I did not watch the show (don't watch tv anymore...) and I don't think Ann is going to be in the next issue of Victoria's Secret catalog (which my wife thoughfully came in an hour ago and gave to me...:)

That said, I admire and respect what Ann Coulter has done. As an example, I use her analysis of the slander of Joseph McCarthy. I drank the "Kool-Aid" of the historical version of what Joseph McCarthy did. I thought he was something our country should be embarassed about. And I felt that way, because all I ever heard about him was what the media wanted me to hear, and what the schools taught me.

After I listened to her analysis, it inspired me to explore the subject on my own. I obtained the transcripts of the hearings, read books on the subject that were not written by those who have a predetermined opinion about him. I read multiple books on the Venona Files.

And you know what? After looking at alternative (to the left's opinions) analyses of Joseph McCarthy and that time frame, I believe her version is far closer to the truth than what I have been spoon fed my entire life. And believe me, I have taken the time to look at the information.

As a result, I believe Joseph McCarthy was an American hero who sacrificed his name, and ultimately his life to buy precious time for our country.

The fact that Ann Coulter has pointed me to the path to make my own conclusion on this one subject speaks volumes about the depth of her analysis. Particularly when you place her analysis next to that of the people who want to demonize McCarthy.

Ann, we all owe you. You show us how to stand up to the Libs...by hitting them with the facts, speaking the unspeakable and impeaching the unimpeachable. The liberals have shown us they cannot carry on a civilized discourse, and the conservatives have largely just sat back and taken it. Ann is showing us the way to stand up and stop "being afraid of being labelled by liberals" because that is what they do. To many liberals, Conservatives are Bigots. Conservatives are Racist. Conservatives are Sexist. All conservatives want to kill the poor and eat them for lunch. Ann throws that nonsense right back in their faces, and does it unapologetically.

So, yes, we can agree to disagree. I have no problem with that. But I don't like Ann Coulter because of her mosquito bites. I like her the same way that I like Phyllis Schlafly, Margaret Thatcher and Condoleeza Rice and Jean Kirkpatrick. These are women who don't need feminism bullshit. They can stand on their own two feet without the "feminist" crutch to ward off criticism. Those are MY kind of women. (For the record, I do find Condoleeza sexier than Ann...:)

Ann is a very bright woman. She would still be bright AND reach more people if she just toned things down some.
