Columnist Ann Coulter Defends White Supremacist Group
Rabid far-right commentator Ann Coulter is known across America for sliming everyone and everything she disagrees with. Al Gore is a “total fag” and another one-time presidential candidate, John Edwards, is the same. Democrats are “gutless traitors” and their convention a “Spawn of Satan” gathering. Muslims are “ragheads” and America should “kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” Jews are people who need to be “perfected.” The New York Times building and its editorial staff should be bombed. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens should have “rat poisoning” mixed into his food. Princess Diana “ostentatiously [had] sex in front of [her] children.” The Rev. Al Sharpton is “a fat, race-baiting black man.” President Bill Clinton was “a very good rapist,” and North Korea should be “nuked.”
But despite denouncing school desegregation as a “spectacular” failure, Coulter has generally avoided bolstering white supremacist hate groups. Until now, that is.
In her latest foaming-mouth tome — Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America, released on Jan. 6 — Coulter spends the better part of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a “thinly veiled white supremacist organization.” Coulter begs to differ. The CCC, Coulter opines, is “a conservative group” that has unfairly been branded as racist “because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group.” “There is no evidence on its Web page that the modern incarnation of the CCC supports segregation,” she says. “Apart from some aggressive reporting on black-on-white crimes — the very crimes that are aggressively hidden by the establishment media — there is little on the CCC website suggesting” that the group is racist. Indeed, its main failing is “containing members who had belonged to a segregationist group thirty years earlier.”
Coulter could hardly be more wrong. And even if she can’t find time to read beyond a page of the CCC’s website, she really ought to know — after all, the organization where she frequently speaks, the Conservative Political Action Committee, has publicly banned the CCC from its annual gathering because it is racist. Also in the late 1990s, Jim Nicholson, then-chairman of the Republican National Committee, asked GOP members to stay away from the CCC because of its “racist and nationalist views.”
How could conservative Republicans be inspired to say such ugly things? Let us count the ways.
The CCC’s columnists have written that black people are “a retrograde species of humanity,” and that non-white immigration is turning the U.S. population into a “slimy brown mass of glop.” Its website has run photographic comparisons of pop singer Michael Jackson and a chimpanzee. It opposes “forced integration” and decries racial intermarriage. It has lambasted black people as “genetically inferior,” complained about “Jewish power brokers,” called gay people “perverted sodomites,” and even named the late Lester Maddox, the baseball bat-wielding, arch-segregationist former governor of Georgia, “Patriot of the Century.”
One day, the CCC ran photos on its home page of accused Beltway snipers John Muhammad and John Malvo, 9/11 conspirator Zacharias Moussaoui and accused shoe-bomber Richard Reed. “Notice a Pattern Here?” asked a caption underneath the four photos. “Is the face of death black after all?” On another occasion, its website featured a photo of Daniel Pearl, the “Jewish Wall Street Journal reporter” who had just been decapitated by Islamic terrorists. In the photo, Pearl was shown with his “mixed-race wife, Marianne.” The headline above the couple’s picture was stunning even for the CCC: “Death by Multiculturalism?” The CCC Arkansas chapter ran an essay waxing nostalgic for the days “when racial separation was the norm.”
But to Ann Coulter, there is “no evidence” on its website that the CCC “supports segregation.” Mostly, she says, the group — which was formed from the debris of the White Citizens Councils that Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall once called “the uptown Klan” — is about “a strong national defense, the right to keep and bear arms, the traditional family, and an ‘America First’ trade policy.” Indeed, she says, The New York Times and other critics of the CCC are simply liberals “who have no principles.”

Wow….
I’ll tell you,
after reading this article, I just realized the tawdry and pathematic vibe Anne Coulter unleashes. Sure, I read about this wacknut a few times in various blogsperes, but never before did I get a better insight into what Anne Coulter was all about until now.
What also sicken me was like the smell of a pungent burning stench from something really rotten, was knowing that my depicable foe–David A. Yeagley, who is adhorrent to all that I represent, also promotes this noxious logical imbecility by Anne Coulter. By promoting her book on his website. To be frank or not, these are some of the worst spokeholes among us. They tarnish the core fabric of what “Conservatism” is all about, by adding a new meaning to it for the 21st century. But atlas, she exemplifies the perfect female image of a Neo-KKKon. The party of extremists and not the party of Reagon, Lincoln nor McCain.
on February 14th, 2009 at 9:06 am
she’s a supernova on her way to becoming her own self inflicted social pariah. they will find her fosillized remains and rebury them for good measure. we dont do her a disservice by even acknowledging her at all.modern dinosaur is all she is.
on February 14th, 2009 at 10:42 am
(Sigh)
Beverly. I don’t know how old you are, but if you are implying that you are “Brown”, then you are an “indian” of Mexican decent.
Native Americans are the Red Race, not “Brown” as assumed by you. I think you have a lot to learn and catching up to do or you’re learning from the wrong folks. Ask any true Native outside your tribe and they will tell you that they are not “Brown”.
on February 14th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Geno, I’ll agree with you that today’s republicans are NOT the party of Lincoln. And to a much smaller degree, they’re not the party of McCain.
However, they ARE the party of Reagan. Never forget the way Reagan utilized the southern strategy!
Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Daemoness :)
on February 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Daemonesslisa,
Perhaps you’re right. If memory serves me correctly, I remember Rachel Maddow on MSNBC saying something like “there’s too much Reaganism” in the Republican Party. I wasn’t sure what she meant until now…..
on February 14th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Ewww. I always knew Ann Coulter was a slimeball, but this really takes the cake.
The only good thing is that she’s so far out there that I think few people actually take her seriously. But I never fail to be amazed at the airtime she gets on mainstream media… I know Lou Dobbs has had her on his show at least once. (Surprised? I didn’t think so.)
Coulter is either a completely blind idiot, or else a closet bigot. Can’t say I’d be surprised either way.
on February 14th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Obviously, she isn’t a “closet bigot” if she is gloating vitriol over the airwaves on anyone she could name.
There was also an incident years ago in which she spat acidic insults to a Vietnam Vet. The dude had a disability resulted in conflicts over there…..he is a “patriotic American”, yet, these hypocritical CONservatards are very critical of these vets.
They say she is a “female version of Micheal Moore, though of an opposite Party.”
on February 14th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Red Raidar,
Oh, But I am brown!, I am 4/4 Comanche.
I was with a group of Beautiful Brown People that lobbied against the mascot at the Capital in OKC last week. I see RED in the white people with high blood pressure. I am neither light complexioned nor am I black, nor white, yellow, beige, but I am Brown.
No need to ask anyone, especially outside my Nation, about who I am. I grew up Comanche, I know my Numunu. Not to argue, you can be called “REDSKIN” if it suits you, but not I!
Besides this is about the White Supremist Annie Get You Gun Coulter…. you sound like yeagley, he would agree with you too, putting the Indian down is his thang!
on February 14th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
The Southern Poverty Law Center deserves unequivocal praise for its clear and repeated denunciations of President Obama, for his 20-year close association with, and strong support of, the racist and anti-Semitic Anti-American hate-monger Rev. Wright of Chicago.
The Southern Poverty Law Center does not play favorites, and does not limit its criticism to figures on the right. Rather, it denounces hate from any and all quarters, left or right, liberal or conservative.
on February 14th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Nothing wrong with Ann Coulter that couldn’t be remedied by a pound or so of Ex Lax.
on February 14th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Another fact I forgot to mention is when yeagley is very angry, he can’t spell…”Mexican decent” or was it “Mexican descent?”
on February 15th, 2009 at 12:37 am
Ann Coulter is nothing more than a hate-monger.
She was accused (and never cleared) of charges of voter fraud in Florida and is under investigation for voter fraud in Conneticutt.
She got away with it in Florida because her FBI ex-boyfriend intervened in a manner that allowed the statute of limitations on it run out (i.e. she was never cleared of the charges, the court just could no longer prosecute).
Somebody needs to charge her for all the hate-speech she spews and send her to prison (she is one of the few I would like to see in gitmo).
on February 15th, 2009 at 12:52 am
This woman is pure poison. In my final year at Loyola University Chicago Coulter was invited to speak and was quickly booed off the stage and was not allowed to finish her speech. When she is in public and not protected in the news studios she is fair game and people shout her down when she is in mixed company.
I provided a link to the events so you can look to see what type of actions work against silencing her hate speech. We all banned together to do this and it worked splendidly to shut her up. If you know of any university or college where she is going to speak in the future look into the our past actions as they are a rubric for what can be done any where she goes be it a public book signing or speech she is easily intimidated.

