I was going to say “stunning,” but I have to admit the things she says do occasionally leave me stunned. ---

Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter = Hitler. Sorry. Its the truth. Im sure if they were in Nazi Germany in the 30’s, they would be shoving Jews on to the trains ahead of everyone else. They’d also be wearing white sheets and burning crosses (who knows, they probably do) Honestly. The real America, the one that believes in freedom, an accountable government, and democracy is being eroded by their ilk. It is these people that fan the flames of racial hatred, ignorance, and intolerance. Unbelievable. Please do not insult stick insects by stating that they could evolve from Ann Coulter. Another Hitler evolves from Ann Coulter, and it will probably happen a lot faster. ---

I predict that this book will hit the best seller list and stay there for a few months, selling left and right all over the country. I also predict that exactly none of the conservatives I know will admit to owning a copy. ---

Well, I don’t consider myself a cconservative, nor will I buy a copy…but I may check it out of the local library. It should be good for a few laughs at the very least! 😛 I will be shocked (and a bit saddened) if its a best seller though… -XT ---

Ever hear of a guy named PT Barnum? Did you know you order Ann Coulter is person for only $20,000-$50,000 plus first class airfare?

> [@JPen](#): > > \*\*From the Google Ads:\*\*Get your copy of a stunning poster of witty author Ann Coulter! > > Wow…which words don’t belong in that sentence? As much as I think she’s a giant douche, I can’t deny that she has sex appeal, or at least would have sex appeal if she wasn’t said giant douche. Look at her on the covers of _Time_ magazine and her book _Treason_. Imagine if, instead of spewing hate-filled vitriol at every opportunity, she were a figurehead for intellectual pursuit, an advocate of tolerance and compassion, an encourager of kids to read, hoover up knowledge and to challenge norms. Now, wouldn’t that be sexy? But no, she has to opt for door number two: giant fucking douche. What a waste! ---

> [@DoctorJ](#): > > I predict that this book will hit the best seller list and stay there for a few months, selling left and right all over the country. I also predict that exactly none of the conservatives I know will admit to owning a copy. I don’t know much more about Coulter than what I heard here, but I think that might very well be it. You see, there’s one or two (liberal) posters on this board who I sometimes like to read, not because they’re serious or even honest debaters (they’re too blinded by their ideological rage for this) but because they like to demonize the opponent, build strawmen and then attack them; in other words, they’re good at whipping up moral outrage over issues, and as a liberal, these are usually issues that I care about, and it’s good to feel (at least temporarily) that we have the moral high ground, that **we** know what should be done while “the enemy” is there to destroy it. Of course, I know these posters are not intellectually serious and I read them only for entertainment purposes; in a serious debate, when I see their name, I wonder what righteous platitude they’re about to say to mine their side’s credibility. I believe the same thing might be true for Ann Coulter. Most people who read her, I assume, don’t take her seriously; they just like to make their blood boil over the felonies of “liberals” once in a while, even though they know she misrepresents the facts and reaches loony conclusions. She’s entertainment, and she probably knows it and says stuff not because she believes it, but only for the shock value. And I think that’s okay as long as the people who read her know this. As for those who read Coulter and take her seriously, well, I can only hope there aren’t too many of them. ---
