Perfect me, Ann Coulter

October 26, 2007 11:33 AM

"Perfect me, make me petty, I want to be hateful just like Ann Coulter," sings Leah Kauffman.

Kauffman and her collaborators are probably best known for their "Obamagirl" video and song, but the latest offering takes on the controversial conservative pundit with a far more serious tone.

The song features clips of Coulter making some of her more offensive comments about John Edwards, Arabs, and the 9/11 widows. Playing off Coulter's recent pronouncement that Christians want to "perfect" Jews by converting them, Kauffman makes light of Coulter's imperfections.

You can watch it HERE.

Ann Coulter – anorexic, frigid, cross dressing, post-op transexual, face of and standard bearer for the Taliban wing of the Republican Party. It can now be revealed that Coulter once played `Cousin It' on the Munsters between 1964 and 1966 and was once employed by Cribs for Crippled and Dead Kids Casket Company where she modeled and tested up-scale children's caskets for their acoustic soundness and the integrity of their hermetic seals.

Yes it is true, ignorance offends.

Also, the truth is, this earth was created 6000 years ago (give or take) by GOD, whose son is Jesus Christ, and therefore also GOD.

If you can't accept that FACT, then you are just as stupid as the other libs, who place all of their faith in science and worship Darwin as their god.

It takes a very intelligent, articulate, and beautiful woman to know that something is a TRUE FACT, even when there is absolutely zero evidence to support it.

Ann is a woman of FAITH, and it doesn't matter whether she is correct about anything she claims, but whether she truly believes.

She may not be rewarded in this life with a husband or children, but she will receive the ultimate reward in the afterlife.

Ann Coulter is a good Christian, who goes to church every Sunday, obeys all of our laws, and is tolerant of all people and all views.

If you don't believe that, you're probably some stupid gay secular liberal muslim female jew atheist from the East Coast. Convert to Christianity before we bomb you, too.

Spock - I know exactly what the whole quote was - she said Maher was not joking about his Cheney remark, e.g., she was not joking about hers regarding Edwards. Besides, Coulter usually says some variation of "oh, I was just joking" whenever someone calls her on one of her offensive remarks. She is a hatemonger, among many many other things, and if she can say something like I am quoting, then I can say the same thing about her. Afterall, I am using HER exact words, so, I guess it's okay.

Posted by: Cammy61 | Oct 30, 2007 3:55:05 PM

Cammy61 - I want to say thank you for proving the point of taking something out of context and proven it, you left out the beginning of that statement when she stated Bill Mahr stating about Cheney being killed in a terrorist attack and nothing was said so .. then she said that.

Point Proven!

Posted by: spock | Oct 30, 2007 3:41:33 PM

They didn't get the message of this representation of Ann Coulter's remarks ... that Ann Coulter is not "perfected" through her intolerance and nonsense ... nothing is seen out of the constext that she initially spoke in.

Posted by: Kidding me? | Oct 29, 2007 6:08:51 PM

Ann Coulter's well researched books??? You mean like all the anti-evolution drivel which exposed her pitiful ignorance of the most basic principles of science? Bravo.

Posted by: Jerry Conne | Oct 29, 2007 2:46:02 PM

Well they say the Truth Hurts, So Ann must be speaking the truth because all these Libs are very hurt by it.

Reading all below the rants against Ann, shows that not one of the people ranting ever heard any of the whole speeches/interviews she has given. The are reading the Soros/Clinton Moveon.org or mediamatters websites where they put things out of perspective. They ignore the hate that their side really spurs (but again that is all lies so it does not hurt).

For some reason Libs can not fathom thinking for themselves and that is why they support the Organized Crime Syndicate know as Clintonia.

Posted by: spock | Oct 29, 2007 10:09:53 AM

Ann Coulter's comments were taken totally out of context. Here is the exact quote:

"But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

Clearly Ann Coulter was using her usual off-beat sense of humor to make a point that Bill Maher received little backlash for his remark.

