You guys who are offended by Ann’s “B. Hussein Obama” remark are too precious. She’s showing both him and Islam the respect they deserve. If you think it’s an immature or superficial dismissal of the man, take the time to consider that in the real world, an Arabic or Muslim name does carry a lot of percieved negative baggage in the Western mind. And for good reason. This candidate is all image and very little substance. Perception is everything with him. A muslim name might be an unfair disqualifier to a candidate actually equipped to do the job, but this guy? Please. If Central Casting overlooked the unfortunate name, why should our side wine over the fact that people are pointing it out?

funky chicken,
From the surface, it seems that the Wicker of Mississippi requests may yet be related to Katrina recovery, whereas Murtha’s pork has no probable rationale other than prima dona political favoritism. That McCain did not request earmark pork is good news to inquiring conservative voters.
maverick muse on February 14, 2008 at 9:58 AM
madison conservative,
Did you catch the Obama familial references at Gateway Pundit?
maverick muse on February 14, 2008 at 9:59 AM
Remember Coulter’s idiotic “McCain and Obama are the same” crap next time she starts screaming about how pro-life she is too.
McCain gets a 0.0 score from Planned Parenthood. Obama gets a straight A.
Yeah, no difference at all, right?
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Wyrd:
Yep, which is why I try to make people who screech that McCain is not better than Obama think about the troops in the field. It’s all academic and cute and funny if you don’t have a loved one in the sandbox, but for those of us who do, the idea that the American people would betray them by placing Obama in command is sickening.
They go off to war to protect us from external enemies. It’s our job as citizens to protect them from internal enemies, like the socialist comrades of Senator Obama.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 10:06 AM
That Ann knows how to make her point in the most extraordinary fashion is her trademark bluff that coexists with her feminine priviledge to change her public stance like a change in wardrobe in order to sway others to vote her mind with eventual constancy. Convoluted, yes; but she has her cake and eats it, too. Perhaps like Marie Antoinette if she goes overboard.
maverick muse on February 14, 2008 at 10:08 AM
Who cares what Coulter says. I wish Fox would stop having her on, she has no credibility.
Here’s an ode to Ann:
A Writer Named Ann
There once was a writer named Ann,
Who made millions off this great land.
She wrote about libs, exposing their fibs,
We believed her and gave her a hand.
She now says she supports Hillary C.
Who is an avowed Socialisti.
I think, Ann, you should quickly go
And read the Commie Manifesto.
There you will find the Hillary kind
Of ideals she will impose and I mean presto!
You say you are a Christian which means Christ-like,
But your ego and greed just don’t fit right.
Just face it. We’ve been had,
But don’t feel too bad.
Start having some fun by giving her the shun.
Start burning her books and list her among crooks,
Who made you believe but all the while
Had her eyes on your wallets and checkbooks.
Conservatives R Us on February 14, 2008 at 10:11 AM
Hey, if the “Obama is a Muslim” meme doesn’t work, here’s a new tactic.
SouthernDem on February 14, 2008 at 10:11 AM
Where’s Zetterson and Misha to tell me that McCain’s 20 year pro-life and anti-pork voting record is just what the Viet Cong/Chinese/Soviets (?) told him to do so he could be their Manchurian Candidate?
Anybody who helps Obama win this election should no longer be believed if they say they care deeply about things like abortion, the welfare of the troops, out of control government spending, keeping hard-core leftists off the SCOTUS, and now, apparently, keeping the government from deciding which companies are “patriotic” enough to stop resisting unionization.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 10:20 AM
It’s the lesser of 2 evils, Obama or Mccain. I would say McCain was the lesser.
Then again, maybe we should vote for the greater evil… Chthuulu for President 08!
Wyrd on February 14, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Oh thank god for that. I’ll remember how great McCain is on abortion while he’s making 12 million illegal aliens legal, raising taxes, banning gun shows, and furthering CFR so that no one can ever criticize him again.
Will make me all tingly.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 10:29 AM
I guess with Hillary effectively out of the running, the racists and bigots have nowhere to turn.
myamphibian on February 14, 2008 at 10:37 AM
MadCon, you have a choice. You can choose between 50% bad and 100% bad. Those are the only two choices you have.
If you reject 50% bad you will almost certainly be stuck with 100% bad.
That really should be a no-brainer. And McCain isn’t going to ban gun shows.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 10:48 AM
Don’t be so sure.
emailnuevo on February 14, 2008 at 11:00 AM
I love Ann-right now, with politics all a mess, it’s hard to determine where my allegiance will lie in Nov: vote McCain? Not vote at all? Vote Obama? Hillary? Write in Ronald Reagan?
I get Ann’s point, and understand that this is a new situation: vote against rather than for someone. It stinks.
Doug on February 14, 2008 at 11:06 AM
More like 85% bad and 100% bad. Republicans will fight the 100%, and go along with the 85%. I’d rather have a fought awful president than a pandered-to pretty bad president.
You couldn’t be more wrong.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 11:10 AM
MadCon are you Oprah or Phil Donohue? All that feelings talk has me a little suspicious.
OK, say McCain proposes to ban gun shows. It ain’t gonna be high on any GOPer’s list of “to do” but, fine, I’ll stipulate the point.
Conservative republicans mount a resistance. They are in the minority in both houses of congress, so they will need conservative/moderate democrat support to stop whatever hairbrained thing gets proposed.
If the hairbrained proposal comes from democrat Obama, will the democrat leadership allow members to join conservative republicans to block the proposal?
If the hairbrained proposal comes from republican McCain, will the democrat leadership allow members to join conservative republicans to block the proposal?
