Ann Coulter's Psychological Profile?
My Brain | today | Al Simmons

Posted on 06/18/2006 2:24:55 AM PDT by 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.

This ought to be a very interesting thread. Note to any Mods watching:

a. This vanity raises a serious question for discussion, and

b. FR is not the Catholic Church and Ann isn't the Virgin Mary - so I hope that free discussion of this topic will be permitted....

I suppose women should be coy and meek.

That persona you deride makes her a very wealthy woman--I think you're reading far, far too much into it.

1. I don't understand your basis for claiming evidence of exhibitionism and narcissism. I have seen neither.

2. Rules?

never-married lifestyle

What is that?

Oh please a 'psychological profile'. What is this obsession with a 'woman' having the intellect to say what is without coating it to win friends and influence people?

There is no deficiency in NOT getting married, and IF my daughter decides to NOT ever to get married it would not make me think less of her.

A phrase I chose out of modesty.

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

Just in case.

I do understand the reasons behind the questions you pose with this thread. I, for one, feel that Ann goes to the heart of the matter on every subject she writes.
Whether it is about her upbringing or how she conducts herself privately is another matter. To me, it appears she had a very different upbringing than a lot of girls these days. She was raised with a fierce patriotism that has extended itself to some of the views she has today.
We could talk all day about what makes her the way she is, but in the end her ability to point at any issue and have a definitive position is refreshing.

The Libs have no problem calling consevatives every dirty thing they can think of, but when a conservative calls four women, who are truly using the deaths of their loved ones to further a political agenda, 'harpies', the whole media comes unglued and we get posts like this one about ..."what makes her tick".

What should be the focus is how correct any of her observations are to being accurate.

Obviously. So you're saying that her personality is contrived?

Actually, it were her shockingly uneducated rantings about "Darwinism" that snapped me out of my reverie.

Having read those, one can only draw two possible conclusions:

She is - well - uneducated about the subject (that is putting it in the best possible light) - or

she is just throwing red-meat to the wolves, regardless of the fact that she knows she is repeating a ludicrous lie.

Neither conclusion is particularly complimentary...

Nonsense. Coulter is a cultural/political strategist, and a damn fine one at that.

You don't shake the trees she does by following the recommendations of those sitting in them.

You'd do well to abandon your fatuous flirting with psycho-analysis, and try looking at her as a cultural general.

I think most psychologists and psychiatrists are psychotic. There, you have my contribution.

Then kindly answer my last question above:

Would you want your daughter acting the way she does? Yes or no?

Ah.

Everything is much clearer now...

It is specifically my intention that this thread AVOID that questions because then there would hardly be any reason for it. We are all in agreement with the overwhelming majority of her points of view.

Sooo...please don't try to change the subject.

One simple questions:

Would you want your daughter acting the way she does? Yes or no?
