Sorry, I gave the wrong link for Coulter's lame answer to Katie Couric. Here it is.

You seem to be doing what Ann describes in the interview with Couric.
The only thing lame about the Q and A was Katie's misrepresentational questions and repeating the liberal lies such as Ann being fired:

Katie Couric: You were also fired, I guess, because you wrote in the National Review that we should -- when it came to fighting terrorism, we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. Do you still believe that that's the best way to combat terrorism worldwide?

Ann Coulter: Well, that's a somewhat dishonest quote. I was referring to the people in the previous sentence of that column, cheering and dancing in the streets right now, and, in fact, this -- the way that was so widely misquoted is an example of what I described in my book, which is the constant mischaracterizations...

Ann didn't write in the National Review...they had the option to run the syndicated column or not.
Ann was talking about the fanatics celebrating the Twin Towers terrorizm.

Katie Couric: But obviously the National Review had a problem with these articles and some of the pieces you did because you were fired from that job.

Another lame attempt by Couric to paint Ann with the liberal spin that she was fired from a job. She wasn't fired.

Katie Couric: What do you think is the best way to battle terrorism?

Ann Coulter: Point one and point two [We should invade their countries, kill their leaders] by the end of the week had become official government policy.

As for converting them to Christianity, I think it might be a good idea to get them on some sort of hobby other than slaughtering infidels.
I mean perhaps that's the Peace Corps, perhaps it's working for Planned Parenthood, but I've never seen the transforming effect of anything like that Christianity.

Coulter's use of the word hobby seems to mainly be used to show how offhandedly and without conscience many mid-easterners can justify killing innocent people. She obviously wasn't referring to Christianity as a hobby as shown by her last few words.

I can't understand how conservatives can call Ann's answer "lame" while ignoring the obvious attempts by one of the most popular liberal TV personalities to trip her up.
