Ann Coulter Speaking Lovingly of Joseph McCarthy Then Getting Schooled by Al Franken
Mar 27th, 2009 by Will Potter
This clip is about two years old, but it’s too good to keep to myself. At The Connecticut Forum, Ann Coulter says her hero is Joseph McCarthy (I mean, what’s not to love? Blacklists, naming names, ruining lives– a true American icon whose legacy lives on). She then says if she could be anyone in history, she’d be FDR so she could stop passage of the new deal. Al Franken handles her dumbassery perfectly.
God I love Al Franken. If only she’d gotten a pie in the face at the end of this video, it would have been 100% perfect.
LMAO! Brilliant – thank you Will!
This is off topic as well, but I have to share too. It’s Christopher Hitchens commenting on the death of Jerry Falwell and it’s one of my all time favs:

Move the cursor to about one minute into the piece.
Wow.
I didn’t realize this, but I’ve never heard Ann Coulter actually speak before. She has a really terrifying voice.
Al Franken did a good job.
What’s wrong with McCarthy? He was just rooting out terrorists. Terrorists like the people who call me in the middle of the night with death threats for trying to help fish and other game. I’m awesome. Why don’t people like me?
Let’s hope Ann Coulter takes a note from McCarthy and dies of hepatitis.
I am awesome, but I am not the Joe who commented on number 5.
Joe, you poor sad creature, my heart bleeds for you. If you had a brain you might be dangerous, as it is I pity you.
Why don’t people like you? Would you like the list alphabeticaly or sorted by category, it’s a large file. But simply put, you’re a cretin.
Please ignore Joe.
Stephen, as always you don’t know the facts before you speak.
I know more than you think.
[...] easy to see why Bachus would want to emulate the late, great Sen. Joe McCarthy – after all, the guy was an American hero. But Rep. Bachus is no Joe [...]
I’ll bet like millions of other fascist, right-wingers, that Coulter accepts her Social Security checks when she comes of age [if the program can be saved after being repeated looted]. And that she happily places them in an FDIC protected acct.–both benefits of FDR’s NEW DEAL. The hypocrisy of these delusional, psychopathic, brainless twits is both jaw-dropping and an absolute outrage.
Hey, say what you will about Coulter, she’s got the kinda horseface you dream about.
