'''Al Franken'''  is a radical [[liberal]] comedian and former radio host for the [[Air America]] network. Franken is best remembered as a writer and performer on the television program ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' and the star and screenwriter of the motion picture ''[[Stuart Saves His Family]].'' He announced that he would run for a [[Senate]] seat in [[Minnesota]] in 2008 as a [[Democrat]]. What some people perceive as Franken's rudeness, vulgarity, and his tendency to make outrageously offensive comments have led to questions about whether or not he will alienate himself from the important undecided swing voters&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.startribune.com/587/story/1083904.html Star Tribune retrieved 6 April, 2007&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;

'''George Walker Bush''' (born New Haven, [[Connecticut]] 1946) was the Governor of [[Texas]] (1996-2001) and has served as the 43rd [[President of the United States of America]] since 2001. Campaigning on the notion that the United States should not be in the business of nation-building,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/debates/transcripts/u221003.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; he won the office by a narrow margin in the decisive State of [[Florida]]. Legal challenges to the certified vote count went all the way to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in 2000. Democratic contender [[Al Gore]] initially conceded defeat on the night of the election, but then contested the outcome for weeks until the Supreme Court case [[Bush v. Gore]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After stealing the 2000 election, in 2004 Bush won reelection, helped in part by a 300,000 vote victory (5%) in the State of Florida, where the outcome had been so close in 2000 &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://election.dos.state.fl.us/elections/resultsarchive/SummaryRpt.asp?ElectionDate=11/2/2004&amp;amp;Race=PRE&amp;amp;DATAMODE= Florida Election Records], ''[[Florida Dept. of State]]''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. Democratic candidate [[John Kerry]] quickly conceded defeat the day after the election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Foreign policy ==&lt;br /&gt;
George W. Bush has spent most of his Presidency focusing on foreign policy issues, namely the war on terror in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the USA. In his [[State of the Union]] address on January 29, 2002, he asserted that an &amp;quot;[[axis of evil]]&amp;quot; consisting of [[North Korea]], [[Iran]], and [[Iraq]] was &amp;quot;arming to threaten the peace of the world&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;pose[d] a grave and growing danger&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/01/20020129-11.html Presidential State of the Union Address] [[January 29]] [[2002]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Since then, the Bush administration has pursued military action in [[Afghanistan]] and, more controversially, in [[Iraq]], with the stated aims of eliminating threats to United States security and combating [[terrorism]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Afghanistan===&lt;br /&gt;
On October 7, 2001, US and [[Australia]]n forces were deployed in [[Afghanistan]], then governed by the [[Taliban]], an extremist [[Islamic]] government. They initiated a [[bombing]] campaign which led to the Taliban losing control of [[Kabul]], Afghanistan's capital city, on November 13. By December 2001, an &amp;quot;Afghan Interim Authority&amp;quot; had been installed, led by current Afghan President [[Hamid Karzai]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.cdi.org/terrorism/isaf.cfm Fact Sheet], Center for Defense Information, 2002-02-14&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The stated aims of military action in Afghanistan were to topple the Taliban and to eliminate or capture key leaders of the terrorist group [[al-Qaeda]], as well as destroying all al-Qaeda bases and activities in Afghanistan. However, al-Qaeda leader [[Osama bin Laden]] escaped a battle in December 2001 in [[Tora Bora]] and has not yet been successfully captured.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A62618-2002Apr16 U.S. Concludes bin Laden Escaped at Tora Bora Fight], The Washington Post, 2002-04-17&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the US troops' early success in removing them from power, the Taliban was regrouping and amassing funds and recruits by 2003.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0508/p01s02-wosc.html?related Taliban Appears to be Regrouped and Well-Funded], Christian Science Monitor, 2003-05-08&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In 2006, offensives against the Taliban such as [[Operation Mountain Thrust]] attained limited success.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.defenselink.mil/news/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=285 World Cannot Give Up On Afghanistan, Coalition Officials Say], US Department of Defense, 2006-02-28&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Taliban remain a major threat to security in Afghanistan today, with US and allied troops working alongside the Afghan government of [[Hamid Karzai]] to combat the Taliban.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Iraq===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Egyptian President [[Hosni Mubarek]] and Libyan [[Socialist]] General Secretary [[Muammar Gaddafi]] in negotiations with [[Saddam Hussein]] relayed a message through Italian Prime Minister [[Silvio Berlusconi]] and Spanish President [[Jose Maria Aznar]] to UK Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]] and President Bush] that Saddam would be willing to avoid removal by force and voluntarily go into exile, provided Saddam was allowed to take $1 billion dollars and &amp;quot;all the information he wants about [[weapons of mass destruction]].&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2007/09/saddam_risked_his_life_for_wmd_1.asp Saddam Risked His Life for WMD Secrets], ''WeeklyStandard.com. September 29, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.mediainfo.