Agreed. She's doing what ol' Mikey Moore makes a living on but liberals LOVE him to death.

No, no, no.

Michael Moore is not racist.

Ann Coulter is.

Michael Moore uses facts to back up his arguement, and while he may exaggerate some facts and disregard others to try to make his POV look stronger, at least he doesn't MAKE STUFF UP like Coulter.

I think we can all agree, Michael Moore is the type of guy who'd look after the oppressed, stick up for the little guy, and is well-meaning to all types of people. If you believe in Heaven, he's the type of guy who'd go to it. Coulter on the other hand, I think we can ALL agree, no matter what religious background we may have, is obviously going to rot in Hell.

What the fuck? Are you his PR person or something? Both Michael Moore and Ann Coulter are repugnant. Though Ann Coulter is just a thousand times more obnoxious.

Oh yeah, lemme add something to this statement too:

They both suck.

Yet more proof of the Nintendo fan/fringe conservative correlation! :lol

You know... I've noticed some stuff like this in real life. My diehard Nintendo friends are pretty conservative, while the people I know who own multiple systems are liberal. And of course you have this board, with people like Drinky being liberal, Chris Kohler and Lindsay being more conservative. Wonder why this is? You'd think the Nintendo fans would be all for gay rights considering characters like Kirby :p

Did anyone read the Time magazine wth AnnCoulter on the cover? It kind of hinted that she was really a comedian and her whole character was an act. Not sure if I beileve this, but it sure puts her outragous remarks into perspective.

I don't know anything about her (not an American), but from the one big speech of hers I read I just assumed straight away that she was a satirist, and not a very subtle one. Is the general concensus that she's serious then?

There are millions of people in this country that spew hate talk as poisonous as Coulter-speak, and they are not satirists. A good percentage of this country is batshit insane, thus it can be difficult at times spotting satire.

This guy is my new hero. It makes me wish that Coulter would show up here at my school so I could do the same thing. There needs to be more people call attention to the reality of political discourse in the US, and the reality is that it's a farce.

Voltaire was a satirist. Dante was a satirist. Satire = subtle, intelligent, witty. Ann Coulter is just a hate monger. Calling her a satirist is like calling Brittney Spears the major musical talent of our time.

Actually, I've thought for some time that she's just a satirist.
 
The reason I don't take her seriously is that whether she really believes what she says is irrelevant; she's a good businesswoman in the sense that she's spotted an opportunity and taken it. By giving political commentary handjobs to a traditionally male-dominated party who cream over the thought of a female with similar vitriolic hate but no party boat-rocking opinions, with her Mayflower looks and neutered sexuality, she's laughing all the way to the bank.

Whether she's serious or not is really besides the point. The disturbing thing is that she has a very very large audience that laps up her schtick and quotes it as gospel.

Exactly, she's just another tool in the Republican propaganda system. I bet she's no different than a lot of the main players in the Republican party right now--she probably doesn't care for or she may even despise the values that she articulates in her "professional" work.

It's like I said about Fox News in another thread. A lot of the viewers of FNC watch it because it affirms their beliefs and philosophy when in reality our press should challenging our leaders and exposing the hypocrisy and criminal activity. These our the same folks that have made Coulter a millionaire.

Since when did doing something novel with what surrounds you and making a profit from it become evil in America? If anything that is what makes a person admirable.

Its not the profits or his success that I was knocking. I was responding to Fight for Freeform's ridiculous description making MM out to be some sort folk hero who is to be admired. The guy has his crowd, he knows who the suckers are, just as Coulter does.

That doesn't even make sense. Coulter is a satirist, just not a good one. Britney Spears is a musician, just not a good one.
She can be both a satirist and a racist.

I'd tend to think people who consider her a satirist are just in denial that anyone would really believe what she says. Perhaps you forget the 1990s and Rush Limbaugh.

Even so, if she is a satirist what the hell is she satirizing?
 
Fight for Freeform: :lol Lay off the pipe. Moore and Coulter do the same fucking things. Both lie like cheap knockoff rugs for financial gain. Coulter hates anyone but whites and Moore hates whites.

I think they should both marry. She's too ugly and he's too fat so they'll never be able to actually reproduce.

It's funny to think of Ann Coulter as a satirist, but the sad truth is that she IS NOT. She is completely, batshit insane, and unfortunately there's millions of people gobbling her shit up.

She lies. I was watching an interview with her on Canadian television, and the reporter completely owned her. I'll try and find the link, it was hilarious. The reporter provided the facts and she flat out said "No, you're wrong, I don't believe you".

She's unintentional satirism of right wing shit gobbling.

Holy crap, are all your news stations this biased? The liberal one was just as bad as Fox (in terms of bias, not truth). What a fucking joke. I now appreciate the NZ news here at least.

I say satire because it's the closest definition outside of "performance art." Denial? Maybe. I can't believe that someone who - on multiple occasions - suggests that it would be good for terrorists to bomb more places in this country (as long as they're liberal) is being serious about it.

It just seems like such a genius plan: Jerk off the right to get them to open their wallets, and just see how far you can go before even the hardest of the hardliners say "Woah, now you've gone too far..."

Maybe you just haven't met as many right wingnuts as I have. I have heard them say with all seriousness that they wish that all the gays would die, or that all the tree hugging people would die. Were they satirists too? This whole satire thing is just trying to expand her marketability. "What?? I'm peddling hate, violence and racisim? Um...I was joking...yeah yeah a joke. Wasn't I so clever? Haw haw haw.."

I was joking about the other heaven stuff, but you are seriously deluding yourself if you think that Moore is racist.

Coulter is a certified racist, and like I said, she doesn't back up her opinion with facts, which is what Moore at least tries to do.
