Clueless Coulter: Iraq Is Like California, "The Crips And The Bloods In Baghdad"




Voting fraud suspect Ann Coulter seems to be as clueless about the Iraq war as she is about how to lawfully register to vote. Last night (1/17/07) on Hannity & Colmes, Coulter made several ridiculously false statements about the Iraq war as she insisted to Alan Colmes that it’s going well. With video....

===
Democrat Jane Fleming argued against a troop surge by pointing out that we have already had two surges and that it did not help. Coulter interrupted to say sardonically, “It’s working just fine.”

Fleming continued, “We are losing Americans and Iraqis every day.”

“No, we aren’t,” Coulter said.

Fleming, astounded, asked, “We’re not losing Americans every day, Ann?”

“No, we aren’t at all,” she falsely said. Coulter might want to double-check her facts. As of January 17, 2007, 22 Americans have died in Iraq this month. That averages out to more than one a day.

“You live in never-never land,” Fleming told her...

===
“Basically, um, it is like California with Baghdad as LA with Hispanics, white and blacks.” She added, “You have the Crips and the Bloods in Baghdad. That’s where all the fighting is,” she erroneously said. Page 11 of the ISG report states, “Four of Iraq’s eighteen provinces are highly insecure – Baghdad, Anbar, Diyala and Salah ad Din.

Oh, and how many car bombs and IED’s are there in LA, Ann?

1. How dumb is Ann? More than dumb enough, apparently.

2. Well if it's just a gang war then WTF do we need any troops there for?
We can send the LAPD - they know how to deal with the Crips and Bloods.

3. Oh geez, she's back.
I'd thought that her criminal troubles were keeping her out of sight and off the airwaves. But no, like cockroaches always do, she's returned.

5. She's unhinged!
And she is frighteningly ignorant. There are surely many followers of the Ann who are equally irrelevant.

6. That's A Poor Analogy For Other Than Obvious Reasons
How long have the Crips and Bloods been killing one another and how long have the authorities been unsuccessful in stopping them.

7. She's not dumb, nor is she particularly ignorant.
She is a salesman and whore. This little performance seems pretty lackluster, though. Perhaps she doesn't have another book ready yet.

15. Exactly. There's an audience for her brand of "dumb,"...
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 12:52 PM by TWriterD
and Corporate Media trots her out for the 30%ers. As a matter of fact, I can hear my dumbass wingnut neighbor echoing the gang reference, then voting on it when the time comes.

18. Let them worship her all they want.
As far as I'm concerned she's the official spokesperson for the GOP. Every time she opens her mouth we should force other right wing pundits and politicians to endorse what comes out. She's pure poison and all we have to do is use it wisely.

20. Not an official spokesperson, but useful...
...in lowering the bar of discourse, certainly. As long as she's around, they don't have to be much better.

8. Hey, Bluebear, is that Coulter saying that classic line from "Bad Santa" ?
"Fuck me, Santa, fuck me, Santa"

Just wondering.

10. So, should we bomb California then? To bring democracy there?
I mean, they did install a puppet governator there, but it's still like Iraq....Freedom and Liberty should march their asses over there pronto!:sarcasm:

11. We don't have the US Army
stationed in the middle of the Crips and the Bloods, either.

So preventing gang violence in Iraq is more important than preventing gang violence in LA?

Haven't you seen West Side Story?

16. Both Crips and Bloods were heavily infiltrated
by intel operatives as part of Cointelpro, and both got the drugs they distributed from the CIA.

Coulter may be more correct then she intends to be.

19. Annthrax Coulter is being investigated for three felonies
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brad-friedman/new-coulter-voter-fraud-d_b_38469.html

Added to the previously known allegations of Voter Fraud when Coulter used her realtor's address instead of her own on her Voter Registration Application, is the allegation by the Palm Beach Police Department that Coulter seems also to have given that same, incorrect address when applying for a drivers license after moving to the tony Sunshine 'hood where her fellow GOP propagandist, Rush Limbaugh, has recently had his own troubles following the rule of law.

The allegation concerning Drivers License fraud would be yet another third degree felony, according to the Palm Beach Police Department report!

21. Not surprisingly, she has to throw in something about black people
when describing the violence in Baghdad.

Lions and tigers and Bloods and Crips...oh my!

Yup, Baghdad is very dangerous...yah know....just like how all the blacks make Los Angeles dangerous. :eyes:

What a b-word.

23. if that is true, then why not treat it with police instead of military?
Is she saying the situation is so mild in Iraq that it might as well be an urban crime situation, then why all the bombing and tanks? Should we bomb LA to solve the gang problem?

24. Ann needs to eat something - her blood sugar is dropping
and her brain is malfunctioning.

She probably doesn't believe in the holocaust either.

30. I guess if you ignore reality, then everything is just peachy. Maybe we
are the stupid ones, we should be watching American Idol and wondering what kind of new cell phone to buy instead of reading stuff on the internets and being one of them crazy liberals who hates the president. :sarcasm:
