Ann Coulter is a hurtful brand of pundit

If you want to attack from a position of superiority, you have to take the high road. I don't think Aubrey really gets how absurd it is to criticize someone for "ad hominem attacks" while ridiculing her looks and mannerisms and insulting her in the worst possible way. I'm no fan of Ann's, but whatever her faults, the culture deserves her.

I see this recent Coulter controversy as good.
Here's why..the democrats can't stand anyone, ANYONE, being able to point out, or give criticism about their party. The fact that she's a woman, attractive,knowledgeable,popular, has gathered a following. Women like Ann and Michelle that have become so popular,weren't around ten years ago. Think about it...either was the Internet. The average American isn't spoon fed the crap the MSM dished out every night by them alone. The American public now has a means in which to determine who or what to listen too.
Thats was has the democrats knickers twisted. The have lost the media to common sense.

Could it be the Aubrey Salazar famed for writing tediously, tendentiously feminist "Women Making Herstory" articles

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.

Speaking of ad hominem attacks, UH AHEM...

Thanks for the picture, it just reinforces my statement on my first post---jealousy is UGLY, also!! LOL

[Backwoods Southern Lawyer]

I think that the guy was engaged in self abuse while he wrote this piece.

Want some cheese with that whine, Mr. Lenin?

Why are you attacking the poster? He didn't write the article.

[Uncledave]

Does anyone have a picture of Ms. Salazar?

I'm fairly certain this is her. It's a photo of an 'Aubrey Salazar' from the Vagina Monologues cast at Boise State, which is the paper from which this article comes from.

With the make-up and hair job, this is likely how she looks on her best of days.

Ann Coulter (...) has apparently made a legitimate profession out of hate.... Is this what public political discourse has been reduced to? (...) 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.

Thank you, Aubrey, for giving us an example of the kind of non-hating, classy discourse you'd like us to use. /sarc

look at the idiot from Air America

you forgot the S. Let me fix that for you.

IDIOTS from Air America.

Anyone dumb enough to include gunshots in an ad referencing the president deserves to be called such. A very dumb move on their part.

Guess what? Liberals can't seem to deal with a conservative woman as an intellectual equal, so its amusing to note they've been reduced to throwing pies and as here, to name-calling. Pathetic. As Ann would say, Aubrey Salazar's column is long on invective and is remarkably fact-free. The author doesn't engage Ann's ideas. Why not? Today, the Left has been stripped of anything interesting to say. Articles like this one are so laughable an extended response is totally unnecessary. Perhaps Ann should really retitle her last best-seller: "The Dumbing Down Of The Liberal Mind." There, that's more like it now.

And performs a damned admirable public service in the process.

Kinda like a car company selling cars does public service.

[SusaninOhio]

'she is a terrorist of ideas '

Hmm, must have been that little thing about shooting the pres and gunshots in the background-

No, wait, that was a Randi the Lib, wasn't it?

Do we get to read an attack article about the spewing of anti American comments on Air America? Not holding my breathe.

[John Lenin]

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. ...

Libs can't handle the truth.

[goldstategop]

Its the old rhyme. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can't hurt me." If Ann's a "hurtful pundit," it just goes on to show what every one knows: the pen is mightier than the sword. We need more hurtful pundits like Ann in America. Just for the sheer pleasure of watching liberals go stark, raving mad.

Katherine Harris redux.

Modern liberalism: When you don't like the person's ideology, but you can't refute their arguments or impugn their actions, you make fun of their looks. Juvenile and catty.

I'm guessing Barbara Starr was (and is) better looking than Aubrey

That looks like a man in drag! I am looking for an Adams' apple on ol' Aubrey to confirm its sex.

[jwalburg]

Yes. Katherine Harris. The libs criticized her mascara-applying technique I recall. When they can't manage substance, they go for the jugular!
