Coulter: Obama lead the work of Al-Qaeda?
Edited on Wed May-09-07 09:59 AM by Vyan

Guess what folks, that wonderful fountain of Republican wisdom, Ann (hoof-in-mouth) Coulter, seems to now think that Newsweek magazine has become an "agent of al-Qaeda" by stating that Barack Obama has a lead on the top Republican presidential candidates.

Like of course, it's only with the aid of al-Qaeda that Democrats can actually win, it's not like they have to gerrymander districts, jam the phone lines of their opponents "get out the vote" operations or turn the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department into the voter suppression enforcement arm of the GOP or anything...

WASHINGTON (AP) - A recent Newsweek poll showing Democrat Barack Obama leading top Republican presidential hopefuls could have been made up and might help al-Qaida, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said in her latest verbal broadside.

Coulter, a best-selling author known for outrageous and often controversial statements, was asked Sunday on Fox News'"At Large" what she thought about the survey results.

"I think this is Newsweek doing more push polling for al-Qaida," she said, referring to campaign-season telephone calls to voters masquerading as neutral surveys but designed to build opposition to targeted candidates.

Asked by host Geraldo Rivera whether she thought Newsweek would make up the results, Coulter said, "Yes, I do," adding, "In polls where people are actually allowed to vote, Republicans do a lot better."

Coulter did not explain how the poll might help the terrorist group. Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, some Republicans have argued that their party would do a better job of protecting the U.S. against terrorism than Democrats.

Yeah, that's right - those slow-bleedy defeato-crats are just ready to turn tail in Iraq and run -- and that's good for al-Qaeda, except for the fact that it seems it would completely ruin Zawahiri's diabololical master plan to "kill 200,000 Americans" in the giant venus fly-trap that Iraq has become. Of course that plan is just fine with DC Madam Gold Card client Dick Morris, who figures it's better to let them kill us over there, so they don't have to kill us here.

President Bush has repeatedly argued that the United States needs to “eliminate terrorist threats abroad, so we do not have to face them here at home.”

Last night on Hannity and Colmes, right-wing pundit Dick Morris also claimed that we need to keep U.S. troops in Iraq so that terrorists don’t come to the United States. But he argued that we need to put “Americans right within their arms’ reach” so that they have the opportunity to “kill Americans” there. He added that therefore, “they don’t have to come to Wall Street to kill Americans. They don’t have to knock down the Trade Center. They can do it around the corner, and convenience is a big factor when you’re a terrorist.”
There you go, seems to me that ole Dick-head is probably right. Bush's plan is exactly the same as Zawahiri's plan - so how is Obama the one helping Al-Qaeda again?

By the way Ann, if you think Barack is doing well against the Republicans, just look what John "the faggot" Edwards is doing to them according to the 5/8 Newsweek Poll.

Edwards (50%) v Giuliani (44%)
Edwards (52%) v McCain (42%)
It is true that previous polls have shown Republicans such as Giuliani and McCain with a lead over Hillary Clinton (defeating her 49-40 and 46-41 respectively as of a 5/1 Quinnipiac University Poll) what I think Coulter can't wrap around her tiny little mind around is the fact that the public has now had a chance to see all the candidates following both the Democratic and Republican debates -- and their reaction hasn't been good for the Republicans.

Meanwhile Republicans in the Senate who are expecting to face voters in 2008 are clearly feeling the heat for this President's failed Iraq policy. It looks like they've come up with slow-bleedish timetable/benchmark plan of their own. "Wait 'til September Comes".
This Sunday, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said, “By the time we get to September or October, members are going to want to know how well this is working, and if it isn’t, what’s Plan B?

The Washington Post reported in March, “During a White House meeting last week, a group of governors asked President Bush and Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about their backup plan for Iraq. What would the administration do if its new strategy didn’t work? The conclusion they took away, the governors later said, was that there is no Plan B. … Pace had a simple way of summarizing the administration’s position, Gov. Phil Bredesen (D-Tenn.) recalled. ‘Plan B was to make Plan A work.’

Somehow I don't think that's the answer Boehner was looking for, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Zawahiri's going to like it just fine. Let's just not mention the fact that the place Democrats want to "retreat" to happens to be Afghanistan where they can make bin Laden and Zawahiri eat their own B.S. with tartar source.

Fact is, Republicans are gonna get so hammered in 2008, in Congress, in the Senate and the White House, it's almost not funny. Almost. In fact, I think it's right about time we start talking about the emerging Permanent Republican Minority.

2. Oh, so now Newsweek is the weekly mag for terrorists, huh?
Even people who are on her side of the political aisle should be able to see how completely and utterly stupid she is. It's not political discourse, it's just infantile blathering from a loudmouth.

3. You have to consider Ann Coulter's logic
Al Qaeda = brown-skinned folks

Barack Obama = brown-skinned folk

Therefore, Barack Obama must be part of Al Qaeda. Anyone supporting Obama is also supporting Al Qaeda.

13. People take her seriously?
I think even mainstream Republicans (as opposed to the Free Republic/Conservative Underground radical fringe) consider her a joke.

9. Coulter's drug is media exposure and she needed a fix - bad.
I think it was Howard Fineman on Countdown one night who said, "Ann Coulter needs the media like a tapeworm needs a large intestine." That about sums her up in my book.

14. Coulter should be shot
Well, ok, maybe not shot but certainly committed to a quiet asylum somewhere for a while.

22. I presume that Ted Kaczunski's (aka The Unabomber) cabin.....
deep in the woods is unoccupied. I think we oughta ship her there. Seems like an appropriate place for a venomous, anti-social crackpot. Just be sure to screen everything she mails out of there.

16. Coulter is not controversial
The definition of controversial is an issue or statement about which reasonable, well informed individuals disagree. Her moronic spewage does not even come close to fitting this definition.

17. The more she says stuff like this, the more she discredits herself
with people who might have been listening to her. Newsweek is hardly
liberal media.

19. Some may disagree
But I want her right out there spewing her filth, as a matter of fact I'd love for her to be named the official spokesperson for the repubs. Sure she loves the attention, but everytime she opens that rat trap mouth of hers, she discredits the repubs even more. As much as I detest seeing or hearing her, with every ignorant assualt she makes, she drills another hole in the sinking ship that was once the GOP.

Thinking folks see her for what she truely is, a thoughtless, ignorant, evil, poor excuse for a human being. Only morons will take her seriously.

21. "In polls where people are actually allowed to vote, Republicans do a lot better."
Yes, Ann, tell us about voting. Tell us about how you COMMITTED VOTER FRAUD by using a fake address. Why aren't you in jail? Oh, that's right. It's okay if you're a republican.

I was listening to Thom Hartmann today and heard him say repeatedly, "Voter fraud. Like what Ann Coulter did." I think that should become the new mantra.

Stupid whore.
