Political Punch

First it is the Edwards that are making lite and political the unfortunate death.

Elizabeth is a coward and far worst of a coward is her husband. This was a political stunt.

What is Anne Coulter's deal. She has no content whatsoever so she insults those who disagree with her. If she had substains, wouldn't she offer suggestion to remedy these problems that she attacks the left for. Wouldn't she be pulling her credibility out of the gutter if she could carry herself in a way more respectible such as that of George Will or William Buckley? Maybe then she would still be with MSNBC or USA Today.

Perhaps she is just still bitter about the house falling on her sister during that tornado.

As for Elizabeth Edwards, from one Tarheel to another, You Rock like Gibraltar. Keep on doing what your doing and let's put John in the West Wing where he should have been in some time ago.

Making light of the death of someone's son is beyond the pale, but what is calling someone a "f*ggot" while wearing the same, "here I am, call me" black, short-skirt time after time and later saying, "I just wish (John Edwards had) been killed in a terrorist assasination."

The only time anyone should listen to anything Ann Coulter has to say is when she says it wearing something other than the same short black skirt. Really. The Republicans need to have a "fashion" raiser for her.

You know the old saying, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing?" Maybe you know it by "All it takes for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothing?"

Elizabeth Edwards is a good person, and she did something. She didn't let an evil triumph or prosper.

Boy oh Boy, the fact that John Edwards has to have his wife speak on his behalf says it all. Come on, everyone knows ABC set this all up to have Elizabeth Edwards call into Good Morning America just to boost her husband's standings. Did it work? Come on, the answer is NO! Nothing can help the Brett girl at this point. Politics aren't like they were when Richard Nixon ran for office whereby a candidate that lost could come back and eventually one. If a candidate loses he or she is out of contention because we want somebody new. It's simple, John Edwards is in 3rd place and he needs to increase the fundraising. He tells Elizabeth to call in and complain that a political comedian is saying things about her husband that she doesn't like. Ann Coulter whether she is Republican or not was simply quoting Bill Mahr when she made her comment. Elizabeth has to get "real" and understand that she needs to get a stiffer upper lip if she is going to be the wife of a political figure.

It was with a great deal of interest that I read the many comments concerning the ann coulter/ELIZABETH EDWARDS exchange,(please note my deliberate usage of the lower case in refereence to ms coulter)
ONe of the many freedoms we as Americans enjoy is the freedom to express an opinion in public. However, this right and privilege is tempered by the fact that one deos not have the privilege to defame another or to infringe upon the right of any other AMerican. I missed the original broadcast, so I was obligated to view the video on the net to be able to hear the entire text of the conversation.
If ann coulter flipped her hair once, she flipped it several times,looking and acting as the self-absorbed,aging Prom Queen hiding behind her dark,menacing shades. I have seen ms coulter on Bill Maher's show and she has never been able to hold a candle to Bill's presentation of the facts. He regularly shuts her down,when she can't think of a comeback. She has stated in the past that she and Bill are friends. If that is truly the case,then Bill needs a better class of friend.She tried to excuse her deplorable comments concerning the Edward family by lamely whining that Bill had made a similar remark about"Slick Dick"Cheney. When Bill Maher made that remark it was in the context of a comedy routine presented in the monologue of his show "Real Time". ann coulter's vitriolic attack was not part of any"joke", but rather an unwarranted attack on a family who has had more than it's share of grief and adversity. Was annie fanny proud of herself? She got quite a kick out of patting herself on the back in public. Even the Re-pubs were astounded by her outlandish,mean and tasteless comments. What I admire is a woman who will stand up and defend her family: her childern and the man she loves and do so in a polite and noble way. Elizabeh stated that she did not tell her husband she was going to call, she just did it,unbeknownst to John. So all you good ole boys can get off your testosterone-driven logic that John is "hiding behind his wife". I would have done the same thing Elizabeth Edwards did if someone ever denigrated any of my children or attacked the man I love.I wouldn't wait for anybody's permission to grind a loathsome worm like ann coulterback into the slime from whence she crawled. Next time Elizabeth, don;t bother trying to communicate with a sub-specie, your wasting your valuable time that would be better spent helping your children and spending quality time with the people who are meaningful in your life

Turn off the T.V. Its so simple. I don't understand how any Christians can approve of that Ann Coulter's methods. I shudder everytime she says something that sounds even vaguely like she's trying to defend Christians. I don't need her defending me. As a Christian, I pray that everyone will try to show love and kindness to others even in their work, jokes, and politics.

dt - please give facts of when she said anything that you say she said, in this latest thing she just changes names in a comment your lib commentattor Bill Mahr said in statement so listen to the full statement.

