Conservative thought courtesan Ann “Banshee” Coulter has been making the cable talk show rounds attempting to defend Herman “Pizza Man” Cain against sexual harassment allegations. Earlier this week she appeared on FOX PAC, telling Sean Hannity black conservatives are better than black liberals. “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” she said.
Appearing on the “Joy Behar” show, the banshee was given a chance to clarify the remark, but of course being who she is, she chose not to.
“I’m saying Google Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney and John Conyers, or Google Allen West, Michael Steele or Herman Cain,” Coulter said. “Ours are more impressive. There is no question about that.”
“When Michael Steele was running for Senate, liberals showed up and rolled Oreos down the aisle at him,” Coulter added. “The only racism you hear is against conservative blacks–and it is vicious.”
The problem with her little story about Michael Steele being assaulted with Oreos is that isn’t true (http://www.wtop.com/?nid=&sid=622881) or at best is greatly exaggerated by the likes of Coulter and Hannity as evidence of “liberal racism” (http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200604260015).
But the banshee was finished with her racially charged commentaries, earlier she tweeted a comment regarding the Kim Kardashian divorce, “Kim Kardashian inspires slogan for 2012 presidential campaign,” she tweeted. “[Once] you go half-black, you CAN go back.”
Coulter is firing off half-thought commentary falling in line with Rush Limbaugh that the accusations against Cain are part of a process to tear down a black Republican. “Liberals detest, detest, detest conservative blacks,” she said. “…This is now the second time a conservative black has had outrageous and what appear to be false allegations leveled against him.”
Hannity said that, while he was not downplaying the seriousness of sexual harassment, he felt that everyday office banter was being misconstrued too often as inappropriate. “These people are humorless,” he said.
So, here we have Sean Hannity supporting sexual harassment victims as being humorless? Problem with guys like Hannity is they just don’t get it; there are serious limits on what someone can and cannot say to someone – anyone – in a professional environment, and certainly inviting a woman to your private corporate apartment (as Cain allegedly did) is one of the things you cannot do.
Hannity was confused – hard to believe I know – as to why liberals were, in his words, so “threatened” by Cain. Coulter was blunt in her response.
“Our blacks are so much better than their blacks,” she said, speaking of Democrats. “To become a black Republican, you don’t just roll into it. You’re not going with the flow…and that’s why we have very impressive blacks in the Republican party.”
“Our blacks are so much better than their blacks”? Really? Did you really just say “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks”? There are so many different rabbit holes this comment could send everyone into, such as, is Coulter somehow claiming ownership over conservative blacks? At best her comment demonstrates an incredible amount of ignorance regarding race; at worse it shows a racist sub current flowing below the peroxide.

Pretty much by definition, an African-American who is a self-identified member of the republic party has turned his/her back on social issues, so of COURSE she thinks they are “better”
But how tone deaf can a banshee BE to use the terms “our” and “their” in this context. I mean, come ON!
