Ann Coulter says Max Cleland "lucky to have limbs blown off in Vietnam"

[displacedtexan]

She also writes that Silver Star medal winners aren't heroes.

If you can stomach the actual op ed, be my guest. Otherwise, check out the recap at americanprogress.org:

My prediction:

This election will be bloody.

[wryter2000]

1. She should be so lucky

No, really. I mean it. I hope she gets even luckier than that.

[GumboYaYa]

2. Ann Coulter is lucky the right wing is so

fucking stupid, or she would be out of a job.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. That worthless

sack of shit.

[edzontar]

4. She is a total pig and a traitor to America and the human race

How dare these pigs question Cleland, or Kerry for that matter, on their war service?

Outrageous.

[bluestateguy]

5. Repeating my request to be allowed to use the c-word in reference to her..

I urge the Administrators to reconsider. I think we should be allowed to call Coulter the c-word on this board.

[MsUnderstood]

9. why insult C words like that? n/t

[maddezmom]

11. conservative?

only kidding. She is one of the few women on this earth that the c-word is not only appropriate, but kind. I prefer f'ing c-word myself.

[BL_Zebub]

16. That might be prudent except...

...s/he doesn't have one of those, remember? ;)

[snippy]

46. Ann Coulter's Usually Not Truthful.

[HuskerDem]

6. Then may Ann C*r be the luckiest thing on earth

:nuke:

[SeveneightyWhoa]

7. Okay now, really.

Why would anyone worry about what Ann Coulter says or writes?
Nobody pays attention to her. She is the most partisan piece of shit in existence, and she's, quite frankly, a radical extremist. A complete wacko, if you will. Most people see this.

[liberalhistorian]

28. Unfortunately, a lot of them don't,

and far too many people still pay attention to her and actually listen to the nuclear garbage spewing from her useless mouth. That's why we need to be aware of whatever crock of shit she's cooking up so we can throw it in her face and the faces of those who actually listen to her every single chance we get. Silence is NOT good when it comes to fighting the likes of her!

[West Coast Democrat]

8. There's also a link with a message board at Yahoo

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=108&ncid=759&e=1&u=/uclicktext/20040213/cm_ucac/clelanddropsapoliticalgrenade

For those who are interested.

[ShaneGR]

10. I hereby ask that the Democratic Party give Ann a BIG salary

She does nothing but harm her own cause by writing such distasteful garbage. The more people we can get to read her sick garbage, the more votes we will get.

[ronnykmarshall]

12. I wish she'd say this on the air.

She doesn't have the guts to say this on TV or to Sen. Cleland's face.

I have never wanted to call a woman the "c" word, but this has to be the exception.

[Vogon_Glory]

13. Bush Distance Himself From Coulter? Hah! Hah! Hah!

Fat burger-flippin' chance that Dubya would distance himself from Ann Coulter's latest screed! To the best of my knowledge, Dubya has only spoken out against one of these right-wing tirades once--and that was when it was directed at him.

Personally, I'm hoping for more Coulter pronouncements. I'm waiting for Coulter to comment on Hispanic non-Republican veterans' patriotism and I dearly hope that someone will have the presence of mind to have a tape recorder and/or video recorder when she does.

[indigo32]

14. Will NOT open that link and read her trash

WILL NOT...WILL NOT

[Hand]

19. Nope, me neither...

There are simply some things too obscene for even my taste. This smells like one.

I've said this before for others: May her karma ripen quickly and fully. And I think it will.

Max Cleland is a hero. Coulter isn't worthy to lick the dirt from between his toes.

:nuke:

[displacedtexan]

25. That's not the link to the story. It's a link to the recap.

The actual story is (Gag me now, please) posted on the front page of The Heritage Foundation site.

BTW, if you haven't checked the daily update by americanprogressive.org, you should. Excellent opp res resource.

[denverbill]

15. Coulter just disparaged ALL US soldiers.

How many US soldiers have died or been gravely wounded in Iraq due to similar circumstances?

How about that helicopter full of soldiers who were returning home for leave? Is she going to belittle their sacrifice because they weren't on a combat mission?

[ShaneGR]

18. Exactly, I would be willing to guarantee...

At least a thousand have been maimed or at least seriously injured in accidents.

[nomaco-10]

17. She has got to be the most loathsome individual to

ever draw a breath. Is there just anyone anymore dispicable than this witch? This article needs to be sent to every news show that has ever had her on as a guest and told if you have her back again I will never ever frequent your station again. I'm sure Hannity will have her on and Colmes will sit there and smile politely as usual, I've gotten where I loathe him too, Colmes that is, Hannity is as vile as Coulter. I really hate her.

