Ann Coulter’s ‘Adios, America’ Is Just A Series Of …

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter recently creditedhate websiteVDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow with inspiringtheattacks on progressive immigration policywithin her new book, 'Adios, America.' In fact, many ofthe ideas presented in the bookappear to be closely modeled afterideas presented bywhite nationalist and anti-immigrantextremistmovements in America.

Coulter Claims US Is Seeking Immigrants From "The Most Misogynist Cultures." In Adios, America, Coulter asks "why are we importing primitive cultures that are centuries behind the West in their regard for women and children?" Further, Coulter claims it is "sheer madness" to be "welcoming cultures with medieval views on the sexes." Additionally, she claims that "it's as if Ted Bundy designed our immigration policies to ensure that the most misogynist cultures go to the head of line." [Adios, America, pg. 143; pg. 145, 2015]

Coulter's Language Mimics Nativist Organizations The Social Contract Press and VDARE. The white nationalist publication of The Social Contract Press, The Social Contract, and white nationalist website VDARE, have both claimed our immigration policy favors "misogynist cultures":

The influx of low-skilled Hispanics will continue, despite claims that the Senate formulation will admit more skilled immigrants. Hispanics have a culture of misogyny that isn't going away, either here or points south.

[...]

Washington is also importing misogyny from the Middle East. [VDARE, 9/24/13]

Why is it never mentioned in immigration debates that women's rights are endangered by the demographic mix now entering the country? Do Americans blithely assume that millions of foreigners steeped in misogynist cultures will be magically transformed into egalitarian citizens when they arrive on our shores?

[...]

The majority of current and likely future immigrants come from countries where the rights of women are few or nonexistent. American women should question how safe their recently won political and reproductive rights will be with millions of misogynist men added to our society. Most non-European cultures still regard women as inferior, yet we are urged to embrace this anti-woman ideology - multiculturalism - as better than our own. Exactly where are these marvelous egalitarian societies that we should emulate? [Social Contract, Winter 99-00]

SPLC: The Social Contract Press "Routinely Publishes Race-Baiting Articles Penned By White Nationalists." According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), The Social Contract Press "routinely publishes race-baiting articles penned by white nationalists" and was "created by John Tanton, the racist founder and principle ideologue of the modern nativist movement." The organization is considered a "hate group" by the SPLC. [SPLC, accessed 6/16/15; SPLC, Summer 2002]

Ann Coulters spiritual predecessor: How the virulent …

As reported here on Tuesday, Ann Coulter is on the anti-immigrant warpath once again, appearing on Fox News Hannity program to promote her new book, Adios, America. Coulters position on immigration has evolved into an equal opportunity nativist hatred, she told Sean Hannity, from merely anti-Mexican racism to an elaborate ideology which founds American decline on all immigrants.

Just a couple days before, Coulter was joined by former congresswoman and presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann and godmother of anti-feminism Phyllis Schlafly to flesh out this theory for World Net Daily. The three influential conservative women were asked to respond to a landmark finding by Gallup, whose most recent poll showed that for the first time, Americans who identify as socially liberal have caught up with self-identified conservatives.

All three were in agreement with Coulters new theory: Its not that Americans minds are changing; its that un-American foreigners (which the rest of us call naturalized citizens) have been allowed to come and stay! here with their radical takes on traditional values. Replacing Coulter and companys anti-Mexican immigrant tack of the last decade or so is an across-the-board condemnation of immigration as a permissible phenomenon.

But its not Swedes or the French (i.e., foreigners with views typically to the left of Americans) that worry the three women. Its immigrants from Third-World nations that are the problem, says Bachmann. The trio isnt content with their already problematic proposition, and poverty gets stirred in, as though poverty is any kind of reliable companion to the possession of liberal social values. With only an obligatory mention of Europeans, the article names Hispanics, Asians and Muslims as the poor immigrants without American-like traditional values of patriarchy and homophobia.

Stop all immigration now, says Coulter even for asylum-seekers. One of the biggest rackets in immigration is those admitted as refugees, she says, using the Boston bombers as a bogeyman to paint all refugees as potential terrorists. And not only will they eventually bomb sporting events, these refugees, but theyre expensive to take care of before they figure out C-4. The Tsarnaevs were welcomed as refugees from persecution and given $100,000 in welfare handouts, Coulter complains.

These poor people dilute our standards, our values, our constitutional system and our pro-American population, worries Schlafly, building on language that by the end of the article unsettles a reader acquainted with nativist nationalists like the Depression-era demagogue Father Coughlin.

Charles Coughlin was a radio personality whose soaring popularity during the 1930s makes Rush Limbaugh look, by contrast, like a ham-radio enthusiast. Coughlin entertained as many as 30-million listeners every week with his anti-Semitic broadcasts, using language and logic alarmingly similar to that of Coulter and her crew.

For example, in the weeks after the Kristallnacht in Germany in 1938, Coughlin delivered a series of sermons on how the Jews might have invited hatred onto themselves. For Coughlin, Communism was the cultural infection that Jews were responsible for. And, not even two weeks after the Kristallnacht, Coughlin took to the airwaves to consider why Germans might reasonably believe that Jews were responsible for the economic and social ills suffered by the Fatherland.