Hello??? Ann Coulter is a “Drag Queen,” and he/she/it will say or do anything for Publicity!!! She is really a “MAN”!!! DUH!!!
on February 15th, 2009 at 1:46 am
Ann is well spoken….and has more balls than most male politicians. She is entitled to an opinion like anyone else and like it or not it has to be heard!
on February 15th, 2009 at 2:01 am
I agree totally that organizations with racist pasts should be avoided. Like the party that all those segregationists belonged to… and who still have a former Grand Dragon of the Klan representing them in the Senate – the Democrat Party has a waay worse history of racism than the CCC does. So I’ll be looking for your article on that hideous and hateful organization… when do you expect to do that one?
on February 15th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Ann Coulter is a media whore. Literally, a media whore.
She will say anything if it will move her books, get her a seat on a talk show over at Fox News, or it will garner another speaking engagement at some Young Republican’s college symposium.
Even pointing out her obvious lies, omissions, bad researching, plagiarism, and bigotry is good news from her point of view. “There is no such thing as bad press.”
Shameful as it is, there will always be a segment of the population — and in harsh economic times, this segment tends to grow — that will blame its troubles on “someone else.” Ann Coulter feeds into their despair, fear, hatred, and anxiety with her books. “It’s not the multi-national companies that moved your job to the Third World, it’s the Third World worker that stole your job.” is the mantra. “It’s not your hate that causes violence and fear, it’s THEM that you have to be fearful of.”
If it were up to Ms. (and I use that term loosely) Coulter, the Mann Act would still be in full effect, the states would be divided up and cordoned off by skin color and ideology, and scientists and doctors would all have to pass a religion test in order to work.
Ann Coulter is a hack, a bigot, a fear-monger, an opportunist, a fomenter of discontent, a fraud, a huckster, a fringe element of society, and exactly what is wrong with not just America, but the world. She is a pro-traditional-America terrorist. She wants us to do unto them as they would do unto us. She makes our enemy’s case for them.
I am a true believer in free speech. I believe in your right to oppose everything I hold sacred. That is my right and it is your right. Ann Coulter has proved — on several occasions — that she has a pathological inability to separate her opinions and her beliefs from known facts. She should be called out as the fraudulent cretin she is, and unceremoniously removed from the public stage. The sooner that she, and her ilk, are shouted down by the sensible, tolerant majority in this country, the sooner this country can dig itself out of the morass that has become international politics in the aftermath of the Bush years.
on February 15th, 2009 at 5:17 am
My only hope is that the media starts to ignore her. She is a bigot and fuels hate.
on February 15th, 2009 at 6:36 am
What does Ann Coulter and the ACLU have in common? They both defend hate speech. True, the ACLU defends it on the grounds that free speech itself should not be limited in a free society, but I still think it is funny that she has something in common with the ACLU.
on February 15th, 2009 at 8:33 am
@Linnea
I’m fairly certain there’s nothing closeted about that bigot.
She belts her ignorance as loud and proud as bill-o
on February 15th, 2009 at 9:46 am
Why we waste time satisfying this political prostitute’s lust for attention is beyond me. I’d rather discuss the status of the underbritches of some narcissistic starlet: as ridiculous as that is, it’s time better spent.
on February 15th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Good post by “the moderator”. Speaking of “media whores”, it reminds me of–well, let me put it this way. there’s a lot of characteristic similiarities in terms of media hungry spokesholes who seek attention, not to be proficient political figures, instead by choosing to be preposterous demagogues, bilk for hollywood entertainment. I am talking about (Sheriff) joe arpaio. The only difference between the two besides their gender, is that (Sheriff) is an out-of-control lawman. Coulter on the other hand is more like a tin foil hater(a conspiaracy theorist). They both are media addicts. Evidently, both are racists, and both are clearly bigots, and inane to the point that their characters are almost fatuous.
Both of them are members of the fringed right-wing extremist party.
One has to wonder what Coulter would do next? Join the Klan? Don a white robe?
Surely when organizations invite Coulter, I’m sure they do so, strictly for entertainment purposes.
I wonder who takes her seriously besides kids?
on February 15th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Evil Conservative, blow it out your ass!
Maybe when Lincoln was President the Democratic party was racist, but that has NOT been the case since Reagan employed the “Southern Strategy” to get the racist vote.
on February 15th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
To the posters talking about “red and brown”; Americans think they know the world, but their take on some things is so slanted as to be laughable. It is not complicated to figure out. Mexicans are not Hispanic—they were COLONIZED by Spaniards, and they fought a war of independence to throw the bxxtards out. Spaniards were never more than 10% of the population. Today they are no more than 1%. Mexicans are NATIVE and as such they are INDIAN- depending on the tribe, Mexica or Zapoteca or Yaqui Apache or Comanche or something else. Native Americans in the US are no different, and IN FACT speak a variation of the Aztec langage in the Athabaskan areas (Southwest US). From the Inuit to the Mapuches (Alaska to South America,) we are all one people, and we are the majority when compared to the Europeans on this continent. (About half a billion people) All the so-called “illegals” you see running across the European-made borders in the US were here 10,000 years ago. Most of the people of Central and South America, from presidents to movie stars are mostly native Indians, although some dye their hair blond to disguise the fact. Indians are not some half-forgotten peoples, but a thriving population who run the oil refineries and write Nobel prizes for literature. They control a good part of the world economy and world politics. Determined to marginalize them, many Americans of European descent pretend that they don’t exist, calling them other things, such as “hispanic”, but it was the native people who built not only the ancient civilizations and today’s modern cities such as Mexico, Caracas, Bogota, El Salvador and Guatemala as well. To try to separate US Indians from the rest of the continent (Abya Ayala) is simply ignorant.
on February 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I would suggest that people rethink calling Ann Coulter a transexual or transvestite.As a group, they have more than enough problems in society than to have such a hateful person attached to them. I used to do the same until this was pointed out to me.
on February 15th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Coulter is a truly a disgusting, repugnant creature. It seems that whenever it opens its foul, foul mouth it vomits out the worst smelling load of bile. Something is Obviously Radically wrong the it. Probably should be committed. But that’s not the worst of it.
The worst is that the GOP has completely embraced it as speaking for their core values. And that’s all America needs to know about where the GOP’s “values” REALLY lie.
on February 15th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
What I don’t understand is WHY media or others continue to sponsor it’s divisive, hate filled speeches? I mean, why not just find another loony at some mental institution and give him all the media attention you can to spew whatever filth he can think up. What kind of people in the media are promoting coulter anyway? What is there agenda here? The turn this country into a at-each-other’s-throats Mad Max kind of place? Hmmm, maybe it’s to clamp down on free speech by making an example how awful one lunatic’s free speech can be?
on February 15th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
No sir, nothing, N..O..T..H..I..N..G on the CCC web site indicates it is a racist group. Certainly not paragraph 8 of its stated principles:
“(8) Cultural, national, and racial integrity. We support the cultural and national heritage of the United States and the race and civilization of which it is a part, as well as the expression and celebration of the legitimate subcultures and ethnic and regional identities of our people. We oppose all efforts to discredit, “debunk,” denigrate, ridicule, subvert, or express disrespect for that heritage. We believe public monuments and symbols should reflect the real heritage of our people, and not a politically convenient, inaccurate, insulting, or fictitious heritage.”
on February 15th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Actually Mexico fought two wars of independence, once against the Spanish, once against the French.
Although the Mexican schools teach that everyone is native, there are rather a lot of people with european genes, because of the natural instincts of men far from home with few women along, and part because immunity to old world disease and immunity to new world diseases both were valuable. In particular, in Mexico’s ruling class there is a strong admixture of European ancestry.
on February 15th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
North American natives are a diverse group of peoples, with many different languages, many cultures, and different genes, and hence modern science concludes that they came to their current abode during many different waves of immigration. Some, the Objiway, for example, are even anciently descended from Europeans. The Seminoles accepted and mixed with escaped slaves of European and African descent.
Aztecs in the American Southwest? WRONG! Their lands were nowhere close. Nor was there forced exile of natives or mexicans from the southwest after purchase of the land at the end of the Mexican American war, or the Gasden Purchase. Rather, we have been accepting immigrants from Mexico, legal, and illegal, for 160 years, with good results.
on February 15th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Oh for God’s sake–she wasn’t defending the group, she was comparing it to the treatment Obama’s racist church got in what she claimed was a similar situation, although I don’t know if she’s right about that. There’s more than enough to criticize Ann Coulter for; why make crap up?
Of course, if you boo her off the stage, you won’t get a chance to find out what that is. And I while I hope that, based on the claim of being a “free speech” absolutist who wants Ann Coulter censored from public appearances, Moderator is some sort of inept right-wing provocateur, on the off chance you are not, will you please learn what the word “literally” literally means?
on February 15th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I cannot disagree with you Antonio!
on February 15th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Thank God for Ann Coulter!!!!!
on February 15th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
I’m about halfway through her new book and it’s actually very good.
Separately from the book, I don’t know about this CCC, but let’s look at the history of liberalism in the inner cities.
Over forty years have gone by since the Liberals/Democrats started their “programs” and policies in these areas. These people have been enslaved by liberals…how else can you explain it? You can’t blame Bush, you can’t blame Republicans and you can’t blame Conservatism.
These areas have been utterly controlled by liberals/Democrats for over FOUR DECADES and all we can say is there is a lot of hopelessness, despair and death.
As I said, Coulter’s book is pretty good so far.
on February 15th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
I think Ann just tells it like it is. I know, the truth hurts but live with it.
on February 16th, 2009 at 12:48 am
I don’t always agree with Ann Coulter…but she is provocative and makes some good,valid points…Who keeps an eye on the “hate” of the Radical Left in America?The Southern Poverty Law Center has supported abortionism(violent bigotry against unborn children),the reverse racism of Affirmative Action,the anti-Anglo chauvinism of all too many Latino groups,and seeks to repress the rights of the handicapped(like Terri Schiavo)…as well as castigating the “Christian Right” while ignoring the opressiveness of the secular Left…
on February 16th, 2009 at 12:52 am
White people,men,unborn children,taxpayers,naturalized American citizens(as well as native -born),gun-owners,business-owners,people who seek freedom to educate their children in THEIR values(rather than be forced to pay double for the privilege)…these are just SOME of the groups the hate-mongers of the Radical Left(like the Southern Poverty Law Center) want to repress….
on February 16th, 2009 at 2:00 am
Ann Coulter doesn’t pull punches when it comes to telling the truth. Common sense conservatives rally around her courage to say what they already believe.
It is blatantly clear to me that the Democrat party’s intentions are to turn the U.S. into a socialist country. When the government, one step at a time, takes control of every part of our lives, e.g. our healthcare, our schools, our property and how IT chooses to spend (waste) the money WE earned, our freedom is lost.
Why anyone paying attention cannot comprehend this truth just boggles my mind and frustrates all of us who know where this is taking us.
Compare the number of Americans who want to, or have, sought freedom in any other country…to those who have immigrated (many illegally) to our shores.
Sure. Coulter doesn’t mince words. Why is it ignored when liberals spout anything they please?
What jumps to mind is Michelle Obama proclaiming to the nation: “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country.”
Why weren’t the Coulter-bashers all over her for that un-American statement?
Educate yourselves. Learn the facts.
on February 16th, 2009 at 3:26 am
WOW, just realized the DEMS are a thinly veiled racist group now having Sn Byrd in office for nearly 200 years. Scary.
on February 16th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Well apparently, it looks like this article has got the neo-Conservanuts seething and foaming at their mouths. I know the truth hurts when it exposes the true colors, septic logics and retardation of these fringed-nut white extremists.
Personally, I would like to see a debate between Katie Couric and Anne Coulter speaking on matters of truths, towards whatever topic arises. And chances are–given the history of Coulter’s past inane and immature behaviors, she would most likely be the loser(with a capital “L”) in the debate. In fact who knows what she is capable of, to say if she were clearly losing argument in a debate. Maybe she’ll retort to childish name calling, which is something that she is well known for? Perhaps initiate a cat fight?
Realistically, Anne Coulter hasn’t shown the American public the professionalism warranted in such debates. Which is why the respected professionals like Katie Couric will refrain from such uncivil discussions.
Maybe Rosie O’ can take up the challenge?
on February 16th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Coulter…facts? These two words rarely go together in the same sentence. Ann Coulter is a woman(supposedly) who insisted to a Canadian journalist that Canada sent troops to Vietnam. If I recall correctly, she was the one who said that while not all Muslims are terrorists, all terrorists are Muslim- a falsehood so idiotic it defies belief. Coulter and the truth simply don’t go together. And on that note, your Michelle Obama quote is wrong. It should read “….I was REALLY proud of my country.” How is this an un-American statement, as if such a thing could possibly exist. Afterall, if people like you decide what real Americans are like, you probably wouldn’t have lost a popular election by something like 7 million popular votes.
And Democrats are trying to turn America into a socialist nation(if only)? Maybe then you can explain why Clinton gutted welfare, and presided over more deregulation of public airwaves, as well as supported neo-liberal economic policies at home and abroad. Ever hear of something called NAFTA?
Coulter is a pundit, like the rest of the pundits. Yeah she doesn’t mince words but you know what: SHE DOESN’T ACTUALLY KNOW ANYTHING. They don’t know about the Middle East, about Islam, about socialism or capitalism. They are paid to put out opinions and to support certain political viewpoints. Half the time they don’t even write their own books. Some of the most popular right-wing pundits have nothing more than a degree in BROADCASTING.
Now I want each of you conservatives to ask yourself this question next time you hear one of your pundits on the radio or TV. Now I’ll exclude Coulter because she has a background in law(though that still doesn’t qualify her to speak on most of the subjects she deals with), but let us focus on all the rest, since they all pretty much sound alike anyway.
Ask yourself: “Why am I getting my political commentary from a DJ?” Yes that’s right, most of these people have a degree in broadcasting(if even that). Don’t you find it odd that these people always claim to have the correct answers, more correct than diplomats, CIA analysts, military officials, judges, veteran journalists, professors, etc.? Who is more likely to be correct about Iraq- Joe Wilson, or DJ Rush Limbaugh? Hell, your side sent Joe the Plumber to Gaza. What the hell could this idiot possibly find out about Gaza? He doesn’t speak Arabic, he doesn’t speak Hebrew, he has no long time contacts among the Palestinians or Israelis. Yet he goes there and pretends to give this “common sense” opinion.
It’s sheer unadulterated idiocy, and this is why you conservatives crashed and burned.
on February 16th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Read the book…it’s very good. Very few, if any, of the people who are attacking her have read the book.
It’s loaded with documented facts.
Just pick up a copy. It’s very good.
on February 16th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Oh, come on! Ann Coulter took a short look at the CCC website one time and that’s all the evidence she needs to defend it. Don’t you know she would lie, even if the truth were staring her in the face, to support her “causes.”
on February 16th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Ryan the non-Aryan,
Childish name calling plus wishing death upon eveyone who she/he disagrees with or vice versa.
I would love to see her/him sitting between Michelle and Katie, these ladies might even change that foulness….nawwwww it could not happen she/he is too far gone on being white supremist! Some people you just have to wait until they do themselves in!
You hardly see her/him debating anyone, she/he is usually making a speech wearing her/his skimpy black dress, showing more and more of her/his rib cage, that gets old after a while, except for david yeagley, laying in bed with ALL her/his books!
on February 16th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
To Lee R:
I went to cofcc.org and found this among the tenets that you brought up:
“2) We believe the United States is a European country and that Americans are part of the European people. We believe that the United States derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and the European people and that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character. We therefore oppose the massive immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States that threatens to transform our nation into a non-European majority in our lifetime. We believe that illegal immigration must be stopped, if necessary by military force and placing troops on our national borders; that illegal aliens must be returned to their own countries; and that legal immigration must be severely restricted or halted through appropriate changes in our laws and policies. We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called “affirmative action” and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.”
um….sounds pretty durn racist to me!
on February 16th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Liberals can’t understand Ann Coulter’s books, because they don’t come with crayons.
Chairman Ann presents more ideas in a paragraph than Potok does in this entire bile-filled rant.
on February 16th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Ann Coulter is a moron, plain and simple. Name a claim from Ms. Coulter and it can be debunked in a manner of minutes. Literally, minutes.
on February 16th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Racism, once covered up after the Civil Rights struggle, is coming out of the closet, after the use of racially charged code-words like law and order and welfare queen. Coulter is a great example of it.
on February 16th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
It’s amazing how wrong you people have it. She wasn’t defending it!
From:
http://sweetness-light.com/arc.....nd-the-ccc
“As any sentient being can tell, Ms. Coulter was writing about the power and dangers of ‘guilt by association,’ as it is selectively applied by our watchdog media.”
“Ms. Coulter was not defending the CCC, but describing it as no more racist — and quite a bit less racist — than Mr. Obama’s preacher of 30 years.”
“Nothing in the subsequent attacks upon her contradict her characterization of the CCC. They are just the worst kind of (liberal) moral posturing.”
“The Reverend Doctor Jeremiah Wright was far more racist and Mr. Obama’s ties to him were far more immediate and direct. And yet mentioning Mr. Wright’s connections to Mr. Obama was deemed to be out of bounds during the campaign – and ever since.”
“It is cited as yet another despicable instance of the (imaginary) ‘Republican attack machine’ practicing (the underrated) ‘guilt by association.’”

