Ann Coulter Calls Melissa Harris-Perry MSNBC’s ‘Token’ African-American

So on point as usual is Ms. Coulter:

Sean Hannity is not letting MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry off the hook any time soon. On Monday night, he and Ann Coulter said Harris-Perry’s tearful apology for a segment making light of a picture of Mitt Romney and his white family with an adopted black grandchild was insincere and pushed by management, while Coulter went so far as to call Harris-Perry the “token” African-American at MSNBC.

Coulter found it ironic that Harris-Perry would insinuate that anyone else, like Kieran Romney, is a token, because “what does she think she is at MSNBC?”

Hannity was actually stunned Coulter would say this, giving the slightest of defenses to MSNBC by saying they have other black personalities like Al Sharpton. But aside from that, he agreed with Coulter that the network is full of “lunatics” who just can’t get enough of their own hyperbolic rhetoric.

Coulter also pointed out the irony of MSNBC taking on race in this fashion while they’ve gone above and beyond in finding ways to accuse Republicans and conservatives of racism. She said, “Unfortunately for liberals, there is no more racism in America. There is more cholera in America than there is racism.”

Ann Coulter to Sean Hannity: ‘Liberalism Is on the Spectrum of Mental Illness’

Mediaite.com:

Ann Coulter joined Sean Hannity Monday night to talk about liberal media hypocrisy in the politics of mass shooters. Coulter echoed sentiments made by Rush Limbaugh that most school shooters are “inspired” by leftism, and even went so far as to say “liberalism is on the spectrum of mental illness.”

They were reacting to The Denver Post stealth-editing the word “socialist” the word “socialist” out of a profile for the Arapahoe shooter, saying this never would have happened if he was right-wing. Coulter said it’s always “crazy people” involved and on the left in particular, because “the left has a 200-year history of engaging in violence.”

They were both quick to say that they don’t want to blame the left for individual school shootings like they believe liberals do to conservative-affiliated shooters.

Sean Hannity Reveals That Obamacare Hotline Operator, Earline Davis, Who Took His Call Got Fired

Mediaite.com:

When a woman named Earline Davis answered the phone on Monday afternoon, she had no idea she’d become a player in Sean Hannity‘s attempt to call the Obamcare hotline and grill an employee with questions about the website’s rollout. She also had no idea that phone call would lead to her firing.  

As a result, the conservative radio host has gifted the mother of two a year’s tax-free salary of $26,000 and has promised to help her find a new job. Hannity brought Davis on his show this afternoon to detail her firing and make the generous offer. 

Davis explained that the morning after the fateful phone call, she was escorted to an HR meeting and told she would be released. The reason? “Contact with the media is not allowed,” Davis said. 

According to the former operator, she was never told during her initial training that she is forbidden from taking calls from the media. “I was just out here trying to help everybody,” she told Hannity. 

“I’m very sorry that you had to go through that,” the radio host told her. “I don’t want you to have to pay a price just for taking our call. So I want to help you out here.”

Ann Coulter Gives GOP a Pass for Shutdown on Hannity: ‘This Is 100% the Democrats’

Mediaite.com:

Ann Coulter joined Sean Hannity Thursday night to take on what she views as a politically-motivated government shutdown, on the part of President Obama. Lamenting the closure of the World War II memorial and other “privately-run” sights, Coulter said, “This is absolutely 100% political.”

“He’s doing this to punish people so he can blame Republicans when it is 100% the Democrats,” Coulter continued. Picking up where Hannity left off in his previous segment, she said “the entire fight has come down to” whether Democrats will agree to “live under Obamacare” like the rest of America. 

Coulter explained why she was for a government shutdown to achieve this goal in 2013 when she was against it back when Newt Gingrich was leading the charge against President Bill Clinton. Most importantly, she said, conservative now own part of the media landscape. 

“There was no Fox News in 1995,” she said. “Nobody was on the internet. Talk radio wasn’t as big as it is now. If you look at the polls, even with 100% of the non-Fox media pushing the idea that it’s Republicans’” fault, the gap between those who blame Democrats and those who blame Republicans is far smaller than it was in 18 years ago.

And on Republicans who Hannity described as “giving in to the bullying” of President Obama and showing signs of compromise, Coulter asked, “Were they in a coma during the launch of the Obamacare exchanges? Have they seen what’s happening?”

