The solution to people such as these is simple. Don't hate them. Don't point out their failings, their vile statements, their pathetic attempts to gain attention.

Just ignore them. Every time someone talks about how bad she is, they give her the publicity she craves. Every article, every segment, every water-cooler conversation feeds her. Respond to her with apathy and she is rendered impotent. Believe her to be unimportant and she will become just that. Just turn your back and walk away.
I agree 100%. It is difficult to do, but it is the right thing to do.

Regarding hatred generally, it is a destructive emotion, most importantly for the individual allowing himself or herself to indulge the hatred. People can be frustrating, difficult, ignorant, and self-centered, but I find that I still don't hate them, even when I hate the things they do.

Excuse me, want to rethink that comment? People preach against those who are bigoted and evil. It's very fine and good to hate them. Mrs. Hilter should be put out to pasture already. No one should ever be tolerant of the intolerant. I don't know what the drivel you just typed is about, but somebody sure doesn't get the point and/or should look up the definition of hypocrasy. Seriously, think before you type. :rolleyes:
It's easy for some people to rationalize that just because one person didn't actually pull the trigger, then that person had no part in a murder.

Coulter has not actually physically participated in a queer beating or murder. But the fact that she encourages that type of behavior cannot be ignored.

I also don't know that A. Hitler himself personally executed any jews, but that does not absolve him of the damage he did to them with his rhetoric.

She is just a grade A ignorant attention whore. Her entire existance would cease if people quit paying attention to her.
True. But admit it, the only ones who could possibly attempt to ignore her are those whom she is damaging.

I'm willing to be that her target audience consists of more than just a dozen or a score of simple-minded sheeple. They alternate between listening to her hate-mongering lies, and those of fat-ass Limbaugh.

Funny... one obese male foaming-at-the-mouth "conservative" liar, and one anorexic female foaming-at-the-mouth "conservative" liar... same feces; it just depends on which image you prefer to see it spout out of.

Hate is also just a word.
Coulter is hate-filled and hatefull, therefore to hate her is not a stretch. I hate her for the things she does and says.

As far as my hate for her goes, it is not self destructive. I have not thought about her for months and only see her on TV (in the news) when she can create a contoversy.For the most part I do ignore her.

She is an (negative) attention whore. I don't think that most Republicans or conservatives would even agree with her. (nor any decent people)
Not any more than liberals or Democrats agree with Al Sharpton.

We do have to recognize that the first has not been elected to hold any public office, while the second was the leader of a nation willing to do his bidding. Thus, how we "ignore" them may have to take different forms.

Individuals (such as the one living and ranting now) feed on the hatred they propagate. Yes, it is frightening and disturbing to know that there are those who listen to such hate filled rhetoric and are (though I hate to use this word in this situation) inspired. However, if you are reduced to hating and behaving similarly, such people react by feeling justified in flocking to such individuals.

Instead of REACTING to those individuals, and thus empowering their messages, PROactively address the issues that attract their adherents. Typically, they are reacting to fear of losing jobs, status, respect, security, comfort. Instead of telling them how stupid they are for listening and fearing, enlighten them as to how they can be more secure, happy, and comfortable without them or you resorting to fear and hatred.

Otherwise, we end up with the haters getting into positions of power, and ignoring, I agree, is no longer an easy option.

In addition to some of the other stuff she's said, I got mad when she tried to "clarify" her faggot comment about John Edwards saying that she didn't mean it offensively but meant it as "a schoolyard taunt". Sorry, but there have been too many gay men who have been beaten up, tormented or frightened by someone calling them a faggot. It's not just a schoolyard taunt. (And I don't the gossip that Coulter has gay close friends.)

Not only that, but schoolyard taunts are not good things either! :mad:

Besides, she's a grown woman - she should be beyond such things. :rolleyes:

I personally think that since she hates women's rights so much, she should be forced to stay at home, and never vote or anything. (I think I read somewhere that she didn't think women should have gotten the right to vote!)

