Coulter, Harry Take Each Other On

Have Words On The Early Show About Her Mention Of Him In Her New Book, And Other Matters

(CBS)  Ann Coulter says liberals should look in the mirror.

In her latest book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America," the conservative firebrand stirs up controversy again, contending that liberals in America try to play victim when really, they're the bullies.

While she's at it, she points fingers at what she calls the liberal media.

"(The book is) basically about how victimhood is rewarded and everyone wants to be a victim," Coulter told CBS News. "It's about the rewards and praise you get for being a victim and the way liberals use victimhood and they oppress others."

At one point in "Guilty," Coulter remarks about an interview of Sen. Ted Kennedy by Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith in which Smith asks Kennedy if Barack Obama is at increased risk of being assassinated because he's African American. She dismisses the notion, saying presidential assassinations have been the work of left-wingers or people with no political leanings at all. She said conservatives Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and President George Bush are more likely targets of an assassination than the president-elect.

Coulter and Smith met face-to-face on The Early Show Tuesday, and didn't mince words about that issue or anything else.

Among other things, Coulter contended that liberals are at fault for the skyrocketing rate of out-of-wedlock births in the U.S.

Smith said, in one context, Coulter is a whiner, and accused Coulter of doing the very thing she claims liberals do: playing the victim.

"Harry Smith is the perfect example of the Liberal Media. perhaps more heroes (like the person who took out that memphis reporter) will step forward and take Harry Smith to his permanent resting place."

"Just look at the crazed post above. Lies and hypocracy from anothe hate filled Liberal."

-----------------------------------------------------


Do you even read the drivel you post? In one breath you talk of offing Smith, in the next you''re spewing words like "hateful"!

Do you wonder why no one takes you seriously?

[khanghi-2009]

ubrew - it''''s typical of you liberals to do two things:
a. have no understanding of what terms mean, and
b. make up statistics

THANK YOU! It''s always amusing to read posts from people who are too stupid to figure out how the population at large is manipulated to believe there is an appreciable difference between the so called "left" & "right" in this country.

Each end of the political spectrum makes up approx 15%. That leaves 70% of the nation in the middle of the bell curve, holding liberal views on some issues, conservative views on others. Those of you who feed off the moronic ramblings of the Coulters, Hannitys and Limbaughs without any critical thinking capacities of their own only serve to prove the point that their very existance is to keep us at eachothers throats so the "powers that be" who have no allegience to country, flag or people can continue to screvv us all while we''re busy arguing over wannabe authors like Coulter.

You better hope Darwin never gets your address. The gene pool really needs cleaning!

[khanghi-2009]

I just LOVE Ann Coulter! You know, the same way I just LOVE Adam Sandler movies! (not!) Although the cr^p that spews from both of them is funny in its idiocy.

I once heard her defend her nonsense by quoting how many books she''s sold. BIG DEAL! Howard Stern has millions of listeners, but WHO are they?

Stern and Coulter have that in common. They both appeal to the uneducated lowest common denominator.

ubrew12 said: "Who among the left-wing media tried to investigate and warn the public of the dangers of mortgage derivatives to the solvency of the financial system?"

ritewingman said: "You prove my point - the liberal media has no interest in talking about how the Dems are directly responsible for the the mortgage crisis."

Gad you''re stupid. I was talking about the derivatives crisis, which resulted in a $700 billion bailout to Wall Street, not the mortgage crisis, which by comparison is a slap on the wrist. You might want to educate yourself (beyond Limbaugh) to see what the derivatives crisis is.

Sorry I didn''t respond to you earlier, but some of us have to work for a living.

Ann Coulter is a religious bigot, and a racist. Stopping giving this narcissist air time, she feeds off publicity.

Ann Coulter, Satan''''s lies in action. Demons come in all forms and one is definitely Ann Coulter.

totally agree! i have never seen or heard her before this and i was baffled! she''s a NUT! the anti-christ has come for us all!