So stop slandering her please!

ELIZABETH AND MR $400 HAIRCUT HAVE USED SYMPATHY OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO RAISE CAMPAIGN FUNDS SO IT IS NOT SURPRISING TO SEE THEM IRKED WHEN THEY ARE CALLED ON IT. AND THEN THEY CAPITALIZE ON THEIR WHINING AND SNIVELING ABOUT ANY CRITICISM ON THEIR WEBSITE. WHAT A CROCK!!!!!

Ann Coulter is many things (vile, reptilian, rich) but stupid isn't one of them. Nor is she an intellectual. Mostly she is an opportunist. I don't believe that she believes much of what she says. But she saw an opportunity to become a conservative pundit and leapt with both feet. Now she says the most outrageous things she can come up with, protected only by the fact that the people she's slandering are public entities and can't sue her.

But the people in this thread who say she speaks "the truth" or what 'real' Americans truly feel should feel ashamed. Coulter has advocated murder, racism, and environmental disaster, spoken out against women's rights and the same first amendment she now appears to be clinging to. Coulter may claim this is "satire" but that's only because she either doesn't understand or is deliberately misusing that word. (That, or hers is the greatest put-on act of all time, and Borat could take lessons from her.)

If this is the woman you revere, maybe you need to take a closer look – at her, and at yourselves.

To Ms. Edwards and Ms. Coulter - SHUT UP! It is hard to have empathy with millionaires fighting with millionaires. Neither of you are helping or worthy of any respect. Both of you are at fault.

Daisy555. FYI Commander and Chief only relates to military, not civilians. Bush a President? not much of anything good for this country. And just because someone disagrees with another person, does not mean they are lefty liberals.

Both ABC and MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for giving Ann Coulter free air time so she can spout her hateful commentary. After listening to last night's (June 27) World News Tonight, and this morning's (June 28) GMA interview with Elizabeth Edwards, I have decided that I have watched ABC News programming for the last time.

Media Matters' contributor Eric Boehlert pegged ABC well in "Lapdogs" - they're nothing but a shameless shill for the GOP and the Bush Administration. I'm not particularly fond of NBC, either. I will get my national and world news from the best program on the air: PBS' "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer". Conventional news sources have proven time and again that they're crap.

I think Ann Coulter has a point.

How can Bill Maher (his comments about VP Cheney), Rosie O'Donnell (her comments about our troops), etc. say whatever they want but no one can voice their opinion on these comments made from the far-left?

Do I think Ann Coulter becomes very easily heated about her position, of course...

Do I think that this was a political move for Elizabeth Edwards to call in and "whine" on-air for Ann to be "nice", of course...

The only people that truly complain are the left and they have an open forum in the media to voice whatever they may like, especially when degrading our commander in chief, President Bush. The right under most conditions mind their business. But when they do voice their position as Ann does, people take what she says completely out of context.

Thank The Good Lord for Elizabeth E.
Courage to stand up and be counted- for RIGHT"
Ann Coulter is a prime example of what is wrong in America today-
People who really Care about the conditions of todays world had better start having the courage that Elizabeth did-
PLEASE AMERICA DO NOT BUY THAT COULTER BOOK-- THATS THE ONLY WAY, ADVERAGE AMERICANS CAN SHOW HER- JUST WHAT WE THINK ABOUT HER

First of all, shame on you ABC and Chris Matthews. I certainly HOPE Ann Coulter had advance warning as did Mrs. Edwards....but I think is a safe assumption that she did not. I understand and agree with Mrs. Edwards in that the "tenor of the dialogue" going on in this country should be changed. However, until she calls, visits or discusses this issue with the Rosie O'Donnell's, Michael Moore's, Nancy Pelosi's, and Bill Moyer's, it if completely unfair to put the sole responsibility of this change on Ann Coulter. The Left is the group who started this abrasive and negative type of dialogue and now the Right is taking all the flack for defending itself. To make a change....start with the source!