How can anyone defend this...

She accuses four 9/11 World Trade Center widows of enjoying their husbands' deaths.

Mrs. (John) Edwards also confronted Coulter for writing that they had a bumper sticker on their car saying “Ask me about my dead son” in reference to the death of their son Wade.
While it was reported that way (by the same news organization that published obvious forgeries about Pres. Bush's ROTC service in an attempt to sway the election), Coulter was referring to the blatant attempts by a group of widows to financially profit by their husbands' deaths (over and above the compensation given them by Congress) or to utilize their widowhood to build political capital.

Several journalists have commented on the repeated anecdotes by John Edwards about his dead son, usually prefaced with the comment, "I've never told this to anyone before, but...". The problem is, he has told the same story so many times, he has forgotten whom he has told and ended up telling John Kerry the same story twice (each time with the same "I never told" preface). The first reference I found was at Time Magazine's online site (here's a link to the story: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1626498-2,00.html).

So that's why she made the bad taste "Ask me about my dead son" bumpersticker joke; it was about a bad taste tactic repeatedly used by a power-mongering scumbag and Edwards deserved to be lambasted.

Many people do not like the way Coulter expresses herself. Fair enough. Many other people do not like how some critics of Pres. Bush say that he is "worse than Hitler, because at least Hitler was trying to do help his people" (a patently idiotic statement, as Hitler was Austrian, not German).

I don't care if the widows wanted political capital or money, either is their right.

You are entitled to your opinion.

Bush say that he is "worse than Hitler, because at least Hitler was trying to do help his people" (a patently idiotic statement, as Hitler was Austrian, not German).

I've never heard this explanation about Bush being worse than Hitler.

Hitler was the leader of Germany and thus they were his people.

The point of the statement being idiotic is not the fact that Hitler was Austrian.

I think Ann Coulter shot herself in the foot when she made these comments during the following interview to promote her book "Godless":


Coulter on the Today show: Attacks 9/11 Widows:

http://movies.crooksandliars.com/Today-Coulter-Wi.mov

Transcripts from the interview with Matt Lauer below courtesy of crooksandliars.com June 6, 2006:

I think this is the first time Matt actually read anything she wrote.
Video-WMP Video-QT (low res)

LAUER: On the 9-11 widows, an in particular a group that had been critical of the administration:
" These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process."
And this part is the part I really need to talk to you about:
"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much."
Because they dare to speak out?

COULTER: To speak out using the fact they are widows. This is the left's doctrine of infallibility. If they have a point to make about the 9-11 commission, about how to fight the war on terrorism, how about sending in somebody we are allowed to respond to> No-No-No. Wealways have to respond to someone who just had a family member die--

LAUER: But aren't they in the middle of the story?...

COULTER: ...Because then if we respond, oh you are questioning their authenticity. No, the story is...

LAUER: So grieve but grieve quietly?
LAUER: What I’m saying is I don’t think they have ever told you, you can't respond.

COULTER: Look, you are getting testy with me.

Lauer actually got to her at the end a little bit because he couldn't believe she would write something as repulsive as that. Wake up Matt, NBC and all the other networks. Ann was off from the beginning of the interview. She had trouble responding to Matt's questions about why Bush's poll numbers are in the tank. I'm glad he brought up her Harriet Miers statements.
Peter Daou: There are two reason Lauer lost the debate with Coulter over her stomach-churning statement about the 9/11 widows...read on
(h/t TP for the transcript)

She's obviously a hypocrite for having a job.

Now, again, does anyone know what happened with her voter fraud debacle after she knowingly registered and voted in the wrong precinct?

The voting fraud made a very strange turn when it was found that some important FBI agent had called the Florida board of voting and **asked** them to drop the case and they subsequently did. I forget the guy's name but I believe the agent was the basis for the Jack Crawford character in "Silence Of The Lambs" (Clarice Starling's supervisor at the FBI) and is a well-known criminal profiler.
