Piers Morgan Asks Ann Coulter if Tea Party is Modern Version of Hitler and Mussolini's Followers
By Noel Sheppard | June 08, 2011 | 00:33
Conservative author Ann Coulter stopped by CNN studios Tuesday to discuss her new book "Demonic: How The Liberal Mob Is Endangering America."
During a somewhat rambling interview, host Piers Morgan asked, "Where is the similar mob to Mussolini’s and Hitler’s in the modern democratic era...Tea Party?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: Where is the similar mob to Mussolini’s and Hitler’s in the modern democratic era?
ANN COULTER: Well, I would say that there are a lot of similarities. The French Revolution.
MORGAN: Tea Party?
COULTER: No. No, no, no.
MORGAN: Nearest thing to it?
COULTER: No, they're much closer to the original Tea Party, which, and actually not as, not as much of a rabble as the original Tea Party, which as I point out, the Founding Fathers weren't wild about the original Tea Party curiously enough because they were so against mobs.
MORGAN: Are you wild about them?
COULTER: About who?
MORGAN: The Tea Party.
COULTER: Oh, the current Tea Party?
MORGAN: Yeah.
COULTER: Oh yeah, I love them.
Having equated the Tea Party to Hitler and Mussolini's "mob," Morgan moved in another predictable liberal media direction - Tea Partiers are idiots:
MORGAN: See I don’t really get that.
COULTER: I speak to them.
MORGAN: I don’t get that because you’re a smart cookie.
COULTER: So are the Tea Partiers!
MORGAN: What do people think about you? You're intelligent. You live a provocative life.
COULTER: I believe you're insulting the Tea Partiers.
MORGAN: Well, they're not among the brightest of spellers (?), are they?
Coulter smartly parried:
COULTER: They're smarter than any liberal.
MORGAN: Do you think so?
COULTER: Yeah.
MORGAN: You really think that?
COULTER: Yes, I do.
MORGAN: In your heart?
COULTER: I meet them and speak to them and they get my jokes which already makes them smarter than the average liberal.
MORGAN: Is that why you think they’re so smart?
COULTER: It makes them smarter than the average liberal. I'm always having to explain, map out how the joke works here.
In reality, even when Coulter explains her jokes to liberals - especially the ones in the media - they still don't get it.
But the best was still to come, as now that Morgan had failed at besmirching the Tea Party, it was on to desparaging one of their most famous supporters:
MORGAN: The way you talk as your publisher does here, “Liberals use mobs to seize power and impose their theories on the populace for the good of humanity.” I think Sarah Palin would have written that, who whether you like it or not is irrelevant, is a brilliant rouser of the populous, like nothing else in politics right now. After Obama himself and his last election, she is doing an incredible job marshaling her base. But she also comes out with some pretty inflammatory stuff and that surely arouses a mob mentality. You wouldn't dispute that.
This liberal doesn't only misunderstand Coulter's jokes, he doesn't understand Coulter:
COULTER: I don't think she's inflammatory. I think she's a great speaker. What do you think she said that is inflammatory?
MORGAN: Putting crosshairs on people's heads.
COULTER: Oh, come on. I talk about that in the book, too.
MORGAN: Is that inflammatory?
COULTER: That was invented by Democratic strategist Bob Beckel as he admitted on TV.
MORGAN: And once again, you go back to the Democrats. I'm asking you about Sarah Palin.
COULTER: I go back - where is the camera? I'm going back to the book because I talk about -- let me answer this one. It is a beautiful example of something in the question.
MORGAN: Your default process throughout this so far is fascinating. Every single time I ask you a question, rather than answer about Sarah Palin and crosshairs, you instinctively go, “What about Democrats?"
Well, because in this instance, the answer dealt with Democrats, and, as Coulter pointed out, that's what her book is about:
COULTER: Piers, darling, if I were selling you a book, if I were talking about a book that I had just written about dogs, and you ask me, “What comforts old people,” I would say, “Why, Piers, dogs do. In fact, I talk about it in my book.” My book is called "How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America," and I talk about the crosshairs issue, and if I could answer the question on the crosshairs issue.
MORGAN: You may.
COULTER: It is a perfect example of totally contradictory thinking by the Left in America, an example of the mob where they go around hysterical at Sarah Palin putting these crosshairs on Congressional districts. It was done by the Democratic National Committee. It was invented by a liberal. It’s a classic thing in politics. And it wasn’t on her face. It was a district. These are the ones…
MORGAN: Was it a sensible thing to do (?)?
COULTER: Yes, it is fine for both the Democrats and the Republicans to do it.
MORGAN: Would you encourage them to carry on doing it?
COULTER: Yes. That isn't what caused Jared [Loughner] to shoot up a shopping mall.
Pay particular attention to the next couple of questions from Morgan:
MORGAN: How do you know? How do you know?
COULTER: Because we know that he’s out of his mind.
MORGAN: Mentally unstable guy. As it turns out, it didn't have any connection, it would appear.
If he knew there was no connection between Palin's crosshairs and Loughner's act, why would Morgan twice ask, "How do you know?" Seemed like a host just trying to be contentious with his guest, and that wasn't about to stop:
COULTER: As it turns out, he was a liberal.
MORGAN: How would you have felt if actually he was mentally unstable, he had seen the website, he misunderstood the instruction from the crosshair, and he went and did the same thing? Then what would you think?
A rather preposterous question given what we know about Taylor. But media members love to ask absurd hypotheticals to try to gotcha their guests, especially conservative ones. But this guest wasn't about to be gotchaed:
COULTER: Well…
MORGAN: Would you care?
COULTER: …what if I walk out of this studio tonight, and someone who has seen you accusing me of being mean to liberals is so ginned up, he shoots me? Would you not ask any of the questions you're asking?
Exactly.
What has been fascinating to watch in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings is not just how the press have totally forgotten their concern regarding violent rhetoric, but also how they believe themselves to be exempt from having to worry about they're own behavior as well as being immune to the consequences of it.
Do any of these people that have for years been debasing George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Sarah Palin to name a few concern themselves at all with the possibility that their words could incite an unstable person to a tragic act of violence?
The answer of course is "No" which makes one conclude that all this frenzy about violent rhetoric was by no means about trying to prevent such an incident, but instead to just silence voices on the right they don't agree with.
Fortunately, conservatives don't have to worry about Coulter being so intimidated, especially by the likes of Piers Morgan.

