Coulter: "I Think It's Funny" To Call Barack "B. Hussein"

MediaMatters:

On Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes asked Ann Coulter, "Why do you keep emphasizing his [Sen. Barack Obama's] middle name as if you're trying to associate him with Saddam Hussein?" Coulter replied, "Because I think it's funny." During the interview, Coulter referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" twice and injected: "Get ready for President Hussein, and let's start planning for the next president."

Ann Coulter is the antithesis of all thoughtful, caring, peace loving human beings on the Planet.

I watch her occasionally as a crude form of entertainment; I stare at my TV in utter disbelief that this hermaphrodite, this mutation, this mistake of natural selection, cannot really be serious about the opinions she renders.

Her simplistic, unsophisticated, primitive thoughts regarding politics and politicians are so barbaric and Machiavellian that she could easily be mistaken for a twenty first century malicious Lucrezia Borgia.

I find it extremely difficult to understand the venomous reasoning behind people like Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham of Fox News, who rant on aimlessly with mindless chatter in support of a ruthless, murderous, unjustified and unnecessary War with Iraq.

Laura Ingraham actually wears an ornate gold crucifix around her neck to advertise that she is a devout Christian, but to my knowledge she has never voiced any opinions that resemble the philosophy of her savior Jesus Christ.

These tough minded hateful, despicable War Hawks and the choir they preach to are the Bane of America.

Their irresponsible vocal support of Bush and his nonsensical compassionate conservative hypocrisy is the foundation of where America has gone astray.

How can they possibly justify bombing a country that posed no threat to us and had nothing whatsoever to do with 911, no Iraqis were on those planes, none.

It is as though after being attacked at Pearl Harbor we decided to take out our hostility and revenge on Mexico and Shock and Awe Mexico City.

Instead of being angry about America Bombing Baghdad and killing thousands of innocent woman and children and displacing millions of families, they praise and trumpet this vile and cruel act of terror.

I fervently hope that Barack Obama a sane voice for peace and diplomacy will become our next president and relegate these belligerent maniacal warmongers to the bleachers of political discourse where they belong.

world to a. coulter -

Coultergeist

[larry278]

Col Lindqist would aprove of that.

[faretheewell]

Does anyone from the right really listen to her, or is her entire fortune derived from the left buying her books just to see how outrageous she can get. I think she may have played the US liberals beautifully.

I have spent as much time listening to her as I have Limbaugh, Hannity, Drudge etc. There are thinking people on the right who make good and interesting points. This list of extremists who do nothing but attack people are not offering anything of value.

[LeftVetPatriot]

Pouring pesticides on her books in the bookstores is such a hoot!

FunnNNNIIIEEE!

[SuiginTou7]

I agree, anything for attention. "look at me, look at me." Ann, your 15 minutes of fame has been over for a while, leave the stage with a shed of grace will you.

[Bendersky]

Anything for attention.

[Macready]

totally agree . .. Bendersky . .. she sounds like a stupid sophomore sorority girl . . . someone should pull the plug on her big time . . .

[SubparDude]

My Pit Bull saw Ms. Coulter on TV and became aroused -- humping my flat screen with foaming anger.

We put the dog down.

Now she is suing me for 'alienation of affections­.'

Bitch.

[traveler501]

and Limbaugh likes "scat" jokes...so­? we already know Republicans are a little humor-chal­lenged... or perhaps twisted would be a better way of saying it. since when is "humor" the all-purpose excuse btw? funny how that angle didn't work for Imus.

[MajorKong]

After Ann Coulter called John Edwards a "faggot", she defended herself by saying that "It's a common schoolyard taunt".

That says a lot about what kind of people we're dealing with here. Some of them never really made it past the grade school playground.

[steamboat]

I agree, Coulter shouldn't do that. With either Edwards or Obama. However, lets not kid ourselves. There is a DOUBLE STANDARD. Today on Bill Maher's Show on HBO, Bill said, "why doesn't Bush go suck a dick." Everybody laughed. I guarantee had a conservative said, "why doesn't Obama or Edwards suck a dick", I guarantee the same folks laughing at what Bill said would be outraged concerning the conservative's comment.

[larryfishkorn]

It's ok. Maher is slipping in relevence anyways... maybe he's listening to Coulter too much.

[CountryBeforeParty]

You won't find Bill making that remark on FOX, MSNBC and the other news channels. On his own show, on pay cable, he can say that. If you don't like it, don't watch. He'll deal with then repercussions.

In turn, if Coulter were to go on Bill's show, and say the same thing, that's fine. But she, like Bill, has to deal with the repercussions.

[readreza]

it's about the venue... Bill Maher's COMEDY hour on HBO (he has NEVER claimed to be a journalist or anything like one). He wouldn't have said it on the news or a serious news show.
And everyone should stop giving this fascist party doll screen time.

[kroses98]

HE'S GOING TO WIN, MR. COULTER! HE'LL BE PRESIDENT OBAMA TO YOU!!!

[soot]

What a coincidence, I think its funny to call Ann Coulter a cunt! LOLZ!

[mrqcguy]

To call Ann a cunt has no shock value. If a cunt was the worst thing that she is we would be fortunate. She makes the word cunt obsolete as there is not a word vile enough to describe her.

[GhostofBillHicks]

Man,soot! You beat me to it.Thats exactly what I was going to post...

[naturesway]

Another success for our former President Bill Clinton and for the USA. Kosova is Independent , finally. Congrats to the people of Kosova and to Bill Clinton. The right decision in 1999 led to a free and independent Kosova.
Here is what one native of Kosova wrote to Hillary:
~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~"­Hillary,

I am actually an Albanian-American and a huge supporter of your candidacy for President. I want to personally thank you and President Clinton for all your work in Kosova. American flags were flying everywhere in Pristina today. THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF ALL ALBANIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD. We will never forget your help.

Yes We Will. Hillary '08!!!

[lldem]

I think Sen. Obama should use his full name all the time. Own it! That way the repubs and other mindless fools won't be able to turn it into a smear. Let's be real, if the names our parents saddled us with had any connection at all to who we are as people, then I would be a cross between a saint and an auto parts store owner since I'm named after the first martyr and my father's brother, STEPHEN EDWARD. As it turns out, I'm like neither one of them.

[UncleJimbo]

That's All she's got...Make fun of his name! That is not someone I'd call a journalist or a pundit!

[Cynth]

Laughing all the way to the bank.... Why is HuffPo helping in her (self)promotion? She adds nothing to the discussion and perpetuates falsehood, distortions, and ignorance. Maybe if enough people simply ignore her (HuffPo included), she'll go away...

(BTW, I appreciate the irony of my post, but this one-time only and only to make my point....)

[larry278]

I think that Ms Coulter is cuter than a gallon of rancid, cold piss on a wet wool blanket too. So what? Ms Coulter & I both are more than a bit tasteless too.