OK, I just have to point something out: Calling hateful speech wrong is not the same thing as endorsing censorship. One would hope that conservatives would turn their backs on Coulter because of her hateful rhetoric (not to mention her blatant lying). If, however, they do not marginalize her as they should, no one is calling for her censorship as another option. We’ll just continue to shake our heads and back slowly away from the delusional lady and her followers. (not to insult people who suffer from delusions)

Some hard facts about Ann Coulter according to Dickipedia;
http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.....nn_Coulter
What some of these of retards who do not possessed the rationale understanding about Coulter’s latest book is that fact that she has, not 1 but 3 long pages dedicated to defending CCC. Anyone with brains and reading comprehensional abilities will tell you this is so.
In my humbled opinion, I think her book is worthy for the flames to be burned like a witch at the stake….
on February 17th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Ann Coulter is an amusing talking head that no one takes very seriously. One thing I notice from these comments is how the KKK is inevitably brought into this discussion. I’d just like to remind you all that there is a senator who was very active in this group, a former wizard or dragon or whatever the hell they call it. That person is Robert Byrd, a DEMOCRAT. So please stop pretending that only Republicans are deserving of your scorn.
on February 17th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
There was a time when vituperative psychopaths like Ann Coulter were never allowed near a microphone or a printing press. That was before Chimpy Bush and his Reign of Error wrecked our Constitution and our great nation.
As proof of this, I submit the following fact. In 2000, before the Chimpy Coup-de-Etat, Coulter was actually kicked off MSNBC for insulting Democratic candidates. And compared to later insults, like her gay-bashing Edwards and Gore, they were quite tame.
But before Chimpy and Rove and their massive propaganda machine permanently destroyed civil discourse in America, that kind of conduct was NOT tolerated in the media.
Now it is. And we are all the worse for it.
on February 17th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Devil’s Advocate is spewing typical far-right racist propaganda by bringing up Senator Robert Byrd.
Yes, he was in the Klan. FIFTY YEARS AGO.
His own words address this issue best…
“I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times… and I don’t mind apologizing over and over again. I can’t erase what happened. ” – Robert C. Byrd
If you want plenty of examples of racism in Congress, you should look to the Republican party. Reagan’s Southern Strategy got the “Dixiecrat” racists to switch to the GOP in 1980. You’ll find all the racists in Congress on the Republican side of the aisle these days.
on February 17th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
It is obvious that the right-wingers in here, despite the obvious failure of their political ideology, are so bound to it that they are incapable of admitting any errors, even errors of fact. They’d rather LIE to defend their ideology.
Hence their cheap shots at those eeeevil librrruls and their lying about what Coulter actually said.
This is dangerous. A psychiatrist would probably call it evidence of a serious mental disorder.
I’d just call it the Republican Party.
on February 17th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Tom3 said: “I’d just call it the Republican Party.”
That’s not a fair assessment. People who belong to the Republican party come from all walks of life and from every point on the “IQ” scale. Some are racist, some are not. Some are deluded, some are not. The same goes for members of the Democratic party. Groups of people are uncannily difficult to nail down in that way. So, instead of focusing on the group that is not represented here, focus on the thing that is: Ann Coulter and anyone who follows her smarmy blather.
on February 17th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
One could say that Ann “tells it like it isn’t”, since her factual errors are so easily spotted.
on February 17th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
I´m pretty sure she keeps opening her ignorant mouth and writing ranting books only because Mattel hasn´t modeled a Redneck Barbie after her.
I mean, she is where she is because of her looks. Maybe we should all stop looking at her…
on February 17th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Hey guys
I just stumbled accross this blog…
If you really want to see a ‘hate-filled’ web site you should visit my site…www.nevilleawards.com. I actually have the audacity…get it? audacity…to call democrats a buch of appeaser socialists, marxists and leftists. I dare to call some Muslims hate filled jihadists. I actually use the dangerous phrase War On Terror in several places. And I don’t support Obama.
Maybe Sen. Patrick Leahy will put me on the witness list of his “Truth Commission.” Lets see, the last time there was a truth commission the Soviet Union was still in existence. I wonder if there is one going on in Red China (is it OK to say Red China or did I offend someone?)
You guys are the most wonderfully perfect, butter wouldn’t melt in your mouths, self-righteous libs I’v ever run into.
I don’t suppose any of you folks have actually read a book by Coulter…or do you get your amazing insights from MoveOn, Kos and Huffington?
on February 18th, 2009 at 1:30 am
Obama’s racist. But come to think of it, he can’t be racist as he’s a “persom of color”. We all know that “people of color” can’t be racist as they have no power.
on February 18th, 2009 at 3:04 am
Logically, those who believe that Ann Coulter is telling the truth are most likely more ignorant than her. And that’s pretty damn ignorant.
on February 18th, 2009 at 4:33 am
“Why weren’t the Coulter-bashers all over her for that un-American statement?”
Maybe because the simple fact that a statement not slathering the country with slobbery praise at every waking moment of every single day, willfully ignoring our many faults and failures, past and present, is not necessarily un-American.
You know what is un-American? Putting ourselves on a pedestal. Resting on our laurels. Wasting time telling other Americans that they’re being un-American just because they don’t happen to agree with us instead of putting away the measuring tape, agreeing that the motion of the ocean is often the largest deciding factor, and getting things done.
This is supposed to be a nation founded on ideas, not habit or dusty traditions. I wish more people on both sides of the aisle would just stop talking just long enough to start thinking and in doing so reflect on that fact,.
on February 18th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I have a couple of good questions since this is indeed hillarious;
1.) Why on Earth do these neo-or paleo-Conservatards think that anyone who bashes Ann Coulter is somehow a “Liberal” or a “Democrat”??? Are they reallly that stupid or what?
I could careless if they’re mocking “Liberals” or “Dems” because I am not one. So I figure their inane and pointless comments is directed at someone else….
2.) Why do these white supremacists and extremists actually think “Communists”, “Socialist” and “Marxists” is somehow supposed to be offensive??? Could it be that they are the all white supremacists and they all think alike, as if we”re supposed to be surprised? Come on, how retarded can these WNs get?
on February 18th, 2009 at 9:14 am
“You know what is un-American?”
Then….
“Wasting time telling other Americans they’re being un-American just because they don’t happen to agree with us,(blah-wah+wah)”
I think you are referring to your little “hero” or your personal “role model”–Ann Coulter?
It certainly appears so.
“Un-Americans” are those who bash war veterans.
“Un-Americans” are those who promote terrorism.
“Un-Americans” are those who defend white supremacy.
“Un-Americans” are those who are racist towards every non-White and Jews on the planet.
“Un-Americans” are those who are anti-Feminism or against Women’s Rights.
In coded terms, obviously your complaint is directed at Ann Coulter. Thanks for sharing that.
on February 18th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Doesn’t the very notion that White European-American Christians are somehow entitled “as of right” to a “privileged” status rank up there with the whole premise of South Africa’s policies of apartheid?
on February 18th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
““Un-Americans” are those who bash war veterans.”
Like Saxby Chambliss and Ann Coulter, both of whom “bashed” Max Clelland?
“Un-Americans” are those who promote terrorism.”
Like Ronald Reagan and Bush the first? Iran/Contra ring a bell? How about Afghanistan/Soviet occupation?
“Un-Americans” are those who defend white supremacy.”
Like Trent Lott? Ronald Reagan? Strom Thurmond? Jesse Helms?
“Un-Americans” are those who are racist towards every non-White and Jews on the planet.”
Wow, that includes almost everyone in the United States. Like it or not, there isn’t one of us who does not harbor some form of bias, consciously or unconsciously. It may not be racism, but it is irrational and just as pernicious as anything separated by skin color or culture. If we are going to call all of these people “Un-American” we are going to have a very, very small country. Not to mention the fact that in attempting to make them somehow less worthy of citizenship we are doing exactly what they wish to do to us. How does that work in our favor, again?
“Un-Americans” are those who are anti-Feminism or against Women’s Rights.”
You don’t have to be pro-feminism to be for equality. We are all welcome to think that women are inferior creatures, even to state it outright. So what if people do think that? So what if they shout it from the rooftops? Would it make it any more true? Of course not.
This “Un-American” crap is the very thing that seeks to destroy our country. When you have to distinguish people as not being worthy of equal citizenship because they disagree with you… man, you’re walking down a lonely, sad road.
on February 18th, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Whitey said, on February 15th, 2009 at 1:46 am, “Ann is well spoken….and has more balls than most male politicians. She is entitled to an opinion like anyone else and like it or not it has to be heard!”
Sorry, Whitey, but no. She is indeed entitled to her opinion. She is also entitled to express it. But no power in the world requires that she be heard. I reserve the right to turn a deaf ear to her opinion. I reserve the right to confront her loudly should she ever appear in front of me expressing those opinions.
People like Coulter only succeed in their bigotry when others listen politely.
on February 19th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I don’t believe the “Ann Coulter” construct is real. I mean no one can really be like “Ann Coulter.” I suspect that an excellent performance artist and actor, created the “Ann Coulter” persona as a caricature of the old, rich, white, male paleo-conservative (Patbuchananesque/Michaelsavageian) stereotype.
Now, stereotypes are themselves exaggerations, but the “Ann Coulter” is a caricature that exaggerates the exaggerated stereotype. She plays the old-rich-white-male-paleocon to the hilt and milks it for all it’s worth. And the dupes that give the “Ann Coulter” thing their money to consume her performance art which she intentionally and strategically crafts into excrable hate-ridden pablum, lap it all up as if though the “Ann Coulter” were a real person.
I’m not buying it for a second. My theory is that the woman (or man?) who created and plays the “Ann Coulter” character on TV is actually either a devout liberal using parody to expose and deconstruct defective paleo-conservative ideological frames, or just a greedy apolitical opportunist, who knows how get the easily-duped and easily-frightened sheeple to open their wallets to his/her sticky long white fingers.
on February 19th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Interesting theory, Don Quixote. My theory about Coulter has always been that she was dropped on her head as a child. Repeatedly.
on February 19th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Liesl, you may very well be correct, but personally, I think Coulter is hungry. Ever notice how friggin skinny she is? Maybe feasting on a plate of pork chops, collard greens and mac & cheese would give her a whole new outlook on life.
on February 19th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I am AMAZED at how misinformed (and, frankly, delusional) many people are who are writing here.
You actually should read the book. It’s very good.
As for this CCC outfit, she never endorsed them. She was just using them as a comparison to Rev Wright – as in they are both racist.
I have to say it is funny to read what is written here. It’s something like watching someone write about how bad basketball is as a sport when they are just going off of what others have said and they have never seen it before. It looks that ridiculous.
on February 19th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Oh, btw, I like basketball!

There are THREE races. (1) Caucasian (2) Negro (3) Mongolian. There are various colors within each of the three races – in other words, ethnic groups within those 3 races. There are many colors within the Caucasian race – anthropologists can tell the differences in the 3 races. Mexicans are generally Caucasian mixed with Mongolian because many of their European ancestors were Caucasians and their “Indian” ancestors were Mongolian. There is no “red” race; the descendants of American Indians and Mexican Indians all came across the Bering Strait from Asia – part of the Mongolian race – which has various “colors” within it. Hardly anyone in the United States is of “pure” blood – most have quite a mixture. Native Caucasians are found in Africa, as well – it’s easy to tell that some Africans are different from the Negro/African tribes with very dark skin and different features. Color isn’t always an indicator of race. It has to do with bone structure.

“Ann Coulter doesn’t pull punches when it comes to telling the truth. Common sense conservatives rally around her courage to say what they already believe.”
(said Jo Marie)
You mean, people with nastiness and aggression in their systems, embrace anyone who’s willing to let fly insults and unload bile, so they don’t have to be seen/heard doing it.
Maybe conservatives should find their own voices rather than letting others speak for them; maybe then they’d be less frustrated and blameful.

on February 20th, 2009 at 4:14 am
This (?)woman is SICK–she is a sociopath. But I was
most offended by her attacks on the theory of evolution in
her book “Godless-the Church of Liberalism”. She made
statements that amounted to outright lies, such as
claiming that no transitional fossils have been found.
The transition from mammal-like reptiles Z(cynodonts)
to mammals is well documented, as is the transition from
theropod dinosaurs to birds. And there is also a ton of
evidence that modern humans and apes diverged from
a more primitive ancestral form 6 or 7 million years ago.
She equated belief in evolution with athiesm. I could have
recomended two books to her; “Finding Darwin’s God” by
Kenneth R. Milller, or “The Language of God” by Francis
Collins, both of whom are evolutionary biologists and
practicing Christians. But I know she wouldn’t read them.
According to her, you are either a (young earth) creationist,
or an athiest–nothing in between.

ANN COULTER IS A LIAR. SHE WAS ON LARRY KING WITH JOY BEHAR LAST NIGHT AND I TUNED IN TO SEE JOY BUT WHEN THE LIAR CAME ON SHE OPENED HER MOUTH AND S**T CAME OUT AS USUAL. I AGREE WITH ONE OF THE ABOVE POSTS ABOUT NOT GIVING MORE TROUBLES TO THE HE/SHES OF OUR WORLD BUT DOESN’T MISS NASTY HAVE AN ADAM’S APPLE? ANYWAY, SHE MAKES ME SICK AND IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS, CERTAINLY NOT ANYTHING CLOSE TO A SOLUTION. SHE IS A MEDIA WHORE.
on February 20th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Alz, I issue a challenge to you. If you have her book, open it to random page and post a few paragraphs of some claim here. It can be about the war on terror, American history, Islam, or whatever. I’m willing to be that it can easily be debunked.
on February 20th, 2009 at 10:26 am
Marisa, I could live with your post, and I am brown not RED and I know my colors!
I viewed annie get your gun coulter last evening also, I thought she/he was rude and crude. Joy is usually outspoken but this cross/dresser even outspoke our Joy!
Talk about Obamas ears! At least he uses thelm! Have you ever looked at annies’ ears? Take a good look next time…..he/she is always flopping her hair behind the ears they will be hard to miss, believe me. Talk about basketball….watching her/his adams apple is like watching a game of basketball.
on February 20th, 2009 at 10:51 am
Daniel Rosenthal–”According to her, you are either(a young earth) creationist, or an athiest-nothing in between.”
She has a mentality of “Us vs. Them”. This divisive logic is quite common in neo & paleo-Conservatism as well as the WN movement. The same kind of concept that George W. Bush introduced when the “War on Terror” has begun after the 9/11 attacks. Remember his infamous quote?–
“You are either with us or you are against us.”
on February 20th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
See, that’s what I don’t get about people like Ann Coulter, that us vs. them attitude. Disagreement is a good thing, so why attempt to stifle it? How else do we learn if not from contrasting ideas and theories and evaluating which one is the correct one?

A post today on ‘Welcome Back To Pottersville’ features the latest Hate Saturated Ravings of Hal Turner who is encouraging his readers to ‘pick up guns and shoot… each of the 246 members of the House of Representatives…”
I’d like to see this information added to this sites ‘Hate Incident List.’
Can anyone explain why the FBI, Secret Service or Homeland Security have not taken any action on Turners posts? I’ve been told that using the internet to threaten democratically elected leaders against the law?
http://welcomebacktopottersville.blogspot.com

If there are only 246 representatives in the house then someone has already been shooting them.

