Ann Coulter's Psychological Profile?

My Brain | today | 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 suppose it all depends on the meaning of the word "is".;-) Besides, politics is all about having to win friends and influence people. Ann is great at warming up the choir, but she is not exactly the best evangelist."

LOL. And I mean that in a positive way.

I have not read through the rest of this thread so not sure nor do I really care how the responses are weighing in what direction.

Liberalism is all about the presentation, the packaging, and the emotion of being. It is like a whitewash that needs to continually be re-coated, and some areas needs more coats than others.

Ann is not seeking a political office thus she is like a power washer (I love my power washer) to the ideology of the liberalism whitewash.

I do find it interesting how broadly the spray of the liberalism whitewash is so pervasive throughout the body politic.

Huh?

What do you mean, Huh?

Do disagree with my statement and you'd support someone that lies and swears to the lie?

"I think most psychologists and psychiatrists are psychotic."

I've always said that psychologists and psychiatrists follow these professions because of a deep-seated need to analyze their own nuttiness.

Back in the late '60s, early '70s, any date that told me she was a Pysch major soon rewarded my observations with some nuttiness in word or deed.

And the next morning, I threw them out.

OK -- you see no problem with personal attacks. I do.

[soccermom]

LOL! Well, there have been a few of us beating them off on other threads. I'm one of the fortunate ones who hasn't yet been called a DU troll!

[soccermom]

No -- I was just wondering if you were accusing Coulter of lying under oath or someone else.

[soccermom]

Yes, because Ann is not seeking elected office she can afford to be inflammatory. I just hope her words don't backfire against elected Republicans the way Moore's words backfired against Kerry. Beyond my basic "mommy" expectation that we don't make personal attacks, I am very worried about the political implications of such attacks.

[ahayes]

True enough - what moderator did that?

None yet, or I'd be banned! However, since the moderators are generally chosen from the pool of Freepers and are theoretically representative, when you have a lot of people saying that type of thing it makes you wonder whether the moderator reading might agree.

[deport]

Well I guess I'm repeating what others have said regarding her registering to vote in Palm Beach Fl. Supposedly her registration form used an address to which she didn't own/live and the form includes a line [#15] to sign which is an oath or affirmation that the information provided by the applicant is true.

[ahayes]

lol I would have been here myself but I was on a different thread arguing about whether "enjoy" really means "enjoy" with a dozen people. They do tend to swamp you. ;-)

[soccermom]

Coulter did that? Why?

[soccermom]

LOL! It all depends on the meaning of the word "enjoy", doncha know?

[deport]

I have no idea why she did it..... But not smart if she did.

[soccermom]

What????? She's the most brilliant woman in the world! How dare you say such a thing -- TROLL! ;-)

Ah you and I have different definitions of that word inflammatory. Ann sticks sharp 'pricks' into the hot air balloons of the liberal sacred donkeys. Now selecting those willing Jersey gals for the sole purpose of seeking the destruction of President Bush using government funds for their Soviet style commission was the ultimate over the top in inflaming my sensibilities. I have no issue with Ann exposing them for the attempted political coup these women willing used themselves and the deaths of their husbands for a political gain. Especially when all was based upon lies and a liberal cover-up.

Afford is an interesting word, because no one is government mandated to purchase her book or spend one second listening or watching her speak. Granted Ann is not for the faint hearted, we are at war, and there are days it is difficult to distinguish the ultimate end from liberalism and terrorism, both have such a destructive result.

[ahayes]

Apparently some people think they were "revelling" in it without "enjoying" it (as in drawing pleasure from). To Ann Coulter's credit, I haven't heard that she's been attempting to explain away her use of "enjoy." I imagine she's revelling in the attention that word choice has brought. ;-)

[soccermom]

"I have no issue with Ann exposing them for the attempted political coup these women willing used themselves and the deaths of their husbands for a political gain." Nor do I. I do have an issue with Ann using personal attacks. She could have just as easily "exposed" them, without ad hominem arguments.

[soccermom]

LOL!

[OESY]

Say what you want about Ann Coulter, but remember she is the only one with enough moxie to blow the whistle on the Democrat practice of recruiting self-righteous victims as spokespersons for their failed causes to avoid debating the issue.

Coulter never ran from the fight when a bunch of liberals seized on a couple of sentences as a way to attack her and her latest well-documented book.

She kept her spine in the face of attacks, unlike so many conservatives--many in evidence on these threads. And you wonder why Republicans are spineless?

So whose psychological profile needs examining?

[Al Simmons]

Supposedly she used her realtor's address for voting purposes so that no one could get her real address from the voting roles.
