Writer Claims Ann Cannot Be "Native American"
On Sunday, November 8, 2015, Christie Poitra wrote a piece about why Ann is wrong to claim the status of a Native American.
First off, Ann, for the past year or two, has been speaking primarily on the topic of immigration (and this is what Ann is discussing when she makes the claim she is Native American). Here is a question for Poitra: "While discussing immigration, we call immigrants 'immgrants.' What should we call non-immigrant Americans?" The easiest thing to say is "Native American" (which happens to be a grammatically correct designation.) Ann has been saying she's a "Native American" for months and using the term to mean "non-immigrant American." It's pretty simple to comprehend.
Poitra destroys her own argument when she quotes the interview:
Now let's continue with a nonsensical quote of Poitra:
By the way, Dictionary.com says that "native" means:
Perhaps there are "Native Americans" and "native Americans."

"Padma Lakshmi: “That’s not a Native American...”That settles it.
Ann Coulter: "No, if you mean Indian...""
Now let's continue with a nonsensical quote of Poitra:
"The core of Coulter’s argument against immigration... is that there exists two classifications of immigrants, (1) the early settlers that predate the United States, and (2) everyone else."Ann never said that and in no way means or implies that she thinks that.
By the way, Dictionary.com says that "native" means:
"...1. being the place or environment in which a person was born or a thing came into being: one's native land."...and...
"6. born in a particular place or country..."
Perhaps there are "Native Americans" and "native Americans."

Students at the University of Florida Disagree If Ann Should Visit
On Sunday, November 1, 2015, at 10:43pm, Michael Beato encouraged Ann to speak at the University of Florida. Beato said:
Just a few days later (on Thursday, November 5, 2015, at 12:11am) Kevin Foster explained why Ann should not be allowed to speak. Foster lists three examples of Ann's "racism": the Jew tweet (not racist), the soccer article (not racist), and Ann recently saying that the increase in the mortality rate of poor white people was because of immigrants (not racist). Here is a quote:
"I want to make my intentions perfectly clear: I want Ann Coulter, the conservative firebrand and provocateur, to speak at UF. In fact, the event should be required for everyone to attend. If a student values his or her education, listening to Coulter speak is a must."
"To be fair, I do not support all of the ideas Coulter mentions in her book and I do not necessarily agree with her pugnacious approach to issues. But I do appreciate the fact that such a talented individual gave such a full-throated, passionate and unapologetic account of an extremely divisive stance on an extremely divisive issue. Such an account takes bravery, especially when our culture and media are so willing to haphazardly throw words like "nativist" and "racist" around."
"We need this voice on campus. We need this teachable moment. We need Ann Coulter to speak on campus. Our education depends on it."

Megan Smolenyak Claims Ann Isn't Descended from Settlers
For the past couple of months, Ann has explained that she is not an immigrant or descendant of immigrants; she says she is descended from settlers. Well, on Monday, October 19, 2015, Huffington Post published Megan Smolenyak's article that is about Ann actually descending (at least partly) from recent German and Irish immigrants. Smolenyak says:
"...it's inconvenient that [Ann]'s descended from the kind of immigrants she'd like to deny entry to."It's not "inconvenient," considering the fact that Ann wants to stop English and Dutch (what she claims to be) immigration also. Ann wants all immigration to stop.

Erica Wanis Thinks Ann Is Not a True Conservative
On Saturday, October 3, 2015, at 10:43am, Christian Post published Erica Wanis' piece: "For True Conservatism, See Pope Francis and John Boehner, Not Ted Cruz and Ann Coulter." Unfortunately, the author neglects to actually give any good facts/reasons to support the theory (besides saying Ann is harsh and the Pope is kind). Those are not actual arguments.

