Predictable reply -- any time someone dares to criticize the inflammatory comments of a conservative activist, the retort is, well what have you done? ...As if an individual doing such "menial" things as door-belling or writing letters to the editor can possibly wield as much power as a public figure. Have you taken a look at yesterday's Dummie Funnies? You can find the mirror image of yourself defending Gore's hypocrisy because he has "done so much for the cause." And the personal attacks are sometimes there for good measure, too!

I have no doubt that Coulter has drawn young people into the conservative movement, just as Michael Moore has drawn young people into the liberal movement. Young people often respond to red meat. I can remember when I first started paying attention to politics and talk radio, I used to eat up anything that was anti-Clinton. There was this guy named Larry Nichols from Arkansas who would regularly be a guest on talk radio and he would tell us how Clinton was on the verge of impeachment (long before the Lewinsky scandal.) And I, like many, would eat it up because that is what I wanted to hear. Eventually, he faded from the spotlight because he cried wolf one too many times. And, eventually, I grew up and realized "red meat" may fire up the troops, but it really is little more than a pep rally.

Do you think Michael Moore, despite the money and the young people he brings in, is a net asset or a net liability to liberalism? Personally, I was thrilled when his crockumentary came out because I think it helped the president win sympathy from the majority of the voters.

So Coulter has swelled the ranks and you've done nothing.

Does that sum up your post?

It's what I thought.

Michael Moore is a pathological liar who hates this country -- who will say anything and do anything to try to bring it down.

If you think he compares to Ann Coulter in any fashion, you are hopeless.

(Which I already suspect is the case.)
