| '''Ann Hart Coulter''' (born in ], ], ], ]) is a best-selling ] ] ] and commentator with a reputation for strong criticism of social and political ]. Her comments and writing tend to be provocative and attract much ]. | |||
| Coulter is the author of four political commentary books, all of which have been on the ]: | |||
| *'']'' (1998) | |||
| *'']'' (2002) | |||
| *'']'' (2003) | |||
| *'']'' (2004) | |||
| Coulter is also a legal correspondent for the magazine ''].'' She writes a syndicated column for ] which is carried by or linked to by many influential conservative websites, including ]. | |||
| Coulter was the subject of a '']'' cover story in ] ]. | |||
| Coulter has made frequent guest appearances on national ] and syndicated ] programs. She has appeared on a large number of topical talk shows, including '']'', '']'', ''] with ]'', '']'', '']'', ''Real Time with ]'' and ''] with ]''. She is also a highly sought after public speaker. | |||
| ==Personal background== | |||
| Ann Coulter was born into a family that she has described as "upper middle class". She claims to have developed both her conservative opinions and her acerbic rhetorical style growing up in ]. She has two elder brothers. Her father, John V. Coulter, was a lawyer, known for his legal work in cases against ]; he later became a constable. Her mother, Nell M. Coulter, is a member of the New Canaan Republican Town Committee. (Cloud, 2005) | |||
| As an undergraduate in ]'s College of Arts and Sciences, Ann Coulter helped to launch a conservative newspaper, ''The ]'', with funding provided by the ]' ]. She graduated ] from Cornell in ], and went on to receive her ] from the ] Law School, where she was an editor of '']''. At Michigan, she founded a local chapter of the ]. She also received training at the ]. After practicing ] for four years, she became a congressional aide in ] in ], working as a staffer to Republican Senator ], who served on the ] before working for a public interest law firm. | |||
| In ], the fledgling television network ] hired Coulter as a legal correspondent and political pundit, which launched her media career. Though she was allowed to make many partisan and controversial comments as a panelist, she was fired in ] after an exchange with ], president of the ], in which she said, "No wonder you guys lost" (MSNBC's NewsChat, October 11, 1997). | |||
| Ann Coulter, when asked if she is a ] ], told interviewer David Bowman, "I don't think I've described myself that way, but only because I'm from Connecticut. We just won't call ourselves that." (2003) Though she seldom argues from a religious point of view, Coulter has commented on "leaders" the ] has labeled the "religious right", stating that ]'s support was overrated and that ] is ineffective and not conservative. (''Slander'', ch. 9) She commonly supports the positions of other Christian conservatives -- although she argues that such a term constitutes a liberal slur. | |||
| ==Books== | |||
| In 1998, Coulter published '']'' as the first of several ] books targeting the left. As its title suggests, the book made a case for the impeachment of President ]. Written before the impeachment, Coulter criticizes the GOP-led Congress for not impeaching Clinton, which they then proceeded to do shortly thereafter. | |||
| In 2002, Ann Coulter published '']'', a forthright critique of the alleged misconduct of liberals in American institutions. Like Bernard Goldberg's '']'', which came out the year before, ''Slander'' addressed ] in the United States, and proved to be a best-seller. | |||
| ''Slander'' claimed that many American journalists have ties to the ], which influences their reporting. Coulter argues that ] has faced a difficult and unfair battle for positive coverage in the media ever since he decided to run for president, and that a similar battle for fair coverage has been waged by practically every ] presidential candidate since ]. | |||
| Her next book, '']'', claimed that Democratic politicians and the media have severely undermined much of America's ] goals since the end of ], and that this is tantamount to conspiracy and treason. Summarizing recent history, she accused Democratic presidents, including ] and ], of having sometimes worked against American interests in the ], and charges some Democratic members of Congress with similarly undermining the efforts of Republican presidents. In the final chapters, she argues that a similar process is undermining the present ]. | |||
| ==Paula Jones controversy== | |||
| Ann Coulter had debuted as a figure on the public scene shortly before becoming an unpaid legal advisor working for the attorneys representing ] in her ] suit against ] ]. Coulter wrote a column about the Paula Jones case for the magazine ''Human Events''. Coulter's friend George Conway had been asked to assist Jones' attorneys, and shortly afterwards Coulter was also asked to help, and began writing legal briefs for the case. | |||
| Coulter later stated that she would come to mistrust the motives of Paula Jones' head lawyer, Joseph Cammaratta, who told Jones that she didn't have a case and should take a settlement. (Daley, 1999) From the onset of the lawsuit, Jones had sought an apology from Clinton at least as eagerly as she sought a settlement (Barak, 1998), and Coulter believed that Jones' case was solid, that she was telling the truth, that Clinton should be held publicly accountable for his misconduct, and that a settlement would give the impression that Jones was merely interested in extorting money from the President. (Daley, 1999) | |||
