Assume for a moment that you were a co-host on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” and you were given the assignment to interview outspoken conservative writer Ann Coulter.
With everything going on in the world – from Iraq, to immigration, even to Gore-made global warming – what would be the first topic you would ask Coulter to address?
Well, ABC’s Chris Cuomo Monday chose none of those issues, and instead decided to ask his guest about a joke she made several months ago regarding Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards' sexual preference (video available here):
But to begin with the tough words, some tough words for you by the three top candidates in response to what you had said, some were calling it a homosexual slur, you said it was a taunt. They all came out when you were talking about John Edwards and said, 'This was wrong. We must deny it." Fair criticism of you or a shift towards the tolerant among the GOP?
Amazing. With one question, Cuomo was able to disparage his guest AND all the members of the political party she's affiliated with.
Gotta give him credit, right?
Fortunately, Ann came prepared:
No, no. There were, I was denounced all over. All over. I think the one that hurt the most was, was from I'mALittleGirlInAPinkPartyDress.com… Very upsetting…Though about the same time Bill Maher said - and by the way, I did not call John Edwards the F-word. I said I couldn't talk about him because you go into rehab for using that word.
[…]
But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.
No, Ann…only liberals like Bill Maher can get away with that.
What follows is a partial transcript of this segment.
CHRIS CUOMO (ABC NEWS)
(Off-camera) All right. And joining us now is political commentator, Ann Coulter, whose book 'Godless: The Church of - Liberalism," what did I almost say there, liberalism, is out in paperback. There it is. A conservative's conservative, she's had some tough words lately for her own party.

June 26, 2007 - 15:30 ET by BenderI love Ann Coulter. A+ for her.
She is not afraid to use the same rhetoric the Democrats and Left have used for decades without any challenge from the media or the limp-wristed politicians currently referred to as "Republicans".
She has a point.
She should simply use the same phrases/descriptions/wishes that Jesse Jackson, Harry Reid, Pelosi, Dean, Bill Clinton, the DNC, NOW, the Nutroots routinely use in describing Bush/Cheney/GOP/Conservatives/Christians/Jews/Boyscouts/etc.
Turn about is fair play.
Sadly, only Ann Coulter is willing to lay down the game with those wish to harm the USA.
During the flap over the
June 26, 2007 - 15:53 ET by motherbeltDuring the flap over the Jersey Girls, they all claimed that she said they were glad their husbands died. She didn't. She could have defused the whole thing by saying " I should have said they were enjoying the notoriety of their husbands' deaths....not their actual deaths..." but she wouldn't back down and change her wording for those too dense or unwilling to believe anything but the worst of her.
That's why I loved it when she said to Cuomo "and by the way, I did not call John Edwards the F-word. I said I
couldn't talk about him because you go into rehab for using that word."
That is exactly the kind of weasel-wording excuse the Liberals use when they badmouth someone. But I'll bet Cuomo didn't get it....he probably thought she was serious and trying to cover her tracks....

June 26, 2007 - 15:37 ET by stratmanI understand what Ann is trying to do, tie together Maher's Leftist venom of "kill Cheney" with what would be acceptable phraseology in her dislike for Edwards, but her wording was wrong. No American politician should be the punchline or seriously held belief for murder or death. Get out of office - fine, Die in office - no. Wishing death to our politicians is precisely what the enemy hopes for. Maher crossed a line, joined the enemy combatant league and deserves blowback.
What would have been appropriate and more effective for those not cognizant of spoken word nuance, was to use own Maher's fetid statement back to Cuomo as a question, for example, "So should I follow Maher's technique of wishing death on Cheney but substituting Edwards' name instead? Afterall, the MSM and Liberals didn't seem to have much issue with Maher's violence inciting comment."
Put the onus of responsibilty in journalism back onto that pompous snark Cuomo.

