Ann Coulter's New Book Takes On Media's Obama Love

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

White House press secretary Dana Perino estimated that it would be eight months before the media fell out of love with Barack Obama, but she obviously wasn’t talking about Ann Coulter.

Coulter, who recently had her jaw wired shut, will soon publish yet another new book, "Guilty: Liberal ‘Victims’ And Their Assault On Media." Set to hit shelves the first week of January – that is, right before Obama’s inauguration – "Guilty" will poke fun at the media’s adoration for Obama, his Democratic peers, and take on the what Coulter describes as the "left gone wild." From the front jacket:

When it comes to bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case, ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly vicious, Coulter dissects so-called victims who are invariably the oppressors.

For instance: While B. Hussein Obama piously condemned attacks on candidates’ families, his media and campaign surrogates ripped open the court-sealed divorce records of his two principal opponents in his Senate race in Illinois.

The real question now becomes not when the media will become more critical of Obama, but whether the public will buy it - figuratively and literally, of course.

Merill- If you were to READ my website you would find that my grandmother’s family was divided by the Wall. Some lived in West Germany and some lived in East Germany. I am pro-life. Feedom of Speech. Thank you.

My post was in regards to the remarks you made about Hitler. It was really thoughtless of you “IF” you knew that my family was divided by the war. Half in West Germany and the other in East Germany. However, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. For you to assume “When you start writing and urging people to bomb women’s clinics, or shoot doctors you can bet your boots I will try and shut you up” is really ignorant on your part. Shame on you. If you were to READ my posts you would discover the so-called “anti-abortion stuffs posted on every article written for wowowow” is untrue. You are making false, uneducated assumptions about me. I am sorry that my opinion is different than yours however no one is going to shut anyone up for voicing their opinion. This is not East Germany and if you lived in East Germany you would know what I mean. Perhaps you need to look up the definition of Freedom of Speech.

Merrell, I find it quite interesting that their are posters on this site that insist on defending this woman. She is ALL that you have said she is. What was that, people who support her? You think I’m wrong? Take a look and listen and then we’ll discuss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPGu-7PjIp0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADw76swAwZE

Well this is all very interesting, but since wild horses couldn’t force me to buy anything written by Ann Coulter, I’m going over to the “jaw wired shut” thread where the real fun is.

Maurine: Why do women hate Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin? Is it because they hate Bush that they hate all republicans? Is it because Palin and Coulter are good looking? I’ve read that many women think Palin is uneducated. Does anybody have specific reasons? Watch this video of the some of the more intelligent people that voted for Obama on election day. http://howobamagotelected.com/ Back to women and their rights. In 1920, a law was signed granting women the right to vote. In 1936, information on birth control is longer classified as obscene. in 1960, the FDA approves birth control pills.In 1965, the Supreme Court struck down the one remaining state law prohibiting contraceptives by married couples. In 1966, N.O.W. is formed. In 1976, the first marital rape law is enacted, making it illegal for a husband to rape his wife. In 1986, the Supreme Court finds that sexual harassment is a form of illegal job discrimination. There are obviously many more. Coulter and Palin would be advocates for women, if women would accept them. You don’t know anymore about Obama than you do Palin. We don’t even know if Obama is a U.S. citizen. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=79900 I don’t believe the hype about Obamas birth certificate, he couldn’t be that stupid, or could he.

Mr. Marks, you have said: “Is it because Palin and Coulter are good looking?” asking us if that is why we women don’t like those particular women. I will be among the first to say I think Sarah Palin is a very attractive woman; obviously blessed with great genes. She is telegenic and missed her calling as I think she would be great on camera as a spokesperson or a sit com actress. Sarah’s Adventrues on the Frozen Tundra. Heck, I’d even write a year’s worth of scripts for her to be in her own sit com if she’d get out of politics. But when you say Ms. Coulter is good looking, I have to completely and totally disagree with you. She is not good looking enough for me to have a case of envy over. No, that particular woman manages to alienate me with her venemous prose and sentences alone. THAT is not an attractive woman in the least.

I’m not a fan of her work, I think she’s a very angry bitter person that something terrible happened to in her youth

Interesting strategy: have your jaw wired shut at the beginning of a book tour. I guess it does force people to read.

I feel blessed to live on the west coast. We haven’t had to read about Ann Coulter or her so-called musings for almost a year. And then suddenly she’s back and with a new book criticizing the hand that feeds her, the media and the newly elected president. Coulter and the other rabble-rousers from the far right need to take a long look at what they’ve contributed to increase and fertilize the wide divide that exists between Americans. Ann Coulter is an extreme example of a “mean girl” all grown-up. It’s too bad that people buy her books and support her, intractible, vile attitude.

The fact that this woman could generalize all liberals (the definition of that word being OPEN TO PROGRESS) as being “Godless” only suggests that nothing she has to say is to be taken seriously. What a waste of paper and ink.

I’ve said before when this woman’s name has been brought up on this web site……………… She’s the most Despicable………..Vile………Cold blooded…….. Hard Hearted…………mean……………Ugly……… Lying B___H I’ve ever had knowledge about. In fact there’s one word in the English language to describe a woman that is thought of in the lowest of low terms………… If I’m not mistaken it has been used on this site before when discussing the Word McCain called his wife in front of reporters………. Well………….that’s the perfect word in my opinion to describe Ann Coulter. A C__T………………………. I’ll let you fill in the blanks………..I don’t want to get into trouble with Wow staff for swearing on this site.

Coulter has created her own money niche. She reallly does not have anything useful to say as far as I am concerned. She just spews negativity and venom while trying to look sexy and provacative for the camera. She’s disgusting. Yea disgusting —exploiting being a woman under the obvious guise of being a “reporter?” “author” or “talking female head”. What a political opportunist. Regarding her new book, I think she’s basically positioning herself to be one of the opposition “cabel network” future Obama Administration negative counterpoint talking heads. I wonder when she started writing this book most likely well before the election was over. She probably has drafts filed all over the place she lives in anticipation of making money off those in government and elsewhere who are trying to move our Country forward as well as the world.
