Until that time her "verbal reprisals" serve a useful function within an intellectual marketplace that resembles a commodities pit more than a debating society.

Bump for all the meeley-mouthed, bed-wetting, RINO's who whine "she didn't have to be so harsh."

She might as well add a few chapters about how the "Central sun theory" or "Round earth" theory are bogus. She brilliantly slams the left then becomes a fool by blasting evolution. I'm just as surprised as she is that the left is not taking her on over this. I'm embarrassed to have her on my side because of it.

I don't think that most conservatives have a lot of monkey blood in their backgrounds but I think liberals mostly do.

My in-laws have a lot of ape in them.

General Lee didn't have any. And I'll call out any man who says he did.

This review finally made me stop procrastinating, and I went to Amazon and purchased Ann's book. Sounds like a real page-turner!

Did these reviewers read the same book I did? There is nothing like "intellectual meat" in it; hell there isn't even "intellectual tripe" -- it's more like "intellectual sawdust sweepings mixed with intellectual textured soybean meal."

Her current work is nothing more than invective, and the section on ID is little more than a rehashing of the thrice-refuted creationist canards found on the crevo threads here. She can't even get her "sources" right. Hell, after reading her first chapter where she manages to get the facts about Chernobyl 180º out I began to question what happened to her once-vaunted intellect. She's done little to no research and appears to have simply thrown this book together after a weekend of intensely reading FR.

What really scares me, though, is that so many people who've read her book think it's the most brilliant thing they've ever read. This tells me one of three things -- they either haven't read the book, but are poseurs trying to look like "with-it conservatives;" they are Ann-droids who worship the very ground their goddess walks upon and treat every scribble from her pen as Holy Writ; or they are products of a piss-poor educational system who wouldn't know a poorly-structured argument if they had lived next door to it for decades and allowed their kids to play at its house.

"..those 9/11 widows who seem to be "enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

I know what she was saying here but I think if she had said 'enjoying their widowhood' or 'enjoying the fame and the riches that their husbands' deaths gave them' she would have been more accurate.

Reading "Godless" is my activity for this weekend. I'd have read it already, but my daughter got it first!

On the topic of evolution, that's not meat. It's fudge.

There's something strangely erotic about these words.

I read the book. I am actually a fan of Richard Dawkins. Ann is a worthy adversary for the evolutionists. She STILL rocks.

In a related chapter, "The Martyr: Willie Horton," Coulter provides detailed information about Horton's crimes, Michael Dukakis' furlough program, and the precise nature of the Horton ads aired in the 1988 presidential campaign

I hope Ann pointed out that it was Algore, who first brought up Willie Horton against Dukakis during the Democratic primaries.

Until Air America, Helen Thomas, and most Democrat constituencies alter their rhetoric, I see no reason for conservatives to denounce Coulter for using, more truthfully, the same harsh language that leftists have employed, with no regard for accuracy, since the time of Lenin. When liberals denounce communist tyrants as fervently as they do real Nazis, then it will be time for Coulter to cool the rhetoric. Until that time her "verbal reprisals" serve a useful function within an intellectual marketplace that resembles a commodities pit more than a debating society.

..Coulter & liberal chickens

C'mon Anne. When will you come back to the True Religion!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............

http://www.echoesofenoch.com/hollowearth.htm

The Earth is hollow!!!!!!!!!!!

I read it on the Internet therefore it must be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bible says so too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........

Isa 40:22 "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in."

.......and we all know that the Bible is the literal Word of God!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets all get together and get this into our Godless Public School System as a viable alternative to what the Godless Geologists profess!!!!!!!!

Who's with me?

And now a word from the illustrious founder of the Hollow Earth Society:

"At the very least Coulter succeeds in raising an important issue -- namely, that American courts currently ignore the religious or quasi-religious character of a philosophy that pervades public institutions and is propagated with public funds. "

D'accord!

Ping!

I've got the book. If a liberal had written something with that much original material in it, it would have been printed as a 8 volume set. Coulter is amazing. If you haven't bought the book, order it now. It's everything and more than people are saying...
