Coulter: ‘Not a gun problem,’ U.S. has ‘demographic problem’ with non-whites


Ann Coulter is insisting that guns don’t kill people, non-white people kill people.

The conservative columnist on Monday told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the country had a “demographic problem” because “white populations” in the U.S. and Belgium had the same low murder rate.

“As you know, I just got back from England,” Coulter explained. “On the gun crimes, we keep hearing how low they are in Europe and, ‘Oh, they’re so low and they have no guns.’ If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium.”

1. Well There You Go, Gun Enthusiasts.

Your Lady Of The Blessed Hi-Cap Magazines has spoken. If you're known by the company you keep, you folks are well and truly fucked.....

[zappaman]

2. Who's Ann Coulter?

Sounds like someone to be taken seriously!

[Matariki]

12. +1

I think she may have been some sort of child star from the 80's who developed a crack and prostitution problem

[joeybee12]

3. Can we all get a DU reprieve and post what we REALLY want to call her?

And not get banned????

[Hugabear]

4. Racist gun nuts? Surely you must be kidding!

Who would have ever thought that gun lovers could also be racist?

[SummerSnow]

38. She's a bridge troll

[Boomerproud]

6. England let her in?

[tabasco]

7. I'm still waiting for her book to come out

on the heroics of the Canadian army in Vietnam.

[laundry_queen]

29. LOL

ah, the look on her face at that moment in that interview.....

[GObamaGO]

8. What a steaming pile of shit she is.

[brush]

42. Perfect description of her

I think she sits up at night trying to think of the most outrageous thing she can say the next day, regardless if it's factually based, and then does it. She is, as you said, a steaming pile of shit.

[rocktivity]

9. "Down, girl!"

"DOWN!"

18. You're being gratuitously unkind to Afghan Hounds.

At least, I think it's an Afghan Hound. (The one on the right.)

11. Annthrax obviously has a problem with non-whites

[Zen Democrat]

13. America has a Coulter Problem, if you ask me.

Give her no notice. She LIVES to stir up controversy.

[Raffi Ella]

14. rofl. This is really too good to be true.

Dear Ann,

Thank you!

Signed,

a Democrat.

[tanyev]

15. Because murders of non-whites just don't count.

Thanks for expressing that so clearly, Annie.

[Paladin]

21. That's The Attitude Of Some DU Gun Enthusiasts.

The dog whistle phrase is "gang-related." If a shooting death is perhaps "gang-related," it doesn't matter to these people.

[MightyMopar]

22. They do go to great effort to segregate "urban" shootings from the overall carnage

Paladin, you have have their M.O. down pretty good. Because the victims tend to be black, brown, yellow or poor whites they want to separate this violence to minimize the effects of guns on society as whole. They also militantly object to counting teenagers as kids.

[Paladin]

24. Yep. Pretty Sleazy. (nt)

27. if law abiding folks don't have guns

only thugs will have guns

eta sorry this was sarcasm and it wasn't clear. I was making fun of the type of euphemisms people use, white people with guns = law abiding, black people with guns = thugs.

Here's the smilie-

[Paladin]

31. Is That An Original Thought? Did You Just Come Up With That One?

Because it sounds like the same old NRA deflection talking point I've heard for the last forty years or so. I'm a gun owner, and I've never advocated depriving the law-abiding of self-protection. Not once. Gun control is not the same as gun elimination---not that making that painfully obvious point ever seems to make a difference with folks like you.....

[d_r]

36. sarcasm, sorry it wasn't clear

[Paladin]

43. Mea Culpa.

You spend enough time arguing with Gun Enthusiasts, you start to lose your ability to detect sarcasm. Sorry about that.

[d_r]

44. hey no problem nt

[Squinch]

32. Law abiding folks like Mrs. Lanza?

Really, you are going to have to come up with something else. Something that actually pretends to make sense.

[d_r]

35. sarcasm, sorry it wasn't clear

[Squinch]

37. Oh, shoot. Now I'm really sorry I snarked.

[d_r]

39. no worries nt

[Berserker]

28. That's the same kind

of Bullshit hate speech ann coulter spreads you must listen to her a lot.

[Paladin]

30. Get back to me with something coherent, OK?

[hack89]

45. It matters a lot

we just wonder why it is that assault weapons generate so much angst and vitriol when they are not the weapons that are killing Americans (especially African Americans) day in and day out.

An AWB will do nothing to reduce the two largest segments of gun deaths - criminal violence and suicides. It will do nothing to reduce mass killings for that matter too.

[BainsBane]

16. It is also factually inaccurate

in addition to being completely offensive. African Americans, in particular, are disproportionately victims of gun violence, but the majority of perpetrators are white.

[hack89]

34. Not true

2011 Murder offenders

White = 4,729 Black = 5,486 Other = 256 Unknown = 4,077

2011 Murder victims

White = 5,825 Black = 6,329 Other = 335 Unknown = 175

17. she sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo racist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Wow

Miss White bread from Connecticut just put her foot in her mouth after walking the cow pasture.

[cherish44]

23. Oh you should hear the people in my little farm town and the need to protect themselves from "thugs"

and "gangbangers" with guns...Yeah because there are so many gangs in middle-of-fucking-nowhere Bumblefuck. I'm sure if a black person even stops to pump gas in my town, the cops are "alerted" just in case. Ann Coulter is preaching to her ignorant fans when she says stuff like that.

[lunatica]

25. All those mass murders were just minorities in white face makeup

[SummerSnow]

41. It's the Al Jolson Syndrome ...reversed

[southernyankeebelle]

26. I don't know if this is true or not. But we have a white problem with white men who

are the ones doing the killing of mass murder. Just saying. I think that is a real problem. They seem to have the mental problems.

[Squinch]

33. I think we should put her, the NRA ad creators, Mr. Doughy Man who spent so much time spitting at

Piers Morgan, Mr. Inbred "I'm going to kill if they try and take my guns away" CEO of Stupid, and Rush Limbaugh in an arena somewhere, record what they say and publicize it all over America.

Democrats would never lose another election.

[lpbk2713]

40. If we could only find a way of ridding ourselves of RW nutjobs ...

[4Q2u2]

46. Pretty Hard to get behind that point

To just ignore a whole race of people justifies us not trying to make life better. Talk about Apples and Oranges, whites and non whites socio and economic back rounds are so far off, that makes her comparison specious at best and fraudulent at worst.
Should we then also just ignore the positive impact of these people as well. I saw a lot of those brown faces serving with me in Iraq, but a silver spoon from the burbs would never actually go out and meet other people. The only way she would encounter a minority is if they came to her, after getting thru security of course.

[maryland native]

47. ann coulter is a racist

At least there is no mystery about her.

Kinda nice not having to figure out exactly what she means.

I think we are going to see a lot more of this as we seem to be splitting along so many lines.

[stevenleser]

48. I think it is more accurate to say she is an expert at playing to the more base nature of her core

fans and if to do that it requires racism, she is all over that.

I think it is all a carefully scripted act.