Black Conservatives In Explosive Sean Hannity "Townhall": ‘Liberals Believe They Own Black America’

Mediaite.com:

On Monday night’s Hannity show, over two dozen black conservatives participated in a townhall discussion, addressing what it is like to be a black conservative in America.

The show kicked off with Sean Hannity interviewing Dr. Ben Carson. Hannity asked Dr. Carson what kind of insults he has received since coming out publicly as a conservative. Carson noted:

Some of the words cannot be used. It’s really kind of sad. I feel more sorrowful for the people who do that, than I feel angry for them. I represent something that they just can’t quite get their heads around: ‘How can you be black and not march lock-step behind the [airquote] leaders?’ ‘How can you think for yourself?’ ‘And how can you actually have some ideals that actually make sense that don’t agree with their leaders?’ I am very hopeful that this a trend that will be broken. I’m going to continue to speak out. Of course, there is an old trick that you ostracize, you ridicule, you isolate, and you keep repeating…. I’m not sure it’s going to work quite frankly because I don’t plan on going anywhere.

On Monday night’s Hannity show, over two dozen black conservatives participated in a townhall discussion, addressing what it is like to be a black conservative in America.

I’m going to continue to speak out. Of course, there is an old trick that you ostracize, you ridicule, you isolate, and you keep repeating…. I’m not sure it’s going to work quite frankly because I don’t plan on going anywhere.

In a gripping moment, when Hannity asked the townhall participants how many have been “called horrible names because of [their] conservatism,” every participant’s hand shot up.

Dr. Carson noted that this demonstrates to him that “the very people who love to talk about tolerance are some of the least tolerant people there are.”

Hannity and Dr. Carson then discussed Hannity’s recent remarks that black conservatives have no freedom of speech, with Dr. Carson agreeing and expanding on Hannity’s point:

One of the founding principles of our nation is freedom of speech and freedom of expression. And yet they are so many people who are afraid to talk. I’ve gotten so many emails and letters from people who say ‘I support you 100% but please let this remain anonymous.’ Why? Because they don’t want to have the fiery darts thrown at them.

Following the brief interview, Hannity opened up the discussion to the townhall participants, consisting of an array of black conservative ‘all-stars,’ such as Star Parker, David Webb, Ron Christie, Jesse Petterson, Kevin Jackson, Deneen Borelli, Crystal Wright, and Reginald Jones, among others.

The lively discussion ranged from the attacks and smears they face as a result of their political affiliation, to the reasons for their political beliefs, and the challenges they face. 

The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley noted the racist comments that often emerge from the Left, as well as the “double standard” applied to black conservatives: 

There’s a need on the Left to almost psycho-analyze black conservatives, put ‘em on the couch. In other words, Justice Scalia’s views on affirmative action are simply wrong but Clarence Thomas is a self-hating, self-loathing traitor to his race. There’s a double standard. And I think the reason you have that is… if you can psycho-analyze someone, de-legitimize them, you don’t have to take on their ideas… and that’s what the Left tries to do to black conservatives.

Hannity noted that each of them is a “profile in courage.”

Kevin Jackson, Executive Director of The Black Sphere, noted Vice President Joe Biden’s comment about going into the “black sections” of his town, as an example of the level of racism on the Left that is simply dismissed or allowed.

Project 21’s Reginald Jones spoke on the threat to liberals’ “ownership” of black America, stating: “What Dr. Carson and everybody in here represents is a threat to their sense of ownership. Liberals, in total, believe that they own black America….”

Radio host David Webb added that the Left requires allies of “convenience” and victims, stating: “It’s about power and control.”

The spirited discussion was emotional at times, with Deneen Borelli wiping away tears near the end of the show.

Hannity expressed plans to hold an additional townhall on this issue, prompting cheers of agreement from the participants.

