Ann Coulter
Ann Coulter always seems to be running for Queen of Divisiveness; but yesterday she outdid herself. While trying to disparage liberals and Democrats, she managed to insult both South Carolina's Governor Nikki Haley (R) and all African Americans in one 24 hour period.
Having proclaimed the Confederate flag debate "completely moronic," she went on to say the debate is nothing but "a litany of liberal talking points that make Republicans look bad."
what eye thynk: Well, yeah, she's got a point about Republicans looking bad; but they do seem to be the ones unable to let go of the fact the South lost the Civil War.
Which completely misses the point that, yes, Southern Democrats were not exactly in the vanguard of the civil rights movement; but in the end it was a Democratic president who signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, while Republicans remain stuck somewhere in the 1860s.
Continuing with her Save-the-Confederate-Flag theme, she said,
"If we want to do something nice for black people, how about ending immigration, which is dumping millions of low-wage workers on the country, taking jobs from African-Americans?"I wonder if she even realizes how insulting this statement is. Skipping over how stupid it is to say we should end immigration; by all means, let us "do something nice" and reserve all those low-paying jobs for African-Americans! Because black people and the minimum wage go together like fried chicken and watermelon! Trying to make a point against liberals, she merely demonstrated once again the innate disdain conservatives have for minorities.
Discussing South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's call for the removal of the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds, Ms. Coulter continued to demonstrate her mastery of the power of stupid.
"I'm appalled by--though, I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand America's history."Most adults do not decide who to "like" based on a person's political affiliation, at least not the ones I know; but this says so much about what is wrong with America today: If you're not "us," you're the enemy. I can't like you; I won't listen to you; you're value to me is minimal.
Democracy is based on mutual respect. Anything less and you have the Middle East.
And a finally note: Nikki Haley's parents are immigrants; but Ms. Haley was born in South Carolina, which pretty much brings Ms. Coulter's 24 hour Confederate flag diatribe to its nadir.
[Ann] went on to say the debate is nothing but "a litany of liberal talking points that make Republicans look bad." Ha! I say, Ha! The repubs don't need any help looking bad. They do a great job by themselves.
ReplyDeleteI took all the letters from Ann's name and arrived at this anagram: 'racist bitch', Was that too harsh? It wasn't too harsh was it? ;)
