Coulter isn't my favorite conservative. I think she's a flame thrower much worse than Michelle Malkin but in this case, she's spot on.

Every informed student of the 1988 campaign knows that the Bush ad didn't show Horton's picture. And yet in Keith's discussion of Bush's allegedly vile, racist use of Willie Horton, he used a phony version of the ad, doctored to include a photo of Horton.

I don't blame Keith personally for this blatant distortion: He gets all his research material from Markos Moulitsas and other left-wing bloggers, so he can't be held responsible for the content of his show. Keith's principle contribution to the program is his nightly display of self-congratulation and pompous douche-baggery. Remember, Keith, like his MSNBC colleague Contessa Brewer, majored in "communications" in college, not a research-related field, such as political science. In his coursework, he learned such skills as: Dramatically Turning to Camera, Hysterical Self-Righteousness, Pausing Portentously and Gravely Demanding Apologies/Resignations From Various Public Figures.

Given this background, it's understandable that Keith will make errors. As viewers witnessed recently, he can't even pronounce the name of prominent American economist and philosopher, Thomas Sowell. (Although he did spend three weeks at a Berlitz course in Arabic honing his pronunciation of "Abu Ghraib" to razor-sharp prissiness.)

The bloggers and Keith bring different skill sets to the game. They provide the tendentious half-truths, phony opinion polls and spurious social science, while Keith provides his booming baritone, gigantic "Guys and Dolls" suits and gift for ridiculous, fustian grandiloquence. Keith is far better equipped than, say, the pint-sized, girly-voiced, Frito Bandito-accented Markos Moulitsas to deliver the party line. But here's the fly in the ointment: Keith has once again been victimized by left-wing blogs into thinking that the 1988 Bush ad showed Willie Horton's picture, when in fact, Horton's race was deliberately scrubbed from the ad.


I'd say that's a pretty aggressive and factual account of MSNBC's resident bovine bloviator who nightly, accuses everyone ELSE of playing with the facts.

Mr. Olbermann, have you no shame?

YAWN!

Mann Coulter - WGAS WGAF

At times, I just love it when the Media Mouths go at each other. I understand that I shouldn't express any glee at this, it only encourages more of the same. But Mister Olbermann's S#itick is getting more and more dated without the great satan in office any longer. Being a cheerleader for an Administration is always so much tougher .............

Hi Maxx, I guess you're in the mood for an epic fail this morning.

Yeah, I guess ALL of these are wrong and Coulter is right.

and pompous douche-baggery. .




Stay classy Ann!

There's yer revolving door ad. We will accept your apology any time now.

Too bad for the scrawny little pile of bones that the whole world now knows that t=she is certifiably guanophrenic. Too many of us clearly remember seeing those ads with Horton's picture, since there was a clear intent on the part of the GOP to make it a race issue to hold onto their white bigot faction during the Reagan recession.



The Coulter critter acts as though she gets her stuff from a little silver spoon held under her nose.



Prominent American philosopher? My toes laugh.

god.... republicans are such LIARS.

posted by a member o the incredible shrinking 20% who aren't smart enough to realise that they aren't taken seriously anymore.

ATTENTION!!!!

Be advised you must talk about the skanky Coulter, because otherwise you
might talk about the white house slapping down Wall Street!!!

Obama's doing something right!We must change the subject.

like some posters here-
Look at me! Look at me!!
I'm cryin' and whinin' but no ones' paying attention to me!!!

you know who I mean.....

Which is the closest any eating utensil ever gets to her anorexic, vile mouth.

Yeah, only a clod would do something like that.

there are othes,but that's one example.

This isn't to say that I agree or Disagree with Maxx here, BUT the Willie Horton ads weren't made by Bush co, they were paid for by the National Security P&C or something like that, and were not endorsed by nor paid for by any candidate, or candidates committee. The Claim is that it was a BUSH ad, that simply isn't true. It's the same as saying that Bush 2 made the Swift Boat ads. Both are equally false. They were made by 527 Groups.

ann stated the ads never showed his face and on and on.she is wrong

The main issue is that Ann is a stinking liar in her article, and Maxx happily posted the easily-debunked lie.

AND if we are being distracted by Coulter drivel...
527's technically, but who are these Swiftboat guys & why didn't Georgie knit his brow at them, hmmmmm?

Bu hey - why would talk about Wall Street getting slapped down, when the story can be the skank?


ATTENTION!!!!

Be advised you must talk about the skanky Coulter, because otherwise you
might talk about the white house slapping down Wall Street!!!

That's the great thing about really dumb lies like this, you can debunk them quickly and move onto more important matters.

How, exactly, does Ann Coulter 'own' Keith Olberman here?

Did she beat him in a debate, did she factually disprove anything he said?

Or did she simply let loose at him with a lot of broad platitudes and personal insults, while making unsubatantiated claims?

By that logic Maxx, parsnips owns this forum.

I’d call her a successful political satirist, like her or not take what she says as pointed humor, read between the lines and move on.

"But mommmmmm, I was only kidding!"

So you're saying it's okay to make up bald faced lies in order to smear someone. Good to know.

Not at all and that's why I said if you're going to listen to her, take it as political satire and READ BETWEEN THE LINES. You late night TV is lace with political humor taken to the extreme and I find it funny, that's entertainment.

yep and she's had best selling books insulting others beliefs and ideologies.her way is the only way
just like any other bible thumpnig idiot,invade muslim countries and turn them into christians is my favorite.
yeah sure ann,we all want to be hypocritical christians like you and the rest of them,with no regard for others feelings

It's classic Ann. She truly makes no attempt to craft even passable lies. She just lets it rip, no matter how retarded, knowing that her knuckle-dragging audience will eat it up.

