NBC Bans Ann Coulter For Life

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Coulter was bumped for Tony Blair. I can imagine her reaction:

"How dare they drop me for him! Don't they know that I'm the queen of everything!?"

Waita minute you said she was bumped for the Gaza War now you say Tony Blair...

Care to share what other all important segments seemed to not get bumped?

Just for you PD, here is Ann referring to this in her latest col.

PS; I agree she took this situation and ran with it to sell books, what best selling author wouldn't?

I don't agree the whole thing is made up as there is more "documentation" backing up this than half the stuff pinned on Bush.

THIS IS THE DOWNER WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

by Ann Coulter

January 7, 2009

After NBC canceled me "for life" on Monday -- until seven or eight hours later when the ban was splashed across the top of The Drudge Report, forcing a red-faced NBC to withdraw the ban -- an NBC insider told The Drudge Report: "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," explaining that "it's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."

In point of fact, I'm not particularly critical of Obama in my new book. I'm critical of the media for behaving like a protection racket for Obama rather than the constitutionally protected guardians of our liberty that they claim to be. So I think what the NBC insider meant to say is that NBC is not interested in anyone so highly critical of NBC right now. It's such a downer, it's just not the time, and it's not what their audience wants right now, either.

In fact, I think my book is the downer America has been waiting for! So herewith, I present an excerpt from the smash new book out this week, "Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America":

When the Obama family materialized, the media was seized by a mass psychosis that hadn't been witnessed since Beatlemania. OK! magazine raved that the Obamas "are such an all-American family that they almost make the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional." Yes, who can forget the madcap episode when the Bradys' wacky preacher tells them the government created AIDS to kill blacks!

Still gushing, OK! magazine's crack journalists reported: "Mom goes to bake sales, dad balances the checkbook, and the girls love Harry Potter" -- and then the whole family goes to a racist huckster who shouts, "God damn America!"

Months before network anchors were interrogating vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the intricacies of foreign policy, here is how NBC's Brian Williams mercilessly grilled presidential candidate Barack Obama: "What was it like for you last night, the part we couldn't see, the flight to St. Paul with your wife, knowing what was awaiting?"

Twisting the knife he had just plunged into Obama, Williams followed up with what has come to be known as a "gotcha" question: "And you had to be thinking of your mother and your father." Sarah Palin was memorizing the last six kings of Swaziland for her media interviews, but Obama only needed to say something nice about his parents to be considered presidential material.

The media's fawning over Obama knew no bounds, and yet, in the midst of the most incredible media conspiracy to turn this jug-eared clodhopper into some combination of Winston Churchill and a young Elvis, you were being a bore if you mentioned the liberal media. Oh surely we've exploded that old chestnut. ... Look! Look, Obama just lit up another Marlboro! Geez, does smoking make you look cool, or what! Yeah, Obama!.

The claim that there's no such thing as a left wing press is a patent lie said to enrage conservatives. Newspapers read like the press under Kim Jung Il, which, outside of a police state, looks foolish. The prose is straight out of The Daily Worker, full of triumphal rhetoric with implicit exclamation points. Still, their chanted slogans fill your brain, like one of those bad songs you can't stop humming.

There is no other explanation for the embarrassing paeans to Obama's "eloquence." His speeches were a run-on string of embarrassing, sophomoric Hallmark card bromides. It seemed only a matter of time before Obama would slip and tell a crowd what a special Dad it had always been to him.

The major theme of Obama's campaign was the audacity of his running for president. He titled his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, "The Audacity of Hope" –- named after a sermon given by his spiritual mentor Jeremiah Wright, whom we were not allowed to mention without being accused of playing dirty tricks. (Rejected speech titles from sermons by Rev. Wright included "God Damn America!," "The U.S. of K.K.A." and "The Racist United States of America.")

What is so audacious about announcing that you're running for president? Every U.S. Senator has run for president or is currently thinking about running for president. Dennis Kucinich ran for president. Lyndon LaRouche used to run for president constantly.

