I think Coulter helps the cause.

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.

Bold language and no-nonsense talk is fine, desireable even - provided that one can recognize that pouring salt into a known and somewhat fresh wound with a group on an issue that has nothing to do with politics is simply stupid, simply over the top.

As I’ve said on many occasions on this and similar threads, I find myself in agreement with Coulter about 95% of the time. But not this time. She’s entitled to her beliefs and to state them - no one (or at least not me) has said or implied otherwise. But if YOUR GOP isn’t big enough to include people who sound off in equally plain talk in disagreement with one other member of the Party who on this ONE occasion may have overstepped the bounds of decency, then maybe your GOP has no purpose.

I must’ve missed the memo that says that we all have to march in lockstep on every issue. My GOP must’ve forgotten to pass it out.