I will defend the First Admendment to my grave, but I do not think our forefathers had hate mongering in mind. Coulter is an embarassment to the female gender, and anyone who buys into her crap lowers themselves to her level, which is very, very low. No class, no tack, no integrity. Although I am sure by the arrogance Coulter reflects she believes otherwise.

I usually turn the channel when Coulter is on promoting herself,because im not buying.Edwards is right,we need to change our dialog if the country is to survive.

How does Ann Coulter justify being a working adult in America? She lives off denigrating others in order to get attention focused on herself. Is this any way to make a living? To me, this is a parasite.

I completely agree with Mrs. Edwards. The focal point of the election should be the issues concerning our future and not the irrelevant topics Ann uses to draw attention to herself. It is obvious that Ann is doing things to promote her book. I commend Elizabeth Edwards for stepping up to defend her family and make a difference.

The news organizations need to step up and "do the right thing." Stop giving the Ann Coulters of the world a forum. Stop the hate filled speech, and promote debate on issues and ideas. Healthy debate is necessary, but hate filled speech is devisive, and will lead to horrible actions, I believe. The networks need to lead the way, and place intelligent, educated, articulate, and calm people on the air.

I can't help wondering if Ms. Edwards will also place a call to Bill Moyers for his comments i.e., he wishes Dick Cheney had been killed by terrorists or any of the other liberal pundants who have free reign and can say any hateful thing they want as long as it denegrates conservatives, Christians, etc. Will she place a call to Rosie O'Donnell, surely nobody is more hateful than that women. I'm waiting to hear those calls from Ms. Edwards.

Ann Coulter has a right to air her opinions, I agree.

Ann Coulter is also a vile, hateful idiot. She proves it every time she opens her mouth. The more idiots talk, the more they show just how idiotic and ridiculous they are. What kind of person would take Ann Coulter seriously these days? Who would think that she's a "good American" or an "intelligent person?" Why would anyone give creedance or validity to one word that she says?

There was a classic line in Star Wars where Han Solo called Ben Kenobi a fool. Kenobi wisely asked, "Who's the bigger fool, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

We can easily ask the same thing about those who follow Ann Coulter.

Saw Elizabeth Edwards interviewed this morning. She compared her request to stop the personal attacks to the approach in the South to politely insist that people not engage in bigotted racial speech. It took many years in the South to make such comments unacceptable in polite conversation by Southern whites. Maybe she's on to something with her polite, but very public request to Colter, in an attempt to change the tenor of political debate.

Wow! A democrat demeans a republican and it's entertainment (see "Bill Maher"), but if a republican demeans a democrat...STOP THE PRESSES! WE HAVE A VILE CREATURE HERE WHO IS PREVENTING ANY MEANINGFUL POLICITAL DISCOURSE!!!! Please. Let's face it. Present day politics is not much more than another form of show business. And like other entertainers, pols are going to be jabbed, insulted and otherwise verbally abused. It's the reality of our time. The only true misdeed here is that neither side will draw attention to the name-callers in their own camp; as if they don't exist. And sadly, this week, that includes the left-leaning GMA. How about a little balanced reporting there, guys. You're sure making it sound like there's no republican bashing going on out there. (We know better.)

Chris Matthews gave airtime to Coulter,improving his own ratings. Coulter needs anger management classes, something is definately loose upstairs. Get help girl, there is still hope for you with the proper medication. I think shaking those long locks excessively has rattled your limited brain cells. Mrs. Edwards has exhibited, once again, what a classy lady she is by confronting this nut case Coulter and maintaining her dignity while doing so.

The best way to deal with the Ann Coulters and the Paris Hiltons of the world is to IGNORE THEM...They are just flip sides of the same coin:
Coulter is a vituperous, vicious long-haired skinny blond with nothing of real substance to say, and...
Paris Hilton is a vapid, vacuuous long-haired skinny blond with nothing of real substance to say.
SO WHY IS THE "NEWS" MEDIA SO GULLIBLE AS TO GIVE THEM SO MUCH AIR TIME??? I resent it, not just for the time it wastes and the stomach churning it brings on at the time of the broadcast, but the fact that it makes it necessary for me to take time after the fact to tell you, and other outlets, what should be obvious to you.

