Ann Coulter to Appear on Wednesday's 'Today' Show

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

This morning, wowOwow has learned that, rather than being "banned for life" by NBC as was widely reported yesterday, the "Today" show has rescinded its "Coulter cancellation" and Ann Coulter will be a guest on the show. 

The appearance will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, January 7. 

NBC’s actions have been under scrutiny, especially in light of the reported quote from one of its executives that anti-Obama sentiment was not welcome on the show at this time.

The surrounding controversy over the "Today" show appearance has only heightened attention around the author’s newest book, Guilty! Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America. While certain right-wing bloggers have suggested the "Today" show slight was evidence of a conspiracy among liberals to squelch attention to the book, the ensuing controversy about NBC has certainly played into the hands of the author and publisher.

If you ask me, it’s tantamount to a hate crime to give this woman any air time at all!

I agree 100%. This woman is so full of venom (and herself!) she should be banned from this country. If she is so upset with liberals, why doesn’t she go somewhere more conservative — like North Korea!

Second ammendment right! Besides they need ratings and like it or not they were exposed once again for their lack of journalistic integrity!

I was one of the people that called to protest her appearance. We do need criticism of govt but we don’t need more hate mongering by this Republican shill masquerading as “commentary”.. She’s the Jerry Springer of journalism & hate like hers was never tolerated in main stream media until Republicans came along to push her on us—-she would have stayed on some skin head show. The Bush era is over & so is she.

I suppose if Franken wrote a book…he also would not be welcome on the show? He is a commedian as well! She is a New York Times BEST selling author whether you agree with her take or not!

Grand Theft Auto is a best seller too.

Let’s dream that she froths and foams. Let’s pray she calls liberals “gays”. Let’s cross our fingers that she calls the President-elect an Oreo and his wife a bargain-basement Jackie Kennedy. And then let’s fervently hope that all those who like to describe Coulter as a “humorist” see her for the Joe McCarthy-knockoff she really is. And then —- but this is too much to hope for, isn’t it? —- let’s hope that those women wonder why they ever cheered for a woman who spewed filth they’d never let their kids get away with.

I couldn’t watch the whole tape. She’s really freakish. Huge Adam’s Apple…very intense and high strung…jumpy..can’t shut up and listen or let the interviewer finish a sentence. Can’t keep her legs together. Seems like a crack addict, and looks like Tom Petty….switched at birth? She’s such a bad joke….it’s amazing they let her on a legitimate news program…Fox News, yeah, but that’s the place for a freak show. http://www.ticketstogo.com/images_user/Concerts/T/Tom-Petty-344.jpg

She’ll make millions and sell millions of books off of this circus.

Carnegie Hill, you speak poetry. Yes, as Americans, we do have the freedom of free speech (First Amendment), except to cause harm. That is to say, no one is allowed to scream “Fire” in a crowded venue that creates panic. It is clear that La Coulter is a breed apart and she like her far-right hate mongering contingent haven’t done anything to keep “hate-speak” in a abeyance for the last eight years. She’s a best seller all right but it’s only because of the concerted effort of the Republican machine to purchase boxes of her hate-filled venom and give those books away to libraries and conservative think tanks. This era of hate mongering will one day in the future, OMG I sound like GWB, will one day be exposed for the harm that it has caused this country. Spreading deliberate misinformation is not one of the precepts of journalism and Coulter is just a hater, pure and simple. Note: The Second Amendment is the “Right to Bear Arms” not freedome of speech and religion, a concept that many have chosen to forget.

Belinda, I am afraid you are right. I had mixed emotions about an outright ban. I just can’t stand her. She will make money but it all comes out in the wash. The mood of the country now is not with her and I hope it never will. What a horrible country it would be.

I wish she and Rush would get together…that would be hilarious….that big fat loud-mouth slob would the god-awful ties who goes to the Dominican Republic with bottles of Viagra and a 50 year old anorexic screeching coke-head/boozehound who’s still trying to look like she’s young. Seriously turn the sound off and just look at her movements…she’s a coke head. http://www.ticketstogo.com/images_user/Concerts/T/Tom-Petty-344.jpg
