I have never been a fan of Coulter, as a few people on this site are aware. Nyhan very skillfully points out a number of reasons why I am leery of her, e.g., a mean streak a mile wide and a tendency to play fast and loose with quotes. In a few places above Nyhan definitely proves that Coulter misled her readers by a deliberate misuse of quotes.

Coulter is quite brilliant and funny, and I'm sure she'd be great at a dinner party. But as a spokesperson for conservatism she is too often too harsh, and as such undermines the cause she purports to champion.

Does he, or is he lying? I don't know. I'd like to see someone from the right address some of the claims of this author. Who's to say that he isn't doing in this article the very thing that he's accusing Ann of doing.

I'll reserve judgment until someone with some credibility addresses these. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ann's version proven correct.

It's an attention getting device, IMO. Why do you think she gets the attention she gets? She doesn't do what she does to be ignored.