Conservative republicans aren’t going to roll over for stupid liberal proposals from any POTUS, GOP or democrat. The important thing will be how many of the majority (and it will be democrat) folks they can get to join the resistance.
Why do you think Sessions won’t stand up and oppose something liberal if McCain proposes it? You are accusing conservatives of being lapdogs, which I don’t see as true.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 11:17 AM
The choice you will have to make: are your gun rights safer with McCain in the White House or Obama?
Those are the only two candidates left. I’m not thrilled with McCain, not by a long shot, but surely you don’t think you have a better shot of preserving your rights under Obama?
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 11:22 AM
You’re done. I am tired of all the McCain acolytes who try to win arguments by claiming their opponents are leftie plants, leftie celebrities, or spies from DU or HuffPo. Kindly take a long walk off a short unfinished bridge.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 11:28 AM
The conservative republicans feel more affection for Bush than for McCain, correct? Yet they stand up and fight against Bush when he tries to foist stupid stuff upon us (Harriet Miers, amnesty).
Why the certainty that they wouldn’t fight even harder against McCain, who they don’t exactly love?
Their entire effectiveness has been based on getting democrats like Jim Marshall (house, GA) and Claire McCaskill (senate, MO) to vote with them.
If it’s a dem POTUS, those votes will be exponentially harder to get.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 11:28 AM
Hmmmm. Get outraged by my joke, and you don’t have to think about anything substantive I discussed.
Hmmmmm.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 11:30 AM
GET HIM!
Heh. Wonder what that guy’s HotAir handle is.
John from WuzzaDem on February 14, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Media whore.
Can we just ignore this troll already (Annie C. that is)?
omnipotent on February 14, 2008 at 11:45 AM
O’reilly had it right when he said “some people think if you disagree with them, you are being disapproving”. I have never seen so much spin coming from conservatives that I normally agree with. Maybe i’m just not cut out for primary politics. I just hope we’re not cutting off our collective noses to spite our faces.
myamphibian on February 14, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Last I checked, asking if someone is Oprah or Donahue doesn’t fall under disagreement. It falls under trolling. If you don’t see that, then I’ll be sure to avoid responding to you as well.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 11:51 AM
But Ann Coulter is hilarious.
Yeah.
Nice to let the whole feelings of outrage thing save you from thinking rationally about your vote.
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Outrage at posters’ inability to carry on a civil discussion? Yep.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 11:58 AM
Er, you were saying? LOL
funky chicken on February 14, 2008 at 12:06 PM
I really don’t know. When you bring up a quote from a month ago, you pretty much show you have very little interest in discussing the issue. But then, I should have figured that out when you started off with a facetious question implying liberal leaning.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 12:09 PM
I think I will throw this into every McCain related thread:
I. Will. Not. Vote. For. John. McCain.
He thinks profits are evil.
He has lived off the public dollar his entire life.
He plays class warfare while living a privileged life.
He ignores our country’s sovereignty and laws to pander for the Hispanic vote.
He is a Liberal.
He is bad for conservativism.
He throws Gary Coleman temper tantrums.
Montana on February 14, 2008 at 12:21 PM
HAH. You just made me laugh. Golden.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 12:25 PM
When she isn’t trying to mess with your head, she’s pretty darn accurate in her assessments and funny in her lampoons.
I don’t always agree, but I love Ann. She’s like the stone that sharpens the blade. We would be lost without her.
Christine on February 14, 2008 at 12:25 PM
Isn’t she just saying, “Be Hussien, Obama”
EJDolbow on February 14, 2008 at 12:47 PM
I apologize. If I had known you thought funky was being serious when he asked you if you were Oprah, I would have specifically excluded that comment from my post.
myamphibian on February 14, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Old Marine saying, no such thing as an ex-marine. Old saying in Islam, no such thing as an ex-muslim. OMG a HUSSIEN in the white house.
pueblo1032 on February 14, 2008 at 1:20 PM
I feel sorry for Ann’s parents. Having your daughter grow up to be sinister pig has to be embarassing and heartbreaking.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 14, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Only if invited by President McCain. Of course, Mac will probably get bashed for inviting any democrat to the WhiteHouse, but IMO, you should take that up with the Illinois voters that put Obama in the Senate in the first place.
myamphibian on February 14, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Ann is hilarious and has more courage than most men. But she is wrong about McCain… I actually believe he would bomb Mecca…which is, of course, exactly the right thing to do… and as soon as possible and preferrably when the Saudi royal family it there.
georgealbert on February 14, 2008 at 2:02 PM
I stand corrected.
peacenprosperity on February 14, 2008 at 2:21 PM
Happy Valentine’s Day MadisonConservative!
Limp-wristed unprincipaled conservatives who would vote for someone they disagree with idealogically more than 70% of the time; will sing his praises and vote for him willingly, while he pens liberal legislation they hate and would eagerly sign these same laws as a GOP president thus condemning the GOP to be accused of being the “cause” of this horrible legislation that destroys are economy and takes away many freedoms, saying that Ann Coulter is a Shrew is really rich. If only these same men would stand up and speak as vehemently about Democrats who say such things as “Bush lied people died”, et al as they do their own politicans when they have enough balls and courage to stand up where they will not, things would be a lot simpler in the world.
I’m SO glad El Rushbo isn’t limp-wristed. At least there’s a man out there worthy of my ear. Except of course, MadCon…

