Coulter: ‘Why are we supposed to weep only when it’s a liberal’ Hispanic or black?

In an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America Wednesday, conservative pundit Ann Coulter reeled off a set of GOP talking points against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and stated that she believes “there should be” a filibuster of the nomination.
Coulter claimed that Sotomayor was guilty of a “racist statement” when she suggested in 2001 that “a wise Latina woman” might make better judgments in “race and sex discrimination cases” than a “white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
“It does a disservice to woman and minorities … by suggesting they do have a different way of deciding cases,” Coulter claimed.
Coulter also pooh-poohed Democrats’ emphasis on Sotomayor’s background of hard work and academic achievement, saying, “I’m not really interested in hearing their enthusiasm for an Hispanic now after blocking Miguel Estrada, who also had an impressive life story.”
“Why aren’t Democrats — why aren’t they choking up over Clarence Thomas or Miguel Estrada?” Coulter asked. “Why are we all supposed to weep only when it’s a liberal Hispanic or a liberal black?”
As one conservative blogger pointed out, Coulter was not the only one posing that question on Wednesday. Pat Buchanan and Joe Scarborough were also complaining about the media having ignored Clarence Thomas’s personal story on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Estrada’s nomination to the Court of Appeals in 2001 was filibustered by Democrats who cited his out-of-the-mainstream views and lack of any prior judicial experience. They also expressed concerns that President Bush was simply trying to promote a highly conservative Hispanic attorney who might eventually be placed on the Supreme Court.

I’ve been wondering if we’re 3/8ths the way to the 16 month troop pullout, or several years.
RAW Story, who in your staff has a love affair with Coulter? Can we please just stop reporting anything this hag has to say. She is not relevant and why RAW continues to provide her a platform to vomit is beyond me. I don’t even care what the article says it’s time to stop abusing your readers with her ugly face and no value commentaries.
I’ve pondered this for quite a while myself, and have posted similar questions. Perhaps you’re right; someone at RW has the hots for that skinny transexual. Either that, or they’re just trying to fill space. In either event, I am sick and tired of seeing her bile repeatedly given space.
Please do not tell us about the mancunt.
From the article: “Estrada’s nomination to the Court of Appeals in 2001 was filibustered by Democrats who cited his out-of-the-mainstream views and lack of any prior judicial experience. ”
Read that? Lack of any prior judicial experience. That’s what Senators are supposed to filibuster. If Obama ever nominates someone to a high court position with no prior judicial experience I would want them to be filibustered no matter which side they were on, or what ethnicity. Ms. Coulter is a liar for leaving out important information and trying to trick people into thinking the 2 situations are comparable. However, she has been shown to be a liar for some time now. Why does Good Morning America give this idiot a platform?
I didn’t hear anyone crying. I didn’t hear anyone asking anyone to cry. What is this hag’s problem with reality? Forget about her. Don’t dignify her spewings with notice as if she were a serious thinker. She’s about as relevant as tepid hotdog water.
A better question is why does GMA has this freak on in the first place?Nothing she says is relevant. She is a hatemonger and deceitful person. I’m glad I didn’t see her on while I have having breakfast as I might have vomited in my mouth.
Ann is really packing on the pounds! Ann you need to something about your weight problem.
what amazes me is that mAnn still gets on tv for her “informed” opinion.
ava braun comes to mind.
ABC’s Good Morning America is giving this seeming raving drunk a platform? Wow! Who’s next ABC? Just select any idiot crack-head at random and save some money.
And were not all of these propagandists just ranting anti-filibuster rhetoric, just last year? “Oh, it destroys the balance of power!”
Liars.
If you’re going to report on Coulter, could you at least do it with stick figure drawings rather than with words?
Thanks for the heads up, rawbird
Didn’t notice until now…but ya, she’s becoming a fatty.
She used to be hot, but now she really is plumping up. Maybe the added weight is a lot of stress…?
Time will tell…
Estrogen has a tendency to make transsexuals bloated.
Uh, oh. Looks like Mann Coulter has stopped taking its estrogen pills - If you look really, really close, you can see the hairs on its chinny, chin, chin starting to sprout a full beard.
Isn’t it common knowledge that when you have a sex change operation, you can’t take a break with your ‘womanly’ pills?
Dear Cunter:
Please choke on your prominent Adam’s Apple.
BTW, shouldn’t you be taking your estrogen pills?
Who is Ann Coulter?
She is simply a white girl that is really pissed that she is not the friggin center of the universe and that some other girl (not white) is getting the attention.
This Hag is so transparent. She spews words that even she has admitted are designed to upset people. Sounds like she needs some serious therapy if causing others pain is her way of coping with the fact that she is a LOSER.
I seem to remember Ann Cunter saying something about Jews “perfecting” themselves by becoming Christians. Talk about the pot calling the kettle transexual.
