How Ann Coulter is helping the GOP destroy its White House dreams (LAT)

Littering? Littering? Her beef with Hispanics is that they're messy?

.........................

Priebus report: “The Republican Party needs to stop talking to itself. We have become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people, but devastatingly we have lost the ability to be persuasive with, or welcoming to, those who do not agree with us on every issue. Instead of driving around in circles on an ideological cul-de-sac, we need a party whose brand of conservatism invites and inspires new people to visit us.”

Coulter: "Apparently in the '50s, all Americans littered a lot. And who started a campaign shaming Americans out of littering, with the ‘Keep America Beautiful’ ads? It was actually the corporations themselves …. that got together and funded these ads to shame Americans out of littering. Now, at all these national parks in California where the littering is coming from recent immigrants — 'Oh, we can’t suggest that any one group is doing it. Let’s just shut the park.' And that’s what they’re doing. This is always the solution now: 'Oh, we don’t want to stigmatize anyone.' No. Stigma is good. They stigmatized smoking out of existence. Now we’re stigmatizing unwed motherhood, littering, running across the border illegally.”

Priebus report: “We must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only. We also believe that comprehensive immigration reform is consistent with Republican economic policies that promote job growth and opportunity for all.”

Coulter: “You gotta vote for the Republicans one more time and make it clear (to them): If you pass amnesty, that’s it, it’s over, then we organize the death squads for the people that wrecked America.”

Maybe it's dawned on her that she's irrelevant and she feels the need to say something extra crazy to be relevant again.

Then again, I'm not sure she's that self aware.

3. You have precisely nailed her modus operandi. Every so often she realizes ...

that she is teetering on the edge of irrelevance, so she jumps up on a table, waves her arms and shouts, "Look at ME, look at ME"; and then proceeds to say some really stupid shit.

"You Republicons might -- for a change -- try a little truth, a little honesty, a little integrity, a smidgen of honor.

Your systematic, unending anti-American, chickehawk, war-mongering, greed-is-good, nose-in-our-bedrooms, diaper-clad, hooker-bonking, toe-tapping, finger-wagging, whining & complaining, pervo-prevaricating schtick makes us sick. Frankly."
