- Itazura, on 10/12/2007, -47/+189Nice. I hope the Coultergeist rots for as long as the sentence allows, or she gets shanked in prison.
- MobbyG, on 10/12/2007, -25/+153Karma is a bitch and so is Ann Coulter.
- walkingdogs, on 10/12/2007, -28/+142The best thing about this is that if convicted, no matter how much time she spends in prison, she would then be a Felon and couldn't vote any more. 1 neocon down, how many more to go?
- koko775, on 10/12/2007, -24/+120"party of tolerance and diversity's"
We have no obligation to tolerate the agents of hatred and intolerance. She goes on TV to spew her hateful viewpoints and rightfully deserves, at the very least, public humiliation. While I believe in her right to say and think what she wants (to the extent that they aren't lies and don't hurt people, which is questionable in her case), I also have absolutely no problem seeing her put in jail on unrelated charges. - Gregd, on 10/12/2007, -19/+95But will she get sent to a men's prison?
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -14/+71Much as I dislike Coulter, I don't know how obscure this law is, whether it's routinely enforced, or whether she knowingly broke it. However, it IS important, as Republicans complain all the time about voter fraud (and apparently, are also responsible for much of it). If she's guilty, I expect her to be treated as any other guilty person in the same boat.
But the thing Coulter should be really nailed for, IMO, is lying. The first amendment protects opinion, even unpopular opinion, but not lies, and especially not libel and slander. In my view, she's attacked too many people with the intent to smear and poison and I believe she's knowingly lied to do it.
For that, we should hold her accountable. It would set a much better example for the Limbaugh's of the world that opinion is protected but lies are not. - reed311, on 10/12/2007, -17/+67"Thanks for weighing in from the "party of tolerance and diversity's" view point."
Where did he say he was a Democrat in his statement? - mitchellk, on 10/12/2007, -7/+54Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday.
Investigators said about 35,000 questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities.
The four indicted -- Kwaim A. Stenson, Dale D. Franklin, Stephanie L. Davis and Brian Gardner -- were employed by ACORN as registration recruiters.
Organized fraud...by ACORN, just as we saw in Ohio in 2004 and again this year. - DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -9/+54@cliffzdude
"Calling a woman a b----- or a c--- shows "N-C"... No Class..."
That's no woman.. that's a man, baby! - TheDrunkMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -7/+50"But what about her free speech rights? The left is so hypocritical. One party is allowed to call the other side "crooks and criminals" yet cannot tolerate a blathering bimbo making tasteless jokes. Grow the ***** up."
She does have free speech rights and she uses them all the time. The problem is that she spews hateful *****. She can say whatever she wants to- just because we disagree with it does not mean we are censoring her. - DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35@skyshock21
When asked by John Hawkins if she regretted a statement she made implying that she wished Timothy McVeigh had bombed The New York Times instead of the Federal building in Oklahoma City, Coulter replied: "Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.' - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36@skyshock21: Ann Coulter herself has wished death on a lot of people, including, but not limited to, the entire staff of New York Times.
- littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -10/+40How did they figure it out? Did a crowd of voters report a strange "female" with an enormous Adam's Apple?

"But what about her free speech rights? The left is so hypocritical. One party is allowed to call the other side "crooks and criminals" yet cannot tolerate a blathering bimbo making tasteless jokes. Grow the ***** up."
Ann has the right to spout hate-filled polemicist rhetoric, and I have the right to voice my opinion that she is a disgusting subhuman whose tongue spews lies over the road bump of her adam's apple. The right is so hypocritical.
Free speech, by the way, has nothing to do with her breaking the law. - LoungeActx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30No one here said that she didn't have the right to say what she says. People here just don't like the things she says. There is a distinct difference. Honestly, I don't see how anyone could like the things she says, but I'll defend her right to say it.
The last thing we need in America is more voting fraud, so I say, lock her ass up. Set an example. - baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -5/+31Ann Coulter is a joke, she reminds me of an emaciated meth-amphetamine addict...
the silly broad needs to eat some roast beef and taters with gravy and stay off the speed and coke... - MattL920, on 10/12/2007, -10/+36It's called slander and libel, Rabid. And they're both illegal and not protected by the first amendment. There's also the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" test of free speech. So in short, no, you're wrong.
- chiller2002, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30@cliffzdude
Actually, going by the time each post was made, none of the first 5 posts call her a bitch or a *****. At least as far as I can tell. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+34@rabid
No it doesn't. - chsrndll, on 09/26/2008, -10/+33Lock that b*tch up and throw away the key...
- nandes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22As for my usual commenting in U.S. political threads, I am always astounded by the assumed (false) dichotomy that your news media has drilled into you.
If you dislike someone who is a vocal Republican, you must be a bleeding heart liberal democrat.
If you support the views of a vocal Republican, you must be a neo-con fascist.
The 2 party system does a ridiculous amount of damage to your country's state of affairs and general human relations. The amount of dialogue wasted on bashing each other in so unproductive, it's a wonder you people ever get anything acomplished.
I've watched this Anne Coulter tell bold faced lies on a CBC programme, and I've seen the crazy zombie look on her face when she's presented with an opposing point of view.
I'll quote NOFX "she's a ***** *****". - TheDrunkMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21@curunir
Your mother is a fat whore who likes to put on donkey shows for 5 cents a night. You join in the show (getting anally raped by the donkey) just for the pleasure of seeing your mother naked.
Did any of that irritate you? It must be the truth then because you wouldn't care if it wasn't true. - adam84a, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21So that's what's behind that long face.....
sorry, someone was going to say it. - culbeda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Hasn't she been suspected of this for years now? And didn't she also report her age differently on two different federal forms?
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A43120-2002Sep5?language=)
She's a pathological liar and a sociopath. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21That was possibly the most deadpan sarcasm I've ever seen on the internet.
- VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+23I don't know about her talking trash on others or if she intentionally did this or she even knowingly lied about this... If she did any of those she deserves to be punished.. :/
Would like to point out that accidently voting in the wrong precinct is not against the law.
"Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison." - growler1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16I think Coulter is odious, like Limbaugh and Hannity. The moral of the story here is, if you're going to swedge into politics and make your living peddling distortions and manipulations, you'd better be prepared for when the tide turns.

