Aftermath of April Fools Day - Ann Coulter reveals to the world just how big of an idiot she is

[ck4829]

Ann Coulter fell for a fake April Fools' Day article by Car and Driver that claimed President Obama ordered GM and Chrysler to cease their participation in NASCAR because it is an "unnecessary expenditure."

Coulter wrote, "If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an 'unnecessary expenditure,' isn't having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan 'jihads' also an 'unnecessary expenditure'?"

Car and Driver originally posted an April 1 story online -- since removed -- with the headline, "Obama Orders Chevrolet and Dodge Out Of NASCAR," and the text, "With their racing budgets deemed 'unnecessary expenditures,' GM and Chrysler are ordered to cease racing operations at the end of the season." However, Car and Driver later clarified that the story was an April Fools' Day joke, then removed the story from its website.

This wasn't simply falling for an April Fool's prank, oh no. She tried to one up Obama and liberals over this, she got outraged over this, and she tried to get her supporters up in arms over this. The people who panicked when Orson Welles performed "The War of the Worlds" on radio had more sense than Ann Coulter has.

Republicans, conservatives, her supporters; what are you thinking guys? Is she really a good leader for you? Really?

1. It really does not mater to them if it was a joke.

many of here fans will go to there death bed believing it because they only listen to her and never read or hear the truth of it.

2. She's been fooled before. Franken pranked her is his book, and she swallowed the hook.

Coulter's intellectual laziness often peeks through.

3. Car and Driver did a great job on the article..

Talked about how NASCAR is running with very old technology and how little of what they do transfers to modern car design.

Everything in it except Obama ordering GM and Chrysler out of NASCAR was pretty much accurate, IMO.

Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from C&D.

4. Gee. So one of her "facts" turned out to have been made up by someone *else*?

Astonishing.
