Ann Coulter Attacks Latinos In Column, As Conservatives Seek To Reach Out To Hispanic Voters
The Huffington Post

Republicans looking to reach out to Latinos may want to avoid the advice of Ann Coulter.

The conservative pundit penned a column Wednesday in which she lashed out at the “deluge of unskilled immigrants pouring into the country” and portrayed Latinos as a lazy “underclass” looking for a government handout. Coulter titles the piece “America Nears El Tipping Pointo,” presumably to make a virtue of her ignorance of the Spanish language.

Coulter implies in her piece that non-whites are “nitwits who deserve lives of misery and joblessness.” She singles out immigrants from Latin America as particularly “nitwitty,” saying they have too many babies out of wedlock, without citing a published source for the assertion. Nearly half of undocumented-immigrant households -- 45 percent -- consisted of a spouse or cohabiting couple with one or more children, compared to 34 percent of legal immigrants and 21 percent of the U.S. born, according to a 2010 Pew Hispanic Study. ...

1. Isn't She just a bundle of sunshine?

As my friend would say, she's an oxygen thief waiting for her expiry date.

I really which the media would just revoke her "privileges" and leave her to post her rants on her MySpace page.

[MrScorpio]

2. This is beautiful

I hope that the right keeps pissing off potential voters.

[silverweb]

5. Ditto that!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]What a way to gather them to the conservative bosom (so to speak)!



On edit: This is the same reaction I have to all those petitions asking me to tell Boner or McTurtle or some other reTHUG to do the right thing. No! I want them to keep right on being the same incorrigible assholes they've been, and keep right on alienating all sane members of our citizenry!

[rainin]

3. Why does such an ugly human being get to look so attractive on the outside?

I know people will argue that she isn't pretty, but I think she gets all this visibility and fame because she is thin, blonde, and attractive (superficially). It's not fair. May she grow warts on her nose and a double chin for Christmas.

[bluestate10]

11. The sad thing is that Coulter is a product of good schooling and top flight higher

education. She is not one of the run of the mill poorly educated righties. Some thing must have really hurt her and stuck in her mind to case her to be so angry and hateful.

[Blasphemer]

17. Either that or plain old greed

Extremism has made her wealthy.

[beam me up scottie]

25. I doubt that she's a victim.

I knew plenty of kids like her in school, mean, hateful disgusting creatures whose only pleasures were 1.) causing pain and 2.) being the center of attention.

She is just more intelligent than most and learned how to make a very good living doing it as an adult.

[NewJeffCT]

36. Yes, she grew up in New Canaan, CT

one of the wealthy NYC suburbs in southwestern CT. Last I checked, the median home price there was a bit under $1.5 million. She also went to public schooling there, and New Canaan HS is one of the top high schools in Connecticut.

[Incitatus]

12. I'm disgusted by the sight of her.

Maybe it's because I've heard enough of her talking to know who she really is and if I had no idea what her politics were, I might feel differently about her attractiveness. I can't see past who she is on the inside to see anything good on the outside.

[Unknown Beatle]

28. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Personally, I find her physically repugnant. I never thought she was good looking, but adding to her rhetoric, it adds to the ugliness factor.

[narnian60]

54. She loves her hair.

[Initech]

4. Ann Coulter's just a blathering racist now. Just put the robe on and get it over with.

[AldoLeopold]

6. Ah, the PT Barnum of Right Wing Politics Strikes Again

[bhikkhu]

7. Needless to say, the "deluge of immigrants" is mostly in her imagination

as are most of the other repug boogeymen.



Some, but not a lot, and more of a levelling off at a low number than a "deluge". Currently, immigration offsets our low birthrate to maintain a slightly rising population, slightly younger than it would be without immigration.

How many times I've heard about the rising tide of people on welfare too...



...welfare roles being steadily shrunk over the past 15 years. The most annoying thing is the complain about the "obscene number" of people getting food assistance. First, would it be better if they were just hungry? Second, most of those people are working, but not making enough to afford food. Which is more a problem with our cruelly low and shrinking minimum wage anyway:



...and even that isn't accurate, as the inflation rate is one number that has been manipulated over the years.

[julian09]

8. Says outrageous things to get attention, and money.

Just ignore her, best option..

[2naSalit]

10. And..

In case you don't know it, when you click on a story about her, it ups her ratings and keeps giving her a voice. One of the ways the folks on Huffpo figured out how to silence the recurrence of a certain vapid female who was once an actual VP candidate (and her equally clueless offspring) was to stop opening the articles that included her name or tags that included her name. Such action can be done with those evil wench too.

