MediaMatters weighs in on Time's "Coulter Edition"!

[Career Prole]

A lovely bit of work by Jamison Foser. :)

While embellishing Coulter's legal work, pretending it was something more than partisan hackery, Cloud downplays Coulter's history of outrageous comments, unquestioningly quoting Coulter friend Miguel Estrada downplaying her vicious attacks as "a little bit of a polemicist" (Coulter herself sees no need for the qualifier; she told the Sunday Times of London that "I am a polemicist. I am perfectly frank about that") and writing that "Coulter can occasionally be coarse."

"Occasionally" coarse? A "little bit" of a polemicist? This about a "commentator" who claimed that the Democratic Party "supports killing, lying, adultery, thievery, envy"; who said of the idea that the American military were targeting journalists, "Would that it were so!"; who said President Clinton "was a very good rapist"; who insisted that "iberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole"; who said that "I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days" to talk to liberals; who said it was lucky for former senator Max Cleland's political career that he lost an arm and two legs in Vietnam; who has said her "only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building"; and who wrote that the only real question about Bill Clinton was "whether to impeach or assassinate."

What, exactly, would it take for Time to declare that someone is "frequently" coarse?

1. Coulter is truly a sick human being. (That's an understatement.)

[bloom]

2. She also said,

Conservatives believe in God, Liberals think they are God.

3. Whoa! Good one!

Man is she a wench! Hateful little snot.

4. I'm curious why that last statement about Clinton didn't get her...

in serious hot water with the Secret Service. I've known people who got a knock on their door simply by agreeing that they wouldn't shed a tear if President XYZ were to drop dead of natural causes.

5. True...even before we had Homeland Security Police

that sort of talk was never taken lightly. :shrug:

6. She made a comment on Bill Maher that needs questioning

I can remember it verbatim, but she was asked something about women voting and her answer was "well, I didn't give them the right to vote" or some such. Does she think women shouldn't vote?

7. I found the interview transcript

but I still don't get it. It's just there...see? I couldn't even make sense of it in context.

MAHER: And what about your boyfriend, Ronald Reagan? He would have sat there for seven minutes? You don’t think--

COULTER: The difference is Ronald Reagan—

MAHER: You don’t think you’re—

COULTER: —Ronald Reagan would not have been reading at a school. My objection is that the most powerful leader in the world is taking the time to sit in kindergarten classes and read textbooks as president. But I’m not the one who said women should have the right to vote.

MAHER: But you don’t think you’re working backwards from your devotion to George Bush to what is the right thing to do? If Al Gore had been president and was sitting there for seven minutes, you’re telling me you wouldn’t be chopping off his head for that?



What'd she mean by that? Beats me. :shrug:

8. I think she's saying that if women didn't have the right to vote

Presidents wouldn't have to do warm and fuzzy photo ops with kids in order to pander to the women vote. I guess Coulter thinks that men don't care about their kids education. Truly pathetic.

Coulter thinking and writing is disorganized and skips from subject to subject. This interview transcript points that out. A truly deranged mind.

9. And implying that's *all* women care about...

...which is equally pathetic.
Luh-luh-luh-loser.
