Yes, it's true, Ann takes traditional Lib tactics and spits
it back in their faces. Remember, those faucets the Libs turned on were on for eight long years, running full-blast.
There is a lot of catching up to do, as Ann sees it, and she's trying to do it virtually alone, and in a position of
lonely defiance. But more than you might think are not only not turned off by her more intemperate remarks---they may in fact be energized and liberated by them. She's in combat mode, just as the Clintonistas were. Her problem is, she's just about the only one, which makes it easier for newspapers and other media to drop her selectively and paint her as an irresponsible loose cannon: there's simply not enough in it for them to defend her"on principle" especially when they're turning off some percentage of their offended readership. (And who really knows how many readers actually said they were "tired of hate"?)

I get it! If one of OUR people says anything even if we use the same tactics, name calling and verbal abuse it MUST be true. If our foes say anything they automatically lie the second they say anything. So we need to talk like them, distort like them, call names like them.
Isn't this why a lot of Americans now feel the two parties are ALIKE -- because the coarsening of America is on BOTH SIDES NOW and no one has the moral ground.
Sorry, I will leave it to you folks to enrich Ann on her next book and laughingly express outrage when liberals use the same tactics that you are endorsing and encouraging.
Sean Hannity's book was a zillion times better than Coulters...because he kept the name calling to a minimum.
