Ann Coulter on the cover of her book Slander

Ann Hart Coulter (born December 8, 1961) is a conservative American syndicated columnist, bestselling author, lawyer, and television pundit, who frequently appears on the Fox News Channel. Her speaking and writing style is often aggressive and controversial.[1] Coulter is a vehement critic of social and political liberalism and the Democratic Party.[2]

Coulter has written five books of political commentary, four of which have been on the New York Times bestseller list. [4]

Biography

Ann Coulter was born in Darien, Connecticut, and later raised in New Canaan, Connecticut, in a family she describes as "upper middle class." Coulter's two older brothers are John and James. Her father, John V. Coulter, a lawyer, represented clients in opposition to labor unions before obtaining a government job as a constable. Her mother, Nell M. Coulter, is a member of the New Canaan Republican Town Committee. [citation needed]

As an undergraduate in Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences, Coulter helped launch a conservative newspaper, The Cornell Review. She graduated cum laude from Cornell in 1984, and received her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, where she achieved membership in the Order of the Coif and was an editor of The Michigan Law Review. Coulter often wore a fur coat to class, even in temperate weather. Fellow students interpreted her wearing of fur as a political statement directed at "PETA loving" classmates. [citation needed] Coulter was a member of Delta Gamma, a national women's fraternity, while at Cornell. [5]

At law school, Coulter shared an apartment with human and civil rights advocate Cindy Cohn, who is now the Legal Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. At Michigan, Coulter founded a local chapter of the Federalist Society and was trained at the National Journalism Center.[3] Coulter practiced corporate law for four years before becoming a congressional aide, in 1994, to Republican Senator Spencer Abraham, who served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. [citation needed]

Coulter denies she is a fundamentalist Christian "but only because I'm from Connecticut where the term is not frequently used." (On that subject in a June 2006 interview in Human Events Online she stated: "Although my Christianity is somewhat more explicit in this book [referring to Godless], Christianity fuels everything I write.") She has made statements about the religion of Islam that some consider discriminatory and commonly supports the positions of other Christian conservatives. [citation needed]

In 2000 she considered running for the U. S. Congress from Connecticut on the Libertarian Party ticket to serve as a spoiler in order to throw the seat to the Democratic candidate and see that Republican Congressman Christopher Shays failed of re-election, as a punishment for Shays' voting against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. The Connecticut Libertarian Party leadership, after meeting with Coulter, declined to endorse her. As a result, her self-described "total sham, media-intensive, third-party Jesse Ventura campaign" [6] [7] did not take place. Since that time Coulter has been unfailingly critical of the Libertarian Party in her writing. [citation needed]

In June 2005, Coulter purchased a $1.9 million home on Palm Beach Island in Florida. [citation needed]

Bold textPie In The Face Throwing pie in the face of Ann Coulter while she is speaking at college campuses has become a bit of a tradition, a new pop culture.

Media career

Coulter relishes her reputation as a controversial speaker, telling The Sunday Times of London in 2002, "I am a polemicist. I am perfectly frank about that. I like to stir up the pot. I don't pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do." [citation needed]

She is known for her expressed disdain of the Democratic Party and of liberalism. Coulter often criticizes individuals and once lost a job for doing so, when in 1997 MSNBC fired Coulter after an exchange with Bobby Muller, president of the anti-war group Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, in which she said, "No wonder you guys lost." (MSNBC's NewsChat, October 11, 1997)

Ann Coulter on the FOX News Channel

Coulter is a legal correspondent for the magazine Human Events. Her syndicated column for Universal Press Syndicate is carried by, or linked to by, many conservative websites, including Frontpagemag.com and Townhall.com. Coulter was the subject of a TIME magazine cover story in April 2005 and has made frequent guest appearances on national television, primarily on Fox News Channel and syndicated radio programs. In addition to appearing on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's the fifth estate, she has appeared on other talk shows and news programs, including Hannity and Colmes (Fox News Channel), The O'Reilly Factor (hosted by Bill O'Reilly, Fox News Channel), American Morning, Crossfire (hosted by Tucker Carlson, CNN), The Today Show, Real Time and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Coulter also appeared in FahrenHYPE 9/11, a rebuttal of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

As a contributing editor and syndicated columnist at the National Review Online (NRO) Coulter was asked by editors to make changes to a piece written in 2001 soon after the September 11 attacks in which her friend Barbara Olsen had been killed. On the national television show Politically Incorrect, Coulter accused NRO of censorship and claimed she was paid $5 per article. NRO dropped her column and terminated her.[4] Jonah Goldberg, editor-at-large of NRO, said, "We did not 'fire' Ann for what she wrote. ... We ended the relationship because she behaved with a total lack of professionalism, friendship, and loyalty".[5]

