Coulter just called herself the right wing Mark Twain.

[Fridays Child]

On Lou Dobbs. Incredible.

[PWRinNY]

1. Female skeletor so full of herself

That must be why she doesn't eat.

[jonnyblitz]

2. and the right wing menckin. nt

[kevinbgoode]

46. She doesn't qualify as a journalist. . .nor as a writer.

She always sounds to me like she takes a few pills and mindlessly talks to herself - and that becomes a book.

I'm amazed the woman has the crass to talk about religion when she is single, in her 40's, and is obviously no virgin.

[muntrv]

3. Except Mark Twain's writings are worth reading.

[HeeBGBz]

50. And he wrote his own stuff n/t

[tridim]

4. And the right wing Lincoln

Whatever that means.

Dobbs just said she's "intelligent". I think he wants to do her.

[jonnyblitz]

8. she said menckin as in H.L.

[tridim]

28. Thanks.. I misheard her.

Lincoln sounds a lot like Mencken.

[muntrv]

10. Dobbs would need a lot of Viagra for that one.

I don't see how any male could get an erection over Mann Coulter.

[Minnesota Libra]

17. That thing actually claimed to be the "right wing Lincoln"???? Are.......

.....you serious???? This and Mark Twain???????? What's wrong with this picture???? :puke: :headbang: :wtf:

[WI_DEM]

5. Mark Twain just rolled over in his grave

Did she just admit that she writes fiction?

[im10ashus]

6. About sent me to mine.

Honest.

[tives12]

23. I had the exact same thoughts.

At least Twain advertised it as fiction. If Coulter said it was fiction, nobody would give a damn.

[Minnesota Libra]

7. What?? Are you serious??? Mark Twain could write and could.........

....tell a story, what the effing crap can it do other than spew hatred and lies??? :wtf:

[Rocknrule]

9. She's more like the RW Charles Manson

Oh wait, that's an oxymoron

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. I can agree with that.

She's the extreme polar opposite of everything that Mark Twain was.

[Armstead]

14. No....Mark Twain was clever

he could be scathing, but he did it with wit and intelligence.

All Annie knows how to do is say outrageous, offensive things. Could you ever imagine her writing a Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. Exactly.

Anne Coulter is the polar opposite of clever.

[brentspeak]

12. Mark Twain's response:

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

[im10ashus]

18. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

:rofl:

"...ignorant as the unborne babe! ignorant as unborn twins!"

[Minnesota Libra]

20. Oh perfect!!!! Thanks!!! LOL nt

[Fridays Child]

24. Touché.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

25. Twain, my favorite author

is also credited with saying "telling some people to be themselves is the worst advice you can give them". :)
I think he'd say something similar about Ann.........

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

26. dupe

dupe

[Edgewater_Joe]

13. When Heroin Strikes The Septum ...

You get mAnn Coulter.

Pathetic.

[KennedyGuy]

15. I can't imagine why the entire media is ga ga over this pig

Someone should put her up against, and on with some of these "happy" widows.

[Raster]

22. haven't you noticed the programs she infests NEVER match her up with

anyone that could eat her lunch. She is the most coddled piece of wormshit that infests the Tube. Tell you what, let me have five minutes on air with the whatever it is. Just five minutes...

[Gabi Hayes]

19. no offfense, but it's MENCKEN.....so much fun is made of ignoramo

freep spelling

this looks, well...you get the idea

mass edits on this, and other Coulter threads, maybe?

just sayin'......

[rocktivity]

32. "No one in this world, so far as I know, has ever lost money

by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."

-- H.L. Mencken, Chicago Tribune, September 19, 1926

:evilgrin:

[Fridays Child]

21. If she means that she's like mouldering bones in an old graveyard...

....I agree. :)

[murphymom]

27. The War Prayer

In your dreams, Ann.

Here's an excerpt from Twain's The War Prayer:

http://www.libertystory.net/LSDOCTWAINWARPRAYER.htm

snip

    An aged stranger entered and moved with slow and noiseless step up the main aisle, his eyes fixed upon the minister, his long body clothed in a robe that reached to his feet, his head bare, his white hair descending in a frothy cataract to his shoulders, his seamy face unnaturally pale, pale even to ghastliness. With all eyes following him and wondering, he made his silent way; without pausing, he ascended to the preacher's side and stood there waiting. With shut lids the preacher, unconscious of his presence, continued with his moving prayer, and at last finished it with the words, uttered in fervent appeal, "Bless our arms, grant us the victory, O Lord our God, Father and Protector of our land and flag!"

     The stranger touched his arm, motioned him to step aside -- which the startled minister did -- and took his place. During some moments he surveyed the spellbound audience with solemn eyes, in which burned an uncanny light; then in a deep voice he said:

     "I come from the Throne -- bearing a message from Almighty God!" The words smote the house with a shock; if the stranger perceived it he gave no attention. "He has heard the prayer of His servant your shepherd, and will grant it if such shall be your desire after I, His messenger, shall have explained to you its import -- that is to say, its full import. For it is like unto many of the prayers of men, in that it asks for more than he who utters it is aware of -- except he pause and think.