Motherbelt:
I like Ann's delivery just fine much of the time but not all of the time. With few exceptions, maybe Johnny Carson for me, most people, in or out of show/news business are never always agreeable to me or anyone else. Except for the delusional, we sometimes don't even like the sound of our own voices from time to time based on what we've said.
Ann, like probably everyone on the planet, whines from time to time about something. Political commentators are not above whining and neither is Ann. This does not diminish Ann, it only gives recognition that she is human like everyone else. She has been part demagogue, but she is a mirror of society as filtered through her experiences, though on the opposite side of the mirror from Maher overall, and that is her schtick. Sarcasm is a viable method for making a point. Sometimes, though, a little sugar is better at trapping flies, and this was one of those occasions in my opinion.
Making a point sometimes needs a stilleto, but oftentimes it can be done in a more gracious and civil manner. As I said, I fully understand what Ann was doing. Unfortunately, her phrasing will give a nice sound bite for the Liberals to demonize her and conservatives more. By slightly altering her wording without changing the context and content, as in my more civil approach recommendation, Ann could have skewered the hypocrisy of the Left and forced the issue back onto the MSM and the Left to flounder over without sounding like a Leftist revolutionary. While you may think that would change the message, the messenger or dumbed down the message... consider the target population she wanted to impress the contradiction upon - The Left. The Right already "get's it". The Left doesn't understand that Maher was a douchebag for what he said and that sort of speech, while constitutionally protected, is culturally unacceptable. Ann's methodology probably will result in a further hardening of the Left's position. So, no further gains in illumination and society takes another Left turn at another fork in the road towards Nero's burning Rome.
I like Ann's thoughts and pretty much have a crush on her. If she came to my town I would even pay money to hear her speak. Like everyone else in the world, Ann is not correct 100% of the time with her political and cultural commentary, but she's pretty darn close.
Lastly, please do not condescend to me about whom I should or should not watch. It makes you seem so... liberal.

June 26, 2007 - 20:00 ET by motherbeltBy slightly altering her wording without changing the context and
content, as in my more civil approach recommendation, Ann could have
skewered the hypocrisy of the Left and forced the issue back onto the MSM and
the Left
By being more civil, she would just get steam-rollered by Chris Matthews and
whoever else she was up against. You seem to be operating under the assumption
that the Liberals fight fair and are reasonable and willing to listen to
different opinions. They're not. They go for the jugular, all the while whining
that they can't win because conservatives fight dirty.
Ann said in that National Review article that with Muslims, we should invade
their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity, everyone
had the vapors. Isn't that exactly what the Muslims want to do to us...invade,
destroy our government and institute Sharia law?
She was just using their own philosophy against them, but everyone here went
into a swoon. How insensitive. Well, she got fired from as a columnist for
National Review for it. And she didn't whine. She called the editors a bunch of
"girlie boys" for caving in to the PC pressure.
My point to you was: that is who Ann Coulter is. She's not
in business to convert the left. You may think she could be more effective
otherwise, but then she wouldn't be Ann Coulter.
Again, I understand Ann and y
June 26, 2007 - 23:17 ET by stratmanAgain, I understand Ann and you loud and clear.
My problem is with declarative statements that include killing of our politicians whether they be Edwards, Cheney or Dennis Kucinich, whether in somber rage masking as satire like Maher's or a sarcastic "Helegianistic" quip like Ann's. (Had to look that one up. Thank you for the education.)
Maybe I'm mistaken but I recall that Ann was not so acerbic a few years back. Essentially calling a politician a "faggot" in a public forum is uncivil and uncalled for no matter what the other side says, how funny it was, how truthful it may be, how absurd it may be, or how topical that word is since the recent flap over Isaiah Washington's pejorative homosexual remarks towards a fellow cast member. She has taken quite a few hits in her career, most undeserved in my opinion, but keeps hitting back, for which I applaud her. I just think she went overboard in how she framed her argument. I wonder if the nuances of her language was understood by Cuomo. I'm postively sure that the nuances will be lost on many civilians. All the Left will hear and focus on is how Ann wants Edwards dead, which is preposterous of course given the semantics of her argument. Still, she will have effectively lost the ability to communicate her argument because of a philisophical constraint or a semantic construct of language, and the rhetoric will ratchet up a notch further.
Ann may have kept true to herself but she failed to communicate more effectively, allowing the other side to escape from confronting a malevolence in their own ranks. That is a grand opportunity lost. We still get "it", they still don't. When does it end? How can it end?
All around the mulberry bush, The monkey chased the weasel, The dog, he thought 'twas all in fun. Pop! goes the weasel.
Beyond these two statements concerning Ann, I would imagine we are quite in alignment about Ann, unless you believe her infallible. I find her captivating, intelligent, powerful and sexy- warts and all, metaphorically speaking. She is the Corvette of political commentators - a bit dangerous at times but always a head turning thrill, and, 100% all-American classic.
BTW, did I tell you I had a crush on her?

June 26, 2007 - 15:39 ET by LeonThe widespread support of Ann Coulter by the Newsbusters crowd is possibly the most hilarious example of hypocrisy I've ever seen.

So funny. If you ask me, you can't have it both ways.

Some of the most popular columns include Dear Abby, Ann Coulter, Roger Ebert, William F. Buckley and News of the Weird- Wikipedia
It does not "employ" anyone.....it "buys" columns from all of the above and others, and "sells" them to newspapers all over the country to print.

