It has been reported that the Arizona Star has very wisely, due in part to the wishes of their readers, both conservative and not, dropped the syndicated column of Ann Coulter in favor of a less abrasive and hopefully less bile-filled Tony Snow. Snow is currently the host of The Tony Snow Show, a syndicated Fox News Radio show as well as Weekend Live with Tony Snow on the Fox News Channel.…

Dan, I don't need you to tell me that. (But I appreciate the sentiment, if sincere.)
That said, it's an absolutely brutal, low, and borderline evil thing to say that New Yorkers would willingly surrender to terrorists.
How dare she? New York took the brunt of 9/11 and lost 3,000 lives for it. I thought we were all supposed to be draped in the flag and dripping in American and patriotism.
Except if you live in New York, I guess. I guess that's not part of Ann Coulter's "America." She should stay the hell away from New York if she thinks it's such a cowardly place.

It's because of the way you vote.

So in other words, you still believe the world is flat. Okay, that is your right.
Ann has claimed that the Democratic Party "supports killing, lying, adultery, thievery, envy". That is a lie.
She said President Clinton "was a very good rapist". A bold accusation of which she has no proof, I'm sure.
She insists that "liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole". That is a lie.
With her public comments of "I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days" to talk to liberals, she advocates violence against Americans, and in an eerie precursor to Robertson, she advocated the assassination of Clinton. (she wrote that the only real question about Bill Clinton was "whether to impeach or assassinate.")
If that is someone you would choose to speak for you, then I doubt you would ever get my vote for something you want to come to pass. And I'm sure millions feel that way.
And the first paragraph here, she is accused of falsely blaming someone for something when it is a matter of public record that she was the one responsible for it.
Is falsely accusing someone of something, when there is public record stating otherwise, a lie? I dunno, if we boat past Aruba do we fall off?

I don't know the details of that, but I'm going to take a guess and say that many new yorkers don't support the war, and to Ann, that's the same as supporting terrorists. That's like saying back in the mid eighties, if you're against a war with the USSR, then you're a communist.
Me, I'm against oil, we've been living off the primitive shit for what, 100 years? If we'd switched to a different fuel source 20 years ago the middle east would be broke by now, and they certainly wouldn't have enough money to develop WMD's

To add to Steve's great examples (of horror) and to touch on Al's usual defense of Coulter: just because she lies, smears, and taunts with a half-smirk doesn't make it anywhere near right.

Steve, just to review:
The extremist website you cited says Ann lied about Latino's approval of prop 187. They use an exit poll, (hopefully not the same outfit that showed Kerry winning in a walk in 2004) and say that "proves" it. But then Ann is presumably using the pre-election polling data that showed some 60% of Latinos favored it. So both sides have equal substantiation. Only one is being called a liar though.
So after this bit of trickery is revealed to you, you deal out more "flat earth" condescension, and return to the poisoned well for another so called "lie".
Steve: "Is falsely accusing someone of something, when there is public record stating otherwise, a lie? "
So your saying there is public record that the prosecutor did not drop the charges? Because that's all Ann accused her of. Generally when charges are dropped, it's the prosecutor who does it.
Of course the ugly progressives violence against Ann is caught on tape, so a court appearance by Ann would seem unnecessary. But if it were, then according to Ann, (who I tend to trust because I've never seen an example of intentional deceit from her), she was never notified of a court date.
I wonder what would happen if the violent liberal woman attackers succeeded in murdering Ann on video tape? Would someone need to bring her corpse in and prop it up in court to keep the democrat prosecutor from dropping the case?
It's always the same, whenever you run down these so called "lies" by Ann, they turn out to be "iffy" at best.
Of course if you define "lie" as you do in comment #28, as any sort of hyperbole, or exaggerated humor from someone you hate, OK then.
Al Franken and the gang, attempt hyperbolic humor at least as often. While I don't often find him funny, (not intentionally at least) I do recognize that what he's doing isn't lying.
Al Franken: "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat pig".
Steve and Eric: "ha ha ha, man! that guy cracks me up! Yeah! but he's soooo RIGHT ON!!
Ann Coulter: "New Yorkers are pussies"
Steve and Eric: LIAR!! LIAR!! LIAR!! That is so fundamentally anti-American. Yeah! and borderline evil too!!

I hope people are getting tired of the mean-spiritedness. I would like to see the attack dogs on both sides take a hike. Disagreement is fine, vitriol isn't. We all have to live together and a little compromise and civility would go a long way in making this country a better place to live for all.

To me, "mean spiretedness" is often just an ugly label used by some to shut down thoughtfull, but sensitive debate. It works well to indoctrinate young people and others who may not yet have the intellectual maturity to grasp the full scope of complex social issues, but it's not a logical alternative to honest debate.
The partisan "attack dogs" I would like to see "take a hike", on both sides, are the ones who don't deal honestly.
