministic. It stems from the identity politics and conflict theory that Marx devised and his intellectual descendants promote. How anyone who holds such anti-freedom and anti-individualist ideas can call themselves conservatives is perplexing. The whole reason conservatives should oppose affirmative action and multiculturalism is because we base our judgments of people on their individual merits, and not on their artificial “ethnic group.”
This was the first CPAC I attended and it very well could be the last if Ms. Coulter, Mr. Tancredo and their minions continue to hold center stage.
So what? Liberals are racists all the time, but its OK when they do it. The media is biased. They will use this harmless out of context quote to smean Coulter and censor her. How sad.
Either Edwards is a faggot or he is not a faggot. I hope for his sake, he is not a faggot. Being a sex pervert faggot is a dispicable and disgusting thing.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.
Gary Ruppert reached into his bag of family values and said:
No. It’s not. And when do they do it? Let me know when one is racially offensive in the way that Coulter has been racially, morally and ethically offensive and I’ll be happy to report on it.
I agree. They are incredibly biased in favor of Republicans and it’s incredibly damaging to our country and the world.
She has smeared herself. But yes, the media has “censored her” as of last night, both AP and Reuters as well as WaPo and NY Times refused to report Coulter’s obnoxious, offensive, epithet used against Edwards.
With rightwing media like NYTimes, WaPo, AP and Reuters, no wonder we’re in the mess we’re in, with uninformed folks like Gary Ruppert peddling the propaganda of the wingnuts here and everywhere else.
Anne Coulter is an ignorant hate-filled baiter with a megaphone.
That’s all she is.
And that’s why she is acceptable to present-day “conservatives”.
She gets the attention away from the real and constant attacks and abuse on the American people by the current administration.
The only hell there is or ever was is on earth . . .
Check out this link folks ” Rev. Donald Spitz” . . .
When someone who desperately feeds on attention starts to feel insignificant and irrelevant, they usually turn up the volume. Coulter has become the little bratty kid on the playground who repeatedly says the dirtiest word she can think of to try and shock the adults. She has nothing of substance to contribute to any discussion of the real issues facing our society, so she resorts to namecalling – because to her, any amount of negative attention is better than being ignored.
Nobody – Republican, Democrat, or other – with any sense whatsoever takes her seriously. Until the REAL conservatives loudly and publicly disown her and those like her, Coulter and her ilk will continue to be seen as a representative of Republican values.
BTW, what’s the word on her felonies? Has she been charged yet?
Ann Coulter and her ilk are a sad statement about the low level that American politics and media have sunk to. The conservative movement is about enriching the rich at the cost of the middle and lower class. They employ people like Ann Coulter to use hate to make the dumber part of our society band together under the repulican umbrella, and vote against their own interests.
At this point American Republicans are basically a bunch of narrow minded bigots without any real concept of the challenges that our country faces in this century. The nazi party relied on this same kind of dumb citizen to rise to power. Never thought it would happen here, but the dumbing down of America has made it possible.
Should also mention the role of religion..Christ’s ideas have been turned around by the Repulicans to achieve the opposite of what he intended. Good Christians have enabled hateful people calling themselves Christian to take over, the result is an oppression of the meek and an enrichment of the already wealthy. Christ cries for these mislead people, our Lord God will judge…

Hundreds Protest NYU Republicans’ “Find the Illegal Immigrant” Game
Hundreds of people gathered at New York University on Thursday to protest a game called “Find the Illegal Immigrant” organized by the school’s Republican club. Democracy Now! was there to speak with students on both sides.

Voices from February 23, 2007 protest at NYU.
AMY GOODMAN: Hundreds of people gathered at New York University Thursday to protest a game called “Find the Illegal Immigrant,” organized by the school’s Republican Club. Democracy Now! producer Elizabeth Press was at the protest and spoke to Caitlin Kannall, secretary of the NYU College Republicans. She also talked to Sasha Hammed of the Students Creating Radical Change.
(Young Ann Coulter/Young College Republican)
CAITLIN KANNALL: We decided about a month ago that we were going to hold an event. It’s the “Find the Illegal Immigrant.” And essentially what goes behind the game is people can sign up between the hours of 11:00 and 2:00 to be INS agents, and then at 2:00 one of our members is going to be walking around with an illegal immigrant sign, and the person who finds them gets a gift card. We — again, we decided this about a month ago that wanted to do this event. It was one of many events passed or that we decided, you know, we thought about. We put it up to a vote, and the majority voted that we wanted to do this event, so this is not — I really hope that people don’t focus it on a few people of this group and really ostracize them for this, because that’s not the case at all. This was a group effort. And our motivation behind this is essentially that we wanted to raise awareness and incite a little dialogue on campus here, because, unfortunately, in such a polar university the conservative voice is often lost.

