Unnamed Conservative Calls Ann Racist

    Last Resistance published (on Saturday, July 4, 2015,) Rob Knowles' piece on a conservative (whose name is not revealed) who thinks Ann is racist for saying...

""You have to understand, screaming and defacing things is how Latin Americans express disagreement. At least as long as they were destroying books and screaming in a book store, they weren’t molesting any 4-year-olds.""

    ...in response to protesters disrupting one of her recent book signings.

    Knowles quotes the mysterious conservative as saying this...

""This is just plain racism…In this case, [our opponents are] just right. Ann Coulter is being a stupid racist.""

    ...and this...

""It’s time we realize that she’s crossed a line and the more attention we give her without denouncing her stupidity just hurts us all.”"

    Knowles says (in response to the mystery person):

"First, let’s all realize that Ann Coulter is prone to making jokes and using hyperbole alongside her more important content. This is her way of making a point. Hyperbole and cutting remarks followed by her actual intended argument is one of her signatures. Yes, she’s a bomb-thrower. Like it or don’t like it, but understand it."

"...[W]hat Ann Coulter said was simply another rhetorical bomb, designed to get attention, and subsequently focus that attention on her main argument...

To call... what she said "racist," tells me that you’re not seeing the larger picture. You’re eschewing the context...

To say she "crossed a line" is about ten years too late. It’s what she does. I don’t always agree with Ann Coulter, but to cry racism in this instance is, to quote someone familiar, just stupid."

    Who is the mystery conservative? Most likely Soopermexican, who agrees with Ann on illegal immigration, but wrote (on Friday, July 3, 2015):

"This is just plain racism.

And I know what you’re feeling right now, it’s that twitch in your knee that wants to jerk to defend anyone assaulted by what we know is a news media with leftist sympathies. I have it too. But what should be stronger in all of us is the courage to uphold and defend the plain simple truth, even when it pains us to admit our opponents might be slightly right. Bastards that they are.

In this case, they’re just right. Ann Coulter is being a stupid racist." [Emphasis original.]

"It’s time we realize that she’s crossed a line and the more attention we give her without denouncing her stupidity just hurts us all."

Widespread Backlash to Ann's Comments on Kennedy

    Ann visited Kennedy recently and said that Nikki Haley is an immigrant.

    Since Haley was born in America, Ann later clarified with a tweet:

2d gen immigrant, as she constantly brags. Maj. Nidal Hasan, Anwar al-Awlaki, Octomom -we R getting the best ppl! https://t.co/oJ80xSghLD

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 24, 2015

    Greta Van Susteren said on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, at 5:36pm, that Ann's comments on Nikki Haley were

"...wrong, reckless and nasty."

    Please explain the "nasty" part, Susteren. Thinking someone doesn't know history? Thinking someone is an immigrant? Neither fits the "nasty" bill.



    Politifact rated Ann's claim as "Pants on Fire," but refuses to consider Ann's explanation.



    Aaron Goldstein said:

"Ann Coulter should own up to her mistake and apologize to Haley... It would just be the decent thing to do..."

    1. Say someone is an immigrant. 2. Take a "rudeness test." 3. See results that say, "Zero rudeness."



    Adam B. Lerner reports that:

"The head of a top Indian-American advocacy group on Wednesday condemned Ann Coulter’s comments that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley doesn’t understand America because she’s “an immigrant” with roots in India...

He said that the comments are offensive for "presuming that immigrants don’t understand American history.""

    Liberals babble on and on about how great the public school system is, so shouldn't Americans know more about American history than people who immigrated here one year ago?



    Soopermexican (most likely) joked:

"Ann Coulter just about invalidated all her arguments and her entire existence when she... said just about the stupidest thing you could say about Nikki Haley...

WOW. What’s the worse possibility – that Ann Coulter called Nikki Haley an immigrant when she was born in South Carolina by accident, or that she did it on purpose to get attention?"

    Nothing to say here.



    The Wikipedia article entitled "Immigrant generations" begins with:

"The term first-generation can refer to either people who were born in one country and relocated to another, or to their children born in the country they have relocated to. The term second-generation refers to children of first-generation immigrants, and thus exhibits the same ambiguity." [Emphasis added.]

    There is no consensus on what immigrant, whether first or second generation, means, so no one can say Ann was wrong.

    Don't forget that there is such popularity in the phrase "second-generation immigrant" that it has its own Wikipedia article. Here's a quote from the second paragraph:

"Second generation immigrants are U.S. citizens by birth."

     So wait. Even Americans who did not immigrate can still be considered immigrants.

    That settles it.

    Additionally, liberals say immigrants are good for the economy, are hard-working, and generally all-around good. Why are they so offended when someone is called an immigrant? It's like they think being an immigrant is a disease or something.

    According to liberals we are all immigrants and we are a nation of immigrants, but Nikki Haley isn't an immigrant.


UPDATE: About seven months later, Haley gave a response to Obama's SOTU address. Ann tweeted:

Trump should deport Nikki Haley.

Heather Embarrasses Herself, Her Publisher, and Her Party

    Crooks and Liars (the name explains itself) published "Heather's" piece on Ann on Friday, June 19, 2015, at 8:43pm or 9:17pm (they can't make up their mind, see for yourself).

    Here are some ridiculous quotes of Heather and why they make no sense:

"I haven't read Coulter's book and have no intention of doing so now or ever, but Right Wing Watch took her apart for her appearance discussing the book... And Media Matters took the book apart...

After reading both articles, I'd say Maher went easy on her."

    Even when Maher fails at "defeating" Ann during her appearance on his show (to be fair he was basically just the moderator), liberals still say "...Maher went easy on her." They cannot even admit failure. Additionally, Heather says Right Wing Watch and Media Matters "took [Ann] apart" and "took the book apart," respectively, but anyone who read the "articles" would see that they, in fact, did not. (Go to Heather's piece to find the links for the two articles if you would like.)

"MSNBC's Joy Reid did an excellent job talking about her own experience having first generation immigrant parents and the fact that she is fully American..."

    Joy Reid did an excellent job talking about her own experience? Guess what. Ann asked Reid if America should take the best immigrants possible. Reid responded by "talking about her own experience." That is not an "excellent job."

"...[Reid] whacked Coulter for siding with the likes of big agriculture and big business, who want that cheap labor and for taking advantage of what should be called slave labor in America."

    The response to this was best put by soopermexican of The Right Scoop:

"... [Reid] talked about how immigration is "slavery," but somehow still supports that slavery."

    Heather finishes with:

"Coulter [claimed] that she goes after Republicans harder than she does Democrats in her book, which had Maher asking her why it was only liberals and the left she was attacking in the title. Her excuse for that one was that there wasn't enough room to name everyone she had issues with.

Maher's audience wasn't buying her snake oil. Why he keeps bringing her back to troll them is beyond me."

    Heather's ignorance is baffling. Ann repeatedly said (speaking with mostly conservative news outlets that she shouldn't need to supposedly lie to like Heather thinks Ann lied to Maher) that rich Republicans are just as bad. Just look at this interview at minute 7, this interview at minute 43, this interview at minute 3, this interview at minute 9, this excerpt, this speech (the second and third quotes), and this interview at minute 33.
