They absolutely DID attack Ann just before bringing her out onto the panel. I think the person I detest the most on this panel has got to be Elizabeth Hasselback. Hey...pssst....Elizabeth? You're supposed to be the (lone) CONSERVATIVE. Lord knows they already have enough liberals nuts on the show. Start acting like an actual conservative and stop throwing your own side under the bus. Cannot STAND her!
Why does Woopy describe Ann as a five foot seven blonde making desingenuous comments to then mention her daughter that is black yet very very fair? Couldn't she allude to her as 'white', rather than a something blonde? Certainly the racial contrast we often discuss is white versus black, not blonde versus back. Or are liberals more entitled to be potically incorrect? I'm sure Ann Coulter could not get away with that one...please bring Rosie O'Donnel back. The assumption here is that if you're conservative you need to be shut down, if you re a liberal you don t need a brain at all or know what you're talking about: you can just be. Does Woopy know what it is to be a non-married, five seven something WASP 'blonde'?Perhaps no here can communicate because neither sides has walked on each other s shoes. Please...this is not at all a manifestation of liberal thinking. This is disgraceful.
Coulter makes the same mistake Palin did by going on left wing TV shows. It will be impossible to look good. You will get in a shouting match or made to look bad one way or the other. nnAnd to refute someone by saying they aren't married or don't have a kid is ludicrous fallacy.
Barbara wasn't reading the book like MK. Ann on the other hand needs to not only base books on the facts but also be able to cite real experiences and suggest how to be a part of the solution. Judgment is not part of any solution and she stated that judging others is how to solve the problem. Didn't hear that? Then listen again.
This kind of reminds me of our illegal aliens waving the flag of their origin. Their home country abandoned them yet their citizens are here in America waving their country's flag. America is giving them the better life, yet they are proud of the country that did nothing for them. I believe what Ann says is correct. It affords them the opportunity to remain victims.
very racist statements by The View. What, because Ann is a "blonde woman" she has to SHUT UP about how bi-racial people are FORCED into one race or the other (usually black) by the culture? It's just as bad as back in the day when they were almost forced to 'pass' if they could.
Hang on, I've got a better one: If I call my car 'vanilla ice cream' and it runs perfectly, does that prove that my car is vanilla ice cream?
If the ideological war is a war of words, he who defines the words will win. Thus, you can't let your enemy change the meaning of words whenever it suits them. If the meaning of Leftism was understood, you would see the importance of the struggle. Indeed, it does not mean peace activist though Leftists would like you to believe so.
Does anyone think it's a coincidence that the word Socialist is taboo? Ideas matter. Words matter. And I love vanilla ice cream.
You can call it Vanilla Ice Cream . . . but that doesn't make it so.
Just like the word 'progressive' being used to describe the halting of human progress. The word "Liberal" has also been perverted. It used to mean free market capitalist and individualist. Then the Left got it's hands on it, not it means the complete opposite.
This is why we need to stop allowing words to be redefined to suit agendas. Ex. 'marriage'
Yo, Talionis... I saw your remark that leftists "don't even know what the word marriage means" and had to laugh. Since everyone is so fond of stating the "facts" on this website, I am sure that you already know that the state with the lowest divorce rate in the U.S. is crazy-leftist Massachusetts, home of Ted Kennedy and gay marriage! In fact, if you care to find out the truth, just go to that handy search engine Google and type in "divorce rates by state" and see what comes up. Yep, 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are in the so-called "Blue" states, mainly in that horribly liberal Northeast. And the highest divorce rates? Yessir, 10 out of 10 of the highest are in the South and West. You know, those oh-so-moral, God and Country first and Family Values states. RED states, full of upstanding moral people like yourself. Weird, isn't it? Almost makes you think there's a lot of finger-pointing going on by a lot people who need to take a good long look in the mirror.
As the mother of a biracial child who's father walked away from us, I totally agree with Ann! I would be profoundly hurt if my daughter only identified with her father, when it is my husband and I who raise her. I agree with what she is saying about single parenthood, particularly single motherhood. It has been glamorized by Hollywood and our culture. As a former single parent, it is not glamorous! It is very difficult, and ultimately hurts our culture. Children thrive in a two parent, father and mother home. It is just a fact.
