I Don’t Hate America!

Ann Coulter, the outspoken conservative pundit has stated she would vote for and campaign for Hillary Clinton if John McCain gets the Republican nomination.  Here is the recent YouTube video from the Hannity & Colmes show that caused this news to spread:

This is the same Ann Coulter that made harsh comments about Bill and Hillary Clinton in a January 10th, 2002 New York Observer interview with George Gurley.  Courtesy Media Matters.

[Gurley] Do you have a perverse admiration for her [Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY)]?

[Coulter] “Ewwww, no. As with John Kerry, I generally don’t admire people who get ahead on somebody else’s coattails. She’s like the anti-feminist. No, except she isn’t — because all feminists behave that way and pretend to be, ‘Oh, I’m a strong woman.’ They’re all weak and pathetic.”

[Gurley] What should we remember about Bill Clinton?

[Coulter] “Well, he was a very good rapist. I think that should not be forgotten.”

 Clinton thinks it is rather funny and probably doesn’t believe it either:



However, Coulter defended her decision to back Clinton in a later interview on Fox:

“I’m a conservative, Neil.  I just have a thing for voting for the more conservative candidate and it’s McCain versus Hillary.”

Is anyone else extremly confused how liberal democrats and conservative republicans (like Coulter) can vote for the same candidate?
