No... name calling would be to say Ann IS a tramp. (which I didn't do) Point of fact is to say she LOOKED LIKE a tramp. Which she did.

If you read Bernard Goldberg's Bias, you would recognize Couric's referring to someone calling her a "right-wing tele bimbo" as a sly way that media leftists put out front a warning unfamiliar viewers what they should think about someone. Your statement saying Coulter "looked like a tramp" seemed eerily similar.

Similarly, when Couric and Lauer said the Reagan book author 'called the Gipper an airhead,' they did so out of context, making it seem as if that was the conclusion to which he came. This is what happens when you don't think enough about the message you REALLY want to get across.

It's the crucial difference between "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" and "I play a doctor on TV, but I'm not a real one."

I knew my statement would catch some heat... and I completely accept each of your statements. My point is this... Ann Coulter is not the person I want speaking for me. I don't view her as a true conservative. I view her as a person who has figured out how to get her 15 minutes of fame. That being by wearing short dresses that attract the white male, and then saying the things that he wants to hear.

I know a lot of what I consider conservative men and women. And the women don't dress and act like Ann Coulter. Being conservative is more than the words a person says.

That's just my opinion. I'm not saying I disagree with the statements she makes. I'm saying she's about 4/5ths just an entertainer.
