Coulter on Obama: "It's shocking that ... he's probably going to be our next president, President Hussein"
Summary: On Fox News' Your World, Ann Coulter repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and said, "It's shocking that ... he's probably going to be our next president, President Hussein." Less than a week ago, Coulter also referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama," and asserted: "[H]is first big accomplishment" was "being born half-black. ... He wouldn't be running for president if he weren't half-black."

Wonder what Ann's middle name is? If she doesn't have one I have a suggestion.
It's Hart. But something tells me I'm going to like your suggestion a lot better. >:-)

It's Hart.
Which is ironic, since Ann Coulter has no heart. Or brain.
But it has been rumored that she has a penis to go with her Adam's apple....

Aside from your reference, I'm struggling to find any possible way 'Dubya' is an attempt at an insult? Its more like you'd say it as if you knew him personally, where as Hussein is meant to denigrate Obama as though being a Moslem is somehow denigrating?

Let's see, Coulter's middle name starts with an H... I'm guessing Hole?
That works - A. Hole Coulter!!!

Annie Baby, Once again, remember, Obama is half white. And exactly what are you? Russian, Polish, Italian(that could never happen), German, please, I don't want to goggle her..that in itself would ruin Valentines Day...
I think her middle name might be BillieBob.
And Fox, please change the name of that show..I don't think many people believe it is their world which you are talking about. It is plainly a Bizarro world with a slant towards lunacy that the right lives in.
Ever notice when a RightWinger steps out of their "safe zone", they cannot speak in sentences. Ever see Limbaugh in a debate. Although he is a master of it, he clenches his fists whenever asked to face questions and pounds and pounds and pounds.
And Annie, I didn't know you had a book coming out.

"Annie Baby, Once again, remember, Obama is half white. And exactly what are you? Russian, Polish, Italian(that could never happen)"
Sadly, from my point of view, Execrable Annie bears an Irish name, O'Coltair in Gaelic. It's an ancient sept whose ancestral lands are in County Down, in the North of Ireland. I have no idea what else is in her gene pool.

Let Ann have her pet names, if she has nothing else. Obviously an Obama presidency is an anathema to her very livelihood of hateful and poisonous rhetoric, so she lashes out with disrespect.
For someone who lives to politically divide and slash, a politician that doesn't share that angle is a threat. Not hard to figure why she prefers Hillary over Obama.

See you wouldn't think the same person could write those two statements. Your first demonstrates exactly why MMFA highlights this bs from Coulter, and then your second seems to imply MMFA is off the mark in highlighting waht she has to say?

OT, but I sure hope MMFA puts up a thread about the disrespect house republicans showed Lantos today. We ain't talking about an external event organized by outside sources like we had with Wellstone, this was way different!

The American people have a right to know who they are voting for. Barack Hussein Obama.
If the American people don't know Obama's middle name by now they've been living in the bunker with Dicky.
If having the middle name Hussein makes that much of a difference in how a person votes they wouldn't vote for him anyway.

Pete, the corporate conservative Republican Party controlled news media not only highlights Coulter, the corporate conservative Republican Party controlled news media SUSTAINS Coulter, and/or attacks any person or group that criticizes her.
When Black Talk Radio Hosts like Joe Madison and/or Warren Ballantine of the national black talk radio network THE POWER, and/or Roland S. Martin or Clifford Kelley of Chicago's black talk radio station WVON-AM 1690 blast Coulter, the conservative media would attack these hosts and/or black talk radio as a whole.

"Because............THE MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
So, let me follow your logic; If I take the garbage to the curb (I know, I know, Tommy is always putting out garbage), and you pick it up and scatter it all over the neighborhood, then it's my fault and not yours?
By joe, I think I've got it.........