His hypothetical question (What if Sarah Palin HAD actually cause the Tuscon tragedy?) is typical of many of the messages we see in popular culture today.

I'd tell him I still had no problem with using the targeting symbols in politics. Virtually ANYTHING could set off someone who is mentally unstable to do heinous things. Targeting congressional districts is one of the tamer aspects of this practice. How about actually SAYING someone should cause harm to another, like the lefty talking heads and "entertainers" regularly do? Read the Prog blogs (Kos and HufPo) to see the vicious diatribes endorsing physical harm to conservatives. Also, look at a historical record of ACTUAL violence committed as related to politics and show me a comparison between conservative violence on liberals vs. the opposite. I don't know the actual numbers, but violence against conservatives is the overwhelming majority of these attacks. And I'm not just talking about in the US. This is a world-wide phenomenon, and is is easily provable.
Reminds me of an episode of Newsradio
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 9:52am.
Bill McNeil comments on air that foreigners using diplomatic immunity should be dragged from their cars and beaten. So somebody does it. And as Bill is forced to make a couple levels of apologies, as the crazy listeners in their audience react with crazier interpretations. Finally Bill says "Listen to your heart, not the radio", so some mental patient rips out his own heart and holds it to his ear.
But what if that really happened, Piers? It's actually funny that the mostly liberal writers and cast could play that for laughs, but the thought of one crazy person misinterpreting a political flier becomes a grave concern for them. The show was done with the tone of "what are you going to do?" however the real-life lib answer seemed to be "knock conservative radio from the air".

Why doesn't Piers wonder aloud if the NUMEROUS instances of the DNC and democrat pols using virtually the same targeting (sometimes even on specific pics of republican opponents) had caused some kind of lethal attack from a whack-job instead of singling out if Coulter would think differently "if" Palin's ad had been proven to have caused this attack?

Why does there have to be a "Hitlerian mob"
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 2:45am.
anywhere in America? Just because Coulter suggests that the Dems use mobs, does not entail that they would be fascist mobs akin to Hitler's or Mussolini's. If the allegation of using mobs prior to Fascism were just as bad as fascism, perhaps Hitler's mobs would be just Bryan-ian. Fascist mobs are memorable because they are a different kind.
"I'm asking you about Sarah Palin and the cross-hairs" I would have said, "They're over areas of land, I doubt you'd hit anybody at that distance, you can't even see the cities...how many things do I need to say about it without an external reference for perspective? And since we know that it has nothing to do with Loughner's shooting, why bring it into it? Except that it was early spin by political hacks."

Submitted by Grumpy in Arizona on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 10:28am.
This interview is the perfect example to show what the liberal media has become, but more importantly, what America has lost. I’m talking about “Civil Discourse,” you know, the give and take about a particular idea between two reasonable adults.
Simply put, when one of the participants in a discussion is not a subject expert but the other is an expert, it is not so much an interview as it is a tutorial where the student is allowed to ask for clarification from the teacher.
Example: If I’m discussing brain surgery with a neurosurgeon, since I have no idea about what they are talking about, I become a student and can only hope to ask sensible questions to learn and understand what the surgeon is teaching. I have no right to interject my own uninformed philosophy into the lesson.
This is what the lib-controlled media have never understood. They are like students who think they have all the answers and demand the “expert” consider their ill-informed input as an equally valid point to the item under discussion.
A good student will challenge the instructor and ask for proof or clarification, but will not pretend to be the teacher.