| According to Daley, a journalist on the ''Hartford Courant'': | |||
| :Ann Coulter played one particularly key role in keeping the Jones case alive. In ''Newsweek'' reporter ]'s new book ''Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story'', Coulter is unmasked as the one who leaked word of Clinton's "distinguishing characteristic" -- his reportedly bent penis that Jones said she could recognize and describe -- to the news media. Her hope was to foster mistrust between the Clinton and Jones camps and forestall a settlement... | |||
| :I thought if I leaked the distinguishing characteristic it would show bad faith in negotiations. Bob Bennett would think Jones had leaked it. Cammaratta would know he himself hadn't leaked it and would get mad at Bennett. It might stall negotiations enough for me to get through to Susan Carpenter-McMillan to tell her that I thought settling would hurt Paula, that this would ruin her reputation, and that there were other lawyers working for her. Then 36 hours later, she returned my phone call. | |||
| :"I just wanted to help Paula. I really think Paula Jones is a hero. I don't think I could have taken the abuse she came under. She's this poor little country girl and she has the most powerful man she's ever met hitting on her sexually, then denying it and smearing her as president. And she never did anything tacky. It's not like she was going on TV or trying to make a buck out of it." (1999) | |||
| According to the Coulter Watch website, Coulter also told Isikoff, "We were terrified that Jones would settle. It was contrary to our purpose of bringing down the president" ("Oh, Paula", 2002, par. 5, 2). | |||
| When the case did get to court, after Jones had broken with Coulter and the rest of her original legal team, it was summarily dismissed because the judge found that Jones could not show that she had actually suffered any damages, even if her allegations proved true. Jones did eventually gain a settlement from Clinton in exchange for not appealing the decision, although at $850,000 it was only one-third of the amount she had been asking for and all but $151,000 went to pay her now-considerable legal expenses. However, the Jones case eventually led to the ] and to the movement lobbying for Clinton's ], as Coulter had wished. Coulter made appearances on ] (a role which began before her legal involvement with Jones) in which she commented on the case, and went on to write a critical exposé of Clinton, boasting on '']'' that she "got a bestseller out of it" (''High Crimes and Misdemeanors'', which included a chapter on the lawsuit) and telling '']'' in August 1999, "The reason we were doing it for Paula – well, was for Paula. She had been defamed and I think we can say we got her reputation back." ("Oh, Paula", 2002, par. 8) | |||
| Jones (who had divorced her husband during the case, purchased a house after the settlement, and incurred a large tax bill) then posed nude for ], stating that she wished to use the money to pay the tax and fund her two grade-school-aged children's college education. Coulter publicly denounced her as "trailer-park trash", saying, "I totally believed she was the good Christian girl she made herself out to be.... ow it turns out she's a fraud, at least to the extent of pretending to be an honorable and moral person" ("Oh, Paula", 2002, par. 12). Jones defended herself in an interview with ] in October 2000, saying, "I haven't been offered a book deal like everybody else in this huge thing has done. Ann Coulter's done books. I haven't seen her call me up and say: 'Paula, would you like for me to help you write a book, a really nice, decent book?' I haven't had any help from anybody whatsoever." ("Oh, Paula", 2002, par. 14) | |||
| ==Ann Coulter's communication style== | |||
| Coulter gained prominence in the field of ] commentators with her brand of outspoken criticism of many ] and ] figures and policies over the past half-century. She quickly established a reputation as a ] and colorful speaker, and indeed has relished this role (Coulter, August 2002). As she told '']'' in ], "I am a ]. I am perfectly frank about that. I like to stir up the pot. I don't pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do." | |||
| Ann Coulter has said she likes to read anything written by humorist ] (Coulter, January 2004), and she often employs comic techniques similar in style to his writings. On the other hand, columnist and blogger ] has created a parody ] Award for writing which he considers to be ]-ridden, insulting, and in concordance with the reader's beliefs. Sullivan has declared that "Ann Coulter cannot be considered" for the award on the grounds that "No one else would stand a chance." | |||
| Ann Coulter is an especially frequent guest on the ]. Her appearances on the ] program often make for interesting viewing, because she is one of the few, if not the only, regular guests that seems to cow the notoriously aggressive O'Reilly. | |||
| ==Relations with media outlets== | |||
