I could care less what this woman has to say now after how she referred to those of us that want to see the constitution of this country upheld. I used to be her number one fan....

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt, though I classify myself as a "birther".

I'm thinking that she needs to take that stance, though she may be secretly a "birther".

As a very high-profile columnist and commentator and author, she needs to maintain her credibility. I'm not saying that the "birther" movement doesn't have credibility, but, Ann could not have committed herself to the movement unless she was 100% certain that Obama was in fact not "a natural born American". If she had committed herself to the movement and it's later proven that Obama was "in fact" born in the U.S., she and a lot of others would have lost a major part of their credibility.

The regular Joe Blow "birther" out here would not have as much to lose as a Coulter, or an O'reilly, and we can take bigger chances than them with our theories. The risk to those people is a lot greater than to us regular folk out here. Imagine that she did in fact reveal herself to be a "birther". and it's later proven that Obama was a natural born American. Then, imagine that she writes a book in which she tries to take on the liberals and Obama and their agenda, like we know she has in the past. The people with "CDS" (Coulter Derangement Syndrome) would have a field day destroying her credibility and her book as having been written by "a loony birther".

So, that's why I believe that Coulter could not have joined the movement even though she might secretly want or believe in the "birther" movement.

Ann may "secretly want" to discredit Obama, but maybe she doesn't "believe" that the "birther" charges are true or provable.

That makes her different (in this case, anyway) from people who believe what they want to believe because they want to believe it.
