Ann Coulter and the Port Deal
Hey, Ann Coulter has spoken out on the Port Deal, and it is, to a certain extent, not what the Bush Administration would like to see. I don't know if we are going to like it any more. Link --> http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/welcome.cgi

"The idea that the Democrats have any meaningful interest in America's national security is a joke, so I'm perfectly willing to believe there's more to this port story.

But Bush is going to need a better justification for turning over management of our ports to an Arab country than he's come up with so far — especially now that Jimmy Carter has said it's a good idea. Judging from his life's work to date, Carter's definition of a good idea is "an idea likely to hurt America and/or help its enemies."

. . . There are at least 3,000 reasons why a company controlled by a Middle Eastern Muslim emirate should be held to a different standard than a British company. Many of these reasons are now buried under a gaping hole that isn't metaphorical in lower Manhattan.

. . . Isn't it enough that we're already patronizing the savages over the cartoons? Do we have to let them operate our ports, too?
"

Ann Coulter, our ally against President Bush's crazy port scheme.

1. Ally my ass!
Her reasons for being against the port deal are racist. It has nothing to do with national security for her.

10. I don't think so
I don't think they will ask her too.

The Port Deal is a one time thing, her ability to encourage bigoted hatred of muslims would be compromised, and they might need that if they want to invade Syria or Iran.

33. Exactly
She is the one who doesn't give a damn about national security. And when is Annie going to jail for her voting fraud?

11. I love this line...
"The idea that the Democrats have any meaningful interest in America's national security is a joke"

She is so right. Every day I sit around wishing entire cities would be bombed and thousands of Americans would get killed. :sarcasm:

15. You may be joking but my guess is that plenty of
conservatives believe that's what we really do.

13. Daily dose of venom
First of all "Great British"?? Is that a place? Is this what they teach you at Cornell?

Also, I hope this gem gets her on a no-fly list: "Next time my sleep is disturbed by gibberish about our altitude over Kansas, the National Pilots Emirate embassy is going down."


Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Why does she hate America?

22. That is not true.
It would be nice to believe that Ann Coulter has no relevance, but I think that lets the modern conservative movement off the hook. Rather Ann Coulter is the embodiement of modern conservativism (or at least one key facet of it). For years, decades, conservatives have been articulating a scorched earth policy with regards to Liberals and other political enemies (no, not all conservatives and not all the time, but enough that it has been a consistent theme). Ann Coutler is just the logical extension of that philosophy.

So yeah there probably many consrvatives who disavow her - but plently more who think she's right on.

20. Ann Coulter..LOL
I am just as interested to know what the other guy from Wham or Mikey (The kid from the Life cereal commercials) has to think.

She is not worth paying attention to.

27. Ann Coulter, who has never had any meaningful interest in our country
gladly prostitutes herself in order to pad her bank account, confusing the notion of national security (like most Republicans) with her own. . .but that is to be expected when selfishness and greed are the only common ground most wingnuts have with each other.

29. There was a little speculation here on how Coulter would respond.
IIRC, the consensus opinion was about spot-on, right down to the meaningless jab at Democrats. By god, if Ann has to choose between Bush and racism, she's choose racism. Thankfully, she doesn't often have to choose since their interests seem to dovetail neatly more often than not.

I agree with her insofar as I think the port deal is asinine and treasonous.

32. People have been looking for it, and here it is
your perfect example of someone who hates the idea BECAUSE THEY ARE A BIGOT.

sheesh. people around here calling others bigots or 'islamophobes' but when someone who actually IS that way says something nobody calls her one.

figures.
