Coulter on Helen Thomas: "What is it with these Arabs and suicide?"
On her personal website, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter linked to a Drudge Report item on Hearst Newspapers columnist Helen Thomas's alleged vow to "kill herself" should Vice President Dick Cheney run for president. Thomas, a former White House correspondent for United Press International, is of Lebanese descent. The link, listed on the website's front page under the heading "Quotations from Chairman Ann," was accompanied by the statement: "What is it with these Arabs and suicide?"



This is not the first time Coulter has mentioned race in smearing Thomas. In her February 23 nationally syndicated column, Coulter referred to Thomas as "that old Arab." Universal Press Syndicate, which has syndicated Coulter's columns since 1999, edited the description to read "that dyspeptic, old Helen Thomas." Coulter, however, posted the unedited version on her website under the Universal copyright -- to which Universal never agreed. As a result, Universal and Coulter negotiated an agreement regarding the use of copyright labels on AnnCoulter.com.

===============

Drudge's original story. Note the headline "HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER 'KILL SELF' OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED". ""What is it with these Arabs and suicide?" are Coulter's words.

HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER 'KILL SELF' OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED

White House press doyenne Helen Thomas is plenty peeved at her longtime friend Albert Eisele, editor of THE HILL newspaper in Washington, D.C.

In a column this week headlined "Reporter: Cheney's Not Presidential Material," Eisele quoted Thomas as saying "The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar."

Thomas also said: "I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does," according to Eisele's column.

But Thomas said yesterday at the White House that her comments to Eisele were for his ears only. "I'll never talk to a reporter again!" Thomas was overheard saying.

[babylonsister]

2. Coulter is disgusting and, while this emphasizes her

disgustingness, I wish we didn't have to publicize it. The less attention she and Drudge get, the better.

[rodeodance]

6. time for payback from Helen.

[etherealtruth]

7. Agreed ...

I rarely hate anyone ... that mann elicits something very close to hatred from me.

[longship]

13. "her"? With that adam's apple?

n/t

[babylonsister]

36. Well, that

didn't work. :eyes:

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. She is so incredibly evil

I think of Mann as the wicked witch of the right.

[longship]

14. "she"? I don't think so.

n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Sorry should have said

It is incredibly evil.

[KamaAina]

4. Guess we'll have to kill Helen and convert her to Christianity (sarcasm)

oh, right, most Lebanese-Americans are already Christian. Shows what Ann knows.

Coulter is simply heinous. Would you believe there's a guy who rides the bus out here who has a T-shirt with Coulter's bony mug and the "kill all their leaders" quote on it?!

8. Helen did actually say that, but I guess these people never heard

and comments like that before!

I have NO suicide intentions, but I've said things in the past like "If.....I shoot myself! or If.......I'll kill him!

Too bad these people all think they have to disect EVERY word in EVERY sentence and take them all litterally!

[AlienGirl]

9. What is it with these Repubs and racism? nt

[libnnc]

10. Go snort some more blow, Ann.

Isn't she due to OD by now?

[brentspeak]

11. Original smear, or did Coulter plagiarize yet again?

Coulter realized one day during Jr.High School, after having some fun mocking the handicapped kids, that bathroom bile could one day result in big bucks and celebrity.

[AlCzervik]

12. Coulter isn't fit to wash Helen's shoes.

I really, really hate her.

"Ann wears nicer shoes than Helen".
Political analysis at it's finest.

34. Not.

Annthrax Coulter looks like a stick insect. Not that her physical looks matter -- her soul is as ugly as sin.

[paineinthearse]

25. Their shoes

You decide.

[Bouncy Ball]

15. Lunatics, as long as they aren't actually physically hurting anyone

are best ignored. That's her greatest fear anyway. Want to really hurt her and others like her? Never--Pay--A SINGLE BIT--of attention to them, period.

On that note.....

[pretzel4gore]

17. maybe coulter needs a good bm....

according to a report on fox'news' she only 'moves' them every 2 weeks! the suggestion was she don't pollute planet like regular people! omg....
:hurts:

[Carni]

19. I swear I read ann the man's boyfriend was an Arab

Maybe that was spin...whatever the case she is a fugly disgusting individual but if I were her, I guess I would also loathe myself!

29. Racist, sexist, what's the difference?

:kick:

[LuCifer]

31. What is it with these rethugliKKKons and HATE anyways?!

Hmm!

This is so great how this comes, when I'm ripping this troll a new one, on http://www.LarryFlynt.com (go to POLL, VOTE--please!--, and then you can leave comments) and this is what this jackass had to say to me:
"A KKK member a poster child for the Republicans? I'm sorry, I don't remember Abe Lincoln being a Democrat. And I don't remember the Jim Crowe laws being written by Republicans either. I understand perfectly why you vote Democrat though. Keep the blacks chained to the government dime, and they never will be equal with us. Its perfect logic."

Well! Can't argue with that, no can we!? :sarcasm:

37. How dare Ann Coulter

even say or write the name of Helen Thomas.
Ann Coulter measures up to Helen in the minus at least 100 parsecs away in integrity to Helen.
The gutter, the sewer is not low enough for Ann Coulter!
