Loading ...Last night’s Hannity & Colmes opened with a segment on Rage Against The Machine singer Zack De La Rocha’s Coachella proclamation that the current Presidential administration “should be hung, and tried, and shot.” That soundbite allowed the show to book a bit that featured Ted Nugent referring to Rage as a bunch of “dopey, hippy rock ‘n’ roll numb nuts” and the praying mantis-like pundette Ann Coulter, who seemed to be trying out for the long-canceled rock-critic throwdown Four On The Floor:
COULTER: I’m not painting them as liberals. I’ll paint them as losers. You know, I missed the VH1 special “I Love the ’90s.” I missed this whole thing. Who cares about them? Has anybody checked in with Flock of Seagulls to see what their position is on Bush?
COULTER: They’re not very attractive.
COLMES: You don’t like any of those guys?
COULTER: I’m seeing them right now.
COLMES: Are you looking for a boyfriend?
COULTER: Not in that crew.
COLMES: You would rather talk about a nude but growing cuter polar bear than Rage Against the Machine.
COULTER: And, by the way, they are also very unfamiliar with D.C. gun laws if they think they can shoot the president, because no guns allowed.
COLMES: All right, but do you really believe — just like you say a lot of crazy, outrageous things you don’t really believe, you don’t believe that they really mean that, do you?
COULTER: I don’t know. I don’t know anything about them, like most Americans. They broke up like 10 years ago. One guy tried — I e-mailed one of my friends at MTV to find out who they even are. She said they broke up. The solo guy tried a career for seven years, bombed completely, and now, you know, [they're] really all looking forward to the Van Halen reunion.
Wait–so now De La Rocha is replacing Diamond Dave? Guess they wanted to get as far away from Gary Cherone as possible.
Rage Against Bush [foxnews.com]
who’s ann coulter?
Not very attractive? Damn, I think Tom Morello is the sexiest man in rock ‘n roll.
@heidiho: Consider the source.
just like you say a lot of crazy, outrageous things you don’t really believe
I did like how this went unchallenged.
Speaking of “dopey, hippy rock ‘n’ roll numb nuts,” Coulter just happens to be a Deadhead, seriously.
@maura: True. I shudder to think who she considers attractive.
There fans are losers.
Did Anne Coulter call me a loser?
hahahahahahahahahha she isn’t worth commenting on other than to laugh. this is priceless.
Um, Rage didn’t “threaten” the administration.
They said, in their opinion, they should be ‘hung, tried and shot’ like the war criminals they are.
How is that threatening? It’s called an opinion, CuntAnn…
Ms. Coulter contacted someone at MTV to investigate the doings of a rock band. Do they even have a music department?
I never thought I could be jealous of la Coulter, but to not know who Rage is? I’ll take some of that cultural isolation.
And, strangely, she used to date that SOY BOMB dude.
Mebbe.
Poor Gary Cherone, he can’t even catch a break in a post about RATM…
His entire career with Extreme was eradicated by being involved in one highly questionable record…
She doesn’t think he’s attractive cuz he isn’t a WASP from Connecticut.
Can she just get assassinated already?
that show makes me feel nauseous
she’s got it all wrong, RATM fans aren’t losers, it’s the band that are a bunch of dopes.
I feel a little like Stan and Kyle at the end of the South Park Terri Schiavo episode: “Cartman is right, but for the wrong reasons.”
Plastic Aisle – Oh no, we can’t assassinate her, that would make her a martyr to the cause. But fear not, she cannot be attractive to republicans forever, as soon as they cannot fill their masturbatory thoughts with images of Ann Coulter’s penis because she’s too old and wrinkly, she will fade back into the obscurity from whence she came.
She makes a good point, though – has anyone checked to see what Flock of Seagulls thinks about Bush? We need to be fair and balanced about this.
So they’re going to focus on one statement from the show, but not the trustifarians that were burning the flag from all the AP photos?
You’d think that would be a better hot button issue for Fox News, but whatever.
BTW, I was parked next to some of the flag burning kids. Parked right next to their BMWs and Audis. Read into that what you will.
HANGED, for Christ’s sake, HANGED.