We recently celebrated the birthday of the first and last liberal Republican president, Lincoln. That is not entirely true since in many ways Teddy Roosevelt was liberal in his views towards big business. That is why he bolted from the Republicans and formed the Progressive Party and in many ways set the stage for his cousin to create a new Democratic coalition.
She is a dangerous demagogue helping to pull her party into a far right gutter. Her tactics are pure Goebbles and his boss. Tell not just lies but big lies and tell them often. The bigger the lie the easier they are to believe. We even have members of congress who don’t know how district lines are drawn and exploit the fact that their constituents don’t either.
She knows when she lies but really doesn’t care. The end always justifies the means. She as well as Bush told us so about Iraq and now she accuses liberals of the same.
I fear that fools with guns and agricultural chemicals are listening to her and her kind.
on February 22nd, 2009 at 6:13 am
I am a conservative, although not a Republican and I belong to no political party. My values are conservative because of my religious beliefs, but they may not be shared by my co-religionists. However, that’s not why I am writing.
When you use the term conservative, and as I have read your blog and even been insulted and assaulted by one of your blog editors in the past for my conservative views, I hope the SPLC can avoid the pitfalls of stereotyping Americans who are indeed conservative but who have actively fought for civil rights for years.
Throughout my journalistic career, spanning more than two decades with most of it as an editor or news director, I have led a campaign against anti-Semitism, romanticism of the evil Confederacy, racism, prejudice, stereotypes, sexism, stereotypes and, to the horror of many SPLC bloggers, the rights of the unborn, which I believe is uniquely linked to human rights.
This is my caveat to using the term “conservative””: Please do not resort to stereotypes and generalizations about those of us who are conservative, which is a moniker assigned for lack of better definitions at times, but humans are more complex than simply being “one” or the “other.”
In that spirit, I have to say that Ann Coulter does, indeed, define herself as conservative, but she is not the type of conservative I am, especially since I allowed an Ahmadi Muslim to write a column in a now-defunct newspaper I managed for the past five years up till last May. I was even blasted on a national Christian radio show, along with my friend, the Islamic columnist, although not by name. This type of intolerance is repugnant, and I agree that Ann Coulter fans the flames of anti-Islamic propaganda in this country, along with all the other horrible things you noted above that she has said.
However, I once again plead with you and my fellow SPLC bloggers to not stereotype conservatives.
Ann Coulter does not represent me, nor do I accept her as an ethical journalist.
She is absolutely wrong about the CCC, and thankfully, the SPLC has been informing the public of the nefarious nature of this “conservative” group. I have also blogged about it on my blog, although I accidentally wiped out 58 of my recent blog posts and that was one that had been linked from another SPLC blog.
One thing that bothers me is the SPLC’s nearly blind acceptance of what I consider biased liberal media. Although you may believe that is a stereotype and generalization, there is plenty of proof at Newsbusters and other organizations and New York Times Watch that documents this newspaper’s bias.
I feel the SPLC’s own documentation about this group stands on its own and you don’t need to cite what I consider a biased media source.
The SPLC should be nonpartisan and stay away from using journalistic sources that can diminish the strength of its argument, especially since the SPLC’s own investigations stand on their own, as I stated.
There are many American conservatives, among them Alan Keyes and the new Republican Party chairman, in addition to many, many other African-Americans and Americans of other cultural and racial backgrounds who oppose Ann Coulters vitriol.
Thank you for exposing it because it needs to be exposed.
By the way, I take conservatives to task as much as liberals on my blogs, including Glenn Beck and a number of Los Angeles-based talking heads who consistently berate the “Octuplet Mom.” Here’s a link, if you are interested: http://independentlyinvestigat.....rt-to.html
on February 22nd, 2009 at 6:41 am
I misstated a point I made above. I haven’t led a campaign against the unborn. I misspoke and I’m embarrassed for that. What I meant to say is that I have led a campaign against efforts to kill the unborn, whom I regard as humans at the time of conception and who should be protected by human rights protocols.
on February 22nd, 2009 at 6:44 am
One other point: Does the SPLC have a blog to keep an eye on the radical “left”? If not, why not? Hate is not confined to only one side of the ideological spectrum.
on February 22nd, 2009 at 11:38 am
Using Alan Keyes and Michael Steele as examples of conservative virtue does not give your argument sustenance. Alan Keyes recently claimed that Obama is not actually President, while Michael Steele made a derisive remark about “one-armed midgets.” Neither man is someone that should be held up as a standard for something of integrity. And where’s that liberal media bias in reporting Steele’s little quip? Had you heard about it? I’m guessing not.
on February 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 pm
Lisel,
Thank you for your response.
It is sad that you focused on what you consider negative in my post, rather than applauding me for standing up for civil rights.
And that is why I usually choose not to post on SPLC, especially after an SPLC editor attacked me for not commenting on his story last summer about white supremacists in the military. To me, gang members, including white supremacists, in the military is the concern. I just didn’t comment on his post and he sent me an inflammatory, hate-filled e-mail denouncing me for his “research,” which I have no issue with.
Alan Keyes is entitled to his position. I don’t respect him any less for having it. If Steele made that comment, he should apologize.
There is both conservative and liberal bias in media. I also take conservatives to task on one of my blogs, most recently taking on L.A. local talk show hosts who resorted to stereotypes and prejudices to fan the flames of outrage at the octuplets’ mother.
I also don’t remember agreeing with any concept of conservative virtue, as I don’t even believe that exists. There are virtuous persons of all persuasions.
What it comes down to is this: conservatives, even those who do not belong to political parties like me, are not welcome at SPLC. That is a very unfortunate reality.
on February 22nd, 2009 at 10:22 pm
I meant to say that the SPLC editor denounced me for NOT COMMENTING on his research, which I state again, I agree with.
Tonight, I watched a show on gang members in the military and an another SPLC blog listed a document outlining the military’s concern about the effect of gangs, including white supremacists, in the military.
I was attacked because I am conservative
I get it loud and clear: SPLC bloggers attack any conservative who speaks, even those of us who have put our names out there, been threatened by neo-Confederates and neo-Nazis.
This is a sad statement about SPLC and SPLC’s blogging community. In fact, it’s repulsive.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 am
I have seen Coulter a number of times. She is offensive and like David Duke she is photogenic. She does not superficially appear to be the ignorant creature she is; she does not look like the ignoramus of the far right that she is, in fact. I think that lulls a lot of people into giving her more credence than she actually deserves.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Maybe conservatives are not welcome here because you conservatives tend to engage in the racist behavior that this group fights against.
It is no secret that the right wing in this country is the problem. I call it the “Junkie Rush Limbaugh Wing of the GOP”.
The GOP has appointed a black man to run their party. This should be interesting, because a LOT of rural white Republicans are virulent racists and will not stand for this.
I predict the GOP will split up into splinter parties over this issue and the conservative movement will take a huge hit.
Good.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Pretty people always get more attention; starting from elementary school. There is nothing new there.
One thing that has not been discussed is that whether it’s Coulter on the Right or Wright on the Left; the basis of all encompassing “hateful” approach to a world view is based on FEAR.
Coulter is a Talking Head: nothing more. Fearful that she should pass unnoticed into obscurity. Rev. Wright is a man who has let his fear get the best of his relationship to his God. Would his Messiah have said the things he said to his congregation?
As time goes on I have learned that the best method of dealing with all the hate in this world is to bring a bit of Caring & love with one’s actions toward one’s fellows. It’s not easy to do; at times, very difficult because of the very basis of hate. It seems so much easier to meet hate with the same.
I am beginning to realize that introspection is the hallmark of the “thinking man” & the (non-political) reactionary response is the hallmark of the limited intellect. Knee-jerk responses to perceived agendas show a lack of listening (or reading).
An intelligent person actually listens to what others have to say: not just wait their turn to talk.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Anybody who calls themself a conservative and claims to be a fighter for civil rights has what psychologists would call “cognitive dissonance”. They have two opposite thoughts in their head at the same time, which can cause psychological problems if it continues over time.
It is impossible for a conservative to support civil rights.
Case in point is the gay rights movement, which the conservatives, particularly the Religious Right, are fighting against tooth and nail.
Anybody who calls themself a conservative and claims to support civil rights is a liar.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 12:30 pm
I have not attacked anyone for being “Conservative” or “Liberal”. I have contributed to the SPLC & have been contributing to this blog for a few years.
Personally I don’t see how those politics enter into any discussion on Bigotry. In fact, I would strongly question anyone who views him or herself embracing a Leftist position as equating someone who is viewed as Conservative as a Bigot!
I would challenge anyone to equate Conservatism with Bigotry. They are two different things. That’s why they are two different words!

Robster said, on February 15th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
“I would suggest that people rethink calling Ann Coulter a transexual or transvestite.As a group, they have more than enough problems in society than to have such a hateful person attached to them.”
Sorry, but Mann Coulter is “fair game”. She is an obvious transvestite (lots of people in here have noted her prominent Adam’s Apple), and she supported the Chimpy Reign of Error which bashed gays to get re-elected.
Any GLBT person who goes along with bashing gays in order to win elections has rejected their own gayness and is fair game for ridicule and being outed.
I think this is called the Barney Frank rule.
Maybe the transsexual community needs to speak up about Mann Coulter. She needs to be outed as a self-hating transvestite.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 12:49 pm
“Personally I don’t see how those politics enter into any discussion on Bigotry.”
You must be very naive about the nature of bigotry in America.
Bigotry IS conservative. Those white supremacist groups are all regarded as ultra RIGHT wing.
Conservatives don’t like change. Civil rights is change.
Conservatives ARE the bigots in American society. Anyone who has been victimized by bigotry in this country knows this for a fact.
I think you conservos in here are revisionist. You can’t handle the truth so you try to invent your own “facts”.
Coulter, Limbaugh, and other right wing blowhards are known bigots. The right wing “nativist” movement is also full of them.
I challenge you to find any bigots on the left. I seriously doubt you will find any. And don’t even start with that “reverse racism” garbage, it’s bogus. There is no such thing as bigotry against white people. We are the majority race and have historically been bigoted against everyone else, so there’s no such thing as being racist against whites.

With regard to a comment I made on another post in this thread, I would like to point out that I may have been subject to a hoax e-mail I received that I thought was from the SPLC. It was not from Mark Potok of the SPLC. As I no longer have the e-mail, I cannot have the SPLC verify its authenticity, but I want to again say that it was not Mark Potok.
on February 23rd, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Regardless of race, there isn’t a person on this planet who hasn’t experienced bigotry and to assume that conservatives own that bigotry alone is remarkably, well, bigoted. Pol Pot? Fidel Castro? Lenin? I’m pretty sure most people would call them ultra-leftist, and lookie there! bigots to a man.
I’d also like to know how this majority protection works. We cannot move through life in a hive of white people to somehow “protect” ourselves from outside bigotry; there will be a time when every one of us experiences racism based on nothing more than the perception of our race. So, how, exactly, does this white majority thing work? I’m white, but I’ve experienced racial bigotry; does that mean I am not entirely white? not entirely of the majority?
on February 24th, 2009 at 11:29 am
I happen to agree with Liesl:
“I challenge you to find any bigots on the left”
– LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT WHOOPED, BUDDY!
IF your conceptualization is that Bigotry is a “Left or Right” issue then YOU may know nothing of Bigotry.
Start with an intelligent definition of Bigotry: use something like the Oxford English Dictionary or Websters. Then declare that there cannot be bigotry against one group because they happen to be a majority in a certain country.
Ask yourself WHY the SPLC defines certain groups made up of people of color in the USA as Hate groups: they espouse bigotry against whites.
Fair is fair DON’T START INTO THAT BULLSHIT THAT SOME GROUP CAN DO NO WRONG because they happen to be people of color who are not in “power positions”. We elected an African American President!
Many contributors here ARE people of color & find the defense of stupidity because the origin comes from a minority in the USA to be either intellectually lazy or typical “white guilt” blathering.
Men & women of color (or minority status) don’t need any defense of their fellows from the majority group. We are mature & fair minded enough to call out our own wrong doings without the majority’s defense of our stupidity or wrong doings.

