Top Six Reasons Fascist Pig Ann Coulter Has Said Too Much Already and Should Shut the Fuck Up
April 27, 2017 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
One: She is a shameless racist who celebrates America’s roots in slavery and mass murder, and its current reality as a white supremacist country, and purveys the ludicrous myth that white people are victims of genocide.
» “This is a country created by white people ... I am a native because I am a descendant from settlers.” (Cited by International Business Times, April 26, 2017)
» Taking down the pro-slavery Confederate flag in South Carolina “strip[s] Americans of their history, and their heritage, this is the political correctness that Trump is going against.” (https://mediamatters.org/video/2016/09/20/ann-coulter-attacks-second-generation-immigrant-nikki-haley-taking-down-confederate-flag-south/213219)
» Claiming that the U.S. immigration system deliberately aims to reduce the percentage of whites in the population, Coulter said: “In 1960 whites were 90 percent of the country. The Census Bureau recently estimated that whites already account for less than two-thirds of the population and will be a minority by 2050 ... One may assume the new majority will not be such compassionate overlords as the white majority has been. ... If this sort of drastic change were legally imposed on any other group than white Americans, it would be called genocide.” (“Bush’s America: Roach Motel,” Ann Coulter column, January 2, 2010)
Two: She advocates for barbaric fascist repression of Black and Latino youth.
» “I have to say I’m all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the ‘hood’ to be flogged publicly.” (“The Wisdom of Ann Coulter” in The Washington Monthly, October 2001)
Three: She hates Muslims and is whipping up a pogromist mentality against them.
» “ISIS is not at our doorstep. Illegal immigrants are not only at our doorstep, but millions of them are already through the door, murdering far more Americans than ISIS ever will.” (https://mediamatters.org/research/2015/05/27/immigrants-are-more-dangerous-than-isis-and-10/203769)
» “Don’t want terrorism in US? Stop importing Muslims!” (http://www.mediaite.com/online/ann-coulter-on-paris-attack-donald-trump-was-elected-president-tonight/)
» Speaking of the widow of the alleged Boston Marathon bomber: “I don’t care if she knew about [the bombing]. She ought to be in prison for wearing a hijab.” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/23/ann-coulter-hijab_n_3139513.html)
» “I think our motto should be post-9-11, ‘raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.’” (Speech to the CPAC conference, as reported by Michelle Malkin, cited in Washington Post column by Howard Kurtz. Other witnesses concur.)
Four: She creates public opinion for mass murder of civilians in present and future U.S. wars.
» “I’m getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning.” (Interview with George Gurley, The New York Observer, January 10, 2005)
» “We know who the homicidal maniacs are [referring to Muslims] ... We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity ... That’s war.” (https://townhall.com/columnists/anncoulter/2001/09/14/this-is-war-n865496)
» “Perhaps we could put aside our national, ongoing, post-9/11 Muslim butt-kissing contest and get on with the business at hand: Bombing Syria back to the stone age.” (Coulter column: “Muslim Bites Dog,” February 15, 2006)
Five: She promotes virulent contempt for and hatred of women.
» “It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact.” (2003 interview cited in Cornell University Chronicle Online, April 17, 2006)
» “...single women look at the government as their husbands. ‘Please provide for me, please take care of me.’” (www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/12/15/ann-coulter-single-women-wanting-birth-control-look-at-the-government-as-their-husbands/)
Six: She directs heavy fire at bourgeois liberals who still uphold aspects of democracy, and bourgeois institutions, in order to clear a path for a full fascist crackdown on society.
» “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh [right-wing terrorist who bombed the Oklahoma Federal Building in 1995, killing 167 people] is he did not go to the New York Times building.” (Quoted in “Coultergeist” by George Gurley at The Observer, August 25, 2002)
» “Most public schools are, at best, nothing but expensive babysitting arrangements, helpfully keeping hoodlums off the street during daylight hours. At worst, they are criminal training labs, where teachers sexually abuse the children between drinking binges and acts of grand larceny.” (Guest on Hannity & Colmes, June 29, 2006)
» “We need somebody to put rat poisoning in [liberal former Supreme Court] Justice Stevens’ creme brulee. That’s just a joke, for you in the media.” (http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/01/27/coulter-jokes-about-poisoning-supreme-court-justice.html)
This is really only a small sampling of the poison that Coulter “brings to the conversation.” In reality, inviting her to a campus—or anywhere—makes as much sense as flooding a schoolyard with raw sewage so that the students can then have a reasonable discussion about what shit smells like.
