It's true. She matches up perfectly with the Carvilles and Michael Moore's of the world. They can shout at each other to their heart's content. I think that was largely the point of Sullivan's lament. They are all bad for the quality of debate. As long as the left has their screamers, we might as well have ours I suppose. But I agree with Aquinasfan that Coulter's overall effect on conservatism is negative.
I don't even think Coulter believes everything she says. I'd be more inclined to believe she is just a really smart businesswoman and knows what'll sell. I may be wrong though. The world is full of crazy people.

If you make public posts on a public board, everyone gets to stick their nose in : ) That's just the way it is. If you want to have a truly private conversation, send him private messages.
Welcome to the zoo, ant ; )

You mean like comparing Rush Limbaugh to Dick Gephardt, or comparing Bill Gates to Cornell West? Don't get me wrong, Moore is an idiot and Ann is brilliant. But graduating from some lefty University or Law School is not indicative of intelligence.

I find it offensive to continue using the word "liberal" as it is commonly used, as the modern left is the very opposite of liberal. The correct term would be socialist, or leftist as you suggest, I even accept their usage of "progressive" although that too is a misnomer. I have begun to use the term "populist" as an alternative. I like this idea.

My language (not my sentiment) was incorrect and you caught me...good for you.
Now let me clarify: while Anne does use hyperbole and exaggeration to make a point (like the left but generally unlike the right in this country) she does NOT lie...like the left. So, there is a difference and I was not clear. Thanks.

I just want to clarify that her hair was not "tumbling" it was really "cascading" and it didn't go "to her breasts" rather it "framed a perfect supple fullness" of her breasts.
Just for the record.

But slinging the word "traitor" so liberally tars mostly good people. Most Democrats/Liberals/even leftists are not "traitors." Calling them that is insulting, . . .Then call them the left's "useful idiots," helping this nation's enemies to destroy this nation more thoroughly and effectively than any traitor ever did.
They're indistinguishable from most libertarians in that respect.
Whatever call them, they deserve nothing but contempt.
