I don't agree with the author's thesis. I think Coulter fills a necessary role and she fills it pretty well.

Ann Coulter does not claim to be a think tank scholar. I'm sure there are many civilized panel discussions one might attend in Washington where domeheads from the Heritage Foundation square off against pointyheads from the Brookings Institution, quoting Hegel and Plato as they joust and parry. Perhaps they are interesting. I do not know. I've never been to one, and neither has anyone else.

I've been listening to Snakes From The Dark Side call the guys on my side every name in the book for thirty years. We're nazis, we're racists, we throw grandmothers out of windows. You look for somebody on our side shooting back, and they give you Tucker Carlson.

Is Ann Coulter over-the-top? Yes. And it's about time. She has a fast mind, an acid tongue, and a lightning wit. Plus brass ovaries... she'll go right on the Morning Show and call Hillary Clinton "Thunder Thighs." Well shocked-I-say-shocked. The same people complaining about that have been writing "The President is a Dunce" columns for three years. Scroom.

Let's have no more of more of these pablum-fed eunuchs up against Carville and Begala so the networks can demonstrate their "objectivity."

I just love the idea that these liberals are finally getting a dose of their own medicine. Traitors! That's what they are... frigging traitors! Go, Ann, go... and pile it on.

Very well said! Thank you for a clear concise response! The liberals have been throwing so much crap around for so long that I'm ecstatic that Annie is calling them to task for their BS.

Coulter clearly energizes conservatives. Nothing wrong with that at all. But I wonder how successful she is at converting neutrals or opponents...or does her acid style even drive some people away who might be amenable to conservative arguments presented in a less polemic manner?

I don't know...just asking the questions.

And oh yeah, an extra cheeseburger once in a while wouldn't hurt her.