Shame we can't have a new civil war and get rid of this bad blood once and for all. Red hates blue and blue hates red. A married couple would have divorced. Why can't Americans divorce the nation?

Posted by: Bill H | Oct 29, 2007 7:53:45 AM

I see most of the bloggers here are from the "Too ugly to date" by all the hate they spew at Ann Coulter and never once notice the fake, lying and manipulation of Obama Chic and her creators "as it fits their thought".......sort of like Bill Clinton attacking women was alright cause he was their guy.
I don't know if Jake Tapper is auditioning for a date with Ann Coulter, but this doesn't belong on a blog and is below journalism.
Who cares what a whining rather greasy faced Obama chic is ranting about, but then the bloggers here got sucked in and didn't notice Ann Coulter is portrayed as beautiful compared to liberals.

Gee maybe the Obama Chic is playing gotcha with some reactionary people who do not bother to think before they type.

Ann Coulter is going to be single for life. A long lonely road is what she deserves.

I support Congressman, Ron Paul for President. There is something homespun about Paul, reminiscent of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He communicates with his constituents through birthday cards, August barbecues and the cookbooks his wife puts together every election season, which mix photos of grandchildren, Gospel passages and neighbors' recipes for Velveeta cheese fudge and Cherry Coke salad. He is listed in the phone book, and his constituents call him at home. But there is also something cosmopolitan and radical about him; his speeches can bring to mind the World Social Forum or the French international-affairs periodical Le Monde Diplomatique. Ron Paul represents a different Republican Party from the one that Iraq, deficits and corruption have soured the country on. His school of Republicanism stands for a certain idea of the Constitution the idea that much of the power asserted by modern Presidents has been usurped from Congress, and that much of the power asserted by Congress has been usurped from the States. Though Paul acknowledges flaws in both the Constitution (it included slavery) and the Bill of Rights (it doesn't go far enough), he still thinks a comprehensive array of positions can be drawn from them: against gun control; for the sovereignty of states; and against foreign-policy adventures like the one underway in Iraq, and soon Iran.

Ann Coulter delights in all the controversy that she creates with her remarks, which are sometimes simply stupid. She is a very bright woman. A very vile one, but bright and says the most inane and/or hurtful things. It just charges her battery. She believes that she is so much smarter than her listeners, she says really dumb stuff because she is putting all her audiences down. Each time she opens her mouth, she feels a bit more superior.

Posted by: Marge Griffin | Oct 27, 2007 9:22:20 PM

As much as I like this video, I don't like the fact that once again attention is on Anne Coulter.

I think we know by now Coulter feeds on any kind of attention given, and grows faster on negative ones. At this rate this demonic attention whore will be larger than the entire planet and will consume us all.

Posted by: empraptor | Oct 27, 2007 7:43:26 PM

Ann Coulter is a money making scam artist. If she were really christian, she wouldn't be mouthing HATEFUL comments about others and putting down their RACE OR RELIGION. If she really believe in scripture, she would be more like the good samaritan when it comes to those of other faiths. I does WHITE christians good to REMEMBER that when Jesus told his apostles and deciples to go forth into the world to bring his word to all men whether they were Circumcised or not. And to take his word to all nations, there was no mention of WHITE ONLY! Nor did the word, nor the religion 'Christian' exists at that time YET. Try to remember, 'you can catch more flys with honey than with vinegar.'

Posted by: angelheart80153 | Oct 27, 2007 3:33:23 PM

Were it not so tragically sad, it would
be amusing for Miss Coulter and her fellow "Christian" believers to juxtapose their angry, shrill negativity with the loving messages of their Bible's four Gospels. Is it possible that she and her like-minded people-haters have never read about their Jesus in their Bible?

