Nah, Richard Baehr was not thinking.
The GOP’s problems are far bigger than anything Ann Coulter might write or say.
This is just another ridiculous non issue being raised to avoid dealing with the real ones.
There's a place in the conservative movement for people like Ann, and it's limited to debating people like Carville, one-on-one.
She speaks in a no-nonsense way that regular Americans can relate to... not meaningless phrases, that are deliberately misleading in their efforts to hide the truth, from the politically correct leadership of both major political parties.
The rational middle that is squishy on policy stands, and uncomfortable with bold language knows that Ann Coulter is one of the more aggressive voices on the Right. They can take that into account and balance it with the party overall, and don't see Ann Coulter and then immediately dismiss the party as a whole.
If the GOP isn't big enough to have Ann Coulter's in it, then there is no need for the party at all, because conservatives would rather march arm-in-arm with her, then those who criticize her.
If Ann is actually as retrograde “Fundamentalist” as her remarks to Donny Deutsch suggest, then the real shock of this is that she is actually that way, and has kept it “hidden” for so long. On the face of it, there was nothing wrong with her remarks, except that they could be construed the wrong way/ That great intellect Donny Deutsch did not give her much leeway, and was not interested in exploring the subtleties of her statements, but instead rhetorically forced the issue, and that was to be expected. She should have learned by now how to turn his “arguments” against him.
