Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy recently interviewed right wing commentator and author Ann Coulter about her new book, Mugged, which explores what she sees as a racial bias in left-wing politics.
According to Coulter, the Democrats have a lot to be apologetic about, because although President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, she says President Eisenhower really spearheaded the landmark legislation. Coulter expanded further on how, in her opinion, the Democratic Party takes credit for civil rights reforms:
For a hundred years after the Civil War fought by Republicans to end slavery, its Republicans constantly introducing Civil Rights bills that were blocked by Democrats. Why is it that the 1964 Civil Rights Act is treated as if its the only Civil Rights Act in U.S. history? Because that was the first one in history ever pushed by a Democrat.
Coulter adds that progressives like MSNBCs Chris Matthews dont have any black friends here in the United States and if he were a Republican, he would have been convicted of racism in two seconds.
The Mugged author believes that the Democrats gain political advantage by using racially-biased tactics such as telling black people that Republicans hate them for 100 years or taunting the GOP for not having more diversity in their party. She has also accused President Barack Obama of race-baiting on a regular basis.
Coulter continues to say that the media cries racist in a crowded theater when someone opposes ObamaCare or when someone like Fox News Alan Colmes says the blacks instead of black people.
She also joked that liberals like Lawrence ODonnell and Bill Maher date black gals so they think theyre freedom riders. This statement just makes me ill.

(28,581 posts)Saying that she is a transgender is offensive, insulting to the lgbt community. This has been discussed on DU dozens of times.
If you don't like her find another way to express it.

Either way, I should have stopped reading after that. To be honest, I should have stopped reading after "Steve Doocy". Right Wing commentators are nothing but clown car passengers; kind of like their politicians.

(37,162 posts)The contents may be rubbish, but I do love her book covers. Seeing those big letters: "Ann Coulter: Guilty", "Ann Coulter: Treason", "Ann Coulter: Demonic"...
It may be unintentional, but they're the most accurate part of her books.

(32,056 posts)The power went out in my neighborhood so I had nothing to do but lie down and tune through my battery AM radio. Where I live Levin is live 3-6pm (Pacific Time) on 560 KSFO. However at night I can pick up THREE stations within a close frequency range that carry Levin on delay at 6pm: 760 (KFMB/San Diego), 780 (KKOH/Reno), and 790 (KABC/Los Angeles)! (I just learned also 1560 KNZR/Bakersfield as well.) And then 580 (KMJ/Fresno) plays Levin at 9pm...a total of 6 stations where one can hear Levin in NorCal in the afternoon and night! (Vs. only one station for Thom Hartmann...at 10pm on 960 KNEW, which had been carrying Thom live for about 7 years before putting on non-progressive shows in mornings.)
Levin was interviewing Coulter about this book. Same old shit basically like:
- The Democrats blocked the civil rights act
- The Great Society broke up black families
- Conservatives racist? What about Harry Reid's "negro dialect" comment or Joe Biden calling Obama "articulate"?
- The New York Times and Hollywood are behind "conservative racism" mythology.
Levin was basically tossing softballs and going "mm hmm". And you wonder why this nation's politics are in the gutter.