No, she's a vile, hostile, sociopathic witch. She is not funny. She advocatews for right-wing causes with fervor. She doesn't even try to be nice to anyone who does not bow toward Wall Street in prayer.

Nobody gets her jokes, if she is joking. Thus, she is either a monster or a failure as a human being.

I consider Keith Olbermann to be cut from the exact same cloth but don't have to use names to say, "I don't care for him and therefore don't watch his program". I don't want to go through my day pissed of as a result of hearing him speak, so I don't. It's really quite simple.

Well, that is just your opinion, and a rather ill-founded one at that. An arts and entertainmnet critic you are surely not.

Oh those pesky "facts"... always getting in the way of a good right wing rant.

Coulter must be getting worried of Glenn Beck dipping into her market share of the lunatic right wing fringe. I am surprised it too her this long to weigh in with her own fantastic tale of history revisionism.

So Maxxie, Since it has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt that Coulter lied (Horton's picture unequivocally appeared in the infamous 1988 ads), you owe this board an apology. Not that we would ever expect a Rush drone to admit he is wrong. I know, I know.... this is all a huge liberal conspiracy to make you look bad!

See Maxxie, you think you are so smart, but you GOT OWNED, thanks to one of the lying right wing fools you worship.

Now excuse me while I get overcome with schadenfreude.... LOL!

Aloha.

Ditto

she made an ass of herself to me,she don't own anyone

true
they have no reagrd for facts.if she said it,it's gotta be true
she's a christian ya know,they never twist anything to suit themselves

She got caught lying her ass off, and she spews her garbage in venues where we would expect that a speaker was meant to be taken seriously.

She has no more conscience than the balloon boy's dad.

Her crap is intended to piss people off. That is dangerous, especially when she likes to play with guns and encourages others with even fewer brain cells than she has to play with guns.

Andshe gives racist balls of compost cause not to think of themselves as useless excuses for human beings.

Such a failure as a human being she is.

Such a failure as an arts critic you are for not seeing how worthless the skank is.

There's no possible way Ann is a christian, she's one of satan's top harpies.

if she said it on faux news dammit i believe she's a christian
isn't that a christian value bragging how daddy was a union busting lawyer,desrtoying people's livelihoods?

oh i only hope karma is a real thing when discussing these phony christians

I'm not an art critic and don't profess to be. As for being called a "skank", I imagine by some and liked by others on the other side of the coin.

Personally I don't listen to her, though I have, and don't buy her books. But I wouldn't call her a "skank".

Coulter gets it wrong again as usual. The low information people suck it up without bothering to check her lies.

Has Ann "The Mann" Coulter paid for her boob job yet?

Dear Ms. Coulter-
the cave floor called and would like its batsh!t back.

she doesn't lie
faux news only has on responsible truth telling panel members and guests to join their responsible and accurate cast.

How many liberals here actually remember the ad? Do your homework and I expect apologies by the morning.

Here here sheep.....let me herd you to the grass where the facts are located, not stupid youtube links.
http://archive.salon.com/politics/feature/...rton/index.html

Instead of Olbermann getting pwned, now all the rest of you are included. It's Christmas in October 'round here!

I remember the ad. Coulter lied. While it WAS put up by a "independent" organization, Lee Atwater WAS behind it. He said he would make William Horton "Dukakis's running mate."

The ad that Olbermann showed was NOT doctored, it was the actual ad.

Of course, you NEVER apologize for YOUR lies. You just make it up as you go.

GoU

Another Political Nostradamus


Thread Over

Dammit anyway, now you've gone and done it. Using actual facts and posting actual video just isn't fair. Like shooting ducks out of a barrel.

Maxxie, are you going to drag Coulter through the mud now it has been proven that you have been throwing bombs in the wrong direction at her behest? I'll believe that when I see it.

Union, your memory was already taken to task earlier this week when you were found to have been wrong (gee, what a surprise) saying Limbaugh's "caller abortions" were heard in the midwest when in fact, he was doing that in local radio in Sacramento so excuse me if I give your memory about one-tenth of a second attention.


Here tis lemmings, from the link above:

While then-Sen. Al Gore, who was a conservative Democrat and presidential candidate at the time, slammed Dukakis for his role in the Horton fiasco during the primaries, neither he, nor the original ad, mentioned Horton's race. .


Spin spin libbies!!!!! Spin spin!!!!!

You might want to read the above links. A bit quick on the trigger folks. You're simply embarrassing yourselves, especially Union, who apparently, can't remember the ORIGINAL ad, only the DOCTORED one.

You know what they say 'bout that river..

nite nite kiddies. You've been schooled. Get over it....it's not the first time, won't be the last.

Now how the hell did I pick one of those up out here in Tacoma?




I don't recall Gore buying a tv ad showing Horton's face, so there would be no way of rubbing in the racist angle.

I was 24 years old in 1988 so yes, I do remember the ad.

And you Maxxie, you probably were not old enough to wipe your own butt back then, or you have selective memory because Coulter is certainly lying here. Horton did appear on the Ads.

And yes, we all know about Lee Atwater in his death bed, calling Michael Dukakis in so he could apologize to Dukakis' face. Yes, that terrified was he of going to hell over the Horton ad that he begged Dukakis for forgiveness.

Aloha.