Protesters Appear at Ann's Book Signing in the Villages, FL
On Saturday, September 26, 2015, Ann went to a book signing at Barnes & Noble in the Villages, FL. This event was 10 days after Ann's "f---ing Jews" tweet, but the protesters are mainly there because of the tweet. There are 3 articles about the event (each includes its own photos). Here are some quotes:
1. Mel Madarang posted this report on Villages-News.com.
2. Madarang posted another piece.
3. Gal Tziperman Lotan posted this article on Orlando Sentinel.
1. Mel Madarang posted this report on Villages-News.com.
"[Coulter said] that her new book includes a chapter that the protestors could read because of its "Pro-Israel" sentiments and comments on Israel’s policy on immigration.
Coulter joked by saying that she was finished with the Israel comment and had moved onto commenting on Pope Francis. She was then informed that the protestors were also present because of her anti-Catholic statements.
"It’s not about the Pope, not about Israel, it’s about immigration," Coulter in an interview with Villages-News.com in a back room at the Lake Sumter Landing bookseller." [Mistakes original.]
2. Madarang posted another piece.
"Demonstrators held up American and Israeli flags, as well as signs expressing denouncement towards support for Coulter outside the store. Many of the protestors said they felt offended by Coulter’s anti-Semitic Tweet...
"This is an informational demonstration opposed against racial bigotry," said Pastor Drew Willard of United Church of Christ who was invited by Temple Shalom to stand in solidarity for the Jewish people.
All others of the estimated 200 protestors were offended by not only the anti-Semitic comment, but the anti-Catholic Tweet posted by Coulter." [Mistakes original.]
3. Gal Tziperman Lotan posted this article on Orlando Sentinel.
"As a line of Coulter's fans formed inside the bookstore, dozens of protesters gathered outside, waving American and white-and-blue Israeli flags.
They focused not on the book, but on a series of Tweets she wrote during the Sept. 16 Republican presidential debate."
"Steve Lowe, president of Temple Shalom of Central Florida, said a group of community leaders in The Villages read about the tweets and decided to protest Coulter's book signing.
"We just don't feel that we can tolerate any more of the incendiary racial and religious remarks, because they're so divisive to people," he said. "We, as Jews, will not accept it anymore.""

Matt Lewis Complains about Ann Liking Smart People
On Friday, September 25, 2015, the Week published Matt Lewis' piece, criticizing Ann for criticizing people who criticize Trump, Carson, and Fiorina, when those three are the smartest Republican nominees (with highest college education attainment). Lewis quotes Ann saying:
"Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Business... [Carson: Yale; Fiorina: Stanford.]So Ann says nothing is wrong with a bush-league college and Lewis writes...
By contrast, look up the educational achievement of the average pundit sneering at Trump's idiocy and the ordinariness of his supporters. I won't be as nasty as they are, but wow! — people who went to bush league schools shouldn't throw stones. There's nothing wrong with attending a bush-league college. But maybe ease up... if you went to a third-rate college in the era of need-blind admissions." [Emphasis added.]
"Ann Coulter's sneering at 'bush-league colleges' is unbecoming of a true conservative"...and...
"In Ann Coulter's world, this seems to mean that I am not qualified to have an opinion about someone who graduated from Wharton."...along with...
"The other big problem with Coulter's stance[:]... condescendingly dismissing the value of... 99 percent of the country. This is not only morally contemptuous and politically stupid — it's flat out wrong."
Michael Voris Says Ann Is an Anti-Catholic Bigot
On Friday, September 25, 2015, Church Militant released this video (+ transcript) in which Michael Voris talks mainly about Catholicism and American politics. He disses Ann.

Youtuber Claims Ann's Jewish
On Tuesday, September 22, 2015, Henry Schwarie, a Youtuber, claims to have ousted Ann as a Jew. *Gasp.* The exactly 12 minute video is below (and shot vertically for some reason).
Schwarie's whole thesis is based on the fact that "Coulter" is a version of a Jewish name, meaning Ann is Jewish. Well guess what, an internet search says "Coulter" is Irish. Ann herself claims English+other ancestry.
The end of the video has a desperate plea for Ann to stand with Israel. Fact: she does!

