Coulter's modus operandi is bitter sarcasm and hyperbole. A lot of people (obviously) enjoy it and find it to be humorous -- and I admit, I take some joy in her attacks on liberals -- which is one reason her books have sold so well.

However, have you considered why Coulter gets SO MUCH ATTENTION from the mainstream media, compared to other conservative pundits who may comparably present a more compelling face of conservativism? I'd like to suggest the MSM is using her as a weapon against conservatism, to create an image in the public which is in actuality a negative caracature of conservative attitudes. Just consider that possibility. I can't prove it, but I have my suspicions.

Compare for example Ann Coulter to Dinesh D'Souza. He is just as impassioned and much sharper and acute intellectually without the sarcasm and hyperbole. But he doesn't get the attention Ann gets. Why? Well, he comes across as a highly intelligent, well-reasoned debater. Just watch his debates with Hitchens and Daniel Dennett. He's amazing. Why is he not invited on The View, but Ann is? Think about it.

Who?

Indeed!

But; after seeing the YouTube with OBAMA voters* giving THEIR grasp of current events; do we REALLY need intelligent, well-reasoned poeple to sway minds?

I'm not sure...

Yes, I agree with your points on the caricature - she's a thin decent looking blonde conservative chick with some attitude - to put it plainly, thus, they like the fodder to the Left. (reminds me of when al Quieda pushes the false report of Gitmo flushing Korans - enflames Muzzies so well.)

I feel she has value, nonetheless, as someone not ashamed to speak to absurdity of the evil propagated as 'mainstream' as she did in this article in question (nothing to do with Keyes).
