Yep, that darned Ann. Next she will dare to speak of the hideous black ghetto culture.

Then she will be getting bullets in her back instead of pies in the face.

For daring to speak the truth.

These political party swings are very typical and very cyclical. Remember the "Reagan Revolution" in the 80s? And how the Republicans barn-stormed Congress in the 90s? Republicans had both the Executive and Legislative Branches during the early 2000s.

Now the Democrats have both. It won't be long before Americans - always short-sighted and selfish - begin blaming the Democrats for everything that's wrong in the world. And guess what? The tide will shift again.

It always does.
Yea, will be interesting to see how the history books deal with the deficit created by the $775 billion - $1.3 trillion economic stimulus plan especially on top of the current deficit.

Maybe Im behind on the "story," but did she do or say something between the time she was booked and the time her interview was canceled that would have upset them - to the point where rather than having her on and asking her about the incident - which would have been a better ratings decision comparatively - they preferred to just cancel her?
NBC says her appearance was bumped for a live interview from Israel with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The Drudge Report's take on it was that AC was cancelled cuz she does Obama bashing and criticizes the liberal media for fawning over Obama. They reported that instead of Ann, viewers were treated to Rachel Maddow in the time slot slamming Bush. 'Today' Replaces Banned/Bumped Ann Coulter with Rachel Maddow | NewsBusters.org

Well, may not agree with AC on much but do agree the mainstream media does fawn over Obama and handles him with much more kid gloves than would have another candidate if he/she had won the Presidency.

So you agree with her that the widows from 9/11 enjoyed their husbands deaths?

You see---this is where things go wrong. You have to admit that Ann Coulter has alot of guts to come out with that opinion...and yet Senator Dick Durbin compared our Marines to Nazi's...and not a peep from the MSM or ANY democrat in the entire US condeming him...why is that?

Well, the thread is about Ann Coulter, not Dick Durbin. She is a dipstick!

Will you provide links to conservative-leaning mainstream media or any republicans that personally denounce Ann Coulter?

The reason that I "just can't do it" is because I didn't truly accuse you of it, I said I "suspected" you of doing it. Big difference. But if you really need my apology to feel better...then....I'm ever so sorry that I "may" have accused you of being a sheep brat...feel better?

If that were true than the excuses used for abortion were all made up. The #1 excuse used is poor environment due to funds.

I'm watching WTVI (the guy that researches history of peoples families) and he just interviewed this older man which said it better than I could ever in referring to today's society. "It used to be having children was an asset. Now it's a burden." The number one burdening factor in life today is poverty. It's only a burden to non family environments who can't afford them.


1 in 5 black males in jail.
70% of children are born to unwed mothers
75% of the criminals are in jail for drug or drug related charges
At least half are also users of drugs
With no role model of a father with a job drug dealers become the role model

One of the inmates was asked what causes it. He said "most of our fathers are dead or gone or in here. What kind of influence and how do you think that affects me"