Golly, I'd love to join im the debate some more or watch the videos, but I'm busy watching the inaugurial festivities. AMERICA ELECTED OBAMA in spite of the attempts to demonize him(or perhaps because of a backlash to the ranting.) So, Ann, get over it.
Since so many Liberals took the time to come to this website just to bash Ann, maybe you could check out some other videos and actually see what Conservatism is about.
How would you feel if your child praised their father even though he left you and never did a thing for them? Does that make sense? Ann is wondering WHY certain celebrities do just that.
There will always be racism in our society unless we breed ourselves into one color and look. We just need to deal with it and try to do the right thing in each situation we encounter. Single motherhood has been idolized by the left and the media. I wish the left and the media would start idolizing obese people, then I can feel better about my self.
The statement "5'7" and blonde" came from Whoopi Goldberg spoken in a very negative tone! When I used it, it was playing on Whoopi's ignorant statement. She was spouting and basically trying to show her displeasure of racism and yet it was okay for her to turn around make a racist statement about Ann. (5'7" and blonde).
Speaking from my own experience... I and my two siblings grew up in a single parent household, and it was not fun. But we have persevered; my sister is a business administrator, I have a B.A. in History, and my younger brother is on his way in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M. So we turned out fine. And yet, I went to a high school dominated by single-motherhood minority children, of which many were (surprise!) delinquents. Why can't we just leave worthless emotions out of the debate and deal with the facts? Because Liberalism is the triumph of unreason. It is a rebellion against real progress. By the way, I often felt embarrassed at the fact that my father was a failure, because I am well aware that his genetics pass down to me. This was a good motivator, and it makes me anxious to restore my grandfather's good name. We need to bring the concept of shame back to the mainstream. The sins of the father pass down to the son. You liberals who identify with Darwin so much, should have no problem with this idea (unless you're hypocrites).
Since no Liberals want to touch those questions . . . check out a video posted by Mr. Talionis showing Obama claiming racism because he is 'only half black'. Against Alan Keyes!!!
I didn't hear Ann say anything negative about the mothers. She is baffled by the fact that the father's that ran away are being praised. Watch the interview again.
My favorite racists are the racists who don't think they're racist and then proceed to make a statement BASED ON RACE.
The View episode was a joke. Are they trying to say that Barack Obama didn't know exactly what he was doing by playing the race card. Would it have been such a big deal to have another white man run and eventually become president? When is racism going to be offensive to all races and not just blacks? Whats wrong with just refering to ourselves as human beings who are all equal? People need to stop using race as a convenience. As for single Moms the statistics are what they are. It has become fashionable to be a single Mom. We would not have as many problems if television didn't dictate what is cool and not. Its cool to be in rehab, divorced, or behaving badly. What happened to family values. Most single Moms have a difficult time and I feel badly for them. There are some real deadbeat guys out there that should care about their own children regardless. To just decide that you want to put your child through that is not a wise idea. I think you are talking of the many women who make a choice to bring children into the world on their own as it is almost a fashion statement. Well those "B's" treated you badly not to let you speak your side. Only one seemed to stand up for you and isn't it funny she is also 5'7" and blonde. lol
Tlady, it's not an ignorant statement, she is citing statistics. It's great that you succeeded despite being raised by a single mother. The book is not meant to chastise you. It's simply meant to get the facts out there. Ann's point is that many of those raised by single moms are in jail, so they may not even have the ability to come on here and back her point up.
I am very appalled by her ignorant statement. My mother is a single mother, I am not a criminal. I am very successful. I have graduated from college with a Bachelor in Profesional Writing. I cannot believe that she is so ignorant. Talking about things that she was never experienced. To think that my mother is a bad mother because she chose to have a baby being a single mother is ridiculous. How about we ask these missing men why they choose to be absent it has nothing to do with the women, they do what they have to do to take care of their children, while me are out living their lives. I think Ann Coulture is an idiot... I guess free speech is in full effect, even if the person doesn't have anything smart to say!!!
