‘Arizona Daily Star’ Drops Ann Coulter’s ‘Shrill’ Column
Many readers find her shrill, bombastic, and mean-spirited. And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives.
- David Stoeffler
I am shocked- SHOCKED- that a member of the Fourth (or was it the Fifth?) Estate has seen fit to silence the reasoned voice of principled Conservatism. Oh, wait…this was former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener Ann Coulter we’re talking about, right? OK, what gives a rat’s @$$ about the sophomoric, self-absorbed, self-righteous troll? She can go pound sand in a Mexican prison for all I care.
Let’s face reality here, folks. If not for Matt Drudge and the fact that she is a reasonably attractive blonde (And let’s keep in mind here that beauty IS, after all, a HIGHLY subjective quality, shall we?), Coulter would probably be holding down a job that involves the frequent recitation of a very simple mantra: “Would you like fries with that?” Through her frequent, unbridled displays of intolerant, rancid ignorance and bigotry, Coulter has cornered the market on rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth, slash-and-burn, Red Meat Conservative ideological excess.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not completely anti-Conservative. It’s just that I like my Conservatives the same way I prefer my Liberals- with a sense of humor, a dash of reason, and a firm grip on reality. No one could fairly accuse Coulter of possessing ANY of these qualities.
The Arizona Daily Star in Tucson has had enough of conservative commentator Ann Coulter.
In a column announcing a wide range of changes in the paper’s opinion pages Monday, Editor and Publlisher David Stoeffler revealed that the paper was dropping Coulter’s syndicated column….
One recent example of Coulter’s controversial approach was in her Aug. 10 column. She wrote: “(T)he savages have declared war, and it’s far preferable to fight them in the streets of Baghdad than in the streets of New York — where the residents would immediately surrender.”
Yeah, now that’s the sort of reasoned political discourse we need in this day and age, eh? Never mind the fact that her argument is specious and disresepectful at best and completely devoid of anything resembling truth at worst. I suppose if you live in a black and white world completely given over to your fear and ignorance, Coulter’s screeds probably sound pretty good…and 51% of y’all DID vote for that smirking murderer from Crawford, didn’t you?
Of course, before I get all overheated about Coulter being exiled to a cash register at a Hialeah McDonald’s, I should probably keep in mind that this is only one newspaper that’s had a “come to Jesus” moment of clarity and courage. Still, it is one less newspaper that won’t be spreading Coulter’s brand of bile, and that can only be a good thing. Remember, y’all…ignorance, fear, and hatred are not- or at least should not- be American values.
fwiw... TPRS still tops the listings in a Google search for Ann Coulter naked
She's sharpe, witty and caustic. If only she could concentrate on writing instead of speaking. When she opens her mouth the sound is like a stick being rammed in my ear!
