"Ann Coulter Is Never Wrong, And If You Think She's Wrong, She Was Really Just Kidding."

One poster defined Coulter's style as "polemical humor." I get the impression from some that one should rarely take anything she says seriously.

Perhaps the world would be a better, more reasonable place if we all ignored the bomb-throwers who don't intend to be taken seriously. Let them do their little performance art thing down in the park on weekends, next to the mimes and the sellers of balloon animals.

That's exactly her style. She's one of the best practitioners of the art.

I get the impression from some that one should rarely take anything she says seriously.

On the contrary, what makes her writing humorous is that the reader recognizes there's an element of absolute truth--and that Ann is expounding upon taboo subjects that most of us wouldn't dare address in public. And the best part of it is that she is fast on her feet and makes her critics look like fatuous boobs.

I'm surprised that so many of the high-priests of relativist materialism here on FR have absolutely no sense of humor!

Personally, I can't WAIT to read this book!

Coulter calls herself a polemicist. It always cracks me up how "conservatives" get all cranky over her polemicist ways. She never considered herself to be a boring, dull history writer. To be honestm, as far as political books go hers are of the few I can actually get through without being bored to tears.