You do me too much honor, m’lady. ‘Tis more than evident, though, that you have more balls than many here.

They did that to their own. We won the Cold War. This outcome doesn’t look to good.

Oh, and I do beg your pardon…
Happy Valentine’s to you as well!

That’s the best compliment I’ve gotten this fine Valentine’s Day! Mine are prettier than Hillary’s and Ann’s too!

Long live Jonny Mac!
Pax americana on February 14, 2008 at 4:58 PM
I didn’t read any of the posts. Why? Because, I already know what they say. “Ann makes us look bad” “Ann is only worried about selling books” “Ann ruins the good work we do as Republicans always being nice”
Its all a crock. I love Ann. She realizes that conservatism is fighting for its life and she stands on the front lines locked and loaded. Her comments don’t hurt the cause of conservatism in the least. If you think so, then you don’t know what “conservatism” is.
Take a minute and rethink who you are attacking and why.
RobertCSampson on February 14, 2008 at 7:09 PM
Sorry, I have to throw a flag on using “Swiftboat” as a verb to imply a dishonest smear attack. The charges made by the Swiftboat veterans were not dishonest, were never discredited, and the real smear attacks were launched against them, not by them.
When you use “swiftboat” like this, you validate John Kerry’s delusions that the election was somehow “stolen” from him by dirty politics. And that’s just dead wrong.
theregoestheneighborhood on February 14, 2008 at 8:27 PM
Ok then – if you want TO SMEAR someone – find a more formible topic, or at least an honest one, please.
AprilOrit on February 14, 2008 at 9:10 PM
OMG – she is at it again. On H & C, calling Mike Huckabee Huckleberry, talking about supporting Hillary, about maybe voting for Obama. John McCain’s involvement with George Soros….
Good God – she is a nut, pure and simple.
AprilOrit on February 14, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Could you possibly cry any more for the most liberal candidates in the election? Christ…
Oh, you mean the one covered on this site?
Guess you’re at a site full of nuts, hosted by nuts. Maybe you’d be better off where they’re nice to people like B. Hussein Obama…OOPS…I mean a site where they don’t mention what his middle name is because saying a person’s name is a smear attack.
MadisonConservative on February 14, 2008 at 9:59 PM
I was reading up on WWI political history. Germany was looking for ways to insight riots and revolutions in enemy nations. One such person the Germans assisted in such a task was helping Lenin foment the Bolshevik revolution. This is just one example of many similar situations throughout history.
So, no, it is not beyond comprehension that a nation would turn its back on its armies in the field.
Now… Lenin got Russia out of WWI. Okay, cool. But then what happened? The power vacuum left the Communists in power leading to the tyranny of Stalin, the most despicable leader in the history of the Russian peoples.
Here is what scares me:
- Lenin was a socialist.
- Obama is a socialist.
- Clinton is a socialist/Marxist.
- McCain’s policies are not that much different from Hillary’s.
Obama and Clinton are both saying today almost exactly what Lenin telling the Russians during WWI with regard to getting us our of war, which is that winning a protracted war is worse that losing in the short term.
Only one difference between Lenin and Obama/Clinton. The Germans fighting Russia wanted to stop also, and when the fighting ended the Germans redeployed to their Eastern front. The Islamofascists fighting us have no intention of quitting, regardless if we fight them or not.
The only one of these people offering an inkling of real national defense rhetoric is McCain.
Lawrence on February 14, 2008 at 10:08 PM
*cough, joke, sputter* Go McCain!
Mojave Mark on February 14, 2008 at 11:52 PM
