Ann Coulter to Japan: "Radiation is good for you"

Ann Coulter

Good news everyone: the nuclear crisis in Japan isn't actually a problem! In fact, it may actually be a good thing, and lower your risk of cancer. At least that's what noted nuclear-physics expert Ann Coulter had to say on Bill O'Reilly last night. "Radiation is good for you," Coulter said. "With the terrible earthquake and resulting tsunami that have devastated Japan, the only good news is that anyone exposed to excess radiation from the nuclear power plants is now probably much less likely to get cancer." Right.

Even O'Reilly wasn't having any of Coulter's "nuclear spills prevent cancer" theory, and asked her, "So by your account, we should all be heading for the nuclear reactor [in Japan]," adding, "You have to be responsible," though it didn't do much to change her stance on the issue.

And thus, it's official: Ann Coulter is now too insane to even be taken seriously by pundits on Fox News, and possibly not too insane to head towards a nuclear disaster area for the health benefits. It all makes Gilbert Gottfried look almost classy by comparison. But only almost.

It is entertaining to see the left become deranged about Ann Coulter. Personally, I think she's a genius. Ever read a column? One of the most talented political commentators of our time.

Go away.

She should tell the victims from Chernobyl the good news.

You cut me to the quick, lezley, with your insightful and witty comment. Clearly, you must be in the running for a Pulitzer or - dare I say it - Nobel Prize?

Ann Coulter for President! She's sold more books and none of them are autobiographies, unlike two of Barry's books.

Isn't it interesting how people like Publius simply want to annoy those who don't agree with them? Ann Coulter seems to spend 90% of her time spouting hatred for the left rather than forwarding any genuine conservative ideas. She is more of an anti-liberal than a conservative. She sells a lot of books by stoking the massive chips that people like our good friend Publius have on their shoulders and constantly talking about liberals. She is part of a hate-machine that (amusingly) has the gall to call the left "hate filled". She makes her millions on the spite and bitterness people like Publius demonstrate. Thankfully, not all conservatives are like this. There are some who hold (and will debate) genuinely held convictions, rather than engaging in the kind of petty tribal sniping that was demonstrated above. While I might disagree with those people, I can respect them for their beliefs. I note that Publius didn't mention radiation, Japan or in fact anything relevant to the story. Just his own joy that stupid inflammatory comments caused "the left" to become upset. Coulter doesn't care much, I think. She is too busy enjoying the millions she makes by stroking the nastiness and bile that Publius exhibits.

Agreed, AWE. Publius is a troll. He immediately posts an obnoxious comment on every article that is remotely political. Honestly, if he thinks Ann Coulter is such a "genius", then why don't they head to the nuclear reactor together? I wouldn't mind them proving the benefits of radiation to the rest of the world.

Mar 28 11 - 1:18pm

I've reconsidered. Publius is a genius and I was wrong to call him names just because I disagree with him.

I'm ashamed.

Mar 28 11 - 1:20pm
AWE

I agree, K. I, too, am ashamed at name calling when debate was more called for. I do note that while I criticized Publius for not mentioning Japan and radiation, the original Hooksexup story didn't either.

I join you in your shame, K.

Good thing we got that mess sorted out. We all should exchange home addresses so we can further our political discussion face to face while blowing each other. YAY!

Wow, I've got such a raging clue right now. Mmmmm, oh yeah, definitely raging.

I'm filled with love, my toady little critters. Just now, as I was reading my own comments on Hooksexup and stroking myself to a massive throbbing five inches, I said to myself, "I should have these guys over to my place, because I have no friends. Then we could talk shit to each other and do soem reacharounds. Damn the left wing!"

If Ann Coulter's talent that has you so entranced is her ability to convince many people that she isn't an ethnocentric, fascist, war-mongering transexual, then yes, I would agree she is remarkably talented. Sorry to all the real trannies (I know you've heard this about ole AC before) but it simply boggles my mind that someone ostensibly born female could be so viciously misogynistic.

Mar 19 11 - 12:04am
Publius

No misogyny at all from AC. Why would you suggest such a thing? Note that I filtered out all the other ad hominem nonsense.

Mar 19 11 - 8:00am

Such a cute attempt to be dismissive, but unfortunately for you and your pathetic attempt at faux-fallacious labeling, I am glad to quote Miss Coulter's own words, published by The National Review on September 13, 2001, which clearly establish her ethnocentric, fascist, war-mongering nature: "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." Furthermore, her misogyny is on display for the world to see in this little gem, published by The Observer on October 2, 2007, as part of interview with George Gurley: "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women." On the issue of establishing proof of her transsexuality, I will concede that the evidence is circumstantial at best. But I wouldn't bat a hypothetical eyelash upon learning she was born "Andrew Coulter."

Mar 19 11 - 8:52am
Publius

You've convinced me, tkm. I'm sure AC was absolutely serious about invading countries, killing leaders and leading a mass conversion. No question about it. I'm equally certain that she was advocating the end of women's suffrage. Yep, no doubt about it.

I do note however that open-minded left-leaning people such as you like to make snide comments regarding transexuality, if that person is conservative. It's always good - and rarely difficult - to be reminded of the left's hypocrisy.

We're onto you, tkm. Insincere, pompous bloviating is entertaining but not at all to be taken seriously.

