Unfortunately, Ann Coulter can only see things through her own narrow viewpoint, so as a shameless and master manipulator of the media for her own personal gain (don't tell me that this is not going to push her book sales through the roof!) she assumes that everyone else acts in the same regard.
How sad.
We all know that Ann Coulter is a media whore, we just don't know the exact extent of it yet. It would be nice if a "leak" appeared somewhere revealing just how much money AC is being piad to say these things.
Its obvious to me that since a lot of people ARE starting to debate whether 9/11 was a planned event, this venemous Swift-boast (typo not intended, but left there anyway) strategy has sprung up. And if you look closely, you can see that on an emotional level it's an exact 1:1 counterspin (to the gut impact of our govt. being behind 9/11)!
No human being, without a lot of money involved, could mouth the kind of crap coming out of Coulter's blow-cramped lips.
It would be great to see what Jon Stewart could do to skewer her in a similar fashion to the lambasting that Bill Bennett took the other night. Alternatively, Stephen Colbert (the most consistently courageous funnyman in America) could probably hoist her with her own petard by having his fawining right wing persona allow her to make an even more enormous fool of herself with her own shameful invective than she already has in her publicity rounds for new new book. This witch must be brought down!!
Kind of funny to think of Hitler doing the Oprah show. Almost.
just an act
My belief is that she is engaged in an Andy Kaufman-esque comedy routine.
Exactly. This is the Ann Coulter Null Hypothesis. If she is, then I love her. I've always thought the same thing about Victoria Jackson, but she's more transparent.
...some years back, and Jon Stewart was his usual fabulous self interviewing her. Unfortunately, that segment isn't available online; she refused to sign the necessary release. AND she's never been on the show again.
P U !
Ignoring Coulter with the thought that she'll "go away" or encouraging her with the thought that she'll eventually alienate Republicans with her stupidity and viciousness are two approaches that don't appreciate what she is tapping into. A lot of Americans are bored, uneducated, overstressed, filled with vague feelings of hatred, inferiority and frustration, and conditioned to appreciate bullying and sadism. They sense that something has gone wrong with their country but don't grasp what it is. People like Coulter trot out a lot of hackneyed cliches: "it's the effeminate liberals, the gays, coloreds, atheists etc." and immediately people can channel their rage and contempt. If Adolf Hitler were alive today he would be on the bestseller list right next to Coulter.
I wonder what Coulter's husband and children think of her statements. Oh wait, she's not married and she doesn't have any children. She made her bones as a lawyer for Paula Jones and she regularly lies about her age and her home address. She's a poster thing for all the right wing psychopaths in this country. Factually she's everything the wingers hate. She's a lawyer. An unmarried and childless professional woman. She's too horrible to marry, too skinny to menstrate much less produce a viable egg to fertilize and she runs her mouth instead of cooking dinner for her family. Bad right winger!!!
Coulter knows the effect she has on liberals and neo-cons, she promotes it and exploits it.
The hateful gibberish she spews has no other purpose than to create controversy. Like the ID cretins and the promoters of the same sex marriage amendment she offers no reasonable or logical arguments for her positions, just start a fight and the ignorant knuckle-draggers howl their approval.
I don't think Coulter actually believes the shit she spouts, unlike "W" or Bill O'Reilly she only sounds like a retarded chimp. She is the ultimate scary clown.
Stephen Colbert's squewering of Bill O'Reilly is so funny because "The Dumbest Man on TV" is obviously a true believer. I can't imagine anyone mocking Ann Coulter. What's the point of parodying a clown?
Is there still hope?

There's a saying: "You're a Republican until it happens to you."
My favorite thing to do on my day off is browse through my local bookstore.
Over the years I've SPENT a lot of money there. Just as I entered Barnes
and Noble today I was slapped in the face by a lifesize display of AC's
latest book, 'Goddess'. Here she is on the cover staring seductively out at all her
adoring public, which must be all horny old men. She looks like she's posing
for Penthouse or Playboy magazine, so that should tell you right there the woman
does not have anything of any substance to say. Are her publishers selling sex or
politics? I gather from the cross she's boldly wearing that she is religious.
Hmmm? Wonder if she wears that lowcut little black dress topped off with the
cross in her bare cleavage to church on Sundays? Wonder how many family values
Republicans peruse the book when they're shopping at B&N with their children?
I look for B&N to start displaying the National Enquirer or The Globe or some of
those other trashy supermarket tabloids right up front. It will be a very long
time before I make another purchase there, if ever.
She is a sick, ugly woman. And when I say "ugly," I refer not to her witchy, horse-faced countenance, but to the ugly hatred that fills her mind and soul.
I don't agree that she says this stuff just to get attention. I've met far too many people in my life who wholeheartedly believe the hateful, bigoted bilge that spews from her lips to think it's impossible that anyone could really think this way. She does, and thus has a delightful surprise waiting for her at the Pearly Gates:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Coulter, but you're not on the list. The down elevator is, appropriately, to your right."
