No shocker this comes from our friends from FOX News. dailycurrant.com/2013/05/16/ann-coulter-walks-out-of-star-trek-claims-too-many-minorities/How does a massive franchise make it through half a fucking century without somebody knowing it has minorities in it? I mean, I know Coulter is a professional troll and all, but at least give me some realism in your performance! And holy shit, are people not aware that white people ARE the minority globally? 60% of the world's people are Asian. That's just Asia. Add Africa and South America and that's another 20% leaving about 20% for whitey. So only one out of every 5 people on any given Earth vessel could expect to be white, assuming everything is fair. But I like how even fellow mega-conservative douchebag Hannity was flabbergasted and pointed out that there were still a ton of white people in the movie. But they weren't AMERICAN so they don't count! And how the fuck are Vulcans jewish? Don't people like her practically worship jews? And are all non-whites and all non-Americans automatically liberal and socialist? Good God, what a glorious mess this woman has cooked up. 10/10 troll, Coulter. This is comedy gold.

The Daily Currant is a satirical news site. Hilarious article, though.

Ow wow, I've been had. www.mediaite.com/online/once-again-internet-falls-for-false-story-about-ann-coulter/I actually heard about this from someone at work who claimed to have seen a video of the rant. After seeing what appeared to be several corroborating links, I started this topic. How funny that Coulter has been so consistently outrageous in the past that I was more willing to believe she was trolling harder than ever due to a recent lack of attention than assume that the article was merely hilarious bullshit. But you've got to love her utterly lame response too: “These ‘satire’ sites would work better if their writers had the tiniest ability to be funny”. Please, Ann, do show us how it's done. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ann-coulter-america-hates-hollywood-317007Hilarious. Can't imagine why I thought the Trek one was real.

Aside from the line about "since when can black people speak foreign languages?" I wouldn't put anything in that Daily Currant article past Coulter. It's very believable.

Yeah, that one and the fact that "witnesses" saw her actually cursing at the screen were a little over the top, as was some of the stuff I mentioned in the OP that didn't add up. But it didn't set off enough alarm bells for me to assume it was fake because politics has become that goddamn ridiculous lately and I've had family members actually throw fits over too many minorities on tv. Perfect satire.
