It isn't Coulter, it's you people who simply are incapable of allowing other people's opinions to diverge from yours even one iota on anything. It must always be your way or the highway. Your way, or the person is suddenly, as you put it, "elitist, stupid, or both" -- or any other epithets you can think up.
I have NEVER been a fan of Ann Coulter even though I largely agree with her conservative political views. Her shrill nastiness has always been a turnoff for me. If you were able to go back through my long history here on FR, you'd know this is true. Yet I will step up and defend her here and now.
She has a right to her opinions. You most certainly don't have to agree with any of her opinions, but to suddenly put her in the "enemy" camp because she has one or two views that don't comport perfectly with yours is what's really stupid.
If folks with your mindset keep doing this -- ruling everyone out who doesn't agree with you perfectly 1000% -- eventually the only person left who will be acceptable to you will be the one staring back in the mirror each morning.
I find it completely incongruous and illogical to write books extolling the virtues of conservatism & dangers of liberalism while pushing RINOs.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, regardless of how wrong they may be. You talk of me/us putting her in the “enemy” camp. Well, the biggest “enemy” Conservatives face may not be Liberal Democrats, but Liberals who reside in the Republican Party calling themselves Conservatives. Those types, who are what I mean by RINO’s, truly don't agree with Conservatives. I don't even think they like us. Oh, they will throw us some crumbs to attempt to garner votes, but if they had their way, they would sooner have an Obama in office versus a real Conservative.
Honest Conservatives can have disagreements over minor issues. I don't expect the 1000% perfect candidate. But on core issues, there are no disagreements. Romney doesn't believe in most of those core issues. Christie is showing signs he doesn't either.
