If you like Ann's brand of over-the-top, caustic hyperbole persuasive only to people who already agree with her, great! I don't. I find it repulsive, prohibitive to persuading anyone who might be inclined to sympathize with Conservative viewpoints, and generally counter productive to the Conservative movement. The group of those "inclined to sympathize with Conservative viewpoints" is NOT getting the conservative message outside of those brave enough to speak the truth (regardless how "repulsive" it may sound) like Ann Coulter. Yes, Ann C. packs much information into each sentence; and her delivery is intense. How else can she get her point across, and what's wrong with her "calling them as she sees them"?
When appearing on television in group forums, she is constantly interrupted by the outnumbering liberals; and she rarely is able to complete a sentence. Furthermore, the average reader has the attention span of ~30 seconds (a TV commercial); so, her columns attempt to deliver as much information within that short time span.
In today's PC culture, conservative females are our best, if not only, means of presenting the Conservative message. The truth is ALWAYS difficult to accept even in the most benign fashion. Ann's style will not ultimately deter those earnestly seeking the truth.
In today's climate a true Conservative should be glad that the Conservative message is being presented to such a large audience as Ann C's.
Ann's "message" is only being heard by those who want to hear it because they already agree with it. It reinforces what they want to believe. Never underestimate the power of shouting and table pounding to obfuscate an otherwise reasonable message. Like I've said, she's right about the issues, she just goes about it all wrong, and in the process repulses anyone who might be inclined to agree with her because most people simply cannot stomach her hyper-rhetorical vitriol. Her main objective, I assure you, is to make money. Being a GOP cheerleader is quite lucrative these days. Rest assured you'll never find someone who says "Gosh I was a liberal until I saw Ann Coulter screaming in some effeminated Liberal's face as he stammered and sputtered trying to get a word in edgewise". Kuduos if you do. Make sure to PM me.
