Conservative lunatic Ann Coulter had this to say today on CNN:

"It's hard to take treats away from people...yes, it's very hard to take the treats away once you start giving them away."

The "treats" she's referring to are Social Security and Medicare, two of the only existing social programs in the United States that allow elderly people to have guaranteed income and access to medical care. Keeping elderly people out of poverty and in some semblance of good health are "treats."

What in God's name is wrong with these people? And more importantly, why the fuck does an outrageous, offensive, inhuman comment like this go unchallenged by the show's host, Fareed Zakaria? He only asked her if it would "work." Why didn't he ask her what sort of human being thinks that such undeniable necessities are mere "treats?"

Zakaria shouldn't have had her on in the first place, unless the topic of the show was "Scumbags Who Are Destroying America To Get Rich." The woman is a screeching publicity whore who's only interested in plying her repulsive shtick to line her pockets. She has no intellect other than a grifter's cunning, and no real knowledge of anything, especially not of politics, the economy, or the most basic fundamentals of human decency. It's abominable that Zakaria and others keep legitimizing people like her.