Ann Coulter is neither respected, reliable, nor a journalist. She creates her own facts and spouts opinion based on her distorted view of the world.
Daniel Schorr is a respected, reliable journalist. - mikesherov, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23@theblooms: I dunno... do you consider insinuating that 9/11 wives are happy their husbands are dead as slander? I guess it really isn't, but she's still a sleazeball.... oops, there I go slandering people!

So if I said your mother was a filthy whore, it wouldn't bother you? - SirTwitchALot, on 10/12/2007, -9/+25Or they've given her nine months to answer their charges, she has refused to comply in this amount of time, so they're turning this over to the judicial system which has the power to punish her for her wrongdoing. At least she won't be able to argue that she wasn't given a fair chance to prove her innocence.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19@ DrinkingNyquil
Hahaha! Damn, she really *IS* a *****! Nevermind, I take back any defense of her I tried to muster. I hope she dies. - tsf5000, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15This is one of the greatest things to ever happen.
- tehnico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13"I'd ***** me."
Yep, that sounds like her. - amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13They don't have to fabricate video of her eating babies.
- patience, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Did Ann Coulter play Man Hands on Seinfeld...
I just figured the striking resemblance - jerbaker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13It's hard to take someone seriously who can't even manage to write one sentence without misspelling three words and then mangles a cliche by using the wrong words. It gives the appearance of a person who never completed any education above elementary school, or at least one on the level of Beavis and Butthead at best. By the way, it's "hook, line, and sinker" dude.
- pushmouse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14yah Snoopy. The Republican god is the only true god and he hates fags and Democrats.
*****. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"values".. from Republicans?
It is to laugh. - Sangatious, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16A celebrety in jail? Yeah and hell called, its getting mighty cold...
- amoirae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"She" did play Buffalo Bill in 'Silence of the Lambs'.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I almost googled for "transsexual prison" to find the answer to that, but realized that might get some frighteningly NSFW results.
- wm2010russ, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16No koopa, sorry. Yelling fire in a crowded theater was just an expression that Olivder Wendell Holmes used to desribe the fact that not all speech was protected. His famous phrase helped to develop the Clear and Present Danger interpretation of the Constitution which basically was brought about to jail communists in the US who were trying to hamper the war efforts in WW1 by handing out flyers telling people not to join the army.
nice try though. - EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12The reason no one sues her is because, as has been said, a) it's difficult to prove libel and slander b) she couches most of what she says in the language of opinion (or at least would claim so after the fact), and c) she pretends to be a journalist and would likely use that as a shield, and get some sympathy, even from responsible journalists.
I'd argue that b and c are incompatible on ethical grounds. But the point is that anytime she's said that something "is a fact" or "is true" (like that Canada sent troops to Vietnam) and was later proven wrong, she has an obligation as a so-called journalist to set the record straight.
Even if she didn't intend a slight, she could be liable based on what I perceive as a reckless disregard for the truth. Now, most people won't sue because she has big bucks, it's still hard to prove damages from this, and it only serves to rally her troops. Most people think it's best to let her hang herself without pulling on the rope.
But I wish someone would. It is not acceptable to lie, even for politicians. If we want the political discourse in this country to change, let's start there. We can then argue the merits of the ideology till the sun comes up. - Skinner72, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13I'd love to see this vile bitch thrown in the slammer but it won't ever happen. One thing the article did not mention is that the State Attorney in question is the same guy that prosecuted Rush Limbaugh for his little prescription drug fiasco.
- shadgenki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Wow, finally someone who really deserves to go to jail is gonna get it. The system works!! :) I hope some giant prison dyke shoves their fist up her ass.
- Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Would you people stop labeling everyone who dislikes Ann Coulter as a "leftist" or a "lib?" It's very irritating to us moderate centrists who think the woman must be part viper to produce so much venom. Oh wait, I forgot, if you're not as far to the right as possible, you must be an extreme leftist, because there's no such thing as middle ground.
- baalzebub, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13i am neither a democrat or republican, i think they are both full of sh!t...
thankyouverymuch - treed, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Actually, they called not only because it's cold, but because Martha Stewart promised them some throws to keep warm, and that bitch still hasn't delivered.
- MobbyG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It's all voter fraud. And Democrat or Republican, no matter who it is, should be held accountable. She had 9 months to reply to a simple question to clear up the matter. She didn't.
The only reason I can come up with as to why she didn't reply was that she knew she was wrong! And God forbid a person like her admits she is wrong. The whole of creation would cease to be! If it was an honest mistake, then it would have been over with by now and a non-issue. -
