You don’t understand the difference between Invective humor and namecalling. All of Queen Ann’s jokes have a foundation of truth and that is what the commies hate about her.
PravdABDNC is using censorship to keep her off “their” airwaves since they know they fear her to their bones. But yeah, you can go ahead and hide behind your holier than thou attitude under the bed.

Ann is using her sharp tongue and pen to expose their true character and undermine some of this power.
In the face of the increasingly “strident” and often outright THREATENING vitriol from the left,
it’s nice to have someone that doesn’t ascribe to the “New Tone” of just rolling over and taking it.
Fred Thompson for President! Ann Coulter for Press Secretary!
More often than not, Ann's "bitchy" moments are simply her saying similar things that libs have said about conservatives without an uproar. If Bill Mahar wishes Cheny dead, no problem. If Ann wishes John Edwards dead, national crisis.
I'm with Ann and don't give a flip what Lizzy Edwards thinks. In fact, it proves Ann's point!
SHOW OF HANDS
Alright,
everyone that is a Constitutional Lawyer
and
a Best Selling Author,
raise your hands.
"They did it too" is not a very compelling argument. It's wrong when Bill Maher says it; it's wrong when Coulter says it.
They can’t do that!
That’s Hillary’s campain song!!!!!
The difference between Micheal Mooreon and Ann only start at their weight.

The bitch mentioned in the song isn’t a woman, per se. It’s Elton John himself as seen by his songwriter. ABC will have the real bitch to contend with if he finds out that ABC has assigned his song to Ann Coulter.
The simple fact is that we need Queen Ann. We have enough of yous in the Republican Party.
You are the first one in line to throw every conservative under the bus that the Dims claim is dirty. We have enough jello spined conservatives and far too few Ann Coulters. Go find a Party that doesn’t upset your fair constipation.

A while back, I read about someone at DU gleefully bragging about being a longtime Freeper, who is trusted and listened to on FR.
I can’t imagine it being either of you because you’re just not that slick.
I don’t think Ann’s “justifying” her stridency by pointing out those on the left that say as much or worse.
What she’s doing is showing the comparative outrage of the “objective news broadcasters” between her statements and leftists’ statements.
She exposes the double standard, though it’s already obvious to most. She’s further grinding the left’s nose in their own bias.
Coulter has become a net negative for conservatives within the last year. You don't need to call somebody a fag or wish somebody dead just because the libs use such rhetoric (yes, with relative impunity.)
Coulter is too smart to let her intelligent banter be sidelined by her unneccesary, go-for-the-jugular rhetoric.
She definitely presents her opinion, but she also presents a great deal of well researched facts to support that opinion and which you can evaluate to form your own opinion.
Moore blatantly, intentionally distorts the facts and misleads people to push his agenda. You can't really even honestly say that Moore is presenting his opinions, because if you carefully examine his documentaries, it is obvious that he doesn't believe what he is saying is the truth, he believes what he presents will compel people to support his agenda.
Moore doesn't try and honestly portray things in his "documentaries". Ann might sensationalize things a bit with over the top, caustic humor, but what she presents is based on fact.
Moore uses innuendo and compromising "ambush journalism" to make ideological points.
You forgot the selective editing, the use of biased and non-credible sources (Castro's government), and interviewing people that hold minority views and presenting them as if they are widely held views.
Coulter is lacking in manners, but not in integrity.
Moore lacks both.
Manners aren't really critical to being a credible source of information, unless you're too hung up on political correctness to care about what the truth really is.
Never went to DU - and I've always been a what-you-see-is-what-you-get guy around here.
Since when did one's like or dislike of Coulter become a litmus test of one's political stances anyway?
Say anything you want about her, she has opened the field for others to discuss areas the liberals have created as taboo.
I’ve always been a what-you-see-is-what-you-get guy around here.”
“she is essentially the Right’s version of Michael Moore.”
IMHO, we-ain’t-getting-much.
Moore is a sleazy, lying, whore.
Ann Coulter tells it like it is.
Comparing her to Moore is disingenuous.
Then, you are apparently unable to discern sarcasm and biting wit, and the importance of it in our political discourse since the country was founded.
It's all about free speech, especially where the rough and tumble of politics is concerned.
Turning the other cheek is for WIMPS (and apparently, President Bush).
I say, fight the bastards tooth and nail.
Ann does that and doesn't back down.
MUCH of what Ann says is just demonstrating what liberals do on a daily basis, and WITHOUT getting the left-wing media's bowels in an uproar.
As usual, there's a double-standard.
Bill Maher says Cheney should die and there's hardly a protest from the left-wing media. Ann issues the same type of statement about Edwards, to help demonstrate the double-standard, and gets the expected, quick and extreme response from the same left-wing media that was virtually silent about Maher's comments.
We need MORE strong Conservative voices that can take it, and then dish it right back (a DOUBLE-DOSE of it, in Ann's case) with intelligence, force, humor, satire, sarcasm, etc.
Ann should be cloned.