Ann Coulter…nutjob.
on February 26th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Pol Pot was a “bigot”, mainly because in the course to power he abandoned Marxism and founded his new ideology on ancient Cambodian nationalism, which involves hatred of Vietnamese and the Thai. Other than that, calling Castro or Lenin bigots is simply idiocy.
on February 28th, 2009 at 12:54 am
Pol Pot abandoned Marxism? Huh? He killed his own people, by and large, and never abandoned the warped ideology he believed was related to communism. What an odd claim.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that the thousands of people tortured and killed on direct order from Lenin would find his portrayal as a bigot to be less than idiotic. As would the people killed in Castro’s labor camps and prisons for no other reason than their political affiliation or sexual preference. The idiocy in that idea is certainly not in holding the left to the same standard that you hold the right for bigotry. Doing anything less is just gross.
on February 28th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Illegal immigration is one of the biggest problems we have today. The illegals are moving silently, secretly. They could be doing many of these crimes to stir up the pot and make it appear that others (implying whites) are committing hate crimes. Anonymous crimes are just that. Anonymous crimes. I know for a fact that a black woman in Portland, OR spraypainted her own house. She admitted it.
You are using the internet to spread the word about your group, and young trash-talking Hispanics and blacks are putting down whites and “Europeans” on YouTube and any place handy.
I’ll believe you are really interested in defending human rights when you start condemning some of these people for their remarks.
Until then, you are just another racist organization, defending racists. You are anti-Caucasians – admit it.
The problem for your organization is that it has lost the respect it once had.
on February 28th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
I don’t buy the claims of White “reverse racism” of for a second. Racism has two critical components: First, it is based on the belief that the racial group (however this is constructed) one pertains to, is intrisically superior to others, or, stated another way, the belief that other groups are instrinsically inferior to yours. Although I’m sure there are some exceptions, I don’t see very many cases of Blacks or other minorities thinking or acting like they’re superior to Whites.
Secondly, and most importantly, racism is mostly about the establishment and maintenance of uneven power relations between racial groups. Whites have no supportable claim to the lack of power, not even now as they get moderately knocked down a couple of notches. All major institutions of power – governmental, economic, corporate, justice, media, etc. – are widely controlled by a hugely disproportionate number of White, wealthy males.
Using this dual definition of racism – uneven power relations coupled with a sentiment of inherent racial supremacy – non-White minority groups cannot be technically racist against Whites (although there may be some validity to the claim that there is racism among some minority groups relative to others). Of course, this may change as Whites increasingly find themselves a demographic minority, but that is no guarantee of the loss of economic and political power either. Look at places like South Africa where Whites are a small minority but yet use institutional racism to maintain economic disparities and power.
Any White who makes disingenuous claims of “reverse vicitimization” or “reverse racism” is being intentionally obtuse. There is no such thing, and they know it. And even if there were instances of anti-White sentiment, or a feeling of disenfrachisment, well what can I say?… Cry me a river! Welcome to club, now you have a tiny taste of what everyday life has been like since Whites arrived here and exalted themselves on the backs, and through the spilt blood, of millions of Native Americans, Blacks, Latinos and Asians.
Welcome to the club indeed! You’re certainly in good company.
on February 28th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Oh, come on. I do buy the reverse discrimination claims. You aren’t being honest or have never known a minority person who confided their inner thoughts if you think they can’t be racist. For another, since minorities are the minority – they just haven’t had the chance to be in power and misuse it.
All you have to do is travel to other countries to see that when people of color ARE in power – and you can look to Asian countries like Japan as examples, you will see that they really dislike their minoritie as well.
Why shouldn’t they?
They dislike the loss of their familiar cultures.
I see no problem with that.
Whites do have a culture here. Many COME here and say that they are following the American Dream. The American Dream is ______? To make money? To take advantage of the minorities? So why would people of color want to come here if they are so pure that they have no evil intentions? After all, they should stay home rather than trample the Native American’s land on the border.
Yet, they come right over and trample away.
The Native Americans have pleaded with the illegals to STOP coming on their land.
You are simply swallowing propaganda.
on February 28th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I really appreciate the whites that have been so good to me.
They are not given enough credit for the many, many international child programs – providing the administration and support to help children all over the world go to school.
They have also adopted countless children all over the world. I think Americans have adopted about 38,000 children from China, alone.
Let’s be fair and give credit where credit is due.
It isn’t there fault that the world was a crude place in the 1700′s, 1800′s, etc.
It was crude in all parts of the world – including India – with a severe caste system. Even now, Africa allows men to have many wives. Is that progressive?
Don’t demonize Caucasians who have brought many good things to this planet – including medical research that is top notch and shared with the world.
on February 28th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
I hate to tell you this, but the Japanese spilled plenty of blood and they aren’t white.
They turned to war as a problem-solving method and tried to conquer others. So did the Chinese.
The Mayans – were peaceful? No.
Let’s be fair. Given the chance to hold power, few people on the planet can live up the perfect model you are dreaming of.
on February 28th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
Granny, I’m not sure what your argument is. You’ve set up a couple of strawman arguments that I didn’t make and then proceeded to bash those. Your twisted logic seems to be that since anyone in power is capable of being racist, then it’s OK for Whites in the U.S. Two wrongs…
You completely ignore the unique and historically unprecedented way that race was constructed in the U.S. and how it’s been institutionalized. The U.S. racial system is extraordinary in history. The cultural and physical genocide of Native Americans, the unique form of “chattel” slavery that was based on the ownership of human property, the militaristic expansionism resulting in the loss of about a half of Mexico’s richest territories, etc. are all based largely on racial supremacist ideologies.
By the way, the modern form of medicine we practice today was inherited from the Muslims. You see the world through a racialized lens. Biological race has been disproven by biologists and anthropologists. Race is a social construct so your silly childish statements about the contributions of the mighty Caucasian race seem really dated in 2009. Your discourse could have easily been lifted straight from the discourse of the 19th century, the era of scientific racism, and the myth of Great Anglo-Saxon Protestant race, ordained by God (Manifest Destiny) to spread its superior genes and culture thoughout the world.
If you really are a Granny, I sure hope you’re not filling the heads of your poor grandkids with this nonsense.
on February 28th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I’m just curious Granny. What, in your mind, is “white culture”? One more: Assuming you can answer the first question cogently, how is “white culture” threatened by non-white immigrants?
Were you aware that the vast majority of the Ellis Island immigrants from Europe, the Italians, the Irish, Scottish, Germans, etc., were not considered “white” at first? They were chastised by many native white Americans for being un-American, unassimable, poor, ignorant, and a threat to mainstream (white) American culture. The Germans lived in their own enclaves and set up German schools and spoke German. Read some of the anti-immigrant texts from those days and you’ll see what I mean. It’s almost word-for-word the same as much of the rhetoric today coming from the likes of Tancredo, Buchanan, Dobbs, etc. Just change “Irish”, “German”, etc. to “Mexican”, “Muslim”, “Hispanic” and it’s same old same old. Of course, those dirt-poor, illiterate, uneducated, non-English speaking people didn’t destroy our civilization then, and the recent wave won’t either. I suggest you watch “The Golden Gate,” or “The Gangs of New York”. A good read is Josiah Strong’s “Our Country: Its Possible Future and Its Present Crisis” (1885) too. It was a best seller at the time, and it’s very eye-opening to see how the anti-immigrant rhetoric today is nearly a cut and paste from the rhetoric throughout history.
on February 28th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Native Americans may have been here first, but did that give them an excuse to murder pioneers on sight?
No.
Let’s remember them when we talk about “spilt blood”.
There had to have been waves of the original people – natives – and did they greet each incoming wave with murder and mayhem?
Did they welcome newcomers? No one knows how much “spilt blood” was spilled before whites came because there was no written history.
Therefore, people of color make assumptions that fit with their chosen world views.
Choosing to “remember” a history that is a figment of their imaginations.
Come on, people.
You warn us of the evils of whites while the Mexican Mafia takes over the border with nothing but evil intentions.
!
on February 28th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
According to Vanity Fair, an article written in August of 2008, more than 60,000 Chinese babies have been adopted by Americans.
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
“… people of color make assumptions that fit with their chosen world views.
Choosing to “remember” a history that is a figment of their imaginations.”
Could you possibly be anymore patronizing and condescending? Yes, as a “person of color” (white isn’t a color?) I’m really going to want to to listen to what someone with such an arrogant air of supremacy has to say. In your twisted worldview, whites have the correct version of history, and us mentally inferior “people of color” have revised it to fit our preconceieved world views. Are you sure you aren’t talking about yourself?
Unbelievable!
PS. You still evade my questions. What is “white culture,” and given that, how is “white culture” threatened by non-whites (immigrants and otherwise)? C’mon now, let’s hear it… Your whole line of reasoning rests of the very premise of the existence of such a thing as a white race and a white culture, as separate from other races and cultures. Did you know that Mexicans and Latinos in general constitute all so-called races? Yes, there are many Black, White, Asian, Indigineous, etc. Latinos. And Argentinians are largely European in descendancy, and I’m not talking about Spain. Do you see how complicated the real world is? I am personally a White American with Mexican descendency. What would you do with someone like me? What silly notion of race would you apply to me? How does it matter?
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Don,
You are the victim of racist propaganda.
Native Americans called whites names that described the color of their skin – did they not?
Or the color of their eyes?
You are a hateful person in my opinion. Don’t try punishing me with your hate. I have taken many college classes in Anthro, Soc, etc.
You are simply jealous that Caucasions were advanced in technology when they came to these shores. Everyone knows it and you will admit it, too. One of these days.
Everyone is jealous of those with power. But, just as SOME Native Americans handed over their daughters to the white men (not considering their daughters as anything but property) natives all over the globe were impressed with the Caucasians – handsome men, beautiful women, technologically superior and well-educated.
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Frankly, I don’t really care what happened to the early immigrants who were chastized. Because, the truth is – had the immigrant flow been stopped earlier, this country would have been better off. It would have had a lower population, for one thing. The Mexican Mafia most likely wouldn’t be found in Oregon forests today – and other horrors.
No, those who were here first were right to object.
And we are right to object, now.
Have you never taken a class in Population Studies?
(The Japanese threw some of the early Christian missionaries in boiling hot springs.)
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
The Japanese are wealthy today because they have had strict controls on immigration.
Apparently, all wealthy countries are somehow evil and all poor countries are somehow deserving of the wealth of others.
Sometimes, the Europeans went to other countries seeking some natural resource that was not even valued by the natives – and today’s pro-immigrant crowd say that it was “robbing”.
I have to slowly explain to you that overpopulation by the poor of our planet – is another form of robbing. China has at least faced up to overpopulation – while other countries seem to take no responsibility at all.
It is thieving, too. Just in another form.
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Everywhere that whites have gone, when they are the “first” in an area, the local natives stare at them, stroke their hair, etc.
So, I guess you need to explain to me in more detail how race is just a construct of Europeans – because the whole world knows there is an obvious arguement to that notion.
Just ask the natives.
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
My blond aunt went to Korea in the 1950′s. Whites were uncommon there. The Koreans came out of their homes and rushed up to her. They went so far as to touch her and tug at her hair.
She said it got to be annoying.
Governments are just arms of the people. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Chinese in San Francisco wore pins to make sure that they were not mistaken for the Japanese. The were not too keen on the Japanese and some Japanese in Hawaii were not too keen on the Japanese, either. Ha ha…..
The women of San Franciso were also irritated by the Chinese men earlier in the century who were loitering around causing problems as single men often do – when the work for the railroads ran out.
So, some policies may have come about – not because of the mean white men of the US – but because of the minorities and women.
on February 28th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Some people of color do leave the US and go to live happily in other countries. It’s not like anyone is forced to live in this “horrible” country. In fact, Americans have moved all over the globe and find it fun to relocate.
Those who remain and want to constantly “teach” (whine) about every past injustice – are just in need of happiness. They need to “get out” and quit trying to make other feel guilty about things they didn’t do.
on February 28th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I know my mother didn’t wake us up in the morning and start grinding on the evil white race.
She never said one word about whites that was negative.
So, it just proves that not all people of color have hate in them – and you DON’T NEED TO EITHER.
You are giving people an excuse to have a bad attitude.
What are you going to do with me?
Go back to Mexico and live freely.
Ha ha.
on February 28th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Holy moly Granny, you ARE a white supremacist. If there was any doubt before, you just removed it with your last posts. I feel sorry for you actually. Of course, trying to reason with someone with your twisted world view is a complete exercise in futility.
And after all that wasted internet bandwidth, you still can’t answer my simple questions: What is “white culture”? And how do non-whites threaten it?
Some more bonus questions: Am I white? I’m a light-skinned Latino. What is “white”? How does one know if one is “white”? How do you know you don’t have a Black or Native American or Arab back somewhere in your vast ancestry? Is there a purity test somewhere? Does the “one drop” rule apply in your way of thinking? These are serious questions. If you can’t answer them, it shows your complete and utter cluenessless and the lack of any foundation for your arguments. If can’t even define “white” or “white culture” there goes your whole world view, right down the toilet and into the sewer where it most definitely belongs. Did you know that scientists believe we all came from one man in Africa? I hate to break this to you but that would make us all technically Black.
Well?
on February 28th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Not that I believe the message that underlies what I’m about to write, but I do it to illustrate your twisted logic:
I live in an area where “whites” (your favorite word) commit most crimes and have drug and alcohol problems. I live in a nice neighborhood in a rural area. In my neighborhood, there are a few Asians, Blacks and Latinos. In the surrounding area are delapidated trailer parks and shacks with welfare dependent crack users and alcoholics. They’re all “white”. How do you explain this in light of your thesis that whites are somehow magically more beautiful, smarter, blessed by God with gifts and talents, and have halos over their heads? How would you explain the fact that most serial killers and mass murderers are white, that suicides are higher for whites, that most sex crimes, including child rapes, are committed by whites, etc.?
You see how easy it is to demonize any group? I’d like to hear your white supremacist logic explain all these irrefutable facts. The whites where I live scare me, and they don’t seem that beautiful and smart at all, unless you think fat toothless pasty faced people are beautiful. Or 90 lb. crack addicts who look 90 at the age of 30. Yeah, a real superior race Granny. Lovely people…
on February 28th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Don Quixote:
You bring up an interesting point about necessity in racial identity. It makes perfect sense that an African American cultural identity developed because African Americans had no other choice but to carve something out of what was left of their dessicated lives. Whereas, the Irish, Germans, etc. all chose to come here, chose to remain insular (or not) and were obviously free to blend in with others. There isn’t an overwhelming “white culture” because there was never the necessity to create one or mold what was into what is.
Granny:
“…handsome men, beautiful women, technologically superior and well-educated.”
Gee, I wonder what happened? Now those people who identify themselves as white above any other cultural or psychic considerations are generally uneducated, toothless and technologically stunted with ridiculously bad haircuts.
on February 28th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Not all immigrants were poor and treated badly.
So, that is a stereotype.
My ancestor wrote about his life in his former country – details – that when weddings were held they were lavish affairs and that this new country was more crude and simple. (1820 emigration)
Also, one of my ancestors came from a family which manufactured products. They were producing with a very large crew in the 1870′s.
Do you even know your family history?
on February 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Liesl,
I do appreciate your comments and the spirit of them. I do take exception to anyone being considered a Marxist who abandons his later view of a democratic revolution.
Too many on the left and the right rely on and quote the pre 1848 Marx and Engels. Eighteen Fourty-eight was as critical a year in the political history of Europe as Nineteen Sixty-eight was in both Europe and the United States. Violent revolutions in 1848 sweep all over the continent and ended up in failure with horrible consequences.
Marx and Engels after eighteen forty-eight became more and more dedicated to democratic institutions and changing society through the democratic process. The Socialist parties in Europe were some of our strongest allies in the fight against Soviet Totalitarianism. All of them are still dedicated to Marxist ideals; post eighteen forty-eight Marxism.
As usual though, extremist with little knowledge have stolen and distorted the language.
PS Love your web page. I was helping to chain some of my vet friends to federal and state buildings back in the early 70’s trying to get access. I agree, words matter.
on February 28th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
Granny
I used to be a teacher and I did teach injustices that our books covered up like the Philippine Insurrection. I didn’t do it to “whine” or wash out some white guilt I might have. No, History is like science, not having all the data or having false data skews the outcome. As a former Intelligence analyst, I saw this first hand when all of us in the field were ignored about an impending Iraqi insurrection.
The main reason I taught these things though, and I made this perfectly clear to my students, was to show how far we have and can continue to come as a nation and as human beings. Our troops and generals called the Pilipino’s by the N word, we massacred up to hundreds of thousands of them in sheer anger.
We did however court martial a general for war crimes and found him guilty making our military more accountable and professional.
If you only wave the flag and never tell of those other brave Americans. Heroes like the helicopter pilot who threatened to fire on fellow US troops to stop the killing at Mi Lai. They need to be in our history books as well and maybe even a few statues.
on March 1st, 2009 at 11:42 am
I don’t know who you people discuss politics with.
I know plenty of white, clean-cut, well-educated (college grads and above) who are against illegal immigration and are sick of the “people of color” rhetoric.
They may be careful about who they express their opinions to.
I also know Asians who are against illegal immigration. Again, they are well-educated, have plenty of money for travel and expensive homes.
See the YOUTUBE video by T. Willard Fair, who is CEO and President of the Urban League of Greater Miami – also against illegal immigration. And Colonel Rodriguez of “You Don’t Speak for Me” – an American Hispanic against illegal immigration.
I guess it is pretty obvious that if you live in an area that has more whites than people of color, you will only see whites.
What is sad is that our law enforcement is claiming that 80 to 90% of meth, heroin and cocaine are coming from Mexico. So, those poor whites around you are victims of drug-pushers from south of the border.
Interesting, that you feel no pity for them, and do not access the police blotters (online and available) for areas where Hispanics are dominant – such as LA or Phoenix.
Phoenix now estimated to have 5,000 gang members (and climbing).
on March 1st, 2009 at 11:48 am
In the 1800′s, Mexican workers at one point were brought into the US as workers – and found to be smoking marijuana in the fields.
So, do you want to discuss why Americans frowned on these foreign workers?
It’s all racism? No.
on March 1st, 2009 at 11:53 am
I’m not saying anything should be covered up. Most things whites did are not covered up.
I’m saying that the murders Indians committed and many other crimes that “people of color” committed – and still commit – are covered up or glossed over.
The “poor me” attitude is showing up in the illegal immigrant population – even though they should not be here at all. They make up their own laws and then cry foul when we don’t accommodate them.
That is unfair to poor whites who I helped for many years in my governmental work.
I already know about the Phillippines. So?
on March 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Granny, one more time and then I’ll quit. You have to define what you mean by “white culture” to support your whole argument. Given that, you then have to tell us how non-whites are destroying this ethereal mythical “white culture” you speak so highly of. These are the two premises are the basis of your entire world view, so you’d better be able to answer them. They’re not trick questions. If you can’t articulate an intelligible answer, you have to admit that your entire argument completely self destructs.
I’ve also asked you if in your twisted scheme of logic, you consider a light-skinned American of Mexican descent, like me, a “white person”. What criteria do you use to determine “whiteness”? Are you using the “one drop” rule established in the 19th century? How far back do you go given that we all descended from Africa and our most ancient common ancestors were probably Black?
on March 1st, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Granny, your posts remind me of a quote from the famous physicist Steven Hawking: “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
And you continue to evade the most fundamental question that your entire world view is based on: Define “white culture”, “whiteness” and tell us why non-whites threaten these concepts. If you can’t even tell me what makes a person “white” or a practitioner of “white culture,” then how can you make the claims you do of white surpremacy? Your whole world view is based on some ethereal mythical abstraction – the idea of a white supreme master race and homogeneous white culture – that you seem to find impossible to define.

