Colmes to Coulter: 'You are a hate crime'

Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter suggested on Monday that she expects an apology from everyone who complained that her harping on President Obama's middle name, Hussein, was a hate crime. However, Fox's token liberal, Alan Colmes refused to oblige her.

Coulter began by telling Colmes, "Lo these many months, when you were accusing me of committing a hate crime ... [the truth about] our president-elect's middle name is that he likes it."

She was referring to Obama's recent announcement that he will use his full name when sworn in as president, Barack Hussein Obama.

Since at least June of 2007, Couter has been calling the then-candidate as "B. Hussein Obama," a practice which she still continues. When Fox host Neil Cavuto asked her in February, "Why do you keep saying the 'B. Hussein Obama'?" Coulter replied, "Well, that's his name. ... He's probably going to be our next president, President Hussein."

"Not only do you owe me an apology," Coulter insisted to Colmes, "but Michelle Obama owes me an apology for calling it was a 'fear-bomb' we were dropping by calling him Hussein."

"I would like my apology now," she smirked, folding her arms and tossing her head pertly. "I'm ready."

"Not an apology," responded Colmes sternly. "He is following tradition in terms of how a president is sworn in. You purposely underscored his middle name, diminishing his first name, to point out that he had the name of a terrorist!"

Coulter, who had previously noted that Obama "also said that this was to 'reboot' our relations with the Muslim world," insisted in response, "It can not simultaneously be a hate crime to use a man's middle name and ... for him to say 'this is going to change our relations with the Muslim world.'"

"Ann," Colmes finally said in frustration, "I think you are a hate crime."

"Thank you," Coulter replied smugly.

American politics; where your middle name has more impact on voters than your social policies.

Once a mindless IQ-stunted bigot is always a bigot.

She truly is dumber than a bag of hockey pucks. Wait, I'm Canadian, and hockey pucks are actually useful.

@46reno Amen!!

@MyXxx77 Well, apparently George W. Bush didn't know the difference either, declaring war on Iraq while insisting that Saddam Hussein was a terrorist because he aided them. He WAS a terrorist against his own people, of course, but he was not at all one in the sense the W and the rest of his cronies argued, all in an attempt to launch an unjust war that has cost us far more than you or I can understand at this point and time.

@MyXxx77 Ghenghis Khan used Terror as a weapon and would be considered a terrorist.

Colmes and Coulter totally want to bang each other.