KJ McElrath Rants about Ann
On Tuesday, September 15, 2015, Ring of Fire published KJ McElrath's rant about how bad Ann is. Here is the stupidity:
Let's continue.
If you (dear reader) think that McElrath is that stupid, wait! There's more! McElrath proceeds to write*:
McElrath thinks Ann is the stupid one; the idiot is actually McElrath's employer.**
*It's common for that website to embed "related" videos into their articles, but this is still a legitimate target of criticism since it was, in fact, embedded in the article.
**Presumable employer.
"Queen of Hate and fascist theocrat Ann Coulter has been falling out of favor with the right-wing in recent months. For nearly two decades, Ann made quite a reputation with her raging rants and rotten rhetoric...That claim has been proven false.
Now, they won’t give her the time of day."
Let's continue.
"I haven’t been on CNN yet, because I was made up, my hair was done, I was mic’ed up, I was walking to the set…He [Don Lemon] was doing a full hour on the Doogans or whatever their name is…the next night, ‘We’re going to do all Doogans again.’ And then the next week, it’s the cop who yelled at a girl in a bikini! And then it’s Bruce Jenner!Is McElrath that stupid? Ann says, "...doing a full hour on the Doogans or whatever their name is..." and then McElrath criticizes Ann for not knowing their name? What? She specifically said she didn't know the name.
Actually, Ms. Coulter, it’s "Duggars," not "Doogans." The self-preoccupied Princess of Putrid and Poisonous Prose couldn’t even get that right."
If you (dear reader) think that McElrath is that stupid, wait! There's more! McElrath proceeds to write*:
"Watch our commentary on how right-wing hate talkers like Coulter are ruining American culture:At the 24th second, Mike Papantonio (the guy in the video and presumably McElrath's boss) pronounces Phyllis Schlafly's last name as "Shafely" (making the A long and removing the first L.) Papantonio continues with calling her a "crazy" "lunatic" and a "demented old coot" with a "loony audience."

John Stossel Needs to Think Harder
On Saturday, August 22, 2015, at 7:49pm EDT, John Stossel wrote an article called "Immigration foes don’t have facts on their side." Here's the response to his claims*:
Now, back to Stossel:
*The formatting of Stossel's article has been stripped.
"Clearly, lots of Americans are mad about immigration. But we libertarians believe that people trapped in horrible countries deserve a chance at a better life and that free trade in labor, not just products, is a good thing."Everyone thinks everyone should be able to have a better life, but not at the expense of others (as in slavery/tax/indentured servitude).
"Why would I think that when my Facebook "fans" tell me things like: "Most immigrants, legal & illegal, get food stamps & welfare"?It's strange that I just stumbled across this today.
Because that’s not true."
"Of course, some immigrants cheat, many hospitals lose money treating undocumented people and immigrants’ kids get free public schooling. On average, the lifetime fiscal impact of the average immigrant is negative $3,000, says the National Research Council."Imagine a poor Mexican illegally comes to America, making $20,000~ a year, and has three kids. ONE child PER year of school costs $10,000. Three kids times $10,000 = $30,000 taxpayer money, times 10 years of school = $300,000. American citizens can't even pay off their $30,000 student loans, so how can immigrants take $300,000 solely through education and actually pay it back?
"But the NRC goes on to say that descendants of the immigrant make a positive fiscal contribution of $83,000.""Rich" Americans put money into the government, grow old, and take money out (and we still struggle with money our whole lives). This results in an $18 trillion debt. Yet Stossel thinks poor immigrants can succeed with a better life in America while living a worse life than Americans and contributing more in taxes than Americans while taking less out? If immigrants help our economy, why didn't they just help theirs?
"Even illegal immigration helps delay the bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare. Young illegal workers pay into the system — but most don’t collect. “Medicare and Social Security — the biggest welfare programs,” says Nowrasteh. “Immigrants subsidize those programs massively.”That's a brilliant plan. Charge foreigners money to pay for our seniors. The problem is they will get to collect Social Security (and Obamacare) when they get amnesty. Here's what Ann had to say about it:
"...Considering as we're always being taunted [that] immigrants are so young and vital, whereas the white people, they're old; they're dying off. Well... you would think, in your later years, that's when you might need a little more government assistance, not when you're... at the peak of your earning power."
Now, back to Stossel:
"Health policy journal Health Affairs says in 2009 immigrants contributed $13.8 billion more to the Medicare Trust Fund than they collected in benefits. In the same year, native-born Americans took out $30.9 billion more than they paid in."But you want illegals to get amnesty, hence the ability to collect Medicare?
"Coulter says that the new immigrants don’t assimilate the way Europeans did. Maybe that’s true, but I pointed out that immigrants from Nigeria, Jamaica and Ghana are more likely to be employed than native-born Americans and twice as likely to get a college degree. "I don’t believe it," answered Coulter."Is that taking college degrees and employment from Americans? Either way, all immigrants from Nigeria, Jamaica, and Ghana combined equals 1 million. That's 2% of immigrants. Assuming Stossel chose the best 3 countries, those immigrants equal 2% of immigrants. 2% of immigrants get an A+; 90% get an F.
She also argues that America admits too many immigrants, but how many is too many? Thirteen percent of America’s population is now foreign born (down from 15 percent in 1915).Yeah, leave out the fact they were only 4% in 1970. (And income inequality mirrors how many immigrants are in the US.)
"Immigrants make up 27 percent of the population in Switzerland and Australia."They pick their immigrants; our immigrants pick us. The majority of immigrants to Australia are from Britain. The largest immigrant group to Switzerland is Italians. They pick their immigrants; we should too.
"Of course, it would be good if all immigrants came here legally. But America makes that difficult."America takes more immigrants than the rest of the world combined. Yes, a couple of countries have immigrants as 27% of the population, but America taking more in than the entire world? That has to count for something.
"Forbes says a computer programmer from India who wants to work in America legally must wait an average of 35 years. A Mexican teenager would have to wait 131 years. No wonder people give up on the legal approach and sneak in."Mexicans are the largest immigrant group and they wait 131 years? Then immigrants from Britain must be waiting about 1000 years. Look at all of the discrimination.
"Donald Trump calls immigrants "criminals," and some are. We don’t know how many because America doesn’t know how many illegals are here. But a count of prisoners shows that more Americans are jailed than immigrants."Immigrants make up 14%~ of the population. Of course there should be more Americans in jail. Either way, like Ann says, ZERO immigrants should be criminals.
"Social Science Quarterly found ":cities with greater growth in immigrant ... populations ... have steeper decreases in homicide and robbery rates.""One could say, "Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine have low immigrant populations and low crime," or one could just say, "Correlation does not equal causation."
"The facts show that immigration is mostly good."For Americans?
*The formatting of Stossel's article has been stripped.

