By James Michael Nichols
It wouldnt be a devastating storm without someone trying to blame the gays!
Yes, everyone, Ann Coulter is back at it. This time the right-wing media pundit is using Twitter to insinuate that Houston electing a lesbian mayor is a more likely explanation for Hurricane Harvey than climate change.
Yep, you read that right.
The mayor in question is Houstons Annise Parker, one of the first openly gay mayors of a major U.S. city.
Coulter is no stranger to making anti-gay claims. Shes previously said that gay marriage is not a civil right and stated that sexually active gay men should feel guilty about it. This is all the while trying to appeal to a subset of conservative gay, white men.
Thanks ever so much for helping the victims of Harvey know where to place their blame, Ann!

(51,584 posts)Last time I replied to an Ann Coulter post it was taken down by the powers that be for being "inappropriate". I read a lot worse than mine before and since but I will not repeat it since I do not want to be kicked off DU forever.

(10,419 posts)She reminds me of L*****i B**b, the self absorbed snot from my high school days.
When she was running for high school council president, she appeared in the obligatory skit atop a surf board held aloft by several guys. They tipped her and she fell, to the total delight of the student body.
One of my few pleasant high school memories.

(90,762 posts)cleaning the house daily, making sure dinner was on the table on time, rearing polite and ultra-clean children, and never ever intruding on her hubby's peace with her problems, America would be disaster-free today.
Truly. Ann Coulter has been the cause of all disasters in America. It's why she lashes out at others. Her guilt at not fulfilling her rightful duty.
Sad.