[whatfur]

I listened to Harry and Ann and Harry was a complete jackass. What a pompous puke. Ann laughed off his "sophmoric" name-calling and "simplistic" baiting...Why?...probably because she could care less about what the puke thinks and saw it for what it was. Me? I would have wiped the floor with the weasel.

[pharmd_2000]

I think the true VICTIMS are the people who buy Ann Coulter''s books. She plays to conservative outrage in order to sell a ton of books and rake in a bunch of money. She''s laughing all the way to the bank. Don''t get conned by this woman. Spend your money on a newspaper or something that will actually inform you on the issues.

[rebelrepubli]

I''m not red and I''m not blue - I''m an AMERICAN. What are you Ms. Coulter?

[cassiusc1]

I agree with "EditorCBS". Harry should take up arms with the Black Panthers and carry his fight to the centers of corporate greed! Where jobs are created, the bulk of the taxes are collected to pay for our enormous wellfare system, and the american dream thrives! Check the records, Harry is a card carrying communist. Go Harry!! I want my free lunch!!

[cassiusc1]

I would love the opportunity to thank Ms. Coulter for putting Harry in his place. Harry is pompous pretentious and self-obsessed. He feels he is above the the greatest tenet of journalism, to remain unbiased and present the news without opinion. Thank you Ms. Coulter.
Harry, stick to the in depth reports on new men''s fragrances and champagne tasting... "news" your morning show has become famous for...

[cg37102006]

I long for the day when we will stop caring about whether someone is a "liberal" or "conservative". The sooner that days comes, the quicker we can move forward in solving our country''s problems.

When I saw the the headline "Man dies after having *** set on fire", I thought Ann Coulter attacked Harry Smith. Coulter is one sad, sick, psychotic and pathetic individual. It''s amazing she is still loose on the streets.

"You know, TV puts everybody in those boxes, side-by-side. On one side, there''s this certifiable lunatic who says the Holocaust never happened. And next to him is this noted, honored historian who knows all about the Holocaust. And now, there they sit, side-by-side, they look like equals! Everything they say seems to be credible. And so, as it goes on, nothing seems credible anymore!" Eddie Langston (Lewis Black) on the movie "Man of the Year".
This is how I feel about this creature. Give me one good thing this woman has ever done for the betterment of the world? One thing.. She writes books, and is on tv alot...she is shrill and opinionated and vile and just downright ignorant. Okay, even if it''s all the doggone "Liberals" fault...for everything. Sure, okay. Whatever. What do you suggest doing about it?

They''re too busy at See B.S. News bowing down to Mecca 5 times a day.

[briannorwood]

Speaking of the media, what is wrong with cbsnews.com? They seem to be very slow at refreshing this site. New news stories are very slow to appear and old stuff has been hanging around forever.

Budget cuts? Layoffs?

[cbsnews55]

Coulter is such a nasty, bald-face liar, I''''m surprised any legimate news program would give her air time. Her allegations are totally without merit, but I have to give her credit for making a high-paying career out of it. She''''s gone a very long way on very little talent.

Posted by Bluedem at 12:24 PM : Jan 07, 2009

The CBS Morning Show is absolutely desperate...barely bordering on being a legitimate news source. So yeah, this makes sense.

[cbsnews55]

You prove my point - the liberal media has no interest in talking about how the Dems are directly responsible for the the mortgage crisis.
Carter signs the CRA
Clinton expands it in 94'''' FORCING banks to make loans to minorities who can''''t pay them back.
Frank, Dodd, Kennedy, Obama, Schumer and many other Dems protect FRE and FNM and won''''t allow the Republicans to reign them in because FRE/FNM are run by their incompetent Dem cronies.
But these are inconvenient facts and liberals respond them like vampires to holy water.

It''s not often that I agree with a neopubtard, but when you''re right you''re right!

I agree completely!
