Coulter's "Macaca moment" spurs newspapers to drop column

Wow, not one of them I read, at least anymore. I used to live in Jacksonville so i am not surprised about the Times-union, but the rest of the list, what collection of 2nd tier (at best) small town papers. All subscribing to a 4rd tier thinker (to contrast and compare, Rainman was 3nd tier, at least he could count correctly) with no social skills.

Thank you Media Matters

For providing this list. This is the best way to fight the hatemonger Ann. Hate speech has no place in the nations newspapers.

The Villages Daily Sun is the paper I was reading while on vacation.  Malkin and Coulter on the same page, I thought the thing might explode.

who cares?  it's like getting dropped from your highschool newspaper, no one's going to notice.  it isn't like her main source of income or claim to fame was her being a newspaper columnist.

get her website shut down and her banned from msnbc/cnn and ill give you credit, but 3 hick newspapers does not deserve a pat on the back.

 

Good. This loudmouth doesn't have the creativity or the smarts to sustain her own brand of hate. It's about time. More to come, I'm sure. 

Hahaha... I see the Political Correctness Police are out in force today doing their best to inhibit free speech.  It figures. 

Gotta love liberals... 

 

It is interesting that Coulter says that she believes that it is perfectly OK to call someone that everyone knows is not gay the f-word.

Thank you Ann for clearing all of this up.

Therefore, legitimate commentators are free to call Sean Hannity the word that rhymes with "punt" and starts with a "c" and there is nothing wrong with it because everyone can see that he is a man.

I actually used to have fun watching Ann Coulter, until she became so predictable that I realized that only inbred yokels will find her opinions thoughtful and well researched. I can actually picture her with a a buzzcut using the name Andy, and that ain't helpin' either!  

Same reason you have to turn off billo for a few weeks, you can look at the stories before he reports it and predict what side he'll take.  for example:

abu ghraib - i predicted he would try to localize it among a few low ranking soldiers and try to sell it as an isolated incident, then try and shift the story to how the media reports on it.  i was right.

i enjoy the show and i encourage everyone here who loves their mmfa clips to actually WATCH the show, just take a break in between so you can feel like his spin tactics are fresh again:)

Just to update, one hour ago the Shreveport Times  (which is listed here as still being one of Coulter's clients) announced that it would no longer carry Ann Coulter's column.

Bottom line is that Ann Coulter's better days are most likely behind her. The political winds are shifting and except for a last hold-out population of right wing slugs people of both parties are tired of the political nastiness.  Coulter's probably made a bundle of cash but I womder if she's proud of what she's done with her life... or, better, I wonder if her mother is proud of her.

I am appalled that no newspapers in Oregon are on this list. Does Ann hate Oregonians? Why, I oughta . . .

Oh, wait. That just means that Oregonians are smart enough not to want to read Coulter's dribble. Never mind.

 

 

Don't cry for Ann...she's made plenty of money with her inane bigotry and nonsense. I'm sure she'll still get her payments from Karl Rove's slush fund.  I would imagine that several of the professional liars are receiving covert money from our tax dollars.  You don' think they became billionaires on their talent, do you?

accdg to mmfa's list, she is down to 44 from her 100 when godless came out.  43 if you count the above posters find.  

I am surprised know one has made the connection between Coulter's slur on Edwards and those made by Laura Ingram on her radio show during the debates between Edwards and Dick Cheney.  Ingram constantly referred to Edwards as "Bambie" and Cheney as "a real, man's-man.”  Obviously, this time around, Coulter figured she better make the insult even more offensive to get her media attention and laugh.  Her excuse that 'fa***t' is just a playground taunt, shows she sees national political discourse as no more moral that what happens on the playground -- and the playground is not a moral place as anyone who wasn't one of the 'chosen' knows. 

OK - did anyone read her new column today?  Evidently Rush Limbaugh only neede his drugs for "Back pain" - no crime there. 

Wow - this woman has lost it. 

Interesting that the left is so rabid about shuting down opposing points of view. Party that tolerates? Hardly.

So I guess you need to add phaggot (MM has cenesored this word) to George Calrin's list of words you cant say.

Na na, nana na na, hey hey Goodbye! The leftologists dance with glee in the streets!

So the question is this:DID ANYONE WRITE TO THE NEWSPAPERS THAT ARE IN THEIR AREA THAT CARRY COULTERGEIST?

I wrote the Antelope Valley Paper because that is where I live part time.

So did anyone?

 On another note.

 nANN HAS PARENTS!?!?!? SERIOUSLY!?!?!?

I always figured she was shiite out on a fence post and it grew from there.

Let her keep talking. Apparently they haven't figured out what happened in November 2006. People are sick of this potty mouth stuff and don't want to to be associated with them. 