I have always been a Good Morning America viewer...I love Diane Sawyer, and Robin, Chris, and Sam, et al are people I enjoy sharing my morning with. However, I get the feeling that your producers must be twenty-somethings, given the musical guests you book for your concert series, etc...Do you really think that high-school aged kids, or even twenty-somethings, are watching even quasi-news shows at 8:30 in the morning???...NOT!!!...You might do better with musicians/groups that we Boomers grew up with (and I don't mean Barry Manilow)...As it is now, I generally turn you off during the last half hour, unless your giving consumer tips.
Just thought you'd like to know.

If Ann Coulter had responded to Elizabeth Edwards in a professional manner, it might have been an interesting debate. Instead, Coulter was smug and condescending. Asking why Edwards' husband hadn't been the one to call and saying that Mrs. Edwards was telling her to stop writing (which she wasn't -- she just wanted the personal attacks to stop) indicate that Coulter wasn't interested in dialogue, she just wanted to cement her self-styled image as a celebrity. That's not journalism. Political commentary and debate should be on the issues, not on nasty, self-serving cracks about the candidates.

Giving Ann Coulter airtime is like giving a Klansman airtime. Having Ann Coulter as a guest on your show speaks to your qualities as a human being and how you want to be perceived by the world.

She makes fun of dead children and 9/11 widows. Chris Matthews should apologize for even booking her -- just like the comedy club owner apologized after the Michael Richards outburst.

Having said all of that, think it *is* newsworthy that she is paid to speak at a Republican events. That tells me where they stand as a party.

Let me see if I can do something to purge the taint here. I'm a conservative Republican. Now you can label me "religious right" and put me in my box.
Elizabeth Edwards is right.
Ann Coulter is wrong.
The whole thing is disgusting.
I don't CARE what her motives are; Elizabeth Edwards makes a valid point. How are we ever going to have meaningful political discourse in this country if we allow it to descend to that level?
True, sometimes political novices or the unsophisticated fall for the pandering and disgustingly disengenuous pitches we hear every election season. And yes, the media, especially television, often edits, condenses, and packages complicated issues in a manner that is, to put it mildly, deceitful.
"People tend to get the government they deserve," the old axiom goes. Be astute. Pay attention. Do your homework. Study the issues. Decide for yourselves.
But how do personal attacks and trivializing personal tragedies elevate the political discourse? How does it motivate the politically naive to sharpen their discernment by following the campaign more closely?
When people like Ann Coulter create such a foul stench around an already-unpalatable process, it only serves to heighten the apathy and disengagement she rails against.

I am done with ABC and Good Morning America. Since Charles Gibbson left, the 4 idiots running that show are a embarrassment to ABC. The final straw was to let that idiot Coulter have any air time. I am glad so many papers got rid of her! She is the worst thing ABC could let on the air. Hear me ABC... I am done with Good Morning America. There is no place to turn any more for the news. You want a younger audience... you got it. You have turned your backs on loyal views of many years to be grab ratings. Good bye!

Making negative comments about the Bush administration is not "hateful." It is a legitimate statement of belief in a functional democracy--even if it is taken to level where they are accused of being war criminals, for instance. This is simply not analagous to Coulteresque rant. Sorry right wingers; unless someone goes off on the Bush twins--you'll just have to come up with something else.

I got to laugh at all you libs insulting Ann, you complain that she insults but yet all of you libs are insulting her worse then she has ever.

Hypocrisy is the golden rule of libs!!!

She is an intelligent and sencer lady who does not hide behind lib political correctness.

Lets see the libs ambushed her, she was there to talk about her book, but she handled herself with class. Edwards should be ashamed for using his wife as an attack dog. Very Presidential YEAH RIGHT!!!!!

Ann Coulter is simply a disgusting human being. My God, I cannot believe the media would allow such despicable comments to be aired on their networks! I wasn't sure exactly who I would be looking forward to seeing in the Presidential campaigns, but if the Edwards' team has as much class and dignity as Mrs. Edwards alone, it is going to be a great election year. Ann Coulter, shame on you, you are disgusting and ugly by the words you spew. Try having an intelligent conversation for once.

If GMA has Ann Coulter on at any time in the future, I will write BOYCOTT letters to all of the GMA advertisers.

