And the Right doesn't whine profusely when they're attacked? LOL, gimme a break, it's all the same: "Oh the media, they're so liberal and evil, why are they so mean to us?!" It's funny how the one side always sees the faults of the other side w/o seeing they have the same faults.

Think about it, if someone like Ann Coulter came out on the Left, the Right would have a field day! "Oh my gosh what a crazy b@#!@," they'd say.

Hmmm, when writing this at first I was going to lament the horrible woe and gloom of having more Coulters in the world (since it would mean the loss of rational reasoned debate and the rise of Jerry Springer Show-like screaming and mudslinging), but on the other hand, if she really represented the average Right-wing supporter, I bet a lot of conservatives would be repulsed at their own party.

Coulter and the other screaming head pundits add nothing to the national debate. All they do is appeal to raw emotion. It's just entertainment.

 

Well, I'll be the first to admit that as a straight ticket Democrat voter, I know "my side" has got some whackos selling books or propoganda as well. For sensible conservatives, I'm sure they disagree with her approach even if they may occasionally agree with her message. Let's not kid ourselves. She's smart enough to know who her readers are and that what she or anyone else puts in political books sells if its sensational.

I don't doubt that she's smart- I think she knows exactly what she's doing. She probably didn't have much talent as a lawyer, but she's making money hand over fist as a liberal-bashing porn peddler.

Whenever I go into Barnes & Noble (I prefer small, independent bookstores, but B&N is near my office) and I want to get a serious political book to read, I pass by tables loaded with all the politcal-bashing books. And they have them from both sides, to make sure they reach the widest audience. I'm not interested in reading every "Bush is a moron" book, even though I share that opinion. Few of them, though, are on a level with Ann Coulter. Also, she is dangerous. I read something in the news about her speaking at some college, and exhorting the male students in the audience to go beat the crap out of a Muslim student who was alleged to have some connection with the Taliban.

Ann Coulter is smart indeed- she "writes" in a style that requires no thought or talent; no more effort than just gorging yourself with handfuls of laxative and waiting for it to come out. The people who buy her books, though- they probably don't register far into the double digits on the IQ test.

OMG! Hitler loved dogs, and so do I?
(That's at least the third time that crackhead compared me to Hitler. They should rename Godwin's Law after him)

This is the standard Squid modus operandi. Call you a Nazi and a dog molester, then shut down the thread. A$$hole.

Go Howard, Go Howard... :lol:

I listen to him every morning on sirius....
I just got another unit the size of a radar detector works great! only cost $49 with rebate.

Was Hitler into animals too? You know becides Water, dogs, ships, foot soldiers oh and Gas..

 

Again, getting back to the topic of the thread, I personally would never by an AC or Limbaugh or O'Reilly book, but until there is less of a market for what they're selling or saying, it's not going to change. Whether I like it or not, this country may still be at the point that a decent Rep. candidate will beat a decent Dem. candidate in most parts of the country. If I'm going to convince people otherwise, it's going to be by talking to them, not insulting them for disagreeing with me. If either party does that enough, the AC of the world (from both sides) will lose most of their appeal and be more marginalized.

As far as all the Hitler references go, I think John Stewart put it best when he said;

"All this talk comparing people to Hitler is demeaning to Hitler! He worked hard to have the reputation that he has."

 

Most of you probably won't belive this, but Ann Coulter is married to James Carville. Talk about left and right, Yin and Yang. :lol:

You're thinking of Mary Matalin. She is a conservative republican, but not a looney idealogue like Coulter. Some people find it surprising that Carville and Matalin could be married to each other, but they really are similar political strategists; they just represent opposite parties.

Ann Coulter is not married. I cannot believe that there is a man on this planet who would subject himself to that (except Mystery Squid).

BTW, those rumors that Ann Coulter is really a man are nothing butt rumors:
