Ann Coulter's Lies

By Ed Brayton

Would it surprise you to find out that Ann Coulter includes a bushel of lies in her new book? I would certainly hope not. Media Matters documents a whole bunch of them. And you have to listen to Sean Hannity's fawning, sycophantic interview with Coulter where her fake persecution complex is in full cry, as she claims that "liberals are always pretending that they're being victimized, oppressed by right wingers and fascists and frat boys with rich daddies" - while simultaneously pretending to be victimized by the media that ignores her AND simultaneously promoting her appearance on the CBS morning show the next day. Irony meters just aren't strong enough to withstand the blow of a woman who calls presidential candidates "faggots" and then calls the media an "attack machine" that "smears" people.
