Ann Coulter on Stossel battles room full of libertarian students (updated w full show vid)

[Brian4Liberty]

The segment right before Coulter came on was about the Police State, the militarization of the Police, and SWAT teams doing no knock raids in the middle of the night, shooting dogs, and violating the Bill of Rights. That is all a result of the war on drugs. It has nothing to do with catering to anybody on the left, or a desire to use drugs. It's about personal liberty, the Bill of Rights and the Police State.

And that's before we talk about the wasted money spent on this nonsense, incarcerating drug users, instigating drug cartel wars, and creating an incentive for gangsters to shoot up the streets.

Ending the war on drugs is a libertarian issue, a fiscal conservative issue, and a law and order issue. Coulter is an idiot.

Uh... Legalizing pot is not a big issue?

That's essentially saying that the War on Drugs is a non-issue.

That's essentially saying the reason domestic police have been militarized, widespread use of No Knock Raids, and civil asset forfeiture is a non-issue. That's essentially saying the reason that the US has the highest prison population on the planet is a non-issue. That's like saying people who need cannabis for medical reasons is a non-issue. That's like saying the gang violence it perpetuates is a non-issue. That's like saying unconstitutional prohibition is a non-issue.

Marijuana prohibition (among all other illegal drugs, but pot especially) is a significant problem that culminates in the materialization of a domestic police state and significant amounts of violence and death not only in our own country, but in other countries as well with the USG exerting it's influence to affect drug policies across the globe.

It's a big issue and that's why there's a movement with millions of people who understand that and are attempting to change it.

And how much is being spent on prisons, DEA and the like...

Oh no but i'm Mrs. Conservative, except when it comes to certain substances. Then I support massive Federal spending, grants and prosecutions .

[Bastiat's The Law]

She calls the drug war petty, yet rails against the state destroying families?? Beyond welfare, what has destroyed the family more so than the war on drugs?

The overseas wars have done a pretty damn good job of that too, not just with the soldiers who don't return but also with the ones who return with scars, some visible, some invisible.

Don't forget the bored military wives who get preggers while hubby is overseas fighting for her freedoms.

It appears to be missing some part of it, so if anyone has the full vid, well, you know what to do...

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

All those media stations with their party alliance paid puppets and Ann Coulter is no different, it's all for profit. She's obnoxious on top of being a huge hypocrite. But there's a reason, it's called making money and fame, plus peddling her books too. All by creating controversy.

There should be an alert the next time she is on a call-in show like, C-SPAN, then, everyone call, on all phone lines, email, FB, Twitter, and rip her phony big game to pieces.

REMEMBER: Corporate media is the 4th branch of the US government... basically the Depart of Propaganda. Don't ever sympathize to their poison/potion dialect, their business is to profit from sensationalism of propaganda, while serving the US government in partnership covertly, it's creating the product out of the people; WARS, TERRORISM, TERRORISTS, CRISIS, FEAR, SECURITY, PARTISANSHIP, DISINFORMATION, MISINFORMATION.

Never forget the time at the Pentagon, when corporate media were caught on a hot C-SPAN microphone talking... "See this room, half of us laid-off if Ron Paul becomes president" Media ratings would plummet to hell if there was peace in this country and especially the world. How does media spin PEACE? There's NO MONEY for the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) in peace. Ann Coulter would be out of a job and out of overpaid partisan appearances. Only thing I do agree upon with Bill Maher, They are CONMEN... Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Greta, the Morning clowns, the afternoon puppets, the evening marionettes, Sunday morning Fascists, and Mr. Coulter too. All these CONMEN are paid $10Ks, $100Ks, Millions to CON(lie & push the agenda) you. Ever look at Hannity's speaking demands? 6 security guards, travel by private jet and limousines. Completely isolated from the public mundanes.

THE CON of Corporate Media and their Pundits are to play the indoctrinated viewers like a Broadway play... all of them and Ann Coulter are very good actors.

 

[A Son of Liberty]

END ALL WARS.

Get it fuckin straight Ann you establishment robot.

Quit suckin' up to teh libtardz

 

[tod evans]

So much truth!

[A Son of Liberty]

She's kind of correct in her criticism. I always see some libertarians trying to curry favor with libtards over superficial nonsense. It's flat out bizarre. "No I'm not like THEM. I want to legalize pot and let you kill your children!!!" If it wasn't so tragic, it would be funny.

Yeah, what's tragic is that quote-unquote conservatives like Ann think that the libertarian position on drug legalization is superficial nonsense.

And the one issue besides IP on which there is almost no consensus amongst libertarians is abortion.

Conversely, what actually IS tragic is the way so many quote-unquote paleo-cons try to curry favor with the establishment GOP by playing footsies under the table with the warfare state.

If Ann actually had to debate a libertarian, point-by-point, in a proper format, she would be humiliated. Of course, that goes with most of these loudmouth media personalities.

 

[compromise]

I don't know why people take Coulter seriously. She is unnecessarily provocative in order to attract attention, be it about gays, muslims, libertarians, blacks, Jews, whoever, she's just saying it because she knows it will turn heads. She probably doesn't even believe half the shit she says, and her opinions change all the time. I don't believe she actually has any sinister agenda, she's just out to make a quick buck.

On occasion she has something productive to say, but it's almost always the opposite of her host's point of view and she knows that.

Her public positions on the wars and extra-judicial killings are sinister. People hear what she has to say, and consider her an authority. She has influence on the views of the voting public.

Yeah, like 3-5% of the voting public who are far-right nuts. Not really much.

[seyferjm]

I was in the audience, lets just say there was way more booing than what was heard on the actual show last night. Right after she compared divorce to returning an appliance, some guy yelled out "THEY"RE HUMAN BEINGS!!1111"

 

[cajuncocoa]

Let's see....so far this week RPF has had defenders of Glenn Beck, Phyllis Schlafly, and now Ann Coulter.

 

[compromise]

Neocons are hardly the 'far-right'.

Coulter is hardly a neocon.

When in the company of neocons, she will oppose them:

[fisharmor]

Coulter is hardly a neocon.

What is it in this segment that she said which is not straight neocon?

 

[jmdrake]

Coulter has gigantic balls. That much is true.

And an Adam's apple to go with them.
