(CNN) - Conservative political commentator Ann Coulter’s 15-minute address at CPAC played more like a stand-up comedy act than a political speech.
Coulter delivered line after line of jabs at President Obama, the Democratic Party and the media – each met with roaring laughter from the crowd.
The commentator – who is no stranger to controversy – first went after MSNBC, calling the hosts the “alternative prom crowd.”
Pointing to recent comparisons of Obama to Jesus and Abraham Lincoln, Coulter said the media has turned from being the people’s watchdog to the “government guard dog.”
“Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t see Lincoln text messaging with Scarlet Johansson … and I forget, how many times did Lincoln vote present?” she said, to much applause.
Coulter likened members of the media and Democrats to parents “gushing” over a newborn baby.
“Having pulled off their rather mediocre 53 percent to 46 percent victory, liberals can’t stop boasting about their new baby boy,” she said.
She said it was interesting that Obama’s “adorers” in the media compare him to Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, because, “apparently they can’t think of a Democratic president worthy of being compared to.”
“If [Obama] thinks people wanted change in 2009, wait until 2012,” she said.
Coulter has a long history of making controversial comments about politicians. Following her appearance at the 2007 CPAC, multiple companies asked to pull their ads from her Web site after she used what some observers called an anti-gay slur to describe then-Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.
She was also at odds with Sen. John McCain during the campaign season, saying "John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism, which he definitely is - he is bad for the country."

Weren't conservatives always saying the president must be respected, especially during a crisis?
Where's that so-called "respect" now?
What's nice is that this female is really nice looking!
What's sad is that she has zero brains!
Much less – common sense!
Hey, the GOP will put Sarah and Ann up against Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie O'Donnell any time in a pole dance contest.
Coultergeist, the Comedian Rush Limbaugh, Billo the Clown, Michelle Malkin!!!
This truly is what the Republican party has become. Insensitive, intolerant, race baiting, immigrant and gay bashing, tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts, party of NO. Like to put the minorities up front as their tokens.
Problem is, we will vote for them again. We have short memories.
You can always tell when people are afraid of other people's views, they do not have the courtesy to allow them to speak . I guess when you aren't part of the "in" crowd you are labeled one of them.
Blonde bimbo?loser?With all this attention she,s getting ,she,s NO LOSER!Lighten up,the woman is obviously succeeding......getting the rest of you all fired up.She,s hilarious,smart and knows exactly what she,s doing......where is your sense of humour......
The same goes for you Ann,Do you have a family ?how can you talk so stupid and hateful about people I can't hardly wait for 2012 to help Obama win again.
These people dont know how to do anything but be nasty, spread hate-filled propaganda and incite cultural warfare.
Quit complaining....you had 8 years of near total control and look at the disaster that your policies have brought us.....good riddance.
She talks the most and says the least.....she is like a clanging symbol, yet the other idiots in the party flock to her.........by the way, does she have an adams apple????? Is she transgender? Just curious.
What a disgusting woman! Too bad her jaw is not still wired (shut).
I just figured out how to eliminate porn...have Miss Ann do a movie!
Tom Delay, Newt Gingrich, Boehner, McConnell, Rush, Coulter, Malkin, Hannity, Jindall, Palin, Sanford, Pawlenty, Demint
What a lineup. More of that? I think not
While watching this Conservative Convention today, I couldn't help but think how mean spirited these people came across. Just reaffirms why I am a Democrat.
Ann Coulter is the DEVIL. From here mouth speys nothing but hate and bias remarks that are neither true or newsworthy. Yet the repugs soak up her and rush as they are the annoited ones.
I can't stand Anne Coulter and her extremist, paranoid beliefs, but a lot of her criticisms of the administration and the media are surprisingly dead-on
Ann and Rush have the communistson the run!
Sarah's half-sister Annie Belle!
WOW.... I can tell where all the stupid liberals get their news from..
Another idiot for the party of bigots and liars.... may the republican party fall on their faces... your done
She is always wearing across around her neck. She professes to being a practicing christian, yet they are so mean and hateful.
Coulter and Hannity – shame on you – you give christians and church going people a bad name.
We love you Ann!
Do you guys ever report anything positive on Democrats? You know, the people in power now. The ones who kicked your beloved Republicans out of office. The ones with the high approval ratings as opposed to these bozos you're covering so lovingly.
What kind of journalist do we have in this country? Apparently the only thing you know how to cover at all after 8 years is Republicans and their silliness. They are now IRRELEVANT!!! Even Boehner knows it when he told his people on the Hill that they are no longer legislators since they can do absolutely nothing about anything in the Congress. Nothing at all. Why are you still covering all these IRRELEVANT bozos? Can you not find a single Democrat who will talk to you?
Do we have a racist moderator in the house?
Okay, so Ann is often over the top – even sometimes a bit offensive to those on the left. But hey, we've got Ann and the Obama-whackos have Rachel Maddow. Both can be terribly annoying to the other side. But at least Ann is way easier on the eyes!
Hey, worshippers of the Great Osambo Mambo: what, you think Joy Behar, "Catherine the Great" Couric, Rose O Fat O Donnell, Miz Griffin, Whoopie (no whoop), with all their sarcastic, bombastic, insulting drivel is anything less than what Ann does? Sorry, friends, it's worse. At least Ann will occasionally direct you to some proper sources, questions and philosophical thought. The others are just public puppets of poisened pus pocket Princess Pelosi. I admit that Ann needs to occasionally tone it down, but she finds it so easy to bait your little minds and big mouths, we find it laughable. What, you want everyone to be civil and be your friends? We've yet to see you do the same. By the way, the average conservative really doesn't notice her looks. . . . .really. We actually lust after the bimbo Dems hoping to conquer them.
