Ann Coulter, like most right wing pundits, has made a fortune off of her exploitation of right wing hate. She's The Human Stain personified, and her fans are even worse. I cannot believe she gets airtime.
Ann's defense of the death panel: that doctors have a financial incentive to wack grandma. I still don't get it. I thought the provision paid doctors for end-of-life consultations. No decisions are actually made then, just consideration and information about the various options. Doctors would still get paid if the family chose to keep grandma alive at all costs. Note to Joy - please learn the art of the follow up question.
@newsnun: Yes, as usual The World According to Coulter is an oversimplified pile of crap. It's part of a physician's duty to provide discussions with a patient--whether they are terminally ill or not--about their assessment and possible plans of action. When a patient is not coherent, alert, awake and able to make decisions for themselves, a durable power of attorney or family member would receive the facts in the case. With no such person present and no "do not resuscitate" order (enacted by the patient and the patient ALONE) available, a physician is obligated to do everything in their power to save the life of the patient, keep them comfortable, etc., etc.
Yo, Coulter? We can smell your fetid-breathed retorts over the internet and those in the know? Know you are completely full of it.
@scarletmenace: PS This was disturbing. Behar validates and humanizes Coulter. Because in the end we're all friends, right? The "left" buries itself by giving these wretched lying bigots a platform.
@scarletmenace: It's not the left so much as the media. At some point we disembarked from thoughtful debate for wingnut shrieking. It's all for ratings. Why be diligent and discerning when you can get two crazies on to yell at each other then sum it up by saying, "Well, both sides have valid points" when neither side is at all reasonable.
@anonymousryan: amen. one side is lying and bought and paid for by corporate interests whose interests are directly opposed to ours. and the right is worse.
I would just like to add that Coulter is the living dead and therefore, does not need health care. This fact also explains why she is devoid of compassion, soul or conscience.
Ann Coulter is further proof of a growing suspicion I've had for years. Namely, that the right wing radio/pundit axis is largely a joke. That Rush and O'Reilly and Coulter and the rest of them are having a gigantic cynical laugh at the expense of: a) their lunatic fan base, and b) the safety and security of this country. I can't for a second buy that these shit-stains believe a word that comes out of their own mouths, and Ann Coulter is the worst and most comical of the lot.
Really Ann Coulter? I can give up movies and *recitals?* to pay for my health insurance? Last time I went to the movies w/ my son it cost $15.00. Insurance = $400.00 a month - thats 26 movies a month, more if you factor in prescriptions ect.
Can I buy a ticket to her world?
@challygirl: Because she's single with no dependents, if Ms. Coulter were to have health insurance, it'd cost her less than what it costs you or me for my family of four.
Not to mention that she runs in urban areas, which would have expensive movies and because she doesn't have any kids, "recitals" would seem expendable.
Of course, Ms Coulter's knowledge might also be limited because she strikes me as someone without insurance. Her income is a lot like getting lottery money and under the current system, gambling to pay cash could be the most cost-effective choice for her.
@ThePantaloon.com: Please stop linking to your web site at the bottom of every comment you make, especially when it has nothing to do with what the post you're commenting on -- the fact that your user name is also your URL should be enough. I'm going to document this warning in the Commenter Administration system. Thanks for your cooperation.
A conspiracy is simply two or more people working together in secret to achieve a common goal.
If anyone thinks that *doesn't* describe the Republicans, and hasn't *always* described the Republicans going back at least to the days of Nixon, then I don't know what word does describe them.
And the only thing that keeps the Democrats from having a "vast left-wing conspiracy" is that they're so inept at working together.
If a vast conspiracy is ever going to take root anywhere, it's going to be in the fertile ground of conservative paranoia. Trying to get liberals to agree on anything is like trying to herd cats.
The relentless drumbeat of whispers and "people say" is something I've been dreading about having a Democratic administration. The open-ended investigation of the Clintons lasted nearly his entire presidency and was nothing more than a politically-motivated game of gotcha. The investigations started with Whitewater, then morphed to failed S&L, a defunct law firm, Vince Foster, travel office, Paula Jones, an ultimately Monica. All along Starr was given endless funding and an open book on the Clinton's personal lives. Six years and $40 million taxpayer dollars later all he had was a blue Gap dress.
When I get depressed about politics, I re-watch Frontline's documentary on Watergate. Watching Nixon actively obstruct justice, tamper with evidence, attempt to fire the special prosecutor (Saturday Night Massacre), pay off CIA-goons with unlimited and unrecorded campaign funds, and have an executive privilege stand-off with the Congress and effectively negate the Constitution really puts bullshit like "the birthers" into perspective.