Everyone knows that Anne Coulter is nothing more than a piece of poor trash. She's not that great of an editor, so she uses her fat mouth to sell books. What she said about John Edwards and his son is simply appauling! It's also alarming that no one from the Republican party has denounced her trash talk, but then again we should not be surprised as most of Republicans feel the same way. However the media is just as much to blame as she is. They allow her on every conservative show to spew her venom. It's a shame that Elizabeth Edwards is battling incurable cancer and has to deal with this blond bimbo! Anne just remember, what goes around comes around. Mrs Edwards I'm praying for you and your family!

ABC News should not take Ann Coulter,s comments out of context, she made a good point useing quotes from Bill Mehr.

Why are you giving Ann Coulter access to the media?, she has done nothing to offer her opinion as any type of expert, or, anyone that counts.
Spot covering her and lets talk about something real.

Ann Coulter has a right to her opinion, she even has a right to voice that opinion. That's part of what makes America and why so many want to live here. Ann Coulter seems like an intelligent person and I understand that she received a quality education. Unfortunately, while growing up and getting her education, no one bothered to try to attempt to teach her respect and common sense. During all of her attacks, which admitedly I know next to nothing about, only caught today's segment, she has neither. I would also guess that she doesn't have children or much of a family because a person couldn't make remarks about someone dying or should have died. I am the mother of two small children whol has to live with the death of their father every day. Know one deserves to die because of their political beliefs, even Ann Coulter. I agree, we have to stand up to the bullys of this world, but please at some point, she just simply needs her mouth cleaned out with soap.

Mrs. Edwards has a lot of class, in the way she handled herself against Ann Coulter. We are just a middle class construction worker family who vote. She handled what the woman said a whole lot better than I would have. The woman is doing all this talking to sell her book, and by golly she is doing it. The smart educated american people will see her for what she is, a touble maker trying to make a name for herself. Just give it a little time and she will be gone like all the other idiots who run their mouths and say nothing. The only problem with Ann Coulter is she is saying hurtful things and this should be sensored by the media. She is nothing but a trouble maker and it bothers me that she is getting all this attention. I think she owes Mrs. Edwards a very big apology for the meaness she is spouting.

You libs make me sick. Liberals are the most intolerent, hateful, mean-spirited bunch of people you will ever hear whine.

ohmygosh! Ann Coulter the saint! please...she gives women a bad name...and all that hair and little black dress, who cares?...who appointed the spokesperson for the right???? actually who appointed her anything???

Thank you Elizabeth Edwards. Not that I'm a John Edwards fan, I am just so tired of Ann Coulter spewing her baloney. Legitimate discussion or debate of issues is what we have to get back to in American politics and not this personal attack stuff. I'm sorry that ABC sees fit to even have Ann Coulter on their Good Morning America program. The more the media caters to her hateful banter the more they attempt to legitimize her - which simply isn't possible.

It's a shame that Active Patriot can't get it through his head that calling Bush a political thief, the world's #1 terrorist, and that he starts wars for oil is just as vile and hateful as anything the 'pubs have put out, if not more as it's been protested louder and more constantly. It's not a legitimate political disagreement. Approximately 1 in 4 Democrats believes 9/11 to be an inside job. They're unhinged lunatics who will stop at nothing. These ARE shameless political attacks (and the Dems think the 'pubs are bad for fear-mongering? Yeesh), NOT legitimate disagreement.

ann coulter over stepped her bounds. I hope john edwards gets it for president
good luck and god bless you edwards family

I think the press needs to stop giving Ann Coulter any type of attention. Stop inviting her on your show as it just doesn't seem to bring out anything constructive. Press time for Ann = $$$ for her. Hit her in the pocket book by not giving her free publicity.

Of course you won't be a hypocrite Rivera. You'll be consistently in step with the nasty banter of the Democrats!

It is so sad and pathetic that a man running for prez would have to hide behind his wife's skirts. No matter what you think of Ann. Not to mention, the Edwards have been the ones to exploit their dead son for votes. How sick is that. Ann might be nasty, but she really hit the nail on the head with that bumper sticker joke. EE was just being self-serving, clean up your own porch before trying to sweep someone else's. No way would I vote for such a weak man that his needs his wife to act like his mama to protect him. The whole thing makes me sick. I have more respect for Ann than the Edwards. They are a joke.

