I wonder if Coulter is aware of the study that showed that the children of LESBIAN couples turn out more socially well adjusted and less bigoted than those of heterosexual couples. I wish I had been there to throw that in her face. She probably would have found some way to blow it off, like they do all science that doesnt support their gilded age fascist agenda. Plus anyone who uses the word fag, which she called John Edwards, shouldnt be given a stage for any reason at any time. I wonder if she'd be making the talk show circuit if she had used the N word against a black politician. I think not!
She's just self serving scum. The ladies on the view (except that GOP shill Liz Hasselbeck) should have pointed out that POVERTY (promoted by right wing politics) is the real root of crime, not the single mothers who frequently have to raise their children with next to no help from the likes of coultergeist and her ilk.

Agree with Gary esp. last paragraph re: poverty. I'm glad to see the women giving Coulter hell. Coulter's time in the media spotlight is about finished, her shtick is tirerd. At least let us hope. Her answer to being part of the solution? To scream from the sidelines at the "immoral liberal malefactors." She might as well be pontificating from some fundie pulpit.

two of the most important points said were
1) you can dish it out but you can't take it.
2)Thats your act. (as in Schtick)
Although i think Ann Coulter is an ignorant money hungry manipulative ugly hearted fake, i must say that she is being treated differently than if she was a man saying the same thing. I believe she is so out of touch and wrong on so many levels but a lot of men say the same thing the same way and Coulter is demonized more than them. For that, she is guilty of turning it around to her advantage and profitting as well. I do not understand why she gets so much media coverage. Who is pulling the strings on her behalf?

I saw the show. I wouldn't mind betting there are some very ugly skeletons lurking in Coulter's dark lonely closet. Something must have happened to her, in fact to anyone who harbors such hatred and twisted views of people and the world.

Gary, "Elizabitch" hasn't a clue, just another media airhead who is on the show for comic relief. She's an idiot as is Coulter, nobody really takes them seriously unless of course if you're a neocon. The more they rant, the less credible they are, let them.

Coultergeist is GREAT! I love this woman! She has a very entertaining shtick, and I bet she doesn't believe a word of the nonsense that comes out of her mouth! A complete and total media whore, she will say anything to get on the air. She is not above making a train wreck of herself to get attention, and the act that she's mastered is one that is very tough to do. The only thing I don't understand about her is the Adam's apple. Weird. Maybe she will "come out" as transgender!

Ann is a classic case of lying with statistics. She colours all single mothers with the statistic that 70% of prison inmates were raised by single mothers but doesn't mention that the percentage of children of single mothers who become criminals is very small indeed. The reality is that the vast majority of children of single mothers turn out fine but Ann doesn't want anyone to know this because it destroys the caricature she's trying to make of them as "the training ground for future criminals".

The other commentors are correct in that if she was a man she'd never get away with the bile she spews. I'm convinced she gets away with it because she's an attractive woman and her visual appeal mitigates the hate she spews - people think, oh, isn't that cute, the pretty delicate lady is being outrageous. I'm certain that as her looks continue to fade she'll reach a point where she's as ugly as the crap coming out of her mouth and she'll lose all media appeal - there'll be nothing to balance the evil she contains insider her.

She lives? I thought that boney-assed b---h had died of anorexia and bulimia. What a disappointment. She can’t live much longer on just bile and water, can she?