Mar 19 11 - 10:11am
tkm

How convenient. When AC makes an indefensible statement, she's just not being "serious." Yet when she strokes your hate glands until you expel some of that bilious ejaculate, she's a "genius." It's also worth pointing out that I am unceasingly impressed by the contributions to society and culture that a transsexual such as Wendy Carlos has made, and that you ignored my apology to real transsexuals in making a comparison between them and AC. Why don't you tell us all about a transsexual that you admire, Poob? I couldn't help letting out a laugh at the "we" in your claim that some group of people is "onto" me. You are quite starkly all alone here, and the effort you've put into responding to all of the objections to the words and deeds of Ann Coulter makes me wonder if you're not a bought-and-paid-for sock puppet. The degree to which you are defending her would only be more tragic if you *weren't* being compensated for your time, however fruitless this effort on your part may prove to be.

Do not call Ann Coulter an Transexual. It is an insult to the LGBTQ community.

Mar 28 11 - 1:35pm

I have to apologize for the comment above. I now realize that AC was being satirical in her comments. I am also sorry for name calling. Publius did nothing to deserve me calling him "Poob." Finally, I have absolutely no proof that Publius is being compensated for his time.

To the Hooksexup community, I sincerely apologize.

It wasn't "SATIRE"; it was "IRONY "

Fuck off, Boson, I can fight my own battles. And stop using my computer, or I'm telling Mom.

Actually, Pub, I could care less about A.C., but hearing from folks like you who can look at a Rorschach inkblot like Coulter or Palin or W and actually believe you can see something does spin my head a bit.

Mar 19 11 - 12:05am
Publius

I suspect lots of things make your head spin, Gazbo.

I don't suspect anything can make any part of you spin, Publius. You're too moribund to host such activity.

Gazbo is among those who I classify as Militantly Ignorant.

i.e. -- Someone who is extremely proud of what they don't know, and wishes to remain that way.

Man, she's _desperate_ for attention if this is the kind of stuff she's spewing.

Maybe feeling jealous 'cause of attention shifting away from her to that lady whose name starts with P, and ends in ailin'

Excellent-- I for one will chip in a sizeable sum to finance a flight to Japan so that Ann can go bask in her beloved "health-improving" radiation!

Mar 19 11 - 12:06am
Publius

Offer away! How big a sum? I'd go but then I'm an engineer and understand the technical aspects of what's going on.

Mar 19 11 - 8:52am
Publius

Christy - any response from AC? Would you make me the same offer?

Mar 29 11 - 1:00am
Publius

Like I said earlier, I'm an engineer. I know everything about everything, and anything dealing with anything. I'm pretty cool, but anyways, radiation is super good for your skin. WAIT, let me finish. I'm a fucking engineer, asshole. I know what I'm fucking talking about. What are you? That's what I thought, a fucking ignorant turd. Now listen up average shithead, radiation fights cancer, simple as that. Its a lot more complicated than that but you wouldn't understand all the scientific garble. Of course I do, because I'm a fucking engineering scientist. Controlled radiation exposure in a closed environment is for pussies. Real survivors fight that shit on their own, standing next to reactor four, enjoying the fucking beautiful weather, you know, because they are outside, which also happens to be where they live now. If you got a case of cancer, fuck controlled chemo, go all out with Fukushima, baby.

Brother In Love, I'm right there with you. You an' me, standing hip to hip against the tide of Militant Ignorants, the fate of the world rests upon our bastion of right wing superiority, The world stands behind us, sheltered and protec - hey, hey, where'd everyone go?

This is one of the most foolish thing I have ever hear. Radiation causes mutations. Mutation is distortion in DNA. It just gives harm.

Sorry. I just looked up radiation homeostasis. I'm sorry to say that I wasn't aware of this particular field of study. I promise to not publish comments when I'm ignorant of the underlying phenomena.

You are just another Liberal. Ignorant and proud of it !

Jul 11 11 - 7:41pm

Sorry. I just re-looked up radiation homeostasis, and discovered that it was a hypothesis, much like a lot of the religion that drives the right wing into their psychotic misogynystic fervor. You know, hypothesis. Like LockNess Monster, UFOs, Publius is not a troll, Boson Higgs has a IQ.

NOW LET ME BE VERY CLEAR ON THIS: AFTER A SOMEWHAT STATEMENT AFTER A SEVERE WAITING LIMIT ABOUT A WAR SITUATION. SEND IN THE TROOPS...I HAVE TO GET THIS THING DONE BECAUSE I'M ON VACATION TO POINTS IN SOUTH AMERICA TO SEE SOME KIDS AND MAKE SOME MORE STATEMENTS...LIKE: EARTHQUAKE ,TSUNAMI ,NUCLEAR , IN JAPAN..IT WILL BE OK, THEY ARE RESOURCEFUL PEOPLE.

Isn't it interesting that that un-educated clowns like "AWE" don't bother - or don't know how to- read Ann's column. It it, she quotes "The New York Times!" as the source of her information. Most fifth-graders< like most Hooksexup readers, care able to READ the New York Times, however, it requires the READING COMPREHENSION of a ninth-grader (completely beyond the Intellectual Capacity of Hooksexup readers) to understand the use of IRONY.
Apparently, Hooksexup readers can only recognize IRONY when they see it portrayed (as on Seinfeld) and lack the I.Q. required to see it when they read it.

This is why the Dumbocrats are the 'STOOPID PARTY. They acvtually believe that there are "57 States", and that "Jobs is a three-letter word !" Or that Guam will "capsize."

To quote the great Forrest Gump : "Stupid is as stupid does !"

Woops, sorry guys. My little brother got on the computer while my mom had grounded me and took away my online privileges. He's been impersonating me impersonating all of you while I have been woefully cut off from all of my favorite people. I promise I will put his hand lotion all over the inside of his sock drawer just like he did to me. All I have to do first is finish resolving all of the disputed charges for bestiality porn that I ran up on Mom's Visa. My little dickhead brother had to turn me in for that one, but he's going to be sorry when I tell Mom about the time he made me finger his butthole with hot sauce.
