<p>"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."</p>
<p>"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them."</p>
<p>"If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether."</p>
<p>"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'fa**ot,' "</p>
<p>"Jews need to be perfected"</p>
<p>I am dumbstruck that anyone could believe a single word that harpy spews out. How has she not been beaten in the streets by now?</p>
<p>Ann Coulter graduated with honors from Cornell and went on to Michigan Law(a top 10 law school) where she finished in the top 10% and edited the Law Review. </p>
<p>Do you think everyone who has different opinions than you is stupid?</p>
<p>Ann Coulter is not dumb, she is like an internet troll in real life. She says ridiculous stuff in her books which creates controversy. The controversy created makes people want to be buy her book and she profits big time. She found a way to abuse our system legally and make tons of money off it.</p>
<p>Perhaps the folks on the left might practice a bit of respect of diversity of thought. </p>
<p>Person attacks on someone different looking or acting or thinking then you is the worst of bigotry. Coulter is a shock jock, but anything less is beaten into submission these days. I admire her bravery at daring to speak aloud a non-PC opinion. </p>
<p>Democracies are built on intelligent discourse. You don't like Ann Coulter - fine, that's your choice. But I found during the election that any attempt at intelligent discussions of Obama's strengths and weakness was met with narrow-minded angry and hostility of the type exhibited in this thread. </p>
<p>When diversity of opinion is crushed by hostile attacks, one has entered the worst of dictatorships.</p>
<p>I have no problem with people with different points of view; I acknowledge that there's a certain logic to some Republican economic positions. I admire conservative thinkers like David Brooks (NYT) and Paul Gigot (WSJ). But Coulter is nothing but a shrill shock-jock. I don't think she deserves any attention at all; IMHO, she's no more sophisticated or worth listening to than a skinhead.</p>

<p>Her opinion is not only non PC, it's completely idiotic and hateful. Watch her interview with Donny Deusch. She sincerely felt that saying "Christians are just perfected Jews" wasn't hateful at all. I don't care what school she went to, it just seems like she says the most controversial thing possible (like many of you said) for the sake of p***ing people off. She has the emotional intelligence of a Post It note.</p>
<p>"If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."</p>
<p>"Liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole."</p>
<p>"There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats."</p>
<p>"We need to execute people like (John Walker Lindh) in order to physically intimidate liberals." </p>
<p>"Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots."</p>
<p>Sorry, if you genuinely say stuff like that, you don't deserve my respect.</p>
<p>Oh my favorite was when she said that the reason the country is so screwed up is because women have jobs and don't take care of their kids. <em>Rolls eyes</em> Whatever. </p>
<p>She's not anti-PC, she's anti-decency.</p>
<p>PS: Dear Ann, I am very liberal. I also am incredibly proud of my country. I get teary-eyed whenever I see an American flag ceremony. I have more people in my family serving in the military than I can count. I lost my brother-in-law in Iraq. But guess what? They serve so that everyone can have freedom. You want to limit freedom to only those who have the same opinion as you. I want freedom for everyone. So in a sense, aren't you the anti-freedom and anti-American one?</p>
<p>"Sigh, clearly someone who defends Coulter surely can't be known for their smarts..."</p>
<p>You disagree with Coulter, so you call her stupid. And then you disagree with me and call me stupid. Name-calling doesn't constitute meaningful discussion. And that's Coulter's biggest beef with liberals: they'd rather label her as an idiot or a nut than debate with her.</p>
<p>Thank you, viciouspoultry. Ann Coulter is actually rather intelligent - she has found a way to be a troll and make a **** ton of money off of America's love of controversy. She can manipulate the percentage of conservatives who are the stereotypical hick types into agreeing with her. She can then demonize herself and her supporters in the eyes of liberals, causing hate towards her whole attitude and the whole fundamentalist republican or whatever thing. Which gets her posse even more steeped in the belief that liberals are just a bunch of hippe pothead activist anti-america fags (not my words, hers). People need to realize she's just a pimple trying to get attention and create mess around her and sell crappy books - don't pay her any attention, she'll recede. </p>
<p>She's kind of like L ron hubbard - you think that asshat believed a word of what he was saying about thetans and diaknetics? NO, he pretended he did to create a global scam that unlike the pyramid scheme, appeared to not be about money. There both smart people - smart, manipulative people who understand just how dumb enough people in America are.</p>
<p>Ann Coulter is a joke. She says outrageous things to shock and disgust liberals. It's how she gets her money and her kicks. That woman deserves absolutely no attention. No intelligent person would even engage in a debate with her.</p>
<p>She's not always that extreme. She gets a lot of attention for the more outlandish things that she says, but if you read her columns and books she has plenty of legitimate political commentary.</p>
