Ann Coulter's Psychological Profile?

My Brain | today | Al Simmons

[Al Simmons]

OK gang. Time to put the old iconoclastic part of the old thinker to work.

Yeah, I have enjoyed Ann's acidic barbs and laughed out loud at some of her more outrageous pronouncements over the years - though frankly, her act is getting a bit old with me - but that is not what this vanity is about.

I suspect that we are all secretly aware that her public persona displays more than a little evidence of exhibitionism and narcissism....the woman clearly has some personality issues. I personally think that she likely has a low sense of self-worth, which her public persona would appear to compensate for....

I would like to hear opinions on this topic from any FReepers who are psychologists or psychiatrists.

Oh, and in case some of you didn't get it, I'll repeat myself:

THIS VANITY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MS. COULTER'S POLITICAL VIEWS. It is meant to provoke some thought about her method of promoting them (and herself).

I suspect that few Freepers would want their daughters to behave as Ms. Coulter does - both in terms of her outrageous rudeness and her never-married lifestyle.

I'll spell it out: "sleeps-around"

How do you know? Do you have proof of this?

Is this just a rumor or is it a fact?

Are you able to name names?

Maybe she has a steady boyfriend, or maybe she hasn't found the right guy yet? Would you want her to marry just for the sake of being married? I don't know the details of Ann's personal life.

Whatever Ann does, she is a grown adult living in America. It's a free country and she can make her own decisions.

For you though, I'll spell it out: "sleeps-around"

Yeah, I often wondered about that!!

[vetvetdoug]

Ann is a perfectionist, intelligent, and opinionated. She is strong willed and not just any man can live with a woman like that. As for "sleeping around", anyone that has lived to be 45 years old is not going to be virginal unless they look like a troll and live under a bridge. Most all make mistakes in relationships and move on. As I understand from what I read, Ann has a very close family and communication between them is open and frank.

One thing about her, she is blatantly honest and Democrats and liberals cannot stand that. Many of us couldn't stand the pressures of the public and personal scrutiny that Ann is undergoing at the present time. She's got my respect, how about yours?

PJ O'Rourke, Ann Coulter.. both appear to be of Irish ancestory....

Collects scalps for her Lodge Pole
Counts Coup in ways that makes the Left insane
Takes Absolutely No Prisoners
While proving beautiful blondes Do have brains!





A predecessor to Ms. Coulter by a couple of years
Possessed of a humor that first opened Conservative eyes and ears
Making fun of the foibles of the Left while exposing them as goons
Honing his skills since being a writer, then editor of The National Lampoon!


Political Humor doesn't come any better than with these two
Which is why they are both despised and decried by States that are Blue
I've been following both, and it's been a lopsided game from the start
When the best the Left have are Air America and Sandra Bernhardt!

I hope you can provide us a copy of your psychology degree, since you're so interested in diagnosing Ann.

It's good we have somebody to retaliate against the liberals. That said, I don't really like her or most pundits. Some stuff is better left unsaid (Pat Robertson?) and I don't really like us degrading ourselves to name-calling, etc. So sophmorish. Or actually, Freshmanish :)

I'm guessing that Coulter, like many pundits, probably acts arrogant, narcissistically (SP?), etc. to sell books. People like that stuff. Still, I wouldn't want her as a daughter.

[Mad Dawg]

Hereis an example of a spoof on Ann's part. It's just a tour de force of witty insult:

The argument that "liberal" conveys no meaningful information is always stated in terms of the great variation among liberals. There is more variation among dogs than among liberals, but that doesn't mean the word "dog" has no meaning. No one demands a twenty-minute exigesis on the differences between a poodle and a Great Dane before acknowledging that the word "Dog" has meaning. Similarly, there are tall liberals, short liberals, cowardly liberals, even more cowardly liberals -- but there is still an essential dogness to all of them.

Here she avoids seeming pedantic in her analogy by seemnglyh misplacing "dogness" on the wrong side of the proportion -- which makes it hysterical. If my daughter oculd do that, if I could do that I'd be very proud indeed.

FROM YOUR PROFILE:"- Graduate of top 15 US Law School (and smart enough to have found something more fulfilling to do with my life than practicing law. I absolutely DESPISE most lawyers.)

Now I understand YOUR disdain for Ann Coulter. She could probably out-lawyer you and she HAS found something more fulfilling to do.

What are you doing now?

[Larry Lucido]

It's okay, I hate lawyers too and I am one. :-)

Your Statement From The Thread: "I suspect that few Freepers would want their daughters to behave as Ms. Coulter does - both in terms of her outrageous rudeness and her never-married lifestyle."

I sure wouldn't want my daughter to marry if all the men out there were like you. I see women tend not to stay with you.

ANOTHER QUOTE FROM YOUR PROFILE- Currently quite jaded about "the psychotic sex" - yeah - I KNOW there are nice women out there, but in my life I seem to have had a knack for finding 'violent femmes' - so I have blissfully taken myself out of that market for the time being - family, friends are enough fullfilment for now

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You obviously have way too much time on your hands, worrying about Coulter's personality.

Ann is just a political and conservative activist. She does what she does because it's the only way she can get a response from the lamestream media.

Would you want your daughter behaving like Ann does?

Yes. I would be very fortunate if my daughter was an excellent legal scholar and conservative activist.

Now get bent.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

So if your daughter publicly wished that someone put rat poison into a Supreme Court Justice's coffee that would be OK with you?

Sure, as long as she didn't tell an African-American Supreme Court justice to eat a lot of fried and fatty foods and die of heart disease.

Now I must get some sleep, so Good Morning to y'all

Typical wuss - start a discussion thread and then chicken out on it.

Yeah, go get some sleep. You'll need it after the butt-kicking you received on this thread.

[Al Simmons]

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Your (slim) home page states that you should "Never argue with an idiot, he'll bring you down to his level - then beat you with experience."

Game. Set. Match.

[Al Simmons]

Curses!

[Al Simmons]

"Ann is a perfectionist, intelligent, and opinionated."

You should have stopped after 'perfectionist'. Synonymous with 'psycho' in my experience. You're not paying her a compliment by calling her that.

"She is strong willed and not just any man can live with a "woman like that. "

One can: A doormat.

[Al Simmons]

"She's got my respect, how about yours?"

She does get my respect for fearlessness, but I doubt very much I'd like to be married to her. And she can cross the line into rudeness (which we've already talked to death!)

[Al Simmons]

"Here she avoids seeming pedantic in her analogy by seemnglyh misplacing "dogness" on the wrong side of the proportion -- which makes it hysterical. If my daughter oculd do that, if I could do that I'd be very proud indeed."

You are WWAAAYYY TOO overeducated for your own good. (Re-read that closely; do I avoid 'seeming pedantic' too?)

[Al Simmons]

Well, I might not want to marry your daughter either - or ANYONE's daughter for that matter (its not for everyone, as Paul wrote. Having an artistic temperament does have its downsides.) Did you think of that?
