Ann uses hyperbole to bolster her points and fact

LOL!

So exaggeration and lies strenghten a point, do they?

You use invective to stifle debate.

Don't whine. No one's stifling anyone here. No one could.

Come now, take on some of her facts and let's have the debate...

Fine. Point me to an instance of a biologist claiming whales evolved from bears that fell in the ocean.

I think that science should be taught in the church and religion should be taught in the classroom.

On that same page Ms Coulter repeats the lie that there are no transitional fossils.

This is why you don't get Coulter... you have no sense of humor. Tell me, did she provide a footnote for who "they" are and when "they" said it or do you think, possibly, this could be hyperbole to make a larger point?

I'm not judging anybody. I'm not discussing my standards--they're God's. Those standards are called the Ten Commandments. Can you say that you have always kept all ten of them, have never broken one of them? I know that I can't. I don't feel bad about saying that to you because I know that you can't, either.

Let's just do a quick test, shall we?

Have you ever told a lie? If so, you're a liar.
Have you ever stolen anything (small or great)? If so, you're a thief.
Have you ever used God's Name as a curse word? If so, you're a blasphemer.

That's just three of them (there are seven others), and if you're like me you can't honestly say that you have kept those three for your whole life, either. That makes you guilty before God, and destined for hell. Doesn't that prospect frighten you? It should.

On the day of your judgement, you will be measured against God's standards and found wanting. That is why you (like the rest of us) need a Savior. There is only One, and His Name is Jesus.

"I agree with Ann Coulter in principle, but I can't help feeling she is an attention wh*re."

Isn't that the whole idea when one is trying to sell a product that is being distributed nationwide? I believe its called marketing.

Your theology is a little selective. There is plenty about not judging, usually in the context of hypocrisy. But there is also a lot about assessing the character of others by their actions, (fruits), and avoiding association with a whole laundry list of classes of people who could be said to be ungodly. Assessing the character of others and avoiding association with scoundrels requires some judgment.

You are sidestepping the fact that you have specific knowledge about the status of Carl Sagan. Until you retract this lie you are not worth talking to.

Nobody does tongue in cheek humor like Ann. And she knows how to sell books. You go girl!

I've yet to find credible links between species. Yes, there are adaptations and mutations but there has been no link (that I have found in research) to show a change to an entirely dissimilar species.

For as much as Coulter talks about the liberal doctrine of infallability, I believe we're beginning to witness the birth of the right's equivalent - "Ann Coulter Is Never Wrong, And If You Think She's Wrong, She Was Really Just Kidding."

In the odd times she actually bothers with details or hard facts, she writes things like 'evolutionists think whales are bears that fell in the ocean'.

You. Have. Got. To. Be. F***ing. Joking.

You ever hear of the word "lampoon"?

You sound like a really pissed off lampoonee...

Jesus set the example for shunning sinners, didn't he?

Thanks for the link. I would still like the poster to expound on the "Racist rube" comment. I am getting a bit sick and tired of people using the word "racist" when there is no race. Muslims are not a race.

No apology needed or forthcoming. You have completely misunderstood my comment. You wrote, "In the odd times she actually bothers with details or hard facts, she writes things like 'evolutionists think whales are bears that fell in the ocean'."

You disparage her for supposedly not bothering with details or hard facts, but then you go ahead and give an example which is neither. Rather, the example that you gave is an example of her use of hyperbole. Was that absolutely the only example of "details or hard facts" given in her book? You couldn't find any facts whatsoever in the book? Doubtful. Rather, you chose to answer her hyperbole with some of your own, which is equally silly. So, I stand by my original comment.
