When someone says, 'We want our country back'... ... What the FUCK do they mean? Can someone please explain that to me? because... i really want to know.
They mean nothing but to infuriate you, distract you, and to attempt to get you to give them attention. Don't do it, man.
people lost their country to the corporations a long time ago. you want to know who owns america? go look in your refrigerator, or go look at the military planes sitting at your big city airport.

What amazes me is that people like Coulter, rather than be in on solving real world and humanitarian problems, resorts to petty bipartisan and attention whoring games… and people actually don't see above her enough to simply ignore it all. They get distracted and feed into it by taking her bait and getting angry. (no offense to anyone in particular here)
I think to ignore a bully is not a good solution because they almost count on good people not stepping in. I feel bullies need to be called on their behavior, not ignored!
We finally agree on something. Her hashtag does not denigrate the abduction of 100 girls.
It denigrates the abduction of over 200 girls.
Ann Coulter is a pig. She is a cold-hearted, mean-spirited, manipulative pig who will do and say anything to remain in the public eye and make money. Plain and simple. She knew exactly what she was doing when she made up the sign, and she knew she'd take a lot of heat.
The wife of the president was trying to help in any way she could and Ann made light of the fact that 200+ girls have been abducted just to get a nice little cheap shot in. She is so filled with hatred and rage at the opposing political party and its sitting president that she is willing to cop a joke at the expense of a well meaning and desperate campaign started by the first lady which has nothing to do with politics.
I say without any degree of hesitation: Fuck Ann Coulter and shame on anyone who even remotely defends her.
I don't defend what she did - it's just more of the stupid childish behavior that social media has encouraged among idiots - but I do defend her right to make an ass of herself.
First off, the use of the word "denigrate" is not entirely correct in this thread to begin with, but I was just going with it as it was being used. Nice try on the whole reading comprehension angle, but you're reaching juuuuust a bit.
Her sign belittles the hashtag campaign and the first lady's sign. Better?

She's implying that 'her country' has been taken away from her by dark-skinned people, and by those who don't believe that their role on this Earth is to prostrate themselves before the altar of $$$, and who are so unpatriotic and ungrateful that they actually don't believe that the purpose of their lives is to compete with everybody else in an effort to buy more stuff, and to rape the planet in the process. She's also referring to people who don't go to Church every Sunday and sing hymns in the name of a 2000 year old Middle Eastern desert religion, while filling the coffers of the local huckster. And she's referring to the fact that a black President has hijacked her country for the benefit of Communists and Muslims.

Bullies are ultimately insecure and desperately need attention (and love). Giving them the attention they seek, even if it's negative, is still attention. They win when we react to them. Always.

bullies always win anyway. You can whoop a bullies ass and they still won because you had to sink to their level. Wel,l Ann Coulter is a schoolyard bully who already has the attention she needs. Neocons love her, she sells a ton of books, I'll bet Sally Sue even lets Jeffro call out "ANNNNN!!!" when they get down. There's already a crowd cheering this bully so we progressives at least have to jump in and throw down.

Fuck anyone who judges me for that!
I've found the solution:
Fuck everybody!

Easier said than done
Speaking to a couple of comments above, is Coulter really a bully? She may be many things, but I don't see her as such. The term bully - to me, anyway - seems to get slapped onto anyone who irritates or offends.
Lots of stuff angers me - some festers for a bit, some I address, most is tossed away.
I mean, consider the source of this particular outrage.

was the rush pushback on the sandra fluke comments worth it? was the chic-fil-a outrage worth it? Was the st patty parade worth it? Was occupy wall st worth it? How about the outrage over the clippers owner's comments and the Michael Sam deal? Some of these things pan out, some don't, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to be active in denunciation. Our voice is what we have to fight inequality and injustice...as long as the ignorant limbaughs and coulters are spouting filth from enormous pulipts I will be squeeking from my little corner until maybe someday my voice grows stronger...at least we can squeek together..
Bully is thrown around alot where it isn't appropriate but Ann is close enough in my book. She uses her gang of friends to belittle people on an individual basis plenty often...this fracas isn't about bullying but the analogy was there so I went with it, in spirit with the "denigration" situation.
I'm not too worried about Ann Coulter who routinely calls people "faggot" and "harpies," goes out of her way to say the most horrifying and obnoxious things and gleefully takes a 7-figure paycheck to do it. She can dish it out, the cunt muncher can take it, if you want my opinion.
Well worth a listen, if you haven't heard it before...

There's a lot of hate that needs feeding and she's perfected the recipe.
Is it hate she likes feeding and having fed or her bank account? I'm wonder if it's more about the latter. Maybe she really does believe the nonsense she spews. Maybe the same is for Limbaugh and Beck and Palin and and all the other screaming, bawling pundits. But I really suspect it's more about ego and money.

Yeah, I can't stand her either but using the C word brings this thread to a close. Let's rise above and keep our discussions elevated instead of sinking to her level. Thanks all.

Like I said, she's not worth it to me.
per the family guy episode, this is a picture of her working at fox news. when she is not on the air she is the breakroom refrigerator...