"In 2000, he was the subject of an investigation after Suzy Jagger wrote a story in The Daily Telegraph revealing that he had bought £20,000 worth of shares in the computer company Viglen soon before the Mirror 's 'City Slickers' column tipped Viglen as a good buy.[14] Morgan was found by the Press Complaints Commission to have breached the Code of Conduct on financial journalism, but kept his job. The 'City Slickers' columnists, Anil Bhoyrul and James Hipwell, were both found to have committed further breaches of the Code, and were sacked before the inquiry. In 2004, further enquiry by the Department of Trade and Industry cleared Morgan from any charges.[15] On 7 December 2005 Bhoyrul and Hipwell were convicted of conspiracy to breach the Financial Services Act. During the trial it emerged that Morgan had bought £67,000 worth of Viglen shares, emptying his bank account and investing under his wife's name too.[16]"
"Morgan was fired from the Mirror on 14 May 2004 after authorising the newspaper's publication of photographs allegedly showing Iraqi prisoners being abused by British Army soldiers from the Queen's Lancashire Regiment.[17] Within days the photographs were shown to be crude fakes. Under the headline "SORRY.. WE WERE HOAXED", the Mirror responded that it had fallen victim to a "calculated and malicious hoax" and apologised for the publication of the photographs."[18]
"In 2007, Morgan was filmed falling off a Segway, breaking three ribs. Simon Cowell and others made much of Morgan's previous comment in 2003, in the Daily Mail, after U.S. President George W. Bush fell off a Segway, that" "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off, wouldn't you, Mr. President?"[25][26][27]

Piers Morgan said ..."I think Sarah Palin would have written that, who whether you like it or not is irrelevant..."
If Sarah Palin is so irrelevant, why does he and his liberal friends keep obsessing about her? It's been my experience that most people (except for those with OCD) totally ignore irrelevant subjects. .

Sarah Palin meets a smug Limey called Piers Morgan...
99% of Americans think.... who the blank is Piers Morgan. And is he any relation to Simon Cowell?
All of the above Mr Obama? --- How about ALL OF THE BELOW, instead.
Morgan - Cowell = zero, since they are the same?

Zero sum game too. They seem confusingly similar to me!

Is it a CNN prerequisite that interviewers must always TALK OVER conservative guests so we can't hear a word they're saying? Anderson Poofer does the same thing, and it's really annoying.
That's the bias/bs indicator.

That's the bias/bs indicator. ALL talking heads do it, we just tend to notice it when it's done to someone we want to hear from.

Piers Morgan, go back to leftist Britian you dope.

Like some other people have said. Whenever a conservative person of interest goes onto a MSM outlet. The moderator always talks over the conservative guest trying to answer the question presented to them.
Liberals cannot stand an articulate, educated, mannered speaking conservative telling them what or where the heal hits the road. Liberals go nuts when truth is spoken, so speak over them or try to bamboozel them with your witty intellectual swag talk.
That's all of Piers Morgan with a British accent. So I suppose its more acceptable to be a twit Brit.

What exactly would Morgan call those actual mobs in Ohio and Wisconsin, Communist mobs? Back to judging talent showa, buzz his ass.
Another example for her book
Submitted by Carl Kolchak on Wed, 06/08/2011 - 4:21pm.
Here's another example that might be in her book.
Back in 1967 the left was protesting in West Germany. A left wing protestor was shot and killed.
The left blamed it on right wing police and retaliated with violence and killing innocent people.
From the link below.
"The RAF went on to terrorize Germany for decades, ultimately killing over 30 people across the country. The radical "June 2 Movement" used the date of the incident in its name."
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,626275,00.html
Then from Stasi Archives it appears the person who shot and killed the protestor was in fact an agent for the Stasi the East German secret police.
From the link below.
"In an interview with the Bild, Mr. Kurras, 81, confirmed that he had been in the East German Communist Party. “Should I be ashamed of that or something?”

That? Is the best thing I've read in months! THANK YOU, ANN COULTER, and thank you leftists for being so stupid you forgot how much you hate her. You forgot you hate her because you're so terrified of the Tea Party and Sarah Palin that Coulter looks good to you. Guess what? She looks GOOD TO US TOO!
Yes, Ann, we get your jokes, and we love them!!! Don't ever stop sticking it to them, even when they start throwing bombs at you again!

Ann Coulter notches another reality challenged leftist. Wearing liberal hatred like a badge of honor.

Where are the Hitler mobs of today?
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Fri, 06/10/2011 - 12:35pm.
I don't know Piers, what group do you know that throws hecklers down the stairs at their first meeting (after Hitler joined the DAP--later NSDAP) of 130 and truncheons protestors when 2,000 of them get together? The brownshirts pre-existed Hiter, and existed independently, even after the Nazis took power to the point that the Nazis brought out the "long knives" against them. It was the zeitgeist of an angry post-war Germany.
There simply is no counterpart to the brownshirts today! Who knows maybe they picked up after themselves, like the Tea Party--but I'm not betting on it.