I think Ann Coulter is the right’s Al Sharpton. They both say outrageous things that we listen to despite ourselves and have an iron shell of confidence that no amount of shame or embarrassment can crack. And they make us laugh. I have never agreed with a single word out of Sharpton’s mouth but darn if I don’t stop channel surfing when I see him talking just to check out what craziness he is up to. Face it, they are both just interesting, even if it is in a train-wreck kind of way for some people.
Having said that, I think Ann often offers much more substantive and telling points than Sharpton’s demagoguery. She does get us talking and makes us think. Despite her recent comments, however, I seriously doubt she would ever vote for Hillary. She is just trying to make sure we keep McCain’s feet to the fire. ———Arrgh! I can’t get spaces between my paragraphs no matter what I try.
inmypajamas on February 15, 2008 at 12:37 AM
Hmm, I guess PI-not-MF.
inmypajamas on February 15, 2008 at 12:39 AM
I don’t think she really believes what she’s saying. She seems to be driven by emotion rather than logic. Oddly, that’s a liberal tendency.

I love Ann. She realizes that conservatism is fighting for its life and she stands on the front lines locked and loaded.
Really? Anne is the standard bearer for the Conservative movement? Good lord, if that is the case then I think I better find a movement that isn’t being led by and absolute loon.
Her comments don’t hurt the cause of conservatism in the least. If you think so, then you don’t know what “conservatism” is.
Depends on what kind of conservative you are, I suppose. Seems to me she’s more of a capitalist and not so much a conservative.
Take a minute and rethink who you are attacking and why.
RobertCSampson
People are attacking a shrill woman that makes incredibly stupid statements at the least opportune times. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if she wasn’t considered some kind of conservative standard bearer.
Mikey Moore? Anne Coulter! Anne Coulter? Mikey Moore. Now that you two have met, why don’t you go exploit some people? You have so much in common.
Krydor on February 17, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Do not confuse conservatives with Republicans. McCain has established there is a difference
Not correct
‘It’ ?
The greatest internal enemy of America are the persons who have opened the borders to mass infiltration.
The second greatest internal enemies of America are those who seek to limit free speech, especially at election time
Madison I agree the game is tedious. It makes me remember a great mil blog gnat attacked by persona describing mil strategem learned ‘in the sandbox’. When they started a routine about how we don’t realize that guns can kill I had to save my neurons from underload
I miss the free ranging discussions on HotAir between conservatives, but understand, it is important to the buzzards to take down this chat which has had a lot of influence in working out conservative issues
Since the conservative viewpoint is an impediment to their goals the buzzing will continue
Or, they left the cage unlocked at Kos
The Soros involvement is documented by Michelled Malkin as true, not false. Michelle is a great American
Coulter is a debater who slings humor coated facts, not, thank God, a nut pure and simple.
I thank God for the persons of intelligence and integrity willing to enter this dirty debate. Coulter will take a lot of abuse right up to election day because they need some scapegoats to take the heat off of McCain
I am surprised they sent in the sandbox warriors so early. Cornering a primary with vote leeches does not mean you control the conservative electorate. It is too soon to assume the enemy is dead.
Meanwhile Madison, keep posting. People can read between the lines.
