> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I hear the Democrats are rebutting with the argument “Our idiots are so much less racist than their idiots.” /thread But seriously, Anne Coulter is about as honest, relevant, and sane as Michael Moore, if he was on some sort of psychotic drug cocktail. The woman is a nut, and should not be conflated with most republicans in any case. ---

In addition to being a complete attention whore, our adorable little Ms. Coulter is also, let me remind everyone, a lawyer. As a rule, lawyers are trained to use words very precisely and very carefully. An attention whore lawyer almost certainly chose those words with the explicit intent of generating this type of “outrage”. And it worked, at least to the extent that this thread is a reflection of the outrage. ---
