February 25, 200917 yr If either of two is a shrew it's Behar. I kind of get a kick out of watching Coulter, she's very quick minded and doesn't back down. She sure smacked Joy around, it was kind of fun to watch. :clap: Well she may not back down, but I wouldn't say she's quick-minded. Coulter is just another thing that's wrong with American Politics today. Close-minded, arrogant, and as seen above, usually wrong.
February 25, 200917 yr I love watching her beat the liberals at their own game, so entertaining! :clap: :banana: My favorite Coulter line from the interview was when Behar was talking about Ann's comments a few years back concerning the "Jersey Girls" and Ann wanted to talk about her current book (which is very good btw), so Coulter said "Didn't I offend anyone in this book?" Priceless.
February 25, 200917 yr Well she may not back down, but I wouldn't say she's quick-minded. Coulter is just another thing that's wrong with American Politics today. Close-minded, arrogant, and as seen above, usually wrong. :laugh: Awkward moment...

February 25, 200917 yr FWIW, I thought that Canada was part of the ICSC, which sent troops to Vietnam. I could be wrong though...... From Kerfuffles and Flourishes: Canadian Broadcasting Company’s Bob McKeown was hosting a TV broadcast “The Fifth Estate,” on January 26 which devoted one hour to show Canadians how the American media have been high jacked by conservative bullies. Strident conservative pundit and personality, Ann Coulter, was interviewed during which the following exchange occurred: Coulter: “Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?” McKeown interrupts: “Canada didn’t send troops to Vietnam.” Coulter: “I don’t think that’s right.” Since that interview, (Video from CBC of Ann Coulter and Bob McKeown), Coulter has been unmercilessly attacked for saying that Canada sent troops to Vietnam. She has been called an epithet-throwing fictionalist, liar, loudmouth ignoramus, outrageous nationalist and described as empty-headed and shameful, and this in just one editorial, by Doug Ireland at Driland! By doing a short Google search, I discovered that Ann Coulter was correct. There is nothing like the truth to send the liberals into the out of control spin zone. In 1973 the International Commission of Control and Supervision Vietnam (ICCS) was responsible for securing the armistice that lasted two years from 1973 to 1975, known as Operation Gallant. Canada, a member of the commission, contributed 240 Canadian Forces whose role was to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam, according to the Paris Peace Conference, and to arrange the release and exchange of more than 32,000 prisoners of war. In addition, ten to forty thousand Canadians, voluntarily served in Vietnam or during the Vietnam era with the American military, of whom 111 Canadians, were lost. One Canadian soldier, Toronto born Peter C. Lemon, won the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Canadian government believed that because of its membership in ICCS, that Canada had to remain impartial during the Vietnam Conflict. While Canada as a nation was not involved in the fighting, Canadians themselves formed the largest foreign contingent in the U.S. military during the Vietnam era. Although exact numbers are not obtainable, some estimate that between 30,000 and 40,000 served and that 12,000 Canadians actually were in American uniforms in the war zone. The Canadian Armed Forces won a Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts in Vietnam. When the Canadian Vietnam veterans returned to their homeland, they were even more unwelcome than here in the United States, where at least returning veterans had access to government resources. Today, there is a memorial, “The North Wall”, at Assumption Park, Windsor, Ontario, overlooking the Detroit River. It honors the 103 Canadians who lost their lives in Vietnam and the seven who went missing in action. It is a fine tribute to those Canadians who served and sacrificed all for their belief in freedom.
February 25, 200917 yr I'm starting to think you don't like Ann Coulter. :sssh: :lol: I love watching her beat the liberals at their own game, so entertaining! :clap: :banana: :thumb: I believe she is the leading voice for conservatism. She is not hesitant to take up any oppurtunity against a cast of liberals to express her views. I might add that she nevers results to shouting over her dissenter, which her opponents usually result to. Ann Coulter, if you read BGP, this is my proposal!

February 25, 200917 yr If she is the leading voice of conservatism then that is what is wrong with conservatism in the United States. She's just flat out obnoxious and very annoying. The same can be said about Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and pretty much every other celebrity Liberal in America. I wouldn't quite say she's the leading voice... But she does speak the truth.

But she does speak the truth. I don't think it is fair to compare Colture to Winfrey. Winfrey is far more popular, and Winfrey doesn't talk strictly about politics. So they are very different. And Michelle Obama is the first lady, not a political analyst on TV.

In you link, it is stated that Canada sent 240 soldiers to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam. It then goes on to say the following: The Canadian government believed that because of its membership in ICCS, that Canada had to remain impartial during the Vietnam Conflict. While Canada as a nation was not involved in the fighting, Canadians themselves formed the largest foreign contingent in the U.S. military during the Vietnam era. Although exact numbers are not obtainable, some estimate that between 30,000 and 40,000 served and that 12,000 Canadians actually were in American uniforms in the war zone. The Canadian Armed Forces won a Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts in Vietnam. Seems that while Canada may have sent a few hundred troops to Vietnam, they had no intention of them fighting. 99% of the canadians involved in Vietnam went because they wanted to and fought with the USA. It's splitting hairs, but Coulter referred to Canada sending troops to Vietnam as being comparable to the number of troops she felt Canada should send to Iraq. She goes on to say: “Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?” Does she really think 240 troops would make a difference in Iraq? She may not be technically wrong, but I guarantee she believed that Canada sent more troops to Vietnam than they actaully did. Also, this thread has nothing to do with Obama. Coulter is arrogant and bad for politics. How you can say the same for Obama is beyond me.
February 25, 200917 yr In the video clip, Ann makes the point that Rush has a bigger audience than Oprah. I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said.
