For conservatives, it's a tough choice - how do you get exposure in the Liberal MSM (and Hollywood Reporter is VERY Liberal)? Ms. Coulter's answer seems to be: Say something either faux outrageous, somewhat outrageous or completely outrageous, depending of course on the listeners/readers viewpoint or politics. G-d knows when a Conservative makes a reasoned, rational appeal to the mind, the Liberal MSM refuses to engage them - when was the last time Victor Davis Hanson or Charles Krauthammer were "profiled" in Hollywood Reporter, for example?
While the media focuses on the outrage, Ms. Coulter slips her points in to those members of the public who might be questioning what the hubbub is. The media get a partial win too in that they get to trumpet (yet again) how awfully mean conservatives always are. Who comes out ahead? Not sure.
As many Liberal commenters have said about Ms. Coulter recently, notice how the author also conflates the "Jersey Girls" with 9/11 widows (all of them apparently)- to the casual reader, Ms. Coulter just insulted a few thousand people; to those in the know, she admonished just four.
Many more egregious errors of both omission and commission here in this article.
"...semi-attractive..."???
I even got past the Klan refernce in the first sentence but this is where the writer lost me. A real pundit? Please.
"At the same time, I don't buy the argument that Coulter is merely a significantly slimmer and slightly more feminine Michael Moore. At least Moore tries to provoke discussion. "
Bwahahahaah! I snorted coffee on that one! Ann's got all their panties in a twist, I'm lovin' it. Keep it coming Ann!
Another Lib not at all upset with Ann's "Godless" title attributed to Liberals.
Well, writing this sure beat having to review the book, eh Mr. Richmond?
Carlin was probably warned by the "Cars" people not to say anything that would hurt their box office. Ann just stuck the knife in by being nice to him. ("I showed the manuscript to the smartest liberal I knew... That was before I met you, George.")
Ray Raymond seems to be an unhappy camper.
Ray, please don't drive angry.
"At least Moore tries to provoke discussion!"
Yeah, right.
Michael Moore provokes dessert, and he's superb at it!
Isn't it the tradition here that someone post photographic representations of Ms. Coulter's appearance and let the people decide?
LOL! Perfect retort!
I am shocked. Where was this guy when the book about Bush's drug habits was all over MSM? How about Michael Moore's crap fest? Only conservatives are "radical nutjobs."
Michael Moore is a fat, ugly, middle-aged white male and he is lionized on talk shows and in Hollywood for saying things far more offensive than anything Miss Coulter has ever said.
decide or drool, yes, there ARE rules...
Maybe it's the West Hollywood Reporter.
Well, remember, the guy who wrote this is semi-literate, so that's probably the best he can do.
hear hear!
the libs are wailing because Ann is getting mroe attention than Gore's movie.
Good call. I'm pretty sure that balding white guy has a longer shelf-life than this "reporter".
