Bernie Ward to debate Ann Coulter this hour on Blitzer
Last week, Bernie said it would be about 9:30 Pacific Time. Blitzer just announced it. So, I guess they're on. I hope they touch on the "news conference".

Last time, Bernie wiped the floor with Armstrong Williams. Said he was looking forward to today.

1. BERNIE!
I love him...he kicks ass. Coulter might have to defend her view by making fun of his weight..cheap shots are her forte.

7. Two things Bernie said were -
He might stop her in her tracks if she makes broad statements about "liberals" and ask her to define "liberal".

And he also said he wouldn't ler her tell "the big lie" and get away with it.

He also said that he was going to be on vacation this week from his radio program. But he asked listeners to send him emails critiquing how he did on the program. And also asked that we write to CNN and ask them to have Bernie on more often.

He was so good when he was on with Williams, I wrote to Blitzer. When Williams could get nowhere, he called Bernie "bitter". And Bernie said you're darned right I'm bitter about the war and the waste of lives - something like that. He didn't back down one bit but went right at Williams and even Blitzer said there was no proof that Iraq had anythng to do with 9/11. They were on for 20 minutes.

5. All she ever does is whine that she never get a chance to talk.
Except when she is on Fox News, of course.

same garbage.

15. Betcha Wolfie remains true to form.
He'll let Ann spew any venom she wants, but he'll interrupt Bernie everytime he tries to make a point. That's the way he operates. Just watch. I hope Bernie can get his point over anyway.

17. He didn't do that last time Bernie was on
That was when Bernie was on with Williams. Wolf actually agreed with Bernie and pressed the issue about how Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Even Ward commented on it during his radio program that night. So, we'll see if Wolf got the memo.

20. Bernie talking about how the admin doesn't care about soldiers
Rummy didn't sign the form letters.

Ann smiling, laughing saying if he signed the letters, Rummy would be crisiticized for not paying attention to the war.

Wolf going after her on this.

She compares this to WW2 and Baernie going after her on the numbers.

25. Will there be a peaceful solution to Iraq?
Doesn't have to be a Jeffersonian Democracy. Liberal "carping" every step of the way.

Bernie - He would like to see democracy in Iraq without the hell they're in now. But he doesn't see it happening. He sees civil war. He also sees a gov't closely aligned with Iran.

Ann - From 9/11 lots of carping, pessimism from the left. Bernie said she was right because of how things are happening.

32. I hope so
I listen to the Lion of the Left every night. He and Ray Taliaferro( who follows Bernie) are the the strongest spokespeople for the left.

Not letting Coulter get away with her shit.

30. Imagine if he was really good looking, like Conason.
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 12:52 PM by BlueEyedSon
Not for my sake, I just recognize that most merkins are very shallow. I mean if Coulter wasn't a skinny blonde, would ANYONE listen to her shit?

Oh thats right, if the leftie was good looking, they wouldn't have him on CNN.

29. Referring to Ward, Coulter says, 'in chapter two of my book I
talk about this. From the very beginning we've had this liberal carping. They said it'd be harder to catch Saddam than Osama bin Laden. They've been nay-sayers from the beginning'.

Ward replies, "and they've been right every step of the way".

By the way- whoever said it would be harder to catch Hussein than it would be to catch bin Laden? Haha.

34. Exactly -- they like to claim that's what we were saying
They made a big fuss over that when Saddam was captured. "See? They thought we couldn't get him!" I was surprised they didn't get him immediately -- the question wasn't that it'd be easy to topple Saddam, it was what would come *afterwards.* And people who said it'd be a big mess were completely correct.

36. A couple of things to conclude
Wolf said that they both would be back to continue the discussion another day. I'm glad to hear that as it's an opportunity for a sharp liberal to be on regularly.

Also, Bernie has a book coming out in April. No more about that but it was mentioned at the top of the segment.

Much of what I got was that Ann couldn't go into her bullshit too much. Bernie is just too sharp and doesn't waste his words. She even tried her old nonsense of not being able to speak and it fell on deaf ears. After seeing Bernie on Wolf twice now, he's taken his side over the wingnut guest both times. Bernie has his facts and arguments too tightly prepared is my guess as to a reason why.

39. In normal times no respectable news outlet would air Coulter's silly
bigoted sound bytes. The only publisher she can get for her BS is a fringe outfit that also publishes books for white supremists and religious fundies. No mainstream publisher touches her stuff like they do Molly Ivins and other liberal writers.

41. Ann did her best to rudely laugh at Bernie like it was some kind of joke
while she was talking or listening. She had her "laughing/smirking" face on, only she wasn't laughing out loud. It's her cover-up for being out classed on live TV.

I came home for some lunch and only caught the last part of it, but that was all it took to make me realize that she tops the list, along with the chimp, of slimeballs that are soooo hard to watch on TV. God she's repulsive.

45. The only proper response
to ANYTHING Coulter might say is to just laugh at her and when she gets pissed, say "You can't be really serious!!"

Actually, that is the proper response to just about everything said by these people. Laughter is good medicine and cons and reds deserve more of it when they make their obviously ridiculously outrageous statements.
