Conservative slams Ann Coulter in another editorial...

[Memekiller]

Daniel Borchers, the President of Conservatives for Principled Conservatism, who does a weekly column for www.whoslying.org called On the Right Track, slams the right for supporting Ann Coulter’s lies in his latest editorial “Coulter’s Paradigm, Conservative Paralysis”. Here's a sample:

"The unspoken third rail of Conservatism is the mainstreaming of
extremism within the movement. Right-wing hatred erupted during the
Clinton era and a new generation of conservatives now finds it
fashionable to hate.

"This trend threatens Conservatism and the extent of that threat is
self-evident in the glorification of firebrand Ann Coulter as a
‘conservative icon.’

"All of Ann Coulter's books have received star treatment and massive
promotion. High Crimes and Misdemeanors (1988) established Coulter as
a prominent player in D.C. even as it accurately reflected huge
segments of mainstream American mores.

"However, her subsequent books – Slander (2002) and Treason (2003) –
are seriously flawed and deliberately play to the extremist elements
of the political spectrum, though they have received widespread praise
from conservative leaders and have secured Coulter's celebrity status.

"Coulter's ever-increasing popularity has recently gained her a $3
million book deal, despite the acknowledged inanity (or insanity) of
her worldview."

Refreshing to see a conservative not stand behind Coulter's lies, just
because it tows the party line.

3. ..unfortunately, any voices of sanity on the right are being...

overwhelmed by legions of dittohead morons, and Coulter
throws them the red meat they crave.

4. This is what they get for destroying education in the US.

They wanted an army of brain-dead clones, and they got it.

5. Very interesting stuff

I've been saying for years that there is a well organized and well financed effort to "mainstream" right wing extremism, and here is a conservative Christian saying the same thing.

6. I've been trying...

...to get Borchers on talk radio somewhere, but apparently conservative outlets only allow liberal bashing, not self reflection.
