The Wisdom of Ann Coulter
adapted from http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0111.coulterwisdom.html

"I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote."---Hannity & Colmes, 8/17/99

"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."---MSNBC 3/22/97

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

The "backbone of the Democratic Party" is a "typical fat, implacable welfare recipient"---syndicated column 10/29/99

To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."---MSNBC

"I think should be armed but should not vote."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01

"If you don't hate Clinton and the people who labored to keep him in office, you don't love your country."---George, 7/99

"I think it is a rational question for Americans to ask whether their president is insane."---Equal Time

"Don't pray. Learn to use guns."---Politically Incorrect, 12/18/97

"The presumption of innocence only means you don't go right to jail."---Hannity & Colmes 8/24/01

"Originally, I was the only female with long blonde hair. Now, they all have long blonde hair."---CapitolHillBlue.com 6/6/00

"I am emboldened by my looks to say things Republican men wouldn't."---TV Guide 8/97

"I think 's going to prevent the First Lady from running for Senate."---Rivera Live 3/12/99

"My track record is pretty good on predictions."---Rivera Live 12/8/98

"The thing I like about Bush is I think he hates liberals."---Washington Post 8/1/00

On Rep. Christopher Shays (d-CT) in deciding whether to run against him as a Libertarian candidate: "I really want to hurt him. I want him to feel pain."---Hartford Courant 6/25/99

"The swing voters---I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster. "---Beyond the News, Fox News Channel, 6/4/00

"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."---MSNBC 2/8/97

"You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard."---Washington Post 10/16/98

3. I honestly wonder
Does she actually believe the shit she shovels, or is she just a "shock rocker" so to speak?

5. "On Rep. Christopher Shays (d-CT)..."

15. True
Although he voted for the war. The point was simply that he was misidentified in the original post.

20. I was wondering if Shays switched without my knowing it.
He earned my respect when he voted against Clinton's "impeachment."

As for this: "You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard."---Washington Post 10/16/98

Too late, girlie.

10. The Wisdom Of Ann Coutler is an oxymoron, no?
The more I hear from her, the moe I think she is just a publicity seeking prostitute. I am beginning to wonder if she even believes half the shit that falls out of her mouth. I think she says it just because it it controversial and keeps her name on everyones lips.

Or maybe she really is a stupid bitch with the IQ of a pea and the bedside manner of Dr. Mengele. She cetainly does have the Bush Inc. grasp of reality.

13. I thank god for Anne Coulter.
She does more damage to the conservative movement than 100 dedicated liberals could ever hope to do. She's the bully/arrogant priss that everyone hated in high school, mixed with the Nazi/blowhard everyone hates when they grow up. She's easy to despise, and she goes out of her way to be cruel and aggressive, because it's the only way she can keep a camera pointed at her.

She appeals to a tiny portion of the population, but they were singing in the fascist choir already. No loss.

I point to Anne Coulter as often as possible when speaking with Republicans. Talk about a fucking albatross around your neck.

14. Coulter
I'm not so sure about that. Sometimes, I think the right throws the nazis like Coulter & Hannity out there so that anything slightly to the left of them (but, still far right conservative) seems sane and rational.

16. "The Wisdom of Ann Coulter", sounds like a book title.
We can put it on the shelf right next to "Diet Secrets of Rush Limbaugh".

17. and
Along with other very short books:

"Public Speaking" by George W. Bush
"Compassion" also by George W. Bush
"The letter & spirit of the law" by Oliver North
"How to build a successful marriage" by Newt Gingrich
"My love affair with the environment" by Dick Cheney and,
"How to avoid conflicts of interest" also by Dick Cheney...

among others, but I haven't finished my coffee yet.

21. Please don't taint these forums with her tripe ....
The best thing to do is ignore her, shun her ... she deserves no mention ... none at all.

23. The Planet Earth should be and CAN be a PARADISE
But its people like Ann Coulter and her ilk that prevents us from enjoying the pleasant lifestyle it could be. She and her Pub Family want it all for themselves, fuck us low lifes, "let them eat shit"

26. Im glad Im young
Ill most likely be around when she kicks the bucket, I will enjoy that day (wonder if anyone would notice)?

Her unparalleled stupidity is rampant, the idea that someone can only be 1 of 2 things (liberal or con) is wrong, by basic logic.
