Who is Ann Coulter anyway?

[ck4829]

Being crazy entitles you the right to a room in the nuthouse, not the right to call Liberals "traitors" and "godless" and not be called a loon.

[H2O Man]

1. A devil.

I say that seriously. She is a devil.

[imax2268]

2. she's a

stupid plagerizing stick figure...

[katinmn]

3. If we all ignored her she would fade away.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. According to Richard Belzer, she is a fascist party doll. eom

[swimmernsecretsea]

5. She's a performing seal.

She does tricks, barks loudly, draws attention to herself. Like a seal, she's out of her element, and people can hardly believe she does the things she does. Great TV, as they say. Those idiots in programming and editorial who think "I should balance this with a conservative viewpoint" drag out the most ridiculous example to suggest an opposite, and that turns out to be Ann.

6. Qualifications?

What is Ann Coulter's background and training? Is she a j-schooler or something? I was always wondered about this.

Cool website.

Degree in law from Michigan

Went to Cornell for her undergrad, comes from a very conservative, upper class family. Father was a union busting corporate lawyer. The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.

She got early success and reinforcement during her college days, doing outrageous things and getting feedback that pleased her. So she decided to stick with that schtick and has been a loud mouthed, ill informed asshole ever since.

And she's done well by it, hell, she's got a 1.8 million dollar house in Palm Beach.

8. She's nobody.

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. When the Pigs are giving you a bully pulpit

it's not because you're saying you're a bleeding heart liberal.

[rucky]

10. Everybody's gotta be good at something.

She's really really good at being crazy.

[marmar]

11. I think "what" would be the better interrogative word for that question.

:scared: :scared: :yoiks: :yoiks:

[true_notes]

12. A Nobody who is Selling Books

I saw 35 of her books sell out on the first day at our Exchange. Mr. Franken is struggling to sell his rationed 10 on the shelf. Proud owner of the Truth!

[Beaverhausen]

13. "It's a man, baby!"

I keep hoping her 15 minutes will be up. She may have gone too far this time.

[maxsolomon]

15. people want to hear their predjudices validated

and that's what she provides.

[texastoast]

20. Excellent point

People need agreement. She easily manipulates those who have bought into the fear factor so well used by the current Reich. So far she has played them like a fine fiddle.

[Rocknrule]

14. The female reincarnation of Timothy McVeigh

[RebelOne]

16. She is a professional hater.

[zippy890]

18. Paging Swamp Rat! He's got the goods on her

in full graphic mode -

her hateful being has been oozing out more than usual lately

[Initech]

19. Ann Coulter is a demon set loose on the earth to lower the standards.

To use the words of Bill Hicks.