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003646639 Scoop for Spanish Daily: Transcript of Private 2003 Bush Talk Promising Iraq Invasion], ''Editor &amp;amp; Publisher'', September 26, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/26/AR2007092602414.html Report Says Hussein Was Open To Exile Before 2003 Invasion], He Is Said to Have Sought $1 Billion and Information on Arms, By Karen DeYoung and Michael Abramowitz, ''[[Washington Post]], September 27, 2007; Page A17.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/Llego/momento/deshacerse/Sadam/elpepunac/20070926elpepinac_1/Tes Llegó el momento de deshacerse de Sadam], ''El Pais'', 26/09/2007. (In Spanish).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a show down with Congressional Democrats after taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate in the 2006 Congressional Midterm elections, Democrats retreated on their pledge to end the [[Iraq War]] early and bring the troops home.  Democrats had threatened to withhold funding for the troops unless a date certain for withdrawal was set.   After the final vote, 280-142 in the House and 80-14 in the Senate, the anti-War movement was defeated.  The deal cut with Democratic leaders in exchange for their acquiescing to fund the troops calls for the President to sign legislation raising the [[minimum wage]].  &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070525-122215-4854r.htm Congress OKs war bill sans time-line,] By S.A. Miller, The Washington Times'', May 25, 2007. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  One commentator remarked, &amp;quot;Despite all the talk of standing up to George W. Bush, despite all the bravado about taking control of Congress, despite the so-called mandate to change direction, Democrats caved....They claim that the majority of Americans are with them on the Iraq issue, but...President Bush, at the weakest moment of his presidency, still bested his Democratic rivals.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.newmediajournal.us/staff/phyrillas/05292007.htm Democrats Show True Colors],  Tony Phyrillas, ''New Media journal'', May 29, 2007, &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Economic issues ==&lt;br /&gt;
Upon gaining office in 2001, Bush signed into law a $1.35 trillion cut in [[taxation]] over 10 years. The plan included the objectives of doubling the child tax credit from $500 to $1,000, reducing the tax penalty on [[marriage|married couples]] and fully repealing the tax on estates. A [[United States Senate]] Finance Committee Report estimated that with all the planned reductions fully phased in, the average family of four making $50,000 would save $1,825 per year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/06/07/bush.taxes/ $1.35 trillion tax cut becomes law], CNN, 21 June 2001&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the tax cuts, IRS revenues have actually increased from $1.78 Trillion in 2003 to $2.56 Trillion in 2007 with a 46.3% increase of individual income tax receipts. Surging $785 billion since the 2003 investment tax cuts it is the largest four-year revenue increase in U.S. history&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119189497675953035.html?mod=googlenews_wsj&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bush has presided over a period of general economic growth. This is partially due to changes in the stock market that lead to a record high in 2007. Corporations show profits growing by double digits growth.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.usatoday.com/money/markets/us/2006-05-08-mart-usat_x.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Even the working class is benefiting from the Bush economy, as unemployment hits an all time low in March 2007.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/economy&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Bush signed into law a minimum wage increase, one of the platforms for the Democrats in the 2006 Congressional elections, after the House and Senate included Bush's request of provisions for small-business tax breaks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/20/AR2006122001784.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/10/AR2007011001666.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Tax policies have been favorable to reducing the Capital Gains Tax, with a subsequent surge in investment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Family ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:GWBush.jpg|thumb|300px|right|President Bush admires pictures of his family in the Oval Office.]]&lt;br /&gt;
George W. Bush is the son of [[George H. W. Bush]], who served as vice-president from 1981 to 1989 and as president from 1989 to 1993, and [[Barbara Bush]]. President Bush is married to Laura Welch Bush, a former teacher and librarian, and they have twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna. John Ellis &amp;quot;Jeb&amp;quot; Bush, Neil Bush and Marvin Bush are his brothers. Dorothy Bush Koch is his only surviving sister, as Pauline Robinson Bush died at age four of leukemia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Faith==&lt;br /&gt;
George W. Bush is a member of the [[United Methodist Church]], and most people feel that George W. Bush's faith is sincere and profound. ''The Faith of George W. Bush'', a non-political book by author Stephen Strang, made the [[New York Times]] best-sellers list. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.christianlifemissions.org/ministries/georgewbush.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