The economic impact of single motherhood can't be denied. Both on the mother and the country. This works to the benefit of socialists because it makes more people depend on the government.
It doesn't matter how many excuses sound plausible, reality is reality. A is A and B is B.
The real reason that the majority of the residents of our prisons are from single parent homes is that most of the two parent family criminals actually had better legal representation. Let's face it, if you don't have the funds to pay for a good lawyer, you are almost always persuaded to take a deal ...and that's really sad. And why can't Halle Berry and Barrack Obama embrace their black heritage just as much as their white heritage. It does not necessarily mean that they are praising their fathers, but face reality they are black and white! You know that you can learn just as much from someone's negative actions just as much as the positive ...this woman, Ann Coulter is a poison that if left to speak freely will spread, infect and kill the ideals of society!
Single or married mothers - love your children and hug them everyday!
I have never been a big fan of "The View" and this espisode is a perfect example of why. They ask questions, then interrupt you every time you try to answer. They invite you on to talk, then bash you because you don't agree with them. Let's be frank: everything you ATTEMPTED to say, Ann, was absolutely true. Halle Berry calls herself a black actress, even though it was her white mother who loved her and raised her without the help of her black father. Obama barely acknowledges the white members of his family, even though they are the ones who took care of him when his black father wouldn't. And, while there was a time when a girl who was pregnant and not married would feel ashamed, that is certainly not the case now. These days, even if the girl is 15 years old, people gather around to celebrate and congratulate her. No thought is given to the fact that both her life and the life of her child are pretty much ruined. Keep talking, Ann! SOME of us ARE listening and those who aren't can just go to hell!
I love woopie. Claiming to be one of the single mothers in the book. She has made how many millions and talks about being an ordinary single mother... This is another display of how the liberal media controls the American debate. Thanks for the entertainment!!
Hi Ms. Coulter, I am African-American and I am a single parent. My daughters now 30 and 21, whom I adopted, are both working and in school and I am very proud of all they have accomplished. I was raised by both of my parents who are still married, yet that didn’t deter me from taking on the responsibility of loving and nurturing two children who needed a home. I have a B.S. in Child Development and have considered myself a child advocate all my adult life. At the same time, I am aware that a single parent who has solid morals and is a positive role model for her children and willing to make the necessary sacrifices, is better than two parents who aren’t. The fact that single mothers raised 70% of those who are incarcerated is one way to look at the tragedy in our society. Another way to look at it would be, 70% of those who are incarcerated were perhaps raised in a dysfunctional environment that included an absent father.
As far as Halle, Alicia and Obama identifying themselves as black , that is because we have always lived in a white society that has never accepted a person of color who looks black as being white . Could any of them walk into a white supremacist meeting and take a seat? Since white America is going to treat them and others with similar skin tone as black, which race do you expect them to accept? There are plenty of black people with two black parents who possess skin that is a lighter than theirs. So, what would you call them ¦almost white? Furthermore, you only seem to be concerned about the half-white celebrities who have accomplished something. What about the ne'er-do-wells who are also half white? Do you want to claim them as well?
Furthermore, black celebrities, especially actors, are among those who have the most difficult time getting good roles. Do you really believe Meryl Streep would be as successful as she is if she had been black? How many of those outstanding roles would she have received being an outstanding black actress? Black people were here when George Washington was elected president. Do you really believe white America is saying that if Obama had come along one hundred years ago, he could have been president? Do you really believe that the only reason people who look black but are biracial only accept being African-American out of choice? Perhaps the statistic you research for your next book should be the percentage of people who are trying to make a difference regardless of race.
Celebrities cling to their minority heritage for the same reason Ward Churchill claims to be a Native American. It has nothing to do with the way they look. Any white person with even a fraction of Native American blood will claim it.
OJ became Mr. Black Man and it kept him out of jail.
Check her facts, don't attack her. She is just stating a sad truth that most criminals come from single parent homes. Facts are stubborn things. The point is that Fathers need to step up to the plate and take responsibility. It was a shameful ambush from The View.