Truly a pathetic piece of biased reporting.

The only consolation is that the public is not quite as dumb as Tapper looks. The Edwards family are a bunch of charlatans as well as ABC News. What a joke.

Thank God for the remote control.
One click and Ann Coulter is gone.
Too bad it's not forever.This hateful person does not deserve any air time.
It will be a better world not having to listen her. Click click Ann, you are out of here!!!

why use ugly words? what does this teach our children.

I strongly object to your ABC NIGHTLY NEWS coverage of the COULTER-EDWARDS confrontation. You inferred that EE made the call in her husband's service . . . I say she made it for all of us who object to the low level of politcal rhetoric Ann Coulter epitomizes. This country has so many pressing problems and we desperately need to have a CIVILIZED DIALOGUE about them. Ann Coulter is just interested in selling books. Kuddos to EE. My only regret is that AC will get more publicity from this!

I, as an American citizen, sometimes wish we didn't have so much freedom of speech! When people like Ann Coulter open their maouths all I can think of is "Put a plug in it"! This woman is a disgrace to all Americans and I wish she would just disappear from the media but knowing the media she will be around as long as they allow garbage like her and her trashy mouth!

The Edwards campaign set up that whole encounter with Chris Matthews so that the next day the Edwards website could whine about WHATEVER Ann Coulter said. Edwards raised lots of bucks the last time Coulter remarked, and they'll raise a lot more now. It's sad that Edwards sent his wife to do the confronting that he should be doing. Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

Ann, Stop playing with your hair, your not that pretty!

ANN COULTER, OH GOLLY GEE WHERE DOES ONE BEGIN? ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS CORRECT IN THE SOUTH IF SOMEONE IS USING ILL MANNERS WE DO ASK THEM TO STOP AND WE DO THIS VERY NICELY .... THE FIRST TIME. ELIZABETH WAS RAISED UP RIGHT AS WE SAY HERE IN THE SOUTH. BUT THERE ARE THOSE OF US LIKE MYSELF THAT ONCE A PERSON HAS BEEN ASKED NICELY THEN WE TEND TO GET A LITTLE BIT TESTY. IN OUR BEAUTIFUL MOUNTIANS OF NORTH CAROLINA WE HAVE A WAY OF DEALING WITH POISIONOUS SNAKES MEAN DOGS AND PEOPLE THAT REALLY TICK US OFF. SNAKES WE USUALLY GRAB THE GARDEN HOE AND CHOP OFF THE HEAD BUT IN ANNIES CASE SHE WOULD BE LIKE THE HYDRA ANOTHER WOULD QUICKLY GROW IN ITS PLACE. ( YES ANNIE WE DO KNOW ABOUT GREEK MYTHS) THE MEAN DOG. WE CHAIN IT UP IN ISOLATION TO CHECK FOR RABIES. THE MEAN PEOPLE WELL WE JUST PUT THEM IN WITH THE DOG AND USUALLY THE DOG IS CRANKY BEING CHAINED UP AND ALL AND HE DELIVERS A BITE. WHEN IT TESTS POSITIVE FOR RABIES WE SHOOT THEM BOTH. HOWEVER IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT WOULD BE TOUGH TO TELL WHO HAD THE RABIES FIRST AND WHO BIT WHO FIRST!

Ann Coulter is a mean spirited and ugly excuse for a human being. I am so tired of seeing her on the cable news networks spewing all kinds of hateful garbage. Her constant hair flicking is so immature.

Stoic Patriot posted: "The Democrats have loudly protested that Bush "stole" the election, and that he is the world's #1 terrorist, that he is both an idiot and the world's most sinister man who tricked everyone into fighting his "war for oil" (so much for not being hateful!)."

It's shame that people can't distinguish between legitimate poltical disagreement and shameless personal attack, which is probably where Ann Coulter's 'base' come from. Someone is buying those vile, hateful rants.

There are legitimate issues in whether Bush won the election, his reasons for going into Iraq, and his administration's competency. That debate is the essence of democracy.

But there is no excuse for gleeful remarks about the death of another's child. Yet apparently some can't tell the difference, and the AC's of the world make money by selling hate to those who can't.