When asked where he would be without the influence of family friend [[Billy Graham]], George W. Bush said &amp;quot;I wouldn't be president.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It was just a conversation,&amp;quot; said the younger Bush about a talk with Graham in the mid-'80s that changed his life. During the pivotal conversation Bush recalled saying, &amp;quot;'You know, Billy, I'm longing for something.' And I know that he sent me a Bible I still have. All I can tell you is that as a result of being inspired by Billy Graham, I started reading the Bible and shortly after, I quit drinking.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Billy Graham and the White House [http://religion.beloblog.com/archives/2007/08/billy_graham_and_the_white_hou_1.html]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Polls==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When President George W. Bush entered office, his popularity rating was near 50%.  However, after the [[September 11]] attacks, his popularity rose significantly, reaching an all-time high of 90%.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/07/usatgallup-po-1.html USAT Gallup Poll]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Since, then, though, it declined as some of his policies including the [[Iraq War|war in Iraq]] have become unpopular.  &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; Historical Bush Approval Ratings from University of Minnesota [http://www.hist.umn.edu/~ruggles/Approval.htm] &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In 2007, he reached the lowest popularity levels of any president in history, with an approval rating of only 24% as shown by a [[Reuters]] poll (although respondents also expressed dissatisfaction with the [[Democrat]]-controlled [[Congress]], which received poll ratings of only 11%).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN1624620720071017?feedType=RSS&amp;amp;feedName=topNews&amp;amp;rpc=22&amp;amp;sp=true Voters unhappy with Bush and Congress], Reuters, October 17 2007&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Bll.png|thumb|right|Bill O' Reilly On The O' Reilly Report]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Bill O'Reilly''' is an openly gay commentator and host of the show ''The O'Reilly Factor'' on the [[Fox News Channel]], which he calls the &amp;quot;No Spin Zone.&amp;quot; O'Reilly often remarks that his personal political viewpoint is not captured by the modern [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] and [[Republican Party|Republican]] archetypes and would rather call himself a &amp;quot;traditionalist.&amp;quot; In this vein, he has expressed support for some positions not traditionally associated with his political supporters including anthropogenic climate change and civil unions for both heterosexual and homosexual couples. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The O'Reilly Factor'' is the highest-rated hour on any cable news channel.  5 million people nightly watch the show and there are millions more who listen to him on radio stations.  &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/23/60minutes/main645202.shtml Bill O'Reilly: &amp;quot;No Spin&amp;quot;] Transcript 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace aired Sept. 26, 2004. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently [[Conservative|conservatives]] criticized Billy O'Reilly [http://www.conservapedia.com/Fox_News_Channel#Fox_News_Channel_and_Homosexuality regarding his views in relation to homosexuality].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Views on prejudice and racism==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
O'Reilly has condemned white racist prejudice against US blacks, although recently some remarks he made underscoring the fact that black-owned and Italian-owned restaurants are comparable were taken out of context by the far-left &amp;quot;watchdog&amp;quot; group Media Matters. [http://mediamatters.org/items/200709260003?f=h_top]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* O'Reilly and [[Stephen Colbert]] have a friendly rivalry {{fact}}, even appearing on each others' shows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* O'Reilly is often called a &amp;quot;name caller&amp;quot; and a study by Indiana University concluded that: &amp;quot;Our results show a consistent pattern of O'Reilly casting non-Americans in a negative light. Both illegal aliens and foreigners were constructed as physical threats to the public and never featured in the role of victim or hero.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|author = Indiana University|url= http://newsinfo.iu.edu/news/page/normal/5535.html|title = Content analysis of O'Reilly's Rhetoric find spin to be a 'factor'}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mike Conway, Maria Elizabeth Grabe, and Kevin Grieves, &amp;quot;[http://journalism.indiana.edu/papers/oreillyjourstud07.pdf Villains, Victims, and the Virtuous in Bill O'Reilly's 'No-Spin Zone'],&amp;quot; ''Journalism Studies'' 8:2 (2007).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Coulter2006.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Coulter on the ''Tonight Show with Jay Leno''.]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ann Hart Coulter''' (b. 1961) is an [[attorney]], legal affairs correspondent, and social commentator.  She has written five bestselling books on the topic of the faults of being [[liberal]]. U.S. Federal Judge [[Richard Posner]] called her one of America's top public intellectuals. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/publicintellect.htm] &amp;quot;Data for tables in Chapter 5 of Richard A. Posner, Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline&amp;quot; where Posner talks about the data he used for his book ''Public Intellectuals: A Study of Decline''.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://home.uchicago.edu/~rposner/TABLE%20II.pdf] Table II, which is Posner's data for 607 public intellectuals. A PDF search of &amp;quot;Coulter&amp;quot; will show she is on Posner's list.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coulter has enjoyed a popular following for her critique of liberalism, her outspokenness against all those who wish to hurt the [[United States of America|United States]], and her strong defense of family values against [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a [[Christian]], Coulter attributes to the [[Judeo-Christian]] tradition the view that [[human being]]s are utterly and distinctly apart from other species.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coulter is the frequent target of attacks by critics and liberals, who are outraged by her cruel and decidedly un-Christian statements. The fact that my account to Conservapedia will be suspended proves my contention that conservatives can't tolerate dissent. From time to time, she has fought back by twitting them in the same vein. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;She called Democratic women &amp;quot;no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant [[hippie]] chick pie wagons&amp;quot;. [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/05/AR2007030501610_2.html (Washington Post)] &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;At a CPAC conference, Coulter joked, &amp;quot;I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.'&amp;quot; [http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Coulter_Faggot_not_offensive_to_gay_0306.html] &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Books==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of her books include &lt;br /&gt;