Well, I never agree with anything she says, but I do give Coulter credit for throwing herself into a tank of sharks.
I think the crucial flaw of her race argument is that people like Barack Obama LOOK black. If you just saw a photo of him, you would have no idea that he's half white. Naturally they're going to identify more with their black heritage. They look black, they're treated as if they're black.
Ann was the only class act at that desk on the view. They should never have any guest on of Ann's intellegence because it shows the world how ignorant that annoying crowd is on the View. Typical liberal show. They rip her up before she is even out there to defend herself. She's a tough broad, that Ann and she doesn't take any crap from any of them. She is absolutly right about how Hally Berry , Obama and Keys all pay homage to the black fathers who left them instead of the white mothers who raised them. They like coming off as the victims, that is why they do it. You go Ann. That group is no match for you. They don't know how to deal with intellegent conservatives who are not afraid to tell it like it is. You make me proud!!!
After watching all the Ann Coulter interviews on Popmodel, I have come to the conclusion that Leftards in the MSM cannot defend their beliefs when faced by someone who is not afraid of their disapproval. And, Ann Coulter seems to be the only Conservative out there that is willing to tape a target on her shirt and walk into the MSM shooting gallery!
The Interviewers always ask questions like, don't you think you are being to cold or how can you say something so mean When Ann quotes a study, for instance, on the how children of unwed mothers have a good chance of turning to crime, the morons always pull out single examples of unwed mothers that have œsucceeded.
Its like, see 1 out of 100 unwed mothers raise a normal, productive, citizen why are you so mean! Ann Coulter When anyone that is semi-literate understands Ann is talking about how Hollywood and the MSM is conferring Sainthood on single mothers and is on the warpath against heterosexuals marrying and having children. Yet when Ann, in these interviews, gets that point out, usually when the interviewers are trying to talk over her answer by asking her another question on a totally different subject.
After watching Ann Coulter this past week on her book promotion I realize why I never took the time or put forth the effort to find out what she is about..... I'm assuming a wealthy, hateful (even if most of her outrageous comments are for shock value, it still takes a pretty empty hearted person to say them) by the way, Ann, Ya need to stop watching so many episodes of Sex in the City.... your impersination of Sara Jessica Parker is quite difficult to watch.... Ahh yeah ya did!!
Leftists believe the State should take care of you. Therefore, a mother and father aren't important. In fact, they stand in the way. A perfect example would be Pol Pot's communist regime in Cambodia. An extreme facet of the ideology yet even mild Leftists lean in that direction.
FYI: Bristol Palin's child has a loving mother and father. That is a nuclear family. (and $300K)
Hilarious, well we know how liberals can best ann, debate her before she gets on stage. Yeah whoopi, white, tall, and blonde disqualify someone from having beliefs based on research. Oh and barbara, the actual insult was not citing ann's book title properly, that's the attack. oh yeah, whoopi, social commentary is ann's act, unlike yours which is being a comedian and actor portraying a qualified social commentator on TV. And barb, there are single moms that can raise their children properly. Unfortunately, as ann points out, they comprise only 20%-30% of them. Finally, funny watching whoopi hide behind the victimhood of single motherhood to attack this book.
Ann is right Obama wrote a book praising his black father why not a book about his white mother and grandparents who raised him fed him educated him (with the help of GOvt handouts) due to the fact that he was a fatherless child. The Govt set up the programs to destroy the Family if you have a baby without a father then you can get free housing (housing projects title 8) food stamps,free medical insurance ,free child care ,free breakfast and lunch in school. I work with a woman who ditched her husband (who by the way was working a full time job and a part time job) so that she could have a brand new home bulit for her and her 2 children by habitat for humanity, you have to be a single mother below a certain income to qualify (she had a huge wedding to this man that cost every bit of $2000.00 or more 5 yrs ago) he is a good man and a good father and the father of her two children age 10 and 5. yes she worked the systen in her favor and now has a custom built (she pickout the carpet,counter tops tile and paint) home.
Did they kick her off the show after the break..Ann held her own against the panel of 5 throwing questions at her all at the time. Whoopi and Joy are starting to look like an old married couple and Sherri and Elizabeth are thier daughters and Barbara is the grammy...
