Having Ann scream that something was done to her just for publicity is like Chad Ochocinco saying he just wants to be left alone to play football.

I've always worried about Ann having what I call "Madonna Disease"(tm). Having found success by being outrageous, they must constantly out-trump their last outrageous behavior in order to continue to draw attention. There's a point where simply being outrageous causes one to delve into either the totally stupid or totally disgusting - at which point you flee to England and admonish everyone about how to be responsible parents.

Annie's not there yet and she has more brains than Madonna but publicity-whore actions like speaking at Homocon is part of the trend and then squealing like a stuck pig when others drop you from their speaker rostrum is, I dare say, moving closer to becoming ultimately irrelevant.

>>”Madonna Disease”(tm).

Shallow pecuniary “Shock Jocks” cultivating a right-leaning audience?

Yep.

There was this guy named Alan Berg I used to listen to in Denver back in the early 80s. He made an audience by defending HIS views; the truth he perceived with his own eyes and free mind.

I didn’t always agree with him - but listening to him dissect and shred an opposing viewpoint was very educational.

Which of course is why he was murdered by Aryan Supremecists who, much like the pink-swastika Nazis of GOProud today, were impotent in their ability to articulate a reasonable defense for their behaviors.

Too bad - Coulter Vs Berg would have been very interesting.