| When the editors of the '']'', the website of a well-known conservative magazine that carried Coulter's syndicated column and to which she was a contributing editor, said they would like to discuss making changes to a piece written in 2001 directly after the ] in which her friend ] had been killed (Coulter, July 2002, "Donahue"), Coulter went on the national television show '']'' and accused them of ], claiming her pay was only five dollars per article. '']'' then dropped her column and terminated her editorship (Goldberg, 2001). See ] for part of the piece in question. | |||
| Ann Coulter was contracted by '']'' to cover the ], but was replaced by ] after a "disagreement over editing" (Memmot, 2004). The article began "Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston", and referred to an indefinite number of female attendees as "corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons". The newspaper did not print the article, but Coulter published it on her website. (Coulter, ] ]) | |||
| ==Criticism== | |||
| Critics of Coulter frequently accuse her of ] and ]s, and argue that she demonstrates a strong ] bias in her comments and writing, and that she generally misrepresents sources and facts to support her case. | |||
| One way in which supporters counter the charge of misrepresentation is by pointing out that ''Slander'' contains 780 endnotes. In fact, the ''New York Times'' review of ''Slander'' praised Coulter's extensive citations, stating "A great deal of research supports Ms. Coulter’s wisecracks." As a result, some of these footnotes have come under close scrutiny by various websites . | |||
| Critics also regularly attack Coulter for what they consider to be her unreliability in live interviews, alleging in particular that she frequently misstates facts rather than admitting error or unfamiliarity with the topic being discussed. Such standard charges are dismissed by Coulter and her supporters. | |||
| ===Al Franken=== | |||
| In '']'', ] argues that Coulter deliberately fabricates material and misrepresents the sources she cites. Two chapters of Franken's book are devoted to attacking Coulter and her book ''Slander''. | |||
| Amongst other assertions, Franken claims that Coulter treats any comments found in '']'' as reflecting the official opinion of the newspaper. He claims that if a book review in the ''Times'' asks people on both sides of an issue to give their opinions, Coulter will attribute any quotation she finds offensive as the editorial position of the newspaper. | |||
| Coulter counters by arguing that Franken's chapters contain false accusations, and that liberal newspapers are prone to make errors of omission that can be much more serious. (Coulter, 2003) | |||
| In his book, Franken mentions a comment in ''Slander'' which states "Bush had won any count" of the ] ] recount, and cites a '']'' article with the contrary headline, "Study Finds Gore Might Have Won Statewide Tally of All Uncounted Ballots". Although it could be argued that this is a misrepresentation, it could also be argued that by "any count", Coulter meant any count that had been legally pursued by the Democrats rather than hypothetical cases (See ]). | |||
| ===Criticism of ''Treason''=== | |||
| '']'', which contains many bold accusations against all ], brought her under fire, even from many conservatives, such as ]. Many felt her claim that Democrats such as Presidents ] and ] had worked against America's war on ] was unfounded. ''Treason'''s defense of ] also came under criticism from both liberals and conservatives, who argued that Coulter had simply failed to accurately research the facts in her attempt to rehabilitate the controversial senator. In an interview with David Bowman, Coulter said that Joe McCarthy is the deceased person she admires the most. Coulter argues in ''Treason'' that McCarthy was simply misunderstood and unappreciated and that the ] have vindicated him, proving there indeed were Soviet spies in the ]. | |||
| ===Racism=== | |||
| Coulter has also drawn criticism for frequently making what many perceive to be racist remarks, particularly against people of Middle Eastern descent. For instance, following the 9/11 attacks she argued that "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity". A minor controversy ensued after Coulter denounced ], calling her an "old Arab". In other instances, she has referred to the Middle East as a "swamp" and advocated racial profiling. | |||
| ==="Democrats are more wealthy than Republicans"=== | |||
| In '']'', Ann Coulter expounds the view that liberals are out of touch with America, and "have absolutely no contact with the society they decry from their ] redoubts." | |||
| In an ] ] '']'' article, she argued that the media is biased to the left because Republicans don't have the wealth to start media outlets, while Democrats do. That Republicans are rich, she said, "is one of the stunning lies that Democrats have been able to palm off... Liberals really are the idle rich." | |||
| Her critics, including ], the author of '']'', accuse Coulter of double standards, arguing that she is a highly-educated, affluent woman with a high-profile media presence who does not similarly accuse herself, or other privileged Republicans, of being out of touch. | |||
| ===Canada and the Vietnam War=== | |||
| In ] ], Coulter gave an interview to ]'s ''The Fifth Estate'' () in which she argued that ]'s non-participation in the ] demonstrated that Canada's "loyal friendship" with the ] was weaker than in the past. She attempted to contrast the situation with the ], stating: | |||
