In her book TREASON on page 267 she (while making us LOL) she says what so many of us have been thinking RE liberals... which, btw... eerie how things haven't changed ONE iota since 2003, so this is quite relevant:

from p 266-7

[Ms Coulter lists many incidents of Muslims killing people, mostly Americans, from 1979 when the US embassy in Iran was taken over and Americans held for 444 days to Sept 11, 2001. Then she reminds us of the inept Democrat that Bush foolishly hired for Transportation, Norman Mineta and how he was frisking little old ladies and just about anyone else, save the ones who looked like the terrorists involved in 911]

She says:

So naturally, Democrats refuse to allow law enforcement to look for Muslim extremists. While braying about what Bush knew and when he knew it, liberals had nothing but contempt for Ashcroft, the man in the Bush administration doing the most to ensure another act of... terrorism did not occur... [they] began complaining about every reasonable national security measure... Liberals were angrier at John Ashcroft for questioning Arab visitors to this country than they were about the terrorists... [even calling] Bush and Ashcroft the Constitution's "main enemies." [Please]

The attorney general was regularly compared to the Taliban--and you aren't a patriot until some liberal compares you to the Taliban. .. [A]lleged civil liberties concerns had only one purpose: to give Muslims a cushion for another attack...

Unable to root for al-Qaeda openly, democrats lodged surly objections to the Bureau of Prisons for listening to the conversations of prison inmates suspected of plotting terrorist attacks [
OMG OMG]. Whenever liberals are losing on substance, they pretend to be upset about process... [complaining about] "no congressional input whatsoever."

Ashcroft was probably worried Leahy would take as long with procedures [against] terrorism as he was taking with Bush's judicial nominees. If Speedy Gonzalez Leahy were required to review Justice Department guidelines, America would be an Islamic regime before he got around to holding a vote.

Coulter may not now be "socially conservative"... I've heard a few things.. but boy, back in the day... she hit the nail on the head.

:)
 
She sounds like a mighty ignorant woman.
And looks like a mighty ignorant man.
🤷‍♂️

Not impressed.
 
Too bad that in the 18 year since she wrote those words, both she and the people who bought and read her book have turned on Bush and called him the worst mistake since Nixon. So which is it? Was what Bush did the right thing to do (her contention in the book) or was it the wrong thing to do (the contention made by the vast majority of Conservatives when discussing Bush today)?
 
I believe Ann Coulter has turned on Trump. She said the GOP should keep his as the "rally guy" I think that might be one step up from "pool boy" but you'd have to ask Rev. Graham about that
 
Coulter is a performance artist, much like Milo. She basically says terrible things to pit conservatives against liberals and preaches hate in exchange for money. That's all Coulter knows.

She's a hateful person overall, that is her only legacy.

here's something else that is ignorant:

those who can't come up with ANY intelligent argument, just "That's stupid"... "that person is a moron"... "that person is ignorant"

ignorant AND boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I didn't attack the message, for what its worth.

By the way, which is the true message? The one in the article above, or the one she spouted after he left office when she called him the worst President ever and basically a joke.

Hard to tell when conservatives are so prone to eating thier own once they have served thier purpose.

It is very easy to attack the person when he/she doe not follow the message they preach... for example:

Ted Cruz criticizes Trump for attacking his wife, then months later is trying to get votes for him.

Kamala Harris criticizes Biden for his position on busing, something that affected her personally, yet when he called her to be Vice President, of course she was all over that.