By selling mass media articles of a set group of writers, isn't the UPS inherently a media outlet? Isn't a media outlet simply a group that dispenses media?
I don't get it. I see no difference between Air America, HBO, and UPS.

June 26, 2007 - 16:17 ET by Noel SheppardLeon,
As MB stated, UP is a syndicate which pays for articles from writers all over the world. When they publish one of your pieces, you aren't representing them, or working for them. You are just a syndicated columnist, and are paid as an independent contractor.
As such, I ask you again: what media outlet does Ann Coulter work for? ns
But Noel, who is she paid by?
June 27, 2007 - 08:44 ET by LeonBut Noel, who is she paid by?
Who pays Ann Coulter for every single one of her articles?
If I understand correctly, UPS buys the article from Ann and shops it to other Newspapers and collects a commission. Seems to me that they pay her.
Leon
June 27, 2007 - 21:37 ET by Noel SheppardLeon,
Yes. They pay her. But, she doesn't represent them.
When you buy a burger from McDonalds, you pay them, too. Does that mean you represent them?
You're grasping here. Admit that there's a difference between her and Maher/Franken. If you can't, you have absolutely no credibility whatsoever, and really aren't worthy of my time. Period.
Your choice. ns
Leon
June 26, 2007 - 16:08 ET by Gary HallLeon. Cuomo and a substantial % of the MSM's anchors, reporters, writers, editorial writers, etc., are continuously putting Ann Coulter, Rush, and the other 1/2 dozen or so "conservative" commentators on the stand, demanding that they answer to the world for their views and sometimes controversial points they make. In fact, there's a currently an entire movement to restrain their freedom to speak.
On the liberal side of the isle, the constant stream of controversial analysis, views of, and off-color, if not out and out disgusting, comments directed towards conservatives, by the liberal commentators - but not limited to commentators as the list includes MSM writers, reporters, etc. - is not subjected to scrutiny by the same MSM, such as Mr. Cuomo.
When is the last time that Bill Maher, Bill Moyers, Helen Thomas, James Traub, Stephanie Miller, Al Franken, Howard Dean, Dan Rather, and the hundreds of others had to face the daily dose of MSM attacks for their vile speech?

June 26, 2007 - 16:03 ET by stratmanThank goodness you just posted this drivel.
Ann Coulter does have substance to her opinions and does express them well, for the most part.
Alluding to Edwards as a "faggot" was a public expression of what a number of people think privately about him - a preening, say what they want to hear, nancy boy - similar to the vile Maher does concerning a number of conservative candidates and current politicians. Alluding to him as a "faggot" in public as a speaker at a social function was not prudent and civilly degrading to all of us. We are a nation less civil than ever. Ann stepped into the fecal material, but, the liberals are the one's directly responsible for creating and propagating this uncivil environment under the guise of "freedoms" and "liberties".
I no longer need be concerned of a mutual lovefest as you have returned to baseless rhetoric. The world is round and the earth revolves around the sun.

Where I'm from we don't call the 3rd time a lovefest, we call it a budding relationship. Better watch out!
Leon
June 26, 2007 - 16:39 ET by PeterDLeon, consistency is on the Left. You keep citing Bill Maher. His show airs new, once a week on HBO and is repeated many times during the week. Air America airs seven days a week. Al Franken was on five days a week before he quit. Keith Olbermann is on five nights as week, as is Chris Matthews. Chris Cuomo appears almost five days a week on GMA. Alan Colmes is on five days a week.
Now, let's compare that to Ann being booked very rarely on TV. Ummm, the scale seems slightly tipped to the Left.
In addition the comments made by liberals about conservatives are usually spoken without wit and are often coated in bile. Ann's comments are very clever and sarcastic, made as a way of making fun of liberals.
For example, Bill Maher was sincere in saying he wished Cheney died in a terrorist attack. Ann doesn't want Edwards to die in a terrorist attack. She simply makes a point using the same over the top words that liberals do to point out their absurdity.
No hypocrisy at all.
I'm all for an honest debate. Too bad no one on the Left is.

And I'm sorry, but if Elizabeth Edwards thinks the country simply can't survive without her husband, then she's got grapes for brains. She should tell him to strap on a pair and take care of his family, you know, the family whose mother is DYING, for crying out loud!! But she won't (amateur psychological diagnosis ahead)....probably because she would feel guilty about denying him his "destiny" or something.
Well when he loses, he can go home and try to patch something together for the last few months of his wife's life (if she survives that long). Hopefully it won't be too late.
Sorry if that sounds cruel, but I can't even describe the depth of the disgust I feel for a man who would abandon his family at a time like this, for his own ambition.

