Those Poor, Poor Conservatives
The latest trend of the crazies is to claim to be victims. Remember how they used to mock us for being victims all the time? Things were so much simpler then. . .
Let’s start with Ann Coulter, the pretty pundit who we would like to bang if only we thought she believed in birth control (and maybe if she wasn’t a Nazi). Coulter appeared on CBS’s The Early Show with Harry Smith yesterday to promote her new book that she plagarized from a 72 year old white supremacist living in the Mississippi wilderness. Her main argument (and I use the word “argument” loosely) is that liberals have used their self-identified victimhood to attack conservatives, the real victims. You can start laughing now.
SMITH: You don’t think as an African-American, that he [Obama] was at some greater risk?
COULTER: No, I do not. Because every presidential assassin — or attempted presidential assassin in the history of the nation has either been a liberal, a communist, an anarchist, someone on the left, or there were two who had no politics whatsoever unless you count John Hinckley, who is certifiably insane. So, you know, we have-
SMITH: Which goes back — which goes back to — to your basic point that everything that’s wrong with America is the left’s fault.
COULTER: No, I have — I wouldn’t have mentioned that all these presidential assassins were anarchists, communists, liberals, they were some form of, you know, basically Obama’s base, other than the fact that everyone keeps talking about Obama being at some unique risk. Well, I’m sorry, Sean Hannity’s at greater risk. Rush Limbaugh’s at greater risk. I promise you George Bush is at greater risk. He has been physically attacked two weeks ago. There’s a book fantasizing about George Bush’s assassination. There’s a movie — a documentary fantasizing about George Bush’s assassination. And there are more hits on going Google for Obama and assassination than Bush and assassination. So maybe we can stop talking about the threat of right-wing violence in a country that is teeming with left-wing violence.
Let me stop you there, Ann. Sean Hannity has never had a group of rednecks arrested for plotting his assassination. Rush Limbaugh has never had a song written about him titled, “Rush the Magic Cracker.” And George Bush — George Bush had a shoe thrown at him from a newly liberated Iraqi.
The crazies have been in charge of this show for the past 233 years. Gay marriage, abortion, prostitution, and marijuana still aren’t allowed in every single state in the US of A. “In God We Trust” is still on our money, for Batman ’s sake! And yet, there’s some sort of left-wing conspiracy, out to maintain the status quo of sex in schools and socialists in the White House.
Carve a B on your face and cry me a river.
And I know — I know – I’m attacking Ann Coulter now. I’m playing the who’s-more-of-a-victim game. But come on. She started it.
SMITH: Here’s — here’s my only other serious point. You talk about victims and victimhood in America, which I think is a serious problem. On the other hand, the more I listen to your complaints, the more I kept thinking, well, you’re the whiner. You’re the one who’s claiming victimhood here. That you’re the victim of this great left-wing conspiracy-
COULTER: No, I’m not, but there are real victims.
SMITH: -if there was a real live left-wing conspiracy, how do you account for a Republican president being elected and then realizing it?
COULTER: It’s amazing, it happens because of the great wisdom of the American people. But the point is, I’m not saying I am the victim. I’m saying that by playing victim, real victims are created. You have millions of unborn babies. They are — they are real victims. You have the Duke lacrosse players, real victims. You have George Bush, the most persecuted, attacked, and assassination movies and books, president I think since Richard Nixon, you have Joe McCarthy, you have Robert Bork, you have Tom Delay. Everyone was identified as an oppressor — Sarah Palin-
Stop! Stop, stop, stop!
Oy. You can read the full transcript of the interview here , but I don’t recommend it. I’ll put the rest of the crazies in their place tomorrow. Until then, I have an unborn baby to kill.
This leggy blond motormouth was just on the Today Show and Matt Lauer barely got a word in. Free publicity for her stupid book. Sadly, people will be buying the thing!
Sorry Gwenyth,
Matt didn’t allow Ann to complete but a couple of full sentences. She was his guest, not very hospitable of hime. It’s a shame that Lauer can’t just report the news without his personal bias, like Ann Curry does. I am a conservative (one who adhers to principles of limited government, personal responsibility and moral values). This does not make me a Republican. Lauer, a liberal(who’s views reject traditional and Biblical standards in favor of subjective or relative standards) trys to impose his views on the reporting of news. He should get a talk show and leave the reporting of the news to those few newscasters that we can respect.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do we do with internet trolls? OK, we usually fight with them. But what are we supposed to do? Ignore them! They crave attention and they spew intentionally provocative bullshit to get that attention. Ann Coulter is the live version of a troll. We need to stop putting her on TV, stop talking about her, stop blogging about her, stop giving a rats ass about the stupid shit that comes out of her mouth on a daily basis. Her sole purpose is to be annoying. She is a complete and total failure if we don’t rise to her bait.
And as far as these far out of the mainstream rightwingnuts whose books become best sellers, it’s because conservative book clubs buy up a ton of the books themselves to manufacture popularity that simply does not exist. Kind of like calling far right propaganda “fair and balanced.”
If Lauer is a liberal, than I’m a 9ft. tall Mongolian hockey player.
Keith clearly doesn’t remember any of the interviews he gave to W. (where the hardest question he asked was, “Is it hard being this awesome?”), or that he simply repeated right wing talking points while interviewing Obama, but softballed McCain at every opportunity.
As for Coulter, well, KO pointed out last night that her book is largely based around her opinion that NBC is a leftist outlet which can’t be trusted- then whined and lied and bitched and moaned that she didn’t get a chance to hawk her garbage on NBC.
She’s a fucking attention whore.
Oh I so cannot wait for your post on the “rest of the crazies.” That guy is a card carrying member of the republican professional victims society.
Ugh I would be so happy if I never saw that prissy dumb blonde bitch again!
Well, I know at least two people who buy all of Ann Coulter’s books. One is my former boss, who is a library manager; she claims the library’s collection is well-rounded and designed to meet a variety of viewpoints, but I dare you to try to find a political book written from any other viewpoint than that of a conservative Republican. If you should happen to find one, it was most likely donated or requested so much that she had to include it.
But I digress. Coulter is one of those people who gives right-leaning individuals a bad name. I’m waiting for one of her interviews to devolve into fisticuffs. Now, that would be entertaining.
