Just two points here...

First, why is Ann Coulter labeled as an "agitator" while Franken is not? A little authorial bias, perhaps?

Second, doesn't the "dominance" of conservative themed books put the lie to the slander that conservatives are stupid and anti-intellectual? Or maybe the lefties think that conservatives are buying Ann Coulter's book to color it in.

Classic case of Transference.

I'm incapable of providing for myself at any stage of my life.
I believe I have a right to go through life unharmed by anything, including, but not limited to, those things I inflict upon myself like drugs, bad relationship choices, and McDonald's Quarterpounders.
I'm not sure I believe in a Higher Power, but if I do, I'm sure she's already forgiven me for whatever I've done that might be construed as "wrong," although I do take exception to having my choices and beliefs judged by someone other than myself.

All these things are true of me, so they must be true of you, too.

You really ARE stupid, aren't you!
And you read Ann Coulter.

Therefore, you are stupid and I am not.

Psychology 101 goes a long way toward explaining lib-speak.