The truth is – my posts are being deleted. That good, huh?
Challenging your thinking?
You would still be washing your clothes in a river if it weren’t for the technological advancements of my European relatives.
You are so jealous you are eaten alive. Do you post here every day – so jealous that you must BEAT UP anyone who dares to question your obvious POC propaganda?
While you lecture us on and on about the woundrous virtues of diversity, the Mexican Mafia ships cocaine, heroin and meth over the border by the truckload. Our law enforcement stating that 80 to 90% of those products are coming from Mexico. So much for the wonderful diversity by Mexicans.
I’m a person of color, too, so what are you going to do with me?
Ha ha ha ha…..no one can tell YOU the truth. You’re probably a bilingual and benefitting from the illegal invasion.
on March 2nd, 2009 at 11:41 am
You people that are fans of Ann Coulter are absolute lemmings. Especially the ones of you that talk about her books. Her books are full of lies and half-truths and manipulation of the facts. This fact has been proven time and time again. She is a vile human being and I’m not sure how someone can claim to be a Christian and a supporter of this hateful woman. Why not actually use your brain instead of blindly believing everything you are told. There is a reason people like her don’t use footnotes as documentation, opting for end-notes instead. This way she can hide all of her lies in 20-30 pages that most people aren’t going to try and wade through. I say “most people” because of course some have researched and have documented how manipulative and deceitful she truly is. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608070002

Roger Mac-Evoy,
What do you get from a couple of mics? Talk of communism, of course! (kidding, everyone!) I think it’s funny that so many people confuse the word “Marxist” with the reality of how it has been perverted by people like Lenin and Castro. I do a little experiment in my classes every semester that scares the bejeesus out of my students. We go through and read each of the conditions for communism laid out in the Manifesto and we compare them to our own country. My students are almost always stunned to see how similar we are to the original ideas, not the perversion of poor practice.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. :-> I’m a big fan of words, obviously, and of access. Actually, I’d like to see the SPLC do more with disabilism as an agenda, some day. I suspect they will, since they rock. Clearly.
on March 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 am
The importance of the Socialist and Communist Party in this debate is that they are now pushing the illegals – in full support it seems – so how is it that they are so concerned about illegals?
Isn’t it because they are Hispanic and the majority of illegals are Hispanic?
Those parties do a lot of secret work – and then complain when any other governments to secretive work. They can also outright murder those they don’t like. Aren’t you forgetting why people had to flee Vietnam and other countries?
on March 3rd, 2009 at 10:41 am
My parents would go all over the US if it meant getting work. My father went to Vietnam, Guam, Hawaii and Alaska in order to make good money. My mother worked in Miami and Alaska. She never complained about how she was treated. She was too busy working.
Even today, while people complain about unemployment, there is work in Alaska – fabulous pay and yes, danger.
Lots of whites went to work on the pipelines in Alaska – dangerous work and dangerous and….dangerous – and then some. Everyone takes it for granted when whites do something dangerous. But people of color must have a badge. They weren’t always that way – it is the spoiled children of color who clamor for equality – which they have had for many generations.
As far as I know, schools are free. So are libraries.
Teach your children to love books – not hate other people.

Grannyof Whites,
I am a political science major at medium sized, upper-midwest university and….
I agree with nearly everything you have posted thus far!
The PC crowd don’t much like eugenics.. Never let the truth in the way of racism.

“I am a political science major…”
Uh oh, an expert has shown up. Let’s all step back and allow the political science student to school us on something or other.