Glenn Beck's Strange Reasoning about Ann
On Wednesday, August 19, 2015, the Blaze posted an article that explains Beck's thoughts on why Republicans can't get anything done. In the article, he comments on Ann's tweet:
The article says:
Now read (or watch) what Beck said in the video that was embedded in the article:
...What?
I don't care if @realDonaldTrump wants to perform abortions in White House after this immigration policy paper. http://t.co/l7nq8gN7i5
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 16, 2015
The article says:
"“I’ve seen some of her statements and I’m like, ‘What the hell — Ann, what are you talking about?’”
Beck specifically referenced Coulter’s tweet saying Trump’s immigration policy is so good, she doesn’t care if he "wants to perform abortions in White House."" [Hyperlink removed.]
Now read (or watch) what Beck said in the video that was embedded in the article:
"You can't fix immigration... until you fix the Constitution." [Quote found in minute 1.]

Rick Wilson Tweets Vulgar Insult to Ann
After an article reported that Rick Wilson said that 25% of Republican voters were stupid, some comments on the article contained rape threats toward his daughter. Rick Wilson freaked out, so Ann tweeted:
Wilson responded with a (now deleted) tweet, saying, "Does Trump pay you more for anal?"
Afterward, Wilson tweeted:
So, to explain, Wilson calls Ann's tweet "vulgar" and his tweet "parental anger."
UPDATE: Two months later (today, October 29) Ann tweeted this:
Ann then retweeted:

