Coulter Caught in Another Lie »
Posted by: bcphila 1 year, 11 months agoTwo days after ABC aired the conclusion of its controversial two-part miniseries, The Path to 9/11, Ann Coulter repeated a number of falsehoods about the "docudrama" and President Clinton's handling of terrorism, including alleging that the movie "relied on the 9/11 Commission Report"; that Clinton "refused the handover of [Osama] bin Laden"; and t

Sept. 15, 2006, 10:55 p.m.I think Ann Coulter has a serious mental problem. Perhaps a neo-con psychiatrist can oblige and help her out of her misery. Apparently the more exposure she gets, the more shrill, psychotic and irrelevant she becomes. There must be a name for this compulsive abnormal behavior!
By the way, the list of names in the sidebar at the JWR newsletter reads like a who's who of neocon rejects floating in one of Washington's Stink Tanks!!!

you have your dim beams on, just like the rest of the liberal America haters. If An Coulter is "irrelevant", then why is she so popular? Her books are best sellers. She simply voices the opposing view to yours. And I remind you, she voices the views of the MAJORITY of this country, not the simplistic and naive views of the left. I find it hypochritical that the left insists on squelshing the voice of the right, but is appalled when the right challenges the voice of the left.

Sept. 16, 2006, 12:28 a.m.By the way, the movie was very well done, and I suppose it touched a nerve with the liberals because it exposed some painful truths about their handling of the events leading to 9/11.

Sept. 16, 2006, 8:46 a.m.Crocodile - she has a right to express her views but should keep them "lie' free.
Some of her statements appear to be that of a psychotic not just an ultra plus right winger. (No I am not a psychiatrist)
Her views can not be the views of the majority, look at the polls, and I believe many conservatives find her offensive.
And you suffer from that whatever I think and say is true don't confuse me with the facts desease.
What an outrageous charge! Liberals don't hate America. They love their country as I am sure you do. They just don't agree with your vision for it which probably includes a one party system.
She is very popular with the true haters in America; haters of free speech, thinking people, reasonable people and anyone who is for compromise. (Not appeasers)
Ciao.

Sept. 16, 2006, 1:21 p.m.If President Clinton and his wife Hillary were not so consumed with damage control over his illacit affaires, Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinski, and a host of others, he may have paid attention to his job and delt with Bin Laden as he was advised.
Bill Clinton is an immoral deceptive liar who lied to you and all Americans on national TV, and Lost his Law licience in his home state Ark.. These are Facts not a bias headline!
Whether You believe it or not, if Bill Clinton and Wife Hillary acted correctly in the best intrest of You, your children, and the people of United States, there may never have been a 9/11 and Subaquantely no Irag war!
Ann and the film were not too far off the mark, Hillary know's this and is running for the hills.
JASON CALACANIS the General Manage of the New Netscape is doing a great diservice to all Users by encouaging the constant Bias and onesided Reporting by their Anchors?
Apparently, JASON CALACANIS does not know the meaning of Fair and Balance?

Sept. 16, 2006, 1:35 p.m.SuperSunshine,
I have to disagree with your comment in which you claim that Hitler was popular. He never received a majority vote to be elected to the position of Reichskanzeller. He only attained 40% of the vote of the German people. He had a number of resistance fighters working against him, most notably, the White Rose movement in Munich. GWB is no saint, but he is not Hitler either.
As for Ann Coulter, I read her column and found it loaded with vitriol and bombastic language. Some conservatives would argue she tells the truth. I argue she tells half truths mixed with sensationalism to sell books and get her name out to the public. She is a media ****** trying to make a buck.

It seems to me you know the definition of "fair and balanced" by watching Fox News. Not exactly a prime outlet for news coverage. Their reporters drip with conservatism and their stories reek of slant. I cannot watch Fox News without feeling the demanding need to take a shower immediately afterward. I come away from reading Ann Coulter's column feeling the same way.

She does well because a minority are CONS....& that adds up to several million. There are 300 million in this country, and if 20 percent are CONS, you do the math.
By the way, a CON isn't a conservative.

Really, more Dems turned out to vote in 2004, but we could never prove it because of all the votes that were not counted in Ohio. We will never know the reality about Florida 2000 thanks to the Supremes who reigned in Washington.
We must make sure that Ann and her ilk are thwarted in November. Vote for the Dems in your district in 06.

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:25 p.m.The democrats and leberial subscribers to this forum all awfully upset over the content of a movie that was at no time ever promoted or presented as factual. But then by all appearances it seem to be the actual facts presented in the movie, and Ann Coulter's article is what has them so upset. Even if you ignore all the details it comes down to one thing. Bill Clinton ignored an unprovoked assault on the American people multiple times. He failed as the president of the United States to execute his responsiblilties to defend our freedom and sovereignty when threatened by an enemy, and he did recognize the enemy. Ann Coulter is correct, and if she is off by a few details, which I don't for one moment believe she is, she is still right.
Thank God almighty there was no third term for Bill Clinton. Right now all we would see is a stern demand from the United States Dept. of Justice for Osama Bin Ladin to make a public apology for the attacks of 911. After a night in the Lincoln bedroom.

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:29 p.m.Ebug... I suggust you read my Post very slowly, and if you cannot grasp the positive aspects, have someone explain it to you. It is a very factual Comment, and if you don't agree that's fine but, attacking the writer is in very poor taste.
Also, I don't appriciate your comments about your Grandmother, She Just might be have a little more common sense and logic than you have? You should have more respect for her, but then that's you?
David... as far as FAIR and BALANCE is concerned, if you do Not know the definition or have an understanding of the concept you will NEVER really Grasp All sides af any issue?
You can take any position you like on any issue and we, the Users respect that. But to attack fellow users Hit, Run, and Hide is not acceptable. This shows you are lacking in your communitive skills and insulting to users who are posting in a positive and constructive manner.
You can do it!!! Just think before you insult.
Respectively,

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:46 p.m.Coulter does not bother introducing fact to support her derogatory statements, so someone needs to clearify for her readers when she's lying or making sh*t up. It's the balance.

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:48 p.m.There is something wrong when the news, something that we should all be able to trust by default, spends millions of dollars trying to shove the notion of being fair and balanced down our throats. It seems as if their proclamation is an admission of their guilt. I don't trust any news in this day and age, let alone those who believe they deserve a pat on the back for being truthful and unbiased(or at least saying they do). There is NO such thing as unbiased and there is no such thing as a division of politics and corporation.

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:50 p.m.Coulter is a nut job. She is pandering to the lowest common denominator to get publicity, fame and money.
All of this 9/11 is too much. No one could have stopped it except for the Bin Ladin family. (Very close friends to the Bushs) Who cares if Clinton had the opportunity to stop him years ago. Reagan and Bush gave him the training and the arms and the money to do whatever he wanted long before Clinton was in office.

Sept. 16, 2006, 2:54 p.m.hamy, Some people just wish to disregard fact and find a scapegoat for all their problems. The Bush admin tried a bunch of people and groups to blame, now they've found a soft spot and would like to beat it until criticism has stopped. By debating whether or not Clinton did this or that, they've taken attention away from people who are connecting them to some pretty nasty sh*t.
