That's really all there is to it. She has discovered that saying ignorant, outrageous things can be profitable.


Another liberal who calls anyone who disagrees with them "ignorant". Ann isn't ignorant. She speaks truth. I believe she is authentic and sincere. That is why people are so upset. They don't want the truth.

I know plenty of people who fixate on politics and they are nowhere near autistic or have Aspergers. Did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason why she focuses on politics so much is simply because it's her passion and maybe loves the attention? She is not big on facts nor logic but very emotional.


I was just using a loose example. The way she isn't afraid to say things . People insinuate that its because she is "hate monger" or wants attention. But actually, many people on the autism spectrum get accused of being bigoted and "racist" (a made up word , btw), etc. Because they don't adhere to neurotypical speech patterns or the institution of political correctness

When Ann Coulter gets emotional, it is from talking to leftists who refuse to listen to facts , and repeat the same tired straw man arguments at her. I know the feeling ! Talking to liberals is like talking to little children. They will say stuff like "Well, 97% of scientists say climate change is real!" And then when you present them with evidence and data that disputes their mantra, they just shout back the same thing "Um, but 97% of scientists say climate change is real ! Then comes the name calling and personal insults. I have seen Ann in debate. She mops the floor with most everyone. Her ability to stay so narrowly focused is why I wonder if she might be an Aspie. Also her facial expressions. (or lack thereof)


Plenty of aspies are afraid to say certain things, especially if they've been bullied and told constantly they are wrong or stupid and you can also see here on this very forum that plenty of aspies consider themselves liberal so both your points stand on weak legs. We are not stereotypes. And you seriously think NTs are all politically correct? :?

And you aren't using personal insults to the people you don't agree with? :roll:
She gets emotional because she is brainwashed by mainstream Christianity, a sick mentality that tamps down on skeptical thinking, encourages herd conformity, confuses jingoism and xenophobia with patriotism, and is pushed by hardcore conservative politicians to keep a voting stock.
And again, you are applying stereotypes. You really think NTs can't narrow their focus and they can't be without facial expressions? Ever heard of a poker face? This is all irrelevant anyway since Coulter tends to have a smug expression in her appearances.


Of course, these are stereotypes. But you know as well as I do. Stereotypes are largely based on truth. This may be anecdotal, but as a man on the autism spectrum, I myself, have been accused of racism, "homophobia", xenophobia, and any other buzz words the leftists like to throw around to dissolve opposition. Like it or not, we have a problem with illegal immigration in this country. We have a problem with hyper sensitive SJW's who are trying to shut down freedom of speech. Calling things "hate speech". We have a threat of Islam and Sharia Law. Multiculturalism is a liberal lie that has failed repeatedly. And then you have your "antifa". As if Donald Trump is some reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. I'm starting to wonder if liberalism can be classified as a mental disorder. Its laughable how you call Christianity a form of brainwashing. The very pillar of civility has been Judeo Christian values- upon which our country was founded. The crusades were done for a reason. Muslims were bad then. And they are bad news now. It is resurging. We need more Ann Coulters in this world to speak truth and common sense

For those who haven't figured it out, Anne Coulter is a political "shock jock". I doubt she stands behind much of what she says, and I believe she only says what she says because she has found a way to make saying such things profitable.

How do I come to this conclusion, you might ask? Her comments often come across as ignorant, however the idea of Anne Coulter as an ignorant idiot conflicts with her pre-celebrity successes. Reading her biography, it's clear that Anne Coulter is an intelligent lady, and the only reason that an intelligent person would make such blatantly ill informed comments is for attention.

On that note, I also suspect that the OP does not believe many of the claims he makes, and may merely be trying to provoke firey conversations.


Are liberal commentators never "shock jocks"? or just the conservatives with whom you don't agree?

Ann Coulter says that the US government should spy on all Arabs. She also says that women who get abortions should be sent to the electric chair. She also says "I'm not a big fan of the first amendment."

You can't argue that you are a good person when you admire Ann Coulter. If you do that, people will treat you like a troll, and you have no right to b***h and moan when people treat you like one.

Here's Your Problem: You keep saying s**t that is extremely wrong and then you expect us to take you seriously.

A younger universe is impossible to imagine. We can see galaxies that are up to 14 billion light years away. And humanity is very young compared to the age of the Earth, which has seen many things in it's countless passing aeons.

Claiming that all we see is only a few thousand years old, actually limits God, because the Christian belief is that he has always been there. Why would he all of a sudden decide to do everything from "nothing" in a few "days" when he had literally all the time in the world.

They still do not support your claims because no category of humanity exists in a vacuum.
From what I have seen from your posts, these accusations you claim to get are not without warrant. You also provoke these debates with the nature of your thread titles. Ever thought about that?