Did the producers of the show give Ann a small fee for babysitting? Ann deserved it, especially when she tried to respond, only to get interrupted. Ann makes solid points, and is not afraid to call out any phoney, let alone these screechers. You Libs throw the insults around everytime Ann butchers another one of your sacred cows. Good job, Ann.
Yeah, I'll admit it. I love Ann. She's smart, got a backbone, and is VERY easy on the eyes. Before you Socialists try and trash her, you should maybe read a book she's written.
Lastly, in which balanced debate show do you talk about a guest while they are backstage, get all your shots in, and never give them a chance to respond to any of the ridiculous arguments you make against them when they weren't present to defend themselves? That's absolutely pathetic.
They had a whole five minute segment talking about Ann looking into her crystal ball, and guessing the thoughts of Barack Obama and Alicia Keys towards their parents, when they have clearly affiliated with their black side in preference to their white in order to play the victim and advance in America. Remember Obama constantly saying that the Republicans were going to say "he doesn't look like all the other presidents" and remember him quickly throwing his white grandmother under the bus in order to defend his absolute racist anti-American pastor of 20 years?
These View ladies (mostly Whoopi) are a bunch of blithering idiots. Sorry, but it's the truth.
I also love how Hasselbeck tried to step up to the plate to take Ann on, and got completely destroyed. I mean what was she thinking? Elizabeth is clearly an intellectual lightweight, and cannot even pose a challenge to Ann's mental ability -- even while she's sleeping.
I also liked how when all else failed, Whoopi resorted to personal attacks about asking about marriage and children -- that's when you know a Liberal has run out of tautological arguments, and has clearly lost a debate.
Additionally, I love how nobody made a peep when Walters condescendingly said: "Why don't you read the book" to Ann about Obama's autobiography -- how rude was that, but people only seem to have a problem with Ann pointing out that she was clearly trying to read the excerpt like it was Mein Kampf.
I am sorry to say but Whoopi Goldberg is a complete illiterate. She tried to take on Ann but failed miserably. First, she asks: What is your issue with single mothers? Well dummy, if you had read the book, before you try to interview the author on it, you wouldn't have to ask such an idiotic question. Then the idiot goes on to say that what Ann has cited "is based on not great research." I mean, come on, disagree with what Ann says, but the woman backs up her claims with a VAST amount of research. Whoopi also says the research has been discounted time and time again, but doesn't document how, when, and where. Why do these liberal idiots get away with talking a whole load of undocumented trash?
I didn't realize two unwed teenagers, together since they were 15 - (are 15-year-olds really ready to make lifetime committments?), was a "nuclear family." If money made from photos of their newborn will keep them together, what kind of bond is that? Ann attacks with a vengence all single mothers and insists none should get support for babies born before wedlock. Is she so enraged about this baby being expoited this way? I fully support the nuclear family. I do not support Ann Coulter's judgemental hatred. But I guess that's her act to sell her books.
If Liberals don't want Ann to accuse them of attacking the nuclear family . . . maybe Liberals should stop attacking the nuclear family. That's a 'solid' plan.
She had her baby about a week ago. They've been together for 3 years and are still engaged so that doesn't quite make her single. Plus they're supposedly getting $300k for the baby pictures so homeboy isn't going anywhere.
Thank goodness they are standing up to her manic hatred, and not letting her get by with it! I wonder if her ridiculous rant against single mothers applies to "beauteous" Sarah Pallin's daughter?
I have only watched that show twice. Once~Poor McCain shocked by ill mannered yelling. Secondly, today with Ann. Those women couldn't keep an intelligent conversation if their liberalism depended on it. They did attack Ann and good for Ann. She overrode MS. Whoopie and stuck by her beliefs. FYI ~ Whoopie was mentioned in Ann's first book. Ann was absolutely right there too.
Ann even said to move beyond tone and talk about substance. Anger usually takes over when you don't have a valid point or conviction.
Why aren't they talking about how illogical it is to identify yourself by the color of your skin? That would be productive topic of discussion. Maybe people cling to skin color because they don't have much else going on beneath the surface.