Indeed, ignore her at all times in all ways whenever her ugly head finds its way to the surface!

[Dash87]

37. I'm surprised many haven't caught on to this scam yet.

She's a wind up artist that wants more publicity, leading to more television appearances and speaking tours. This is all about money, and nothing more.

She might not even be conservative. Who knows?

[tarheelsunc]

9. So, this isn't satire... she REALLY published this?

I wouldn't be shocked if she said these on one of her on-air appearances, but to publish this means she had time to reflect on it and think about just how ignorant and bigoted she sounds, and yet she put it out there anyway. That entire article appears to be full of hateful ignorance, starting with the title... "el tipping pointo"... really?

[former-republican]

15. Are you surprised by this ? have you ever watched her on hannity?

Or any show for that matter. This is what she is known for.

[oldhippydude]

13. danm dont some of these people make you feel embarrased just cause your white... n/t

[former-republican]

14. She's a bomb thrower , that's how she sells her books

If she stopped saying asinine and vulgar things "no one would be talking about her"

[beam me up scottie]

23. That's the key.

It's okay to point out that her work smells like something that should be scraped off the bottom of your shoe, but it's counterproductive when people act shocked and outraged.

She FEEDS on that.

[former-republican]

26. I agree it's okay to point it out but I really wish

not a single talking head on the left would even mention her name or talk about her stupid comments , It would devastate her.

[beam me up scottie]

29. Not just the talking heads on the left

but if all media not directly working for the right wing machine would shun her, she'd be destitute in four years.

[struggle4progress]

18. She all the grace of a lynch mob in heat and the elegant style of a foaming snapping wild animal

that's dying of rabies. I can't read anything she writes without wondering if demons and vomit and brimstone spew from her mouth as she writes.

[hifiguy]

22. The late Hunter S. Thompson

once described some Repuke as having the personal charm of a poison toad and the ethics of a hyena. That sums Annthrax up pretty succintly.

[Yavin4]

19. Leave Ann Alone. She's helping us.

She's driving the fastest growing voter bloc over to the Democratic party. The Latino vote will unlock the South for the Dems within a few election cycles, and then we will be one big blue nation.

[Warren Religion]

20. What about non-humans, Ann?

Ya know, your kind?

[hifiguy]

21. Within five years she will be a real

circus geek instead of the fake one she currently plays in the media.

[Rex]

27. I am convinced she is trying to man the helm

of the U.S.S. Bob Novakula! Wants his title!

[hollysmom]

30. it is her career to be a "mean girl" but she is getting too old for that.

[Vinnie From Indy]

31. Coulter is a gift to Democrats

Art of War

[lbrtbell]

32. Me: Coulter is a nitwit who deserves a life of misery and joblessness

Fixed it for ya, Annie.

[aandegoons]

33. The racism in the Republican party has been put out for everyone to see.

Quite honestly I thought the TEA party would have just cut to the chase and called themselves the KKK party. But hell they can't even be honest with themselves.

[Vogon_Glory]

34. Every So Often, The Republicans Claim That They Aren't Motivated By Racism

Every so often you still read about or hear Republicans claiming that their social-darwinist policies aren't motivated by racism. Then people like Cousin Annie come along and deliver their latest oeuvres to the world at large.

Maybe she thinks it's merely outrageous. Maybe she's catering to the racists she knows compose a large part of the right-wing voting block. Maybe she actually means it. But in the long-term, it ain't gonna help right-wingers keep a lilly-white cohort of politicians in charge and pushing a hard-right agenda.

I'm sure there are still some little Muffys and Biffs earnestly trying to expand the Republican Party's voting base beyond the thin wedges of Iberian-descended Cuban emigres living in Florida and New Jersey. Cousin Annie just sandbagged them with a vicious rhetoric that hasn't been seen in national media since at least the mid-1950's.

I could almost feel sorry for those little right-wingers trying to expand the Republican Party beyond a lilly-white base (Then I lie down, take a nap, and get over the urge. ).

[OldDem2012]

35. I'd like to see her spend a day in the fields as a Latino illegal immigrant migrant worker.....

...or doing any job US Citizens will no longer touch. That just might dispel her opinion of Latinos as "a lazy 'underclass' looking for a government handout".