Anne Colter is hot!
I feel a little like Stan and Kyle at the end of the South Park Terri Schiavo episode: “Cartman is right, but for the wrong reasons.”
Truer words etc.
What a hag.
Ann Coulter, defender of District of Columbia Home Rule and DC Gun Law: “And, by the way, they are also very unfamiliar with D.C. gun laws if they think they can shoot the president, because no guns allowed.”
I’m telling you all we need to do is throw a bucket of water on her, and she’ll go away. Well it worked for Dorothy…
…..Gary Cherone did a fabulous job on that VH III album. Period. It’s the most diverse, interesting music recorded under the VH name. And for once, we had vanHalen lyrics that were above pre-teen little boy-level.
…..Still, working with a 24/7 drunk, temperamental guitar player proved to be impossible, I guess.
Well of course Anne doesn’t listen to Rage Against the Machine, trannys are much more into dance music.
And the best part is looking at Anne dealing with the fact that she is considered the same as ever freak on the left with an opinion to share. She so wants to think of herself as something more, and yet, for some reason, all people consider is what she actually says. Go fig.
@AcidReign: Gary, is that you?
…..No, I wish I had Cherone’s vocal chops, though! I do admit to being an Extreme fanboy from way back, though!
Rage & Van Halen in the same story? that’s so 2001

btw, the edwards campaign hq just got another suspicious package dripping white powder, so mann coulter is, as usual, in error.
Whoa, Ann Coulter is 45? I was just about to write something to the effect of “How can someone in their 30’s not know RATM? I don’t listen to rap but I know who Nas is.” And then I found out she’s 45. Which makes a bit more sense now. Flock of Seagulls WAS her RATM. Think about that!
By the way, I think taking the whole “I’ve never heard of them, who cares what they say” argument is really the most childish tactic to use. I wonder why she didn’t finish with “I know you are, but what am I?”
So glad that there is more than just me who liked Cherone in Van Halen AND Extreme.
I got about 30 seconds into that and spared myself the torture. That panel is a circle of douchebags.
…..I was considering booking an appointment for my ears next morning. Thanks, JDR! VH III was a CD out of it’s proper time in history, I think. To men, it’s still quite enjoyable, and nicely preserved in it’s cookie-tin.
,,,,,EVH is a brilliant guitarist, even given his of-late sorry state. Evidence: the “Catharine” entry at Youtube. Let’s enjoy while he lasts, and mourn his likely early demise.
@RepentTokyo: Wow, for a moment I just imagined a beautiful world.
Towards the end she asks for a republican attack on a democratic campaign headquarters. I don’t know, but the Watergate Scandal, the scandal which pretty much desroyed presidential reputation, seems to be a pretty big one…just sayin’. Maybe it’s not destroying it, but it certainly did a lot more long-term damage.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain how you can have a trial with presumably dead defendants. Or will they merely hang them till they lose conciousness and black out, later reviving them for the trial and eventual shooting?
“Hanged, and tried, and shot”
Isn’t this out of order?
I love how Coulter name-drops David Horowitz. Likening yourself to a prominent Holocaust denier (a Jewish Holocaust denier!) is always a smart move.
@coreyander: honestly, one of the benefits of living outside the US is not knowing who these people are.
Stylus revisits the first fifty Sarah Records releases:Another Sunny Day returns with “I’m In Love With A Girl Who Doesn’t Know I Exist,” the track Sarah detractors would often cite as Exhibit A in their case against the label’s proclivity for sad bastard pop.
I believe fox edited that video so it would look like Zach said “Hung, tried, and shot” whereas he actually said “Tried, hung, and shot”. Just comes to show you how full of shit that station is…
I believe fox edited Zach’s quote so that he said “Hung, tried, and shot” whereas originally the quote was “Tried, hung, and shot”. Nonetheless the entire panel took it completely out of proportion and said things that were completely uncalled for. I hate these people. It’s incredible how full of shit they are.
Coulter: “These people are animals and it’s not helping the Democrat’s P.R. campaign to look like civilized people”
But, the war in Iraq is doing wonders for the Republicans to exhibit their humanity!
