Ann Coulter Blames Single Moms for Rape, Murder

Ann Coulter a "tar baby" for the "liberal media," and she ends up laughing all the way to the bank. She would disappear if TV didn't love the ratings she brings for these pathetic daytime shows. It is this irony that I find as intriguing as her ideas.

The simple fact here is that there is bad parenting being done everyday by both single parents and married parents. You shouldn't say it's all the single parents that is the cause, because honestly it's not. I married a guy that was nice for once, I ended up pregnant and was fine with that... Then he started to emotionally abuse me and almost physcially (he had both parents btw), I didn't make a bad choice at all... I made the right choice to leave. Why should people stay with someone that turns out to be completely different than they originally were? Why should single mothers be blamed just because they stepped up when others stepped back? I was raised by a single mom of four. She did one heck of a job. She took what life gave her and did a lot better than anyone ever thought. She now makes more money than most women do in this world. The fact is, simply everyone has a choice in their lives. The bad people... they are just bad by their choice... Nobody is to blame for that except for themselves. Why can't everyone just see that. Their is bad people around that have both parents that raised them right or by a single parent that raised them right. Just because you are a single parent doesn't mean your child is going to end up being bad. It all goes to parenting and how you do it, but also how that persons soul is. If they want to be bad, then they will and there is nothing you can do about that.

Coulter supports all of her assertions with FACTS...STATISTICS.

The single highest level of irresponsibility and selfishness as a human being is to bring new life into the world when you cannot adequately support yourself.

Having children is NOT a "right". It's a privilege- an EARNED privilege.

Last year, the Maryland NAACP released a report concluding that "the ready access to a lifetime of welfare and free social service programs is a major contributory factor to the crime problems we face today."(1) Their conclusion appears to be confirmed by academic research. For example, research by Dr. June O'Neill's and Anne Hill for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed that a 50 percent increase in the monthly value of combined AFDC and food stamp benefits led to a 117 percent increase in the crime rate among young black men.(2)

Welfare contributes to crime in several ways. First, children from single-parent families are more likely to become involved in criminal activity. According to one study, children raised in single-parent families are one-third more likely to exhibit anti-social behavior.(3) Moreover, O'Neill found that, holding other variables constant, black children from single- parent households are twice as likely to commit crimes as black children from a family where the father is present. Nearly 70 percent of juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes, as do 43 percent of prison inmates.(4) Research indicates a direct correlation between crime rates and the number of single-parent families in a neighborhood.(5)

"Research indicates a direct correlation between crime rates and the number of single-parent families in a neighborhood."

If you actually knew anything, you'd know that correlation may or may not have anything to do with causation. And if you'd ever spent a day any of the neighborhoods these kids grow up in, you might start to understand something about causation.

I don't understand why Coulter vilifies single moms - aren't they single because their husbands left them? Shouldn't the blame be placed at the men's feet?

And her saying that Obama was never asked any questions of substance is ridiculous! He campaigned for 21 months, presenting his ideas and plans with plenty of detail.

Her tactic is to just lie while acting it's the truth. She's weird and sick - a textbook case of transferring her own self-loathing onto everyone she disagrees with.

Wow- she rears her ugly head yet again. If she were not so vile, I would really pity her. I imagine it is very lonely to be constantly spewing hate because I know that it is impossible to hurt others without hurting oneself as well. She seems to use hatred not only to draw attention to herself (histrionic personality disorder?) but to use as a shield to keep people away. Who could love someone like that? This woman has never been married, does not appear to be able to maintain a relationship and has no children. What a lonely life that must be despite all the so called "fame" and "success."
As for the single mother comments, clearly there is statistical manipulation- where is the research backing this nonsense up? Some mothers are single due to choice, some are widowed and sometimes with the greatest of intentions, a marriage or relationship doesn't last. Let's all just stop the judging....and in the words of Rodney King, "can't we all just get along? Good comments from everyone.

She's ridiculous! I'm tired of people putting the blame on this or on that or this person or that person (Keith Olbermann being one) and then never saying what they are going to do about it, or what should be done to improve things. I'm a single mother..I made mistakes when I was younger..I've moved on, I work full-time, I teach my children to be respectful and I also happen to have children who take AP classes despite the fact that their mother is not very well educated. Why put blame ANYWHERE if you are not going to talk about solutions. And Obama supports need to stop talking about Bush..LETS move on..there's nothing we can do about the past..lets just focus on the future! and one more thing.. Keith Olbermann and Ann Coulter are the same difference. ((if that makes any sense)).

Jesus, you know she's putting those words out to gain a bit of attention for herself and the book, but at what cost? If she actually gave a dam* about the issue, which she obviously doesn't, she wouldn't a.) use such pejorative language in describing citizens of the US and their progeny, and b.) would make an actual useful, constructive statement now and then. This is just hate porno. I don't even understand why some editor or content manager would think this is even entertaining - if she was at least funny or mustered an original insight now and then I could see her value. But not this baloney.

This woman seems to be a very angry, bitter and lonely person who is in desperate need of some kind of attention. She obtains it by denigrating and using scandalous criticism towards others; while she makes use of unfounded and fabricated statements she alleges to know about.
Her scholastic and professional backgrounds as well as public exposures have not provided this woman with proper etiquette.
We all know that proper manners are learned at home. We all know that a proper lady knows how to talk using the proper tone of voice even while leading an argument or a discussion especially in public.
A proper lady knows how to dress, and how to wear the hair so that it looks tidy, and specifically a lady knows how to sit down.
When these basic manners are not taught at home then any intelligent professional would attend the school of etiquette.
Once you read what it is written about her early and personal life as well as her career you will understand where all her madness and psychosis come from.

There's this huge misconception that all single parents are mothers, who've had children when they were teens and it honestly makes me sick! Single parent homes are now on the rise; there is an estimated 14 million single parent homes in the US (up from 12.9 mill just two years ago!) It is estimate that there are about 750,000 teenage pregnancies of the approximated 4-6 million babies born a year.Single parents come from divorce, unplanned pregnancies and sometimes even because many choose to be single parents. There have even been recent drug surveys and crime statistics that show that there isn't a huge difference in drug/alcohol abuse and crime between those who were born into single parent homes and those who have two parents! The fact of the matter is that she's just adding on to the negative stereotype of single parenthood, something those parents will never escape. No matter how hard they try, there is always someone there to downplay their efforts and abilities. I understand what she is coming from, that this is the way the single parents are perceived, but single parents have come a long way. A lot has changed from even 10 years ago.
