Palast challenges coulter
I'd love to see this debate-ann wouldn't stand a chanc e

---

“Godless” is Gutless
Greg Palast
June 7th, 2006
 
Anne Coulter says we’re “Godless” — we “liberals.”  And by “liberals,” she means anyone who wants to keep the government out of our underpants, out of Iraq, and out of the business of helping Big Business shoplift America. 
 
It’s time someone took on the blonde bully.
 
Anne, I realize yesterday was special day for you, releasing your book on June 6 — 06-06-06.
 
Going through it, I must, admit, is heavy going:  ‘Godless’ is a 300-page brick of solid meanness and pin-head hatreds packaged like a fashion magazine:  Big Brother wears Prada.
 
You accuse those who don’t sign on to your list of prejudices as the Lord’s enemies.   That’s not original, Anne:  the Taliban thought of it before you and they too were partial to dressing in black.
 
You want to talk about Godless?  OK, let’s go:
 
Would the Lord lie us into a war?
 
Would the Lord let thousands drown in New Orleans while chilling at a golf resort?
 
Would the Lord have removed tens of thousands of Black soldiers from the voter rolls as the Republican Party did in 2004?
 
You talk about being “Christian” — but with all your zeal to fire up electric chairs and Abrams tanks, you sound more like a Roman.
 
I suggest this, Anne:  let’s debate.  Set the time, set the place, and I’ll be there.  Nose to nose, my facts versus your fanaticism.
 
But I know you don’t have the guts to do anything but lob idiocies from your electronic Fox-hole.
 
Your new book is called, “Godless.”  Your autobiography should be called, “Gutless.”

2. She is gutless, the debate would never happen.
But how I'd love it too... she'd be in tatters when the truth got done with her.

9. That goes without saying...But you'd also pay good money to see
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 04:31 PM by LaPera
on pay per view, a Bush-Cheney-Rove threesome, and all three of them doing lines of coke and getting shit-faced drunk...finally the three of them end up beating the shit out of each other...

But neither is going to happen!

4. Like the pigman Rush, Coulter enjoys a one on one exchange when she's on
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 04:36 PM by LaPera
TV or radio...Coulter knows she never has to debate a liberal...like the pigman, Coulter also knows she would be crushed and her lies would be exposed quite easily and there would go her "credibility" with viewers & listeners & book buyers...

She is always allowed on by herself...because she's selling her best selling book...and she'd be incredible insane to be on with a sharp progressive liberal and she's very much aware of that and knows she doesn't have to.

Ann Coulter just loves to piss you off - and it does, so why in the fuck do you watch...because you love it!!

7. cheap publicity stunt by greg
I'm kind of ashamed to be honest. Trying to pit his book against Culter? Like she's on his level.. pathetic.

He's an unknown investigative journalist, she's a well known propagandist. I can't believe he'd lower himself to her level, its below him.

13. its one thing to confront someone if they're right there in front of you
but to pit his book against hers, its a publicity stunt.

30. I'm looking forward to KO's own so-called 'Publicity Stunt' in a few mins.
KO has his own SHOW on primetime but he's answering her back. Also answered back at O'Reilly recently and called him on his disgraceful WWII wrongful storytelling against our own troops (my late father included).

I admire him and Pallast for standing up to the most pathetic, obviously cynical rightwing windbag slut/nutkkkase to have been granted a public microphone in memorable U.S. history.

26. I agree. I'm disappointed in him ~ no one of any stature should lower
themselves to her level. All this does is give importance to a totally unimportant shrew who should have been charged with treason a long time ago for her involvement in the attempted coup d'etat of a US President. She should also have been arrested for threatening the life of US SC Justice. That's all I want to hear about her, the day she is treated the way any Muslim American would be if they made the kind of threats against Americans that she does.

10. Why does anybody listen to this windy bag of undesirable bones?
I've never heard anything worth hearing come out of her mouth. She has been proved wrong every time she has had the bad judgment to make a definitive statement. Even her voice is a constant irritant.

I just don't get it. :shrug:

19. Good for Pallast!
But I don't think he wants to debate Ann on cspan. He was on the other day and his counterpart was Emmett Tyrell from the American Spectator. I don't think Pallast did very well because Tyrell kept talking over him and Pallast was way too polite to him. He does very well when he's on his own but I don't think he's very good at debating.

23. Of course Coulter will do it.
Even though Franken kicked her ass twice, she's asked for another. She plays the victim, sells more books, thrives on the publicity. Franken says he won't do it any more.

Even if she loses, she wins.

Even the Devil would say she's too evil.
