No, if we take your word for it, that means what she said is wrong.

You may not like Ann Coulter for some reason. Fine. But calling her a liar on that kind of evidence is unwarranted and, given that you seem to be decrying her lack of civility, hypocritical on your part.

Let's assume that you're right and Ann is vicious a hack for pro-American conservatism as Moore is for anti-American leftism.

I could understand you decrying on her own merits in that case.... But what I cannot understand is why you would then act as though that means the two are equivalent to one another. That would only be justified if conservatism and leftism were, in you mind, roughly equivalent to to conservatism. But they're not.

If you don't believe they are equivalent-- and I know you do not-- why write as if they are? If you dislike Coulter's hyperbole, why not respond to a thread about her with a post devoid of hyperbole the exemplifies what you think she should?

You've got my vote, mjolnir.

I realize now that the TITLE of this thread may be worth 3100 reads on a Friday night. The artice is good too!

By the way, my internet connection is getting spotty, so good night and thanks for all the fun.

Don't take my word for it. You can read the book review here (you'll have to scroll down a bit).

Tell me whether or not you think Ann's portrayal is accurate. Tell me whether or not you think it is even possible to interpret it as "Liberal refusal to accept any evidence that any person ever spied for the Soviet Union..."

But what I cannot understand is why you would then act as though that means the two are equivalent to one another. That would only be justified if conservatism and leftism were, in you mind, roughly equivalent to to conservatism.

I don't see how. Lies and smears are equally wrong regardless of whether they are intended to push people to the right or to the left.

If you dislike Coulter's hyperbole, why not respond to a thread about her with a post devoid of hyperbole the exemplifies what you think she should?

I don't believe my post contained any hyperbole, but here goes anyway. She should tell the truth and make her case patiently, rationally and without invective. I know it doesn't sell as many books, but I think it is more effective in the long run.
