Ann Coulter spins defense of her Clinton assassination quote

[sknabt]

"Fair and balanced" Fox News Channel is featuring Ann Coulter so much I can't keep up. Can you imagine the outrage of the right if CNN featured Michael Moore as much?

Anyway, I saw this on NewsHounds. She's ripping a drama portraying the assassination of President Bush but somehow it's perfectly fine to joke about assassinating President Clinton. The spin is so furious I'm shocked she doesn't get so dizzy she falls out of her chair.

1. the answer is right in front of you.

she's right and you are wrong.
She is entitled to all for murder of clinton or chafee, and you will be placed on a terrorist do not fly list.
GOPers, the more rabid the better, can do as they please, whereas you must follow the law.

3. Michael Moore Is A Rabid, Bombastic Blowhard

who relies on antics and inflammatory statements rather than civil debate.

Ann Coulter...oh, wait.

4. She's probably one of the reasons why Fox's ratings are going down.

9. I doubt that

The typical FoxNews viewer can't enough of that garbage.

5. Welcome to DU, sknabt. Ann knows her 15 minutes of fame

has worn out its welcome so it seems she'll say just about anything to make your jaw drop. I think she's a worn-out has-been; I wish she'd just go away! ANd it shows how low Fox's standards are by letting her yammer on so much.

6. Unfortunately Ann Coulter's 15 minutes of fame...

... feels more like a lifetime! ;)

7. Maybe she DOES fall out of her chair...

The way they edit over there, we'd never, ever know.

8. hahaha...Colmes nailed her

Later in the segment, before allowing Schoen to continue a thought after Coulter had spoken, Colmes said, "I don't want her to take her mike off," perhaps referring to an incident on the August 24 edition of Hannity & Colmes in which, as Media Matters for America noted, Coulter unexpectedly ended her participation in the segment after being challenged by guest host Kirsten Powers, a Fox News political analyst.
