I posted this last night on another thread, but as the Zarqawi Kablewy news was breaking, I doubt anybody read it.

The Jersey Girl comments are a couple of paragraphs out of a whole book that will be all of three days old tomorrow. I, (as well as most of you, I'm willing to guess) have yet to acquire a copy, let alone read it cover to cover. It is the Drive-by Media, the Fourth Estate that has become the Fifth Column, that chose these paragraphs in an attempt to smear Ann and her message, as well as us "nebbishes". In doing so, the Antique Media has made a colossal mistake. To all of you who think that this single bit of hyperbole harms the message, consider the following...

Ann Coulter. One either loves her or hates her or may never have heard of her. Those of us who are CoulterBotts would get the book even if there were NO mention of its existence in the MSM. The Moonbats would have the same reaction to it as Dracula does to Crosses. Sadly, a large percentage of the population is going "Ann who?".

Along comes the MSM smear machine and now Ann and her book are getting noticed by a lot of those people otherwise would have ignored it. A good chunk of those people will at least check it out of the library.

When they do take the time to read the WHOLE book and have a chance to digest Ann's entire thesis, I suspect almost nobody will come away thinking that the Jersey Girl paragraph negates the rest of the body of work.

Let me close by observing that Ann does not operate in a vacuum. There is a whole range of pundits whose styles range from scholarly and reasoned to fiery and passionate and there is room for them all in the pantheon of ideas.

Myself, I'm a 9/11 conservative. Once upon a time I was a Moonbat. I hated Rush, but I listened. Post 9/11 I found myself agreeing with him more and more. I found Fox News and Free Republic, O'Reilly, Hannity and Glenn Beck, and of course, Ann. Thanks to all who helped me turn from the dark side, if I could do it, I think a lot more can too. Goodnight.

Welcome aboard.

I had a different course in life...I was a conservative from the age of 10...a Nixon Republican to boot! (my dad was military, and I HATED what the left was saying about men like my dad...)

Neat post.  Thanks for writing this.

From what I have heard thus far, it will probably be her best work.  Maybe we will be able to get contemporary liberalism listed as a cult now, or at least a hate group.
