Herb of The Week



Car and Drivers made a fool out of Ann Coulter this year (as if that's hard)!
According to Media Matters, The site posted a story declaring that President Obama had ordered Chrysler and GM to cease participation in NASCAR as it was an "unnecessary expenditure". The article was printed (according to the C&D,) with the intention of being an April
Fool's Day joke.

At least one person was fooled. Coulter, lashed out against Obama and his alleged order in her column, saying: If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an "unnecessary expenditure," isn't having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan "jihads" also an "unnecessary expenditure"? Are all those school condom purchases considered "necessary expenditures"?

When I read this paragraph, the first thing that came to mind was "What public schools force students to follow Islamic Prayers and plan Jihads?" I have never heard of such a school. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, so please, let me know about all schools forcing American Students into the Jihad (Comments on a Huntington Post Story on this topic asked the same question, perhaps we are both clueless, if said examples do exist please send them my way).

Leave it to Ann Coulter to turn any topic into an assault on Muslims....Which relates to the auto business how? Her Column further attacks her other favorite enemy's-"undocumented aliens" and how much of an unnecessary expenditure they cost America. ::Rolls eyes::: After reading the passage that MM posted from Coulter's column, I was surprised to see no mention of single mothers (according to Coulter they too, like Muslims and Immigrants are the cause of all the wrong in the world), perhaps I just missed it. I swear, this woman can turn any issue into a racist attack on Muslims and immigrants.

I didn't realize NASCAR had such a fan in Ann Coulter.

I can forgive her for being fooled, but her response was just foolish.

Media Matters also reported that Car and Driver later edited the article and reposted it as joke. It has since been removed.

i think the PR manager of Car and Driver might have been on vacation or sleeping on the job when that Nascar April Fool's article was published