Writer Looks Like Idiot When Using Faulty Data to Attack Ann
The Guardian published an article on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, by Jason Nichols. It is about problems in the Hispanic and black communities being caused by racism.
Here is one sentence of Nichol's:
Here's a quote about Ann's Hispanic rape comments:
Here is the part where the major stupidity is put on display:
Here is the explanation:
1. Nichols links to a website focused on giving out tips for life, not an actual reliable source.
2. Nichols wrote white males are 70% of child molesters. The unreliable source does not even say that. It says whites (male and female), not white males. We will let this claim slide due to obvious reasons.
3. Nichols' source says 14% of Hispanic inmates are convicted for offenses against children. The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not have stats specifically for child molestation, but let's overestimate by lumping together Homicide + Aggravated Assault + Kidnapping Offenses + ALL Sex Offenses = 10% of inmates. That percentage could easily be rounded down to 5% or 3% to only account for offenses against children. So that just shows you how much Hispanics molest children when compared to everyone else.
4. Nichols' source lumps Hispanics and whites together. The white population + the Hispanic population = 78%, while still only being 70% of child molesters.
Like Nichols' source, the Bureau of Justice Statistics also lumps whites and Hispanics together for rape statistics.
Let us look at a source that is about rape in general (not just child rape). It mentions rape stats for whites, blacks, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Amerindians/Alaskans, and mixed race people.
The terms "Hispanic," "Latino," and "Mexican" do not show up at all (in the two sources provided), in spite of Hispanics being the largest minority group in America. While looking at crime stats, always check first to see if Hispanics are counted as white.
Here is one sentence of Nichol's:
"Donald Trump and Coulter are perfect examples of the fact that Latinos and black Americans share common enemies."
Here's a quote about Ann's Hispanic rape comments:
"...Coulter and others sound eerily like Dylann Roof (and could have potentially been his influences)..."
Here is the part where the major stupidity is put on display:
"Trump, bestselling author and regular Fox News guest Ann Coulter and many other hateful voices from the far right have said black people and Latinos are rapists – and they use skewed statistics to back their claims... [T]hey tend to leave out the fact 70% of child molesters are white males." [Hyperlink original.]
Here is the explanation:
1. Nichols links to a website focused on giving out tips for life, not an actual reliable source.
2. Nichols wrote white males are 70% of child molesters. The unreliable source does not even say that. It says whites (male and female), not white males. We will let this claim slide due to obvious reasons.

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...
Knowles quotes the mysterious conservative as saying this...
Knowles says (in response to the mystery person):
Who is the mystery conservative? Most likely Soopermexican, who agrees with Ann on illegal immigration, but wrote (on Friday, July 3, 2015):
""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."

Illegals Disturb One of Ann's Book Signings
On Wednesday, July 1, 2015, Ann's book signing at a Barnes and Noble in Costa Mesa, CA, was interrupted by protesters (primarily illegal aliens and those who appear to be of Mexican descent).
Besides this, Roman would not shake Ann's hand.
Also, after pestering Ann, Roman was led out by the staff:
Here are 2 videos, each less than a minute:
Another video can be found at Breitbart, along with a report on the protest.
Here is Ann's response to the protest.
Also, a piece (that contains two videos and some pictures) on DailyLoL.com says:
Additionally, a blog post published on OC Weekly by Gabriel San Roman on Friday, July 3, 2015, explains what "really happened." (In other words: the liberal perspective.)
Here is Ann's response to the protest.
Also, a piece (that contains two videos and some pictures) on DailyLoL.com says:
"A flash mob congregates, drop banners and begin profanity-laced chants and tirades (plenty of children present):..."
"As people exited the store with signed books, the mob threw garbage and chanted at them profanely:
[video]
"Go back to Europe asshole"
"Fu*k you whitey""
"Kill Ann Coulter
ETC.
[Above punctuation is quoted exactly.]
Two protestors [sic] made it through tight security and nearly assaulted Ms. Coulter before bodyguards could subdue them and security removed from the event[.]"
Additionally, a blog post published on OC Weekly by Gabriel San Roman on Friday, July 3, 2015, explains what "really happened." (In other words: the liberal perspective.)
"A pair of blog posts put out preposterous claims that Coulter originally planned a talk but chose a signing out of security fears. Protesters were also said to have tried to assault the author before being turned away. Another lie holds that the crowd spit at Coulter's fans when they exited the bookstore.
None of it is true.
Coulter told me that there was never any lecture planned--just the signing. And with all this supposed chaos, there would have been a couple arrests, no?"
Besides this, Roman would not shake Ann's hand.
Also, after pestering Ann, Roman was led out by the staff:
""I thought you wanted a debate on immigration, Ann," I said while being led out."Yes, she does. There are two reasons she would not spontaneously debate Roman. First, when dozens of people are waiting in line to speak with Ann, she should not engage in a random debate with a random stranger. Second, what's the point of a debate if Roman (only one person) will benefit or learn anything from it? There is a point, but what does Roman do? Roman buys ¡Adios America!, but then lets the protesters tear it to pieces. That proves that Roman does not even care.
