Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how idiotic InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.<\/font><\/p>\n

Nicest woman on TV suggests we deny citizenship to blind people and people in wheelchairs.<\/h6>\n

\"Coultergeist\"Oh joy, the aforementioned bile-spewing hatemonger Ann Coulter has written another book, and that can only mean one thing: book tour.!!! The book is about immigration, and it will probably surprise no one that Coulter does not think much of that glorious American institution. We\u2019re not going to give you the name of the book because if you buy it, we\u2019ll have to shoot ourselves.<\/p>\n

Coulter called in to Simon Conway\u2019s talk radio show [hate monger delinked<\/em>] in Iowa one day this week and curiously the conversation turned to the subject of Coulter’s unnamed book, citizenship requirements and naturalization ceremonies.<\/p>\n

Cruella de Coulter told Conway that she disapproves of the exception to the English-language requirement for naturalized citizens for certain older people who have been legal residents for decades<\/a>. If they don’t know English, she said they don\u2019t \u201clove this country.\u201d Off with their heads, deport them. Something.<\/p>\n

She also objects to making accommodations for citizenship applicants with disabilities. She is literally turning into a cartoon of herself. Her words:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe INS has waived the English-language requirements for many immigrants, and it\u2019s not just \u2014 that obviously goes to the heart of it, are you switching allegiance, do you love this country? \u2014 but beyond that, how about the wheelchair-only section? How about the section for the blind? Look, wish these people well, but we\u2019re not running an international charity here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I bet the thought of discrimination against disabled people had the Coultergeist’s Adam’s apple bobbing at record setting speed. This is only the fifth of five idiotic Republican moments from last week alone. Click through for the other four.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
