Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham Clash Over Newt Gingrich (AUDIO)

Laura Ingraham hosted Ann Coulter on her radio show on Wednesday and asked the conservative author and pundit to weigh in on the GOP candidates.

Coulter had particularly strong sentiments about former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. Ingraham said she thought Gingrich was "the only person who consistently gets crowds excited" besides Herman Cain, and that he was "desperately needed." Coulter firmly disagreed, saying that she did not consider him the "ideal candidate" for the Republican Party, and that he was a "big government conservative." She also criticized Gingrich for behaving like a "chubby boy who desperately wants to be liked."

Coulter was referring to Gingrich's decision to appear in a 2008 ad about "the urgency of global warming" with Nancy Pelosi. Gingrich has since said he should not have participated in the filming of the ad and regretted his decision.

Coulter likened Gingrich's behavior to that of John McCain, describing Gingrich as "McCain-like for sucking up to the left..."

She also said that there was "a fair amount of evidence" that the "Democrat machine" is behind Herman Cain's recent sexual harassment scandals.

Once again, the Huffpo ban on conspiracy theory only applies to 9/11. Cowards.

Dissent amongst Republicans? No.. I thought that no matter who ran they loved... just because they were Republicans.

Next up: the brainsuckers from outer space conspiracy. The only way to explain endless gaffes and lapses in knowledge that one would think essential in an aspiring leader of the free world.

The Cain scandal has the Dem's fingerprints all over it. It uses "facts" and "evidence" and "logical thinking." If this was from another GOP candidate, it would have none of that.

Can you show any proof? Just like a conservative to spew ignorance without facts. No one forced him to sexually harass those women and this is actually the first comment about the whole scandal because to me its not what is important...but the fact that you want to lay this at Democrats feet with no evidence doesn't sit well with me. Facts matter...you talk about facts, evidence, and logical thinking yet do not provide any.

The fact is, Obama would love to run against Cain. No way liberals would try to sink Cain.

Can't they make up their minds? Is it Romney/Perry who got this going or the Liberals/the media? Oh, who cares, tey them all, no one's paying attention anyway.

"She also said that there was "a fair amount of evidence" that the "Democrat machine" is behind Herman Cain's recent sexual harassment scandals. "

i.e., absolutely none outside her own twisted pea-brain.

Can someone please tell me what the "evidence" is that points to Democrats?

There is none, but that doesn't stop conservatives. Facts do not matter to them. Just conjecture and talking points.

Think honestly about what you are saying

You leftist destroy someone's life based on, no facts, no evidence and no proof. But those who come to his defense need evidense, facts and proof.?

And when they(defenders) make their case on why they believe it. "Oh, it's just conjecture and talking points"

And yet, the male vipers on right-radio keep referring to Cain's accusers derisively as "bleached blonds."

You should read her article....that's some POV, but no less a standard of proof than Politico when you add it all up.
