Ann Coulter

Jbl1975:

{{merge from|Coulter on Hillary and McCain}}
[[Image:Coulter2006.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Coulter on the ''Tonight Show with Jay Leno''.]]
'''Ann Hart Coulter''' (b. 1961) is an [[attorney]], legal affairs correspondent, and social commentator.
She has written five bestselling books on U.S. politics. U.S. Federal Judge [[Richard Posner]] called her one of America's top public intellectuals. <ref>[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/publicintellect.htm] "Data for tables in Chapter 5 of Richard A. Posner, Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline" where Posner talks about the data he used for his book ''Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline''.</ref> <ref>[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/TABLE%20II.pdf] Table II, which is Posner's data for 607 public intellectuals. A PDF search of "Coulter" will show she is on Posner's list.</ref>

Coulter's primary focus is exposing the faults of [[liberalism]] (despite the fact that liberalism is the reason for virtually all of the freedoms she abuses every day), and she has enjoyed a popular following for her strong defense of family values against [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]].
She is well known for her forthright statements against those who wish to hurt the [[United States]].

Coulter is a high profile female [[conservative]], in line with [[Phyllis Schlafly]] and [[Condoleezza Rice]]. Her books and strong speaking style have endeared her to fans and infuriated opponents.

As a [[Christian]], Coulter attributes to the [[Judeo-Christian]] tradition the view that [[human being]]s are utterly and distinctly apart from other species.

Being an unabashedly conservative pundit, Coulter's social commentaries often draw the ire of [[liberal]]s. Her comments are frequently controversial and her critics often feign being offended.<ref>She called Democratic women "no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant [[hippie]] chick pie wagons". [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/05/AR2007030501610_2.html (Washington Post)]</ref><ref>At a CPAC conference, Coulter joked, "I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'f*****.'" [http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Coulter_Faggot_not_offensive_to_gay_0306.html]</ref>

Coulter made headlines during the 2008 Presidential primaries by endorsing [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] for President instead of [[John McCain]]. Coulter asserted that McCain is not conservative, but [[liberal]].

==Books==

Some of her books include
*''[[High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton]]'' (2002)
*''[[Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right]]'' (2003)
*''[[Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism]]'' (2004)
*''[[How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)]]'' (2005)
*''[[Godless: The Church of Liberalism]]'' (2007)
*''[[If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans]]'' (2007)

In ''Godless'', Coulter illustrates how liberals make a [[religion]] out of their beliefs, which they follow with the sort of intolerant zeal which they claim [[fundamentalist]]s do. "Liberalism is a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul [and] that we are moral beings in God's image." (pg. 3)

==Quotes==

* "Whether they are defending the [[Soviet Union]] or bleating for [[Saddam Hussein]], liberals are always against [[United States of America|America]]. They are either traitors or idiots ... " <Ref>''Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.''</ref>
* "My only regret with [[Timothy McVeigh]] is he did not go to the [[New York Times]] Building." She later clarified "Of course I regret [saying] it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-06-09-coulter-roemer_x.htm 9/11 Commissioner Criticizes Coulter's 'Hate-Filled Attack'] Associated Press story in USA Today. "'My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building,' The New York Observer quoted her as saying on Aug. 20, 2002.

I should have added, "after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters."'"</ref><ref>Hawkins, [http://rightwingnews.com/interviews/anncoulter.php An Interview With Ann Coulter], Right Wing News.</ref>

* "We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say."

