Do you like Ann Coulter?

I have little experience with Ann Coulter. Yeah, I read Al Franken's book chapter, but I haven't read Coulter's books. And if I've actually ever seen her on TV, I must have changed the channel quickly. I just don't see any point in familiarizing myself with her oeuvre.

But others have stronger stomachs than I do. Why, Rob the Un-Apologetic Atheist even went to hear her speak! If you're like me and you've been sparing yourself any exposure to Coulter, go ahead and read Rob's report—and then resume your boycott of neocon hell. But don't read it before bedtime, because it may cause nightmares. (Or indigestion.)

I'm afraid reading it would cause uncontrolled fits of rage...let me take some Herbal Ecstasy and I'll hit that b*tch ;)

Dear God. That woman puts my determination to spread only positive and good vibes to the friggin' test, I tell you.
But I'm liking that blog. Thanks for the link.
Oh, and the crates worked wonders! Thanks for the tip! :)

Ann Coulter scares the crap out of me. Seriously. I don't know what to make of her. How did someone so obviously ignorant get so popular? She fits with the Limbaugh model of information dissimination. How these people can have the number of followers they do is beyond me. They should not have the voice they do in national politics. This isn't about censorship, it's about journalistic integrity.

And truly, I'm not advocating censorship. So once Ann Coulter has a popular column and everyone is paying attention to her and a scary number of people are actually agreeing with her, what do we do about it? I don't know, and that's what scares me.

I read one of her columns one day. I can't remember what it was about, of course, because I was staring at the computer in shock.

This is the woman that one of my co-workers has a thing for? This hate spewing, apparent woman hating, supposed Christian? I'm sorry but I don't get her popularity.

There's a reason why I try to avoid watching the news or reading the paper. She's one of them.
