(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."

Another republican noise maker. Listening to her is like listening to white noise.
THE CPAC, THE SO CALLED """""GOOD FOR NOTHING""""" GATHRING SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY HAD NO MATCH FOR BARAK OBAMA IN 2008 AND THAT THEY WILL HAVE NO MATCH IN 2012. ANN COULTER, RUSH LIMBAUGH AND THE ENTIRE GANG OF OLD FASHIONED ""CONSERVATIVES"" CAN KISS GOOD BYE FOREVER. THEY COULD NOT DO IT IN 2008, THEY WILL NOT DO IT IN 2012 AND THEY WILL NEVER DO IT ANY TIME BECAUSE THEY CAUSE IT DEAD. WE ARE LIVEING IN THE 21ST CENTUREY AND NOT IN 18TH OR 19TH OR EVEN 20TH CENTURY.
I AM A LIFE TIME REPUBLICAN AND I APPROVE THE ABOVE MESSAGE.
Ann can sure dish it out, hopefully, when the truth comes out about her she can take it!
Typical Republican party girl.
Great. Another lame, angry, unimportant, hateful person.
Completely insignificant.
she is right, more and more people will be turning toward her and away from Obama, He is not helping people who pay their bills,
YAWN...Obama is still the PRESIDENT no matter how much they disrespect him..way to fire up the base..the same base that helped put OBAMA in office..one day they will learn that this is the same type of rhetoric that people do not want to hear....
Ann Coulter is so entertaining, like a porn movie for the feeble-minded.
What a mess the Republican Party has become.
She looks more like the living dead every time I see her.
There is no limit to how much I abhor this woman. Anyone who encourages her vitriol by laughter is disgusting at best. BTW if the 53% majority Obama won by is "mediocre" what was the 51% majority Bush won by in 2004? Not to mention the popular vote loss of 2000! Do they think we have no memories?
she is a disgrace for humanity.
separatist............
if Republicans will rely on Coulter and Limbaugh, then they are doomed.
She's hurting the Party. Someone needs to shut her up.
Hey, Repubs, it's rough not being in power, isn't it? With so many lightweight Repubs, I guess talk show hosts were all you could come up with!!!!!
Ah, Ann Coulter is trash.
Ann Coulter is UGLY inside and out. And, what a shame, she wears a crucifix around her neck like a sheriff's badge.
Look into this woman's eyes - what I see is someone dangerously deranged and scary. Sort of like Don Rickles in drag with blond hair. A cross between Phyllis Diller and Eva Braun. The kind of woman who could marry a Rush Limbaugh. (doesn't that image just kind of creep you out?)
And we see why the Republicans lost, A nut case biggot like Ann Coulter.
i am a rebublican (although i am against guns) but i find it kinda dumb that the rebubs keep rush and coulter within the same time zone
this lady is a twit and rush is just mean
I cannot describe in this comment what I would LOVE to say about that horrible close-minded woman...she's a disgrace to the human race.
ann is so self absorbed, she just talks to hear herself talk, nothing substantial to say.
Ann has turned many Independant voters into Democrats. Gotta love her controversial remarks! Thanks for the votes Ann!!
Long live the Democratic Party!
This chick is an idiot. She fits right in.
I am glad they are welcoming the worst of the neo-cons. This will only solidify their position as out of touch fear mongering idiots.
I'm not sure whether to laugh or vomit. YUK.