* "Saddam's barbaric rape rooms, chemical attacks and torture — those, liberals could live with. But now they want us to send troops to [[Darfur]], a country from which no one anticipates terrorism anytime in the next millennium. If you're looking for a good definition of "no imminent threat," Darfur is it... These people can't even wrap up genocide. We've been hearing about this slaughter in Darfur forever — and they still haven't finished. The aggressors are moving like termites across that country. It's like genocide by committee. Who's running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA?...Darfur is not the threat... though a hostage-taking, [[Holocaust]]-denying lunatic who doesn't own a necktie but is within two years of having a nuclear bomb comes to mind. You can already hear [[Harry Reid]] and [[Nancy Pelosi]] saying, "If the Democrats were in charge, the use of military force wouldn't be necessary because we'd constructively engage them and appease their stated desire to kill us." <REF>This appeared on Coulter's web site on April 4th, 2007. http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=177</REF>

* "If you want a shorter rebuilding process, then we're going to have to wage less humane wars. The enemy — as well as innocent civilians — must be bombed into quivering terror. Otherwise, we displace aggression but don't destroy it. Americans are weaker for having seen that kind of carnage in [[World War II]]. Recall that the Worst Generation was raised by the Greatest Generation. That tells you how awful war is. The Greatest Generation was so exhausted by the war, it didn't have the spine to stand up to pot-smoking, draft-dodging hippies occupying administration buildings." <REF>This appeared on Coulter's web site on April 4th, 2007. http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=177</REF>

* "I think [women] should be armed but should not vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your [[Communists]] will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care." <ref> ''Politically Incorrect'', Feb. 26, 2001 </ref>

* "...a cruise missile is more important than Head Start." <ref>Nov. 2001 speech rebroadcast by C-Span in Jan. 2002</ref>

* "We need to execute people like John Walker [Lindh] in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors," Conservative Political Action Conference, January 2002. Coulter later clarified what she meant; "when I said we should "execute" John Walker Lindh, I mis-spoke. What I meant to say was 'We should burn John Walker Lindh alive and televise it on prime-time network TV'. My apologies for any misunderstanding that might have occurred.

Lewis Black

2007-11-30T21:00:09Z

Jbl1975:

'''Lewis Niles Black''' (born [[August 30]] [[1948]]) is a [[Grammy Award]]-winning [[United States|American]] [[stand-up comedy|stand-up comedian]], [[author]], [[playwright]], and [[actor]]. He is known for his comedy style which often simulates a mental breakdown or rant, ridiculing (mostly American) history, politics, the Republican party, the Democratic party, trends, and cultural phenomena. He makes regular appearances on [[Comedy Central]]'s ''[[The Daily Show]]'' delivering his “[[The Daily Show recurring elements#Back in Black with Lewis Black|Back in Black]]” commentary segment. He lives in [[Chapel Hill]], [[North Carolina]] and has an apartment in Manhattan.

===Early life===
Black was born in [[Silver Spring, Maryland]] to a middle-class [[Jewish]] family.<ref name="Black1">{{cite news | last =| first =| coauthors=| title =Lewis Black Is One Angry Comic| pages=| publisher =| date =[[2006-11-05]] | url =http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/05/sunday/main2153629.shtml| accessdate =2006-12-13 }}</ref> He was raised in [[Silver Spring, Maryland]], graduating from [[Springbrook High School]] in 1966. He was exposed to playwriting as an undergraduate at the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]] where he was also a brother of [[Pi Lambda Phi]] International [[Fraternities and sororities|fraternity]]. He earned a Masters in Fine Arts at the [[Yale School of Drama]] in 1977. Originally, his career was in the theater as a playwright. He served as the playwright in residence and associate artistic director of Steve Olsen's [[West Bank Cafe Downstairs Theatre Bar]] in [[Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan|Hell's Kitchen]] in [[New York City]], where he collaborated with composer and lyricist [[Rusty Magee]] on hundreds of one-act plays from [[1981]] to [[1989]]. Also with [[Rusty Magee]], Lewis wrote the musical ''The Czar Of Rock and Roll'', which premiered at Houston's [[Alley Theatre]] in 1990. Black's stand-up comedy began as an opening act for the plays as he was also the [[Master of Ceremonies|master of ceremonies]]. After a management change at the theater, Black left and began working as a comedian as well as finding bit parts in [[television]] and [[film]]s.

