Ann Coulter should have known better. She should have called John and Cindy McCain before making an appearance on "The View".
I'm not saying I am a fan of, or support, Ann Coulter at all. But did she think she was going to get a chance to talk about her both. She is one of the few people who have looked at Barbara Walters and basically called her a liar.
From MSNBC.
The tension was thick from the get go, as Walters introduced Coulter, saying, “We’ve all been discussing your book on camera.”
“Yes, I’ve heard,” Coulter said, interrupting Walters.
“Good, you should be pleased,” Walters snapped back, which silenced Coulter.
The hot topics quickly boiled over when talk turned to Coulter’s view on single mothers.
“What is your issue with single mothers?” Whoopi Goldberg inquired.
After a lengthy tirade, Coulter then took issue with the manner in which Hollywood is portraying women having children out of marriage.
“It’s the new thing, as opposed to the sex tape,” Coulter said of single moms. “Hollywood, mainstream media, the New York Times, women’s magazines, exalting single motherhood, movie after movie about single motherhood, book after book, sisters are doing it for themselves.”
Goldberg stopped Coulter’s rampage against single moms, asking, “Are you married? Do you have kids?”
“No, but it wouldn’t change the difference of the facts I cite,” Coulter said, referring to the claims she makes in her book.
“Well, it would,” Goldberg countered. “If you had children, you would know more of what you’re talking about.”
The talk took a particularly awkward turn when Coulter accused Walters of reading her book like it was something Adolf Hitler had written.
“I’ve never heard my book read aloud, like you’re reading Mein Kampf, and I just did,” Coulter told Walters, referring to Hitler’s manifesto. “Read it like you’re reading Mein Kampf again!”
“I don’t think I did,” Walters said.
“I think you did,” Coulter snapped. “You spat out the words, like I wasn’t sitting here.”
“I don’t appreciate the way you’re talking to her,” Sherri Shepherd told Coulter defending Walters. “Nobody is attacking you. You don’t have to talk to her like that!”
