Normally I’d just give you the transcript, but on a cold, slow Friday night I figured you might be looking for something to watch. As always with Coulter, good points are interspersed with … less than good ones:
COULTER: …What I think is interesting about Soros; and Marcos, whatever his name is, of Daily Kos; and Arianna Huffington are, you know, basically the three unofficial spokesmen of the Democratic Party and they all speak in foreign accents of their foreign upbringings. Can’t you wait a few generations? Let your grandkids do the America bashing, you know, not right away. You can barely understand them.
RUSH: Arianna, you need a translator.
COULTER: And George Soros!
RUSH: Yeah, him, too. I’ve never heard the Daily Kos guy speak.
COULTER: Yeah, he was brought up in someplace in Latin America. You can’t understand them. They speak in foreign accents. They represent the Democratic Party.
Eh, cheap shot. Kos doesn’t have an accent; he’s perfectly intelligible. All she’s doing is playing a cruder version of Tom Hanks’s new favorite game. But dive in; 30 minutes of vid awaits.

Because it ceased being an argument when people immediately called me a slew of names fordaring to question these two.

BuddhaPundit,
I think so. I agree with someone’s comment about the 95 yard drive only to fumble at the goal line. My favorite conservative and libertarian pundits rely on their intellect and linguistic talent to drive their point home, rather than drop the bar and use names and generalizations. Trust me, I want to drop them all the time, but I end up hitting backspace and see if I can overcome my adversary, not just with a more salient point, but one using better vocabulary and grammar.
FierceGuppy,
I do agree. I do. It’s a guilty pleasure. But if I go there, I’d rather go all the way, into Savage Country.
I’m not religious though, like AP and Ayn, except I didn’t throw away my Joo identity. I wear it proudly, and I wear it more proudly knowing I’m in the minority amongst my people here in the States, many of whom have the best intentions, but are stuck in the 60’s politically.

I hear you there, very loudly, btu I am still practicing.

Wow. How rude. Did it ever occur to you that there are times when I am unable to respond for mechanical, rest, or personal reasons?

Much as I love Ann, and as much as I loathe Soros’s politics, the whole “collaborated with the Nazis” thing is somewhat exaggerated. He was 13 when the nazis established military control in Hungary, he briefly (for two days) had to deliver deportation orders given to the Jewish Council and then his father was able to arrange for him to go into hiding posing as a non-jew.

A mediocre point by ANN COULTER is almost always much better than one of Allahpundit’s best points

To all of you who responded to my post, I will answer you with a question. As I said earlier, Ann Coulter in her chat with Rush talked about what she refers to in her book as the “imaginary” Republican attack machine. To which Rush replied, “There isn’t one though!!” Coulter: “Yes, that’s the point of the chapter.” Ughh. That’s bolshevik. Those two are so ridiculously corrupt. So here’s the question: Anybody who has been paying attention to politics the last few years is aware that Rush Limbo, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Beck, (and other radio hosts) Drudge, Coulter, et al, they are all part of the Republican Establishment. They make up the right wing propaganda machine. When somebody needs to be taken down the call goes out to Limbo, then he and his henchmen launch countless, hateful crusades against that person. They are the Republican Establishment; controlled by the multi-billion dollar corporations that control this country! Now, Ann Coulter dedicates a chapter of her new book to the so-called “imaginary” Republican attack machine, and promotes it on her buddy Rush Limbo’s radio program, lol, and you guys don’t say a word about how ludicrous this is! WHY!? THAT IS THE QUESTION. These “conservative” talking heads are traitors and frauds who cannot be trusted. And if any of you think I’m being hard on the right, the Democrats are worse than the Republicans! The liberals are WORSE!! And I think we have a choice between two very bad political parties.