For those of you who would like to include another disgusting Ann Coulter in your email to the editors, you might want to use this one.

 (here is the full link so you can see it) It is WMA format and it runs 1:02 seconds. At 45 second Ann says

Ann Coulter "On the bright side we hit a couple of UN peacekeepers."

Melanie Morgan and Officer Vic laugh

Officer Vic "Look at those blue helmets go flyin'" 

Coulter "Somebody has to tell Israel about the installation on 42nd street." Laughter

Every time Ann Coulter opens her mouth it is a Macaca Moment.

THANK YOU.

You guys wanna hear something quaint, and naive? I just e-mailed the Texas papers on this list that carry "The Pale Scarecrow From Hell" and told them to drop Coultergeist.

It feels great.

Here's my letter to the editor of the Denton-Register Chronicle-feel free to copy and send to your local newspapers...

*****

Editor Trimble,Although I subscribe to the Dallas Morning News, I live in Corinth and am a regular reader of the Denton-Record Chronicle.  (The hospital where I receive cancer treatment routinely has several copies in the waiting room.)  While I can accept that being of the "progressive-liberal" persuasion is the minority position in Texas, and that editorial pages will frequently print opinions I disagree with, I believe that public discourse that I disagree with is healthier than never hearing the flip-side to my opinions. That said, it is incumbent upon journalists and editors to contribute to the public discourse in a way that raises important issues and furthers the healthy debate that helps drive thoughtful, meaningful change in our society.  Yet many newspapers, yours included, have rewarded Ann Coulter with space on the editorial page and financial enrichment.  I find it appaling that a woman who has  repeatedly used racial slurs and homophobic epithets, "wrote" a book last year that contained several instances of plagiarism, and referred to 9/11 widows as "harpies" whose "husbands were probably going to leave them anyway" is on the same page as so many distinguished and respected thought leaders. In her gutless efforts to remain relevant and sell more books, she has become a pathetic laughing stock who hurls shocking insults and expels the word "libruhls" from her lips as though she has swallowed a cockroach.   She has not raised the level of discourse in this country.  I cannot remember the last time she even made a coherent sentence that wasn't sprinkled with something hateful and insulting towards half of America.  She has become a parody of herself, and her brand of "shock jock entertainment" makes Howard Stern seem harmless.  Yet she is allowed, heck even paid, to contribute to editorial pages in the Bible belt that is North Texas?Denton County residents and subscribers to your newspaper should not be helping Ann Coulter make a living for encouraging hate, and in some cases, violence, against minorities, gays, democrats, newspaper editors, and members of our judiciary.   I implore the Denton-Record Chronicle to join the growing list of newspapers who have dropped her column from their editorial pages. Respectfully,

This is the list I was looking for when I posted on the original Coulter-Edwards story. We all could have spent the last six days causing havoc in these newsrooms. Cheers to "R.S."

I just finished sending off an email to every paper that read:

 I am horrified that your paper believes the vile things that Ann Coulter says are worthy of your print.  I wonder, does your publication support her viewpoints?  Are her viewpoints something you would want your children reading?  I would fully support your decision to cancel her column.Thank you,Rick _____Lets see if we can cost her a few more dollars.  That is the only thing these vile people understand.

I never really cared for Ann Coulter. I found what she said to be tasteless and not smart. She has a track record of writing and saying immature remarks to stir controversy and irritate liberals. I think she enjoys feuding with liberals and loves the attention. This may even help her build a reputation that gains more attention and promotion. While I think she may not be balanced, I find it funny that Media Matters would post the sites and e-mail addresses to get people to censor her column and try to diminish her. I find it funny that liberals want free speech and are doing this because they dub her as promoting “hate speech”. Is Media Matters misogynists? Is Media Matters against a woman speaking her mind because they disagree with her? Do Liberals read everything she writes and says? If you do not like it, then ignore it. This makes me wonder if Liberals are providing ratings and money to hear and read conservatives. If so, then they are masochistic. I wish Media Matters was more aggressive towards Rush Limbaugh, than a stir crazy woman. Perhaps there are people at Media Matters and posters that find Ann Coulter sexy and attractive and are upset they cannot have her so they love to hate her. I certainly do not see conservatives try to censor liberals like Al Franken. I will admit her profanity towards Edwards was unnecessary and she is a tasteless satirists. I do find that word a profanity like vulgar cussing like the four letter F word. I also find other forbidden words that should not be in my vocabulary such as gay, lesbian, etc. I certainly do not want my children knowing these words until they are in their late teens. I hope this drive does not work to get Ann Coulter’s columns canceled. I would rather the conservative base eliminate her popularity and power status by her continuing to say the wrong things.  I would rather her be victim from the conservative base she supports than a victim of the pink fascists that suppress and punish people who say what is on their mind like Michael Savage and Isaiah Washington so they can brainwash the masses.