     "God's servant and yours has prayed his prayer. Has he paused and taken thought? Is it one prayer? No, it is two -- one uttered, the other not. Both have reached the ear of Him Who heareth all supplications, the spoken and the unspoken. Ponder this -- keep it in mind. If you would beseech a blessing upon yourself, beware! lest without intent you invoke a curse upon a neighbor at the same time. If you pray for the blessing of rain upon your crop which needs it, by that act you are possibly praying for a curse upon some neighbor's crop which may not need rain and can be injured by it.

     "You have heard your servant's prayer -- the uttered part of it. I am commissioned of God to put into words the other part of it -- that part which the pastor -- and also you in your hearts -- fervently prayed silently. And ignorantly and unthinkingly? God grant that it was so! You heard these words: 'Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!' That is sufficient. the whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory -- must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!

     "O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle -- be Thou near them! With them -- in spirit -- we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it -- for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

     (After a pause.) "Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!"

     It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic, because there was no sense in what he said.

[Joe Chi Minh]

29. Yes, indeed, timeless writing. Before ever cuneiform existed, she

wrote. With just a chisel, a rock and a very fetching hide garment.

[originalpckelly]

30. Wow! I never knew Mark Twain was a bitch...

now I do. Thanks Ann.

[hyphenate]

31. Mr. Clemens must be spinning in his grave

I hope that he has some influence if there is an afterlife. I hope he can put in a few "good words" so that AC will end up in the deepest bowels in hell.

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. She's a Twain wreck.

[Mythsaje]

42. That made me laugh out loud...

:rofl:

[Mad_Dem_X]

54. LMAO!

I tell ya, she's got some b...uh, nerve saying that!!

[spanone]

34. She's so wrong.

[Justitia]

35. The Freak has Delusions of Grandeur, Dobbs looked like he was in LOVE. nt

[WiseButAngrySara]

36. Dobbs also compared her to the antithesis of M. Moore, to which she

took great umbrage! Pompous Bitc.....!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1386122

Keep this kicked for DU action against Dobbs!

[Beaverhausen]

37. Did Dobbs agree with her?

[Swamp Rat]

38. And I'm Jesus Christ!

Or am I Goddammit? :D

[devilgrrl]

39. The fact that she's given air time is more repugnant than she is...

who cares what the toxic gasbag has to say about anything?

[omega minimo]

40. I hear she's Twainsexual

"The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejuidice."

Mark Twain
- Following the Equator

[SalmonChantedEvening]

59. ROFL!!!

And a runaway twainsexual at that ;)

:hi: :hug: :pals:

[Sawkrates]

41. Oh God

Gag me...

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

43. Does that make Bush the right wing version of Gandhi?

45. Brace yourself.

What she's telling you is that her next book is going to be a right-wing rewrite of Huckleberry Finn.

In it, Jim gets caught early, Huck goes to jail for deviancy (the part about him dressing up as a girl is just WAY too gay for Ann's fans) and Ann uses the "N Word" thirteen hundred times.

[mvd]

47. This wretched woman is certifiably nuts!

And she should be treated as such.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

48. More like Huckster Finn, Or...

A Connecticut Banshee in King Chimpy's Court.

:evilgrin:

[omega minimo]

61. lol

heeeeeeyyyyyyy-- that's an insult to Banshee. (Banshi?) :evilgrin:

[elehhhhna]

49. At the moment I suspect they weigh the same.

[warrens]

51. Chicago Tribune agrees with me

More like Fred Phelps. From Neil Steinberg's column today (sorry, got it on Nexis, so no link)...

"How do you write about someone if you can't bring yourself to utter her name? I'm staring at a news photo of a certain loathsome bottle-blond Republican writer, her horsy face somehow thought to pass for pretty in political circles, which is like being the thinnest person at fat camp.

You've probably read about this venomous doxy, mocking the widows of victims of Sept. 11 for daring to lobby for a political end she opposes. "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," she writes in her latest bucket of bile between hard covers.

That's not just mean, it's crazy. Grieving activists certainly may be criticized -- anti-war mom Cindy Sheehan clearly liked the spotlight way too much, lingered there way too long, and said many jarringly stupid things in the process. That does not, however, translate into her being glad her son is dead.

This is the obvious latest chapter of Newt Gingrich's "call them traitors" approach to the Democrats that has so polarized and poisoned debate in this country for the last 10 years.

We have enough enemies vilifying our nation, and the fact that -- oh heck, gird our loins, hawk lustily onto the floor, and just say it -- Ann Coulter is only damning half of our beloved nation does not excuse her from the realm of mullahs and shrieking foreign mobs. She has earned herself a spot alongside Fred "God Hates Fags'' Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church, well outside the pale of human decency."

[ProfessorGAC]

57. Isn't Steinberg In The Suntimes?

The Professor

[warrens]

58. Woops, you're right

I was scrolling down and forgot which Chicago paper I was reading.

[InkAddict]

52. Some one needs to put some duct tape on her mouth

There's a difference between her and Mark Twain - he was intelligent.

Nevertheless, the more venom she spouts, the weaker THEY get!

[obreaslan]

53. She's actually the RW version of the Crypt Keeper....

[Jeffersons Ghost]

55. I heard her crap and I used to like Dobbs til he proved he was a whore...

pandering to the Reich wing.

[Fridays Child]

62. Lou can be a useful idiot but he's still an idiot.

And his pandering to Ann Coulter proved that.

[librechik]

56. Got the sex right, not the occupation

she's a propogandist, not a humorist.

[frankenforpres]

60. keep giving her the reaction she wants n/t
