Ann Coulter to Hannity: Americans Are Afraid ‘They’ll Be Accused of Racism’ if They Speak Out Against Obama

Ann Coulter: Americans Afraid Theyll Be Accused of Racism if Speak Out Against Obama

Photo Credit: FOX News

Author and commentator Ann Coulter, known for her provocative statements, appeared on FOX News’ “Hannity” on Monday evening. During her pre-election analysis, she made a controversial claim — that Americans are heritant to speak out against President Barack Obama, because they are afraid of being viewed as “racist.”

Coulter derided Obama, telling Hannity that the president has had a negative impact on the economy during his first term and that he has spent the bulk of his time campaigning. The commentator took aim at the stimulus and Obamacare, among other related policies. As for Romney, she issued much more favorable statements.

“The more people see of Mitt Romney, the more they like him,” she said.

However, when it came to her assessment of Romney’s ability to win the states, the conversation turned to race. Mediaite has a recap of the dialogue between Coulter and Hannity:

“You got the Bradley effect, when you have a white man running against a black man,” Coulter started, with Hannity interjecting to ask, “You really believe that?”

“More now than ever before,” Coulter replied. “Americans are afraid to say they are voting against Obama because they’ll be accused of racism. That is the point by the entire NFM [Non-Fox Media].”

“The polls over-predict a victory for a black candidate,” she asserted.

Sorry, Ann, but we no longer care whether they think we are racists or not because they have demonstrated they don’t know the meaning of the word. Does anyone really care what the ignorant & uninformed think of them? We can’t be concerned over what morons think of anything because they just don’t get it. If I wasted any time wondering what the idiots of the world think, I wouldn’t get anything accomplished. The sad thing is they confuse the word racist with bigot & they point the finger at the wrong person when they should be addressing their own mirrors. I am not the one obsessed with the color of skin. I am not the one who would vote for a foreigner over an American. I know the difference between right & wrong & I recognize a fraud when I see one. I know where I stand & I understand what it means to be a US citizen. I am not the one with the problem. If they don’t like it here, they should leave.

  Perhaps, but fortunately more real and thinking Americans would be more concerned about being accused of thinking or acting like Ann Coulter. It is amazing how she reacts to being progressively irrelevant.

  @georgette interesting observation but you missed the issue with respect to merik59. He is what is referred to as the Belief Entitled. That is someone who believes something therefor it is correct and legitimate. The facts, scientific evidence and rational analysis are irrelevant. Fox News, GB and Rush feed the Belief Entitled selective and biased information which support their beliefs. They belong to the group who “believes” the world is only 10,000 old and man is not doing any damage to the environment, etc., etc. Ann Coulter like the others listed above along with Sister Sarah Palin realized they could make a ton of money feeding the Belief Entitled with rationals for their beliefs. Belief Entitled is a commonly malady of the truly arrogant. The arrogant who would rather quote an irrelevant fox news hack like ann coulter than actually read, think and embrace rational thought.

  Ann is right. The “chosen people” have indoctrinated whites so much that they are a bunch of sheep. It starts out in communist teacher’s unions brainwashing kids about the evils of whitey. Now it’s to the point that if you’re not down with communism, then you’re a racist. That’s the result of years of brainwashing and indoctrination by people in power.

  Over the past four years the race card has been used so often that if/when I am called a racist merely for disagreeing with Obama or the Obamaphiles, I interpret it to mean exactly that–I disagree with the powers that be.

not really, if you hit him on the issues like legislation and what actions have happened and actual economic facts you can refer people to, even the most passionate with a bit of logic for Obama will not say your racist. but of course ignorant voters can’t really discuss the issues very well or known very little about them except what they hear on the news.

That is absolutely true. I gave it a second thought before I put my Romeny sticker on my car, so I got an Obama ’08 sticker and put it on and plastered my Romney sticker over part of it.

  After commander in chief the primary duty of the President is to run the Executive branch: the government bureaucracy.
  
  President Obama has received little cooperation. His authority is constantly questioned.
  
  A valid reason not to vote for President Obama is America’s racial problems. There are still too many Americans that will not follow the directives of a black man.
  
  Racism is a reason the President has not been very effective.

  BARY_METH_ELIZABETH, Oh yeah, and the Dem-wits in Congress just rolled over and gave Bush everything that he wanted, right? I do recall hearing the threats coming from both Pelosi, and Reid. But, I have enough sense to expect that because we have two major parties in this country. And, its just going to happen from time to time. Besides, grid lock can be a good thing. When they can’t get anything done, they are not screwing us.

I voted this morning for Romney. Not because he is a white man, but because Obama doesn’t have this country’s best interest at heart. Does that make me a racists? I don’t think so, but, if so, then so be it. No one is going to tell me who I’m going to vote for. I choose that for myself. Isn’t that what voting is all about? Choosing the person an individual American feels has Americas best interest at heart?

I voted more ‘against’ 0bama early this morning than ‘for’ Romney. I now know the damage that this present administration has done to this country and am willing to give Romney the benefit of the doubt. But, if any of you trolls just need to call me a racist, so be it. Its just that you and I will both know that you are a liar, or that pitifully self deluding.

Sorry Anne, can’t agree on that one. I could care less if people view me as racist because I voted for the white guy. That’s their problem, not mine. I’d vote for a green candidate if I thought it would return this country to the principles and intention for which it was founded. Career politicians have to go, their the bane of the constitution.

This crap is minor stuff. It’s time to start talking about charging politicians with crimes. How about all these fake government budgets and unpayable debts and deficits. In California, they “balance budgets” like the mafia would do, it’s all bull*hit, they say “yeah, it’s balanced now, so shut up and go away”; meanwhile it’s billions upside down. The press is part of the politico-mafia too, they’re pitiful. “There’s no story here, what are you talking about?”, and they just repeat the lies of the politico-mafia in their stories. They don’t do any original real investigative reporting anymore. Let’s start CHARGING THESE CRIMINALS WITH CRIMES!!!!!

  Me either. That moniker has been so overused by the left, you could almost wear it as a badge of honor… for standing up for what you believe in no matter what race or religion you are. I especially feel for the black republicans who are derided and called sell-outs, Uncle Toms… it’s dispicable.

  Yup. Despicable indeed. The majority of this country was past the race issue until 0bama. We grew up cheering for sports celebrities and teams and could have cleared less what color the players were. We supported actors and musicians and politicians of all races. The very fact that 0bama is in office proved how past race this country was. Well done, Libs. If I’m racist for hating liberals, well then….I guess I’m racist.