Coulter contracted with USA Today to cover the 2004 Democratic National Convention, but was replaced by Jonah Goldberg after an editing disagreement (Memmot, 2004). She wrote one article that began, "Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston", and referred to some (unspecified) female attendees as "corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons." The newspaper declined to print the article, and Coulter published it instead on her website. [citation needed]

On August 28, 2005, Coulter's syndicated column was dropped by the Tucson newspaper Arizona Daily Star. David Stoeffler, the editor and publisher said, "We've decided that syndicated columnist Ann Coulter has worn out her welcome. Many readers find her shrill, bombastic and mean-spirited. And those are the words used by readers who identified themselves as conservatives."[6]

Controversies

Ann Coulter has made a career of controversial arguments, inviting much criticism. Her style is not universally admired among those who share her political philosophy. Arnold Beichman reviewed her book Treason in the Washington Times, which is known for its conservative editorial stance [8][9], and wrote that he'd "tried to read Miss Coulter's book and failed. Life is too short to read pages and pages of rant."[7] Some find her presentations, both published and spoken, to be biased, offensive, inflammatory and claim them quite often full of misinterpreted facts that put her credibility in question,;[8][9] while others consider it biting satire. [citation needed]

Critics also accuse her of hypocrisy and double standards, and argue that, since she has such strong conservative bias in her comments and writing, she is willing to misrepresent sources and facts to support her case. This criticism mirrors the argument that she herself uses in her criticism of liberal politicians, interest groups, and the news media, particularly The New York Times. Coulter prides herself on the copious footnotes in her books which she claims back up her statements.[10]

Coulter has been the subject of frequent protests, especially when speaking on college campuses. On one occasion, during an appearance at University of Arizona, a pie was thrown at her — which missed.[12] In another instance, Coulter was heckled while speaking at a crowd of 2,600 at the University of Connecticut to the point that she ended her speech early and began to take questions from the audience accompanied by the remark, "I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am." The controversy at the University of Connecticut also concerned $16,000 in speaking fees paid out of student funds to Coulter by a bitterly divided Undergraduate Student Government.[13]

At a February 23, 2006 appearance at Indiana University, Bloomington, in a speech entitled "Liberals Are Wrong About Everything", she told the extremely divided audience, "Liberals hate both God and America," and referred to a man with an effeminate voice who was asking questions as a "gay boy". Audience members supporting and opposing Coulter repeatedly broke out into altercations during the speech and had to be removed by ushers, whom she also mocked.[14]

The Washington Post reported that Coulter had obtained a Washington D.C. driver's license with her birthdate listed as December 8, 1963, two years after the birthdate listed on her Connecticut license.[15]

Voter fraud investigation

Coulter is under investigation by election officials in Florida for filing an inaccurate voter registration form in June 2005. Government documents indicate she provided her real estate agent's address instead of her own home address. On March 29, 2006, the Palm Beach Post reported that elections officials have given Coulter 30 days to explain the inaccuracy.

"In his official incident report released last week, poll worker Jim Whited wrote that Coulter tried to vote in the Feb. 7 town council election at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the right place for a Seabreeze resident. Coulter left in a hurry when, Whited said, he asked her to correct the record. Later she cast her ballot at the St. Edward's precinct, where real Indian Road residents go."[16]

Knowingly voting in the wrong precinct in the state of Florida is a felony. [10]

Coulter on her support for apartheid in South Africa

According to a 2002 report in the UCLA Daily Bruin, Coulter has suggested that she supported apartheid in South Africa. The Bruin printed: "In response to a question on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Miss Coulter said she supported the government of Israel for the same reason she supported apartheid in South Africa, because they were surrounded by "savages". She also was disgusted by Nelson Mandela's somewhat socialist policies as well as the African National Congress.[17]

Coulter on African Americans

According to a The New York Times book review published October 31, 2004, Liesl Schillinger wrote that Coulter's How To Talk To A Liberal "is soiled with a gratuitous smear of American blacks who, by wearing kinte cloth and choosing to call themselves African-Americans, Coulter says, express pride in their slave-trading ancestors back in Africa."[18] Coulter says:

And why does native African kinte cloth get a free pass [from liberals]? It is a historical fact that American slaves were purchased from their slave masters in Africa, where slavery exists in some parts to this day. Indeed, slavery is the only African institution America has ever adopted. But while some Americans express pride in their slave-trading ancestors by calling themselves "African-Americans" and donning African garb, pride in Confederate ancestors is deemed a hate crime. Perhaps, in a bid for the Catholic vote, Democrats could demand that those Masonic symbols be removed from the Great Seal of the United States. And how about the American eagle? The eagle is a bird of prey and hence offensive to rodents, a key Democrat constituency.

