One wonders whether Ms. Coulter’s looks are a plus that sells books or a minus for the logic-challenged who then go for the cheap sex attacks on her that have nothing to do with the content of her writing.
For me, the history of liberalism is frought with people who gather, mostly in urban areas, and decide that their world view is the right one. Never mind that this view pretty much runs counter to the Judeo-Christian ethics that have been in place for a couple of thousand years now. From that standpoint it is more of an anti-relgion than a religion, but what all America tends to deplore is extemeism connected with the far left, as well as the far right.
To me it’s a matter of who is scarier: If you can choose between someone who rails against people who they think act contrary to the tenets upon which our nation was founded, or you can choose someone who thinks animals are the same as people or that it’s ok to kill babies or that the environment is more important than people,ad nausium. To most of us, the religious right is simply less scary.
In the past it was allowable to see people of faith as also possessed of an intellect, but apparently no more. Intellect is often deemed the sole possesion of those who gather around the new urban round tables and decide that any self-serving behavior can be justified, so long as we call it the politically correct thing. The more we advertise this new age behavior, the more it becomes a fact for those who just want what they want and can’t see why the people in those backward red states don’t see it the same way.
In a choice between the old and the new religion, give me a Christian extemist any day, even if I may not want to go quite as far as either side would have me go.

Ben Amis,

Coulter doesn’t back up what she says. Coulter is a shallow, narrow minded shock jock that is simply trying to push buttons.

For instance, her comments about the 911 wives was absolutely uncalled for. The reason noone responds the the ridiculous point she was making is that no one is arguing for it. Noone thinks that the 911 wives have a stronger argument because they are victims. But if they want to pull some heartstrings to influence people by showing the human side to the story, then certainly, they have just as much right as Coulter to speak their mind, don’t they?

Coulter does nothing except shock people so her book sells. Coulter’s commment that they are enjoying their husbands deaths could have been expressed by simply saying that simply because they were victims doesn’t mean that they have a more valid argument. But then again, such respectful dialogue probably wouldn’t sell books to her constituency who relish in the venom she spews. How better to defeat an opponent than to dehumanize them. She doesn’t even speak of liberals as americans, or even humans.

I would enjoy learning that Coulter has been seriously hurt.

Hey kids ! You want to see the stupidest woman on the planet ? Here she is : Ann Coulter in all her republican stupidity. She even fights against her own rights … I’m starting to believe that’s a man in disguise.

no genocide, but mass sterilization and deportation to the halliburton detention camps

Well, Nulllogik, when a review over a political book receives comments that are directed to personally insult the author without actually tackling the issues, I would call those commentators which are mudslinging so, airheaded. Either they don’t care and shouldn’t be commenting in the first place, or they’re just too ignorant to have an intelligent discussion over the matter. I’ll respect a person who knows what they’re talking about, and when personal attacks can be backed up by evidence of their behavior and character. That’s what Ann does. Since it’s what she does, attack her personally as much as you want, just use it to discuss the issue.

“Bet she takes it up the rusty bullet hole!!!”

HAHAHA AWESOME!!

Isnt it how republicans like it?
Or is that just some of them?

And airheaded? Why do you brand all of us Left? Damn, thats what Hitler did when he made all the jews wear symbols on their clothes.

In Mein Kampf (and i have read it, i am a firm believer in knowing one’s foes and the past) it says in order to win a conflict with the support of the people: You must constantly keep them afraid (and if you look above our “Terror index” is on yellow or orange, BTW what the fvck is with that?) and tell everyone who doesnt blindly support the war as “unpatriotic”

in that regard you are helping your president yes. but youre also acting like hitler.

you Nazi

And Anne is nothing that a paper bag or two (one for your head just in case the one on her’s falls off) cant help…

The thing I hate most about Ann Coulter, with her natty blonde hair, her cottage cheese thighs, and her grapefruit-sized adam’s apple, is that she has a way of turning ordinary progressive males such as myself into catty women.

Ooooh, I could just scratch her eyes out!

Tristan,

One must confess, God in his knowing manner has installed inside of me a great desire. I have prayed and washed myself with coal tar soap, and I even sought the advice of an agony aunt in the Daily Mail, the preferred newspaper of people, who like myself, believe in the honest and truthful values of the right-wing in this country. It was all of no avail.

I write this confession blushing somewhat, for I believe I find myself desirous of your latest Republican heroine. She is truly a vision of shapeliness and vitality, a sleak frontrunner rallying our troops against the permissive liberal vacuum which threatens to tear apart the fabric of our society. Clearly her shape compliments her staunch moral fibre, and I am angered that the liberals would even try to argue with a woman this good-looking.

Not only has she captured the spirit of the age, but also my heart. I pray that she may enjoy swift and decisive victories and slay all who oppose her with great vengeance. I must now defend the sanctity of my soul against the onanistic onslaught I find myself gripped by.

Praise Be,
FreedomLover, of England

Is it me or does she look like a horse? Also, isn’t the site of a cross hanging above a plunging cleavage somewhat incongruous?

The content of these comments show how air-headed the left has become! Brainwashed by the libral church in every facet of media for the past quarter-century, the orderies of the democratic party just follow their far-left national leadership into radicalism.

Wake up! I thank God that the majority of people are beginning to realize that this is a crock! The conservatives of the nation have realized that the left has taken over the media, and we’re finally starting to speak out against them with the same force they’ve been slandering us with, and the liberal machine, which still controls a large part of the media, is painting us as the bad guys, a threat to the nation, when the truth is that we’re just doing what they’ve been doing for the last 25 years — except we’re telling the truth.

Get over it, left-wingers, the conservative voice of America’s past is back, and we’re not going anywhere.
