Conservatives Call Out Ann Coulter

Comments on "Hannity" Unnecessary and Unhelpful to Fellow Conservatives, Distracts from Serious Debate

References to Obama and Monkey Seen as a Ploy to Create Controversy, Sell Books

Washington, D.C. - Three conservative activists affiliated with the National Center for Public Policy Research who possess more than 85 years of professional experience between them are criticizing author Ann Coulter for her shameful racial tweaking on the September 9 edition of Fox News Channel program "Hannity."

Coulter, who is releasing a new book next month, appeared on "Hannity" to discuss the Obama Administration's weak response on Syria. On three occasions during in the approximately seven-minute segment, Coulter used "Obama" and "monkey" in the same sentence. It was done in the context of Russian President Vladimir Putin manipulating the Syrian crisis to make Obama look weak and indecisive on the international stage.

During the interview, Coulter said Putin "is making a monkey out of Obama," that the crisis may have been orchestrated "to make Obama look like a monkey" and that Putin "made Obama a monkey" on several occasions since the President's re-election.

While Coulter is free to choose her idioms, it appeared obvious her word choice was purposefully meant to provoke controversy. Even host Sean Hannity called out Coulter on her syntax three times during the relatively short segment, specifically asking at one point: "Why are you saying that? Because you know people are going to criticize you for using that term against the President... Are you trying to be provocative?" Obviously taken aback, Coulter paused and denied Hannity's assertion, but then subsequently used the term "ragdoll" to characterize Putin as "playing with" Obama.
