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.

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.