Coulter on domestic separatists

Coulter has frequently criticized the government's handling of radical separatists. She described members of the Branch Davidians as "harmless American citizens"[19] after the bulk of the group was immolated in an FBI raid. Likewise, she berates what she calls the "unprovoked government assault" and "murder" at Ruby Ridge.[20]

In an interview with George Gurley, Coulter said, "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." (Coulter, August 26, 2002) Melik Kayan of The Wall Street Journal described the statement and others she has made as "tongue-in-cheek agitprop".[21] When later asked by John Hawkins if she regretted that statement, Coulter replied: "Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.'"[22] However, Eric Alterman of The Nation and MSNBC.com, and many other critics were not amused. While acknowledging that "Coulter jokes about McVeigh blowing up the Times," Alterman still found the comment offensive, calling Coulter a "terrorist apologist" and "ideological comrade" of McVeigh due to their similar statements about the Waco and Ruby Ridge incidents.[23]

Coulter on Arabs and Muslims

Coulter has also drawn criticism for several remarks regarding Arabs and Muslims. [citation needed]

  • In an article written a day after the September 11, 2001 attacks (in which her friend Barbara Olson was killed), she wrote, "Airports scrupulously apply the same laughably ineffective airport harassment to Suzy Chapstick as to Muslim hijackers. It is preposterous to assume every passenger is a potential crazed homicidal maniac. We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now. We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."[24]
  • In describing the ability of reporters to get passes to White House press conferences, Coulter speculated that they must be easy to acquire since the "White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president." Helen Thomas is a White House reporter of Syrian ancestry.[25]
  • Coulter has referred to the Middle East as a "swamp"[26] and advocated racial profiling on airliners.[27][28] Later, in an interview with the British Guardian newspaper, Coulter quipped: "I think airlines ought to start advertising: 'We have the most civil rights lawsuits brought against us by Arabs.'" When asked what Muslims should do for travel, she responded that they "could use flying carpets."[1]
  • On February 10, 2006, the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference applauded her when she referred to Muslim terrorists as "ragheads" and said, "I think our motto should be, post-9-11: raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences." [11] [12]
  • Coulter describes people who practice the religion of Islam as "camel jockey", "jihad monkey", and "tent merchant".[29]
  • She wrote in her column, in response to the Muslim Muhammed cartoon Riots: "The 'offense to Islam' ruse is merely an excuse for Muslims to revert to their default mode: rioting and setting things on fire."[29]

Coulter on women

Coulter has stated that women are "not as bright" as men,[30] "have no capacity to understand how money is earned,"[31] Coulter has also remarked that women "shouldn't be in the military."[32]

On a few occasions Coulter has suggested that the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote should be repealed. In a 14 February, 2000 National Review Online article she wrote, "If this ticket doesn't close the gender gap, it's time to repeal the 19th Amendment."

In a February 2001 Politically Incorrect episode, Coulter argued that banning women from voting would ensure Republican presidents would be elected, and that "[women should] all have to give up their vote." [13]

Coulter on Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens

Speaking at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, on January 26, 2006, Coulter said of United States Supreme Court Justice Stevens: "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' crème brûlée. That's just a joke, for you in the media."[33][34]

Coulter's role in Paula Jones controversy

Coulter debuted as a public figure shortly before becoming an unpaid legal advisor for the attorneys representing Paula Jones in her sexual harassment suit against President Bill Clinton. Coulter wrote a column about the Paula Jones case for the magazine Human Events and then was asked to help write legal briefs for Jones. [citation needed]

Coulter disagreed with the lead lawyer, Joseph Cammaratta, who advised Jones that her case was weak and to settle it. (Daley, 1999) From the onset, Jones had sought an apology from Clinton at least as eagerly as she sought a settlement.[35] However, Coulter said she believed the case was strong, that Jones was telling the truth, that Clinton should be held publicly accountable for his misconduct, and that a settlement would give the impression that Jones was merely interested in extorting money from the President. (Daley, 1999)

David Daley, who wrote the interview piece for the Hartford Courant recounted what followed:

Coulter played one particularly key role in keeping the Jones case alive. In Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff's new book Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story, Coulter is unmasked as the one who leaked word of Clinton's "distinguishing characteristic" — his reportedly bent penis that Jones said she could recognize and describe — to the news media. Her hope was to foster mistrust between the Clinton and Jones camps and forestall a settlement...

