Coulter Column Headline: 'They Shot the Wrong Lincoln' (Chafee)

[RamboLiberal]

http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003085803

Ann Coulter periodically "jokes" about the deaths of certain liberals and other enemies but this week the killing reference appears right in the headline of her column.

The head is "They Shot the Wrong Lincoln," and the column -- posted today on Coulter's Web site -- refers to U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, now in a tough Republican primary fight in Rhode Island.

Conservative Coulter blasting a Republican? Actually, Chafee is one of the more liberal members of the GOP, which moved Coulter to frequently insult his intelligence in her Thursday piece.

The Universal Press Syndicate columnist wrote that Chafee is a "half-wit" who "made his living shoeing horses for seven years. In fact, I've often wondered if an errant kick to the head by one of his charges would account for Chafee's rudimentary cognitive abilities."

1. i suppose the RW doesn't have the stomach...

...to eat their own, but prefers to shoot them instead. Who's next, one wonders? McCain? Hagel?

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Hey, she's just kidding.

She'll have to say that tomorrow when a couple of local newspapers whose editors still have a sense of propriety and decency drop her column like a lead weight.

[Tellurian]

8. What about the new movie, The Assassination Of Prez Bush

watched just a short clip and the actor playing Bush is his "twin"
very realistic and somewhat disconcerting. I understand the film's
release may be banned in the US.

Oh, regarding Chafee. If Coulter doesn't like him; he's a sure thing in the election.
His opposition is an egotistical blowhard. Not a snowball's chance in hell replacing Chafee!

[Toots]

36. Are you saying the Democrat is an egotistical blowhard

I suspect even Chafee will suffer from voter rebellion. I predict a Democratic win there as well as most everywhere else..

[Tellurian]

38. Yes,I am...He's a disgrace to the Party..

The consensus is He's very well disliked within the state.

No doubt Dems stand the best chance they've had in a very long time for a takeover in all political sectors.

But Laffey isn't the best representative of Demo values. His political leanings mimic conservative think.

Chafee's family, although Republican, have built up much political capital within the state.

Linc is a great guy...something Ann Coulter should aspire to be!

[Chemical Bill]

42. Hello...

Laffey is running against Chafee in the repug primary. Democratic primary is contested as well.

Bill

[Tellurian]

67. I knew that, CB

you wonder sometimes if anyone actually reads or cares about what you post.
well, except for the Right Wing flamers, that is..

Have a great weekend!

[kdpeters]

74. If God wanted to speak through a Bush, wouldn't He set it on fire?

I wonder if the president is as eager to receive His message as I am.

[warrens]

37. Just like I'm kidding when I say

I'd like to see all two ounces of her brain splattered on a wall.

[Raster]

59. You know, someone needs to stitch that bitch's lips shut. I am soooooooo

over coulter. It seems her only purpose in life is to spew her bile and vitriol.

[Sherman A1]

2. Gosh, Ann is at it again

she is so much the shrill - shill for her readers, but that is up to them to read or support her. One thought on her comments about Chafee shoeing horses - didn't a certain FEMA Director of the recent past have something to do with horses as well? Hmmmm......

[Tellurian]

40. Oh, You mean FEMA's Brown, the Show Judge..

He's been looking at horse's asses for so long; he's become one!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. but bill maher considers her as "having something intelligent to say"

and worthy of continuous booking-yet he says randi doesn't and won't let her on the show

[mitchum]

16. That's because Maher and Coulter are COKE buddies

[Barrett808]

50. Hadn't heard that. Got a link handy?

That would be interesting, if true.

[Guaranteed]

4. Are we allowed to say, "I wish someone would kill Ann Coulter"

on DU?

It doesn't look as if it's against the law to wish a horrible death on someone, considering that this is, what, the tenth time she's done it.

Oh- and leave it to Ann to denigrate someone for making an honest living for seven years.

[RamboLiberal]

10. Yeah Coulter sure doesn't make an honest living

Coulter wouldn't last 5 minutes as a farrier. I've always admired the skill of a good farrier. I think it's a great way to make a living and how nice he wasn't a wastrel like most Repuke kids.

[sipsake]

28. I wonder

which farrier Ann "horseface" Coulter uses?

[Vogon_Glory]

75. My Wish For The Coulter Creature

My wish for the Coulter creature is that she gets a vision from the Almighty, moves to the Far East, shaves her head, then becomes a Buddhist Nun in a monastery where they follow strict vows of silence.

