Ron Paul fanatics similar to Justin Bieber fanatics says Ann Coulter

Supporters of a Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul 2012 presidential bid certainly made a statement at CPAC in Washington recently, pushing their candidate to victory in the event’s straw poll, but also booing and heckling former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Such enthusiasm didn’t go unnoticed by conservative author Ann Coulter. On Tuesday’s “Red Eye” on the Fox News Channel, host Greg Gutfeld asked Coulter about pop artist Justin Bieber losing the best new artist Grammy to bassist Esperanza Spalding. She noted that pop music wasn’t her field of expertise, but said Bieber supporters are not unlike Paul supporters.

“First I totally want to thank you on our topics tonight because they are right up my alley, just as a regular US magazine, People magazine and Tiger Beat reader,” Coulter said. “Yeah, I had to look up every topic on Wikipedia tonight to find out what we were even talking about. But, I do want to defend the Justin Bieber fans – yes they’re fanatics and they’re slightly crazy. But at least unlike Ron Paul supporters, they’re still 10 years old.”

Later in the show’s “Halftime Report” segment, the “Red Eye” ombudsman asked Coulter for clarification – that “Ron Paul fans often act like they’re 10 years old.”

“Yes, that is a good point but similar fanaticism,” she replied.

    Let the purges begin! Gays will no longer be allowed to participate because you can’t be gay and conservative. Birthers should be excluded because they’re an embarrassment and give the media ammunition to attack conservatives (as if the media would play nice except for them). Libertarians should shun objectivists because they’re isolationists and thus, not really conservative. Neo-cons should be excluded because they’re war mongers and thus, lovers of more powerful government. Ron Paul supporters are fanatics and superannuated ten-year-olds and isolationists. And the beat goes on.

    After all the people and groups who lack sufficient credibility and ideological purity are excluded CPAC will be able to hold their conventions in a room at the Super 8 and their irrelevance will be well-deserved. Because that Big Tent idea was just silly. Who cares if all these despised groups might vote conservative 80% of the time? It’s how they vote the other 20% that should be cause to exclude them.

    Groucho was right, I wouldn’t want to belong to this organization if it would have me as a member.

    Ron Paul is an idiot isolationist and his followers remind me of Jim Jones and his gang of koolaid drinkers. Total fanatics. CPAC is a joke and their straw poll proves it.

    She’s losing her credibility…now she’s attacking conservatives too. Ron Paul is highly respected by REAL conservatives. He’s the ONLY one in Congress who has stood by his convictions all these years, and the ONLY one who has named the FED the nation-killing vulture that it is. GO, RON PAUL! By the way, Ms. Coulter, I’m one conservative who bypasses your books AND your frequent comments.