Actually, illegal immigration has decreased in recent years; Trump himself says so. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter ... rcent-ele/

I don't like SJWs but I don't like stupid rednecks either; I am against any sort of extreme. Most Muslims in the US keep a low profile due to stupid and hyper aggressive rednecks who feel entitled to harming someone who "ain't white or Chrishun" due to mainstream Christianity brainwashing. The US has been multicultural since nearly the beginning of it so it's nothing new. I don't support Antifa, they are on their own.

This nation was built on Judeo Christianity? :roll: No, the pilgrims and pioneers wanted to escape from the church of England and have land of their own. Religion was just a smoke screen. The founding fathers also held beliefs that would make most Bible Belt Christians today hate them. I am also not talking about all forms of Christianity but mainstream Christianity which is more about politics than actually trying to be like Christ and it's far from civil. It's caused stagnation of scientific advancements, denial of human rights, unnecessary violence through racism and homophobia, and suppression of academic knowledge. The KKK happen to call themselves Christian by the way. You are forgetting about the Inquisition and the Crusades was still violence in God's name. I am not defending Islam either. I am against organized religion, period. I think the Earth would be a happier and saner place without religion suppressing humanity's full potential.

Ann Coulter is just an attention monger and is not a good role model.

Another fun quote from Coulter:

God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours."

Really? We should selfishly exploit what could be humanity's only home just because a sick social and political ideology (mainstream Christianity) disguised as morality says so? What if this life is all we have and our actions cause the Earth to expire so future generations can't live on it anymore?

Another conservative who calls anyone they disagree with a liberal. I know that creates a very convenient narrative, but it will ultimately give you a distorted view of the world.

Additionally, I did not call Anne Coulter ignorant. In fact, if you look at my previous post, I said she was intelligent. It's her statements which are ignorant, and I believe they are intentionally so.

He honestly mirrors a lot of the things my older brother said in the past to me. He actually called me a "Democrat" for telling him Hinduism is not the same as Islam and the US was set up to allow any faith practiced.
I don't know if my older brother still feels that way; he's been nice to me lately so I will give him that.

For the record, I think secular humanism fits my outlook on things best.

What does she mean by "us"? Does that include me? Is she saying that we all own the earth? If so, why is private land ownership a thing? How come just a few people own the earth?

I love it when conservatives accidentally sound like socialists. This often happens when they troll garden-variety liberals ... and are unaware of the existence of more sophisticated liberals.

Coulter was probably trying to troll the New Agers who believe that the environment has rights of its own. The phrase "rape it", is probably supposed to be a harsh stab at the Gaia Hypothesis.

Ann Coulter doesn't realize what the point of environmentalism is. Environmentalism saves human lives. That's the point. That's always been the point.

Wow! Really? :lol: :lol:

I've read about the history of India. India was fighting back against Islamic jihadists before the US even existed.

For most of Islamic history, Muslims saw Christians and Jews as "fellow people of the book". They were far more brutal towards Hinduism because they saw it as pagan.

It was a horrible thing for her to say and it's also disrespectful to rape victims, as well as disrespectful to the planet we live on.

According to Wikipedia she admits to being mean-spirited and bigoted.

"Shock jocks" are not exclusive to a single political orientation. I'm sure some are liberal or have a liberal bias to their content.

If you wish to have an honest discussion, I would be more than happy to discuss with you. However I do not discuss with individuals who intentionally attempt to utilize logical fallacies or various forms of libel, such as implying or claiming I have made claims or have articulated views that I have not, as you have done above, if you have done so intentionally rather than through a fault of emotion or reading comprehension.

Some years ago someone on WP posted his theory that Heinrich Himmler (head of the SS, and thus Hitler's main henchman) "must have been an aspie". And actually he made a pretty good case for it. WHY anyone would want to prove that Himmler was an aspie is beyond me, but that's what interested that posting person.

So if that guy had a right to associate aspergers with Himmler, I suppose that the OP has a right to suggest that Coulter is an aspie.

Polarizing partisan pop culture provocateurs like her, and Bill Mayer, and Rush, and Micheal Moore, maybe widely disliked, but they aren't as bad as Himmler.

The sociopaths are too good at pretending to be normal humans.

We just seem like what ignorant NT's think they are like. We are not, we are almost the psychological and neurological oppositeof sociopaths.
We don't outwardly emote the same as NT's, sociopaths can pretend pretty well. We CAN empathise when we understand properly, they can only fake it, and again they are very good at it.

And sociopaths don't usually feel anxiety in any meaningful way...i think most of us can attest that we very much do.

I can see how playing at being one of us might help those vile people leech off others, though.

I actually hate sociopaths and psychopaths. The low level ones are vile, violent people, and the high functioning ones are corrupt financiers and politicians who destroy entire economies.

And sorry, but America is being run by one, although he is so incompetent, he may get impeached hopefully. At the least he has strong narcissistic personality traits and only a shallow bad impression of empathy.

I think she is just a vile...also probably more of a narcissist than sociopath, if I was to guess.
