She was recently interviewed by Time magazine, and her image was bestowed on the cover. Ann Coulter, the demagogic ultra-conservative who is deeply despised by liberals for her lippy radicalism towards anyone left of John Ashcroft, has apparently made a legitimate profession out of hate. Evidently, Time must really be scraping the bottom of the yellow journalism barrel for their cover stories these days, if they are featuring a woman whom Jerry Falwell calls in the Time article, a little aggressive.
What surprises me is how easily her ad hominem, screwball attacks have taken hold in America. Is this what public political discourse has been reduced to? An educated woman of impressive resume status goes on talk shows to display her ignorance by spewing sensationalist sound bites, like I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days [to talk to liberals] and I'm so pleased with my gender. We're not that bright. Coulter has also written a few books on these subjects as well.
Throughout her books, which include titles like, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right and How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), Coulter rattles the cages of liberal-thinkers with incitive barrages. There is not a shred of regard or empathy for the other side of the coin, and she wallows in grossly offensive statements like a pig in warm mud. I suppose I am fascinated by the fascination. Maybe her notoriety has partly to do with her looks.
Coulter is an emaciated leggy blonde with a penchant for Ally McBeal power suits, the ones where the skirt just barely covers her skeletal derriere. In the Time article, the writer John Cloud attributes Coulter as having a willowy, sex-kitten pulchritude and also wrote that she has an aura of privilege [and] wealth.” To me, Ann Coulter looks much like the women you might find in a backwater Nevada brothel. A pack-a-day, over-wrought, mouthy lady of the night with poorly dyed roots.
She did get crocked on white Bordeaux during her interview with Time magazine. White Bordeaux to Thunderbird wrapped in a brown paper bag is not a far leap if she ever buckles under the pressure of her controversial iconic existence. To not take her seriously, is advice better taken by herself. Coulter should try and avoid sleeping with the gin, or taking the Limbaugh Ludes (Vicodin), that will be just the angle her liberal fan base needs to discredit her entirely. Even if she holds it together, her name is only about five famous minutes away from becoming an FCC indecency violation.
Let's talk about Coulter's state of mind. Coulter insists it is liberals who are in need of a mental overhaul. She told a Frontpage Magazine reporter last year, Liberalism is a mental defect. Liberals are wracked by self-loathing as the result of some traumatic incident. ...There was an absence of the sort of trauma that would deprive me of normal, instinctual reactions to things. Interesting. To be perfectly certain, not even the hardest nosed, far-right conservative would suggest that the United States nuke North Korea for fun. She is definitely lacking in international relations skills. Even the most pious fire and brimstone religious zealot would shy from saying as Coulter did, God says, Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours. Coulter seems to be the dangerous lunatic.
Metaphorically, she is a terrorist of ideas and has her bony fingers poised over the button that would detonate any and all freedom of thought. Conservatives, liberals, and everyone in between should worry about her level of celebrity. This country needs a civilized exchange on politics, which includes a modicum of deference.
Ann Coulter is not just snickering at liberals on her way to the bank, she is also toasting the appetite America has for the unintelligent rabble-rousing she so deftly produces. Hopefully her stock of white Bordeaux runs out soon.
But I thought the whole idea was to make America a better place in keeping with the ideals of the founders. That means changing minds and hearts and attitudes. I don't see her as having made a significant contribution to that goal. JMO.
But Randi Rhodes is ok, cause she just jokes her radical ideas? BAH!
Looks have nothing to do with it. This Aubrey what's-her-name is just another flaming liberal who takes herself too seriously. She thinks we're all too dumb to know hyperbole when we hear it. Good gawd, get over yourself, Aubrey.
at least her attacks are backed up with facts, unlike this hit piece.
Hey! 61 posts and only one black n white photo. I better learn how to post a pic so I can pick up the slack.
Don't forget tampons
"Coulter is an emaciated leggy blonde"
And Jerold Nadler is a (you fill in the blanks).
And Maxine Watters is a ...
And Judy Woodruff is a ...
These people can't stop spewing venom even when they're complaining about venomous conservatives.
You asked for it...
Just a head shot. Your PC screen isn't big enough to view my ample buttocks.
--Aubrey Salazar
She looks like a younger version of CNN Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr.
The author is just mad because left wing women are not marriage material.
NO Aubrey.. that would be a democrat.. you know a Jerry Springer type..
Ann is about the leanest meanest RINO exposer of all time..
Democrats, other liberals, and left wing Moonbats are topics of conversation to expose the RINOs..
RINOs you see Aubrey are the REAL enemy.. democrats are inconsequential..
Democrats would be laughed at except for the RINOs..
Ann Coulter has zeroed in on Americas REAL DISEASE...
The real stealth traitors.... RINOs.. that legitimize the democrats..
The libs got in a snowball fight with a girl and are angry because they are getting pelted twice as hard as they can throw.
You apparently aren't that familiar with the concept of satire.
You also accuse her of making ad hominem attacks and then make such attacks against her.
Coulter is purposfully abrasive. She's overly dramatic on purpose. She makes outrageous statements to draw people's attention to the detailed and throughly researched facts she presents.
It's a unique way of presenting information, but those who criticize her don't attack her on the core facts, they attack her on the delivery.
That is so right. For too long conservatives have politely waited for the left to finish their arguments, have conceded some point to seem even-handed and started to make their own point only to get a pie in the face. Ann shows us that it's stupid to do any of this. Take two steps forward, get in their face and keep them sputtering and on the defensive. It works ever so much better. Maybe we can go back to polite, slow, reasoned discussion some day, but not as long as they keep their fingers in their ears and yell blablbalblalbalblbla. Ann showed us the most effective way of dealing with these kids.
And performs a damned admirable public service in the process.
But ask for her views on almost any subject (except gay marriage and abortion "rights") and she lines up well with Ann Coulter (and me, of course).
