How dumb can a smart person get?

I try very very hard not to hate people, as it's a useless emotion to dwell on and serves no purpose. You see, among other things, I hate Paris Hilton, reality TV, Rush Limbaugh, radical religious groups, gansta rap, cookies with rasins in them and every four years, I hate 90% of the American Olympic Team (the 10% not included is of course the female gymnastics team. I love them!). Therefore, I try not to talk or think about these things.

Also, I try very very hard not to give attention whores any kind of spotlight, as they don’t really care what is said about them, just that it’s being said.

With that being said, I have found a small list of some of the things Republican bitch queen Ann Coulter has said over the last few years and am posting them just for the sheer sake of letting everyone reading this know how utterly confused I am about how a person like this can be so powerful in American politics. I refuse to believe she actually agrees with everything that comes out of her mouth. No one can be that blind. Even an American.

Think about it. How much attention would this blog get if I started writing that I hated black people, supported torture as the only right form of punishment for kids, told everyone that the only proper place for a woman is on her knees in front of me and supported pedophilia as an art form? Ann Coulter is exactly the same as that; shocking and the opposite of normal human values. Ann (and Fox News for that matter) has found the tender spot in the media that hurts the most and is punching and punching like there’s no tomorrow. And the sad thing is the public are eating it up, not as what it is (very frightening polital views by the majority), but as another piece of “must see TV”! I can’t believe that part of it! “Hey! Pat O’Brian is on! I wonder what he’s going to say tonight!?” It’s not supposed to be shocking! Go watch Jerry Springer if you want that kind of entertainment, ass!