==Comedic style==
Lewis Black's style of comedy is that of a man who, in dealing with the absurdities of life and contemporary politics, is approaching his personal limits of sanity. [[Sarcasm]], [[hyperbole]], [[profanity]], shouting, and trademark angry finger-shaking bring emphasis to his topics of discussion. He once described his humor as "being on the ''[[RMS Titanic|Titanic]]'' every single day and being the only person who knows what is going to happen."

Black describes his political affiliation as such:
"I'm a [[socialist]], so that puts me totally outside any concept ... the Canadians get it. But seriously, most people don't get it. The idea of capping people's income just scares people. 'Oh, you're taking money from the rich.' Ooh, what a horrifying thing. These people really need $200 million".<ref>[http://www.gotorenotahoe.com/news/stories/html/2006/06/29/2432.php Black's commentary]</ref>

Black's rage-like comedy style often defuses potentially difficult situations. In [[Konocti, California]], when a drunken heckler shouted, "Three thousand dead children!" in the middle of a [[Dick Cheney]] rant, he spent ten minutes yelling angrily at her until she left. He said, "That's definitely on my list of top 10 weirdest heckles."

Black lists his comedic influences as [[George Carlin]], [[Lenny Bruce]], [[Richard Pryor]], [[Lily Tomlin]], [[Bob Newhart]], and [[Shelley Berman]].<ref>[http://www.avclub.com/content/node/49217/1 Black's influences]</ref>

==Recent career==
In 1998, he starred in his first comedy special on the series ''[[Comedy Central Presents]]''. He starred in two additional episodes of the series in 2000 and 2002. He starred in another special for the network in 2002 titled ''[[Taxed Beyond Belief]]''.

In 2000, Black and fellow comedian [[Jim Norton (comedian)|Jim Norton]] were arrested because of their involvement with "[[The Naked Teen Voyeur Bus]]", a specially designed bus with [[acrylic glass]] walls that contained numerous (18 and 19 year old) "teen girls". This bus was to ride around [[Manhattan]] while being broadcast on the "[[Opie and Anthony]]" radio show. Unfortunately, management at the radio station failed to inform the O&A show that the route the bus was planning on taking was also the route that President Clinton was taking that same day. Twenty-eight hours after the arrest, Black and Norton were released. Black appeared on ''[[The Daily Show]]'' the following night where he stated he was exercising his constitutional rights. He then joked that the location of this particular right was unclear, but that it was "between 'all men are created equal' and 'don't shit where you eat.'" Additionally, at a fundraising event for New York Attorney General candidate [[Mark J. Green|Mark Green]] on [[June 28]] [[2006]], Black talked about how he was unable to make a previous fundraising event for Green because the arrest occurred on the very night of the event.

Since 2003, Black has hosted the [[World Stupidity Awards]] ceremony at Montreal's [[Just for Laughs]] comedy festival for the three years the awards have been presented.

In 2004, he had an [[HBO]] stand-up special titled ''[[Black on Broadway]]''. That same year Black appeared in an episode of ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' as a [[shock jock]]. He also released his [[autobiography]], ''[[Nothing's Sacred]]'', in 2005. Since [[November 9]] [[2005]], Black has been making appearances in small segments on ''[[The Weather Channel (United States)|The Weather Channel]]''. In December 2005, he appeared in an animated holiday special ''[[The Happy Elf]]'', as the voice of the extremely tightly wound elf, Norbert.

Lewis Black played the character of the Deadly Duplicator in ''[[Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law]]'', on [[Adult Swim]]. He appeared in four episodes before the show was cancelled.

On [[April 21]] [[2006]] Lewis performed at the [[Warner Theatre (Washington, D.C.)|Warner Theatre]] in Washington, DC for an [[HBO]] special, ''[[Red, White, and Screwed]]''. It aired on [[June 10]] [[2006]], and a DVD was released [[October 3]] [[2006]]. When explaining his choice of venue, Black states that "some asshole" was paid to count the number of uses of the word "f--k" from his previous HBO special, ''Black On Broadway'', and that the original location wanted him to cut back on its use. Black was told the number was 42, when actually it was around 70.

