Hmmm.
I am listening to the audiobook now, and I believe this quote is in the first chapter.
She says NO SUCH DUMBASS STUPID THING. She is being extremely sarcastic when she says it, as when describing a belief in the first person to make a point.
For example, if you were having an argument with someone and said: "Okay then. Let's just round up all the illegal mexicans, put them in a big building, douse it with gasoline and burn it to the ground. That will fix the problem."
Sure, there are a few people who would actually do that, or think it was a good idea. But most people can recognize a rhetorical device when they see it.
This person Weintraub is just being a disingenuous dumbass.
"But most people can recognize a rhetorical device when they see it. "
Actually I'm surprised by the number of people who don't recognize satire and its accompanying literary device called hyperbole. That includes a few freepers.
They whine and complain that Ann is "not telling the truth." Well, how about that. Satire, by its nature, uses the literary tools of exagerration and humor to make a point.
Both Mark Twain and HL Mencken wrote satire and were roundly criticized in their day.
Ann stands in good company.
AND should be sued by Ann Coulter into the third world..
