Coulter Clash and Limbaugh Too
When are people going to get it? Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are comedians, not journalists ["First Rush, Now Coulter Called Offensive," usnews.com]. They foment controversy to get ratings and keep up their shtick. You can tell that the wealthy, sophisticated Limbaugh has contempt for the idiots who call him. The same goes for Coulter who pals around with her Westside friends in L.A. Come on...it's an act!

I happen to be a young college student who loves Ann Coulter. I think that it is time for America to be told the truth and to stop worrying about being so "politically correct." I hate to break it to you Meghan but if you don't like everything about either party than there is already a party for that—it's called Independents!!! Quit trying to get back in the lime light and sound so shocking. There are actually people who want to return to God and stick to the conservative values, so quit trying to change the party... like I said, become a moderate.

Coulter is just another example of someone who makes a living by saying obnoxious things. Let's hope Meghan McCain has the guts that males in the [Republican] Party seem to lack so that she will stick with her criticism when she gets the bully response from Coulter.

Maybe this infighting is what needs to happen to the GOP to clear things up and make them relevant again. People like Coulter and Limbaugh are the problem, not the way forward; imagine if Howard Stern was in charge of making Democratic Party policy and you've got the same basic idea. To Meghan McCain: Coulter will come back at you nastily—stand your ground and you'll be fine. Maybe Michael Steele can learn a lesson about leadership in the process.

Coulter makes me uncomfortable, her manner I find offensive even though she may bring up some good points. I don't think she makes a good impression even on some Republicans. I believe Rush to be an intelligent man who truly has America's best interests at heart. He says just what he thinks no matter whose toes he steps on.

Finally, someone in the Republican Party has called a spade a spade. Ann Coulter is a disgrace to Republicans and to women. She says she is conservative, although she looks like a hippie. She is unbecoming in her mini skirts, boots, and long hair in her face. She acts angry, defiant, oppositional, argumentative, and childlike. She is a contradiction because her appearance doesn't match what she says. I find her very confusing and have wondered for years what the Republicans see in her. Thank you very much, Meghan, for voicing what a lot of us have thought for years about Ann Coulter.

Does anyone really care? Ann is a lightning rod. Anyone that is not living in a cave knows that. What John McCain's daughter thinks about Ann is not news. It's gossip page fodder. Let's focus on the trillions of taxpayer money that Congress and the president feel is theirs to spend as they deem worthy. The thousands of earmark (pork) projects that Obama promised to cut from his spending packages that are now—OK. What our elected officials do, and how they vote to spend our money, are what we need to be reading about.

The Republicans lost ground with the minority and youth vote last cycle, and these people are the future majority. Rush [Limbaugh] and Ann Coulter are ridiculous to most people (except the fringe conservatives). By aligning themselves with the fringe, the Republicans are guaranteeing minority status indefinitely.

Crtitics Of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter
The defaulting weakness on the part of those who try to paint Rush Limabaugh, Ann Coulter or any of the the very eloquent but blunt conservative advocates is that of these critics' disingenious avoidance to confront conservatives on specific issues of the conservative principles. The conservative princibles are intellectual higher than who is racist and who is not, neither are they based on religious extremism or sexism. Most of the conservative ideas in today America are pure economic principles, government controls and individual freedom. This is why the Left, the liberals and the so-called moderates do not have any coherent counter-argument against the logical and reasonably inherent human behavior which is most likely to reflect on individual inalienable rights to freedom, liberty and pursuit of hapiiness.If as a native of Ghana residing in United States can appreciate the greatness of America as it evolves on the principles of the Founding Fathers of this great Nation, it baffles me to see the common sense lines in the onslaught of conservatism in America. The longer the media continues this onslaught on conservatism, the further we see the decline of this great nation, The United States of America, but never the vice versa.
Yes, it's an act!
Attacking Limbaugh is what he wants.
He'll tell you right out that he likes to get under peoples skin and makes then mad. He's good at it and it makes him Rich.
I agree with the Doug of California. It's an act... they're actually manupulating everyone for personal gain. Not just the liberals, but their followers. How do you deal with people like that? you ignore them. To mention them gives them credability... something they don't deserver.
I've listened to Rush quite a lot over the years. The man is a very intelligent man, but a hypocrite. He knows he's being inconsistant, he knows he's speaking from both corners of his mouth, but he also knows that his audience eats it up.
Case in point: 2001 tax cuts... The argument that this was penny's in the pockets of those who needed it, that lowest tax bracket didn't get a cut at all. His answer? "Even a few dollars a month is better than nothing at all, it can be the difference between making it and not making it. Liberals don't get it, any money in the hands of these people can make a different." Rush in 2008 "$16 a month raise? what good is that?" Same scneario, he took the exact opposite side. He's doing the same thing right now: He's talking about how it's the medias responsibility to call out the president! That it's our responsibility to question everything. He's saying that our government works because of skepticism, that it is the peoples job to make the president fail when he is wrong. Flash back to.. well.. anytime during the Bush administration and the talk was all about we need to unite behind the president, and how awful it is that liberals want GW Bush to fail. In reality, the media played up to Bush the same way they play Obama.
Hannity is the worst as he's not as good at making himself seem believable. He's so over the top that I wouldn't be surprised if his actual views were quite different than what he's actually saying.
Read Mother Night by Kurt Vonegut...it's about an allied spy who ran an nazi propaganda radio program that he used to send coded messagesback to the allies. That character did this for his country and did it well.. but these guys.. and this includes liberals as well, are doing this for a profit, and get under peoples skin, at the same time, and giving their audience what they want to hear. They simply give their group what they want to hear, and it's rarely the trush.
If you're looking to make some money, and you know how the game works, and you can deal with the deceit, this might be a job for you!
