How so?
Is Ann Coulter a role model? Does she make folks think long and hard about facts or her features?
Does she err on the side of substance or is she someone Log Cabin Queens give snaps for her wit as well as wardrobe?
I think those who are "good for the cause" are those who couldn't care less about popularity or success but who remain faithful and true to what is essential.
And what is essential is often invisible to the eye and has nothing whatsoever to do with momentary political gains of one sort or another or sitting around scoring points (or collecting salaries) -- Whoreowitz style -- at the expense of others.
Particuarly given the consistently leftist mode and premises on which both parties operate anymore, I guess I would be very wary of paying too much attention to the "media darlings" of either side.
You seem to be implying that she is bad for the cause. I heartily disagree. She can be a step towards a conversion from liberalism towards conservatism. I am surprised you don't see this. It won't happen overnight. Have you read the columns of Ben Shapiro? He is only 20 years old. Perhaps he's the forerunner of a new conservatism. He's alot smarter than Coulter.

I thought I answered that in some of my other posts in this thread, although maybe not to you, but I'll try again.
She can get people interested in conservatism. See her, buy her book and then find out about Chambers and look deeper. And then understand. And then become an activist.
I read your reference. You seem to think as Chambers did that the battle is lost. Could it be you're wrong?
