Has Ann Coulter jumped the shark with her latest book and comments?
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 01:15 PM by ck4829
Do you think that she will join Pat Robertson in the dust bin of irrelevancy?

20. Maher is a phony Libertarian.
Liberals are wrong for thinking he represents them, and now Libertarians can feel just as betrayed.

2. I heard that she said 9/11 widows were enjoying their husbands' deaths...
because they now have a political platform that they never would have had.

Only someone like her would think that politics comes before love.

3. I think so, yes...I used to like listening to her for the same reasons I
listen to Rush. But now, she is just useless and completely vapid.

4. She jumps anything that will hold still long enough.
The Shark was severely traumatized by the experience, however, and could not be reached for comment at press time.

5. I'd say so, but her book was #3 on Amazon when I last checked.
???????????????????

I wonder if far-right organizations are buying up her book in bulk to drive up sales. ?

9. It's also severely discounted at amazon.com.
I love the word severely.

$11 and change off the retail price.

13. I would bet on it
After about a week you'll be able to get her book for free by clicking on some link on Drudge. It happens everytime she writes a book.

I'm sure there are some people who will pay money to have their irrational hate for all things they disagree with validated by Ms. Coulter, but I doubt that many.

18. Yes, they do. Also outfits like the pharma industry
who hands out her book at conventions.

21. of course, the #2 book on Amazon is by a guy who talked to Jesus in 2003
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 02:10 PM by Hamlette
The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking : Secret Teachings from Jeshua ben Joseph
"The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking is a collection of sacred wisdom inspired by an encounter between James Twyman (the author) and Jeshua Ben Joseph (also known as Jesus) in 2003 at the Dead Sea."

This country is seriously screwed up.

6. The whole GOP has. They just haven't realized it yet.
They'll find out on a Wednesday morning in November ;-)

14. Oh I bet she can bench press even more than ol' Pat.
I'd like to see them duke it out.

15. Don't count on it
I listened to about twenty minutes of Bill O'Reilly today at lunch. O'Reilly agreed with her premise but he thought her lanuguage and personal attacks were over the top. His callers, the five I heard, were pro-coulter. Coulter will keep the fans she had before and the normal, sane people will be repulsed as usual. She will probably get more spots on TV after all the dust-up over this.

16. As long as she touts herself as a Polemicist, no
She's doing exactly that and will continue to get the publicity.

Until she is ignored and causes her editor, publisher and manager to lose $$$$$$$$, she will be and continue to be 'out there'. I'll say one thing...she has one hell of a publicist!

19. Exactly. The many threads about that worthless nitwit show that
she still has the juice to get people bent out of shape. I regard her like I do the crazy guy on the street who is telling everyone that the end is near or the gubmint can hear what you are thinking (without benefit of a wiretap, mind you!). Pitiful, but not worth wasting the time we have on earth listening to. When she is ignored, she'll cease to be able to get people all riled up.

The MEDIA really should be ashamed for giving her the time they do. But then, they like to go for the visceral reaction, it's their stock in trade, and she is 'camera ready' in the sense that she knows how the equipment works, knows what it means when the red light goes on, doesn't get flummoxed when a producer talks in her ear, and so forth. When missing or murdered young blondes get a bit stale, one can always count on the HarridAnn to get blood boiling and dole out a previously inconceivable dose of incivility. The media is complicit in her continuing high profile, and they do it just for ratings.

When people call to complain, the television outlet learns one thing--that people were actually WATCHING. I vote for that shitheel with my remote. Two words: Fuck Her.
