Ann Coulter Has Not "Fallen from Grace"

    Salon published a piece by Heather Digby Parton entitled "Ann Coulter has fallen from grace — and the reason why is terrifying" with the subtitle: "The right-wing hate-monger has fallen on hard times. This should be a cause for celebration -- but it's far from it." Parton's piece was published on Monday, June 29, 2015, at 7:59am EDT.

    Parton attempts to explain that no media outlet cares about Ann because of her supposed extremism and that the only people who care about Ann are her fans. Parton says the little media coverage Ann receives proves she has "fallen from grace."

    Since Ann is more popular than ever, then she has not fallen from grace. It does not matter if the MSM is afraid of her or not.

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

"She was riding high, perhaps the most famous polemicist of her day, the scourge of liberals everywhere and the fantasy of young conservative men’s dreams. And then suddenly, she was nowhere."
    She was not suddenly "nowhere." Just less places. If anyone follows Ann closely, they will see how many places she has been in the past month (an average of 1.5~ appearances/interviews each day). Additionally, a simple news search will show you that Ann is talked about (or reported on) at least twice a day.


"She seems to think she’s being ignored because of her strong opposition to immigration."
    That's understandable, is it not? As she has said, she is a New York Times bestselling author, so why does the MSM ignore her?


"The question is whether or not there’s anyone left in the Republican Party who can... say something new to America."
    Ooh! That makes sense... not! Maybe if the MSM will listen to Ann, they'll hear something new. Headline reads: "Liberals Wonder Where New Conservative Solutions Are, Won't Ask Conservatives."

Scott Eric Kaufman Says, "8 statements that prove Ann Coulter has become pathetically desperate for liberals’ attention"

    On Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 12:20pm EDT, Salon published an "article" that should be entitled, "8 times that Scott Eric Kaufman has heard undeniable truth, but remains pathetically unintelligent (and shouldn't vote)."

    Kaufman pointed out 8 truthful quotes of Ann and tried to explain what was wrong with them. (Nothing.)

    One quote was Ann saying immigrants should not be overweight. Kaufman (who looks overweight in his picture) apparently thinks that America (#2 country in the world by obesity rate, depending on who you ask) should have more obese people.

Matthew Pulver of Salon Says Ann Is a Hate-monger

    On Wednesday, June 3, 2015, Matthew Pulver released a piece entitled "Ann Coulter’s spiritual predecessor: How the virulent nativism of Father Coughlin found a new home in right-wing media." Unfortunately, Pulver has no response to Ann's arguments on immigration, except to say that Ann is a hate-monger and racist.
