Ann Coulter. Over the top...again.

The Right wonders why there is so much animosity towards them. Gee when Limbaugh and O'Reilly praise this lady, one need not wonder anymore.

This comes from the lady that seriously stated (and Limbaugh agreed!!!!) that what McCarthy did wasn't wrong.

As she is a figurehead mouthpiece for the Right, they must agree with everything she says right?

I mean the Right continually points to our radicals and tell everyone that's what the Dems stand for.....

Coulter Jokes About Poisoning Justice

2 hours, 56 minutes ago

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, speaking at a traditionally black college, joked that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

Coulter had told the Philander Smith College audience Thursday that more conservative justices were needed on the Supreme Court to change the current law on abortion. Stevens is one of the court's most liberal members.

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."

Coulter has made a career of writing and lecturing on her strongly conservative views.

At one point during her address, which was part of a lecture series, some audience members booed when she cut off two questioners. "I'm not going to be lectured to," Coulter told one man in a raised voice.

She drew more boos when she said the crack cocaine problem "has pretty much gone away."

Oh and BTW those on the right, if anyone on this board or in the media had said that about Bush, you'd tear them apart and expect appologies..... I eagerly wait to see you tear apart Ms. Coulter.

She says it's joking, but joking about killing someone is idiotic and shows where your true values are.

And

I can testify it is still very much out there, but it does have competition with Crystal Meth.

To be fair...I've seen many of our more conservative members criticize Ms Coulter for her foibles in the past. Why issue the challenge?

Should the right scream for apologies had those remarks been made against the president? Absolutely. And so should anyone else, for that matter. Should apologies be demanded from Coulter for these remarks? Yes, I would say so.

And, why does the right have to automatically agree with everything she says? That's just silly.

Um...yeah. Never heard of that one, myself.

What media would praise something like that? A college newspaper, maybe?

Direct me to some info here, NCB. If it pans out, then...yes, that's every bit as reprehensible.

Just because a play is called, "I'm Gonna to Kill the President" doesn't mean it is a conspiracy to do the deed. I like to think that satire is still allowed in the US...

Cryptic Comedy "I'm Gonna Kill the President!" to Play Somewhere in NYC, Aug. 17-Sept. 4

By Ernio Hernandez
20 Jul 2004

Assassins may have closed on Broadway, but another show is taking aim at the leader of the free world in the new guerilla comedy "I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense.

Performances begin at 10 PM at an undisclosed Manhattan location, running Aug. 17-Sept. 4 — including the dates of the Republican National Convention.

A press release for the work penned by "Hieronymous BANG" reads like an classified government document with key words crossed out with a black marker. The material reads ""I'm Gonna Kill the President!" A Federal Offense blends Dario Fo, Abbie Hoffman and the Muppets ======= the story of a confused student's revolutionary awakening and ====== submarines ====== return of the buffalo."

The secretive staging also employs detailed instructions to conspiring audience members: "To see the show, go to Manhattan and proceed to the middle of 10th Street, between Avenue A and Avenue B. Our agents will contact you there. You must arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime." The show offers the show's reservation line, with the further warning, "Latecomers will not be shown to the theatre. And make sure you're not followed." The recording also sends a message to the feds: "If you're some kind of law enforcement agent or official, hang up now, there's nothing illegal happening here."

Tickets — "available to Republican delegates (with ID) for free" — are priced at $15. For reservations, call (212) 802-7446.
Granted, the timing (Republican National Convention) was a bit in bad taste, but I don't see a direct threat. Nor do I consider playbill.com to be critical acclaim from the media.

Truthfully...this is the first that I've heard of this. So, it obviously wasn't a Tony Award winner.

C'mon...tell me that you're not going to base any dialogue off of this. Please? This is akin to spitting on a forest fire.

Not to mention the play doesn't specify a particular president
Heck, Fox's hit series 24 killed off a fictitious president.

NCB, Ustwo, you know what Playbill is, right? It’s the program you get at broadway plays and other selected large venues. It’s paid for BY THE PLAY. Just like when you go to your wrasslin’ events, you get a crude sheet describing the wrasslers. The Playbill is the program for the play. What would you expect? “Don’t see our play, it’s bad.”

And you present this as mainstream media praising a dramatic performance in which the president is assassinated? And Ustwo calls it a good find?

That is really pathetic. I’m amazed.

Isn’t this still TFP? Did I wander into freerepublic.com?

Do a search. There are reviews in the village voice and a few other publications. They aren't really glowing reviews and they aren't really bad reviews.

Comparing Coulter to this is like comparing Coulter to some guy mouthing off about how evil Bush is in the lounge at the Student Union.

I'm not sure how suggesting the poisoning of a Supreme Court Justice could be considered a joke. I could see how it might be marginally funny if I was demented or just plain evil, but right now I don't find anything funny about it.
Like that LA Times columnist in the other thread, Coulter can be best handled by simply ignoring her. She thrives off controversy by saying ridiculous things in order to piss liberals and moderates off and get the extreme Republicans to buy her books.

I don't think I'd label the play "satire". It certainly seems to be in poor taste--about as poor as Coulter's "murder the liberal justice" joke. I don't know enough about it to really say. My guess is, a dozen people saw the thing, and it closed quietly without another word. You quoted an ad for it, which I'm sure they appreciate--and you refered to it as "critical acclaim from the media". Far as I can tell, the media didn't label it anything in particular.

Coulter, on the other hand, puts her whole agenda out in front of audiences, the media, and everybody. That entitles her to whatever opinion of her seems most appropriate.

That said, I'd totally do her. But only if I had her in a ball gag first.

Not a week goes by that someone does not mension:

state that Bush is planning to create a terrorist attack to boost polls
state that the government makes up terrorist intelligence to boost polls
state that Bin Laden is being held but no one is told because they want to scare us
state as a fact that Bush knew there were no WMD's in Iraq
...

I could go on. But THIS gets him up there for tin foil award?

umm is there proof that the play even existed and wasn't just a hoax?

In addition there is a big difference between a play saying it is going to kill the president (note: it doesn't say by name, it could be a play staged in the 1800's who know...) and saying "someone should kill soandso" by name. If you can't see the difference then take off your blinders because your are being blinded by partisan bs.

she is just a very low quality human being.

Nothing that she says merits attention.

Politically, I approve of her - because she tries to represent a cause I am opposed to,and brings nothing but contempt and humiliation upon the view she tries to speak for.

As a human being, I of course find her abhorent.

Ann Coulter has never been accused of having good taste, has she? But she said she was just joking, so what's the story here? We all know she hates everyone who doesn't agree with her. (kind of reminds me of the morality thread in GD) To me, she's like a stupid drunk at a bar, mouthing off and embarrassing all her friends until they throw her in a car and drive her home. And like Ustwo and Bill, I'd nail her, too, but I'd nail her in the butt and make it hurt.

"Irresponsible! Oh, smash the judge face in!" -— Bob Francis, Radio 5AA, 26 October 2005


The magistrate whose face Bob wants to smash, has now stepped aside from the case. The station manager of 5AA has broadcast an on air apology, and so has Bob. It was pre-recorded, and Bob called in sick the day it went to air. But it’s unlikely the Court or the magistrate will be mollified by that. Threatening physical violence against a judicial officer is a serious criminal offence, and canvassing views about the guilt of people still before the courts can be contempt.

I'd have to say, as much as Michael Moore has some tendancies for misrepresentation and taking cheap shots.. I dont think you can compare him to someone like Coulter.