[agio]

76. why would you want her dead?

she does more to make the GOP look bad than any celebrity I know.

without throwing around the gender slurs. :eyes:

[Cha]

7. Yeah, and tom de-lay made his

living killing bugs and then he became one of the bugs..what's her point?

[Auntie Bush]

77. And Frist used to kill and mutilate cats for experiments.

The Rethugs don't mind that but they mind killing a speck of life/embryo.

Also, The Rethugs don't mind a president that inserts frogs rectums with firecrackers and thinks it's funny.

Also that damnable preacher Dobson is respected/adored/worshiped for nearly killing and bulling his little Dachshund with a belt buckle. How brave is he?

Almost seems like you have to have killer instincts to be a rethugican.
That's why they love war so much.

[KAZ]

9. I would celebrate Coulter's assassination.

Let's see what the mods do with that.

If you all think this is a game, read the cunt's work, and understand, they'll come after you with both barrels blazing.

[RamboLiberal]

12. I always thought that Olsen "reaped what she sowed"

I must admit that I didn't mourn her - and wished a certain skanky blonde had been her seatmate that day.

I'll probably burn in hell for that one. So be it.

[KAZ]

15. I hate to admit it, but I still remember sitting...

on the couch at 2 p.m. on 9/11 (my employer wouldn't let us go, but I said F this and left) and cheering when it hit the news. My wife gave me look that would kill, and I felt horrible about it at the time, but now, my right fist is still punching the air, especially when I see that POS DeGenova on the air.

[last1standing]

24. Its funny that the freepers will probably use this subthread....

as proof that we Dems are cruel and hate filled while they ignore the fact that we're just using the same rhetoric as their heroine. Or would that be heroin in her case?

[NoodleyAppendage]

54. F'em. This is war and it's time for liberals to kick some ass.

Nothing short of the fate of our nation rests in our ability to DESTROY the Repuke/corporate media machine and message. I'm ready to fight and fight hard against the wave of Repuke bullshit.

J

[mitchum]

17. And I would be celebrating right along with you

[sofa king]

49. I would not.

Because I don't ever want to pity or feel empathy for that wretched poltroon.

Unfortunately, if the universe dealt her a just reward, it would be so unfair and terrible that I couldn't possibly feel good about that, either.

[kdpeters]

72. If you even care, you give her more than she's worthy

Seriously. It's Ann Coulter. Why would you celebrate her assassination? Why would you even care?

Read her work? I'd rather slide down a cheese grater. I know what she has to say. Same thing she said last week, same thing she'll say next week. She's a one note, one trick, one clown circus. As long as someone gets seltzer in the face, there's plenty of suckers willing to pay. Love her or love to hate her, I don't see the big deal. She's annoying, boring, and predictable. The poor dear justs wants a hug; she just doesn't know how to ask for it.

[AwareOne]

11. If Ann Coulter ever had a baby,

I'm sure it would be the antichrist.

[Tellurian]

14. The pregnancy itself would be child abuse! n/t

[Hoosier Dem]

29. Uh, Guys, you can't pass a baby through a penis!

Sorry, but while the idea of Mann Coulter having sex to begin with is scary, her trying to pass an infant something out of her penis would make me puke.

[anitar1]

62. Too old to conceive, thank God !! n/t

[phrenzy]

13. The Aristocrats!

I think that Coulter's life is one long 'Aristocrats' routine.

[ShockediSay]

18. permanent PMS for brains nt

[DinahMoeHum]

19. Ann Coulter = "horse-faced intellectual sl**"

:evilfrown:

[OregonDem]

20. Ann the anorexic transvestite who dresses like a hooker is always

trying to get attention by saying something outrageous; its all "Look at me! Look at me!" She sure does have a lot of vile crap coming out of her mouth and not just when her finger is down her throat.

[dflprincess]

21. Isn't it illegal to threaten elected officials?

And couldn't this be construed as a threat as it might encourage one of her nut case fans to take action?

[NeoConsSuck]

65. It is only illegal

if you are sitting in an Oregon bar and make a reference to a 'burning bush'. Then you'll get three years in prison. Wrap your brain around that one.

But if you are a right wing puke, you get a free pass to threaten progressives.

[mac56]

22. Why, oh why, oh why do we continue to pay attention to her?

She's crazy. Certifiably so. She's actually to be pitied, if you have the stomach for it. She's like the slow-witted, easily-manipulated, desperate-to-be-noticed poor-impulse-control loser that hung around the fringes at many junior high schools. Willing to debase and humiliate themselves if it'll get them a little attention.

