While she is right most of the time, Couler is a comedian. I've seen her speak, and love to listen to her. However, I think that she is given way too much credit by both the left and the right. She's like the comedian that goes to the Astrologist Convention and makes fun of the people that don't "get it." The audience thinks she's hysterical and the rest of the world thinks that she's a kook.

Coulter is absolutely hysterical, and I love to read her stuff, but she's a comedian. Compare her to William F. Buckley, Jr., Newt Gingrich, etc. They are conservatives that lay out new ideas and advance the conservative movement. Coulter is like the cheerleader that entertains the masses while others do the work of winning the game. The left will always hate her because she's making fun of them, and we will always love her because she's making fun of the left.

The left will always hate her because she's making fun of them, and we will always love her because she's making fun of the left.

Well said. But I do think Ann has an influence that goes beyond her choir. As Mark Steyn observed recently, the MSM will no longer be able to pass off the Jersey Girls as nonpartisan. And that's Ann's doing.

People can take all sorts of things but being the butt of ridicule is the least of them. That is why Coulter is so effective as a conservative critic. She really knows how to get underneath the liberals' skin.

who ya gonna call when ya wanna bust a liberal?

Damning with faint praise?
LOL!
While I would enjoy a prepublication proofreading position, if ever it were improbably offered, I don't think comparing AC's signature style with Buckley is appropriate.

She is writing her own unique thoughts, directed to her own growing audience, and is inarguably gaining wild popularity outside of the elitist "retired gated community" type of pseudo conservatives...

May her "niche market" continue to grow ever larger!

I think you are seriously underestimating the importance of what Ann accomplishes. Her most recent work has helped focus people on the liberal tactic of adopting spokespeople who cannot be challenged without risk of attack due to the "special" character of the spokesperson.

Kerry can't be challenged because he was in VietNam (Did you know that?).

Feinstein can't be attacked because she was practically a witness to the shootings of Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone.

Brady can't be attacked because her husband has sacrificed the quality of his life to a crazed gunman.

Without their victim status, who would listen to such people?

Ann once said "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity". This was soon after 9/11. Later she was able to add that the first two items had become official US foreign policy. She deserves credit for having assessed the situation quickly and accurately and for having the guts to say what the solution is. She didn't wait for someone else to say what we should do. THAT is leadership.

In that, the whole flap about the "Jersey Girls" put Ann's identification of the unimpeachable spokesperson phenomenon front and center. The power of this book has been felt. The more the Liberals whine about this and try to make her out as a screech and a fool the more people hear her message and are immunized against this ploy in the future.

Her point in the book was to fight the establishment of atheism as the official religion of the US, but as usual, the public conscience was much more fascinated by the problem of Cindy Sheehan being able to get any amount of air time and the mothers of the other 2500 lost soldiers have almost no voice at all.. because Cindy serves the interests to advance the story like that the liberal media wants to tell..

So Ann has established herself as a true mover of events and the shared political mind. Not just a lightweight cheerleader.
