I tend to think that the way she goes about getting that attention is counterproductive to the conservative cause and feeds into the stereotypes about conservatives being mean-spirited and hateful. You're welcome to disagree.

I'm being quite serious when I ask you how someone could prove your opinion is in error?

Would it be possible for you to show that Coulter appeals to more than a certain segment of "the base", and that in fact, people who disagree with her find her points worthy of further thought?

Has she ever convinced a significant number of people to change their minds, or is she just "preaching to the choir"?

Coulter is in demand for the "shouting heads" shows both because of her provocative dress and because she is sure to say something outrageous.

I'm basing my opinion in large part on personal experiences however: when I disagree with a family member, friend, or coworker, I'm more likely to consider their arguments if they approach me with calm, thoughtfulness, and logic, than if they attack me with insults and bombast.

How about you?
