Does Ann Coulter make a positive contribution to American political culture? Yes: 17.5% No: 80.9% Don't know: 1.6%
Total Votes Cast: 130338

I voted against Anne. I like giving the democrats a false sense of hope.
Don't give Time clicks. Unscientific and helps them get money to promote their anti-American activities.
It is popular opinion, at the DU. LOL.
They spend a lot of time distorting these online polls. pMSNBC and CNN especially. No matter the subject it's always 80/20 liberal.
Rule violation.
The DU'ers use bots to vote. Funny, when FR first freeped on line polls the liberals that ran them yelled foul. Now when DU'ers use programs to boost their votes the liberals say what ? "crickets"...
"I voted against Anne. I like giving the democrats a false sense of hope."
I would normally agree. Not sure in this case. This poll's getting a lot of hits. If Coulter gets enough support, then that helps validate the book, Treason. That is a very important book. FReegards....
What a loaded question. I prefer Steyn, Malkin, and Noonan. But Coulter is necessary - she's a bombthrower but thats just what we need. She's deals the Hateful Leftists back in spades. She pushes the envelope, giving more maneuver space to less volatile writers who would be shouted down if Ann wasn't running point.

Now, who really thinks that TIME magazine will run an honest poll?
Yup. DesignerChick owes me a sixpack ;)
Yes is already climbing up a little. FReegards....

"...bomb thrower" ??? Isn't that O'Reilly's nomenclature for folks who throw out unsubstantiated and un-researched claims? for all her bombast ("pun-ish" yes), Miss Coulter is pretty darn well researched, and can back up her statements with accessible references. I doubt the same could be said about "EVERY" bombthrower on the left.

Ann gets under the skin of Dems and GOP-haters of all stripes. Why? She's beautiful, she's successful, and she makes no apologies for her views. Gotta love it!
Screw O'Reilly, he's a blowhard. By bomb-thrower I mean someone who mocks, ridicules, and shames the opposition.
Who cares if she wins or loses?
She will always make liberals angry, while we sit back and laugh at them. It's impossible for them to directly attack an educated, attractive woman, so let them do it on internet polls that noone sees anyway.
LOL....I laugh at polls. It's kind of like a child telling you that she should be allowed to do something because her friend is doing it. Polls just don't hold any weight with me.
It isn't so much whether SLIME will run the poll honestly -- it's on-line, for Pete's sake, how much can they really spin the results? -- the real question is whether people who respond to the poll are doing so honestly, and I think not.
Look at the numbers and ask yourself, "How many of those people even thought about the question before they responded?" I think most of the people givin Ann the "thumbs down" simply tossed the question aside and, made their response based solely on a visceral, "Oh, I can't STAND her!"
SLIME won't have to "spin" this poll; the respondents are doing the dirty work for them.
