"Our final response also proves paradoxical: one only beats Coulterism by joining it. That is to say, one should not respond by defending the universals that Coulterism attacks but by joining in that attack and by seeking to proliferate the number of forms they take. Thus, the challenge is to prevent Coulter from re-occupying the universal, and this means to do to her what she has sought to do to liberalism. Coulter wants a dirty fight; perhaps we should respect her wishes."

Well, pissant, after reading the whole thing, your one line best sums it up, "That's alot of gobbleygook to say Ann is kicking butt and naming names."

The whole article is a put down of ideologically inflexible reactionary liberals

The last paragraph could be a call for liberals to use the Coulterism method to attack liberalism itself and get with their interpretation of modern political reality.

It'll never happen.
They have no "left-wing" version of Ann. :o)
