There is always a solid factual foundation and much research underlying AC's verbal pyrotechnics.
Witness, her complete dissemblage of the McCarthyism hysteria (a foundational tall tale of leftist dogma), as well as the compact Cliff Notes version of the problems with the Church of Evolution.
Tone is a matter of taste. I sometimes enjoy being entertained while being educated.
I'm sorry, but I'll side with the church of evolution over the wacky sideshow antics of fundamentalist creationists when they talk about the Earth being only 5,000 years old and then go into the concept of the Rapture.
The church of global warming and the church of creationism have one thing in common...deniers will be castigated!
Is there really a factual foundation for what she says? I would say no. I recall seeing an interview she had with a Canadian Journalist where she was adamant that Canada had been a big help to America in Vietnam, including sending large amount of troops. In actuallity, unless you count the 240 troops sent to monitor the cease fire, Canada sent no troops. They just sold us stuff to help in our war effort.
I'd say if one really wanted to assist the Conservative Movement, just stick to facts and avoid saying things that will undoubtably cause knee-jerk reactions.
She is dead on about the 9/11 widows, too.
Well said.
