9/11 Widows * "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis... These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them... I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much." o Excerpt which caused most media controversy Godless: The Church of Liberalism June 2006<1><2> Affirmative action/Maxine Waters
* Without affirmative action, African-American Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): couldn't get a job "that didn't involve wearing a paper hat" o Column by Ann Coutler, August 9, 2006 <3>
Al Gore

Airport security
* "Airports scrupulously apply the same laughably ineffective airport harassment to Suzy Chapstick as to Muslim hijackers. It is preposterous to assume every passenger is a potential crazed homicidal maniac. We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. o This Is War; September 12, 2001. * "Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether." o AnnCoulter.com; November 22, 2006
* "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war." o This Is War; September 12, 2001.
Bill Clinton
* "Bill Clinton "was a very good rapist"; "I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties"; "I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning." o New York Observer, January 10, 2005.
Canada
* " better hope the United States does not roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." o Fox News; Hannity & Colmes, November 30, 2004.
Christianity
* "The Episcopals (sic) don't demand much in the way of actual religious belief. They have girl priests, gay priests, gay bishops, gay marriages -- it's much like The New York Times editorial board. They acknowledge the Ten Commandments -- or "Moses' talking points" -- but hasten to add that they're not exactly "carved in stone." o The Jesus Thing; January 7, 2004.
* "Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed')". o From her column; March 4, 2004.
Court Ordered Desegregation of Schools
* "Few failures have been more spectacular. Illiterate students knifing one another between acts of sodomy in the stairwell is just one of the many eggs that had to be broken to make the left's omelette of transferring power from states to the federal government." o Ashcroft And The Blowhard Discuss Desegregation
Dan Rather
* "What are the odds that Dan Rather would have accepted such blatantly phony documents from, say, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth?" o C-BS; September 16, 2004.
Democrats
* "There are a lot of bad Republicans; there are no good Democrats." o Interview with Brian Lamb; August 11, 2002.
* "Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the "F-word" are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling." o On the 2004 Democratic Convention; July 26, 2004.
* "The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle. They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors." o New Idea for Abortion Party: Aid the Enemy; November 23, 2005.
* "In the history of the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people in America got together and formed a voting bloc." o Fork replaces donkey as Democratic party symbol; January 12, 2006.
Enviromentalism
* "The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet--it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view." o Oil Good; Democrats bad; October 12, 2000.
* "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.'" o Fox News; Hannity & Colmes; June 20, 2001. o (References to Genesis 1:28. See also Dominionism)
Evolution
* "I would like evolution to join the roster of other discredited religions, like the Cargo Cult of the South Pacific. Practitioners of Cargo Cult believed that manufactured products were created by ancestral spirits, and if they imitated what they had seen the white man do, they could cause airplanes to appear out of the sky, bringing valuable cargo like radios and TVs. So they constructed “airport towers” out of bamboo and “headphones” out of coconuts and waited for the airplanes to come with the cargo. It may sound silly, but in defense of the Cargo Cult, they did not wait as long for evidence supporting their theory as the Darwinists have waited for evidence supporting theirs." o Exclusive Interview: Coulter Says Book Examines 'Mental Disorder' of Liberalism; June 6, 2006.
Freedom of Speech
* "They're always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment." o University of Florida speech; October 20, 2005.
Immigration
* "I'd build a wall. In fact, I'd hire illegal immigrants to build the wall. And throw out the illegals who are here. <...> It's cheap labor." o Fox News; The O'Reilly Factor; Transcript via Media Matters; April 14, 2006. o On illegal immigration
Iraq War
* "I was not enthusiastic about the last Gulf war. Of course, it goes without saying, I rooted for our team once the shooting started. But I wasn't for that war. I was also against sending Americans to the Balkans. My point is, I'm genuinely against America deploying troops without a really, really good reason. I just can't imagine anyone not seeing 9/11 as a really good reason for wiping out Islamic totalitarians." o <4>; May 17, 2003.
* "When we were fighting communism, OK, they had mass murderers and gulags, but they were white men and they were sane. Now we're up against absolutely insane savages." o <5>; August 16, 2004. o War on Terror v. Cold War