Jamie Foxx Blurts Out How Black Liberals Really Think, Calls Barack Obama "Our Lord and Savior"

Indeed, with Black liberals assisting termendously in Barack Obama's re-election a few weeks ago, give talented comedian/actor/singer Jamie Foxx credit for just telling the truth: for merely existing as a half-Black, two-term President, in the eyes of many naive and ass-backwards-thinking Black liberals, Barack Obama has replaced Jesus Christ as their "Lord and Savior", furnishing "great gifts" in the form of record food stamps, welfare, unprecedented unemployment loot and a host of other entitlements. Lazy Black liberals would never give that up and they certainly didn't come out in force for Obama again this year because Barry cares about real needs in the urban community. Props to Jamie Foxx for giving truth to power:

Oh, Jamie Foxx. 

The comedian caused quite a stir at the 2012 Soul Train Awards, which was televised last night but taped in Las Vegas a few days after the 2012 election, when he made an out-of-this-world comparison regarding the president.

"It's like church over here. It's like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our Lord and Savior Barack Obama. Barack Obama," Foxx said to the audience.

The president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights in the United States Bill Donahue released a statement regarding the actor's comment, saying, "Foxx's epiphany is startling. It just goes to show that even though Obama did not succeed in stopping the oceans from rising (as he promised to do in 2008), he did succeed in convincing Jamie Foxx, and no doubt legions of others, that God exists. Whether God can survive an ACLU lawsuit accusing him of violating church and state grounds remains to be seen."

Foxx's rep was not immediately available for comment.

Ann Coulter Rails Against Liberals’ Race-Baiting ‘White Guilt’ Narrative On Sean Hannity

Mediaite.com:

On his show Monday night, Sean Hannity spoke with Ann Coulter about the racism and the narrative she said the media is pushing in order to avoid discussing difficult issues. Everyone would be better off without “white guilt,” Coulter argued — decrying that all liberals want to talk about is racism.

Rattling off a list of foreign policy concerns, Hannity noted that Democrats aren’t talking about any of those issues, “because all they can do is accuse Republicans of racism.” We’ve gotten to a point where everything is deemed racist, he and Coulter agreed. At that point, he aired a montage of “Democrats playing the issue hard.”

These “tactics,” Hannity said — citing “class warfare,” “scaring granny” and the “race card” — are proving effective to a certain extent.

That’s because Democrats are “demagogues,” Coulter argued, “always appealing to a mob, ginning people up with lies and anger.” She then went on to recap some history, including remarking that the Ku Klux Klan was an outgrowth of the Democratic Party.

The O.J. Simpson verdict was what “set America free,” she said, touting Rudy Guiliani’s record as mayor in New York City. He enforced “sane” criminal laws that saved black lives, not caring that he was called a racist, she said.

“White guilt has produced mistake after mistake, including the 2008 election when more whites voted for Obama than voted for a democrat for a decade,” Coulter said.

Dissent used to be patriotic, and now it’s considered racist, Hannity remarked. To that point, Coulter argued, “Everyone, blacks especially, are better off when the white guilt bank is shut down, as it was for more than a decade after the O.J. verdict. And liberals kept trying to push the racial narrative in their newspapers and TV. Americans weren’t buying it.”

Segueing back to discussion about the current campaign cycle, Coulter noted that the media is in “war mode” — which is why, instead of discussing the turmoil in the Middle East, “all they’re talking about is racism.”

Sean Hannity Panel Uses Akin Controversy To Slam Left’s ‘Double Standard’ In Accountability

Mediaite.com:

On his show Tuesday night, Sean Hannity invited Dana Perino and Stuart Varney to weigh in on the latest developments in the controversy surrounding Rep. Todd Akin. Namely, his refusal to drop out of the Missouri Senate race. While all three encouraged Akin’s exit, they went on to draw a contrast between the left and the right when it comes to accountability, criticizing what they called a double standard.

“He seems delusional,” Perino concluded bluntly, in a discussion about Akin’s refusal to step out of the race.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Hannity chimed in, noting that he accept’s Akin’s apology and thinks “he misspoke.” But staying in the race simply isn’t a smart choice, he said.

Varney agreed, and said that Akin “knows he stakes” — a point Perino disputed, pondering whether Akin’s political consultants might also be driving him to stay in. “But it’s not the right thing to do,” she said.

To that point, Hannity said, “The conservative movement is more important than any one person. If it was me, and I thought I could potentially hurt Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in defeating Obama, I would step aside.”

He went on to criticize the double standard he said exists when it comes to accountability. “Isn’t it great that the right has standards?” Perino asked. “And we hold people to that account.”

