Ann Coulter, Asshole of the Day for February 6, 2015During the State of the Union speech, President Obama called for more subsidies for college, in particular, community colleges. And since Obama is for people getting a college education, suddenly conservatives will have to be against it. And so it’s no surprise that Ann Coulter is leading the charge:Coulter told Florida radio host Joyce Kaufman on Monday that such programs are just a “scam” to “subsidize the most left-wing industry in America, that spends its days indoctrinating kids to hate Republicans.”“And to hate white people,” Kaufman added. “The whole white privilege thing that’s going on there is killing me.”The “whole white privilege thing” that annoys her is the suggestion that people should examine sexism and racism (and other ways that one group gets privileges that another doesn’t). If society today had no more sexism or racism, then examining privilege would be an exercise that would die out quickly. But of course there is still plenty of racism and sexism out there. But she wants us all to ignore that, leave it unexamined. It’s not like these things will disappear if we all stop talking about them, so we can only assume that Ms. Coulter wants them to continue. And for that, she is the Asshole of the Day.It is Ann Coulter’s fifth time as Asshole of the Day. Her previous wins were forsaying Putin was “making a monkey out of Obama”, knowing full well the racist history of that description saying “single women look at the government as their husbands” saying she did not believe these new brown Americans would pay for her social security and Medicaresaying we should “shame poor women” Full story: Right Wing Watch -- source link