[GoldenOldie]

38. Annie's one and only ability is the fine are of Grifting

Yes, she has had all of lifes opportunities, obtained a fine education, yet she has done absolutely nothing to make this world a better place. She is in fact extremely lazy as it takes no work to write the simplistic crap she produces, nor does it take work to bleach your hair, open your mouth and spout more bs. Yet, those who buy into her bs, somehow feel empowered with their total ignorance and bigotry......much as any snakeoil salesman/grifter does.

She will be in a fast paced mode now, as each day she is aging and she is already beginning to show her age and her lanky awkwardness....it isn't helping her to wear the off-the shoulder, mini-skirts, as it only shows her aging boniness...ugly sight, which does not make good for grifting.

With all of her education and lost opportunities, her one and only claim to fame in her obiturary will be Grifter Extroidinaire.....what a sad legacy.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

41. That would be nice....

....but I suspect the most turmoil she's ever encountered is them fucking up her order at Starbucks, or her dealer not getting her stuff to her before she flew first class to Boca.

[frylock]

39. LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! YOOHOO!!!

i'm saying outrageous shit so you'll pay attention to me!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

40. Time for another rehab stint

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[lightcameron]

42. The female version of Bill Maher.

She bores me for the same reason he does. They're nothing but provocateurs saying things to get attention. Each has their own defenders pretending that one of them is intelligent and correct, while the other is a buffoon and wrong.

Yawn.

[BuelahWitch]

53. No, Bill Maher is a comedian

Yes, he's outrageous at times, but at least he makes an honest living. Coulter not so much.

[lightcameron]

55. He's as much of a "comedian" as she is.

Which is to say, neither is funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

57. No, she's a bile-filled sack of pure hate.

Maher doesn't do that. Just because he may criticize or say things about topics that make people uncomfortable, doesn't make him hateful.

[quinnox]

43. meh, sooner or later, she will probably come out as a liberal Dem and drop her act

It's all an act and meant to sell books and publicity and such, IMHO. It wouldn't surprise me if she came out and admitted it eventually.

[Octafish]

44. Ann Coulter blew Ronald McDonald in efigy.

"Woof woo fwife fwife wiff fwaff?"



http://www.bartcop.com/coulter-fries.htm

Coulter has made a living doing similar pursuits since then.

[marmar]

45. And what kind of work does Annthrax do, exactly?

nt

[Ilsa]

46. They come to the US looking for work and she calls them "lazy".

And the most she can do is peck on a typewriter. Has she ever worked an honest day in her miserable life?

[Odin2005]

47. Sadly, there are A LOT of people who hold those exact same racist views.

And these racist fucks always call non-white people "dirty" or "filthy".

[backscatter712]

48. I find it amazing...

What is with this stereotype of minorities being lazy.

I'd say when it comes to exploitative jobs and nasty bosses, work avoidance is smart. If you can do it, and you can get away with it, and the management at your workplace is assholish to the point where they're not worthy of your best work, then do it!

A slave-owner is not worthy of a slave's labor. The slave is smart to be "lazy".

[scratcho]

49. Twit Supreme-------

What would be big fun and probably effective, would be to jam up a Coulter live event with folks who would laugh loudly at everything she said and just carry on as if she was the best comedian on the stand-up circuit. (same with the KKK). These types have no sense of humor and laughing at them would drive them wild!! I wouldn't screw her with Armey's Dick.

[Arkana]

50. I wonder what it's like to be Ann Coulter.

This soulless, skeletally thin construct held together by a steady diet of hate, fear, vodka, and diet pills.

[abelenkpe]

51. Why does the media give her a voice?

It's shameful and embarrassing.

[MineralMan]

52. Ann Coulter is a bigoted, ignorant person, who should not even

receive the recognition of acknowledgement. Nothing she says is worthy of noting at all.

The best defense against her is through ignoring her completely and not even giving her a platform. Let her speak to her fellow ignoramuses. We can't reach them, either. They have lost. If we're careful, we can make them lose again and again, until they lose even the small following they have.

Ann Coulter is a bigot, and an arrogant one at that.

[Raine]

56. Annie needs to get her skinny ass out of bed at 4:00 or so in the morning and drive along

the streets in the city. I'm often out and about at that time and I see the people she calls "nitwits" waiting for buses to go to work. I see them in the flower mart downtown gettng flowers they will sell on the street and in the produce mart getting fruit to sell. I've never seen such hard working people. I'd love to see her trying to do what they do.

[sakabatou]

58. Well bless her heart... made of hard, black coal.