Posted by pete592 in reply to tommy
By joe, your snarkily simplistic analogy isn’t even close...
The main flaw is this: You are not simply taking the garbage to the curb and leaving it there.
YOU are the one who is scattering it all over the neighborhood and causing a nuisance. You do this out of complete disrespect for you neighbors and due to the simple fact that you can because you are empowered with privilege by City Hall because you are also a member of the city council.
A neighborhood advocate recognizes that this is a problem, but realizes that City Hall is simply turning a blind eye to their own Council Member and pretending the problem doesn’t exist. The neighborhood advocate then decides to record a video of you scattering the garbage, then requests all of your neighbors to attend a public meeting at the community center regarding the problem. The neighbors attend and see a video of you scattering the garbage. The neighbors get mad and contact City Hall with the hope that widespread public pressure will bring a resolution to the problem.

No, I am taking the garbage out there, where it sits, where it stays, where it essentially dies - of course, that is on me, my bad, my responsibility totally.
But then you pick it up and scatter it around, airing it further, giving it life, fueling its stench even more - that, my friend, is on you, that is your part in it.

Er, I would say with confidence that MMFA is highlighting EXACTLY that point, Coulter adds nothing to the discussion, and the wider point is SHE SHOULD NOT BE INVITED TO ADD POLITICAL COMMENTARY ON ANY NEWS SHOW WITH ANY OUNCE OF INTEGRITY. I see you take this as an opportunity to sideswipe MediaMatters, having already stated agreement that Ann Coulter's comments are useless and disrespectful.... wow that makes perfect sense Tommy. Posting for the sake of posting perhaps?

Quoting the words of Black Talk Radio Host Coz Carson of Chicago's Black Talk Radio Station WVON-AM 1690, Coulter is a shrill hack!
Carson also told all of Coulter's fascist racist white supremacist theocratic fan base to "Kick Rocks!"

Not only is Ann an a-double-crooked-letter hole, she is also a racist,a nd a white supremacist, in addition to being a hate hag.
I challenge Ol' Liar Ann to repeat her latest racist white supremacist attacks on Obama on black talk radio, specifically, on Chicago's black talk radio station WVON-AM 1690 http://www.wvon.com so I can hear WVON-AM 1690's black talk radio hosts Roland S. Martin and/or Clifford Kelley and/or Salim Muwakill and/or Dorothy Tillman all barbecue Ol' Liar Ann right after they're done barbecuing another racist white supremacist conservative hate hag Laura Ingraham.

Those labels also apply to the hideous band of theocrats, fascists, racists, sociopaths, and white supremacists who love Ol' Liar Ann, and many of them share the same personal indictments that Ol' Liar Ann has.

What it comes down to is, they are scared sh*tless of the of the kind of grassroots movement an authentic liberal can stir. When people are made aware that they have a friend in government, that they are guaranteed a voice in our democracy, that is exactly when the corporatists, who have selfishly driven OUR government and OUR democracy down the road to ruin, that is when the elitists get nasty.
So brace yourselves, it's gonna get ugly on the Democratic nominee. (Ugly is all they have.)
To win, it's going to take a unified Democratic party working harder than the Republicans are. The good news is that the fruit of conservative failure is so ripe, that the only setback to getting the harvest in will be a lack of available people to undertake that monumental task.

The answer, Jeter, is NO, I don't. I am using WVON-AM 1690 as one of the keye elements in my challenge posts to Coulter, specifically, I am challenging Coulter and/or other racist white supremacist conservatives to repeat their racist white supremacist attacks on Obama on that or any other black talk radio station, so that black talk radio hosts like WVON's Roland Martin and/or Clifford Kelley and/or Dorothy Tillman can challenge and/or barbecue her for them! So can the black callers who will feel inclined to barbecue Coulter like a steak!
Or are you saying that black talk radio has no right to comment on any of Coulter's lies and hate against Obama and/or anyone else?

Is Obama's middle name whipping the Dittoheads into a frenzy? Do they hate and fear Saddam Hussein enough that Obama's middle name invokes that fear and hatred? As a reasonable person, I always knew that Saddam wasn't and couldn't ever be a threat to the US. Our occupation of Iraq has made it perfectly obvious that they NEED a man like Saddam to keep things under control.
