Ann Coulter was on a local SLC talk show last week. The host of the show had a hard time with her. I can see where she is coming from, she is definitely a "take no prisoners" type of person. Doug Wright kept saying that he couldn't tar a group of people (Democrats) with the brush of treason, I could see both points of view.

Quite frankly, there are many things I like about Ann - her columns are funny and pointed and so far she hasn't ruined them by blatant over-reaching. She is fearless and I appreciate that. I just think she is a lazy writer and that she's gone way over the top on the McCarthy thing which destroys any credibility she could have had as a sane representative of conservative thought. And that makes me mad, because I hate to see her p*ss away her talent and her ability to reach more than her rabid base.

She could be a real help to conservative Republicans. Instead she is choosing to become the poster girl for the tin foil hat society - and that is a waste. I fear that Ann is too absorbed with Ann - something it would be hard not to be if you're in the middle of all the adulation, but still, I'd be happier if she'd keep her eye on the prize - changing minds towards conservatism, rather than excelling at selling Ann above all things. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but that's the impression I'm getting from her.
