Ann Coulter Attacks Gov. Nikki Haley As "An Immigrant And Does Not Understand America's History"
Fact: Governor Haley Was Born In South Carolina
Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter lashed out at South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R), who recently called for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the state Capitol. Rather than respond to the Republican governor's message, Coulter dismissed Haley as "an immigrant" who "does not understand American history."

(32,864 posts)The fact that people give that subhuman a platform pisses me off to no end.
I'm sick of hate spewing vile people being allowed on the airwaves. It IS part of the problem.

(2,427 posts)It was not - but Ann is just terrible. I wish we would stop paying attention to her - she makes an enormous amount of money just being as controversial and annoying as possible.
Whenever I see Ann Coulter spewing her hatred, I wonder what her parents are like. Did they raise her with hate? Are her parents still living?

(23,664 posts)Come on people, ignore her. I'm not sure she really even believes all the crap she spouts, she's found her niche and she makes a fortune peddling incendiary bullshit to stupid ignorant people.
She's written another piece of shit book, entitled "Adios America" and as you might guess it's apparently an anti immigrant screed. So attacking the SC governor as "an immigrant" fits her meme nicely. And the dumb shits who buy her book don't even care that its untrue.
Part of the reason people buy her crap is because they think it pisses off Demcrats/liberals. If we stop reacting to her, she loses a lot of appeal to the illiterati.

(43,049 posts)She found her niche as a rightwing comic, pretty much the same as Limbaugh did.
The problem with both of them is that people take them seriously. Then they start to take themselves seriously. And the circle grows on itself.
Ignore them and they go away.

And you'll note that the right cracks up at Coulter's lines, but even they don't take her seriously. She's a side show, and the more we get upset, the better she plays. She thrives on liberal hate mail.
FAUX is a problem, because it actually pretends to be real nooz. However, check out your local Fox station and it's probably not much different from your local CBS or NBC station news-- it isn't here. Cable Fox is the biggest in cable nooz , but that's mostly O'Reilly, which is a problem but not that big of a one in the grand scheme of things.
I noticed that the VA used to play Fox on the TVs in the waiting rooms, but it's changed most TVs to local news. That may or may not mean anything. I have heard one reason for Fox being so popular is that the scroll on the bottom is the easiest to read so older viewers prefer it.

Look out "Bobby" Jindal, Coulter's coming for you next.

(14,177 posts)She tarnishes the brand every time she opens her mouth. It has taken a couple decades because haters are gonna hate with or without a spokes person, but the days of hate are coming to an end. People are getting tired of it and then there is the problem the Republicans have with demographics.
