Are you ready for Coulter?

...Coulter's research [method - supporting Creationism]: find the most wrong-headed fool around and parrot his ill-informed opinions. This [Coulter's new book] is going to be world-class suckage. This book is going to be a black hole of reason -- reading it is going be like sticking your brain in a Cuisanart. What we're going to find in there is all the lies and nonsense we can expect to hear echoed back at us for the next decade, the dishonest crap that every clueless wingnut bozo is going to absorb instead of real science.

Coulter ... quoted ... Donna Brazile out of context in an attempt to support her claim that "[i]t's extremely valuable for Democrats to be able to campaign in black neighborhoods while talking about the 'white boys' running the Republican Party." Coulter also described Brazile, in the context of Gore's failed presidential bid, as "liberals' idea of a 'competent' black woman."

Coulter on ABC & FOX - opining that Dems have "all become jock-sniffers for war veterans"

Ann Coulter appeared on ABC's Good Morning America on October 5, and on FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes the previous evening, to promote her book How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter, released October 5 by the Crown Publishing Group. During those appearances, Coulter disparaged former Democratic Senator Max Cleland as the Democrats' "designated hysteric"; claimed that Democrats have "all become jock-sniffers for war veterans" and that today's Democrats "certainly wouldn't have fought World War II"; and asserted that all Muslims whom "we haven't killed" should be converted to Christianity.

Starr, the Federalist Society and Collegial Networks

...Coulter attended Cornell University, where she launched the conservative Cornell Review, part of the conservative Collegiate Network funded by Scaife. She trained at the National Journalism Center, run by conservative columnist M. Stanton Evans, whose lectures are sometimes sponsored by the Young America's Foundation. The Center claims no partisan bias but its lecturers and postings are skewed to the right. The center receives funding from the conservative Olin Foundation. While at the University of Michigan law school, Coulter founded the local chapter of the Federalist Society. After the Republicans Congressional takeover in 1994, Coulter joined the staff of [former] Sen. Spencer Abraham, (R-MI), a Federalist Society activist. She then became a legal commentator for MSNBC.

Coulter's book was published by Regnery. Phillips/Eagle, a major owner of Regnery, also publishes Human Events. Coulter went to work for the Scaife-funded Center for Individual Rights, then as a legal affairs writer for Human Events, which had previously run a favorable review of her book. Coulter also played matchmaker, helping Paula Jones find lawyers and suggesting that attorney Jim Moody help Linda Tripp with her legal problems [ More...].

Before an overflow crowd of at least 1000 young right-wing activists, Coulter took her brand of performance art to new heights. Afterwards, I caught up with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist to ask him about Coulter's characterization of Muslims as "ragheads."

Coulter caught cribbing from conservative magazines

A RAW STORY examination found Coulter's work to be at worst plagiarism and at best a cut-and-paste repetition of points authored by conservative religious groups in the early 1990s. These groups sought to de-fund the National Endowment for the Arts, detailing projects paid for by the NEA they dubbed "obscene."

KU KLUX COULTER

Ann Coulter, another conservative philanthropy frankenstein

A spat on the Right reveals a lot

Ann Coulter is a leggy, sassy blonde telebimbo, (and constitutional lawyer) whose career as a TV talking head took off during the Clinton scandals – and, like Clinton, she never really went away. Her column...has been a mainstay of the firebreathing Right...Ms. Coulter is now embroiled in one of those intramural spats on the Right that reveal more about the participants than anyone ever intended, a scrap which underscores the new era of ugliness that now seems to be dawning in wartime America [more...]

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Ann Coulter, who recently imploded in print, is nearly a complete product of the conservative philanthropies, having worked for or received funds from no fewer than six of their funded institutions. She was recently fired from her job as columnist for the National Review Online after she advised that the US conquer Muslim countries and convert them to Christianity.

In college she benefited from funds from the Collegiate Network - funded by Richard Mellon Scaife. She trained at the National Journalism Center, which itself is connected to the Young America's Foundation, and run by the conservative philanthropy funded columnist M. Stanton Evans. She founded a chapter of the Federalist Society at the University of Michigan Law School, and later worked for former Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham, himself deeply involved with the Federalist Society.

Later Coulter worked at the Scaife-funded Center for Individual Rights. Now she's just been picked up by David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture, one of the most prominent recipients of conservative philanthropy money.]

Columnist Ann Coulter Calls for Wiping Out All of South Lebanon

Ann Coulter, in her latest syndicated column, laments that all of South Lebanon hasn't been obliterated.

"Some have argued that Israel's response is disproportionate, which is actually correct: It wasn't nearly strong enough. I know this because there are parts of South Lebanon still standing," Coulter opines in her latest column, posted last night. Already the Israeli air attack has cost at least 300 lives and one in eight Lebanese citizens are now refugees.

In New Column, Ann Coulter Again Slams Murtha and 9/11 Widows

Ann Coulter used her latest Universal Press Syndicate column to repeat some of the controversial language she has used in her new book, on TV appearances, and elsewhere.

"I dedicate this column to John Murtha, the reason soldiers invented fragging," Coulter began the piece, posted late yesterday on her Web site. She had said much the same thing in an online interview last week. A spokeswoman for Universal told E&P at that time that it does not censor columnists and, in any case, the "fragging" comment had not appeared in one of her columns -- until now.

On MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, Republican strategist Mary Matalin joined other Republican strategists and media figures in defending Ann Coulter's attacks on the widows of the 9-11 victims, expressing agreement with Coulter's "larger point." When Imus challenged Matalin to condemn Coulter for her "repugnant attacks," including "calling these women harpies," Matalin refused, saying: "That's completely not her point," and that such remarks are Coulter's "stock in trade." She added that she would not condemn Coulter because "I don't know her" and "I haven't read the book."

Ballot botch: Coulter votes in wrong precinct

...Coulter, who owns a $1.8 million crib on Seabreeze Avenue, should have voted in Precinct 1198. It covers most homes on her street. Instead, records show, she voted in Precinct 1196, at the northern tip of the island.

...Here's the sticky part for The Right's Lady Macbeth: She wrote down an Indian Road address instead of Seabreeze on her voter's registration application. And she signed to certify the information as true.

"She never lived here," said Suzanne Frisbie, owner of the Indian Road home. "I'm Ann's Realtor, and she used this address to forward mail when she moved from New York."

Counter-Coulter

Meet Daniel Borchers, a conservative who says Ann Coulter's antics are beyond the pale

In America’s pop poli-culture, she’s the Mother of All Partisans, thriving on whatever turn of phrase might most piss off the Democrats and/or “liberals” (and sell as many books as possible). For their part, her targets—although they don’t make as much money at it as she does—are all too happy to sink to her depths of crass depravity in response.

Call it the Coulter Cycle, and call it vicious.