If they had a true Conservative on the show, maybe they could have intelligent discussions.
The only reason they all reacted that way, was in reference to the blanket insults Ann used to describe single mothers.. such as Whoopi. I guarantee that Whoopi is not only a better mother than Ann would be, she is morally centered and does not put others down and use insults to attract attention to sell books. She worded her answer as to tell Whoopi that she used her self as being a single mother to climb the celebrity ladder to success. Who is Ann to make that call on her? It was outright 'rude' and uncalled for.
If Ann would learn to voice her opinion in ways where it's not so hateful and obnoxious, others would 'hear her message' instead of attacking her and usually in defense of her immoral accusations towards others..or is this hate system she has set up is in reality to sell books?
I can't believe Ann even wasted her time on this bogus show! They don't want to hear reason or logic and when they are exposed to it they attack like a pack of wild female dogs in heat. Joy is totally disgusting with her facial expressions and body language it is totally obvious when she feels her little love boat getting rocked. The vicious off the wall attacks she spews only concretes her ignorance, she is a bitter B! The shows name is a total lie it is not the view of the majority of American women, as a woman I am totally insulted!
It would be unbearable to sit where Ann sat while the wildcats were pawing away with their nasty claws out. It is also amazing how each of their intollerable minds work if someone elses "view" doesn't quite match their blindness. Good job Ann, keep going, I'll vote for th Coulter/Palin ticket.
Whoopie said Leftism is just an act. Leftism is real. Too real. It's not just a name of a baseball team or a brand of soda. If people knew what Leftism meant, we wouldn't need to argue as much.
Elizabeth is afraid of Barbara Walter's she no longer speaks up in defense she has had her words pushed down her throat for a year now she is afraid of being another Star, or Rosie getting the boot courtesy of Ms Walter's her view is everyones view don't rock the boat Elizabeth be a good girl & watch Joy ... Barbara Walter's lackey she will show you how it's done.
There is a reason that this program is called "The View". It is only able to tolerate "their view" and no one elses. Elisbeth (sp?) could not get a word in edgewise, and neither could Ms Coulter. Their liberal bias host like guests with warmth and open arms, while anyone from the right is viewed as the enemy. Ms Coulter never stood a chance to discuss her book with any sense of civility.
I may not agree with Ms Coulter on everything, but I do applaud her for not stooping to their level. Three of the 4 hosts march to the beat of the mainstream left wing media and will never rely on the facts. This program will never come close to being "fair and balanced". Hence the name "The View".
Why would Ann waste her time going on a show that only welfare bums and single mothers watch? I could barly watch the first couple of minutes where these Leftards were pumping themselves up to face Ann.

Wonderboy666, you got your wish (just read Rosie had a new TV deal inked)
You don't need to experience crack to know it's bad. Ooh, I just made a judgement. I hope I didn't offend any crack addicts.
WTF????
She was taking it from FIVE NASTY BIATCHES the whole segment (and the segment before.)
That's the only way liberals have even a CHANCE to defeat a wonderful conservative.
And even then Ann the BEAUTY beat the BEASTS (minus Elizabeth of course!) hands down...
Whoooooooooooo!!!

And, as I say...I DO think Whoopi's cool and much better than whoever she replaced. Who WAS that anyway? haha
Same liberal racism...different direction.

Have fun inside the Matrix. Don't fill up on endorphins.

What we believe and why.
Can we all agree that father's should not abandon their families?
Paynet,
How would you feel if your child praised their father even though he left you and never did a thing for them? Does that make sense? Ann is wondering WHY certain celebrities do just that.
I and my two siblings grew up in a single parent household, and it was not fun. But we have persevered; my sister is a business administrator, I have a B.A. in History, and my younger brother is on his way in Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M. So we turned out fine. And yet, I went to a high school dominated by single-motherhood minority children, of which many were (surprise!) delinquents. Why can't we just leave worthless emotions out of the debate and deal with the facts? Because Liberalism is the triumph of unreason. It is a rebellion against real progress. By the way, I often felt embarrassed at the fact that my father was a failure, because I am well aware that his genetics pass down to me. This was a good motivator, and it makes me anxious to restore my grandfather's good name. We need to bring the concept of shame back to the mainstream. The sins of the father pass down to the son. You liberals who identify with Darwin so much, should have no problem with this idea (unless you're hypocrites).