who gives a good got damn what that anorexic sun depraved vampiric lunatic says?
on March 6th, 2009 at 4:24 am
I really hope that this poor excuse for a woman ( and man she is a horse face…perhaps this is why she is sooo bitter) cannot breed.
She is why I hate republicans. This is why I cringe at the word “conservative”. After being yelled at by my bitter, misinformed and racist co-workers and members of my community I have had it. Im just at the point where I have to say that I hate you all…right wing nuts. Even the ones that I thought were ok and good at the core will stab me in the back and prove once again that all that they see is a n***er. Racist is synonymous with republican. I live in one of the worst states possible…Arizona. Its literal hell. Its hot, John McCain lives here and its a red state. I cant wait to move to a real place where that stupid b*****es book isnt flying off of the shelves. She lies and twists the truth as they all do. If you ever listen to her logic and stats its all one sides and biased. Her propaganda is anti anyone that is not like her rich, white, sheltered right winger peers . She even bags on single moms! This is a sicko who needs to have her tounge cut out.
on March 6th, 2009 at 4:36 am
BTW…GOP thinks they are smart to appoint a black man to lead them. Funny like anyone is stupid enough to fall for an uncle tom! Might as well have a black man lead the KKK as in the Chapelle show skit!
on March 7th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
it astounds me that simple words can bring out such rage in people..taye, tyrone(ha) mixon and ajamarie, take a breath, us sun deprived vampiric lunatics don’t hate all of you…and taye is talking about physical violence, how juvenile…although i’m neither right or left wing, i find it amusing that the SPLC will let angry blacks air their comments as well…easy there bruthas and sistas, all that stress isn’t good for your heart, you know how your kind fall victim to heart attacks fairly easily.
on March 12th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Does Ann Coulter live on the same planet that I live on?
on March 12th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Wow, I haven’t seen a thread like this in a long time.
Pity on Ann, she only has one dress, a black one and one bottle of hair color. Just look at what law school can do for you.
I read Coulter’s first two books, decided she was nuts and now no longer read or watch her.
As a life long southerner, when ever I see “what democrats have done for 40 years” I have to stop you. The ‘old democrats” jumped to the GOP and we now have the new Dem party not to be confused with the old.
Racism is alive and well, we just don’t discuss in polite company.
on March 13th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Always interesting to see a political association tied to who one stands up for. If of a liberal slant/belief, nothing a Democrat does can be bad. If one is a conservative slant/belief, then they are the spawn of Satan, er sorry, you don’t believe in the Bible if a liberal.
I have followed the rantings of the SLC for years, and it is just another mouthpiece to shut up free speech in our country from “certain” people.
One day, maybe we can get this ironed out again..but it won’t be pretty getting there.
on March 14th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Ann Coulter is perfect representative of the twisted, self pitying party the Republicans have become. I think she feels she can just say anything and get way with it. Even she must be amazed!!
But the real disturbing thing is the eagerness of so many to welcome her statements regardless of truth and her basic tenet that large numbers of people in this country secretly hate America and want to destroy it and the willingness of the media to be a part of this for profit motives..
Republicans, like Coulter, have created a divided country and have spread hate and ill will as never before in their scorched earth policy of dividing the country into us vs them . And anyone who thinks that anything on the left is in anyway remotely comparable to the hate she spreads and the amount of support Conservatives give her, is willfully blind.
There is a lot of hate in this country and the really frightening thing is that so many embrace it. She is just the tip of the iceberg.
on March 14th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
It is clear that Coulter started her pimping herself when she joined the Federalists Society, whose bigoted mantra included their good-old-boy cowardly beliefs about women that went beyond being chauvinistic and whose judicial decisions are controlling the Supreme Court and other courts. She furthers her lack of veracity and conscience by her ability to profit off of hate. But, the real problem isn’t her. It’s the people who buy into her rhetoric. They are the ones we need to be concerned with, along with extremely unprofessional and profit driven media personalities ( some of whom agree with her), who attempt to legitimize her behavior. If she was other than an extreme conservative and was targeting conservatives, she probably would have been designated as one of their “terrorists” by now and locked away without effective legal representation.
on March 15th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
You guys at SPLC are anti white. You need to come out of the closet and just say it you hate whites.
on March 15th, 2009 at 11:27 pm
I’m subsribed to the email list on the thread and many people are delusional here. She was not endorinsg this CCC. She used them as a comparison for the very racism that you people are complaining about.
You really should read the book. It is very good.
on March 19th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Where is the outrage to this onslaught to deprive human beings of their equal rights? Where is the outrage at the abuse heaped upon lgbt children? Where is the outrage for the victims of ALL bias motivated violence? I read and see where so many are free to write and pose high ideals on issues of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and poverty but where are they when ugly and bias legislation comes before city, state or national political bodies? Showing up for candle lit vigils are a day late, take action now. Who is willing to publicly address the hate spewed by Coulter and her ilk?
As for the writer above who defined native americans as red, fails history when not addressing what is unique to the results of the American Holocaust. It is estimated that close to 100 million Native Americans lost their life when the Europeans claimed this land. We are a nation of very mixed blood and cultures. Facts and honesty of all of our history is the path to acceptance for everyone.
When the question was posed to a Cherokee Elder, “What is the skin color of Native Americans?” The answer was. “They are the color of the soil.” I am a by product of the mix of former slaves, Cherokee, and English. What is my skin color, to whom do I align with? I choose to not hate, to accept all but let none, ever again, step upon my person nor those I love.
on March 19th, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Carolyn Wagner,
Read THE book. Coulter was not endorinsg this CCC. She used them as a comparison for the very racism that you people are complaining about.
You are the one spewing hate about her and I doubt that you have read the book!
–
Also, you are applying today’s standards to history. If you are going to talk about the Europeans claiming “this land”, then you need to include things like…
- how it was the Progressives who started Planned Parenthood for the purpose of killing off “undesireables” ;
- or how the “Liberals”/Progressives have kept the inner cities enslaved for over 40 years with policies that create and foster hopelessness, despair and death. (You can’t blame Bush, you can’t blame Republicans and you can’t blame Conservatives. But we all can blame Democrats and Liberals for the plight of the inner cities over the past FORTY YEARS!!!!!);
- or how the “Liberals”/Progressives have done the same thing to American Indians by pushing programs on them that keep those people enslaved.
You are directing your anger at the wrong place. It’s liberalism that must be destroyed. Read Coulter’s book – as a start.
A good video is “How Modern Liberals Think” by Evan Sayet. Evan used to be a writer for Bill Maher:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c
I guess the big thing to remember is that it is the liberals who have been the problem all along. They attack Coulter and they haven’t read her works.
For the record, I don’t like how she presents herself on TV, but, as I said, her writing is good.
on March 25th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
God, I love Ann. If I were twenty years younger and single I’d marry her. I love her thought process and the way she stands up to the politicians and media but I would have to gag her and just let her type her blogs, books, and opinions because she won’t shut up long enough for anyone to get their opinions across. She has good ideas and makes a lot of sense on the issues but please Ann, just write and keep your mouth shut.
on March 26th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
As despicible as Ms. Coulter is, she has just as much right to voice her opinions as we do. Still, I find myself thinking – stop her before she reproduces.
on April 16th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
ALL THAT I CAN GET OUT OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS YOU CAN PUT A SUIT ON A MONKEY AND IT IS STILL A MONKEY
on May 7th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Ann Coulter is a racist. She’s not afraid to admit it, and people who disagree with racism should not be afraid to force her to pay consequences for her actions. In the near future, there will be a second revolution by the minorities in this country, only they won’t be that anymore. Minorities will make up the majority, and the race currently known as ‘White’ will make up a very small percentage of the population. Let Ann Coulter run her mouth and get herself and the rest of her racist colleagues thrown out of government. It will happen.
on May 7th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Ares, whatever you’re smoking, please stop b/c it’s killing your percepton of reality. Ann Coulter doesn’t represent all whites and no”revolution by minorities” will ever happen.
You sound like an anti-white, there’s also no room for people like you either but we’ll put up with it and have a good laugh at your expense.
on June 11th, 2009 at 12:12 am
I really do not like spending my precious time commenting on such “characters” as this, but what would the world be without the likes of me and one yet ignorant, unique AssH#$! like Ann Coulter.
With that stated, my personal opinion of this “unbelievable woman” (and please believe me, I’m stretching my words by recognizing Ann Coulter, as a human being let alone a woman of pure power),…Crazy, Deranged and completely out of this or any world for that matter. Not to mention the ignorant rhetoric that continuously spews and spills from her lips!. I love it, because she can educate the masses, unfortunately however, through her own ignorance. What a keen and witty, yet illogical and ignorant mind she posses!
Thank you for your “underlined, radically racial” opinions (no wonder it didn’t work with Bill Maher) Anne! I feed, and progressively educate the real US majority (who you obviously know none, except for Chaney and Bush), without party prejudice, US citizens via people like you. So, in essence, you have served your country well! I Salute You…Queen Bitch, a title that suits you well!
If Aliens invaded our planet tomorrow, you would be one of the first to be exterminated if ignorant comments and antics were a factor. Thank the universe for wishful thinking. Thank the universe for ignorant people like you who spread discontent and anarchy.
This chick (Ann Coulter) is completely intolerable by any “human” standards with the exception of being an extremist …never mind creed nor color.
Anne, do us all a favor, grab a “Desert Eagle”, point and click…it’s that simple! Awww…I shouldn’t have said that? Really? Come on, you and I both know she’s a terrible representative of the USA. She’s does smell funny though…lol!
Ann, I know you and you don’t know me lol (however, I would debate you in a heartbeat and make you look none the less “clumsy”)! LoL again @ U Ann! I love the USA…don’t you Ann? Anonymous entities is what created today’s (06/10/2009 D.C., Museum killing) tragedy with the Holocaust Museum killing…did you like that press Ann? Are you a proud American? I’m not, and furthermore, it was certainly a domestic act of terrorism! I could almost swear (if I believed in GOD) that you are throwing your “fists in a hoo-rah for WHITE JUSTICE”, right now in hopes of some unfounded, unfortunate and unbelievable wishes for Humanity as a “WHOLE” to end, with the WHITE RACE only left on the planet. Am I wrong?. How do you think you and your people will survive? You didn’t make it here alone Ann. Blacks, Africans, African Americans, first and foremost Ann, taught you and your ancestors and everyone on this planet, how to be, how to use, they taught you “CIVILIZATION BITCH” and how to be. But, along the way the majority of the population forgot to remember. Yes it’s an oxymoron, yet true! Everything you/whites and they/the rest,” know today is possible because of all ethnicities. Suck it up BITCH, it’s a fact, it’s called E+V+O+L+U+T+I+I+O+N! Your maternal grandmother was black, your paternal grandfather was black!
I know there is this thing called “freedom of speech”, and I do respect that, but when you personally make it “seem okay” to discriminate, and exploit an entire race of people, based on completely altered and unfounded facts, then your words are no longer valued, they’re meaningless and unappreciated, not to mention, this is “Ignorance At It’s Peak! Simply put Ann, you do not speak to or for the masses. There’s an entire world lingering out there that you can in no way “shape, form or fashion”…comprehend…ever, due to your I presume, inherited ignorance!
Where did you study Ann? That institution owes you a huge refund!!!!!!! LMAO@U again! I’m sure it wasn’t a prestigious institution.
I’m sure you would take this insult as a compliment, but you are Rush Limbaugh in the “fat and obnoxious” female form. By the way Anne, no one really likes Rush, regardless of what the networks say, so, I guess that means…we don’t like you!
And oh, did I misspell your name …pooh, too bad. It’s like one of those foreign identities, I just do not get, but aren’t they all…my bad Sis! Alas, by calling you Sis, am I recognizing you as an African American or a woman? Hell Fucking NO, it’s just my “slang” girl! Go fetch!
By the way, with a name like that, are you American, or a French Spy…LMAO@U? Oh yea, that’s right, no one in the USA is American, only the Natives. Sorry, we are all derivatives of our ancestral lands. Mine happens to be everywhere including Africa, the Middle East, Russia, Iran, and like I said, everywhere else, so that makes me cultured and I represent everyone in a fair manner to this respect at least. Unfortunately, this does not apply to you.
Sounds to me like you should move to France and take your Bu#@S*T with you!
You are a moron!
Sincerely,
Tracey in Pasadena, CA
This woman is a complete moron. Ignorant to any “true” meaning of sociology
on June 11th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
If Ann Coulter is a moron, she is certainly a smart, rich moron. You sound like most liberals I know–they can’t handle the truth, nor someone with a different point of view.
Truthfully,
E. Joseph in Eastern Ky
on July 24th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
first of all everything that was stated in the article is completely false. who ever wrote this article should be fired. then you have few liberal idiots following the false information and commenting on it before they see the facts. thats why liberals are so stupid, they dont know any facts they think and talk right off reaction. you idiots should be deported with all the other ILLEGAL immigrants. now i guess im racist because i said ILLEGAL immigrants should be sent back to the country and come the right way. you guys need to jump off a bridge. white power! no im not a racist im just proud to be white, no one says a black guys racist when he says black power. morons you all should be sent to an island.
on July 25th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Coulter is deliberately controversial for monetary gain. She rides the razors edge brilliantly. Every racist, nationalist comment leaves the door open for additional clarification requiring endless debate. Conservatives embrace her and applaud each comment, giving her air-time to bask in the glory of her incendiary ignorance and further entrenching her racist beliefs deeper into the fabric of their flawed morality. Moderates attempt to debate and trap her, ultimately enlarging the coffers of Coulter. Liberals tend to curtly dismiss her, irritating the hell out of her and driving her to make increasingly ignorant comments. I hope she keeps it up. Her comments often drive the like-minded to stand up and agree with her, bringing them out of the shadows where they can be seen for what they are.
on July 25th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
So, there are many on all sides who never allow anything to be forgotten and who also fail to mention the positives.
She could be seen as only fighting back against the paid advocates – the professional diversity employees or contractors with the state and federal government. What, exactly is the difference?
Many of us have had to sit through diversity training propaganda in our employment. While the truth is, Putnam at Harvard concluded that diversity is not good for communities. The government should be sued for spending tax dollars on based on false ideas which are probably just pushed by employers who want to forget about people and human emotion.
on July 27th, 2009 at 9:53 am
There are closet bigots in all communities. I remember going to a black church as a teen and how the young teen girls treated me when their parents asked them to let me sing.
Ha!
What was the problem – the color of my skin? They hadn’t even heard me sing – (primarily it was one girl – the ringleader, who was very negative and hateful).
I had been singing in church for many years before that – just not their church. It’s not like I wasn’t qualified.
Oh, I’ve got a hundred stories about race.
on July 27th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Blacks and Hispanics are no longer “minorities” since they number in the millions. They can be just as self-promoting and bullying as whites – who they accuse of the same negative traits. They see themselves mirrored in their faces.
They know it is truly the groups with the small numbers who don’t see themselves on basketball teams, in movies, in advertising: Asians and Native Americans, for instance – who are the true minorities in America, today.
That said, I don’t think every group coming to our shores should push so hard to replace the culture here with their own. It sickens me.
It is okay in Japan, for example, to protect one’s own culture – or in Mexico, but not here? That is wrong.
America does have it’s own culture and the whites who have been here for hundred of years were primarily farmers and business owners who built this country to where it is now. Yes, there were negatives – but ALL countries have those negative – some much worse.
The truth shall set you free. Until you have driven through hundreds of miles with hundreds of farms and seen hundreds of farmers doing the work they have done since the 1600′s – YOU will be lying to yourself about America – and what made it great – if you can’t admit that whites with very good INTENTIONS made this country what it is today.
on July 27th, 2009 at 11:47 am
At this moment, “amber waves of grain” are coming to their most beautiful stage in many states.
Go and take a look at them. Think about the history of wheat growing in this country. See the people whose dream was to grow wheat, corn, beans, strawberries, apples. And to raise cattle, sheep and pigs.
What kind of DREAM is that?
It is one that has enabled so many of us to be alive to complain.
on August 12th, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Like my mother used to say, “why can’t we all just get along”
First time to the website (and most likely the last). For an organization that prides itself on tolerance, I am shocked at this blog. Lastly, discrimination and prejudice do occur, regardless of race. People (ALL PEOPLE) inherently are more comfortable in what they are used to. Educate, TEACH TOLERANCE. Peace.
on September 9th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Liberals are so predictable its frightening- When they are faced with issues that they disagree with and have no legitemate response that required any thought- your little pea brains short circuit and you start name calling and mudslinging- you never have any researched facts to back your arguments and act like little bully school children egging on a fight- jesus christ grow up!
on September 13th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
The first time I saw Coulter she was on Geraldo’s show commenting 2 1/2 times on ‘Clinton masturbating in the kitchen sink’. I really could not believe what I was hearing. Whatever happened to standards in this country? Someone like her should be related to a dark corner somewhere. She’s filthy. As for the Americas, there have been a number of migrations, not all from asia. China in the 1420′s left at least 2 colonies. The language & DNA of the Navaho have been directly linked to the Chinese. And, yes, the Chinese & the Native Americans are neither one red. The Chinese range from almost parchment white through gold to brown depending to a large extent on how much time they spend in the sun. Cheers!
on September 21st, 2009 at 12:33 am
Fox Tabloid News Network have collected the most insane white supremaciste-hate mongers in the United States and parade them on TV every evening. However, the masculine looking Coulter appears to be suffering from a bad thyroid problem. Some times I feel her eyes want to jump out of their socket.
on September 21st, 2009 at 1:07 am
Go Ann Coulter… at least she is brave enough to speak her mind without fear of a backlash… I appreciate her fearlessness.
on October 10th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Ann Coulter is a huge part of what is wrong with this country…offensive to anybody with more than one brain cell or tooth, but I’m writing because I have one question for Granny…
If you’re not rascist Granny, then why, instead of “GrannyofWhites,” aren’t you “Grannyof4″ or “Grannyof6″ or however many poor, little minds you are polluting with your tiny bit of knowledge? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and you Granny, are a loaded gun waiting to go off! On that count, I agree with Don Q.
I have traced my family tree back to the 900′s, and my “white” ancestors were in this country exactly twelve years after the Mayflower arrived…my ancestors also include Native Americans…so am I “white” or not? (PLEASE say no!!!) Since my ancestors were here centuries (or even millenia!) before yours, does that somehow mean that you are less legitimate than I?
I think not…(even though I think bigots like you should be forcibly deported – but who’d have you,? – and perhaps even sterilized so you cannot continue to pollute the gene pool)…
PLEASE try to gain a little more knowledge so you aren’t such a danger to your grandchildren’s world view. There are enough diseases out there already…don’t doom them with an infection of your bigotry. Bigotry is dangerous & offensive no matter who is exhibiting it….although I admit, I’m clearly bigoted about bigots…
ALSO, you never did make any attempt to answer Don Q’s extremely relevant question…
WHAT IS “WHITE CULTURE” & HOW IS IT THREATENED???
PLEASE, We’re all patiently awaiting your answer.
on October 11th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Well, our southern line is thought to be part Native American by a tribal genealogist and we, like many Americans are getting DNA tests and doing genealogy in order to make our claims to sovereignty. Lots of whites are part NA. I had a friend on a reservation who looked completely white but was 1/4 NA.
What is black culture? What is NA culture? The foods we eat, the songs we sing, the gods we praise, the values and customs we hold dear and pass down – many/most are white European – not NA, black or Asian.
Why I will continue speaking is because many people of color and other immigrants come here and want rights but forget about their responsibilities and that includes white Russians who are showing up on state welfare screens with 8 to 15 children. I know.
When you wonder why whites are “always” down on some ethnic group, maybe the first person you should call to ask why – is the manager of the local welfare office.
There are too many of us who have worked for the state or federal government and we see what many don’t. The lack of responsibility by people of color – the dependency which goes on for generation after generation.
Celebrate diversity – but celebrate it by thinking of ways to make your ethnic group independent, not more dependent on others.
California is going bankrupt. And it’s so diverse.
on October 11th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Also, I found an old article – not sure of the date – in which the media at that time had discovered that the Chinese workers in the US were planning a huge union. They were all sending a dollar to a central organization so that they would have more rights, strike, etc. This was when the US was flooded with them. In order to fight back the media began informing the public of their plans.
Later, the Chinese exclusion act was passed – but as you can see, it was to protect against these workers who were organizing and going to try to pump up their power, not because Americans were hateful or disliked their skin color. If they had dislked their race, why had they been hiring them to cook their food? This doesn’t make sense. If you hate someone’s race, you don’t want them to do anything for you or be in close quarters with them.
No, it is just like now. The influx of workers from other countries who are trying to make a show of power are increasing tensions among citizens because citizens have a sense of fairness and do not want to compete with people who have no history here.
And just as is discussed on “You Don’t Speak for Me” – it is true that our new “illegals” are self-declaring income levels while Americans have their income verified on screens that only caseworkers have access to.
Do you trust an illegal when they say they are poor? Not even Hispanic Americans trust them.
on October 11th, 2009 at 10:24 am
Also, immigrants come here and try to convince us that whites are bad, etc. And yet they come from countries that are evil in many ways. The males in other countries allow fewer rights for women. I know a whole passle of Asian women who dislike the males of their ethnic group who go drinking and treat them like they are inferior – they have all married American men.
And in Mexico they have the practice of “raptos” in which young girls are fair game for the advances and even rape by males – and the country can’t get new laws passed because the men won’t agree.
And in Liberia, when American blacks went there to live – the local Africans accused them of acting superior and arrogant.
But, people of color in America DEMAND their rights and live in a fairytale world (knowing all the while that they have it much better here.)
And do all these new immigrants ask the Native Americans for permission to live here. Ha! No, they act like white people and move right in.
Weren’t Native Americans racist to make a distinction between white newcomers and other newcomers along the border who looked like them? Yes, the Native Americans were racist.
on October 11th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Scott: How did you trace your ancestry back that far? And what did you find? I know it’s off topic, but I am so curious!
on October 11th, 2009 at 11:49 am
During World War II, blacks, whites, Native Americans and even Japanese Americans fought the Japanese.
Now, why didn’t blacks, Native Americans and Japanese Americans refuse to fight the invaders – who were bombing the coast of Oregon, Los Angeles and Pearl Harbor?
Isn’t it because they didn’t want to speak Japanese, work for the Japanese or eat Japanese food? In other words, they didn’t want people of another CULTURE to take over.
The Japanese were not necessarily “nice” having murdered many in China and other places.
And yet – they are people of color.
The Japanese are cool TODAY, but not yesterday. Not in the past.
The Native Americans and other ethnic groups were not always so cool, either, often murdering women and children on sight. Not cool.
Many Europeans were bringing education – reading, writing – to natives who had no education. The Spanish priests brought education to California and Mexico. Where would those indigents be today had they not been forced to go to school? They would be woefully naive and childlike in a world filled with educated people.
And the native like to point out any disease the Europeans brought without admitting that the Europeans also brought doctors and many good inventions. The Europeans brought farming traditions and methods that greatly increased food supplies for the whole world.
You can’t go back and select only the facts that make you feel good while conveniently forgetting major contributions.
on October 11th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Granny – You ramble on an awful lot, so it’s a bit difficult to follow your train of thought, except when it goes off the tracks, however…
You end your last post with, “You can’t go back and select only the facts that make you feel good while conveniently forgetting major contributions.”
Exactly, which is why the fact that Europeans brought writing and “education” with them is completely irrelevant to the fact that prior to that, they brought blankets & clothing purposely infected with smallpox and other diseases and traded with the natives for the express purpose of committing genocide….seems like you conveniently forgot a major “contribution” of the europeans there. The doctors weren’t really brought to help the indigenous people, and the effort to educate them was NOT done with their interests in mind, but rather to turn ‘savages’ into ‘civilized’ people that the europeans would feel more comfortable in their presence. It was an effort to recreate them in the europeans own image, without any attempt to understand the cultures they were bent on destroying. How else do you explain the endless broken promises of the european-americans to the indigenous peoples? In most cases, there wasn’t even any effort to disguise it as anything else.
As far as education goes, you’re talking about YOUR euro-centric idea of education…i.e.sitting in a classroom learning english, writing or european history while being forced to deny one’s own heritage. A lack of writing does not necessarily translate into ignorance. Personally, I think the ability to track game and hunt, knowledge of the natural world, the knowledge of the stars and natural cycles, and the traditions and history passed down verbally from generation to generation (completely lost forever now in some cases), among other things, are just as, if not more valuable than any euro-centric idea of “education.” Just because some europeans didn’t think it was valuable knowledge doesn’t mean it wasn’t.
Did you ever stop to think that perhaps the problem is not the immigrants themselves, but the governmental system & structure, established by “whites,” that allow them to do the things you are complaining about?
You also seem to have a problem with people demanding their rights…regardless of color, I don’t see the problem. I DEMAND my rights too…precisely because they are RIGHTS, NOT PRIVELEGES.
And BTW, you STILL really haven’t defined “White Culture” or the threats to it….
Liesl – to answer your question…I did it with the help of dedicated family members through a great deal of research at small-town (& big-city) libraries, and perhaps more critically, the good-fortune of having many very, very prominent families (euro-royalty, a founding father & prominent American-revolutionary figures, industry giants, etc.) in my family tree, which made it much easier to trace than if I did not.