Posted by: Robert Routt | Oct 27, 2007 12:32:57 PM

Its no secret...Ann Coulter upsets the balance of moderate...stupidity..she does target the political wise cracks about freedom...her most obvious insults seem to contain the ability(wish)to end careers...her own has that "special" sense that all is right w/the world...if you lean on your wishes..
I quess then its a matter of right over wrong that Ann Coulter expects her comments to work alongside the "travesty" of reality...
I've never attended a Peace March...but I do believe in PEACE...I don't confuse subversion w/sentamentality....America does seem to have a confusion on the issue(resolute)that issues don't matter when CONSUMERISM(fulfills)needs over politics.

Ann Coulter has a much better sense of humor and is a far more interesting conversationalist than any of those shallow minded liberal woman in the media. You libs should read some of her extremely well researched books and find out why the rest of us admire her so greatly. She is a truth teller of the first magnitude.

Posted by: SunnyOne934 | Oct 27, 2007 2:00:30 AM

Ann Coulter is nothing more than a shock. The fact she is a female allows her to get away with comments others' (Imus comes to mind) would not. I would be willing to be that if she makes one of those comments about an african american, she will be properly flogged for her diarrhea mouth.

Oh and as for her making comments toward liberals because we cannot stand it, I happen to be a common sense oriented moderate and I don't like her either. If the right is proud of her mouth, they should get another hero.

Posted by: Julesverne | Oct 26, 2007 10:11:27 PM

Ann Coulter says things that hack off liberals. That is what she is guity of. She says things that others avoid because they don't want to offend. She sees through the hypocrisy of lefties and isn't afraid to call their bluff when they use gimmicks to avoid criticism. Get used to it because she isn't going away.

Posted by: Gary | Oct 26, 2007 9:46:39 PM

I just wish the video ended with mAnn Coulture getting a lifetime ban from opening her mouth again. If her and Bill o'riely had a child together, you would have to check the kids head for 666.

Posted by: logicaldiscourse | Oct 26, 2007 9:21:10 PM

Political Punch, if you are not going to allow the correction to The Remainder's taking Ann Coulter's remarks out of context, then I insist that you remove The Remainder's remark. You are perpetuating and condoning the lie if you allow this remark to stand while you censure the attempt to place Ann Coulter's comment into it's full context.

Posted by: James Danley | Oct 26, 2007 9:01:22 PM

Terrorists love the Democrats. This fact is most important.

Posted by: Rob | Oct 26, 2007 7:29:12 PM

I wonder how many of the outraged posters who screamed for Pete Stark's head have listened to the MANY insulting, villainous,venemous spewings of Ann. Where were they when Ann stated that she wished John Edwards had been killed by terrorists? To wish assasination on ANY candidate smacks of treason FAR more than Pete Stark speaking his jibe at King George the Worst.
So, Old Trooper, if Ann Coulter is a "hit" , you can realize that our Constitution has suffered that" hit"..
right between the eyes.

Posted by: The Reminder | Oct 26, 2007 4:19:01 PM

Rick Marts, I just want to be sure! Are you referring to Ann Coulter or Sen. Hillary Clinton?

Posted by: James Danley | Oct 26, 2007 4:01:50 PM

Ann B: You wrote: "I think they all need to grow up."-------------------->
If you mean those who have made comments here, you are correct. Coulter is a smash hit, and the Libs hate her for that!!!!


Posted by: TheOldTrooper | Oct 26, 2007 3:22:32 PM

Why would anybody pay attention to an ugly blond bimbo who suffers from mental constipation and oral diarrhea. She makes me want to puke.

Posted by: Rick Marts | Oct 26, 2007 3:20:40 PM

Saying that Coulter says things only to sell books is letting her off the hook for being racist. I think she is angry because she thinks she's pretty and smart enough to be admired and wanted. But because she's been reduced a tool for the far right and nobody wants to kiss her (because she isn't attractive), she's bitter. The bitterness is aimed at people she wished accepted her: liberals, non-Christians and married women.

Posted by: PJ | Oct 26, 2007 2:48:31 PM

Ann Coulter says stupid things to sell books and be a celebrity. She would have made Hitler blush,with her hateful rants. She's the darling of the Rightwing hate/warmongers.
