President Coulter? Right-wing pundit proposed "carpet-bomb[ing]" Iran when asked -- again -- by a Fox host what she would do as president
For the second time in recent days, a Fox News host asked Ann Coulter what she would do if she were president. Coulter's most recent reply -- during a discussion on Sean Hannity's radio show of Iran's potential development of nuclear weapons -- was that she would "carpet-bomb them so they can't build a transistor radio" much less a nuclear weapon.
During the July 21 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, which was broadcast from the "2006 Hannity Freedom Concert," Fox News host Sean Hannity asked right-wing pundit Ann Coulter how she would propose to end Iran's nuclear activities if she "were president." Coulter replied: "How about we just ... carpet-bomb them so they can't build a transistor radio?" As Media Matters for America recently noted, Fox News host Neil Cavuto similarly wondered how a "President Ann Coulter" would view certain diplomatic overtures toward Israel from Hezbollah's leadership. Coulter noted that her "first act in office ... would be to deport all liberals" and then "deal with Israel."
From the July 21 broadcast of ABC Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:
HANNITY: What do you think we should do with Iran? What is the Ann Coulter -- if Ann Coulter were president, what would you do?
COULTER: Well, I keep hearing people say we can't find the nuclear material, and you can bury it in caves. How about we just, you know, carpet-bomb them so they can't build a transistor radio? And then it doesn't matter if they have the nuclear material. And --
HANNITY: But you know something, here's a really important question.
COULTER: -- they can't deliver the nuke.
HANNITY: Is the world going to wait until Iran has nuclear capability 'til we react, and how much more difficult is that situation?
COULTER: Well, we see it with North Korea. I mean, North Korea, I think, proves why we have to go into Iraq. Once they get the nukes, it's a little bit harder to deal with, now isn't it?
The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about

Please please please please please run Coulter in '08.
Good news, Good news, Good news, Good news......if the Republican's run Coulter in '08 you may have a snowball's chance in July to regain the White House.
Please return us to the Jeffersonian democracy
Question Mark Tommy,
I think you meant a snowball's chance in the artic circle.
I know you screwed up because you meant to put a question mark after your ludicrous assertion, therefore negating anything you said.
But 2008 has been cancelled due to The Rapture.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahha
They barely have a snowballs chance in July of winning the White House again. Get ready for your rightwing revolution to lose power for about a generation. Your 15 minutes are up.
If a snow balls chance is the question, then Ann, Sean, GWB, and Cheney would be resident experts on all things found in hell since they obviously sold their soul to Satan a long time ago.
Tommy, if you're a patriot, a man's man whom would die to protect democracy, fight to the death for the Bill of Rights, and our constitutional form of government; then I look forward to hearing about your endorsement of Democrats in the upcoming and '08 election.
If not, then count yourself amoung the traitors whom would pervert our form of government into a Fascism.
Happy Thoughts;

"COULTER: Well, we see it with North Korea. I mean, North Korea, I think, proves why we have to go into Iraq. Once they get the nukes, it's a little bit harder to deal with, now isn't it?"
Has the US ever invaded a nuclear power?
I missed it. The 2006 Hannity Freedom concert wasn't very far from where I live. Not only could I have seen Sean, but I could have possibly rubbed elbows with Oliver North and Lee Greenwood. Although I'm sure my wife would have insisted that IO hosed myself off before entering our house afterwards.
..the same 31% that still approve of Bush. So maybe there is hope that the American people will wake up to this neo-con nightmare
Is there a more insane concept in the entire world?
Those damn transistor radios MUST be stopped! I'm sure they play that negro music on them too! We must carpet bomb them so they can't build them anymore!
Sick
That was on the "700 Club" saying liberals aren't "real Christians?"
So why is Fox (har har) "news" STILL putting this (rhymes with rich) on their network?
Simple, she appeals to the typical Fox "news" viewer, you know, the ones that still are getting used to having opposable thumbs.
would leave her president of what ? By the way, I seem to remember a similar comment uttered by this lunatic on the Maher show, albeit a different country.
The quote above is wrong, by the way, she says "I mean, North Korea, I think, proves why we HAD to go into Iraq." not "have".
Anyway, that statement "I mean, North Korea, I think, proves why we had to go into Iraq. Once they get the nukes, it's a little bit harder to deal with, now isn't it?" is pretty funny in its own sad way. Because, didn't we go into Iraq because they allegedly already HAD weapons of mass destructions, not only because they would have them later? I don't think they were alleged to have nukes, but they were supposed to be close to having that capability, and they were supposed to have WMDs that could cause a lot of damage even if it wasn't nuclear.
Not that logic or facts matter to these people, but it would be nice to hear something other than "war".
Before we invaded Iraq, I wanted to know what kind of lunatic would send ground troops into a country run by a madman who had used WMD's in the past. None of these pundits ever answer that question. The second question is, if Saddam did have WMD's and used them what would our response had been ..yes, unleash HELL on Iraq and the rest of the world. Therefore, this administration is either crazy or liars. Take your pick. Does Annie realize that her alter-ego in Iran is probably saying the same thing on her round of talk shows featuring her new book "Coulter than Ice"? Hope she has a nice spider hole to climb into when it starts over here!
Doesn't promoting carpet bombing make you a sociopath and discount you as someone that we should allow to speak on a national platform on these issues. Sitll shaking my head that they still bring this psycho on to discuss the issues of the day. And for those of you who will start shouting that I am trying to abolish free speech... take a deep breath...I have no problem with her being aloud to speak I just think the better forum would be to let her rant and rave on some street corner like the lunatic she is and not enable and encourage her lunacy by putting her on the air waves.
that should be "allowed" not "aloud". Thats what I get for trying to think and write at the same time /-:
. . .that conservatives in this country hate the conservatives of other countries ?
. . .that their answer for evil is killing, the same as what was inflicted on us 9/11/01 ?
. . .they think their religion is the ONLY only path to heaven, same as those we're fighting ?
And the list could go on and on and on. . .
Now who would this psychotic nutbag pick as a running mate - O'Reilly? I'd be concerned, because once she is assassinated thing two would be in charge.
no trigger may be involved. As "Christian" as she claims she is, she'd burst into flames when she places her hand on the bible to take the oath of office!
O'Reilly would shoot people between the eyes for breaking curfew and Coulter would carpet bomb innocent people in Iran.
I wonder if these two nutjobs would gas their own people, you know liberals and gays and stuff, if they were President.
Over here in the United States, we invite our lunatics on TV and ask them what they would do if they were President. Better yet, we buy their books in droves.
Saddam Hussein doesn't seem so crazy after all.
how similar the Cons are to those they hate. I point it out, obvious as it is, to conservatives I know, and just get the most blank looks back.
Love when the subject of Islamic Fundamentalist terrorists comes up, just to throw out the off-hand "well, these are pretty conservative groups", or "Yeah, that's what a surge of traditional conservatism does"
Makes them nutty (er)
Commando Annie is like a living Dalek..."exterminate! exterminate! ex-ter-min-ate!!!"
If you take Ann Coulter seriously and as a sane person then you must take Charles Manson as a sane person also.
She is just as nutty.
I'll be waiting for the Carzy Annie sex tape.
She will probably be in bondage with Savage yelling something like: "call me liberal!!!"
Oh the mental image.
Nobody's pointed out that to the voters who'd go for her goofy, neanderthal politics, Coulter has a built-in problem...her gender.
It's really difficult to imagine that the same people who applaud enough of her views to even consider electing a president with them, would also be progressive enough to vote for a female.
COULTER is a "hateful old hag"