Islam
* "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." o <6>" September 12, 2001.
* "Point one and point two by the end of the week had become official government policy. As for converting them to Christianity, I think it might be a good idea to get them on some sort of hobby other than slaughtering infidels. I mean perhaps that's the Peace Corps, perhaps it's working for Planned Parenthood, but I've never seen the transforming effect of anything like that Christianity." o The Drudge Report; June 26, 2002. o From an interview with Katie Couric
* "They're never very high in anyone's caste system, are they? Poor little Pakis." o <7>; August 16, 2004. o refering to expatriate Pakistanis
* "Bumper sticker idea for liberals: News magazines don't kill people, Muslims do." o <8>; May 18, 2005.
* "One showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying "Stop, stop — we ran out of virgins!" — which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular — oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence ... Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back." o Calvin and Hobbes – and Muhammad; February 8, 2006. o Regarding the cartoon controversy
* "I think our motto should be, post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'" o At CPAC Conference; February 10, 2006.
* "You know, ok. I made a few jokes--and they killed 3000 Americans. Fair trade." o At CPAC Conference Q&A; February 10, 2006. o In response to using the term "raghead"
* "The amazing part of the great Danish cartoon caper isn't that Muslims immediately engage in acts of mob violence when things don't go their way. That is de rigueur for the Religion of Peace. Their immediate response to all bad news is mass violence. That's a "dog bites man" story and belongs on page B-34, next to the grade school hot lunch menu and the birth notices. After an Egyptian ferry capsized recently, killing hundreds of passengers, a whole braying mob of passengers' relatives staged an organized attack on the company, throwing furniture out the window and burning the building to the ground. Witnesses say it was the most violent ocean liner-related incident since Carnival Cruise Lines fired Kathie Lee Gifford. The 'offense to Islam' ruse is merely an excuse for Muslims to revert to their default mode: rioting and setting things on fire." o Muslim Bites Dog; February 15, 2006. o Regarding the cartoon controversy
* "Perhaps we could put aside our national, ongoing, post-9/11 Muslim butt-kissing contest and get on with the business at hand: Bombing Syria back to the stone age and then permanently disarming Iran." o Muslim Bites Dog; February 15, 2006.

* "When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors." o Conservative Political Action Conference; February 26, 2002.
* "A couple alleged males attempted to sucker punch a 100-pound woman and missed. And they ended up with their faces smashed in and spending the night in the Pima County Jail, where I'm sure -- being good liberals -- their views on gay marriage will serve them well." o The Sean Hannity Show; October 22, 2004. o Her feelings on having 2 protestors throw pies at her during a speech

Spying
* "Which brings me to this week's scandal about No Such Agency spying on 'Americans.' I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo." o Live and Let Spy; December 21, 2005

Terrorism
* "If Chicago had been hit, I assure you New Yorkers would not have cared. What was stunning when New York was hit was how the rest of America rushed to New York's defense. New Yorkers would have been like, 'It's tough for them; now let's go back to our Calvin Klein fashion shows.'" o <10>; May 17, 2003.
Women
* "I think should be armed but should not vote...women have no capacity to understand how money is earned.

* "It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted." o <11>; May 17, 2003.
* "I think the other point that no one is making about the abuse photos is just the disproportionate number of women involved, including a girl general running the entire operation. I mean, this is lesson, you know, number 1,000,047 on why women shouldn't be in the military. In addition to not being able to carry even a medium-sized backpack, women are too vicious." o Fox News; Hannity & Colmes; May 5, 2004.
Voting
* "I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote." o Fox News; Hannity & Colmes; August 17, 1997.

* "Conservatives believe man was created in God's image, while liberals believe they are gods. All of the behavioral tics of the liberals proceed from their godless belief that they can murder the unborn because they, the liberals, are themselves gods. They try to forcibly create 'equality' through affirmative action and wealth redistribution because they are gods. They flat-out lie, with no higher power to constrain them, because they are gods. They adore pornography and the mechanization of sex because man is just an animal, and they are gods. They revere the UN and not the U.S. because they aren't Americans -- they are gods."
