Ann Coulter's stunningly ignorant tweet.

[Drunken Irishman]

OBAMA ENDS CHARLESTON SERVICE WITH SONG WRITTEN BY A SLAVE TRADER. Shouldn't we ban "Amazing Grace," along with the Confederate flag?

Yes. John Newton, who wrote Amazing Grace, was a slave trader. But Amazing Grace is about his awakening - finding God, leaving behind the slave trade and becoming an abolitionist. He was lost, but now he's found - was blind, but now he can see.

What a wretched, wretched woman.

The Confederate Flag wasn't a flag of the South's awakening against slavery - it was the flag of a nation that fought to preserve slavery.

What a stunningly stupid comment - even for Ann Coulter.

1. Ann Coulter is a vile, vicious, disgusting waste of space.

Shame them, publicly

Call them what they fucking are

[hifiguy]

9. To quote the Spinal Tap movie

She continues to fill a much-needed void.

[lovemydog]

37. Ha!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. She should check her facts before she speaks

however the stupid will believe her

[JHB]

44. And that's why she doesn't care...

No one who pays attention to her is interested in careful consideration of all the facts.

Thus it plays no part in her business model.

[tabasco]

2. I would expect nothing better

from this verminous person.

[riversedge]

3. Ann Coulter IS stunningly ignorant

[gratuitous]

4. Translation from Coulterese

LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE!

Ouch. It hurts my brain to do that. Can we all just agree to ignore this vile woman and her increasingly desperate bids for attention?

[petronius]

5. Your subject line confused me, because it isn't plural

I did not know that about the song - thanks for the info!

[New Orleans Strong]

16. Ok. That was funny. touche! n/t

[jberryhill]

35. There's more than one Ann Coulter?

[petronius]

36. No, there's just one (too many) of her. But the notion of a single

stunningly ignorant tweet from that quarter is a jarring incongruity...

[treestar]

6. example of how a little knowledge

can be worse than none at all. She knew a little about him and so thought she had us there. But there was more to the story and she was wrong. Sucks to be her.

[Sheepshank]

7. can I assume someone has publically set her straight? n't

[Spazito]

11. Yes, Goldie Tayler did...

Goldie Taylor ?@goldietaylor 4h

John Newton was a slaver but, after converting to Christianity, he became an abolitionist. #historymatters

12. Bill Maher did,several times, last week on his show

but she argued with him, completely oblivious to the audience's dislike of her.
She is well defended against reality, and nasty, besides.

[betsuni]

27. I almost felt sorry for her last week because everyone just rolls their eyes,

her act is so old. There was a point when she was yammering nonstop nonsense where I drifted into a trance and I thought everybody on the panel did too for a moment, a place where you feel powerless to stop something and begin to think about your next meal or what's on TV later.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

59. "her act is so old."

All of the Right Wing's act is instantly recognizable because it's old and predictable.

And rejected by the Millennials.

Oh sure, you can still find a right-wing kid out there but they are a tiny tiny minority.

[YOHABLO]

32. She's a paid hater.

[hifiguy]

8. Can we send that creature back to

the planet Zargon, or wherever the hell it came from?

[First Speaker]

13. As a native Zargonite, I can assure you...

...you send that entity to us, we shall have no alternative but to destroy your planet...

[hifiguy]

14. We managed to deal with this guy

[Cha]

41. LOL

[jmowreader]

19. Why the hell do you think WE got her?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. Ann Coulter and ignorant

are redundant.

[tymorial]

15. She isn't going to let a little thing like fact get in her way.

EOM

[kairos12]

17. Coulter is a bomb thrower who immolates herself with profound ignorance. A Coulter cocktail.

[mackerel]

18. I guess that wretch, Ann Coulter, has yet to be saved.

[lastlib]

20. That would be REALLY AMAZING grace!!

Maybe even REALLY STUPENDOUS SUPER-Amazing grace!

[jtuck004]

22. Or maybe a fucking miracle. n/t

[mackerel]

34. Nah it will never happen, it requires reading comprehension.

[betsuni]

21. They never wait until the end of the story.

Didn't Sarah Palin use "Green Eggs & Ham" to mock the ACA without realizing that if the ACA were green eggs & ham, in the end the character likes it after he's tried it? But I guess it doesn't matter because Sarah and Ann's audience doesn't know anything either. No thank you, Ann-I-Am.