Meanwhile, Varney said, liberals can say what they like and not have to resign. Pointing in particular to Vice President Joe Biden, Hannity said, “Democrats can say anything.”

George Zimmerman Held On Second-Degree Murder Charge

There are some far-Right conservatives (aka Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh) who don't want to believe that racism still exists in this world. These extremists are so caught up in their ideology that they refuse to see prejudice based on race, much the continual spate of unarmed black men and boys killed by police officers (or neighborhood watch volunteers like George Zimmerman). And while they are right to scream at every example of white liberals using faux-racism to keep blacks down, dependent and voting Democrat, pretending that racism no longer exists, esp. when it comes to the Trayvon Martin's of the world, only does the conservative movement in this country harm:

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who says he was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, has been charged with murder in the second degree, special prosecutor Angela Corey told reporters Wednesday.


Corey said that Zimmerman has surrendered to authorities in Florida and has been arrested. The charge carries a maximum possible sentence of life in prison.


Police say Zimmerman fatally shot Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, on February 26 in Sanford, Florida, after Martin began walking home from a convenience store. Zimmerman, who is Hispanic and was a neighborhood watch volunteer, had called 911 to complain about a suspicious person in the neighborhood. He was released without charges after claiming self-defense, but the case was referred to a special prosecutor as thousands converged on Sanford to join in protests calling for Zimmerman's arrest.

Liberal Prick Alan Holmes Takes Cheap Shot at Rick Santorum‘s Handling of the 1996 Death of his Newborn Son

It's who they are, they just can't help themselves. Great job by Nick Lowry for calling Holmes out for basically being an a-hole:

In a wild exchange on Fox News’ Happening Now, longtime contributor Alan Colmes lost it a little bit when National Review‘s Rich Lowry pressed him over an attack on Rick Santorum‘s handling of the 1996 death of his newborn son. Colmes used Santorum’s reaction to the death of 2 hour-old Gabriel as an example of “some of the crazy things he’s said and done,” prompting immediate, sustained pushback from Lowry, and death-stares from Colmes.


The segment was pegged to Santorum’s polling surge in Iowa, which Colmes argued wouldn’t last “once they get a load of some of the crazy things he’s said and done, like taking his two-hour-old baby who died after childbirth and played with it for a couple hours so his other children would know that the child was real…”


“That’s a cheap shot, Alan,” Lowry interrupted, the first of many interruptions that would leave Colmes sitting back in his chair, staring daggers at Lowry, and asking to be alerted when it was his turn to speak again.


The incident they’re referring to is the 1996 birth of a premature baby boy to Rick and Karen Santorum. The child only lived for two hours, and the Santorums dealt with the tragedy in an unusual way:


The childbirth in 1996 was a source of terrible heartbreak — the couple were told by doctors early in the pregnancy that the baby Karen was carrying had a fatal defect and would survive only for a short time outside the womb. According to Karen Santorum’s book, ”Letters to Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum,” she later developed a life-threatening intrauterine infection and a fever that reached nearly 105 degrees. She went into labor when she was 20 weeks pregnant. After resisting at first, she allowed doctors to give her the drug Pitocin to speed the birth. Gabriel lived just two hours.


What happened after the death is a kind of snapshot of a cultural divide. Some would find it discomforting, strange, even ghoulish — others brave and deeply spiritual. Rick and Karen Santorum would not let the morgue take the corpse of their newborn; they slept that night in the hospital with their lifeless baby between them. The next day, they took him home. ”Your siblings could not have been more excited about you!” Karen writes in the book, which takes the form of letters to Gabriel, mostly while he is in utero. ”Elizabeth and Johnny held you with so much love and tenderness. Elizabeth proudly announced to everyone as she cuddled you, ‘This is my baby brother, Gabriel; he is an angel.’ ”


It’s a story that I have heard mocked by many liberals (and mistold, by others, as having followed a miscarriage), and I agree with Lowry that the intensely personal arena of human grief ought not be cheapened into political fodder. Within reasonable limits, I don’t think anyone should be judged for things they say or do in the face of extreme grief.