I stopped watching NBC morning and evening news because of the 90 minutes of irresponsible garbage they chose to talk about. WHY would you contaminate your positive program by bringing Ann Coulter to your show! She is the Paris Hilton, anna nicole smith, Inside Editon. Judge Judy and Katie Couric We have soldiers dying in Iraq I am deeply disappointed in your choice of news worthy topics. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Ann Coulter is a pathetic individual why does anyone give her air time. What a cheap shot to throw your public viewing audience!!!

I beleive Ann will be on the Billy O` Reilly show tonight. More nonsense from the lips with no service.

She is a media parasite, Period. But that's why so many people keep the putrid fire that is Ann Coulter alive, because she shocks us. Lets face it, what shocks us fascinates us. Take heart, Elizabeth Edwards, I think it would be worse for your husband if Ann had a positive opinion of him. I shudder to think of what it would take to impress this media harlot.

I want to thank Chris Matthews for showing us the true side of ann coulter. I thought about the program for a while afterwards and have come to the following conclusions. In general, she came across to me as a teen-ager. One of the blogs refers to her as ann-erexic and after her many "chubby" references in discourse, I believe she really does have a problem with weight. The constant hair tossing is very much a teen's call for attention. The short skirt and constant leg crossing reminded me of the movie scene with Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas--again, a call for attention. After Elizabeth Edwards called Ann on her performance, the sun glasses went on as a way of screening herself from the criticism. The very rapid speech and not directly answering the questions--again, very teen-ager behavior. She prides herself on being biased, prejudiced, and closed minded; and she has the nerve to call others godless.

I'm done watching ABC "news" shows. I'm done watching or listening when Ann Coulter is on. She's a venomous snake. Any network that puts her/him on should stop claiming they report news and just call themselves an opinion network. Get real, ABC! Nobody takes any of the major networks' news shows seriously anymore. Shows like yours are why.

I personally think Coulter is a closeted lesbian. That's where all the agression is coming from. She's merely projecting.

Good for Elizabeth Edwards. Political dialogue/debate is great. But Ann Coulter takes this to a new low...actually lower than low. She just spouts garbage off the top of her head..and folks actually listen to this junk. Whatever happened to having a conscience? I'm sure Ann Coulter wouldn't want someone calling her names or talking about her dead child. Does Ann Coulter thinks she's cute with this stuff? I don't and I'm sure most people, even those that agree with her politics, would agree.

Ann Coulter needs to learn some manners. She is an aging woman who hides behind that hair that she constantly shakes around. If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. What comes out of her mouth makes her a very ugly person.

I dont care for Coulter but even if I did attacking someone personally is taking things too far. And as for the gentleman who wrote it's laughable for elizabeth to call i think she handled it very well as she stated this was a problem she had with ann and if another woman made the comments ann made to my husband and about my personal family issues i would feel it is more my place to say something than my husband.

Ann Coulter is, without a doubt, a REAL piece of work! "I don't mind you raising money." As though she had a RIGHT to mind!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT a condesending, self righteous BITCH it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coulter, yah make me wanna PUKE, yes indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ann Coulter is a guy in drag.

Regardless of where you come out on Coulter, the fact that the wife of a presidential candidate is calling a television show and asking a political commentator to stop commentating is laughable. Can't wait till John's mommy calls in... Chris Matthews rating will go through the roof!

I switched off Fox News a long time ago because of people like Coulter. Now I'll just turn off MSNBC, too. No loss, I only watched it for K. Olbermann anyway and thought Matthews should have retired years ago!

I am very disappointed in Chris Matthews even having her on -- was she paying for the spot to promote something she is selling???-- I actually turned CNN on when I saw her --that is what people should do -- let her go to Fox -- she is a very vengeful person full of hate and I don't like to watch her

Stop buying her books! Turn off the TV when she comes on. In other words, ignore her!!!!!

Stop buying her books! Turn off the TV when she comes on. In other words, ignore her!!!!!

Free speech is an invaluable right, but it's how you use it that defines who and what you are. Coulter's uses viciousnes to cover up her lack of intelligence and willingness to outright lie -- even when confronted with her own printed words. Tim Russert, for one, has called her on her untruths more than once. And for those who bemoaned her being "bushwhacked" -- she would have, and has done, the same thing given the opportunity. The War on Terror is not a bumpersticker war, but our going into Iraq had nothing to do with terrorists until this administration turned it into a recruiting ground.
