I stopped by the local mall on October 2 and entered Waldenbooks. Then I saw this baby...  Will you buy it? Ignore it? Buy it and burn it? Anything else?  |

I will ignore it. As a comedian, I don't find her to be funny. Quite boring and annoying actually.

I made the mistake of buying "Godless" cause I was tired of hearing Republicans say I didn't like her cause I never read any of her books.
I got half way threw, making notes and highlighting sections to dispute later with people that bring her up, and then I put the book away in disgust. I just couldn't finish it. I now avoid ALL literature with her name on it like the plague. Sadly, Sean Hannity can't get enough of this bitch.

I've always wondered if she actually had any useful points to make or if it's all just liberal bashing.
They say you can't judge a book by it's cover, but I bet the guy that first said it ended up reading a lot of really dumb books.

Interesting thread. I am often surprised that so few see AC as she sees herself, a catalyst for lefty outrage. I've always wondered if she actually had any useful points to make or if it's all just liberal bashing.
Treason set forth a slightly overstated thesis, but was a pretty well documented recounting of where the american left stood all too often during the cold war. |

zuk, I'm sorry, but that's just crap.
That goes for the Cold War and this war.
Anyone who even theorizes that the left "wants to lose the war on terror" or "commits treason" or "hates American troops" simply can't make a good point at all and resorts to attacking sacred pieces of America, like it's troops and it's pride, to make a point.
Ann Coulter is a bitch and a half who has nothing better to do than create conflict.
It's also ironic that she would say the September 11th widows were "cashing in on the deaths of their husbands" when she was cashing in on saying something that provacative.
There aren't enough negative words in the English dictionary for me to convey my disgust for this woman.

I will give your opinion on the cold war the weight it merits. Is it that you think Alger Hiss was innocent and that the unfriendly ten were unfairly examined? Or are you simply not very familiar with the period? Anyone who even theorizes that the left ..."commits treason" or "hates American troops" simply can't make a good point at all and resorts to attacking sacred pieces of America, like it's troops and it's pride, to make a point. Sadly, you are mistaken. Read Whittaker Chambers' book Witness. It is illuminating. Did you think Jane Fonda posed for North Vietnamese communist propoganda out of an over-riding affection for US forces? The balance of your post is not responsive to anything I wrote. Is this the thoughtful response of someone who has read half of one of here books? You do understand that your reaction is the sort her work is designed to provoke from the left of center, right? |

Or are simply not familiar with the period? Sadly, my high school hired a foot ball coach to teach history and keep cost low, so I admit my education of history is poor, at best, especially about anything after WW II. If history comes up in a debate I usually have to research it myself, expecially details like this. My comment was about leftist politicians like Kennedy, not random officials who subscribed to leftist ideals. Anyone who even theorizes that the left ..."commits treason" or "hates American troops" simply can't make a good point at all and resorts to attacking sacred pieces of America, like it's troops and it's pride, to make a point. Sadly, you are mistaken. Read Whittaker Chambers' book Witness. It is illuminating. Did you think Jane Fonda posed for North Vietnamese communist propoganda out of an over-riding affection for US forces? Again, I was referring to politicians. It just astounds me that Reoublicans can call Democrats "unAmerican" and get away with it. Neither party is doing what Americans want and for one to take a moral high ground in this argument just disgusts me. Then to accuse Democrats of "not supporting the troops" like only Republicans serve in the armed forces. I just get fed up with it. The balance of your post is not responsive to anything I wrote. Is this the thoughtful response of someone who has read half of one of here books? How was my reply unbalanced? You do understand that your reaction is the sort her work is designed to provoke from the left of center, right? I know this. But you show me a leftist author that gets the same amount of attention for writing flagrantly disgusting pieces of literature AND THEN POSES AS A POLIICAL COMMENTATOR. Al Franken and Michale Moore simply DO NOT COMPARE. My only point is that too many people take here seriously and don't see her for the spin artist she is. |

But you show me a leftist author that gets the same amount of attention for writing flagrantly disgusting pieces of literature AND THEN POSES AS A POLIICAL COMMENTATOR.

He is a serious propogandist. Franken is pretty close though. My only point is that too many people take here seriously and don't see her for the spin artist she is.
I've read little of her work in Treason. I can tell you from a prior interest in the topic that when you get beyond the goading rhetoric, her basic research is pretty solid. After WWII, parts of the dem party suffered an unfortunate tolerance for communists. Other democrats like JFK were reliable anti-communists and were political allies of Nixon and McCarthy. This isn't all ancient history either. In the late seventies and early eighties, congressional democrats sold out democracy in Nicaragua and refused to support counter-communist groups. Ted Kennedy early on proposed US support for the communists. You may not like her style (painting all dems with one brush), but her message on this point is historically correct. |

Personally, I don't care about her, except when I see numerous boneheads listening to her every word and taking it as gospel. She is loved by a lot of fat, old, rich white guys, since she's a skinny female that will actually talk to them. She indeed has no soul, and as I said, usually I wouldn't give a crap, if it weren't for the fact that she distorts the views of others for cash.

Very good point in re "the left". Neither the left nor the right are monoliths-each has much division and many factions (some of whom hate each other more than they do the other side!). Coulter is a cheap clown just like Franken, Moore, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Olbermann and the rest. OswaldTheOsprey |

But you show me a leftist author that gets the same amount of attention for writing flagrantly disgusting pieces of literature AND THEN POSES AS A POLIICAL COMMENTATOR. Chomsky, Clift, Krugman, Vanden Heuvel and Alter are all odious authors and regularly comment on politics. Hey! I like Chomsky  . Honestly, I wouldn't consider him ANY where near the level of Coulter. I mean, at least Chomsky spreads his disgust across the political divide. Plus, I don't recall Chomsky being on TV in the last few years but every time Coulter comes out with a book she's shoulder to shoulder with Hannity. CNN even lets her on... The other authors I haven't read. Al Franken and Michale Moore simply DO NOT COMPARE. I agree that Moore doesn't compare well. He is a serious propogandist. Franken is pretty close though. Franken doesn't get the coverage that Coulter gets, in my opinion. Moore gets it for his documenteries, but generally they aren't mean-spririted, which is more than I can say for Coulter. My only point is that too many people take here seriously and don't see her for the spin artist she is.

Well LBJ can't be considered this way. He ruined this country pursuing Communism in Vietnam. If any Democrat deserves the ire of Ann Coulter it's that guy... but then people would begin to draw too many similarities in policy LBJ and W. Bush. |