[Shrike47]

53. No, it was Ted Cruz.

[betsuni]

57. It was Sarah who used it specifically to attack "Obamacare":

"I do not like this, Uncle Sam, I do not like this healthcare scam."

[edbermac]

23. What about this tweet?

HUH??

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. I $u$pect $he know$ exactly what $he i$ doing.

profiting from hatred.

[DrDan]

43. of course she does - the more outrageous the better for her

[tblue]

26. The bar for her wasn't low enough I see.

Hateful useless thang.

[Raster]

28. Nothing like a stupid tweet from a twit.

[Atman]

29. It will help sell her next 64 page "book."

She doesn't even care what she says. As long as it brings in those dollars she hates.

[Depaysement]

30. To know her is to hate her

A vile persona and a bad . . . well, never mind.

[NancyDL]

31. Stupid, yes, definitely.

Stupid for Ann Coulter? No.

[Jefferson23]

33. If she did not say such things, how would she be able to sell books? n/t

[question everything]

38. Coulter and ignorant are redundant (nt)

[DFW]

39. Remember what happened to her chauffeur

One day, she was being driven from Connecticut into New York City, and due to road construction, there was a detour through a rural area. Coulter told her driver to step on it so as not to be late for her Fox Noise taping. He did, but as he was taking a sharp curve, there was an aging cow in the middle of the road, and he hit it full on. The limousine suffered a few dents, but the cow didn't survive the collision.

Coulter was furious, but the damage was done, so she ordered her driver to go the nearby farm house, tell them who he was and what had happened, and pay them whatever damages they deemed fair so they could be on their way again. The guy pulled the limo to the side of the road and walked on over to the house. He knocked on the door and was let in.

Ten minutes went by. Coulter sighed.
Half an hour went by. Coulter was getting impatient.
An hour went by. Coulter was getting angry.
Two hours went by. Coulter was steaming with rage.

Finally, at the end of two hours, the driver stumbled out of the house, his normally impeccable uniform and hair in disarray. Furious, she demanded that he explain what had gone on inside the house. He said he told them just what she had told him to say, and they sat him down, gave him a gourmet meal with vintage wine and champagne. Afterward, the eldest daughter, who was about 30, took him upstairs to bed for a wild romp.

Coulter couldn't believe her ears, although the man's appearance was in line with what he had said. She asked exactly what he had told them. He said, "I told them exactly what you ordered me to tell them. I said I was Ann Coulter's chauffeur, and that I had just killed the old cow."

[Ilsa]

45. That's hysterical! a keeper!

[Gothmog]

40. Coulter is not getting enough attention

[Cha]

42. she must figure her fans are as ignorant as she sounds. Or does she really give a shite as long

as she gets attention?

[MoonRiver]

46. I think her brain functions on the reptilian level.

[Ilsa]

47. A list of the blatant lies and stupid shit from that

Cow should be kept somewhere for entertainment.

[IronLionZion]

48. Ann and the freepers are still trying to tie it to the Dem party

They constantly claim that Democrats were the confederates and slavers and segregationists as if nothing has changed since then.

[MineralMan]

49. Not surprised. Coulter is stunningly stupid,

so when she says something that reflects that, nobody should be surprised.

[babylonsister]

50. I hear irrelevance and desperation. I am ignoring her, starting now! nt

[vinny9698]

51. Ann Coulter and her ilk, now better but are in it for the money

Where as can they a killing espousing right wing dogma?

[lunatica]

52. She's too stupid to understand the obvious reference of that song

She's probably smirking at her reflection in the mirror, thinking blacks don't know who wrote that song. What a fucking idiot!

[Liberal_in_LA]

54. she will say anything to sell books

[DawgHouse]

55. This, exactly!

[Kennah]

56. We all need to agree to stop

We have to stop saying, "There's no way the GOP can get any dumber."

They willingly accept the challenge.

[Bill USA]

58. based on her behavior I'd say she is very likely a victim of serious abuse as a young child.

[El Shaman]

60. She will age without

Grace.
