Tweety & Scarborough trying to justify Coulter's comments on
MSNBC. You just listen and they basically try to justify her.

Tweety says Coulter is a brilliant writer. BS. That is totally laughable.

Edited on Wed Jun-27-07 08:12 AM by Gabi Hayes
what Maher said about Cheney, as he tried to equate Maher and Coulter. he said that Maher claimed the world would be better off if Cheney "died in a terrorist attack." quote, unquote

he didn't say that, and exactly what he said is important here

what a fricking liar

amazing how they generalize the point that the dems have just as many "vitriolic" commentators as she is.

Oh, REALLY????

and how many of them are given an entire hour on your show, Chris?


you self serving, lying monster

dishonest exchanges like this typify why progressives have no chance to compete in the mainstream media

4. I've been thinking about emailing Matthews
and asking him if is he is going to get a loony left person who speaks total bullshit for an hour, but I can't really think of any. So maybe we should demand that he give Mrs. Edwards an entire hour. Personally, I didn't watch the show, as I refuse to watch anything with coulter on it, but I saw the clip on the "Today Show." Totally disgusting.

18. Correct Gabi, I remember that and has been a while but I think the
Edited on Wed Jun-27-07 09:00 AM by EV_Ares
way Bill said it was if Cheney was not alive or something like that we would not have the Iraq war debacle and as a result not the death and destruction that has come out of it was he did not wish or hope for the death of Cheney but was pointing out that the Iraq war probably would not be going on if he was not alive.

Coulter was actually wishing for the death of John Edwards.

22. YEP ...
It is just mind numbing ...

Edwards was VERY well spoken, clear about her points, as well as non combative ... Stop with the personal attacks because they lower the discourse of political discussion to a point where it loses it's quality ...

Coulter's response, over and over was that Edwards was trying to keep her from writing or talking (which, in reality, given that ALL she does is ad homen attacks, it would unless she adopted a new gig), like a petulent adolescent ...

She was PATHETIC ... Childish ... Had no substantative response ...

But, as noted, SHE gets an hour on this scumbags show, and gets his defense ...

It is SO blatent, SO obvious, the way the MSM is so completely enabling of the "conservative" agenda ... But, the meme, "liberal press" ...

24. Wonder how Bill Maher feels being
equated to his good friend(?) coulterspit by the likes of joe scaborough?

Somebody should run a split screen with coulter's spews and the Dem's "vitriolic" comments and see how much of a liar tweetyshit{there's Dem's vitriolic comment for him) is?

27. "Somebody should run a split screen"...
...oh please, please make it so!

And it needs to be on a TV show not just online. I'd vote for Maher himself to do it on his show. Could be quite interesting.

3. She's not a bad stylist, particularly when compared to her competition
An Ann Coulter column will be filled with lies and faulty thinking, not to mention bitter bile and pure nastiness, but it's very rarely boring. Which is more than you can say for say Sowell or Novak or Thomas or David Limbaugh.

Still in order to call her a brilliant writer you have to ignore all the lies, faulty thinking, bitter bile and pure nastiness, and I'm not willing to do that myself. I guess I'm not surprised that Matthews is.

6. I would love to ask Matthews one question
"When you were in Journalism school, did you aspire to be a puppet for a Nazi-like regime, or did you think you were going to find hidden truths and expose them"?

investigative journalist ... awarded posthumously, of course ...

8. If she's a brilliant writer, then I - and most of DU - must be of
phenomenal talent.

At least none of us plagiarize or "forget" the proper attributions.

10. Scarborough needs to be taken to task for LYING through his TEETH.
Edited on Wed Jun-27-07 08:26 AM by Gabi Hayes
here's the exchange to which he was referring when he accused Maher of saying HE wished Cheney would die in a terror attack, which was prefaced by discussion of some virulent quotes about Cheney on Huffington Post, which were taken down, and which Maher QUOTED, but did not say himself. that quote must be out there somewhere, but isn't on this transcription. you can get the gist of it here:


John Ridley, Joe Scaraborough and Barney Frank are the guests for the show (video). Here’s a transcript from NewsBusters:


Ridley: It’s one thing to say you hate Dick Cheney, which applies to his politics. It’s another thing to say, “I’m sorry he didn’t die in an explosion.” And I think, you know…

Maher: But you should be able to say it. And by the way…

Frank: Excuse me, Bill, but can I ask you a question? Do you decide what the topics are for this show?

Maher: Yeah, I decide the topics, they don’t go there.

Frank: But you exercise control over the show the way that she does over her blog.

Maher: But I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow. (applause)

Scarborough: If someone on this panel said that they wished that Dick Cheney had been blown up, and you didn’t say…

Frank: I think he did.

Scarborough: Okay. Did you say…

Maher: No, no. I quoted that.

Frank: You don’t believe that?

Maher: I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.

11. Matthews is a ratings whore.
Listening to the stuff he said about Aqua Velva Ann to promote her appearance on his show made me sick to my stomach.

15. If she weren't physically attractive to them and to some in the audience
they wouldn't find so many positive adjectives for her--or space on their show.

23. Please note that I said "to them." I think she is TO THEM and that
is why they are acting as they are. I agree with those who don't think we should be commenting on her or her appearance when what we concerned about is what she says or how she otherwise behaves.

17. They're just trying to deflect criticism for having her on.
This isn't about what Coulter said. What Coulter is going to say is predictable. They brought her on so she could say it and now they're sitting there discussing whether she's right to say it. This was a set up right from the start. She had nothing of value to offer. She's only put on to manufacture outrage and attract attention.
