"Treason," as I've stated before, is way over the top to the detriment, in my opinion (which I believe we're still allowed to have in the United States), of the great points she does make, and will not advance her cause except among those who worship her.

I don't "worship" Ann---I like her writing, and I agree with her points of view. I've read "Treason" cover-to-cover, think that her research and conclusions are impeccable, and have challenged you to rebut them. You have responded by calling me "naive," a "village idiot," and a "worshipper" of Ann Coulter---you even darkly suggest that I am trying to deprive you of the right to express your opinion. What I am trying to do, "if I'm still allowed to do that in the United States," is to challenge you to back up your opinion with substance. If you can't, you can't---you don't have to start crying.

You seem to have a problem with my opinion of the book. You aren't going to change my mind. Let it rest.

I have a problem with vituperative "conservatives" like you who attack a well-researched, well articulated book like Ann's on a topic like "McCarthyism" (which by the way is not the sole topic of her book, contrary to what so many people who haven't read her book seem to think) that is still relevant thanks to the War on Terror and which needs revisiting, with "opinions" they refuse to back up with anything but spleen and epithets.

I don't want to change your mind. I just want you to read Ann's new book. Fair enough?

I haven't been vituperative. I have read the book, cover to cover. My assessment, as I've stated until the cows come home, is that it's over the top. That's an opinion. It's basis is stylistic. There is no need to "debate" it. So you can reply to this and have the last word, because I'm sick of going around and around with you.

Here's a column on a site that is indeed run by Democrats but also criticizes Democrats when they go over the top. They cite numerous instances of what they say is Coulter's sloppy documentation and inaccuracies. I don't know; I haven't read the book because I simply don't read these types of books -- by conservatives, liberals, or anybody else. There's also another column describing how Ann didn't or couldn't respond to some of these things when asked by Alan Colmes.