But the media were giddy over their latest crush. Even when Obama broke a pledge and rejected public financing for his campaign -- an issue more dear to The New York Times than even gay marriage -- the Times led the article on Obama's broken pledge with his excuse. "Citing the specter of attacks from independent groups on the right," the Times article began, "Sen. Barack Obama announced Thursday that he would opt out of the public financing system for the general election."

So he had to break his pledge because he was a victim of the Republican Attack Machine.

When Obama broke his word and voted for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act bill (FISA), the Times' editorial began: We are shocked and dismayed by Sen. Obama's vote on ... oh, who are we kidding? We can't stay mad at this guy! Isn't he just adorable? Couldn't you just eat him up with a spoon? Is he looking at me? Ohmigod, I think he's looking at me!!!! Couldn't you just die?

It has ever been thus.

Yep - I followed the rumours yesterday which said she was bumped to devote more time to the war, then later on I saw the video where it was stated that she was bumped for Tony Blair (presumably because Blair was talking about Gaza). Forgive me for not having all of the facts to hand before I commented

Someone had to be bumped from the show - who honestly knows what the thought processes are that go into editorial decisions (people get bumped for all kinds of reasons - not least because some executive doesn't like the guest), but to say she was "banned" is just ridiculous.

Its just business as usual but because its Coulter - her being dropped has to be some big scandal. The media is a cutthroat business.

My question: So what?

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

They should redo that poster with my picture on it. That's all the Democrats will ever need to win.

You are definately a closet republican!

[MariaBonita 11]

The way she says her opinions is what I find the most annoying. And while I may agree with her on some issues, though I haven't studied all her views, her whole style of communication is a big turn off to me. People from the left who act like her are annoying too.

Exactly!!!!

Nice try.

[Danno 1,228]

Perhaps she has missed her calling:

to be a stand up comedian with her audience being ignorant-racist-xenophobic-middle-amurikka.

People who talk like that make my sick to my stomach.

I see you are a person of principle.

Perhaps you would guide us to the posts you have made about the race baiting, hustler preacher Obama claimed as his spiritual mentor?

Sat in his church for twenty years and had his daughters soaking up that same diet of division.

and what was your response?

The claim that she was "Banned" came from and inside source at NBC, not random speculation.

Drudge ran the story, over the years, how many retractions can you name that the Drudge has had to do?

I don't know of one.

An unnamed, unqualified source.

Even if she were banned - I presume you are aware that private agendas go on in the media all the time, just as movie producers have certain actors on blacklists (i.e. "you won't work in this town again").

Again my question is: So what?

Seeing that looks are so important. Lets do a little comparison shall we. Oh and while were at it why dont some of you beautiful ppl post some pics of yourselves. So we can all see just what beauty really looks like.

DUDE are you serious??

Michelle Malkin????? MICHELLE MALKIN??

You don't think Michelle Malkin is hot? As for Rogue if Ann Coulter is attractive to you then there is no need for me to show a pic (she is WAY below my standards).

[MariaBonita 11]

yes, she never was banned....just bumped due to the Gaza situation.

but the title of the thread says she was. you mean ann coulter haters lie?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Charles -

First of all; I was only repeating what a friend told me. I know, I'd have researched the comment before posting, but I got all excited and stuff and didn't. Probably a mistake on my part. Oh, well.

Second; I don't hate her. I dislike her very much. And the way I feel about her has nothing to do with her views. I am a very open minded person, always willing to listen other people's views, however, if you present those views to me with personal attacks and/or hate, like Ann does, I immediately turn my listening ears off.

hate is good

Everywhere

[Ban Hammer 13,334]

there's not any more space left for the republican women.

Nope, maybe if I was drunk on vacation, but I'm talking about being nearly passed out, I'd consider her for sexy time.

To me she is hideous, at least if she was nice but that girl is a conspiracy theorist and spits venom every time she opens her mouth.