The fact that Karen Santorum publicized the event means that, to some extent, it is an appropriate subject for public discussion, but then it should be handled in a delicate, respectful manner. While I think Lowry was taking a cheap shot of his own when he accused Colmes of “mocking” the Santorums (and with his deployment of the coded phrase “Manhattan liberals”), neither was Colmes’ characterization that they “played with” the dead child fair or particularly sensitive. He probably shouldn’t have brought it up at all, but his critique, while cold and lacking in relevance, fell well short of mockery.


UPDATE: Colmes has tweeted that he called Santorum and his wife and apologized for the comment, an apology which was accepted.

Kirsten Powers: How Did Trump Become A ‘Kingmaker’ In The Republican Party?

Mediaite.com:

In case you’ve been living under a rock or willfully avoiding the news like a virus, you know that Donald Trump is going to host a Republican presidential debate on December 27th between Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. The head of the Republican party publicly expressed concerns about the debate, especially given the possibility Trump will decide to run as an independent.


Realistically speaking, some candidates would naturally make the decision to avoid the Trump debate for that very reason, but Trump seems to think the other candidates are afraid of him, and this was the topic of discussion on tonight’s Hannity. Sean Hannity discussed the Donald’s influence in the Republican party with Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers and Republican strategist Kevin Madden.

The head of the Republican party publicly expressed concerns about the debate, especially given the possibility Trump will decide to run as an independent.


Realistically speaking, some candidates would naturally make the decision to avoid the Trump debate for that very reason, but Trump seems to think the other candidates are afraid of him, and this was the topic of discussion on tonight’s Hannity. Sean Hannity discussed the Donald’s influence in the Republican party with Democratic strategist Kirsten Powers and Republican strategist Kevin Madden.


RELATED: Andrew Breitbart: Why Would GOP Candidates Go On MSNBC, But Turn Down Trump?


Hannity wondered why any candidate polling poorly would avoid an invitation to such a high-profile event, given that any airtime is good exposure for these candidates. (Long-shot candidate Buddy Roemer has, in fact, publicly asked Trump to participate in the debate.) Powers found it hard to just accept that Trump suddenly became the Jeff Probst of the Republican party.


“I don’t understand how Donald Trump suddenly became this kingmaker in the Republican party. I’m a little puzzled by it, and I… ’cause it makes total sense to me that Republicans are saying no to him. And even this idea that people now go up to see Donald Trump to kiss his ring, I just… I don’t know, it’s just puzzling.”


Hannity countered that when Trump briefly “entered” the race, he was polling well. Yes, and Breaking Dawn: Part One broke box office records, it’s still a crappy Twilight movie. What other strong metric does Trump have going for him, according to Hannity? He’s a harsh Obama critic. Powers didn’t buy this explanation, pointing out the Obama administration has plenty of critics who aren’t wealthy megalomaniacs.


Madden, meanwhile, argued that one of the problems with having Trump host a debate would be that the Donald would gravitate towards the center of attention, as is his modus operandi. He expressed concerns that such a distraction would take away from the candidates’ efforts in early primary states. Madden also made the obvious observation that Trump is most likely not going to run for president as an independent, but says it as often as possible in order to garner the media’s attention.

Sean Hannity Grills Gloria Allred Over Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Claim

Mediaite.com:

Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred visited the set of Sean Hannity‘s Fox News program to discuss her client Sharon Bialek‘s much-publicized sexual assault allegations against Herman Cain.


RELATED: Numbers Don’t Lie: Gloria Allred Gets More TV Airtime Than Her Client, Sharon Bialek


Hannity began by asking Allred whether the possibility of a book deal in the future means her client stands to make rather motivating money off her allegations. “I’ve spoken with her,” Allred responded. “There is no financial motive.” She drove her point home by telling Hannity to “take the book deal off the table; it’s not happening.”


The two eventually became embroiled in an argument over the specifics of Bialek’s account of what happened in or beside or adjacent to a car. Hannity later asked Allred why she didn’t let lay the entire story of what allegedly happened between Cain and her client out on the table instead of essentially teasing that there is “more to come.”


Allred’s response: “Don’t you like surprises, Sean?”


“This is someone’s life!” Hannity argued. “And what about these women?” Allred responded.


“An employer,” she later added, “never admits sexual harassment.” And what’s more, “an employer never admits anything in a settlement agreement.” She also called Cain’s previous claim that he had been merely comparing his first accuser’s height against that of his wife, “preposterous” and a demonstration of “disdain for the common sense of the American public.”