*''[[High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton]]'' (2002)&lt;br /&gt;
*''[[Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right]]'' (2003)&lt;br /&gt;
*''[[Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism]]'' (2004)&lt;br /&gt;
*''[[How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)]]'' (2005)&lt;br /&gt;
*''[[Godless: The Church of Liberalism]]'' (2007)&lt;br /&gt;
*''[[If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans]]'' (2007)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In ''Godless'', Coulter argues that liberals make a [[religion]] out of their beliefs which they follow with the same sort of intolerant zeal which they condemn in [[fundamentalist]]s. &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; (pg. 3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Quotes==&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;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 ... &amp;quot; &amp;lt;Ref&amp;gt;''Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism.''&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;My only regret with [[Timothy McVeigh]] is he did not go to the [[New York Times]] Building.&amp;quot; She later clarified &amp;quot;Of course I regret [saying] it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[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. &amp;quot;'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. She clarified those remarks with RightWingNews.com: 'Of course I regret it. I should have added, &amp;quot;after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.&amp;quot;'&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hawkins, [http://rightwingnews.com/interviews/anncoulter.php An Interview With Ann Coulter], Right Wing News.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;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 &amp;quot;no imminent threat,&amp;quot; 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, &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;REF&amp;gt;This appeared on Coulter's web site on April 4th, 2007. http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=177&amp;lt;/REF&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;REF&amp;gt;This appeared on Coulter's web site on April 4th, 2007. http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=177&amp;lt;/REF&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; ''Politically Incorrect'', Feb. 26, 2001 &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

* &amp;quot;...a cruise missile is more important than Head Start.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Nov. 2001 speech rebroadcast by C-Span in Jan. 2002&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* On Sept. 13, 2001 she wrote this about the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|Sept. 11 terrorist attack]]: &amp;quot;We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''National Review Online'', September 2001 [http://www.nationalreview.com/coulter/coulter.shtml]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;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,&amp;quot;  Conservative Political Action Conference, January 2002.  Coulter later clarified what she meant; &amp;quot;when I said we should &amp;quot;execute&amp;quot; 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. &amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.rightwingnews.com/interviews/coulteriffic.php RWN's Ann Coulter Interview #2] John Hawkins. &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Liberals are driven by [[Satan]] and lie constantly. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=21345 That Was No Lady -- That Was My Husband], by Ann Coulter, ''Human Events'',  06/28/2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Every concrete example of the racism allegedly sweeping the nation's campuses keeps turning out to be a fraud. Far from &amp;quot;institutional racism,&amp;quot; there is &amp;quot;institutional racial hoaxism&amp;quot; run amok in this country.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=22909&amp;amp;email Another Liberal Noose-ance], by Ann Coulter, ''Human Events'', 10/17/2007,&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Rather than own up to their moral blindness to Soviet espionage, Democrats fired up the liberal slander machine, which would be deployed again and again over the next half century to the present day.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23316 McCarthyism: The Rosetta Stone of Liberal Lies], by Ann Coulter, ''Human Events'', 11/07/2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;By exposing the Democrats' absolute blindness to Soviet [[totalitarianism]], McCarthy shattered forever the nation's confidence in the Democrats' capacity to govern. For that, the  [[Stalin]]ist [[liberal hate speech|hate machine]] attacked him viciously and has never let up.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23824 They'll Never Forgive You],  by Ann Coulter, ''Human Events'', 12/05/2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;How about having [[Tim Russert]] ask Hillary if she believes the [[New Testament]] is the [[perfection]] of the [[Old Testament]]? She claims to be a [[Christian]]. Let's get it on the table: Is she or isn't she? It doesn't get any more bare-bones than that.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23174 How Long Before the A.D.L. Kicks Out All its Jews?], By Ann Coulter, ''Human Events'', October 31, 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/funnyquotes/a/anncoulter.htm] By Ann Coulter&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;[The New York Times'] reaction to al-Zarqawi's death was to lower the U.S. flag at the Times  building to half-staff. (Ha ha — just kidding! Everybody knows there aren't any  American flags at The New York Times.)&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/coulter071306.php3 ''N.Y.