If you 'totally agree' with michaelah, can you answer what 'white society' means? And how do you 'treat' someone black?
You're against racism yet you perpetuate it.
I didn't hear Ann say anything negative about the mothers. She is baffled by the fact that the father's that ran away are being praised. Watch the interview again.
My favorite racists are the racists who don't think they're racist and then proceed to make a statement BASED ON RACE.

As for single Moms the statistics are what they are. It has become fashionable to be a single Mom. We would not have as many problems if television didn't dictate what is cool and not. Its cool to be in rehab, divorced, or behaving badly. What happened to family values. Most single Moms have a difficult time and I feel badly for them. There are some real deadbeat guys out there that should care about their own children regardless. To just decide that you want to put your child through that is not a wise idea. I think you are talking of the many women who make a choice to bring children into the world on their own as it is almost a fashion statement.
Well those "B's" treated you badly not to let you speak your side. Only one seemed to stand up for you and isn't it funny she is also 5'7" and blonde. lol

The economic impact of single motherhood can't be denied. Both on the mother and the country. This works to the benefit of socialists because it makes more people depend on the government.
It doesn't matter how many excuses sound plausible, reality is reality. A is A and B is B.
You don't need an abortion to prevent single motherhood. You need a father. It's less genocidal.
We don't need more lawyers to keep people out of jail. We need more people to stop breaking the law.
Single or married mothers - love your children and hug them everyday!
'White Society?' Can you explain that one too?
Obama couldn't have been elected in the time of Washington because he is a Statist. And again I ask, how do you 'treat someone black?'
I am African-American and I am a single parent. My daughters now 30 and 21, whom I adopted, are both working and in school and I am very proud of all they have accomplished. I was raised by both of my parents who are still married, yet that didn’t deter me from taking on the responsibility of loving and nurturing two children who needed a home. I have a B.S. in Child Development and have considered myself a child advocate all my adult life. At the same time, I am aware that a single parent who has solid morals and is a positive role model for her children and willing to make the necessary sacrifices, is better than two parents who aren’t. The fact that single mothers raised 70% of those who are incarcerated is one way to look at the tragedy in our society. Another way to look at it would be, 70% of those who are incarcerated were perhaps raised in a dysfunctional environment that included an absent father.
As far as Halle, Alicia and Obama identifying themselves as black , that is because we have always lived in a white society that has never accepted a person of color who looks black as being white . Could any of them walk into a white supremacist meeting and take a seat? Since white America is going to treat them and others with similar skin tone as black, which race do you expect them to accept? There are plenty of black people with two black parents who possess skin that is a lighter than theirs. So, what would you call them ¦almost white? Furthermore, you only seem to be concerned about the half-white celebrities who have accomplished something. What about the ne'er-do-wells who are also half white? Do you want to claim them as well?
Furthermore, black celebrities, especially actors, are among those who have the most difficult time getting good roles. Do you really believe Meryl Streep would be as successful as she is if she had been black? How many of those outstanding roles would she have received being an outstanding black actress? Black people were here when George Washington was elected president. Do you really believe white America is saying that if Obama had come along one hundred years ago, he could have been president? Do you really believe that the only reason people who look black but are biracial only accept being African-American out of choice?
Perhaps the statistic you research for your next book should be the percentage of people who are trying to make a difference regardless of race.
Celebrities cling to their minority heritage for the same reason Ward Churchill claims to be a Native American. It has nothing to do with the way they look. Any white person with even a fraction of Native American blood will claim it.
OJ became Mr. Black Man and it kept him out of jail.
I love how Bristol Palin is the gold standard.
It was a shameful ambush from The View.
I think Ann's point is that there SHOULD NOT BE a race argument.
How do you 'treat someone black?'