Rudy Giuliani: I Would've Told Occupy Wall Street Protesters, 'Streets Are Not For Sleeping'

For once I agree with Rudy Giuliani:

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani told Sean Hannity on his talk show yesterday that, if he was still mayor, he would have told the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters, “You are not allowed to sleep on the streets.”


On his show, Hannity asked Giuliani how he would have dealt with the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement if he was still mayor of New York City - to which Giuliani replied, “Well I had a rule and I enforced it as best I could and pretty effectively. The rule was: You’re not allowed to sleep on the streets. Sorry, not allowed to sleep on the streets. Streets are not for sleeping.”


“Sleeping on the streets is a dysfunctional act. It harms the person, it harms society, it leads to unsanitary conditions that affect public health,” added Giuliani. “The first one who decided to sleep there should have been removed and then the second one, and the third one, and the fourth one and the fifth one.”


“They can protest during the daytime if they want to, but if you want to stay over in New York City overnight, you got to rent a room, and if you’re homeless we got plenty of shelters for you,” said Giuliani.

Sarah Palin: If The Tea Party Were ‘Domestic Terrorists’ Obama Would Pal Around With Us

Gotta admit, she got in a great line there:

After a lukewarm segment last night, Sarah Palin returned to Hannity tonight to defend the Tea Party from criticisms comparing them to terrorists. The topic put Palin squarely back in her element, and she took the opportunity to slam President Obama for not being more vocal in opposing the hyperbolic rhetoric. Arguing that the administration had been far too lenient on actual terrorists to permit such language, she quipped, “if we were real domestic terrorists, I don’t think President Obama would have a problem with us.”


Palin noted that the casual labeling of Tea Partiers as “racist” during the debt debate proved that the speech the President gave after the Tucson shootings imploring political leaders to watch their language was “all talk”– a speech that host Sean Hannity noted Palin was particularly sensitive to since her crosshairs ad featuring Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shot a significant amount of outcry her way. “He wasn’t sincere in that,” she argued, “and that is typical Barack Obama… it’s blah blah blah. Otherwise,” she continued, “he’d be on Biden… to tone it down a bit.”


Palin then argued that the President’s record with terrorists didn’t give him much room to criticize others. “If we were really domestic terrorists, President Obama would want to be palling around with us.” She cited his relationship to Bill Ayers, “shaking hands with [Hugo] Chavez, wanting to read U.S. Miranda rights to alleged suspected foreign terrorists,” as evidence that he doesn’t mind terrorists all that much– “if we were real domestic terrorists, I don’t think President Obama would have a problem with us.”


She then railed against the administration and the media for the hyperbole that included a very well-placed Britney Spears reference: “Let’s call them out on their hypocrisy, Sean,” she advised, “because enough is enough. I’m not going to sit around with a sticker plastered on my forehead that says ‘hit me, baby, one more time.’”

Ann Coulter: It Would Be A “Step Down” For Sarah Palin To Run For President

Coulter's not being "coy" so much as she knows Palin's too polarizing to have any chance at beating Barry in 2012:

Ann Coulter is being coy about her support for Republicans running in 2012– almost as coy as the would-be candidates themselves. While she’s unequivocal in her support of definitely, totally, absolutely not a candidate New Jersey governor Chris Christie, she told Sean Hannity last night that there is one candidate she really can’t see being a viable presidential candidate: Sarah Palin, because she’s got too much to lose.


Coulter told Hannity that, while she believes Christie is “amazing” and is not as keen on some of the other candidates, “I don’t want to attack Republicans.” Plus, she added, whether they say they’re running or not, “it’s not relevant what they say until August or September.” But she made an exception from the list of likely candidates: “the one I will say in particular because it just seems so crazy for an obvious reason, she noted, “Every time I hear about Sarah Palin running for president.” She declined to say whether she would support Palin for president– “perhaps” was the best Hannity got out of her–but she also couldn’t see it happening. “She is so huge right now,” Coulter argued, “she has so much power. She sends down a Twitter on death panels and she shuts down the health care debate. It would be a step down for her to run.”