The series of homily broadcasts can be read in a book compiled by Coughlin, Am I an Anti-Semite? Those expecting 150 pages of the word Yes will be disappointed, as Coughlin instead performs some early versions of scientific racism. Like Coulter and company, Coughlins got facts: In a spirit of mutual cooperation; in a scientific spirit of coldly facing causes in order to remove effects, let us pause to inquire why Naziism is so hostile to Jewry (Yikes.)

He continues in the same vein of learned hatred: Speaking as a student of history, I am endeavoring to analyze the reason for the growth of the idea in the minds of the Nazi Party that Communism and Judaism are too closely interwoven for the national health of Germany, he offered. He proceeds to detail how Communism is a global Jewish conspiracy, explaining that the Soviet upper ranks were full of Jews. In the contradictory world of virulent racism, global Jewry can sit atop both capitalism (they run the banks, say anti-Semites) and communism.

Ann Coulter Falsely Asserts One Quarter Of Mexico’s …

Conservative firebrandAnn Coultergrosslymisrepresented Pew data,falsely suggestingthat 25 percent of Mexico's population hasbeen "taken in" bythe United States, creating a false narrative that is spreading through right-wing media.

During a May 26 interview with Fusion's Jorge Ramos, Coulterallegedthat the United States has "taken in one quarter of the entire Mexican population."

Coulter doubled-down on her claim while appearing on theMay 28 edition ofThe Sean Hannity Show,citingthe Pew Research Center toassert"yeah we already have a quarter, a quarter of the entire Mexican population."

Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh parroted Coulter's assertion the same day,claiming"25 percent of the total population of Mexico has already immigrated, not all legal obviously, to the United States." Rush went on to say "you can trace the demise of California to this."

The Pew data Coulterreferenced actually includesboth "native born" and "foreign born" Hispanics of Mexican origin. Pew's summary of thedataexplained that"this estimate includes 11.4 million immigrants born in Mexico and 22.3 million born in the U.S. who self-identified as Hispanics of Mexican origin."

That means 65 percent of the people Coulter claimed thatthe United States has "taken in," were born in this country.

Using Coulter's flawed logic, if we were to analyze the number of people ofIrish descent in the United States, the country has taken in 737 percent of the population of Ireland.

Ann Coulter: Immigrants are worse than ISIL – Adam B …

Ann Coulter said in an interview set to air Tuesday night that immigrants to the United States are to be feared more than the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS.

Appearing on the TV network Fusion, Coulter told host Jorge Ramos, If you dont want to be killed by ISIS, dont go to Syria. If you dont want to be killed by a Mexican, theres nothing I can tell you.

Story Continued Below

When asked whether she thinks Latino immigrants are biologically predisposed to crime, the conservative writer and activist said, I think there are cultures that are obviously deficient. And if they werent deficient, you wouldnt be sitting in America interviewing me Id be sitting in Mexico.

You fled that culture because there are a lot of problems with that culture, Coulter told Ramos. We can share our culture with other nations without bringing all of their people here. When you bring the people here, you bring those cultures here. That includes honor killings, it includes uncles raping their nieces, it includes dumping litter all over, it includes not paying your taxes, it includes paying bribes to government officials. That isnt our culture.

America is the best in the world, and were about to lose it, said Coulter. She appeared on the show to promote her new book Adios, America! The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole.

No country has ever had the sort of respect for women that Anglo-America has had, and that is going out the door, Coulter added.

Ramos did not respond directly to Coulters comments in the video clips available online.

Later in the broadcast, during a question-and-answer session, an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the United States asked Coulter for a hug, as a sign of my humanity and yours.

At first Coulter turned her down because she said she was getting over the flu, but then when the questioner said she didnt mind, the conservative writer again turned her down and asked her to get on with the question.

Fox News: Ann Coulter was right not to hug Hispanic …

On The Kelly File Wednesday night, host Megyn Kelly and Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz defended Ann Coulters decision not to hug an undocumented immigrant as a sign of their the shared humanity, calling immigration activist Gaby Pachecos offer a trap.

Coulter was smart not to fall into this activists trap, Kurtz said. The woman was obviously trying to create an embarrassing moment for Ann and have an image that would go viral.

Kelly agreed that it did seem like a trap, and when youre on television, everything feels magnified and you have to be aware when someones trying to bait you into something you dont want to be involved in. And Kelly would know, as she spent the previous evening attempting to exactly that to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.

This was a clear case of baiting, Kurtz replied, adding that her defiant anti-hug stance was the right one. He also noted that all this attention from this manufactured moment only helps her sell more copies of Adios, America, the book whose publicity tour took her to Fusions America with Jorge Ramos in the first place.

Given Coulters genius for publicity, Kurtz said, she should probably send Pacheco flowers for creating this viral moment, because Coulter didnt have to do anything but politely decline.

Kelly later referenced Coulters controversial remarks about ISIS and Mexico If you dont want to be killed by ISIS, dont go to Syria. If you dont want to be killed by a Mexican, I dont know what to tell you and Kurtz admitted that he could see why someone would be offended by that statement if youre a Mexican.