I think the crucial flaw of her race argument is that people like Barack Obama LOOK black. If you just saw a photo of him, you would have no idea that he's half white. Naturally they're going to identify more with their black heritage. They look black, they're treated as if they're black.
Leftists don't even know what the word marriage means. And trust me, an engaged woman is not single.
The Interviewers always ask questions like, don't you think you are being to cold or how can you say something so mean When Ann quotes a study, for instance, on the how children of unwed mothers have a good chance of turning to crime, the morons always pull out single examples of unwed mothers that have œsucceeded.
Its like, see 1 out of 100 unwed mothers raise a normal, productive, citizen why are you so mean! Ann Coulter When anyone that is semi-literate understands Ann is talking about how Hollywood and the MSM is conferring Sainthood on single mothers and is on the warpath against heterosexuals marrying and having children. Yet when Ann, in these interviews, gets that point out, usually when the interviewers are trying to talk over her answer by asking her another question on a totally different subject.
Leftists believe the State should take care of you. Therefore, a mother and father aren't important. In fact, they stand in the way. A perfect example would be Pol Pot's communist regime in Cambodia. An extreme facet of the ideology yet even mild Leftists lean in that direction.
FYI: Bristol Palin's child has a loving mother and father. That is a nuclear family. (and $300K)
Yeah, I'll admit it. I love Ann. She's smart, got a backbone, and is VERY easy on the eyes. Before you Socialists try and trash her, you should maybe read a book she's written.
They had a whole five minute segment talking about Ann looking into her crystal ball, and guessing the thoughts of Barack Obama and Alicia Keys towards their parents, when they have clearly affiliated with their black side in preference to their white in order to play the victim and advance in America. Remember Obama constantly saying that the Republicans were going to say "he doesn't look like all the other presidents" and remember him quickly throwing his white grandmother under the bus in order to defend his absolute racist anti-American pastor of 20 years?
These View ladies (mostly Whoopi) are a bunch of blithering idiots. Sorry, but it's the truth.
I also liked how when all else failed, Whoopi resorted to personal attacks about asking about marriage and children -- that's when you know a Liberal has run out of tautological arguments, and has clearly lost a debate.
Additionally, I love how nobody made a peep when Walters condescendingly said: "Why don't you read the book" to Ann about Obama's autobiography -- how rude was that, but people only seem to have a problem with Ann pointing out that she was clearly trying to read the excerpt like it was Mein Kampf.
First, she asks: What is your issue with single mothers? Well dummy, if you had read the book, before you try to interview the author on it, you wouldn't have to ask such an idiotic question. Then the idiot goes on to say that what Ann has cited "is based on not great research." I mean, come on, disagree with what Ann says, but the woman backs up her claims with a VAST amount of research. Whoopi also says the research has been discounted time and time again, but doesn't document how, when, and where. Why do these liberal idiots get away with talking a whole load of undocumented trash?
If Liberals don't want Ann to accuse them of attacking the nuclear family . . . maybe Liberals should stop attacking the nuclear family. That's a 'solid' plan.
She had her baby about a week ago. They've been together for 3 years and are still engaged so that doesn't quite make her single. Plus they're supposedly getting $300k for the baby pictures so homeboy isn't going anywhere.
Bristol Palin isn't a single mother.
Ann even said to move beyond tone and talk about substance. Anger usually takes over when you don't have a valid point or conviction.
Why aren't they talking about how illogical it is to identify yourself by the color of your skin? That would be productive topic of discussion. Maybe people cling to skin color because they don't have much else going on beneath the surface.
If they had a true Conservative on the show, maybe they could have intelligent discussions.
Whoopie said Leftism is just an act. Leftism is real. Too real. It's not just a name of a baseball team or a brand of soda. If people knew what Leftism meant, we wouldn't need to argue as much.
I may not agree with Ms Coulter on everything, but I do applaud her for not stooping to their level. Three of the 4 hosts march to the beat of the mainstream left wing media and will never rely on the facts. This program will never come close to being "fair and balanced". Hence the name "The View".
There were four of them and they still failed!
The view is pathetic! The show is a joke...pure BS