Glen Greenwald notes that several right wing bloggers are calling for her ouster from CPAC, and there are signs elsewhere among conservatives that Coulter has gone too far too often in her insulting, ad hominem way.

Coulter won't lose much income if small newspapers remove her column, but she will lose it if she's no longer on the A-list of speakers at "Conservative" events, and if she no longer has enough support among "Conservative" organizations to keep her godawful books bogusly atop the best seller lists by buying truckloads of the offal things to give away to their membership.

I think Coulter is at a crossroads in her career.  She can continue writing and speaking awful things to diminishing crowds and audiences, or she can use her vaunted intellect and writing talents to argue rationally for . . .oh, who am I kidding?  The woman has no soul, she's a heartless, soulless, gutless female dog of a woman who attracts only those men/women who are aroused by the scent of cruelty and the cold, malevolent eye of a hungry she-wolf.    

      

          Stopping her flow of income is secondary. It's her

      ego that comes to the fore. She needs the attention to

      satisfy her image, otherwise what is there???  

   

Actually, Coulter's column appears each Friday in the Op-Ed pages of the State Journal-Register, Springfield Illinois, right below Ted Rall's column.  The editorial staff of the State Journal-Register will publish her column on the assumption that if people yell about Coulter (or Rall), then it means that they are either buying the paper at the newsstands or they are subscribing to the paper, and they are reading the paper.   They see Coulter as more of a lure to entice people to buy the paper.

Back in the 1990's, I recognized Coulter as a smug, right-wing idiot who lacked the ability to base her opinions on solid fact.   In her column, she had been complaining that oil spills from off-shore oil wells were not an environmental hazard and then she cited the oil spills that were often blacken East Coast beaches in the early 1940's as an example of oil spills that were not an environmental hazard.  Unfortunately, she did not know that the first American off-shore oil wells were built along the Gulf Coast during the 1950's.   She also did not know that those East Coast oil spills came from coastal merchant vessels that had been torpedoed by the German U-boats from 1942 to 1944.   I told the State Journal-Register this and ever after I have regarded Coulter as a fool.

Hmmm, I tried to count and came up with 39 podunk papers...I think there are some Los Angeles City taggers with a bigger readership.

A lot of interesting thoughts in this very long discussion and I guess I could give Coulter credit for initiating tons of discussion. On the other hand Coulter is a disgrace to anybody who values ethics and integrity in the political process. A kind of conundrum.

 

In terms of free speech, she has the right to say anything she pleases that does not cause danger to other people. (Fire in the theater example) But what about free speech that causes danger to oneself. There’s a biker bar near here, what if one of Ann’s manly men walk into the bar and starts yelling at the top of his lungs, while laughing like an idiot, “You’re all a bunch phaggots!!!” Ann might need to scrape her manly friend off the sidewalk after that episode.

 

What free speech is NOT is the granting to anyone the right to get published or be on television.

 

And finally hate speech can be a slippery slope – it can suffer like pornography from the no clear definition except for the “you know it when you see it” one. For some people naked statues in a museum are pornography, and some people see Howard Sterns very blue, very adult, and sometimes very gross radio show as extremely funny and entertaining while other people see perverse sexuality in the tele-tubbies!

 So I know it when I see it and I see Ann’s phaggot comment clearly as hate speech. However I also see it as free speech. Another conundrum.

Thank you for posting this list of papers that carry Coulter's column.  I just sent an email to every one of them requesting they discontinue printing her column in their paper. I encourage everyone who is sick of Ann's smugness to do the same. Time for this bitch to GO.

 

    The Liberal Democrats continue on their warpath to silence Free Speach in America. When Liberal Democrats dissagree with you, they attempt to silence you. They do this every day with Dr. Michael Savage, and now with Ms. Ann Coulter who happens to be a Weapon Of Mass Instruction.  Where were these phony hypocritical Democrats when one of their very own expressed he was sorry Cheney did not die in a recent terrorist attack in an Afghanistan base.  A few years ago, another Hollyweirdo said " We should go out and stone Henry Hyde and his family"! The hillarious part is they really believe they are "progressives." The truth is much sadder, as they have unleashed a Holocaust with their pro Abortion laws that have cost over 40 Million lives. Yet here they worry about one harmless word. They are soft against Terrorism, yet strong against the Unborn. Libs have now adopted a New Age Religion they call Environmentalism, to silence the guilt they feel over Abortion caused deaths. Again if you dissagree with their newly found "religion" they will come after you!

   

Good for her. I don't mind saying I was right! 

Last July when she hurled those same ugly comments about Al Gore I predicted she was on the way out and she is.
