Ring of Fire: Diagnosing Ann Coulter's Mental Illness

[GoLeft TV]

This past Thursday, everyone's favorite wing-nut appeared on Fox News' 'Hannity' to discuss America's immigration crisis. The words that came out of Ann Coulter's mouth, however, were even crazier than her usual drivel.

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousin discusses Ann Coulter's bizarre comments, and attempts to diagnose her chaotic brain.

1. I think Coulter is a robot

That's why they call her Ann. Short for Android.

[Cleita]

2. Nah. They wouldn't have put crazy eyes on a robot.

Unfortunately, she's real.

[Scarsdale]

3. Easy

A few suggestions 1. Hoof and mouth disease? 2. Rode hard, put away wet? 3. Upset she lost the Triple Crown AGAIN this year?

[Cleita]

4. She wants Netanyahu as our President?

Imagine if he had our military and war arsenal. We would be at war all over the world where there would be any Muslims in residence. Just hand me a scalpel so I can open my veins now if we ever get anyone in office again like that again. He is no different than our Dick Cheney, but more dangerous. What Dicky did was out of greed. This asshole does his murdering for ideology.

Also, I don't think she's mentally ill. She's a hater who hates anyone who is not like her. Unlike a sociopath, who has no empathy for anyone, she is sympathetic to her own kind but hates everyone else. To me that's worse than a mentally disturbed person, who at least has a cause for their craziness.

7. Personality disorders are not mental illnesses. They are persistent, maladjusted behaviors.

They can only be treated with long term re-programming. They aren't amenable to medication, generally.

It appears to me a number of Conservative talking heads have personality disorders, narcissism being a prominent thread.

[paulkienitz]

10. she may have neither an illness nor a personality disorder

but instead, simply be the product of a set of incentives that have rewarded her with fame and money for offensive behavior.

The only major right wing blowhard who ever makes me suspect genuine mental difficulty is Glenn Beck. The rest are doing what they're paid to do.

21. I agree with your analysis. Nt

[drynberg]

19. I'VE GOT IT!

Send Auntie Ann to Isreal, one way. She can live there forever. Bye Auntie.

[PatrynXX]

5. lol oddly

sounds exactly like my dad. and we have a paranoid skitzo line down his side.

which right now.. he basically assumes MY Chromecast is knocking him offline and I'm Doing it. Nevermind he asked for one a year ago and I got it for him for his Christmas present in December. Like I'd buy two for myself. Everytime the net goes down bang the worst scariest time of yelling you will ever here emits from the basement. I turn into tiny mouse and run.

[The Wizard]

6. If there was a God

Ann would be mopping stalls at a Calcutta peep show.

[TygrBright]

8. Could we PLEASE stop equating irrational, hateful actions and words with mental illness? n/t

[mimi85]

9. You're right.

It seems as if the people with mental illnesses are one of the last groups of people that are still on the "make fun of" list. If anyone here has someone in their family or knows of someone with a mental illness, they wouldn't think it was so funny. And I think that's probably just about everyone.

[mopinko]

11. yes please.

miss the hot tub more every day around here.

[chervilant]

16. And, could we STOP with the sexist and misogynistic comments, please!

Doesn't take much brain power to think of legitimate observations about Coulter that ARE NOT sexist!

[Psephos]

17. This. n/t

[muntrv]

12. Coulter does not have a brain.

[Fred Sanders]

13. Here is a wild idea. How about we not repost RW crap talk here? Leave that to HuffPo?

Thread trashed.

14. Most mentally ill people aren't total assholes

They just don't know what the hell they're doing if they are running around untreated. Coulter knows exactly what she's doing and the detrimental effect it has on political discourse in this country. She knows her job is to spread bullshit far and wide. She probably doesn't even believe in what she's saying, but I guess the money's good.

I have bipolar disorder that's been under control with treatment for the last 11 years. I know crazy or sane when I see it. Coulter is terribly cynical, but she's definitely sane.

[jimlup]

15. My hypothesis regarding Coultergist is that

She doesn't believe a thing that she says. She's a closet liberal who's decided to she wants a slice of the $ pie and has thus sold out. She's actually smart enough to recognize that if she says outrageous things people will believe and listen to her and even pay her to say it.

This would explain some of her robot like behavior. Anyway, just a hypothesis.

[DesertDiamond]

18. Totally OT, but I see she still has the Adam's apple.

[bayareaboy]

20. My sediments exactly...

I heard that Bill Maher has dated her. Perhaps he might give up the facts.
