Ann Coulter is once again dead on in this piece (Obama Was Selected, Not Elected) pointing out glaring Liberal hypocrisy (Is there any other kind?):

Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago.

When Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 election by half a percentage point, but lost the Electoral College — or, for short, “the constitutionally prescribed method for choosing presidents” — anyone who denied the sacred importance of the popular vote was either an idiot or a dangerous partisan.

But now Hillary has won the popular vote in a Democratic primary, while Obambi has won under the rules. In a spectacular turnabout, media commentators are heaping sarcasm on our plucky Hillary for imagining the “popular vote” has any relevance whatsoever.

Go read the rest of it. Highly entertaining and humorous.

Read it last night.
She is the goddess of liberal needling.

Ann Coulter is the goddess of ultra-conservative idiocy…her fifteen minutes were up long ago when it became obvious that even she doesn’t believer her own schtick anymore.

The fact that she actually penned the phrase “the great augusto pinochet” without a trace of irony should be enough to set off anybody’s bullshit detector.

Jesus, three paragraphs two lies?

In 2000, it was not the popular vote that was the source of Democratic objections- it was Bush’s use of the courts to overturn Florida election law and prevent the votes from being counted in Florida.

Sure, there are objections to the undemocratic nature of the electoral college but that wasn’t the basis Gore’s case in Bush v. Gore.

In contrast, it preposterous to use the popular vote as any sort of measure of the will of the voter in the primaries; each state can set it’s own voting laws, completely undermining any notion of one person, one vote. Some states allow independents to vote in the Democratic primary and some even allow Republicans to vote- actions that clearly inflate turnout.

Ultimately, it is a matter of changing the rules in the middle of the game- Obama had a strategy of maximizing delegates not the popular vote. And that’s what won the race for him.

it was Bush’s use of the courts to overturn Florida election law and prevent the votes from being counted in Florida.

I call Bullshit.
You should read more.

And Ann is a goddess.

Note the name of the case: Bush v. Gore (Plaintant, George W. Bush)

Duly noted, but you still should read more.
Try “At Any Cost” by Bill Sammon, go to google book search, and refer to page 255, where the SCOTUS ruling is found, a 7-2 decision that the Florida Supremes were acting unconstitutionally, but a 5-4 ruling on the remedy, as the two liberals that could not disagree with the decision, still held out hope that a remedy for the Florida recount could be made in six days.
I’m always amazed at how myths turn into fact so quickly, by liberals.

And?

If the Supreme Ct. found fault with the procedures of the Florida Supreme Court how the fuck is the next rational step to stop counting legally cast votes?

Why the fuck don’t you read more, instead of asking asinine questions and promoting myths of the LLL?

Your insinuations that I have written something untrue ring a little hollow when you don’t bother to point to any alleged error.

Your responses are hollow because you don’t know what you are talking about. I’ve done as much as I am going to, by siting book and page number. If you chose not to read, and remain ignorant of facts, and believe in myths, then that’s your choice. Just know that there are those who don’t buy that BS you are selling. You pretend to debate, but all you do is a circle jerk.

Wow, you have a heightened notion of your understanding of the issue.

I don’t care if the remedy found by the Florida Supreme Court was constitutional or not- I probably would have voted with the 7 justices that the Florida Supreme Court did not find an appropriate recount procedure. The relevant ruling was the cessation of the recount and the abdication of the court’s responsibility to provide equal protection of the law to each voter in Florida.

Circle Jerk.
The myth lives on with it’s deceit.

I urge everyone to rent or buy the documentary “Orwell Rolls In His Grave”. You’ll never take any pundit’s word on anything ever again. I’m curious as to what ever happen to freedom of thought? We’re a nation of lemings - going right, left, or wandering somewhere in the clifts of the middle.

Got something you want to say?
