Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:Sean Hannity brought on Ann Coulter tonight to talk about the current negotiations over the fiscal cliff and what the Republican party can do to reach an acceptable compromise. Coulter surprised Hannity when she argued that the GOP should back away from trying to fight the Democrats on raising taxes on the wealthy in order not to feed into the media stereotype about Republicans. Hannity argued the GOP actually needs to take a strong stand against the country going bankrupt. He proposed another extension of the Bush tax cuts, but Coulter predicted it would die in the Senate. She acknowledged that although the Republican party should not cave on everything, a lot of what they are doing is feeding into the media narrative about how they are trying to protect the rich. When Hannity pressed Coulter, she admitted that she was essentially calling for the GOP to give in to Obama’s demands on raising taxes. Coulter argued that the Republicans are in no room to negotiate because Obama won reelection, but Hannity shot back saying that the GOP held onto the House to serve as a check on the president’s power. Hannity found it astounding that Coulter would prioritize a PR campaign over conservatives sticking to their guns. Coulter exclaimed, “They’re going to lose!” http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hannity-and-coulter-battle-over-whether-house-republicans-should-give-in-to-obama-on-taxes/] She may be a nutcase, but she's not stupid!Quote:"You're saying capitulate to Obama?" Hannity stammered. "We don't have a revenue problem, Ann." "We lost the election, Sean!" Coulter replied Nobody seems to want to quote the whole interview, and my Youtube is slow as hell, so I had to hunt around to find excerpts:Quote:Coulter began to mention that Republicans should concede on the tax issue for the rich when Hannity asked why the House does not pass a bill that extends the Bush tax cuts for all in the country. "They could, but it would be rejected in the Senate, and the question is, then what happens?" .... “OK fine, let’s do that, but in the end, at some point, if the Bush tax cuts are repealed and everyone’s taxes go up, I promise you Republicans will get blamed for it,” she said. “It doesn’t mean you cave on everything, but there are some things Republicans do that feed into what the media is telling America about Republicans.”More at http://www.jdjournal.com/2012/12/07/ann-coulter-shocks-sean-hannity-about-republican-comments/ I loved this one, which most seem to have bypassed: Hannity: "Sometimes on principle, you gotta stand... Coulter: "What's the principle?! The principle is we want to raise taxes on everyone?...If they block tax hikes on the top two--as they call the top two 'income earners', not the rich--then taxes go up for everyone. How is that winning? That isn't winning--taxes go up for everyone, we're against tax hikes..." My gawd, Ann Coulter trying to talk sanity to Sean Hannity! Who'd-a thunk it?!?!
