Ann Coulter Talking Rubbish

A friend of mine who has dual citizenship enlisted in the Canadian army to avoid getting drafted by the US. In the Canadian army he was one of 500 Canadian soldiers in Vietnam sent in advisor capacity. Although officially they were not there for combat, individuals did engage in going along on patrols and manning guns on helicopters.

Even so Coulter seems to be exagerating this at best.

These two always get it wrong, what else is new?

she's kinda right, but mostly wrong - a few things to ponder:

-approx. 10,000 canadian men enlisted in the us military and fought in vietnam
-in 1973, the canadian gov't sent canadian troops to vietnam for operation gallant, under the auspices of the iccs
-the silly bitch's point appears to be that canada-us relations were better in that period, which is true as we know that while attempting to appear impartial, canada at that time was supplying intel and war materiel to the us and south vietnam - this even included the development, testing, and manufacture of agent orange at cfb gagetown, nb

Ann is unsually right on and it shows your ignorance to make a big deal on one statement.

Canada as a nation never sent troops to Vietnam, but Canadians did in fact join the US Army and serve in that theatre:

“Concurrent with the draft dodging and defections to Canada an estimated 10,000 Canadians joined the U.S. military and fought with the Americans in Vietnam, and several thousand more Canadians joined and served with the U.S. military but did not fight in Vietnam. 110 Canadians died in Vietnam and seven remain listed as Missing in Action. Many of these were Canadians who had long lived in the United States, Canadians with US citizenship who were drafted or had previously served in the U.S., and out-of-work soldiers who had been the victims of recent government cutbacks. Still others volunteered because of ideological or moral support of the American war effort.[1] This cross border enlistment was not unusual: in both World War I and World War II tens of thousands of Americans had joined the Canadian forces while their homeland was still neutral. Canadian Peter C. Lemon won the U.S. Medal of Honor for his valour in the conflict.

In Windsor, Ontario, there is a small, privately funded monument to the Canadians killed in the Vietnam War.”

This guy is playing word games. During the years 1954 to 1975 Canada served on 2 international truce commissions and provided medical supplies and technical assistance. Canadian diplomats were involved in negotiations between Washington and Hanoi and successive Canadian governments, both Liberal and Conservative, maintained that Ottawa was an impartial and objective peacekeeper, an innocent and helpful bystander negotiating for peace and administering aid to victims of the war. However, Cabinet papers, confidential stenographic minutes of the truce commissions as well as top-secret American government cables revealed Canada to be a willing ally of US counter insurgency efforts.

While Canada did not directly send its own troops to Vietnam, it did supply aid and allowed the US to test weapons (such as Agent Orange) on its own soil. They also aided the French there previously. Some 3k to 10k Canadian men (at the same time a number of US citizens were fleeing to Canada) came to the US and enlisted to go to Vietnam.

referring to Ann Koulter, except that she does not have one. She actually has two assholes, three if you count her mouth.

My brother in law, from Montreal, joined the Marines and fought in Vietnam. He was blown up and recovered in the U.S. He married a girl from Boston and lived there for the rest of his life. He had two kids who are Americans. When he died a couple years ago, he was given full military honors.

typical blonde loooool

...Canada did not send any combat troops directly, but they had operatives working with the CIA and a healthy diplomatic contingent in South Vietnam. Canada sent large amount s of medical supplies and aide to US and South Vietnamese troops and they supported US action in the conflict. So, Ann is that that far off base and is certainly not "dumb."

She knows her S**t .

s**t!

S**t !!

For an American political commentator and author, she's pretty dumb. She really needs to brush up on her history before she attempts to even open her mouth.

Shes a dopey bitch that is always wrong.

Just stay home with the French and second quess until it's to late.

1) They now have a very conservative government that is VERY friedly to Bush and his policies, and in fact were chosen to host the Bilderberg conference.

2) www.spp.org -- the US and Canada (as well as mexico) have already signed an agreement to act as ONE DISCRETE economic entity and trading partner, effectively uniting us under one economic banner... and I don't mean NAFTA... I am talking about an alliance like the EU.

Coulter's point therefore, is complete bullshit. Canada was a marginal ally if at all during VietNam, and was never open about involvement... whereas NOW of all times, Canada is an ally in the war on Terror, Drugs, and emergency planning against Bird Flu.

Coulter is one of those people who spew out attack verbage for the sole purpose of selling books. She attacks the wives of the 911 victims ruthlessly, and non apologetically, only because of their political affiliation. When the same 'tactics' the wives use is done by 'her' party (laughable because intelligent conservatives avoid her like plague), she ignores them or defends them.

Coulter's version of 'fact checking' involves whatever ad hominem attack fits the point she is trying to make at the moment, regarless of the actual (or factual) relevence.

I honestly feel she should do something about her attitude and adams apple.

idiot jumping on the anit-liberal bandwagon to make a $ and get her rocks off.

we got your message!!! six times. Enough already. The battle we did on our own that made the world a better place, was the third time you tried to invade Canada. That last time, we burned your White House. So sit on it!!!

i'd fock her

and her comments still seem really strange. She was trying to make the point that Canada and the US used to cooperate on military missions, and she used the example of the Vietnam War. This was wrong, but excusable. I can understand how an American could get confused about which wars Canada did or did not participate in. However, when the reporter corrected her and then listed examples of wars in which Canada did participate, why didn't she just back down? Her point (That Canada and the US used to act as allies) was still validated by the examples the reporter gave, so why did she make a big deal about the Vietnam War? If she had just said "Oh, my mistake, I must have been misinformed about Vietnam" it would have been no big deal. Instead she made herself look like an idiot. Weird.

:)

when will you learn to STFU? Alas, probably never...

the ignorance of this typical right-wing republican idiot is mind-blowing. Each and every time she opens her mouth, her foot goes in deeper and deeper. She is the true definition of a moron. Oh, and by the way, Ann Coulter, Canada does NOT need the U.S. to survive...

The right wing makes up "facts' as they go along knowing most of us are too unaware or lazy to check them. Then when they get caught, they deny ever saying it. Saddest of all, thousands will believe her because she's on TV and agrees with their own prejudices.

for one thing, F**king . and even then, i bet she would get old quickly. i would like to grudge F**k the hell out of her. she is kind of pretty, but just pretty enough, and pisses me off enough to have rough sex. just once. then i would throw her out of bed and in the street naked. so then people would point and laugh at her. it is a pity that a woman has to be such a bitch just to get her points across. she is belligerent on every show i have seen her on. she is like bill o'reilly if he was a woman and PMSing 24/7. bitch bitch bitch.

but i bet she comes on Meta cafe and write half the S**t i see on here. """(:)@
