Appreciating Ann Coulter
The Conning Tower ^ | 10/23/02 | Trentino

Posted on 10/23/2002 9:23:37 AM PDT by Davis

Let's start with what everyone knows about Ann Coulter. She is tall, blond, pretty, vigorous, lithe, and lissome. Each of these adjectives applies equally well to her prose.

She is also wicked-smart and diligent, too. Look upon her works and you discover that Ann Coulter is not a dealer in slander. but rather relies on a barrage of facts or the single dispositive fact.

For an instance of the mighty barrage, see how she reduces the windbag senator from West Virginia to a pile of rubble simply by listing the institutes and erections named for himself and dotting the landscape in the style of a tin pot dictator of some mosquito-infested banana republic...more

I concede but, alas, what a alto voice in the choir...

Can someone please feed her a few sandwiches though!? She's AIDS-victim thin for cripes sakes.

"Ann wins the battle easily, but her writing style will never win the war. It will just make her popular with the troops."

There's a lot to be said for encouraging the troops. Her writing has made me bolder about expressing my conservative views.

She also demoralizes (and befuddles) the tv liberal parade.

All in all, there's a lot to be said for the ability to confuse the enemy and inspire the troops.

wouldn't you be befuddled if this lithsome blond jumped on you! She is just one of many apologists, but by far one of the best for our cause. She uses her winning wit and charm to overpower the opposition so much that they must continue to resort to name calling and inuendo.
Wish we could clone her a thousand times or more!

"wouldn't you be befuddled if this lithsome blond jumped on you!"

I'm a woman, so that wouldn't do it for me.

I love to read Ann's work. I frequently find myself laughing out loud and my vocabulary has vastly improved. Hard to beat those perks in today's world. Quite honestly, since Florence King has retired from National Review, I wish that lughead Lowry would offer the back page to Ann. Of course, given their prior "disagreement" that won't happen until pigs fly.

Flo was great. I wish she hadn't retired. Ann would be brilliant in that spot.

Note to Bill Buckley: Mr. Buckley, as a "fellow" sailor, I implore you to intercede.

the "jump on you" wasn't about sex, but about her arguments... sorry for not being clear. i was too busy responding to some personal attacks on another thread, and did not spend enough time on my thoughts here!.. I think she is brilliant, and a little sexy, too (I AM MALE, after all!).

I figured you were referring to her ability to position an argument - I was just joking with you. Sorry you're having to deal with clods on another thread. Some days are like that, aren't they?

I doubt Ann would take offense that you think she's sexy.

considering the way she constantly bats back those blonde tresses, and those baby blues, she knows it already...
my wife thinks shes the greatest response the Pub's have to carville, et al.
I just like her for her bold, always aggressive, fact-filled attacks on THE ENEMY! Her femininity provokes a male response to a BABE!!!!!!!! That opens the door for her thought to be heard!
She gets my vote whenever she decides to run. I'll move there!

You obviously haven't read Slander.

Don't take drlimmericks word for it he hasn't either.

And BTW: Ann is a FReeper and you could disappear without a trace if you continue with the personal attacks on her, that is if you are still here.

At least have the courtesy to ping her when you feel like dishing her, as I would love to see her mop up the floor with you.

Is Susan Howard of the NRA your type of lady?

It looks like Howard and Coulter share the same photography studio.

Hahahah.. that's hilarious. I'm giving my opinion and it's a "personal attack". You know, I'm glad you pinged Ann because I'm sure she doesn't give a flip what I think. She's obviously self assured and takes criticism in stride. It isn't as though what I'm saying is something she's never heard. Get a life and stop making feckless threats like some kind of crying child.

Ann says, set us up the bomb and make your time liberals !

If Liberals hate Ann she must be doing everything right. I haven't seen this kind of venom since Reagan.

Not venom, just flabbergasetd that someone in the media isn't towing the liberal line.

I don't consider Coulter part of "the media". The media purports to be objective conveyers of news and information. Ann is conservative and everyone knows it before hand.
