Who Saw Ann Coulter On "The View"?

I think she pulls it out of her skinny a$$...lol! Annie

I didn't see anything in there that I would call an "attack" either, but she kept referring to them attacking her before she came out when she wasn't there to retaliate. There is nothing in that transcript from before she came on stage so we really have no way of knowing exactly what she was referring to.

You're right and I tried to find something that told what was said before she came out. Apparently Barbara had read part of her book before she came out and I guess Coulter didn't like how she did it. Annie

I've never been a fan of The View either no matter who has been on from Star to Rosie to Whoopie and the rest. You can never hear a word anyone's saying because they all talk over each other constantly. As for single mothers, I agree with much of what you said. I'm totally for parents staying involved in their children's lives and even their grandparents; I know my husband and I are sure involved in our grandkids' lives and none of us would have it any other way. I'm sure not going to make any guarantees that neither of them will ever get in any trouble or make mistakes but I can tell you they know the meaning of family and they know they have lots of love and support from a BUNCH of relatives from their parents, three sets of grandparents (counting the step-grandparents who are just like the "real" kind) and a great-grandmother. Until recently they had two other great-grandmothers and a great-grandfather. Add to that several dozen aunts and uncles and cousins...well, you get the picture. Anyway, I strayed from the topic a bit but I wanted to add I don't think the problems stem simply from single mothers but from the poverty and lack of attention that sometimes comes with these kinds of family situations. There are plenty of single PARENTS who do a great job and dedicate their lives to raising their kids the best way they can. Basically what I'm saying is Ann Coulter loves to play with the facts and figures to attack whoever it is she's aiming to attack at any given time. It always starts with "evil" liberals and from there goes to whatever group of liberals she decides to pick on next. In her mind only liberals are poor or have children out of wedlock. Annie

The children in your family are truly blessed!

Here is the YouTube link to the whole Ann Coulter on the show. It is in 4 parts and I have just watched part 2 again which just before Ann Coulter comes on stage (parts 3 and 4) and I still do not see where she thinks she is being attacked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X2ziK0WHfk&feature=related

I don't think she really wanted a chance to defend her point of view, I think she enjoyed making herself out to be the victim. This is how she gets attention and publicity every time she writes a new book. I really can't understand who buys them so she keeps writing them and they keep publishing them! Annie

I think you're right on all counts here. I have no idea why these people who know how she feels about them would ever have her on their networks or their shows. She's made it clear many times she hates the major networks and the cable news networks except for Fox so why doesn't she stick with Fox and let the rest of us watch TV in peace? Annie

"If one were to use Ann's "logic," one could say most men are rapists because most rapists are men." Nice example. Statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics. I usually combat crappy statistics with the "ice cream causes rape" study. "Again, I say that respectable outlets shouldn't give Coulter the time of day" "respectable outlets" is an oxymoron.

I don't watch The View either, that's why I missed this when it originally aired! I'll agree with you to a point about wishing both Ann Coulter and Joy Behar would shut up but I can't imagine wishing anyone would shut up as much as I wish Coulter would...lol! Actually, I've seen Joy already on shows other than the View and found her to be funny. I haven't seen a lot of her so maybe she is a pain more often than not. When you say they were "all wrong" do you mean all the hostesses and Coulter or just all the hostesses with the exception of Elizabeth? Now SHE'S the one I find most annoying on that show, what little I've ever seen of it. Annie

I meant all of them. The transcript I read didn't have much of Elizabeth in it other than an interrupted sentence. All the clips I've ever seen of the View has her being interrupted. It may just be my observation of the few times I've watched clips. I'd still like to see her go postal. Just to shut Behar up for at least a minute or two.

I don't blame you. She sure is a waste of time and a waste of good video tape! Annie

I can't believe that, as a single mother, you weren't greatly offended by her words. I know I'M offended FOR all the single mothers I know. I'm not sure what you mean about the "acceptability" of single motherhood; do you think you and other single mothers should be attacked and vilified? Annie

When I did a search for this topic some of the sites said the audio was hard to understand with all the shrieking going on...lol! I heard a few small blurbs of it on TV and it was hard to hear all that was being said so the transcript was probably the best way to know all the exact words they said but you're right, hearing their tone would probably do it more justice. I agree, Coultergeist is going to find things not as friendly towards her kind for the next few years. Annie

I go by what God says is wrong or right. HE is a greater authority than man. So since God says it is wrong for a woman and a man to have s*x without marriage, all the laws in the world or all the opinions does not make it right, because then you will make God wrong.

I don't know how much you've seen of Ann Coulter but "reasonable discussion" is something you NEVER get with her. I'm not saying the hostesses weren't a bit rude but I have a feeling I'd be rude to her too...lol! I don't think the things you mentioned were at all what she had in mind and I have a feeling you'd really have to do some searching to find any women whose boyfriends wanted to take responsibility and marry them but they preferred struggling to raise a child on their own! I don't think it does the child any good if the parents get married just because of the woman's pregnancy. A child is better off being raised by one loving parent than by two miserable and resentful ones trapped in a bad relationship because they married for the wrong reasons. For the record, if a woman isn't yet married but wants a child or children very badly and fears her "biological clock is ticking" I have no problem with her "deliberately bringing a child into the world" to raise herself if she has the means to give it a good live and lots of love. Annie

I think we all realize that ideally every child would be born to a mother and father but we don't live in a perfect world and unfortunately I don't know that there IS a man for every woman or vice versa. You wrote, "so in your opinion, wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. And anyone who opposes you is of course wrong." Actually my point is it isn't UP to me whether someone else is right or wrong. If a woman chooses to have a child and raise him or her on her own and she does it well and takes good care of her baby who am I to judge her? Annie

I'd like to send Coulter back to the 50's - the 1850's...lol! Annie

Unfortunately, she's been all over the place lately, just like $hit...lol! Annie

I'm not defending what was at times rather rude behavior by the ladies of The View but I think Ann Coulter knew that was what she would get by going on that show and she eats this sh1t up! It gives her a chance to play the victim, to repeatedly say, "Can I finish? Would you please let me defend myself?" because she knows it will attract more attention than if she were politely interviewed by some nice conservative who shares her narrow-minded views. Annie