So why keep the door open? Coulter speculates, as it has been so widely, that “she’s saying that because Newt [Gingrich] told her the speaking fees go higher.” To this Hannity objects: “Newt is definitely running,” chiding Coulter for “narrowing the field unnecessarily.” To this, Coulter at least added that she could see Mitt Romney running again, and that “he may well be our best candidate,” a slight lilt in her voice indicating she wasn’t exactly ecstatic about that.

Ann Coulter: Liberals Don’t Care About Blacks, Women Or Gays, They Just Want To Destroy The Family

Mediaite.com:

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter continued her “Draft Chris Christie for President” tour by appearing with Sean Hannity tonight and suggesting “I don’t care if he wants to run, his country needs him.” She also had a few comments about liberals and issued a warning to Hannity.


After arguing that the Republican party should be more welcoming of the gay community (so long as they don’t advocate for legalization of gay marriage), Coulter turned her focus to attacking liberals who she believed exploit gays and other groups in order to advance an entire different agenda. Coulter elaborated:


“Liberals have been using one special interest group after another for their attacks on the family . . . liberals don’t care about blacks, they don’t care about women, they don’t care about gays – they care about destroying the family so that you have one loyalty and that is to the state.”


Finally, Coulter reminded Hannity that in the last presidential election, he, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin all complained about the Republican candidates but did not clearly support any one of them. As a result, Coulter theorized, that was the reason why Republicans were stuck with Senator John McCain as the nominee. In order to avoid a similar bad outcome, Coulter scolded Hannity and said, “I’m not letting you do that this time, we’re picking the best candidate and we’re getting behind him.”

Sarah Palin Tells Liberals That She's "Not Going To Shut Up"

Part 2



Part 3



Unlike this biased idiot's review over at Mediaite, I thought Palin's response to all the smears and blame-game theatrics going on courtesy of the Left over the past week or so was on-point and well-spoken:

Last night Sarah Palin appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity, and although some feel all she did was preach to the choir, she actually accomplished a whole lot more with this passionate and, dare I say, courageous appearance. Not only did she rally her conservative troops, but she also laid the foundation for her continued relevance as a national figure while also skillfully establishing why she believed the mainstream media, and liberals in general, despise her. Simply put, she’s the most effective messenger for conservative principles and she will not be silenced.


Despite calling the Arizona shooter “evil” and praying for the families impacted by the tragedy, critics continue to think Palin focused too much on herself as the victim. Yet remember Palin was the one dragged into this conversation, by no choice of her own, with allegations implying she and others somehow contributed to the murders. Therefore, why shouldn’t anyone in her position be entitled to every opportunity to defend themselves against such vitriolic smears?


Palin claimed her controversial video response to the tragedy “wasn’t self-defense, it was defending those who were falsely accused,” which also included other conservative commentators and members of the Tea Party. This eagerness to fight for unrestrained freedom of speech for all and her refusal to apologize for using the term “blood libel” are early signs of Palin’s leadership capabilities and her confidence to never back down, even when under intense fire from the media.


Palin’s tenacity in part derives from her rational understanding of why she is so frequently targeted:


“I know that it isn’t about me personally, but it is about the message, that I am not hesitant at all to spread across this country, and that is that our country is on the wrong track. We’ve got to get it back on the right track . . . to allow us to be prosperous and healthy and safe again. . . . Those on the left hate my message, and they’ll do all that they can to stop me.”


Her message, more specifically hinted at during this appearance, is a growing concern over the debt, the looming energy crisis, and various national security policies.


No matter one’s political beliefs though, it’s hard to dispute that Palin displays a fierce determination in the face of substantial adversity with her promise that “I’m not going to sit down, I’m not going to shut up” about issues in which she believes and with an admirable willingness to “take the darts and the arrows” she receives from all critics while continuing to speak. And when her most significant issue is ensuring that “peaceful dissent and discussion about ideas [is not] stifled by a tragic event,” Palin’s efforts toward this goal should surely be welcomed by all.


Before this interview, some considered Palin at the end of her political career, puke-worthy or not well-educated, while many conservative voices refrained from publicly defending Palin or even suggested dismissing her as radioactive or overly scripted. Did all of these commentators and politicians make inaccurate assessments or premature predictions more reflective of conventional wisdom or their own wishful thinking, rather than based on what now seems to be Palin’s realistic political future? “You betcha!”
