Coulter: NY Firefighters (who want to help) aren't really NYers

[babylonsister]

Radio Factor, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter opined that New York firefighters are "Americans" not New Yorkers and that citing them as an example of New Yorkers helping out victims of Hurricane Katrina is like "citing the Christian Club at Harvard." In making the claim, Coulter was defending claims she made earlier on the show to guest host Al Rantel that "I'm waiting to see if New Yorkers will run to support the suffering victims of Katrina," and that she had doubts because "New Yorkers don't consider themselves a part of the rest of America." A caller challenged her remarks as "just flat-out hateful, divisive, and contribut to the politicizing of a tragedy," adding that New York firefighters had begun sending supplies and personnel to the Gulf Coast, to "reciprocate the outpouring of support they received and aid that they received after 9-11." Coulter responded, "I mean, to be citing firemen who are from New York, no, they are Americans," and then said, "New York firemen are a completely different breed. I mean, that's like citing the Christian Club at Harvard."

being Christian. How do you spell BACKLASH against these ignorant pundits?

Inquring minds want to distract themselves.

8. Coulter needs a sex change operation.

As a general rule, women usually have more sympathy for humanity than men. It's possible that a sex change operation to turn Coulter into a woman would be helpful.

9. What's beef with New Yorkers?

was she rejected by elite social clubs? She seems to have a real ax to grind, this reaction is not healthy.

11. Why does anyone pay attention to Ann Da Man?

I mean seriously, Bill is a sick bastard, Hannity wants to get it on with Jesus and Ann the Man trashes NYC, home of Bush's 911. It's like they hit the WTC because it was full of NEW YORKERS! WTF is wrong with these people?

I'm a Texan and I loved the time I lived up north. The north and south need to unite against these fascist assholes, starting with people like Ann and Rush!

[SillyGoose]

12. She is a POS.

I dare her to make those disgusting comments on a street corner in Manhattan.

So who gives a fuck what she says.

18. New Yorkers have always been helpful in times like this

I lived in Norman (just south of Oklahoma City) when the Federal Building was bombed. There was a tremendous outpouring of support from all over the country, of course, but a tremendous amount from NYC (including, I believe the use of fire equipment), which lead to a certain bond b/w OKC and NYC. It meant a lot to the people of Oklahoma, and they had a special display about it (as well as OKC's response to 9/11) in the Bombing Museum. So whenever I hear a right-wing hack like Coulter screeching about the aloofness of those liberal new yorkers, i know damn well it's bullshit. :grr:

19. They truly hate anyone who doesn't drink the Kool-Aid. They are

monstrous.
