Ann Coulter relished the response to her anti-soccer column in a Monday night appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”

The conservative pundit had marked the occasion of the FIFA World Cup by writing that Americans’ growing interest in soccer could be nothing more than a “sign of the nation’s moral decay.” She further dismissed U.S. soccer fans as a whole, arguing that “if more ‘Americans’ are watching soccer today, it’s only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration law.”

From her perch right outside the Champs-Elysees in Paris, Coulter’s voice dripped with sarcasm as she told host Sean Hannity that she was “on tenterhooks” waiting to see the result of the Germany-Algeria game. She joked that a previous match had ended in an “exhilarating” 1-1 tie that caused riots on the busy shopping avenue.

“And my critics have apparently tried to persuade me that soccer is a macho game by throwing one week of hissy fits over my column,” she added.

Hannity agreed with Coulter that the sport was pretty “monotonous.”

  1. Even more proof she’s just a successful troll. She has no other purpose.

  2. Yay! You aren’t ignoring me!

  3. Bashing immigrants has become a cottage industry. It pays well and no college is needed
    As a matter of fact a college degree is a big negative. Rush, Hannity, prime examples.

  4. Precisely. She was called an idiot by any halfway sensible person who deigned to take any notice at all. But to her and her niche market of believe-anything mouth-breathers, it all feels like validation.

  5. Ann Coulter Is Giddy That Critics Are Still Paying Attention To Her.

    Fixed it.
