cuse' me while I choke on the furball you coughed up.
It is a fallacy to believe that people are convinced by others to join our side. If you ask anyone who used to be a liberal, you will find that typically, they woke up one day ashamed of who they were associating with. In short, Liberalism left them, they didn't leave it. Liberalism in its craziness, continues to drive out people who remember to think once in awhile.
Do you think all those people buying Coulter's book are Conservatives? If so, you would be wrong. Coulter clubs people over the head, yet is #1, baby. People will read her book and wake up to the sheer stupidity of the liberal agenda. Also, anyone who would simply accept the comments of others, and not read the book on their own and develop their own opinion, is someone we don't want on our side anyway.
As Coulter says; "The truth cannot be given with Novocain."
Try again when you learn some material you didn't pick up on the playground.

Dead wrong -- I've known many who have been so convinced. Unfortunately, the rising chorus of our own version of moonbats are starting to make them wonder if they made the wisest decision.

You might want to ponder that we might lose a lot of conservatives through the same kind of intra-party shift. You know, like for example when people find themselves starting to be called "pussies" and worse at frequent intervals just for trying to point out that there comes a point where more brains and less testosterone is sometimes a sensible option.

Controversy always sells books. That's good for Ann, at least. But a year from now, what will most of the public remember -- that she published a book that they could get around to checking out -- or that some loudmouthed conservative was shrill and insulting about dead husbands and their widows?

Actually, I've read all her books and appreciated the earlier ones a great deal. But her latest book has had the effect of "waking me up to the sheer stupidity" of a good-sized portion of the conservative movement, and I am hardly the only one. Do you think that's a good thing?

That is just so incredibly naive and short-sighted, I don't even know where to begin on it. Suffice to say that people will draw conclusions based on what they're exposed to, and vastly more people will see the public flap than will happen to end up reading her book.

People don't usually look for it from their Crazy Aunt, either.
Ann Coulter's words are strong. She makes her points, sometimes with a dry sarcasm or bluntness that others don't like. But she's one of the few that will stand up to the left without retreating into the PC mode that is so common among a good portion of Republicans these days. And frankly, her writings are mild compared to my thoughts concerning liberals these days.
I really don't care if some dislike her style, but trying to force distance between conservatism and Ann Coulter is a decidedly cowardly political move. PC is a compromise that is too large to accept. We need 10 more Ann Coulters IMHO.
