I know, I know - another Ann Coulter thread. I wanted to start a fresh thread because of a question. I am two thirds through her latest book, Godless, and I began wondering about something. Why is she being attacked and skewered for her comments on the Jersey Girls? Other than her views on evolution - which, as far as I know, are only commented upon on Free Republic - the mass media does not comment on anything else she has written in the book. She has commented on Howard Dean, Cindy Sheehan, John Edwards, his wife, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, RFK, Jr., et al. In fact, one comment concerning Sheehan - where she says Sheehan is proof some body types should not wear shorts - should be gravy for the media. Why the fascination with the Jersey Girls? Is it because people do not want to question the 9/11 commission - which they wanted - and find out it was a rubber stamp to exonerate the Clintons?
I was "for" Goldwater before I was even old enough to vote. It was also before he became senile.
i think much of it has to do with the fact that the rest of the arguments in her book are solid. they were searching for a way to make the "soccer moms" that Ann talks about in some of her books, How To Talk to a Liberal, for instance, perk up and say "That is so wrong!" as they watched the biased media relating half-quotes.
just my 2 cents.