I’m a committed heterosexaul with a loving girlfriend, but given the choice between being a “faggot”, a pathetic pathological clown like Ann Coulter, or an ignorant, self-righteous Christian bigot like Donald Spitz (who I refuse to recognize as a “reverend”), I’d take being a faggot EVERY TIME!
…EVER NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………..
…..that you never see Todd Rundgren and Ann Coulter together???
….hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………………..
RDS #26
I hear conservative republican preacher cum lourdy Ted Haggard is looking for some churches of hate where he can preach anti gay or anti lesbian fire and brimstone sermons … uh … before his afternoon sodomy lesson.
Perhaps he and Annie “Get Your Gun” Coulter could have a gala affair together at your church?
Some of these comments on AC are kinda cute…and some are almost as funny as Ann herself!! Most of America is out here laughing WITH her…despite the elitest
media’s best efforts to gasp and send her off to rehab.
The reason you lefties are so upset is because it is beginning to set in that your PC prescriptions for how society should speak (is that word close to like free speech?) and how they should think is just plain not working out
…and you are pissed. Just think, you paid all that money for those professors to “teach” you how you
should view things, and low and behold you found out in the real world things just might not work out like they said…”I want my money back!!”
Now my prescription for you guys over on the left is to chill, get your humor back, don’t take yourself so seriously (most of us regular Americans really don’t care) and focus on some REAL problems…and oh yeah, don’t forget… give us regular folk some practical solutions…and remember,you’ll live a lot longer if you’re not so stressed. 🙂
AC is simply a CRYSTAL METH addict still holding on to her niche. Here days of glory will soon come to an end.
Seems like she was preaching to her choir? By definition, there is no such thing as a leader without followers. Period. Everyone in that room deserves a recognition as “grand” as Coulter. Every single applauder. The spiritually weakest among them fabricate to, and then capitalize upon, an audience of weakminded followers, by way of false divisions, on the road toward strengthening false identities. No Teflon Conservative left behind. The only thing they keep forgetting is the Kool-aid.
Ann Coulter is an old ugly ignorant racist that needs to get a life. It’s too bad that she did not put her college and law education to good use. She needs to grow up!
Chill out, Ann was using the word in its old school form — as in ‘faggot’ being the pejorative form of ‘goofy’. A brilliant coup de main for free speech, against political correctness.
I think it’s fantastic as well!!!
Libs don’t have an answer for her and it drives you guys crazy. She’s making jokes at a conference internal to her side. It’s not like she said Obama was a clean well spoken person in a very public and two sided forum….oh wait, that was one of your fantastic new candidates.
Don’t you think it’s time libs found some issues to promote other than “look how mean the conservatives are”?
Great site by the way…I’ll be around. I love to hear what you guys are thinking.
ann how’s about them Log
CabinGrabin republicans . . . . . & mary cheney-baster ? ? ?Get her in the bank account and she’ll begin to shut up. It’s the only way.
TO CONGRESS
ONE CAN ONLY GET PISTOL WHIPPED SO LONG BEFORE YOU TAKE THE FUCKING GUN AWAY!
Hey Rev #26
Get your OWN life, and LEAVE US GOOD PEOPLE ALONE!
Brad,
How come you come up in black and tan instead of GREEN AND GOLD
now?
I like my old setting, how can I retain that?

I WAS GOING TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT ANN COULTER BUT I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GO TO REHAB IF YOU USE THE WORD CUNT. BUT IF YOU DON’T, I WOULD LIKE TO USE IT TO DESCRIBE HER, AS IN UGLY CUNT, AS IN CUNT WHO LOOKS LIKE A SEX CHANGE BUT REMAINS LOOKING MORE LIKE A MAN THAN A WOMAN, AS IN CUNT WHO HAS BLACK SHIT SMUDGED AROUND HER EYES,AS IN CUNT WITH OVER BLEACHED HAIR, AS IN CUNT WITH AN ADAM’S APPLE, AS IN CUNT WHO I HEAR LIVES ON WHITE WINE AND CIGARETTES, AS IN CUNT WHO LOOKS ANOREXIC AND SICKLY, AS IN CUNT WHO LOOKS MORE AND MORE TO ME LIKE A SERIOUS MENTAL CASE WHO WILL EVENTUALLY END UP IN “REHAB” HERSELF, AS IN MENTAL INSTITUTION, AS IN FACILITY FOR THE CRIMINALLY INSANE. IF IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO USE THE WORD CUNT, THEN I DO NOT WISH TO DO SO.
Let’s not be too hard on Annie. After all, her sex
change operation didn’t turn out as well as she’d hoped and she just had to strike out at somebody!