Michael Savage is NOT a member of that group. He is not a part of the GOP and can’t stand Hannity, Levin, Limbaugh and other lame ass radio hosts.
And they are very lame compared to Savage. He has even gone as far to work to start a THIRD PARTY that he has referred to as the Nationalist Party which has as its core values BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE.
So, don’t even think of lumping in a genius like Savage with these lame brains who do their own GOP talking points water carrying shows.
TheMightyQuinn on January 18, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Sure they do, apocalyps.
Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingraham and the rest of the gang all travel and live together and have their own secret lingo, just like rock bands do. Like the Beatles in Help!
el gordo on January 18, 2009 at 10:53 AM
Seriously, Savage is an embarrassment.
Mark R. Levin however … the R stands for “Rocks”.
el gordo on January 18, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Ditto what gordo said…
Savage can’t hold a candle to Levin.
RedbonePro on January 18, 2009 at 12:06 PM
They might as well. Would greatly reduce their communications costs and risks.
apacalyps on January 18, 2009 at 12:47 PM
apocalys, very witty. Just like “corporations control the country”. Never heard that one before. No, politicans run the country. That is quite bad enough. You have a point though: when politicians collude with corporations (and law firms) to distort markets and to screw consumers, that is really bad. It usually happens in the name of safety, compassion and the environment. That is why we need market-based healthcare, NO green energy schemes and to leave the car industry alone, among other things. Corporatism is the antithesis of conservatism. Democrats love it, though.
Which is exactly what your average conservative radio host is saying. If these radio hosts are part of the GOP establishment why do they spend so much time attacking the establishment? I guess you never heard that.
el gordo on January 18, 2009 at 1:16 PM
I haven’t been missing anything…Rush rarely has guests.
Arianna has enough accent for space man Kos; Ann does exaggerate once in a while for effect, big whoop.
Christine on January 18, 2009 at 6:36 PM
This is only one example of what I’m talking about. I think you would agree that who gets elected to political office is determined by the information available to voters. Well, who controls American Media? The corporations or the politicians? Answer: A handful of giant corporations control American Media. The information we are fed on a daily basis is being controlled by persons whom we do not know. They decide what America sees, hears, and reads. A threat to our freedoms and quality of life. Think about it.
apacalyps on January 19, 2009 at 1:58 AM
Did you read the rest of my post?
Who controls the media? A bunch of liberals, that´s who. They decided in 2000 that the Bush presidency would fail and they decided that the Obama presidency will be a success no matter what happens. Which big corporations were behind that? No, what matters is their ideology, culture, their self-image, sense of status, herd mentality. They are pushing big government by inventing one crisis after the other. Panic is good for journalists and politicians. Politicans start making politicized business decisions and picking winners. That is how they end up in bed with big corporations: by tampering with free markets. That´s how you get subsidized windmills and ethanol but no drilling or nuclear power plants. It´s a racket, but it´s a liberal political racket.
el gordo on January 19, 2009 at 3:56 AM
Before you said, “politicans run the country.” Now you’re saying it’s “a bunch of liberals”. Hmm. Look, uh, there is no doubt that liberalism is pushing us to be tolerant of all sorts of immoral behavior and the press is deliberately trying to help Democrats and it’s wrong. I agree. But, there are a handful of corporations who have a monopoly on all the information American citizens hear, see, and watch, and whether or not they are “liberal” was not the original point I was making, nor was it what you originally objected too either. As I pointed out before, who gets elected to political office is determined by the information available to voters. If the corporate media heads don’t like your politics you get less coverage or ignored completely. But, it’s deeper and more complicated than just involvement from the media. The Democrats and Republicans have become beholden to rich individuals, large corporations or powerful interest groups, through large campaign contributions. And there are other things we could get into like the big oil companies and there influence on our the direction of our culture. Like I said, “corporations largely control the country”. Rich individuals who own large corporations — not the politicians — not the ones in office now anyways. That’s why so many American people sense something is wrong. Americans know that we’re going in the wrong direction.

This is way late, but for the record, Markos Moulitsas did grow up in El Salvador before moving to the US in 1980, hence “Latin America” reference.