Thanks, Scott! Hey, with all of that royalty/prominence, you should have some white pride! Ow, that hurt to type.

Oh my, my, my! The lifeless hate monger has spoken again! Well, as we know Coulter, fortunately, will never go away. As the international community becomes more educated and “Cultured” about the ways of other peoples around the world (not just Europeans and their dishonest histories), eventually, but not soon enough, people will become less tolerant of blabber mouths like Ann Coulter. She is unfortunately, doing the majority of us a favor by even existing and opening her mouth. Personally, I think she needs a night at The Comedy Club here in Los Angeles (Ann, you’d probably make more money at making us all laugh if you could just concentrate…lol), because when you pick apart her very existence it’s kind of sad, but oh boy, I find her hilarious. I am mixed with everything under the sun and am very proud of it all, especially my father belonging to the most ancient existing royal lineage on earth Haplogroup B, the first peoples that left Africa and made it possible for you to exist. Oh, I’m sure you don’t believe in true science obviously, and would rather rank yourself supreme, but it’s just not true Ann.
I will say however, for someone such as Coulter, to be so very loud mouthed, she doesn’t seem to proud of herself…constantly being on the defense. But I guess a paychecks a paycheck and that’s how I view her so called occupation, whatever that may be except a loud mouthed fool!
Oh and by the way Ann, about the Native Americans being racist at the first sight of Whites coming to THEIR LAND, you are simply crazy lady! How could they have been racist when they had never seen people with such skin color you idiot? They were curious and at first shared with the whites, until they realized their true agenda which was ultimately genocide. As far as whites bringing farming to this land….where in hell did you go to school? The Natives were already farming and as a matter of fact taught your ancestors more than they knew at the time about agriculture to say the least. Had it not been for the Native Americans, Europeans would have perished in this land long ago. Doctors, which you claimed they needed? Well, some kind of doctors those Europeans were…lol, they couldn’t even cure themselves of filth let alone teach the Native Americans about medicine (they were already doctors…ya big dummy) or cures that they did not need until the arrival of the Europeans and their disgusting cancers and viruses. I’ll tell you what the Europeans did introduce…alcohol, dishonesty, corruption and mayhem! Not all of them, but definitely the ancestors of those who have been running this nation previously which is the reason for the mess we’re in now. It didn’t start with Bush or Obama…Bush, whom I seriously despise. It started with the arrival of your ancestors and unfortunately continues today. Remember tricking the natives into giving their land away with promises of grandeur? The US Government still owes them today. Greed is an absolute negative part of society. Also, the Chinese were basically slaves. Read about them being transported around the world and left in places like South America and the Caribbean. They at first, did not come here of their own free will. Of course you know they built the railway system we use today. Why weren’t your ancestors by the masses out there busting their ass picking cotton, growing sugar cane, tobacco and the likes? Through fear not peace have White Americans of the past gained power. It will not last long…this I promise you and I think you know this, reason being for your rhetoric. What goes up must come down. This planet is best run by all who inhabit it…not a select few greedy whites, blacks, jews, asians or any other race of people! And until this happens this world will continue to be run into the ground as it is today. Lady, you need to wake you and stop napping on life.
The discoveries in medicine, science, philosophy, astronomy and just about any other field of science you can think of were not introduced by Europeans, anywhere in the world FIRST, but in fact by ALL OTHER, more ancient cultures such as…well, let’s just say to begin with Africans. What history books have you been reading? Oh yes, that’s right, you don’t read you just repeat the words of other very ignorant people ike yourself. Whites however, have made very incredible discoveries, but don’t you dare take away the accomplishments of other people. You disgust me and millions of other people.
You really need to ask for a refund from whatever school of knowledge you attended…they have failed you miserably along with a host of other people in your life. Mainly your parents for starters. But hey, keep speaking your racist, untrue non-sense…you’re only helping to promote more tolerance and understanding! And your writing skills are worse than my eleven year old son….but then again, he comes from generations of people who take pride in understanding, learning and most of all realizing that we all bleed red, therefore it would only benefit himself/us to take notes from all cultures and learn a thing or two.
While people like you will eventually just wilt away and find a cave to hide in, a more true meaning of what it is like to be human is being born as we speak and the light will shine on mankind once again.
Thanks for your ignorance though from the bottom of my heart, I learn something about the country I live in every time you open your mouth. Please, feel free to respond to any discrepancies you feel are in my response, I would love to give you a lesson in world history. You make it so easy!
I could go on and on for years about history past, present and what will become of the future, but to the likes of you why waste my time on such ingrained and stubborn ignorance? Now…that is beneath me.

How often did the poisoning of blankets occur? Yes, I know about it. It hardly ever happened and you know it.
Indians also had wars and fought amongst themselves.
We ALL know that. There were fights between tribes, and when one tribe won – what was that called? Was it called the same things when whites won a war between natives and Indians? No, then other terms were used.
It is not true that all whites wanted to snuff out the Indians. I know that because I have read old stories regarding my own family and the Indians. I also know that there were white men who did respect some of the traditions.
You aren’t answering any of the concerns about women’s rights. Not important enough subject. Yes, we know. Let’s not talk about the rights of women – too touchy.
If the natives killed each other it was okay, but don’t let a white person kill a person of color.
The Japanese issue? I don’t hear anyone complaining about them killing whales. And I know Indians are complaining about other Indians killing whales.
But, oh, it is a tradition for Indians to kill whales – therefore, let them do it?
Hypocrisy.

Many thousands if not hundreds of thousands of white males married Indian women throughout our country’s history. The descendants of those marriages know that the relationships were not all bad.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

We have today an industry – the diversity industry – with many people making money and careers by “remembering” the worst. So, it is up to us citizens to volunteer to keep reminding people all was not so bad.
There are many of us who would not be here today, if whites were racist.
And approx. 38,000 Chinese babies would not have been adopted by Americans, if they were racist.

WHY CANT THESE LUNATICS LEAVE US ALONE. THERES ENOUGH HATE IN THE WORLD AS IT IS.

There are no lunatics – Sharpton is just “passionate”. Right.

Thar’s money in them thar politics! Just ask Ann and Rush. They are fleecing millions everyday with their hate and spin. Far more money to be made commenting on politics than actually being in the game as a candidate.

STOP being soooo taken in by the ‘daring, outspoken
right-wing’ —Coulter brand.
FACT IS —she’s maintained unbroken, STONE COLD
silence on the looming, indeed, gargantuan issue of our
4 decades of enabling, sellout and suck-up to history’s
–MOST– awesomely genocidal regime —ACROSS the
Pacific.
In this she’s reading from the same playbook as the most
corrupt of PC Hollywood franchise slummers.
ESP. galling as millions continue to suffer and die
FOR REAL on this —the once again ‘mysteriously
overlooked’ 60th Anniversary of the staggeringly relevant
–indeed, STILL unfolding —-KOREAN WAR…
-’OUTSPOKEN, DARING’ Coulter —-rrrright!
LOL

Ann is 100% correct, this article cuts and splices quotes here, and quotes there, to try to form a negative narrative about Ann, they failed. Who in God’s name would believe the NY Times, this is the same supposedly NEWS paper who refused to report that the President of the US was having a sexual affair with an intern IN the oval office! You believe them! LOL….

LOL Only 3 races? Get with the times. Human divisions have since multiplied and have become much more fluid. Amerindians are our own race. Or would you deny that a substantial part of European ancestry comes from a common ancestor shared by Europeans and Asians 15,000 years ago? Europeans are Central Asian in origin and Western Asian if one considers Europe and Asia as one single continent (which it is: Eurasia).