In the film ''[[Accepted]]'', a film about high school graduates who create a college when they fail to get accepted into any, he plays Dean Ben Lewis of the school "South Harmon Institute of Technology" or S.H.I.T. and as the Dean, he talks about his views of the world. He also appears in the 2006 films ''[[Man of the Year (2006 film)|Man of the Year]]'' and ''[[Unaccompanied Minors]]''. Black hosted [[Comedy Central]]'s ''Last Laugh '06'', which aired on [[December 10]], [[2006]].

On [[February 11]], [[2007]], Lewis received a Grammy award for "Best Comedy Album" for his album ''[[The Carnegie Hall Performance]]''.<ref>[http://www.grammy.com/Grammy_Awards/49th_show/list.aspx#20 Grammy Awards]</ref>

On [[June 18]] [[2007]] he sat in with [[Southern Rock]]/[[Jam band]] [[Gov't Mule]] at the 6th annual [[Bonnaroo]] music festival where he had performed earlier that weekend, for what was to be a quick joke. A member of the audience threw a bottle at Lewis, which [[bottling (concert abuse)|struck him]]. Black was upset and he encouraged the audience to boo the heckler before leaving the stage in disgust, while shouting obscenities at the heckler.

On [[June 29]], [[2007]] Lewis gave a benefit show at [[Springbrook High School]], his alma mater, in the school's auditorium for 1,100 alumni, faculty, and students. Black performed in his usual style, stopping at points to remark how good it felt to use that language on that particular stage. At the end of the show he was given a Springbook football jersey and cursed at one teacher for giving him a B and causing him not to graduate first in his class.

Lewis Black did the voice over for an [[oxpecker]] named Ted in [[Cartoon Network]] series ''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'', appearing in "Hornbill and Ted's Bogus Journey". The character is portrayed in the same fashion as his comedy shows, though without the profanity. In addition, the bird's clothes, looks, and mannerisms match those of Black himself.

On [[October 5]], [[2007]] It was announced by [[Comedy Central]], that Lewis Black will be the host of his own television series in March of 2008. The show, titled ''[[Root Of All Evil]]'', will pit two people or pop-culture topics against each other as a panel of comedians argue which is more evil, two examples being "Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney" and "Internet Porn vs. YouTube". At the end of the argument Lewis Black will make the final decision as to which is more evil.<ref>[http://tv.ign.com/articles/825/825095p1.html IGN]</ref>

During a performance on [[November 16]], [[2007]], Mr. Black was almost struck by a malfunctioning projector screen at the [[State Theater (Cleveland)]] in [[Cleveland]], [[Ohio]], during a skit about Christmas Out Of Control. He was rushed by a member of the stage crew and pulled out of the way. The screen struck the stool on stage, approximately where Mr. Black had been standing. After a few moments, the screen was raised and back into place. After a few moments of banter with the stage hands, Mr. Black returned to his mike and joked about how God was angry with the skit. He then continued on with his performance, after moving the mike and stool back a foot. <ref>[http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/plaindealer/laughtrack/index.ssf?/base/friday/1195217706264560.xml&coll=2]</ref>

Black will also be hosting [[Comedy Central]]'s ''Last Laugh '07'', which will air on [[December 2]], [[2007]] along with [[Dave Attell]] and [[D.L. Hughley]].

It is unclear whether it will be new material or not, but according to a short clip at the end of [[Comedy Central]] Presents: Stand-Up Hot Picks, a [[clip show]] promotion of their [[Comedy Central Presents]] series made available as a free download from [[iTunes]], this January (which [[Comedy Central]] has billed as "Stand-Up Month") features specials by Lewis Black, along with [[Dane Cook]] and [[Chris Rock]].