"Here, Ann...eat this bug."

[sweetpotato]

35. I agree

She is that bug-eating kid.

What I want to know is how can we ignore her when she is STILL speaking on college campuses.

[oldcoot]

53. We have no choice

We really cannot afford to ignore her because she apparently sells a lot of books and many news shows insist on inviting her on to speak. Clearly she has some influence. We should hit back and hit back hard.

We should also link the Republican Party with her comments. Here is a woman who regularly suggests killing people who disagree with her. What makes her different from those Islamic terrorists that she and the Republicans allegedly despise?

Her comments about horse shoeing also show complete contempt for working class people. She obviously has no respect for people who work hard to make a living. Unless the Republicans come out and condemn for these comments, it is clear that they share the same views. The next time they complain about "limousine liberals" we should throw her comments in their face.

[kdpeters]

73. We do have a choice

We really cannot afford to ignore her ... We should hit back and hit back hard.

You're correct that naughty behavior can't be ignored, but hitting back simply reinforces her behavior. Send her to the naughty chair if she can't behave. Did you see how Kirsten Powers gave her an opportunity, then a warning, and finally left her in the naughty spot? Finally, for once, Ann Coulter quieted down and voluntarily left on her own. After all who've tried to hit back, it was the old "time out" that finally yielded results. Wait a minute. Maybe I'm thinking about an episode of "Supernanny". Whatever. Seems to be a tried and true method if you're trying to correct childish behavior.

If you want to see an example of what makes Ann Coulter quiet down, view the video here.

[AlCzervik]

23. I would think that even the moonie owned UPI would finally say

enough is enough.

[DeSwiss]

25. Its possible she's getting more shrill....

...because maybe her books sales aren't so hot:

[TexasLawyer]

26. Ha ha ha ha she is SO funny

NOT!!!

[Joe Bacon]

27. Will nobody stand up to her?

Why is she given pass after pass? Is there NOBODY who will stand up to her? Why is she given any publicity?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Check out the link in this thread...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=1978733

It's soooo satisfying!

[yellowcanine]

30. What explains Ann's rudimentary cognitive abilities? Did she get kicked

in the head also?

[semass]

31. What an insensative bitch!

The Universal Press Syndicate columnist wrote that Chafee is a "half-wit" who "made his living shoeing horses for seven years. In fact, I've often wondered if an errant kick to the head by one of his charges would account for Chafee's rudimentary cognitive abilities."

Back in 1968 1 month before his father's unsuccessful re-election bid for Governor, Lincoln Chaffee's 14 year old sister was killed in a horse riding mishap.

[VelmaD]

45. As stated above...please consider learning...

to express your disagreement without throwing around gender slurs.

[msgadget]

33. I guess book sales were starting to slow. n/m

[Montauk6]

34. Howard Stern made a fascinating observation about Coulter

Discussing her interview with Matt Lauer, Howard and Robin Quivers pointed out how her face denotes a momentary trace of shock/surprise when Matt was reading directly from her book some of the more odious statements hurled at 9/11 victims' wives. Like it hits, 'geez, did I actually WRITE that?'

Interesting tell.

Makes one wonder if, indeed, she DOES write half this garbage she spews out. It would certainly explain why she's one of the WORST self-defenders ever to sit for an interview. Can you imagine this woman defending a doctoral thesis??? Notice how her answers are along the lines of, "well, that's what's in the book," or "well, that's what I said," or "I think I was joking?" I've seen Buckley and Buchanan interviewed similarly and these guys, at least, know how to articulate how they arrived at the idea they write about, whether you agree with it or not.

[Vidar]

39. Awww, she's just passing on what Karl's office sends her.

[YankeyMCC]

46. Could be or is it

shock that she's shocked that anyone would find what she wrote insensitive or offensive? Perhaps her delusion is that deep?

Hmmm...then again I doubt she's even that sincere in her public positions offensive as they are. So you're probably right.

[Kber]

41. Do you think she really likes Abraham Lincoln anyway?

Not the point, I know. but I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted her father or bothers to support such a man. (Assuming she was born a woman and couldn't vote herself). His liberal agenda (freeing slaves and using big government to hold the union together and such) would surely be a huge turnoff, right?