This has bothered me from the start. I don't care if I was running for King of the world, if my wife was in the middle of battling cancer, my political career would stop immediately. My wife is worth much more than a political position.
Libs are a strange lot. They tend to care more about everyone else waaay before family. These are not the people that I want in office...EVER!

June 26, 2007 - 18:16 ET by misterbillCT-- this old man is right there with you --My wife had an ectopic pregnancy--I rushed her to the hospital--she was in terrible pain--never saw her like that-my world came to a standstill- I was so frightened that I hadn't a clue what to do.
I could only do one thing--sit there and hold her hand and pray for all Iwas worth for her. There was nothing in the world (except the surgeon) who could keep me from her side.

June 26, 2007 - 18:34 ET by Clear thinkerMr. Bill...
In 2004 I was the head of a large local group of conservatives. We were in the middle of a very important meeting when I got a phone call telling me that a Kidney had come available for my wife. I hung the phone up and told everyone I had to leave immediately. Everyone was stunned because we were in the middle of important business, but as soon as I told them why, they all cheered for me and I left. Did not inquire about the meeting for almost 3 weeks while the wife was in the hospital. Some things in life are just more important than self promotion, and my wife is at the top of my list!

He's having a manicure.
It's funny, this morning I was thinking about him running for President while his wife is terminally ill. He's a sick, sick puppy....chasing his own ambitions while his wife and soul-mate is terminal. That is all anyone needs to know about this (so-called) man.

Hi Ct...I feel SHE wants this
June 26, 2007 - 18:44 ET by bigtimerHi Ct...
I feel SHE wants this more than he does...she has and still does make many of the decisions politically as far as I am concerned....
....don't fool yourselves is all I am going to say....
I have watched numerous interviews with them together and apart from the first time he ran....up until today.
I do feel it should be him making some of the decisions but hey... look at Bill and Hill.
LOL....don't you just love liberal marriages with the NOW gals.

Do not worry she has already been asked...and mulled it over, either the House or Senate....
Think she makes more money on her own and has a lot more fun .

June 26, 2007 - 16:38 ET by BobAnthonyThe only reason Chris Cuomo is where he is--BECAUSE OF HIS OLD MAN'S COATTAILS--IL DUCE CUOMO! Talk about sins of the father! And yes I am VERY jealous of the corporate media hiring these commies instead of people like me who believe in truth, justice and the American Way.
And by the way il ducecito--Y'ALL GOT PWNED to coin a phrase! Same goes for that Tip O'Neill lapdog Matthews!I strongly agree with about h
June 26, 2007 - 16:45 ET by Captain RepusI strongly agree with about half of Ann's answers; the ones she is allowed to answer. I strongly disagree with the other half of Ann's answers, you know, the ones that are given by Matthews.
I'm going to put the shoe on
June 26, 2007 - 17:10 ET by fenderteleI'm going to put the shoe on the other foot:
Mann Coulter said:
I wish Rudy Giuliani would get killed in a terrorist attack.
Mitt Romney is a fag, look at his hair.
And her comment about John Edwards dead son was beyond the pale.
This is the person that all of you admire?! You people are SICK!
Ann
June 26, 2007 - 17:18 ET by Captain RepusIt sounds like you think Ann Coulter is a liar, a loser, worse than Hitler, a traitor, a draft dodger, a baby killer, incompetent, stupid, a terrorist, etc. Oops, maybe I have my smear recipients mixed up.
Who is Mann Coulter? Is that

One of the most misquoted lyrics in history.
Of course, the worst is "Louie, Louie," which, if you recall, was believed to be nothing less than obscene when it first came out. As you likely know, nothing could be further from the truth.
On the other hand, one of my favorite lyric misquotes came from someone I met in college who believed that the big Steve Miller hit was "Fly Like a Negro." I kid you not. :-) ns

Sorry to step on your toes. Didn't see you'd posted the Hendrix mis-lyric already.
Blame Noel, as my eyes were too filled with laughter tears due to his "Fly Like A Negro" mis-lyric.

I 'm sorry, I know you weren't talking to me but I just saw this and had to tell you I am laughing out loud so hard when I read that about fly Like A Negro...and you say I kid you not....
I have to ask....are you really really serious?
How could anybody get that so wrong..it was and is one of my favorite tunes....I can't see not understanding the words....
ROFL......too danged funny.

June 26, 2007 - 18:11 ET by Noel SheppardBT,
I'm 100 percent serious. However, this was NOT a very bright guy. :-)
What was interesting was when I told him what the real lyric was, he debated me. When I asked him what his lyric meant, he didn't have an answer, but stood by his position. ns

Rip-roaring laughter.....I can't stop laughing the way you just told this...
My gawd you are a great communicator.
Thanks....made my early evening....nothing like laughter.