I thought if I leaked the distinguishing characteristic it would show bad faith in negotiations. [Clinton lawyer] Bob Bennett would think Jones had leaked it. Cammaratta would know he himself hadn't leaked it and would get mad at Bennett. It might stall negotiations enough for me to get through to [Jones adviser] Susan Carpenter-McMillan to tell her that I thought settling would hurt Paula, that this would ruin her reputation, and that there were other lawyers working for her. Then 36 hours later, she returned my phone call.

I just wanted to help Paula. I really think Paula Jones is a hero. I don't think I could have taken the abuse she came under. She's this poor little country girl and she has the most powerful man she's ever met hitting on her sexually, then denying it and smearing her as president. And she never did anything tacky. It's not like she was going on TV or trying to make a buck out of it.(1999)

According to Geraldo Rivera on CNBC [citation needed] Coulter also told Isikoff, "We were terrified that Jones would settle. It was contrary to our purpose of bringing down the president." [citation needed]

The case went to court after Jones broke with Coulter and her original legal team, and was summarily dismissed. The judge ruled that even if her allegations proved true, Jones did not show that she had suffered any damages, stating "plaintiff has not demonstrated any tangible job detriment or adverse employment action for her refusal to submit to the governor's alleged advances. The president is therefore entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of quid pro quo sexual harassment", and summarily dismissed the case. Clinton settled with Jones for $850,000 in exchange for not appealing the decision. All but $151,000 went to pay her legal expenses. The Jones lawsuit led to the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal and to Clinton's subsequent impeachment. Coulter wrote a book critical of Clinton called High Crimes and Misdemeanors [citation needed].

Coulter on 9/11 Widows

In her book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Coulter criticized four 9/11 widows (known as the "Jersey Girls") who pushed for the 9/11 Commission and were critical of US security policies. Coulter wrote: "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." She also wrote "And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy. . ."[14]

On the June 6, 2006 broadcast of NBC's The Today Show, Coulter had a contentious interview with host Matt Lauer in which she defended her statements in Godless and accused Lauer of "getting testy" with her. [15] Coulter alleged that the 9/11 widows were part of the "Left's doctrine of infallibility" and that they were using their grief "in order to make a political point while preventing anyone from responding."

On June 7, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) called Coulter's charge a "vicious, mean-spirited attack." [16] Coulter later responded to Senator Clinton on Sean Hannity's radio show by making the unsubstantiated remark, "Before criticizing others for being 'mean' to women, perhaps Hillary should talk to her husband who was accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick and was groping Kathleen Willey at the very moment Willey's husband was committing suicide." [17]

On June 8, Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) called Coulter a "hatemonger" on the floor of the House and urged his Republican colleagues to denounce her as well. Later, Tim Roemer, a member of the 9/11 Commission and a former Democratic Congressman, called Coulter's statements "reprehensible and undignified" and urged Americans not to buy her book. [18]

Commentator Andrew Sullivan, responding to the controversy, notes, "[T]he problem with Coulter is that she is a form of camp, is she not? The minute you take her seriously, you lose grip on her reality. She's not a social or political commentator. She's a drag queen impersonating a fascist. I don't even begin to believe she actually believes this stuff. It's post-modern performance-art." [19]

Quotations

The following quotes are examples of Coulter's flamboyant and often inflammatory polemical style. Some view these quotes as hyperbole or satire, while others take them more seriously:

Wikiquote has quotations related to Ann Coulter.
  • "I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo." - Her column December 21, 2005
  • "The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view."[36].
  • "I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly". — MSNBC March 22, 1997
  • "It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 — except Goldwater in '64 — the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted."[1]
  • "Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do. They don't have the energy. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now." — (from Slander, pp. 5–6; published June 2002)
  • "The Times was rushing to assure its readers that 'prominent Islamic scholars and theologians in the West say unequivocally that nothing in Islam countenances the Sept. 11 actions.' (That's if you set aside Muhammad's many specific instructions to kill nonbelievers whenever possible.)" — How to Talk to a Liberal, 2004.
  • "In the history of the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people in America got together and formed a voting bloc." — Jan 12, 2006 [37]
  • "One [cartoon] showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying "Stop, stop — we ran out of virgins!" — which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular — oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims' predilection for violence ... Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back." — February 8, 2006 [38]
  • "Perhaps we could put aside our national, ongoing, post-9/11 Muslim butt-kissing contest and get on with the business at hand: Bombing Syria back to the stone age and then permanently disarming Iran." — February 15, 2006 [29]
  • "I'd build a wall. In fact, I'd hire illegal immigrants to build the wall. And throw out the illegals who are here. [...] It's cheap labor." — April 14, 2006 [39]