[Supersedeas]

43. The Core Pubby Agenda has a face -- mAnCoulter, * and Rummi

[goforit]

47. This witch is looking for trouble. Is she ready to relive the Civil War?

[JerseygirlCT]

48. She's getting louder and uglier all the time. Ratings must be hurting. nt

[Occulus]

51. I'll quote someone else:

Thin as a snake and twice as mean.

[brentspeak]

52. David Brock's "Blinded By the Right" has interesting info on Coulter

Brock relates how he and Coulter gave a conservative friend of theirs' some advice on how to minimize the possibility of the friend's sex-scandal-past from ever becoming public. Later, when Brock was asked to provide some dirt on the mutual friend, he called up Coulter for the details concerning the sex scandal, and she instantly obliged.

[VegasWolf]

55. Ann Coulter should just shut up and play with her penis. nt

[rodeodance]

56. there needs to be limits on this kind of talk! my gawd!

[Janice325]

57. How in the world does she legally get by saying and writing this shit!

Yeah, I know she's a Repuke, but I would think her comments about death to political figures would piss off SOMEONE in their ranks! :puke:

[katinmn]

58. Imagine if the tables were turned and a liberal columnist like Molly

Ivens or Jim Hightower said "Cheney should have pulled the trigger on himself" or similar in their headline?

Can you imagine the uproar? Their careers would be over.

What's odd is that they are both syndicated through the same service.

America: Nation of hypocrites.

[PittPoliSci]

60. something tells me she wouldn't have a kind word for abe either. nt

[Ratty]

61. I can't stand seeing this woman's name everywhere I look

She's even worse than Paris Hilton! A no-talent nothing that has somehow managed to garner media attention time and time again. What is the obsession with her? She has a good scam going, say the most outrageous things she can, whether or not she believes it, and wait for the publicity to roll in.

I don't care what friggin thing she says next. Put a stop to it. Her name does not deserve to be in the headlines every single week!

[Scout1071]

63. Ignore it. I'm going to. No more C-word.

I'm going to hide every single thread with the C-word. And I've never hidden a thread in my years on DU.

[neuvocat]

64. I hope more people take note of this.

And I mean those who aren't democrats and liberals-they've already known what would happen before Bush even took away the White House. Those who label anyone as "democrat" or "liberal" or liberal are simply using language to make it more convenient to eliminate their enemies. Democrats and liberals in this country are still americans and when you start excusing that behavior, you can rationalize going after others too-one day its a democrat, the next day its a "liberal" republican who doesn't agree with a particular platform or agenda. When that happens, nobody is safe.

[MasonJar]

66. That kind of talk if beyond what should be legal.

[TexasLawyer]

68. If some RW nut job shot Chafee

I would not be surprised if his survivors sued Ann Coulter for everything she's good for.

That is a very dangerous game she's playing, and that's just on the civil side of the law.

[StrictlyRockers]

69. Ann Coulter should be eviscerated, stomped, drawn and quartered..

decapitated, dismembered and ditched, boiled, baked and befouled, vitiated, victimized and ventilated, tormented, tyranized and trampled, jailed, jammed and jarred, grilled, gored and guillotined, lambasted, liblled and liquidated, paralyzed, pummelled and pulverized,shivved, shredded and shot.

Heyyyyyy...I'm only kidding...it's just a "joke", Ann.

[HuffleClaw]

70. *yawn* just one more DESPERATE cry for some free publicity from the

pottymouthed talentless hack that is coulter. in kindergarten she'd have taken a dump in the sandbox at recess for attention.

[kdpeters]

71. In all seriousness, why was this voted to the greatest page?

Ann Coulter periodically "jokes" about the deaths of certain liberals and other enemies but this week the killing reference appears right in the headline of her column.

BREAKING NEWS: COULTER GOES TOO FAR
Headline displays filth normally expressed in the column -- or on TV, on the radio, or in books

Wow. She just keeps reinventing herself. She's like a conservative Madonna. How can she possibly top this? Maybe next time she'll read her column headline on TV while patting her head and rubbing her tummy - she may not even wear that little black cocktail dress. OH ... MAH ... GAWD.


All joking aside, I'm serious when I say I don't understand why she still gets attention. I know what she said, same thing as last week, same thing as next week. Does Editor and Publisher seriously think it's news because this time it was in her column headline? Please. I wanna know who she's blowing over there.

I'm not saying we shouldn't respond; we should. I just don't see the value in vindicating what she says and letting her set the terms of the discussion. If you voted for it, I'm curious as to why.

Now Kirsten Powers knows how to handle her. I think the poor dear just needs a hug.
