ANN COULTER: How liberals play the victim -- while oppressing others
Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America
by Ann Coulter
Liberals love to play the victim, says Ann Coulter –
particularly when they are oppressing others. "That is the
essence of liberals," writes Coulter in her new bestseller,
Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America.
"They viciously attack everyone else, while wailing that
they are the victims."
(continued from above)
But as Coulter shows, this is just another version of
the Big Lie. In Guilty, she brilliantly explodes the myth
of liberal victimization, and proves that when it comes to
bullying, no one outdoes the Left. Citing case after case --
ranging from the hilariously absurd to the shockingly
vicious -- she shows again and again that the ones who
claim victim status most loudly and insistently are
invariably the oppressors.
Packed with her inimitable barbed wit and fearless
truth-telling, Ann Coulter's Guilty is an urgently needed
reality check on a Left gone wild.
Ann Coulter's blazing insights -- a sampling:
The biggest myth of all "is the myth that there is no
liberal media, functioning as a protection racket for
liberal politicians from JFK to B. Hussein Obama."
How we got Obama: "In the Senate race that gave him a
national platform, first his Democratic party opponent
and then his Republican opponent were dispatched by the
media's digging up dubious claims from sealed divorce
records. Obama's Republican opponent was replaced by Alan
Keyes, a man of great integrity with zero aptitude as a
political candidate, and -- surprise! -- Obama won. This
was a feat roughly equivalent to my beating Elizabeth
Taylor in the hundred-yard-dash, then demanding that
everyone call me 'world's fastest human.' "
Sarah Palin: "The head of the South Carolina Democratic
Party, Carol Fowler, said Palin's "primary qualification
seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion." By
contrast, Democrats believe that having had an abortion
is the primary qualification for higher office."
Bravery: "Liberals are brave. I know that because they're
always telling me how brave they are. Why, five nights a
week, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann courageously books guests
who completely agree with him! It doesn't get much braver
than that."
The Republican Attack Machine: "Throughout the Thirty-
Years'-War Democratic primary campaign, circa 2007-2008,
all Democratic arguments were pitched in terms of the
nonexistent, but still very frightening, Republican
Attack Machine. . .Really, I have no problem with Obama
being a Muslim -- but wait until Republicans get ahold of
it!. . .Republicans could only watch in perplexity,
thinking, Wait a minute! We didn't say anything!
John Edwards and hypocrisy: "In 2008, he based his entire
presidential campaign on his selfless dedication to a
cancer-stricken wife. Meanwhile, in order to pass the
time between giving $50,000 speeches on poverty, Edwards
was cheating on the cancer-stricken wife. No practicing
journalist with the establishment media would be able to
pinpoint the hypocrisy in that."
Assassins: "Every presidential assassin in the history of
the nation has been a liberal -- or has had no politics at
all. None were right-wingers."
Protecting a liberal myth: "For revealing the truth about
Kennedy long after the fact in his 1997 book The Dark
Side of Camelot, Seymour Hersh, a liberal Democrat, was
venomously attacked in the media. The national press
corps was in a blind rage that anyone would print the
truth about the only man born without original sin until
Barack Obama."
Kennedy and Nixon: "If reporters like the president's
politics, they will use their 'judgment' to allow the
president to put the entire country at risk with his
whoremongering, amphetamine addiction, arrogance,
naivete, and on-the-job training as he manages a nuclear
arms race with a godless empire. But if the media doesn't
like the president's politics, they will use their
'judgment' to call him a crook, even as he ends the
Vietnam War, saves Israel from total destruction in the
Yom Kippur War, and throws the Soviet empire back on its
haunches."
What the polls say: "No matter what the facts, it's
always the same story of the Left's emerging triumph, the
swelling chorus of humanity coalescing in a mighty army
to support Mondale, Obama, global warming, gun control,
abortion rights, the killing of Terri Schiavo, and
campaign finance reform."
History: "This is how liberals rewrite history: No matter
how many times we correct them, they just keep reprinting
provable lies."
