Valueless: The Church of Coulter
Today is Thursday, 8 June 2006.
From Ann Coulter’s new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, regarding widows of 9/11 victims:
"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." [p.103]
"[T]hey believed the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing Bush was an important part of their closure process." [p.103]
"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." [p.103]
Coulter on Muslims: “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity". (“This Is War", anncoulter.com, September 12, 2001)
Coulter on South African white supremacism: “In response to a question on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Miss Coulter said she supported the government of Israel for the same reason she supported apartheid in South Africa, because they were surrounded by "savages". (The Daily Bruin, February 28, 2002)
Coulter on African Americans: “Indeed, slavery is the only African institution America has ever adopted.” (How to Talk to a Liberal)
Coulter on the Oklahoma City Bombing: In an interview with George Gurley, Coulter said, "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." (August 26, 2002)
Like Bill O’Reilly (featured here a few days ago; check out http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/ for a good time), Rush Limbaugh, etc., Ann Coulter is a hate entertainer, not a journalist. They manufacture outrageous lies to gain media exposure and make money, while conning the ignorant into support of hate and violence.
These folks put your author in mind of Nazi Julius Streicher, publisher of the newspaper Der Stürmer, which blended virulent anti-Semitism with pornography. (See Wikipedia for a good bio.) He was hanged at Nuremberg in 1946. Not that your author advocates hanging for anyone, but 25 to life seems about right for conspiracy to foment hate crimes. (And your author is not entirely sure that last sentence was meant entirely ironically.)
What is noteworthy about Coulter and her ilk is their crude, cruel, callous, craven cynicism. (I’m having a Spiro Agnew “nattering nabobs of negativism” moment here.) Pitch ‘em enough dollars, they would praise bin Laden to the skies. If history remembers them at all, it will be as bush-league wannabe quislings.
Thomas Paine died this date, 1809, on Grove Street in Greenwich Village, Manhattan.
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. (The Crisis, 23 December 1776)
Compare and contrast: Tom Paine and Ann Coulter, Limbog, O’Heilly, etc.
