Actually it was all over the news.

What if Mary Matalin started criticizing Republicans?

I criticize Republicans, I've even criticized President Bush. I just don't lob bombs of slander, malice, and lies to make a point.

I assume you've read at least a decent amount of Ann's writing--maybe one or two of her books and at least a few columns from Human Events in the last year or two. She does use all of the things you've mentioned to make a point. But when she was doing it against Democrats/liberals, there was no outrage (from conservatives in general, not you or anyone in particular). The reason that I stopped reading Coulter is because, although Ann has an incisive wit and is well read, she uses the above mentioned tactics--at all! Not a desirable quality in a writer, speaker, and so on, unless propaganda is your aim.

If you have to slander someone--even if they are a lib--what good can come of it? Why accept lies and distortions, even if you believe that you're right?

Well, go join Phil Donahue, Alan Combs, Elenor Clift, and Nina Totenberg.

They feel exactly the same way about Coulter.

Suggest you visit 'Anti-Coulter.com' a hate Coulter website.

You'll feel right at home.