[The Magistrate]

20. This Creature Coulter Is Sorely In Need Of Karmic Adjustment

[NV1962]

21. That's wonderful stuff - copy and multiply it as "Bush's defense"

The more this stuff is distributed and spread around, the better: it will help people understand why Bush has to go.

With "friends" like that, Rove needs no Democratic opponent to lose the elections.

Spread this meme, fast and wide!

[salinen]

22. No need to get excited

just shoved a habonero up the Coulter voodoo dolls ass. Oh wait, there's already something up there, give me a minute......

[displacedtexan]

26. OK... I'm waiting. What was up there?

:puke:

[salinen]

36. Oh, sorry texan

It took awhile, had to perform an assectomy on voodoo Ann, no Annesthetic, haha, and I've removed what appears to be the original manuscript of "Mein Kampf".

[displacedtexan]

39. auf deutsch oder auf englisch?

Personally autographed by the author?

[jbfam4]

23. Who signs her pay check?

If I remember correctly, she already lost one job due to her mouth. Who can we write to?

HUMMMMMmm will anyone ask what Bush thinks about this at the next white house briefing?

[NV1962]

24. I send this out with the caption "Why Bush has no legs, come November"

Thankee, thankee, thankee!

[ThoughtCriminal]

27. Where's the outrage

from Republican leaders? Silence.

Clark was attacked for not denouncing M. Moore, but will they distance themselves from Ann's psychotic rants? Too much to hope for, that's how far the Republicans have sunk.

[liberalhistorian]

29. That's because the majority of repuke

leaders are draft dodgers or spoiled rich kids who never spent one day in a uniform themselves, it's simply unbelievable how they get off impugning the patriotism of those who actually HAVE served, many at their orders.

I wonder if Annthrax would feel differently if a member of HER family had had his limbs blown off or were killed in a war under "non-combat" circumstances?

[chelsea0011]

30. Coulter always gets away all types of disgust

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Anyone else would be flogged for that column. Not ole Ann. I mean the right is bringing out Jane Fonda attack ads, but Ann writes a cloumn saying Cleland is lucky to have his limbs blown off and the media doesn't use it as a reason the right is nuts. Instaed we get to see Jane Fonda have to defend herself on TV. We are all in hell.

32. She's lucky she lost her mind

Otherwise she'd never fit in with the rest of the scum that pay her to write this crap.

I can't wait for her to fly off to Vegas with _ucker Carlson for a fifty hour marriage.

She could use her broom and save the airfare.

[historian]

33. why bother with her?

If we mention her name here we are in a sense glorifying her. The freepers who come her to snoop will see that she is having an effect on us - let her blather on and ignore her - she isnt worth the brain cell effort.

[jpgpenn]

34. Nazi Bitch!

nuff said!

[Best_man23]

35. Criteria for Awarding Silver Star Medal

This is from an Army website.

"Criteria: The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Army, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party. The required gallantry, while of a lesser degree than that required for award of the Distinguished Service Cross, must nevertheless have been performed with marked distinction."

Mann Coulter is a sick, sick individual.

[leyton]

37. I think I would be able to treat most Republicans with respect,

but nasty, personal, baseless ad hominem attacks piss me off like nothing else. If I ever meet President Bush, I will tell him what I think of how his campaign behaved in South Carolina in the 2000 primary, and if I ever meet Saxby Chambliss, I will inform him that every Democrat in the country associates him with the dirtiest type of campaigning. These people have no scruples whatsoever - they are the worst type of political opportunists. I hope the former goes down in flames in 04, and the latter in 08.

Rant over.

[chocolateeater]

38. I have seen bodice-rippers with more truth

and writing skill than the average Ann Coulter column. Sorry if I offended anyone who likes bodice-rippers.

[KamaAina]

40. Remember that old Cat Stevens song "Moon Shadow"?

...oh if I ever lose my legs,
oh whee-ee-ee-ee-ee, whee-ee-ee-ee,
I won't have to walk no more....

Postscript: Stevens later converted to radical Islam, under the name Yusuf Islam, and backed the fatwa that called for the death of Salman Rushdie. How macabrely appropriate...

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Max responds:

Ann Coulter is lucky I don't kick her skinny ass.

[Crunchy Frog]

42. I wish that she would

get so lucky. Maybe she could do a USO tour in Iraq and get really lucky. :puke: :puke: :puke:

Couldn't stomach the actual op ed, the recap was disgusting enough.

These people are nothing but fascists. We absolutely have to get rid of them this November, otherwise they will completely destroy this country.

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

43. I haven't read the article, but I feel I can still say the following:

That woman is a cunt.

[laruemtt]

44. whenever she blurts out something

obscene like that (which is everytime she opens her mouth) i just enjoy fantasizing about what her karma will be....

[snippy]

45. How very republican.
