How is saying you don’t like Coulter posting “like a troll—but are not one”?

I have been here a while, and I do know that blind worship of any so-called conservative is not what FR is about.

O.K., it looks like we may have a TIE in this current thread's "straw man" contest. :o)
For those of you who are playing along at home, the "straw man" logical fallacy involves changing the other person's position to something that you can attack more easily -- particularly when it is not true -- so that you can then refute that easier "pretend" (i.e., "straw man") argument.
As a PROMOTOR, I get this kind of thing a lot -- particularly on threads about Governor Palin.
For the record, I believe that you can AGGRESSIVELY SUPPORT and PASSIONATELY DEFEND public figures who are on our side of the issue MOST of the time without "worshiping" them.
