"Coulter is in the business of throwing red meat to the hard right for one purpose only: to enrich herself."

BS. Coulter has been broke until very very recently because nobody would publish her or allow her on TV.

Not even National Review. Apart from Human Events, which is a great magazine but pays nothing, she never even had a media outlet until John Kennedy, Jr gave her some space in George.

Her first books, though best sellers made her next to nothing. (It's a long story, but not uncommon.)

She could have made a fortune as a lawyer or as a less polemic (more politically correct) pundit a long time ago. She refused to change for money.

It is so tiresome to see people smear her as greedy when she lived in near poverty for most of her adult life because of her loyalty to her beliefs.

You don't know what you are talking about, yet you do it so authoritatively.

Why is that?

BTW, does everything said by every pundit who calls himself a conservative pass your litmus test? And if not, where are your posts condemning them?

This is a feeding frenzy for the self-righteous (and jealous).

Nonsense. While I can't speak to her finances, she has had plenty of breaks in her career:

Born December 8, 1961, Coulter graduated cum laude from Cornell University in 1984, and received her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an editor of The Michigan Law Review.

At Michigan, Coulter founded a local chapter of the Federalist Society and was trained at the National Journalism Center. Coulter practiced corporate law for four years, then became a congressional aide in Washington, D. C. in 1994, to Republican Sen. Spencer Abraham.

In 1996, the fledgling television network MSNBC hired Coulter as a legal correspondent and political pundit, launching her media career.

In 1998, Coulter published High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, which became a best-seller.

In June 2005, Coulter purchased a $1.8 million home on Palm Beach Island in Florida.

Finally, calling into question the motives of those who justifiably criticize Coulter's own self-admitted polemic style merely demeans your own ability to debate.
