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."

Yay, Ann!!  You tell those durn lib-ruls how smart you are!  Don't forget to flip your hair!

Posted by socal7425 in reply to Kyle_Broflovski

So we're addressing Presidents by their middle names now.  That means that we have gone down the tubes for the last 7+ years under the brilliant leadership of President Walker.  Wonder what Ann's middle name is?  If she doesn't have one I have a suggestion.

Posted by snoopy in reply to socal7425

Please, don't even bring that name up. The current monkey will think he's a texas ranger if he hears it!

It's Hart.  But something tells me I'm going to like your suggestion a lot better.  >:-) 

Posted by wzwriter in reply to atheist

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....

Posted by hstybuf6553 in reply to socal7425

I have often heard the president referred to as W or Dubya.  I believe that's his middle initial.

Posted by snoopy in reply to hstybuf6553

Only because that was a "symbol" for him. Show 3 fingers, then drop #'s 1 and 3...

Posted by TomJoad in reply to snoopy

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?

Posted by snoopy in reply to TomJoad

I do have a bad habit of thinking others automatically know what I am referring to, so apologies. There is a well known vid of Bush giving the middle finger to someone while being filmed. I'm just taking advantage of that and using it as a means of saying he's been giving the finger to us.

Posted by kromecom48 in reply to hstybuf6553

You don't even try do you. It's to distinquish him from his father GEORGE H. Bush (for "Herbert"). Are you really that daft? -- btw, that's rhetorical.

Posted by kromecom48 in reply to kromecom48

Additionally, who would've ever allowed for a president with the middle name "Wilma?" All things being equal, "Dubya" works just fine.

Posted by snoopy

It's pretty obvious this is done on purpose. When's the last time you heard "pResident herbert"?

Posted by dbeden4153

Oh come on, it's not that shocking.  We've had a traitor in the White House for 7 years now...

Posted by Kyle_Broflovski

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.

"Obviously an Obama presidency is an anathema to her very livelihood of hateful and poisonous rhetoric, so she lashes out with disrespect....."(Re: Ann Coulter adds nothing to a political discussion) "I agree 100%, but I am not sure MMFA does, otherwise why is that whole lot of nothing highlighted here so often?"

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?

Posted by snoopy

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!

Ann's middle name is Hart.  Regardess of the name a a-hole is an a-hole.

Posted by zamfir273114

That is Mr. Hussein's, I mean Obama's, name. Coulter only speaks what millions of American's think. The American people have a right to know who they are voting for. Barack Hussein Obama.

Posted by tommy in reply to zamfir273114

The real reason for Coulters mention of Obama's middle name is not out of some need for full disclosure, it's so she can stroke her own ego, get attention, get under liberal's skin, and look foolish in the process.  She succeeds on all counts.

Posted by rjc in reply to tommy

She does not get under my skin. She's dead to me. ;)

 

Posted by see it real in reply to rjc

Quoting the words of "The Black Eagle" Joe Madison of the national black talk radio network XM 169/THE POWER, Ol' Liar Ann Coulter, and all of her hideous evil fans, are all just talking lies and saying nothing, in between their collective racism and white supremacy.

Posted by pearlene_scott1602 in reply to zamfir273114

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. 

Posted by atheist in reply to pearlene_scott1602

If the American people don't know Obama's middle name by now they've been living in the bunker with Dicky.

Indeed !  It's only been mentioned like a billion times, 900 million of those times on FOX alone, I'm sure.

Please, oh great oracle, tell us why his middle name is so important? what does it mean? oh great scribe, your subjects await your infinite wisdom...

Because...

THE MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Posted by atheist in reply to pete592

Is Tommy really B-O looking for ideas ?

Posted by see it real in reply to pete592

Because... THE MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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. 

Posted by tommy in reply to pete592

"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.

Posted by tommy in reply to pete592

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.

;) 

Posted by pete592 in reply to tommy

Nope.  You're wrong, and I'm right.

Posted by TomJoad in reply to tommy

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?

Posted by snoopy in reply to tommy

Tommy, we get that you get it, the reason for this is to highlight that there are millions (in zamfir's own words) who don't get it. I'd be happy as punch if most voters were as insightful as you and Jeter, but you've gotta stop wishing and start realizing that there are way too many uneducated dummies who fall for this hook line and sinker. You try to blow it off thinking that getting under liberal skin is a summary, but always never concede that the right wing extremists chant this crap like a bible verse. I know there is a moderate inside you, bring that tommy out again!

Posted by hstybuf6553 in reply to pete592

but it's entertaining.

Posted by pete592 in reply to hstybuf6553

And after all, isn't that what we watch "the news" for?

Posted by tman418

Barack Obama's middle name is the ONLY talking point that Coulter has about Obama. The ONLY one.

Isn't it Rush Limbaugh who constantly says, "Democrats can't win on the issues?" Well, looks like Ann Coulter has to be a Democrat!

Ann could use some human growth hormones. Maybe she could grow a little humanity... 

Posted by kromecom48

Here's the rub. Coulter is rube and a hack. She doesn't deserve the attention. FOX and any other network -- notably NBC -- need to be the focus of all our ire. Any one that gives this hack a platform deserves to be taken to task. It's not about the 1st Amendment, it's about being responsible broadcasters. Let her sell her hateful vitriol without the aid of the public airwaves. She certainly has the right to say these things, but no one has the obligation of amplifying them. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Zoroaster, et al., did just fine in spreading their messages without the aid of mass media. The fact that they resonated based on a universality was enough. Hate's just a hard sell, as it should be.

Posted by see it real in reply to kromecom48

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!"

When will this woman ever grow up? I suppose not until her fans do. Whenever she is on Fox News it's like a smart-alecky 4th grade brat sitting around the lunch table with her groupie friends.

Clevan, you just answered your own question, and answered it correctly.

Posted by see it real

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.

Posted by roundhouse

We shouldn't be suprised or even taken aback. This is the Republican smear gang. This is what they do, this is who they are. In their track record of irresponsibility and arrogance, they lack the political skill to defeat liberalism on the merits of conservatism. So they use replace debate with innuendo, strawmen and bogeymen.

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.

It's time for black talk radio to declare all out WAR against Ol' Liar Ann Coulter!  Chicago's black talk radio station WVON-AM 1690 http://www.wvon.com AND the national black talk radio network XM 169/THE POWER are BOTH ready to declare WAR on Coulter AND her allies in the conservative media AND all of her racist white supremacist fans!

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?

Posted by princeofwheels

What gets me about the "Annies' Sheep" is how stupid they are just by referring to Barack as Hussein. I will guess that 90% of those RIVOs, republans in vote only, don't even know that their hero, Romney isn't named Mitt..he is WILLARD.  Don't believe me, ask them. Hell. Cons won't even use their first names..guess Willard reminds eveyone of a rat.

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.
