Today in our Dog Bites Man segment: Ann Coulter makes smug, retarded and deliberately provocative statement. Also this just in: water possibly still wet. For more details on both stories, we go to our special correspondent, broadcast live from his toilets. ---

Would somebody go pat Ms. Coulter on her little head and assure her that we’re still all paying attention to her or something? Sadly, this isn’t even getting the liberal outrage that she wants. Seems to be a general :rolleyes: along with a “look who’s at it again.” It’s not even good trolling. It’s boring and predictable. A mere 2.5 on the PETA trollery scale. How far she’s fallen. She’s the Marilyn Manson of conservative trolling (with a striking resemblance to boot). Once attention getting and now old and busted. ---

Thank God Hannity broached the question of why I was threatened by Caine, because I had no idea I was threatened! Who knew? I just thought he was complete doofus. ---

Meh. Just another example of idiots who are incapable of discussing the actual issue instead picking a side issue to discuss (and of course that side issue boils down to “conservatives are racists”). What if she said “conservative blacks are so much better than liberal blacks”? Would that have been OK with you? Because that is exactly what she said. I noticed that part of the “. . .” in your quote includes the term “our party,” which shows that “our blacks” means “blacks that are members of our party.” ---

> [@Blaster\_Master](#): > > I’m not defending her by any means, as it is still stupid, but I think the point that she’s driving at is that there is a stereotype that blacks are Democrats, whereas Republican blacks are seen as unusual. And there are very good reasons for that stereotype. Not only “good” as in “sufficiently explanatory,” but “good” as in “damned good idea.” What good reasons has the Party of Lincoln given African-Americans to vote for them since the 1960s? ---

Like Phil Ochs sung long ago “some of the best negroes are our friends”. The racism has not left that thought process, nor has time changed it. Coulter is still being a racist cunt, but she is too stupid to even know it. I guess when all you do is insult, insults sound like conversation to your own ears after awhile. ---

Coulter made a Fox news interviewer laugh in her face today (they played a clip on the Daily Show). Here’s a story and clip: > [@](#): > > LEVY: So you’re saying Politico would not have written the story if Herman Cain were white? > > COULTER: I think they after — yes, I think they were him for that. > > LEVY: Oh that is the just the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard in my life, Ann. Seriously? > … She also ranted a bit that Democrats claimed Republicans are opposed to Obama’s health care plan because Republicans are racists. Never once have I heard these two ideas linked. ---

Coulter is still being a racist cunt, but she is too stupid to even know it. I guess when all you do is insult, insults sound like conversation to your own ears after awhile. I think it’s more calculated than that. I think Coulter knew exactly what she was saying and what the reaction would be. She says stupid things like this because she knows that people will condemn her for saying them. And then she uses these condemnations of herself as evidence that she’s “riling up them liberals” and taking the fight to them. The worst thing liberals could do to Coulter is ignore her because then her supporters would figure she wasn’t doing her job.
