Lots of people don't understand humor and sarcasm. Thus we have the ">sarcasm off" device here on FR. Ann is a treasure and her "over-the-top" comments should be taken as humor and like all good humor with plenty of truth in her statements.

We needed her in the '60s and early 70s. Like football, war and politics can be a game of inches. With Ann, Vietnam's fate may have turned out differently because she would have been so valuable in showing that the campus Left was not so cool and trendy. Oops guess I'm going over-the-top with that one but every inch/argument/activist helps.

Do Ann's critics here on FR get out and try to influence the thinking on campuses? Or do they just nitpick her from a comfortable couch potato perspective?

[...We needed Ann in the '60s and early 70s...]

There were plenty of people like her then, but
no conservative media. John Birch, Maureen
Reagan, Julie Nixon, Andy Rooney, R. Buckmister
Fuller, William F. Buckley to name a few.
Ann would have been missed and dissed back then.
She is here, now, for such a time as this.