| :''"Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?"'' | |||
| The interviewer ] countered, "No, actually, Canada didn't send troops to Vietnam." Coulter and McKeown then politely contradicted each other repeatedly before Coulter finally concluded, "Well, I'll get back to you on that." | |||
| Later in the show, McKeown stated that Coulter never did get back in touch with ''The Fifth Estate'', and reiterated the filmmakers' position that Canada had not sent troops to Vietnam. | |||
| In a subsequent interview on ], Coulter admitted that she had erred, but also stated that thousands of Canadian-born Americans had gone to battle: | |||
| :''"Yes, 10,000 Canadian troops, at least. The Canadian Government didn't send troops they came and fought with the Americans. So I was wrong. It turns out there were 10,000 Americans who happened to be born in Canada."'' | |||
| Later in the interview, when asked about the taping of the CBC show, she added: | |||
| :''"I talked to him ] ] for three hours and the topic was not Canada's war history. It was an incidental point that he challenged me on and I didn't believe him because I had read about Canadian troops in Vietnam. I was right. People keep saying 'well, he didn't tell you that they - 10,000 troops - ran across to sign up with the Americans' because I don't think he knew."'' ] | |||
| More recently, however, a ''Time Magazine'' article on Coulter dated April 25, 2005, stated "Canada did send noncombat troops to Indochina in the 1950s and again to Vietnam in 1972." Media watchdog ] disputes this assertion, however, saying that writer ] was "making quite a stretch" to prove that Coulter wasn't inaccurate. They explain: "Canada was officially neutral during the Vietnam War, so if any noncombat troops were sent they would not have been sent to support U.S. forces there." FAIR also notes that the alleged troops were not mentioned "in a detailed 1975 U.S. Army history, Allied Participation in Vietnam." Canada sent officials to Vietnam in 1954 and 1973 as observers with the ]. | |||
| Further detail about Canada's involvement in the Vietnam war can be found in the CBC's "Canada's Secret War: Vietnam." | |||

| ==Quotations== | |||
| The following quotes are examples of Ann Coulter's flamboyant and often inflammatory ] style, for which she is well-known. They cover a wide variety of topics, but each demonstrates Coulter's unwillingness to compromise her strong views for political correctness or media palatability. Many view these quotes as examples of a tongue-in-cheek use of ] or ], while others take them more seriously. Coulter herself once stated, "Liberals love to pretend they don't understand hyperbole." However, she has also stated, "I believe everything I say." | |||
| ===On the 9/11 attacks=== | |||
| *Two days after the ], her syndicated column included discussion of her close friend ], who was killed on ] when terrorists crashed it into the ]. She closed by saying: ''"We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now.'' | |||
| :''"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only ] and his top officers. We ] German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."'' - From her syndicated column ], ] | |||
| *A week later, she detailed a five-point plan guided by an ''"all-new standard for airline safety procedures:...procedures that make the airplane safer"'' of which point 3 proposed requiring ''"passports to fly domestically"''. ''"Passports can be forged"'', she continued, ''"but they can also be checked with the home country in case of any suspicious-looking swarthy males"''. Point 4 observed, ''"All 19 hijackers in last week's attack appear to have been aliens.... Congress could pass a law tomorrow requiring that all aliens from Arabic countries leave."'' From her syndicated column, September 20, 2001 | |||
| ===On the environment=== | |||
| *''"The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view."'' - from her column ] ] | |||
| ===On law and order=== | |||
| *''"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a ] might work particularly well with are the ]s, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."'' - MSNBC ], ]. | |||
| *''"I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need any more." ''Asked how far back in time would she go to repeal laws, she replied,'' "Well, before the ]....] was issued] That would be a good start."'' - ] ], ]. | |||
| *''"If those kids had been carrying guns they would have gunned down this one gunman."'' The gunman was a teenager who had opened fire on a prayer meeting, killing three other teens. She later added, ''"Don't pray. Learn to use guns."'' - Politically Incorrect, ], ]. | |||

| *''"Women like ] and Patricia Duff are basically ] from the waist down. Let's just call it for what it is. They're whores."'' - ] ], ] | |||
| *''"I think should be armed but should not vote ... women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it ... it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."'' - Politically Incorrect, ], ]. | |||
| *''"It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since ] - except ] in ] - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted."'' - ], ]. | |||

Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."'' - ], ]. | |||
| * ''"Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam, post 9/11. Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do.
