Ann Coulter is A-Ok Flying With Black Female Pilots…We Think

Much of the internet and social media outlets were abuzz the past couple of days with links to an article telling the tale of Ann Coulter refusing to fly aboard an American Airlines flight after learning the pilot was an African-American female.

Posted on the DailyCurrant.com on Tuesday, the outrageous story of both racism and sexism claims that the conservative political personality was getting cozy in her Business Class seat when she caught a glimpse of the pilot, and not only objected to her sex and skin color, but launched into a tirade to other passengers that their safety was in jeopardy. She was then questioned by authorities, who decided to not file any charges against her.

The article spread like wildfire on Twitter, Facebook, and an obscure site called “Google+”, all blasting Coulter for the evil woman that they knew she was all along. The only problem is that…it wasn’t true. The article gained so much steam that folklore debunker Snopes made their own post to point out what should have been obvious; the article is fake.

The Daily Currant’s own ‘About’ page clearly states that their articles are purely satirical, though they are intended to cover relevant, true to life topics. It is sure that, had this story been true, it would have made front page headlines faster than Ann Coulter arming herself at a gun show.

So regardless of your political leanings, don’t use this as an example in your next anti-Ann debate. Although, at the time of publishing, Ann Coulter was unavailable to comment on her actual views on pilots of various races and genders.

    I think without a direct refute to the statement by Coulter herself it is impossible to say what the truth is. If someone had made a statement of such outrageous behavior by a public personality, I suspect that they would refute it quickly and very publicly. We’re waiting.

    Whether the story is true or not, the fact remains that 99% of the literate public BELIEVE it because Ann Coulter’s image is so slimy. Truth be told, on her BEST day – educated attorney or not – Ann Coulter is not half as intelligent, analytical, or logical as this African-American female pilot is on her worse day. Which is probably the crux of her annoyance…

    Ann Coulter’s racist, bigoted mindset – and all that follow her – make me question the lack of evolution of THEIR race. If they have not smartened up over the last
    100 years and still think the same identical way that they did 100 years ago –
    even though time has proven that ALL HUMANS ARE BIOLOGICALLY THE SAME – then you really have to wonder how small and stunted their brains really are. I think some government funded research is in
    order here.

    Ann’s got too much upstairs for that. This “story” is not worth the dignity.

    So we should applaud her for not being hateful for one day out of her life?
