Coulter is going to appear on the Tonight Show Wednesday

tell them that you're not going to watch, and you're going to tell others not to watch and you're going to get a list of advertisers as well and tell the advertisers that they're supporting hate

1. And miss seeing her booed by the studio audience?
Well, I don't actually watch Leno, I've never thought he was funny.

But if I did I wouldn't be quick to boycott the show, it could be a mixed blessing.

2. Considering...
George Carlin is also a guest, I think she should appear...
George doesn't suffer fools gladly...

3. Carlin's not at all political,
and he's a big fan of free speech.

If he's true to form, he won't get into it.

Hell, ignoring her is the best tactic.

9. Nope....Not Correct
Carlin is definitely Left of center. He was on Real Time a couple of seasons ago, and was by far the most liberal of the panelists on that particular show.

When he gets on a roll, it's tough to shut him up. If he thinks that she's a wacko, he will tell her to her face. I can't imagine he'll allow his belief in "free speech," prevent him for calling "IDIOT" when he sees one.

28. Hope he speaks his mind
I wouldn't consider George Carlin the type of person who tries to avoid "getting into it."

I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

33. I hope you are right.
He also has a famous quote about why can't he call a woman a c--t if she is acting like one, so lets hope he uses that on Annie.

12. You should've seen him goin after Fox
There was a segment on Outfoxed where he's shown not taking their crap. I think they (Fox) gave him the "Turn off his mic" treatment.

14. Maybe Carlin's 'not political'
Just the same, Mr. Carlin is most definately anti-stupid. I wish I could get NBC just to see the look on his face when Ann traipses off into bullshit alley. That will be adorable ;)

15. He's real hit and miss.
I might carve her a new one, but then again he may have never even heard of her before.

4. If George Is On The Couch Also
I will definitely watch, because I can guarantee George will rip her a new one, assuming they allow him to be there at the same time.

6. Yes. I heard that he is going to be on too. THAT should be interesting.
I doubt that I will watch. But I cannot wait to hear about it.

But I WILL write a note to NBC voicing my disgust that she is being booked on the show.

5. I can't stand her either BUT....
She is speaking volumes for the Repukes by bashing the 9/11 widows.
Let's let NBC parade her idiotic self out there for the world to laugh
at and rebuke. George Carlin is supposed to appear as well...and you know
he won't let her leave without a few words of delicious wisdom!!!

:)

23. Agreed
I think the more exposure she gets the more people will see what the Right Wing Wacko's are all about.

And correct about George Carlin not letting her leave without words of wisdom. Often he can do that just by a facial gesture, which speaks volumns.

Welcome to DU, freexone.

8. This is very undignified of Leno & NBC.



Why even Barnum & Bailey did away with freak shows years ago.

10. dwickham . . . LET HER TALK! We need ALL voters to hear her!
She is an absolute gift to Democratic candidates this year with her latest rantapalooza about the 9/11 widows.

18. If it's 'good' enough treatment for the Dixie Chicks, it's way too good
for Ann Coulter. Let's blast them. I'm looking for an online petition site for boycotting Coulter's book. Does anyone know how to set up an online petion for bookstores selling her books? That we could sign and threaten to boycott? (On a much grander scale than just DUers?)

19. Oh, hell, let her vomit all over the audience
She's only there to legitimize the radicals running the government.

My guess is that much of the audience will be hostile, even as Leno fawns.

21. I watch Leno fairly often
Along with O'Brien afterwards. Over the last few months, the rightwing has been getting very few cheers. It used to be that whenever Leno and O'Brien made jokes about Bush or Republicans, half the audience would be booing- not the case anymore.
I have a feeling Coulter won't get a very favorable reaction from the audience.

It's not a safe environment for her. Nothing is, but I would guess that Leno and the audience are going to go after her ass...

26. Why? Let her continue to minimize herself. For those who don't
watch Fox, let more people get the full effect.

27. Need I remind everyone that Carlin
was the one who called Barbara Bush "The Silver Douche Bag" on Real Time. You can bet if he and Coulter are on at the same time he will mangle her with his razor wit and command of the english language... I can't wait :D

29. Carlin not poltical?
Please. That guy is about as political as they come.

He should just get up and walk out if he's still on the couch when she comes out.

Simple and to the point.

31. I have seldom watched Leno, after he signed on with Arnold,
but I may watch this one and write them, after the fact, depending on how bad it is. I'm hoping that Carlin is on with her, as well. He's not apolitical, despite the fact he doesn't vote. I've seen him often on Bill Maher and, since he sounds like one of us, so was surprised and disappointed when I found that out. NBC should have known better, after her "Today Show" interview, so they know what they're getting...:grr:

32. and they'll be like "oh wow, like fifty people won't watch"
George Carlin is going to be on there too, so I will watch the Tonight Show.

There are like eighty of these threads a day, and how successful are they? How about spending your activist energy on something productive, like, I don't know, making sure that everyone in your area knows the position of liberal and/or Democratic candidates. Boycotting a show which will have five million viewers at least regardless of what some far left site like this complains about achieves nothing, except stroking the egos of self-righteous passivists who think meaningless shit like this actually achieves anything.
